~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Come on in Quatre." Sally said. Duo leaned forward in anticipation. Suddenly a small, frail blonde entered the room. Duo was shocked how beautiful and thin he was.
"Heero will come in here. See the blonde and leave you!" his inner demon said.
"Leave me alone, Solo." Duo thought flicking Solo off his shoulder and grinning. "Hi Quatre! I'm Duo!" he said walking right up to him and taking the suitcase from him. "We're gonna have so much fun and be life long friends!"
Sally just smiled and sat Quatre's suitcase on the bed.
"Now, Quatre I have to check your belongings. Certain things are not aloud here at the clinic. No vases, cans, bottles, boxes, or plastic bags aloud. Also your raading material will be scanned before you are aloud to have it.. No fashion magazines or other magazines with models are aloud. Excersize weights and other equipment are aloud either. No medication will you be aloud to take your self. We have probelems with patients abusing laxatives here." she said. "Also All clothing is to be regulation. If you are caught breaking one of these rules you will be punished. No television watching without supervision and the bathrooms are constantly monitered so don't try to throw up your meals. Duo is to tell us if you do." She opened Quatre's suitcase and pulled a trashbag out of her pocket. she picked up an armful of vogue and bazzar and tossed them. Quatre's weights also went in the bag. His cup he used to put his toothbrush in was confiscated along with a few of his books which were "questionable material". She let him keep his hair dryer but it's box was trashed. She then went through his clothes and pulled out some clothes she thought would not be needed. For example his excersize shorts and wrist bands. also any skimpy clothing that might make the other patients feel bad about themselves.
Quatre was shocked finally after about half his sutff was removed she leftsaying to duo. "Make sure he gets to group."
Duo smiled at him. 'I'll help you un pack." he said picking up Quatre's family photo album. He then set it on Quatre's side table.
"Why are you in here?" Quatre asked.
"I'm sick. just like you." duo said folding a pair of Quatre's jeans and putting them in a drawer.
"I'm not sick." Quatre said.
"That's called denile." he said.
"Oh shut up." Quatre snapped. Duo then sat down the sweatshirt he was holding and walked over to sit on his bed. Quatre finished unpacking silently. Duo was looking out the window.
"I can see why you're so angry.. I was too when I first got here but you'll learn to like it here! It's almost like home... Only without being able to have any privacy." he said. 'Oh well. Come on. it's time for group."
"Group?" Quatre asked.
"Group therapy, come on it's fun. We get to talk to eachother also it's snack time. Today's Choclate Chip Muffins!" he said.
"I don't want to go." Quatre said.
"Well either you go peacefully or they drag you in. I prefer to act like an adult and walk in myself." Duo said. He looked at Quatre. "Do I need to call Sally?"
"no." Quatre said getting up and walking with Duo down the hall..
"Duo!! Wait up!" a female voice said. It was a pretty girl with cropped dark brown hair. Her highlights shown in the florescent lights and her bangs hung in her hazel eyes.
"I'm Iris." she said to Quatre. Quatre just stared at her. "This is Cathy my room mate."
Catherine looked very sick. You could tell she was pretty though. She had curly red hair and violet eyes but her skin was so pale, and she was so thin she looked dead almost.
"This is Quatre." Duo said. "He's my new room mate!"
"I'm so glad Odin got to go home." Iris said. She had her arm linked with Catherine just in case she wanted to bolt.
"Odin was my old room mate." Duo said to Quatre. "He had been here a while. but he gained enough weight to go home."
They walked into a big room with chairs in a circle.
'It's Muffin day!" Duo said to Iris wrapping an arm around her shoulder. "Aren't you glad about that?"
"Sure, I like muffins." she said. She smiled at Catherine who just continued to stare at the floor.
"Duo sit by me!" she said taking a seat. Duo did and Quatre looked around the circle. Suddenly a very pretty nurse with brown hair and brown eyes. Her eyes were behind a pair of glasses and her hair was done like Princess Laya from Star Wars.
"I'm Nurse Une." she said. "I noticed we have a new recruit so let's do the usual starting. Duo will you begin.."
Duo knodded and stood up. "My name's Duo Maxwell. I suffer from Anorexia. I weight 74 pounds. I like the color black and writing poetry."
Iris was the next to stand up. "My names Iris Black and I suffer from Bulimia and Anorexia. I weigh 80 pounds. I like reading and coloring."
Quatre looked around the circle went around.......
Catherine.... 60 pounds
Alex......... 79 pounds
Meuller......... 85 pounds
Iris........ 75 pounds
Amy......... 92 pounds
Hilde......... 90 pounds
Thomas........95 pounds
Meiren....... 78 pounds
Wufei........ 79 pounds
Ashley........86 pounds
It was Quatre's turn. He didn't move. "I'm Quatre. I weigh 65 pounds and I'm not sick!" he said. The nurse looked at him with pity in her eyes.
"I think you are." she said.
Quatre looked around... Everybody.... Even Iris, Duo and Catherine were giving him that same look......
