D.D.: I'm back, and I brought a friend!

Duo: Aaaah noooo there's two of them now!

Nanashi: what the hell do you mean 'aaaah nooo there's two of them now?'

Duo: Uh, nothing in particular.

Nanashi: Good, now lets have angst in this chapter, ANGST BWHAHAHAHAH! *Insane laughter*

D.D.: Uh huuuuh, um, do you want to do the disclaimer?

Nanashi: Yes!!!

Wufei: Well get on with it onna!

D.D.: Uh Wufei? I really would not call her onna…

Nanashi: YOU CALLED ME ONNA?!!!! DIE!!!! *Takes Wufei's katana and waves it viciously*

Wufei: How the hell do you keep getting hold of that?

D.D.: We're the authoress', or at least I am, so I provided it for Nanashi. *Evil grin* I'd run now Wufei…

Nanashi: *Chasing after Wufei* By the way, she doesn't own Gundam Wing…

D.D.: Thankyou Nanashi, now…lets get on with this shall we?

The next morning Trowa awoke to see a sleeping Quatre in the opposite bed, apparently Duo hadn't managed to do anything evil to the sweet natured boy as his head and body seemed intact, with everything its natural colour. Well thank god for that, if anything happened to Quatre I don't know WHAT the rest of us would do…

**********

Wufei was sitting on the roof. The safe house the pilots were staying in had a flat roof, and seeing as Duo hardly ever went up there it was likely he'd be able to meditate in peace. I'm also safe from that braided fiend up here…Wufei grinned to himself, it was handy having a private retreat, and now Duo was five again no doubt Quatre wouldn't let him up here as he might fall off, after all there was no railing around the edge.

"Hey Wufei!"

"AAAAAH!" Wufei screamed, leaping ten foot into the air and nearly falling off the edge of the roof. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE MAXWELL!!!"

Duo looked puzzled, but instead of answering Wufei's question he asked one of his own. "Hey Wufei why are you wearing blue? Do you think you're a bluebird or something?"

"What a bluebird? That is a weak creature, I will not dignify that with an answer." He glared at the five year old, "Now go away, I'm very busy."

"No. I'll only go away if you play with me for ten minutes."

"WHAT!! That's demeaning; I will not play with a small child. Go play with Heero."

Duo pouted, "Heero's still asleep, and besides, your fun to wind up."

"INJUSTIIIIICE!!!"

**********

"Now remember Wufei, you're the bluebird ok?" Wufei grimaced as Duo reminded him yet again that he'd been conned into playing "birds" with the braided baka.

"Fine, fine, I'm a bluebird." He flapped his arms half-heartedly before turning around, "can I go now?"

"No, it hasn't been ten minutes yet."

"Hmph." Wufei ground out irritably.

"Oh and Wufei?" Duo asked innocently.

"What?"

"Remember…you can fly."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!" Wufei screamed as a sudden shove from behind him sent the poor boy flying over the edge and towards the ground…

***********

Heero was awoken to shouts from outside, and on peering cautiously out of the window to see if it was an Oz attack came across the strangest sight.

Wufei was running round on the lawn, flapping his arms and shouting at the top of his lungs "TWEET, TWEET!!"[1]

Heero blinked slightly, wondering if he had watched to many cartoons yesterday, but on closer inspection he saw Duo was running round with him. They were obviously playing some sort of game.

Yawning the pilot of Wing Zero was about to turn away from the window when he heard Wufei scream, "I CAN FLY!!" That didn't sound at all like the pony-tailed dealer of justice, after all, Wufei would not have stooped to such low acting, even to get rid of Duo, he was more likely to chop him into pieces with his katana.

Wufei: But Nanashi has my katana! So how can I?

D.D.: It's just part of the story ok? Now go back to running around frantically to escape Nanashi.

Wufei: : [

Heero started to worry slightly about Wufei's sanity, and quickly left the bedroom to go in search of Quatre.

***********

"So let me get this straight," Quatre said, "Duo, you pushed Wufei off the roof, and now he thinks he's a bluebird?" There was a tone in the blond-haired boys voice that was somewhere between shock, horror and great amusement.

Duo nodded from where he was sitting on Heero's lap, legs dangling on either side of the shorthaired boys knees, solemnly clutching the end of his braid. He had sat there because after looking at the faces of all the pilots crowded around him, he thought Heero's face looked the most sympathetic.

"Wufei I don't think that's a good idea!" Trowa called suddenly, leaping up to stop the said boy from trying to perch on the curtain rail.

"TWEET!!"

"Yes that's right, tweet, now come down from there."

While all this was going on, Howard ran into the room, waving a smoking file.

"I've done it I've found the antidote! Quick get it down im NOW!!"

To Be Continued…

D.D.: Ahh yes, but is it the right antidote? Will Wufei ever regain sanity?

Wufei: I'd dam well better onna!

Nanashi: Will Wufei ever escape me?

All: Find out next time, same time, same channel…

D.D.: Aaaaand cut! Perfect, ok peeps, we can all have a rest now!

Duo: Finally! Lets go eat!
