Witchy Things Happen

Chapter 9: Skating trials and Laughs.

Hello everyone! Thank you all for reading this story :giggles: I am having fun with this story, it's fun writing Duo and a lot of fun writing Sky and Duo together! They are such a pair :giggles: Well on with the story and enjoy :) Toodles! :waves happily!:


After they got to the skating rink, paid for their entrance fee, they went to the skating desk to get their skates.

Duo just looked at Hoshi like he was a kid at Christmas time, he couldn't wait to get on the ice, even though he hadn't done this in a while.

Hoshi looked at Quatre and Heero and asked "You guys ready to skate?!" happily.

Heero just looked to the side and then turned his head back a bit and sent her a small smile, as if saying yeah I'm ready.

Quatre saw the small exchange of a smile from Heero to Hoshi and was happy, he was starting to show his emotions more to people, exspecually to their adopted little sister.

Duo then shouted excitedly "Then lets go!" And he grabbed Hoshi and started to drag her to the benches where they could put on their skates. They all had some uh difficulty getting to the ice, even though the benches weren't that far from the ice rink, except for Duo. It might have been a while since he had ice skated but he still remembered certain things about the sport. Duo helped everyone onto the ice, one at a time, and took them around the ice a couple of times.

Quatre was first, he was a bit wobbly on his feet and he kept on wanting to look down. Duo smiled and laughed as he said "I keep on telling ya Q-man, don't look down, if you look down that is where your going to end up, your body goes where your eyes are looking. So if your looking down your going to go down."

Quatre blushed, still unable to keep his eyes forward for a long period of time. After a bit of falling, slips, and crashing into Duo, Quatre was done.

Next was Heero, everyone thought this was going to be interesting, considering he was the perfect solider, well ex-perfect solider.

Duo smiled as he led Heero out onto the ice and thought as he was helping Heero Let's see how perfect he is at skating. Heero didn't do too bad, he wasn't perfect his first time but he didn't do too bad, like Quatre, Heero wanted to look down, but didn't look down as much as Quatre did.

Duo smiled at Heero and asked "So Heero, want to contiue or do you want to take a break?" he asked as they were close to reaching the entered and existing ramp to the benches, of which Quatre was there, clapping Heero on, smiling all the while. Heero had to smile back at him. Quatre blushed and gave Heero his specail smile, only ment for Heero and no one else.

"Lets go back." Heero said.

"Okay! Hoshi! your up next, get ready."

"Kay D!"

Just as Heero sat down on the bench Hoshi got up carefully and made her way over to Duo. Of which before reaching him falling over and landing, face first, on the ground, before she even set foot on the ice.

Duo just laughed a little and said "Hoshiko, your suppose to wait until you get on the ice to do that." and came up to her and helped her up to her feet.

"Hehe. Yeah, I know D." Duo just smiled, shook his head and led her to the ice. There Duo held onto her hand, and they skated side by side. Hoshi skated on the side with the wall, so if she fell and Duo didn't catch her, she would at least have the wall to sort of break her fall.

Duo kept on giving positive feed back and giving Hoshi tips "Your doing good...don't look down, down you look, down you go." smiled and laugh a bit.

Hoshi smiled as she looked up and over to Duo. They didn't see a couple a head of them because they were too busy looking at each other. Before they knew it they had skated into the couple and all four went down with uff! and owws and other various pain noises.

After Hoshi and Duo apologized for skating into the couple, who just smiled and laughed about it, they got back to skaking. After about three or four more laps around the ring Hoshi was ready to call a quicks. Her ankles and leg's were getting soar, tired and she was ready to get some food, it was around dinner time. Hoshi found out the hard way that skating equaled major hunger.

Hoshi ordered a bull burger, with all the fixings, with onion rings ,and mayo on the side, for her onion rings. Duo ordered a double cheeseburger with fries and a chocolate shake with whip cream. Heero ordered a large serving of Cheese fries and a Jumbo burger that he and Quatre shared as well as a vanilla mint milk shake they shared. Hoshi was sticking pieces of her burger and onion rings into her sack for Sky but the little wolf decided he wanted some of Heero's food. He tried to sneak out of the sack and climb under the table, sticking to the the bottom and reached a paw up to steal a cheese covered fry.

"I don't think so." and Heero whipped out a small gun, ducked his head under the table and said very threateningly "touch and you die." and he pulled out a thing of tape and taped Sky's paw to the top of the table.

Sky just shivered, his eyes wide with fear. The poor thing had a gun to his tiny dark blue head, most anyone would be shaking at that point. When Heero pulled the trigger and it made a clicking sound, Sky closed his eyes tight, thinking that the crazy and pysco Heero Yuy would actually shoot him for stealing a cheese fry! ...Then Sky felt something wet hitting him in the side of the head...it was a water gun! Heero Yuy had brought a water gun to the skating rink!

Sky just laughed nervously and said "Can you let me go now...please?"

Heero sighed and untapped his tiny paw. Sky crawled quickly from under the table and back into Hoshi's sack. Hoshi just looked from Quatre to see Heero bringing his head from underneath the table.

Hoshi asked blinking her eyes confused "Heero, why were you under the table?" and arched an eyebrow at him.

Quatre looked at him, he hadn't notice Heero's head under the table either.

"I had to take care of a bug that was trying to steal my food." and he brought up the toy gun and said as he pulled the triger "It worked." he grinned and water started to spray out of the toy gun.

Hoshi just laughed, having an idea of who was tried to steal his food. Hoshi just shook her head, knowing full well who it was. Going back to what they were talking about Hoshi continued, she was telling Quatre about her friend from the Guardian dimension, Lilith.

"Yeah. She's a bit more fun when it comes to the training and all. She doesn't like to stay in the guardian's world too long, she starts to go stir crazy."

Duo looked at Hoshi, chin resting on his hand "Can she do anything you do? You know...the flying and everything?" and made swishing sounds and weaved his hand in zing zags in the air.

Giggling Hoshi shook her head "We may be able to do some of the same things but she is way better at fire bending than I am, and she isn't a witch like me either." Hoshi said holding her hand up, palm facing up.

"Fire bending?" Quatre questioned, confused about the whole element talk.

"Yeah...uhh...well can't really show you guys here but I can show you a bit of water bending, that is my area." Hoshi giggled and started to water bend her drink up out of the cup but careful so that no one saw her.

Duo and Quatre stared in awe and Heero just arched a brow. Hoshi could hear Sky giggling in her sack. She water bended the liquid back in her cup and smiled up at the guys. When she saw the expressions on their faces she had to laugh.

"Hahaha! Bending the elements is a natural thing in the world the benders, that teach the Guardians, came from. Bending to the bender's is like...hmm...what can I compare it to...hmm...it's like art, some people are born with the talent for art and some aren't. In the Bender's world some people are born bender's and other's aren't. With the us Guardian's it's different. When we train it's as if our bodies and spirit accept the new change in us. It's a little hard to explain..." She looked over at Duo...who had swirls in his eyes.

Hoshi just laughed at her boyfriend "Haha! Oh Duo." put her head on his shoulder and rubbed it against his shoulder gently.

Duo started to make nosies so she stopped Duo looked at her and said with a sad face "Don't stop."

Hoshi giggled and went back to rubbing her head against his shoulder.

Quatre asked "Are we going to be able to meet this Lilith friend of yours?" Quatre asked as he leaned back into Heero, who wrapped his arms around the waist of his blond boyfriend. Quatre wiggled a bit to get more comfortable.

Hoshi shook her head "No. Most of the time there is only one Guardian permitted to each Dimension, but in special cases there can be two. If a Guardian need assents then our Elder's are permitted to send another Guardian to assists the other." Hoshi explain as everyone nodded their heads in understanding.


The gang then agreed it was time to go back home. They got up, disposed of their trash and headed for home. After getting back Trowa was in the library reading and he said, when asked by Duo, that Wufei was still meditating out in the Woods. Heero went back to his computer to work on his program he had for work. He worked from home, considering he was a retired Gundam pilot, he had to have something to do, right? Quatre grabbed a book and brought it in Heero's room, sitting on the window sill. Hoshi decided to get back to her drawing and took her drawing board into the living room and sat on the couch, the T.V. was off and it was silent in the room, until Duo came in with a stack of comic books in his hands. Sky was laying on the back of the couch, sleeping soundly and he woke up when Duo came in with a nice size stack of comic books. Duo smiled down at his girlfriend and set them down on the floor. He then sat on the couch, back against the couch. Sky got up, stretched and pranced over to Duo, looked over his shoulder to see what comic he hand and found it was one he liked. So the tiny wolf started to read the comic over the braided man's shoulder. Hoshi move from her position on the couch and leaned her back against Duo's shoulder's.

Duo looked down at her, as she sketched "Are you comfortable?"

Hoshi looked up and smiled happily shaking her head "Yeah, I am very comfortable."

"Good." was his reply and he went back to reading his comic books. Hoshi went back to her drawing and everyone continued with their thing until night had fallen on the their part of the earth. By then everyone was tired and ready for bed. Everyone slept soundly and peacefully. Some having dreams about mountains and mountains of sweets and his favorite dish...eggs, rice, ham and soy sauce. Another dreamed of lying in a field with a wild white tiger. Other's had happy dreams of chasing a certain braided baka and achieving justice.
