He could hear the soft resounding echo of the doorbell, as he waited at the
front door of one of Quatre's mansions. Beside him stood Wufei, who was
impatiently counting each second it took before someone came to the door.
Both pilots froze as they heard pounding thuds growing louder through the
door. Then the door suddenly flew open, and Dou found himself screaming
"KONICHIWAAA!!", at the top of his lungs, to no one. Duo stopped and
blinked, and with a look of serious puzzlement looked around the front
porch.
"Damn, I could have sworn I heard the doorbell... HEY! Why are you on the ground?"
"MAXWELL!!!!"
"*gulp* Wu,.. Wu-fe,... um, Wu-fei??"
"DIE MAXWELL!!!!"
"Eep!"
Trowa gingerly picked himself off the ground and dusted himself off as Quatre came to the door. They both turned to watch Duo, who still had the ability to yell absurd comments at the red-faced Wufei who was chasing him around wildly waving his sword in the air, who was also screaming threats of braid-chopping, run frantically around the yard. Both sweat-dropped at their friends running around like headless chickens. They turned again when they noticed a figure, forever wearing a green tank top and black biker shorts, walk up the pathway. They seemed to not be the only ones to notice as Duo ran around Heero shouting "KONICHIWAAA!!!" with the ever-pursuing Wufei close behind.
"MAXWELL!!!DIE!!!" rang out through the yard.
The stand off came when Duo hid behind the stoic biker-shorts boy, and Wufei facing Heero, pointing his sword and ranting about the injustice of a boy named Duo Maxwell. Duo took off like lightning when Heero began walking again, ignoring both his fellow pilots and showing no sign of staying to help the self-proclaimed God of Death. Wufei not wanting to waste his chance at revenge quickly followed in pursuit of the braided baka.
Just before Heero reached the front door, where Quatre and Trowa watched quietly, a loud squeal of tires announced their *uninvited* guest. All of the gundam pilots froze and then cringed, except for maybe Trowa cuz he never does anything like that, as the tire squeals were followed by an even less appealing screech.
"HEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
Before Heero had the chance to pull out his gun and shoot the blond atrocity that bounced down the walkway, she had already latched onto him, and was still screeching his name.
"HEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!"
Heero began shake with the need to desperately and permanently hurt Relena Peacecraft. If she weren't so damned useful to helping the ideas of peace end this war, he would, well, lets just say she would have died a long time ago.
As the boys watched Heero struggling to not kill the irritating blonde attached like a leech to his arms and wailing like a dying cow, they failed to notice the two other people who had accompanied Relena. Duo and Wufei, being out on the front lawn, were the first ones to notice, as a flash of blue and gray ran past them and up the front steps. Within a few seconds, both Quatre and Trowa noticed as well. Both thoroughly occupied, Relena and Heero failed to do so. So, the other four watched stupidly as the short, black-haired girl ran up the two front steps, jumped to catch a football that seemed to appear from the heavens, and then yell triumphantly, "I got it!", …right before tripping on the third, and last step, and emitting a small "Eep!" As she lost her footing, she happened to fall directly on top of a very unfortunate (maybe not) Relena Peacecraft who was still clinging to a miserable Heero Yuy. As it turned out, Heero wound up on his butt about two feet away from Relena who was currently in a state of eating concrete. Duo and Wufei were desperately trying to control their laughter, Quatre looked a little worried about the whole situation, and Trowa had a light of amusement in his eye. The girl found herself on top of Relena, with the football in hand, but seemed to be ignorant of that fact as she shook her head and then yelled indignantly,
"WHAT KINDA PASS WAS THAT!?!"
Another cry of an indignant nature came from the area of Relena's pink limo. All the boys forgot their previous concerns to watch this unexpected turn of events.
"DON'T YOU KNOW HOW TO THROW A FOOTBALL!?!"
Right about now the first, black-haired girl picked herself up and stalked down the pathway in the direction of the limo.
"OF COURSE I DO!! YOU CAUGHT IT DIDN'T YOU!?!"
Mimicking the other's movements, the other, slightly taller, girl stalked with as much indigence toward the opposing girl.
"OF COURSE I CAUGHT IT!! BUT ONLY AFTER FALLING OVER MISS RELEN......"
By now both were face to face, and had currently frozen and turned quite pale. Before, either could turn to see if their superior was okay, a loud piercing wail was let forth.
"ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!! ITAI!!!"
Both girls looked around frantically, as if to signify it wasn't them. But both managed to cringe as Relena screamed their names.
"LIZ!!! ARIANA!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU BOTH!!!"
The now silent girls let their gaze fall to the ground in a kind of sheepish defeat. However, Relena wasn't through with them just yet.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!?!"
"Um,... football, heheh," one girl managed to choke out. To emphasize her point she threw the leather pigskin into the air to let it fall easily into her hands again.
"WHAT IN THE HELL!?! FOOTBALL!?! *grrrr* I'M GONNA..... *grumble* WHY YOU...."
Suddenly Relena's eyes flashed dangerously.
"*sputter* ELIZABETH TONNA *growl* WHAT ARE YOU WEARING!?!"
The girl in question shyly looked down at her clothing. Finding nothing wrong with her blue sports shorts and gray soccer jersey, looked back up at her superior with an innocently puzzled look.
"WHERE IS YOUR UNIFORM!?!"
The girl gave a small defeated look and decidedly gave up, so her friend spoke up for her.
"Well, we ARE on vacation Miss Relena."
"ARIANA *sputter* WHAT WERE YOU DOING THROWING A FOOTBALL!?!"
"Hey! I was just... um... you know... uh..... I was..."
Seeing a chance to repay her friend, the sporty black-haired girl took her turn to speak.
"Well, we were in that car for a REALLY long time, Miss Relena. And you were in such a hurry to find that Heero guy and didn't seem to want to talk about much other than that...*babblebabble* and we kinda got bored, so we wanted to play something when we got outta the car. And since I won the bet, I chose football. And it was agreed that Ariana would throw the foot—"
"ENOUGH!!! THAT'S ALL I NEED TO HEAR!!! BOTH OF YOU ARE GOING BACK HOME!! NOW!! WHAT THE…!?! WHERE'S PAGAN!?!"
Instantly both girls cried out in unison about how unfair it was to make them stay at the dorms for vacation and how they had beaten Relena fair and square at ... something.
As Relena tried to get up, she found that she must have twisted or sprained her ankle when Liz fell on her, when she took a sudden trip back to eating concrete.
Quatre rushed to the Queen of the World's side to see if she was all right. As he studied her ankle, he quietly whispered, "Maybe they can stay, it really isn't fair to send them home like this. I'm sure they'll get along just fine." Wufei's snicker and comment, "Hn. Weak. *snort* Women," could be heard across the front yard.
He barely had time to step back before his ears were blasted out before he had a furiously shouting girl in his face.
"WOMEN ARE NOT WEAK!! WOMEN RULE THIS WORLD YOU SMALL-MINDED-MALE- CHAUVANTIST!! I BET YOU..."
Taking in the scene, Quatre and Relena exchanged weary and hopeless looks. At this point Liz was desperately trying to hold Ariana at bay by grabbing the back of her dress and digging her heels into the ground.
"BET YOU LIZ COULD TAKE YOU DOWN BUDDY!!! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE THAT!?! BEATEN BY A GIRL!!! HA!!! SHE'S BETTER AT SOCCER, BASKETBALL, BASEBALL, VOLLEYBALL, TENNIS, SWIMMING, DIVING, BADMINTON…."
Liz just rolled her eyes and focused on keeping Ariana safely away from Wufei, who was looking a little wind blown, as Ariana's fists flew in crazed circles and shouted at the top of her lungs.
"….KARATE, FENCING, TAI-KWON-DO, AND EVERYTHING ELSE TOO!!! SHE CAN BEAT YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH A FRYING PAN JUST FOR THE HELL OF IT!!! Uh….eh….! Oh no!!!"

Just as suddenly as the violent outrage against Wufei, Ariana sputtered a few incoherent words, popped into chibi mode, throwing Liz off balance, and ran in circles toward the limo. Propping herself up on her elbows, Liz watched, and so did everyone else, as Ariana's mini form basically turned the whole limo inside-out and upside down looking for god-knows-what. At the site, Duo let out a soft whistle and Relena let out an exasperated sigh, as the rest just continued to stare. After about two minutes of frantic searching, (and destroying the limo) Ariana came back in normal form and collapsed to her knees next to Liz and began sobbing loud enough for people on L5 to hear her.
"I *sob* left *sob* my *sob* special *sob* FUDGE! *sob* recipe *sob* at *sob* home *WAIL*!!!"
"Um, Ariana…."
"**W A I L**"
"You gave it to me, remember? For safe-keeping…?"
"Really? *sniffle*"
"Uh huh"
"YIPPEE!!!"
Ariana bounced up, grabbed Liz's hand and basically dragged her over to where Quatre sat next to Relena. She had a huge smile across her face.
"Hi! Um, Mr. Um… HOST!!" Quatre winced. "Do you, um, think we could, um, use your kitchen for a while?"
"Uh, sure. I don't see why not."
"YIPPEE!"
Dragging Liz behind her, the excited girl raced into the house in search of the kitchen. Before they were out of hearing range, Liz's loud yell could be heard.
"Thanks for letting us stay Miss Relena!"
When the two girls were finally gone, and everyone looking in their wake, Relena muttered something about crazy teenagers. Remembering her state of ankle-twisted-ness, Relena looked up at Heero with large puppy-dog eyes and began to plead. In the distance, Duo could be seen making the gesture of "gag-me".
"Heero could you-"
"No."
"But!"
"No!"
With that Heero spun around and stalked into the house in search of his room. Quatre turned to help Relena, but found that in her determined-love- obsessed state had gotten up all ready and was prepared to pursue Heero. Quickly, Quatre and Trowa grabbed Relena before she fell or did anything stupid, such as chase after fuming Heero, and dragged her off toward her suite.
Being the only ones left, Duo and Wufei looked on without expression. When Wufei gave him a questioning glance, Duo gave a light shrug in response and then said,
"They must be the other friends."
"Damn, I could have sworn I heard the doorbell... HEY! Why are you on the ground?"
"MAXWELL!!!!"
"*gulp* Wu,.. Wu-fe,... um, Wu-fei??"
"DIE MAXWELL!!!!"
"Eep!"
Trowa gingerly picked himself off the ground and dusted himself off as Quatre came to the door.
