Heero smiled gratefully as he shook Madame Hilde's hand.
I'm so glad you came! He said.
Oh, think nothing of it! Hilde said. As soon as I got your message, I had to come!
Yes, of course. Heero nodded.
Suddenly Duo burst in through the door and threw himself into Heero's arms sobbing.
Oh, Heero! Duo cried.
Heero sighed and stroked his head. What is it?
Wufei is being mean!! He won't stop pulling my hair and hitting me and-- Duo broke off noticing the medium staring at Charles in shock. What's she doing here?
She's come to see you and Wufei. Heero said. Madame Hilde, meet my first wife, Duo.
Hilde tittered excitedly. Oh, it's a pleasure!!
Duo glared at her, then hugged Heero's arm. I don't like her. Make her go away!
Duo, where are your manners!
Duo mumbled.
Hilde sniffed the air. Hmm...I smell ectoplasm!
What a rude thing to say! Duo cried in outrage.
Heero, where is the little dear now? Hilde asked, her hands twitching.
Heero sighed. Here, close to me.
Hilde reached out towards where Duo stood, causing him to scream and run over to the fireplace.
Are you happy, Duo? Hide asked.
Duo looked angrily at Heero. Heero, tell the silly old bitch to mind her own business!
Was your journey difficult? Hilde asked in a singsong voice. Are you tired?
Duo's lower lip began to tremble. She's crazy!
Heero, I need to talk to you!! Make her go into the other room!!
Heero gazed at him for a moment, then sighed. Al right.
And make it quick, Wufei will be here any minute!
Moments later as Duo and Heero were talking...
You know, you really can't expect much sympathy from me. Heero said. You tried to kill me, and ended up killing Wufei.
Duo huffed. There was a time when you would have been happy as pie to be with me forever.
Times change.
Duo stared at him, then burst into tears. That's right!! They do change, and I only did it because I love you!! The silliest thing I ever did was love you!!
Heero sighed, then gently pulled Duo into his arms. It wasn't silly.
Yes it was!!! Duo cried. You remarried and were happy, and I died!!
A cold wind blew in and something pulled Duo's hair. He screamed ad clutched at his head.
OW!! Heero, make him stop!! Duo screamed.
Wufei, please be nicer to Duo.
The pulling stopped and Heero thought he felt a slight brush against his cheek.
With the medium they decided to try another seance, one that would send both Wufei and Duo to the other side where they belong. After nearly four hours of trying, Hilde fell into a deep trance.
Oh, Heero, Duo whined. This is all so boring!! She just poked and prodded me with questions!! And if I didn't know any better, I'd say she was hitting on me!
Heero laughed. Don't be ridiculous!
I'm not! I really felt that she wa---
The window blew open and in stepped the figure of Wufei, dressed in a white gown similar to Duo's. Wufei stared at them for a moment, than ran over to Heero and hugged him.
Heero said hugging him.
Oh, Heero! Wufei sobbed. I was so scared when the car went off the road!! I didn't know what to do!!
It's alright.
And now I'm dead too!! And you brought that old coot back to send us away!!
Love, a person can't live with ghosts. Heero said.
Wufei pushed Heero away and glared at him.
Why not! Duo asked.
I see no problem with living with ghosts. Wufei answered.
It just wouldn't work. Heero explained. People would think I was insane.
Duo smiled. Love, I think you already are.
Moments later Hilde came out of her trance and was shocked when she heard that Heero could see both of them. She tried one more method to send them away and it really seemed to work. Both of the ghosts were gone, the house was utterly silent. Heero sighed relieved.
Thank you so much, .
It was nothing. Hilde said as he showed her to the door. Anything to help a person with a ghost problem! Ta ta!
Heero watched her pedal away, then climbed into his car to leave everything behind. He was going away. Far away. To somewhere where he would never be reminded of either of his wives.
Inside the house, gazing out from the dining room window, stood two ghostly figures.
We can't just let him get away like that can we? Wufei asked.
Duo giggled. I'm way ahead of you! Earlier today I emptied the brake fluid from the car. He'll go the same way you did.
At least he'll be with me.
Duo turned and glared at him. What do you mean with you? He'll spend eternity with me!
You don't know what your talking about. Wufei said calmly.
Duo said. Heero loves me more.
Heero and I have more in common!
Duo thought for a moment. Well...I'm better in bed than you are, Heero even told me so!
He lied! Wufei said. He didn't want to hurt your feelings!
Heero and I were married longer!
Longer isn't better! Wufei said.
Will the both of you just shut the hell up! Heero hissed angrily at them.
Wufei and Duo smiled at each other.
You know, Duo whispered. Maybe sharing wouldn't be that bad.
No, it wouldn't. Wufei agreed. Not bad at all.
Blithe Spirit is a play that was written by Noel Coward. I give no credit to the movie, because I haven't seen it. I do not own either the play or gundam wing.
