Cobalt eyes turned cranky as he watched the young, darkskinned nurse entering his room, a firm scowl sat heavily apon his lips as he folded his arms over his chest.

"Goodmorning, Mr. Yuy." Clara greeted, albeit a bit warily as she approached his bed. This woman deserved the medal of honor *and* a purple heart for her years of trustworthy patience for this particular patient. "We're going to play bingo today, doesn't that sound like fun?"

"No." He snapped, nestling more firmly into his bed with an aire of stubborness. He turned a hard gaze to the tv as if that had set the matter straight.

"Now, Now, Mr. Yuy. We go through a lot to make sure you... gentlemen..." She used the term loosely. "Have an enjoyable time."

"No."

The young nurse sighed. "Jenny! We may need to use the Secret Weapon!"

Heero's eyes snapped open. Did someone say 'Secret Weapon'? "Oh no!" He rasped, fumbling his covers off of his lap and sitting up quickly. He glared at his friend as he swung his legs over the edge of the bed. "I'm coming, I'm *Coming*! Just don't you do anything that you will regret. I think Maxwell still knows some of his incoherent ramblings and all I've got to do is set him at your door at two in the morning and get him talking."

Clara's eyes widened. She knew that Heero was good on his threats and hearing Duo go on and on and on about nothing in particular at that hour of the night was just something that the old man would have done to her, she frowned. "Can't you ever be a good boy?"

He weazed up to her, holding on to his cane as he narrowed his eyes. "I'm not the only one that's evil around here, Jenny."

"I'm Clara."

"Where's Jenny?"

"Probably getting the other boys ready to go."

"Hn." He clacked his way into the hall, still dressed in his pajamas.

"Good morning, Heero." Quatre chirped brightly as Trowa wheeled him past, both smiling as Heero grunted a casual morning greeting.

"Bingo! Bingo is for the WEAK!" Wufei voiced, although with a bit of childlike excitement, as he wheeled his own chair past them at top speed down the hall and past Duo.

"Bingo!" Duo cried out, lifting his hand and waving it.

A scowl crossed Heero's still handsome features. "We're not there, ya dern ijit!"

"I *know* that!" Maxwell chuckled. "Just trying to get a head start on you guys! I'm *winning* this round!" A familar gleam appeared in the ex-Deathscythe pilots eyes. A gleam Heero hadn't seen in many years.

"It's just a game, Maxwell. Besides, you are no match for me."

"Huh? What's a game?"

"Nnn..." Heero frowned, resisting the urge to tug on the silver braid hanging over Duo's shoulder.

"Now... where did I put the extra blankets and continance pads...?" Jenny mused to herself as she swept her eyes along the inside of the van, taking inventory. "Hmm. I could have *Sworn* that I packed them up. Oh well." She leaned out of the sliding door and turned, regarding the small vangaurd heading her way with a weary expression. "You boys be good and stay right here. I've got to go in and get some items before we can leave."

Duo, who meandered his way to the front right fender of the van, tipped his head up and stared up to the sky with a blank expression on his face.

"We'll be good!" Quatre chirped, smiling gently to the young nurse as Duo began to rock softly.

"Damn woman.. telling *me* what to do." Wufei snorted.

"Hn." Heero retorted.

"Trowa stared at her with an impassive gaze, gripping the handles of Quatre's wheelchair to keep his balance as Duo slowly made his way around the front of the van.

Jenny regarded them stoically for a moment longer, then turned crisply on her heel, resisting the urge to run inside, grab said needed items and dash back out before disaster could ensue.

Duo opened the drivers door to the van as Trowa helped Quatre gain entrance into the van, followed by a cursing Wufei and a grumbling Heero.

"Baka! You're on the wrong side! You get in over here!" Heero bit as he opened the window.

"So says you, I'm driving, Yuy. Clara goes too slow and has the *nerve* to stop at redlights!"

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Maxwell?" Wufei yelled, leaning forward to grab his cane. He rapped Duo harshly on the shoulder.

"Ow! Hey! Watch it with that thing, would ya!?" The braided old man cried out, dodging yet another blow from the irate Chinese ex-pilot in the backseat.

"I really don't think this is such a good idea, Duo.." Quatre reasoned in his gentle, yet firm tone.

"Trust me, Q-man!" Duo said, turning the keys in the ignition. "It'll be cool! Hell, we *own* this place anyway! This is *our* van! So I'm not *stealing* it! And besides.. Bingo's boring! Let's do something fun!" Maxwell reasoned as he tideously adjusted mirrors and buckled up.

"And what would your idea of fun *be*, Maxwell?" Heero pierced from the backseat.

"Well.. it sure as heck beats pissing every ten minutes, like *some* of us." He smiled sweetly to Heero from the rearview mirror.

Heero frowned, slumping down and crossing his thin arms over his chest, a scowl on his face as Maxwell cackled at him.

Two bags fell from Jenny's grasp as she watched the van pull away from the home at a rather unstraight, and very akward angle. "CLARA!" She dived into the flower bed before she was plowed down. "They've gone A.W.O.L.... *Again*!" She yelled, rising and dusting her legs and backside of debris as the small white van pulled away amidst squealling tires and smoke.

"I'll get the med-kits and extra depends." Clara called out calmly. "Meet you in the drive." She then ran into the building to fetch said items plus the keys to the spare mini-van parked in the garage.
