Duo Maxwell and Wufei Chang- Paperdolls
Duo...
It's been a long time. I don't want to fight anymore. As my friends and I stared at the faintly illuminated screen I watched their faces. All so different but also so very much alike. Hell, we looked like little puppets being pulled on with strings or better yet like some perverted creation of paperdolls. We all needed each other... and of course they needed Me the god of death!
"I thought that it was all over! No more bloodshed and dying. But NO! This shit had to happen now!!" I screamed over and over till my throat hurt. it just wasn't fair. We were supposed to live happily ever after like in those fairy tales. It seemed that everytime our happiness was within our reach, someone or something would take it away.
"No. they'll never take away my happiness."
"Who's gonna take away your happiness papa?"--Drat! I had spoken out loud! It was my oldest daughter Amelia. She was looking at me with Hilde's pretty eyes. It was kinda freaky and I looked at her putting on a look of pure innocence--which of course would look hilarious to her. I never answered her question. Instead, I offered to tell her a story about "Pricess Hildy and her pilot in shining gundanium" She smiled a cheeky smile and positioned herself on my lap. A sudden tug on my braid startled me.
"OOOoooH!!! The PAIN!!!" I exclaimed as saw my other daughter Lena pouting and looking as indignant as a chicken. I laughed and gave her a hug to placate her. I remember Hilde mock scolding me for telling the kids too much and thus "causing an unruly raucus in the house"-- that's what she said! I had not even began my story when the doorbell rang and remembering that Hilde was roasting the turkey, I answered the door.
To be continued....
So.. how'd you guys like it so far??? This is the relatively "happy" part of the series in case you're wondering!
Part two- Stars Shining Over Bloody Plains-- Duo and Wufei-- Paperdolls
I was surprised to say the least that "justice-boy" would ever come to our thanksgiving dinner. Well... everyone was busy and Hilde insisted that we should invite the others. As it turned out the others were busy and were having their dinners elsewhere-- you know, with the new in-laws as the case may be.
Wufei...
It's odd to see us like this. Almost like a dream. It was as if everything was startin anew. I had brought along my fiance or rather she dragged me to this dinner. I glanced at her direction and was struck for once how she was not Major Sally just Sally, My Sally.
I entered the brightly lit house and saw Duo of all people being "mobbed" by his two daughters. I smiled as the two girls ran up to me squealing.
"Unca Wuffy!!!!!" I winced at the nick name but refrained from making any complaints-- after feeling Sally's elbow nudge me in my ribs.
Women.
I let myself be dragged by Amelia and Lena towards their father. It was weird to see Duo as a father but then I was going to be one too and Duo would probably be laughing all the way to the altar. Just as I thought, Duo was telling them his adventures again and I put my own two cents worth too. It seemed too perfect. Too perfect to be true.
Duo...
Wufei was here and for once was making quite a fool of himself in front of the children. I could see that he would make a good father.I noticed that he and Sally were almost avoiding each other but I guess it was for the best. So Wufei knew it too. I snapped back to the conversation when I heard Quatre's name.
"Duo... HEY YOU BRAIDED BAKA!!!!"
"Whaat?"
"I said what do you think about Quatre's mission?" I pondered for a minute before I answered. Poor blond. He never liked to fight but I knew that if they forced him to fight for us he would. That was unfair. He was too young. He deserved better than this. I remeber at the end of our last battle I had promised him that it was the end. I promised him that i would never let him fight again. I would never break that promise. The children would have to learn that war isn't glorious at all it seems to be. Quatre would be there for them as he had been for all of us. It would be the least I could do in return
"I'm taking it Wufei... the reports were wrong but I'm taking it..."
"So am I." There seemed nothing else to discuss. I already told Hilde about it, that was probably why she insisted that this dinner be the best she had ever done. She knew it would be our last.
Wufei...
I can't believe that he took it. But then Duo was always doing stuff like this. Hmm..Sally and I have been talking about it and I remember her telling me, begging me to come back to her after the war. Both of us knew that it would never happen. I just told her that I loved her.
That night the girls had asked us to make paperdolls. After Duo's several mutated attempts on making the dolls, he let out a sigh of utter despair and pretended to have a heart attack. The girls were sent into giggling fits and I myself chuckled.
"Duo, I believe that you've tortured those dolls quite enough. I'LL make them."
Duo...
I watched the Wu- man make the dolls as he snipped and cut with precision that equaled his handling of Nataku. In less than 3 minutes the dolls were formed. There WAS a problem though. There were five of them and one was just a half AND all of them were men.
How Ironic.
"So girls, what'cha wanna do with these dolls?" I asked them. Amelia and Lena looked at me with soulful eyes. It was as if they knew!
"Dad... we wanna make them look like Unca' Qwatre, Wuffie,Twoa, Hewo and You."
Wufei...
Children... Who would have known that they had this much insight. I reluctantly complied with them and made them miniature versions of ourselves leaving Quatre with the half. After all, He WAS single. The girls made fun and colored them -- each a remarkable piece of art. I saw the longing in Duo's eyes and knew that I had the same expression in my own.
Beep! My watch's alarm went off. We wouldn't be eating here after all.
Duo...
Wufei's watch went off. We all knew what it meant. Our wives were in the kitchen and there was no need for goodybyes. The children however were another matter. They knew Dammit! They knew. Lena handed us the finished dolls and whispered to us.
"Here.. for luck! Pwease give them to Unca Qwat, Twoa and if you see unca Hweo and auntie Rel too."
I had to bite my cheek to stop myself from crying. They shouldn't have had to live through this. I kissed them both goodbye and went out into the night.
Wufei...
I am honored to fight... I am afraid... I looked at that godforsaken baka and started as I felt the crinkly paper in my hands. If I were to die, I would die in battle.
***************
That night, the war began. After three days, there were no survivors. The gundams were gone and only bodies remained however, there were two bodies among them that held the charred remains of what could be seen as a string of paperdolls.
AN: Whew! Thought you'd never hear from me again ha! Wait for the final part OK! Coming soon this week!@
