Ok this is chapter four...one more to go!! YES!! Finally it's over; I really should stop slacking off. Or else I'll get overloaded again!! And just think at this very moment...I'm suppose to be doing my homework and studying for the tests next week!! @.@ Enjoy the fic while you can!!
The guys sat around the table drinking their hot chocolate.
"You know...it's Christmas eve and we don't even have a tree!" Duo told them.
"We don't need one...we know it's Christmas." Trowa said.
"Yeah...but I...want this Christmas to be memorable. We need to get a tree." Duo looked down at his hot chocolate.
"But I don't think they're still selling any..."Wu Fei said.
"Haven't you looked around? We're surrounded by firs, oak, and other types of trees! We can just cut one down."
"That would work." Quatre said
"I'll get the tree." Heero said and stood up.
"I'll help you." Trowa stood as well.
"What about me!" Duo called out.
"You stay here and help me and Wu Fei make some decorations. We can make some popcorn garland." Quatre smiled.
"Hey yeah! I've never done that. Let's do it!" Duo said excitedly.
Wu Fei, Quatre, and Duo walked into the kitchen, while Trowa and Heero went outside.
"If we want a Christmas tree...we need an axe." Trowa said.
"I believe I saw one yesterday. It was by the pile of firewood at the corner of the house." Heero responded.
The silent ones walked to the side of the house and looked around the fire wood for an axe.
"It's right here, Trowa." Heero picked up the ax that was slightly hidden behind some of the wood.
Trowa walked over and took the axe from Heero. They both walked into the trees that surrounded the side of the house and looked around. They discussed the characteristics the tree should have.
"I think we shouldn't get anything to big...maybe around six feet."
Heero nods. "But it has to be...well...healthy looking with lots of branches if you know what I'm talking about..." Trowa nods.
The boys walk around examining the trees that appear to be what they want.
"Ow!!" Duo shouted for the fourth time. "I hate this! I keep poking myself with the needle!!"
"Duo...you have to take it slowly! If you try to shove a lot of popcorn on at once you're going to prick your finger. We don't have to rush." Quatre said.
"Maybe you don't! But I do...this popcorns making me hungry!"
Wu Fei mumbles "It's no wonder he's trying to shove it all at once...he's thinking of his mouth." Wu Fei smirks and Duo looks at him.
"Hey! Don't be smirking at me! Or rude!"
Duo notices that Wu Fei is having no problem with his popcorn garland. 'How the hell is he doing that1' Wu Fei looked up and smirked again.
"hn...I didn't know you could sew Wu Fei...after all it is a girl thing, isn't it? Who taught you...Sally Po!" Duo smiled evilly at Wu Fei's angry face.
"*sweatdrop* Come on you two...cut it out. Sewing isn't a girl thing Duo.(damn right) You should learn...then you'll be able to mend up any of your own clothes." Quatre smiled.
"Yeah...well. I give. I'll sit here, watch you two and eat some popcorn." Duo sat back and smiled.
Trowa and Heero came back to the house with a beautiful looking tree.
'Duo is going to love this tree!' Heero smiled.
'I think I'll help Quatre make some garland. I want to spend every possible moment near him. After all...we leave tomorrow evening." Trowa thought sadly.
The two walked into the living room with their prize. Duo sprang up off the chair he was sitting on and gazed at the tree. He circled the tree a few times and then walked over to Heero and draped his arm around Heero shoulders.
"You've picked a great tree Heero...Trowa. It's perfect!" Duo beamed
Heero gave him a smile and wrapped his arm firmly around Duo's waist. 'What!? Heero...Heero's arm is around my waist! I feel light headed....'
Trowa looked over at the two and smiled sadly. 'Why can't I be as brave as Heero.' He looked at Quatre who was running his hand over the tree. Trowa walked over to him.
"Do you like the tree Quatre?" Trowa whispered.
"Oh yes Trowa! It's lovely. Duo, Wu Fei, and me appreciate you two going out and bring this beautiful tree." Quatre steps over to him and hugs him.
"Hey guys!" Wu Fei called out. They turned to look at Wu Fei only to have a flash of light hit there eyes.
"Ah! I'm blind! hey man! What's you do?" Duo asked rubbing his eyes.
They looked at Wu Fei for answers. Then it hit Quatre.
"My Camera!!" In Wu Fei's hands was Quatre's camera.
"you took a picture?!" Heero said surprised.
Wu Fei nodded, smiling triumphantly. They looked embarrassed.
"Ummm..let's decorate the tree! It needs decorations guys!" Duo cheered.
Wu Fei laughed, putting the camera down and grabbing his popcorn garland. Heero decided to nail on a support stand for the tree. Wu Fei and Duo worked on placing the popcorn garland on the tree.
And Quatre and Trowa put on the other ones. They all stood back and looked the tree over.
"Well...er...it looks GREAT!!" Duo said and ran to grab Quatre's camera. "Say cheese guys!"
Trowa placed a hand on Quatre's shoulder and smiles slightly. Quatre smiles at Trowa then the camera. Heero reamins as he is and Wu Fei smiles and crosses his arms. Duo snaps the picture and smiles.
They spend the rest of the evening snapping pictures and talking. And after a delicious dinner of spaghetti, made by Duo and Heero, the five go off to bed.
