Beyond Belief

"Duo, what is that?"

Maxwell looked up from the workbench in his garage to follow the line of direction Heero's finger was making.

"It's a stuffed bobcat," was the matter of fact reply as he went back to his car part.

"I can see that," Heero said drily. "I meant, what is it doing on the hood of your truck?"

"Oh. Well you could've just asked that to begin with." Duo set down the part and swung around on his stool to watch Heero walk around the front of his truck. "I'm still trying to think of a place to put it. I tried near the door but when Wufei and Saly came by, Wufei nearly drew his gun. Then I tried near the front bathroom and Trowa didn't notice it until he came out and he left to get a lion so we could be on even ground, according to him. Then it got put in the living room and Quatre gave me a lecture about hunting animals and stuffing them so I put it out here just to shut him up."

"What about your room," suggested Heero with amusement.

Duo shook his head and sighed sadly. "It scares Hilde. She slept on the pullout until I moved it to the front door."

They both stared at the stuffed animal for a while. The cat was lean, strected to nearly it's full length, paws out and claws extended, looking ready to take down it's prey. Heero tilted his head to one side.

"Where in the world did you get this?"

"Some woman who put it out after the storm."

Heero looked at him and raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yep." Duo's face squished together in thought. "What about a hood ornament? Looks fine where it is."

"Duo, please, think of the legal ramifications and besides, I don't think it would last very long."

Another sigh. "You're right." His face broke into a mischievious grin. "Landlady called."

"Bugging you about rent," Heero guessed.

"Nope. Said we couldn't have pets in the house."

Heero could be heard laughing all the way down the street.

Black-Angel-001: i'm seriously asking if anyone wants a stuffed bobcat. we picked one up in texas, for some reason it DOES qualify as a pet (but the living dog that stays outside does NOT??) and it must go. any takers?
