Duo and Smile peered around the corner, one head on top of the other, complete with bandit masks
(black, of course). They looked at each other and giggled quietly. All the new mobile suits were
parked here, at Quatre's mansion, while the former pilots enjoyed a break and each other's
company. But there was no rest for two this night, as Shinagami and his new partner in crime had
a wicked idea in their heads. Wufei had gone through great pains to recontruct his beloved
Nataku when they decided to rebuild the Gundams, and he even went so far as to not test-pilot
it until he thought he was worthy of her again. (It took a great many Maguanacs to convince him
that he was indeed worthy.)

So now, the Gundams were basically parked in a very large garage. Smile spotted Nataku first,
and the pair tip-toed over to it. The grinned evilly as they each produced a can of paint and
a brush. Duo climbed towards the head of Nataku as Smile started from the feet, and they began
to paint.

As she worked, Smile began to hum a little song. You see, she had just watched Alice in
Wonderland earlier that day, and had gotten a tune stuck in her head. A gleam came to her eye
as she began to write new words for it.

"We're painting Nataku green,
We're painting Nataku green!
Won't Wu be mad
At the colours we add,
We're painting Nataku green!"

Duo heard her little song and laughed. He had, of course, chosen a different colour. He added
his own verse to the song.

"We're painting Nataku pink,
We're painting Nataku pink!
When Wu finds out,
Boy will he shout,
We're painting Nataku pink!"

By this time the pair had converged in the center, paint-spotted and grinning from ear to ear.
They continued in their respective directions, now giving the effect of a pink-and-green striped
Nataku.

They heard the sound of a door opening. Wufei had, unbeknownst to them, isntalled a device
similar to a baby monitor on Nataku and heard their singing from his room. The small amount of
light that filtered into the doorway both illuminated the stripes on Nataku and glinted off of
Wufei's brandished katana.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO NATAKU?!?!" shouted Wufei. He watched in horror as Duo and Smile signed
their names on Nataku. "KISAMA!!! ONNA!!!" He proceeded to chant justice at them.

They looked at each other, and after some quick whispering, belted out the next verse together.

"We've painted Nataku striped,
We've painted Nataku striped!
Scary is Wufei,
So we'll run away,
We've painted Nataku striped!"

They looked at each other, looked at Wufei, stuck their tongues out at him, and bolted.

Wufei immediately began to run after them, slashing at them with his katana, never quite hitting
but managing to cut a few hairs. After a few minutes of this, he too made his own addition to
the song.

"You're painting Nataku no more,
You're painting Nataku no more!
My katana I swing,
For justice I'll bring,
You're painting Nataku no more!"

Wufei drew in a breath and then let out a yell. "ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! I'LL GET YOU,
MAXWELLS! JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!"
