A Not So Silent Night
In the Sekkio household, Miroki, Kara, Relena, Hilde, Catherine and Sally were planning a Christmas party. Everything was planned out, but one thing.
"Okay, here's the tradition is that, in my family we hang mistletoe around the house. We wait for someone to step under the mistletoe, and then we kiss them!" Miroki explained to them happily.
The G-girls grinned; Kara had this sudden urge to get out, quickly.
Unfortunately Miroki knew that was going to happen, "As for you Kara," she grins, "You have to do this, at least kiss one guy…"
Kara groans, "Here it comes…" she thinks mournfully.
"… On the lips, and… you have to kiss the guy as many times as you can for half a minute." Miroki finished.
Kara jumps up, "Hell no! Miroki, there is no way in hell I'll kiss anyone on the lips!"
Miroki got up and glared at her friend.
Kara glared back, "And there is nothing in heaven or earth that can convince me otherwise."
The other girls looked on, and watched as this little drama unfolded. Kara quickly excused herself, though she had this sinking feeling that leaving Miroki alone was probably the worst idea in the world.
When Kara left, Miroki turned to the remaining girls, "I know what you're thinking, and trust me, I'll see Kara kiss someone before the party ends."
Hilde carefully asked, "What are you going to do?"
"You mean, what are we going to do?" Miroki grinned evilly.
The rest of the girls stared at each other.
Later that day Kara was standing outside her English classroom.
"Why, did I agree to hand out invitations?" Kara thought to herself as she peeked into the room.
Inside Milliardo Peacecraft was checking papers. Kara walked in, "Mr. Peacecraft?"
Milliardo looked up, "Yes?"
She handed him the card, "This is an invitation to a Christmas party that Miroki and some other girls are holding. We hope that you and Miss. Noin can come."
He takes the card, "Thank you, we will be sure to come."
Meanwhile, Miroki was convincing Duo to help her. Actually, she was trying to convince him to help her sisters.
"Come on Duo, please? Just dress up as Santa for one day, one day. That's all I'm asking." Miroki begged.
"No! Miroki, I will not be left alone for one minute with them!" Duo tried to leave.
Miroki grabbed his arm, "Please? Pretty please? It's going to be Christmas so, and you know how kids like people dressing up as Santa."
Duo shakes Miroki off of him, "No!"
"Besides, Kara and I will be there, the kids will behave."
"NO! No, no, no, no!"
Miroki shook her head, "Duo Maxwell, I didn't want to do this, but… If you don't, I'll get Hilde to beg you, Quatre, and Kara. You know that Kara and Quatre can give one wicked puppy-dog look. There will be no way, you can say no."
Duo whirled around, "Miroki, you wouldn't dare."
She smirked, "Kara is my best friend, Quatre would be happy to help and I'm on very good terms with Hilde. Trust me, I will."
Duo groaned, "Fine I will, but… If your sisters do one thing wrong, I'm outta there."
"Great! Tomorrow at three." Miroki skipped away happily.
"Just great, the God of Death beaten by a girl, who's not even a soldier!" banging is head on a near by locker.
Just at that time Kara came up to Duo, "Duo!"
Duo looked up, "Hi Kara, what's up?"
She handed him, his invite, "Here, it's for the Christmas party tomorrow."
"But isn't Miroki's little sisters' party tomorrow?"
"Yea, but later at six, then it's hers." Kara explained.
Taking the invite, Duo nodded, "Okay…"
"Thanks, oh, and can you do me a favor? Could you give Heero, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei their invites?"
"Okay."
"Thanks! See you later Duo!"
~Next Day, Exactly Three O'clock~
The kids' party was a big success, Duo dressed up as Santa. The little kids had a blast seeing Santa with a long braid. Some of the younger ones tugged on it, though Duo didn't mind as much. In fact he seemed to be enjoying himself. He also was able to keep the kids out of the parents' hair for the whole three hours.
Kara whispered to Miroki, "You know, Duo could go into the Daycare business. The parents are impressed."
Miroki smirked, "I wonder… Do you think Duo will faint when he hears that the Volls want Duo to baby-sit their twins for the weekend."
"Faint, more likely scream bloody murder." Kara commented.
"I still say he'll faint." Miroki chided.
Mr. Voll, after talking with his two children, tapped Duo on the shoulder, "Excuse me…"
"Duo Maxwell." Duo shook his hand.
Mrs. Voll came up behind Mr. Voll, "Well, Duo, we were wondering, since the twins seem to have taken such a liking to you. Would you please baby-sit them this weekend?"
Duo stared at them, with his mouth hanging open.
"Tie." Both Kara and Miroki said at the same time.
"Uh, well, I…" Duo looked down at the two twins, one boy and one girl.
"Please Mr. Maxwell?" the little girl tugged at his pants.
"Yea, you're the coolest, please?" the boy added.
At the same time, as if they rehearse this, the twins said together, "Please, pretty please, with a cherry on top?"
Kara put her hand over her mouth, to stop laughing, Miroki was holding on the table for support. It was a site to been seen. The two little children, both were looking up at Duo, smiling, pleading with him to be their babysitter. Poor Duo looked at the little boy, then to the girl, then to their parents.
Finally Duo gave in, "Okay, I'll be your babysitter for the weekend."
"Yeah!" Both of them cheered.
After the party ended, the rest of the girls came, Duo turned to Miroki and Kara, "Not a word you two," he warned.
Kara and Miroki gave their innocent-we-won't-tell look to Duo. Soon the rest of the G-boys came, along with people from school, and other people. The G-girls and Miroki went at their plan; first on the hit list was Duo. He was easy, Miroki planned this, and put a mistletoe right outside the bathroom he was changing in. Hilde (of course), along with Catherine and Miroki waited for Duo to step out. When Duo stepped out of the bathroom, he looked around to see the three girls surrounding him.
"Uh, what's going on?" Duo backed up.
He looked at each girl, then he looked up, right above him was the mistletoe. Then he looked back at the girls, whom I may add were all wearing lipstick. Before he could protest, all three of them jumped on him. Each got a kiss, but Hilde was able to kiss him 17 times before the half a minute was up. Heero looked up when he heard a 'thud' sound coming from the hallway. There, Duo, barely walking, walked into the kitchen with different shades of red on his lips and on his cheeks. Duo stared at Heero, then looked up. Heero's eyes followed Duo's up to the ceiling where a plant was hanging. It took a second for him to figure it out, a second too late. He whirled around, just in time to have Relena, and Sally leap on the poor Perfect Soldier. A half a minute later, Heero was being helped up by Duo.
"Would have warned you, but they were already behind you." Duo tried not the grin.
"Hn."
"Hey could be worse, really worse." Duo smiled.
Kara shook her head, "I agree."
Both boys stared at her, then look up at the mistletoe.
Kara laughed, "Don't worry, I'm not going to kiss you. I told Miroki I didn't want to, so I'm not."
Duo stared at Kara, "She let you off the hook?"
"Doubt it, knowing Miroki, it's going to be worse for you Kara." Heero snorted.
During this time Quatre was in the study, looking out the window. He turned to see Miroki there, smiling.
"Hi Miroki," Quatre waved her over.
Miroki nodded, "So, are you liking the party so far?"
"Yes, it's great."
"Uh, Quatre…" Miroki leaned on the windowsill.
"Yes?"
Miroki pointed up, "You better look up."
Quatre looked up, "Mistletoe…" then he stared at Miroki.
Miroki started kissing Quatre. During this time Kara just happened to come across, and watched. It seemed that after the fifth kiss, they just shared a sixth kiss of the rest of the half-minute.
"Damn, and me without my camera." Kara thought.
A tap on the shoulder made Kara turn, Sable held up her sister's camera.
Kara grinned, "Give me a copy for my collection later, okay sis?"
Sable nodded.
With that Kara decided to wander around the house for a while. After all, there really wasn't much to do. All of the girls, though Kara figured now excluding Miroki were on a kissing spree. Heero and Duo were standing away, far away from any mistletoe. Milliardo and Noin had seemed to disappear from the face of the house. Quatre, well, of course he was probably going to stay with Miroki. Kara grinned, she took out a little red book, in it, and it read:
Heero and Relena
Duo and Hilde
Quatre and Miroki
Wufei and Sally
She simply crossed out Quatre and Miroki from her list. Of course Miroki would kill her if she ever found out about her little red book.
"Do you always play cupid?" A voice asked.
Kara whirled around to see Trowa looking over her shoulder, "How do you always manage to sneak up on me like that?"
"I asked first."
Kara shrugged, "No, not always."
Trowa nods, "As for your question, I'm just really quiet."
"No, kidding." Kara rolled her eyes.
"Ahhhhhh!!!!"
Kara listened to the shout or more like scream of surprise coming from the living room, "You know, the girls are on a kissing spree."
"So I see…" Trowa heads for the front door.
"Hey, where are you going?" Kara yelled after him.
"Outside, where it's safer." Trowa stated.
Kara followed him outside, no one saw, but Jackie. Meanwhile, the scream of surprise came from Wufei. He was just standing there, leaning against a doorway, and minding his own business. When Sally, and Catherine on one side of him was coming at him, with Relena and Hilde on the other. Wufei wasn't that aware of what was going on, at least not yet.
"What do you want onnas?" He asked sourly.
The girls grinned.
Sally, whom was enjoying most of this, purred, "Don't you know the mistletoe tradition Wufei?"
Wufei paled, like all other victims, looked up. The girls dove at him, Wufei jumped out of the way. Hilde grabbed his leg, while the other three glomped on him.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!"
Kara watched the snow fall outside, it was a bit chilly, but it was better than being back inside.
"We could go back inside if you want." Trowa suggested.
Kara shook her head, "No, it's okay. I'm just thinking."
"About?"
"Uh… Well, how about how I've know you, but I haven't really talked to you or anything. I mean, I haven't even had a conversation with you about anything. I know a lot about Duo, Heero, Quatre and even Wufei, but…"
Trowa raised a brow, "So, what do you want to know?"
Kara flushed slightly, "Well, how do you and your sister get along together?"
"Catherine, she's older than me, worries a bit too much about me, and she's really nice."
"I think all older siblings worry a bit about the younger." Kara commented.
"She more than worries." Trowa added.
The conversation stops there, Kara starts getting giddy. Without warning, she jumps in the snow and starts making a snow angel. With Trowa staring, watching her making the snow angel.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
Kara giggled, "I'm making a snow angel."
"A what?"
She jumps up, and pulls Trowa over, pointing to the ground, "See? An angel."
He stares at her, "Aren't you cold?"
"Nope."
Trowa takes her arm, "Come on, you will be soon."
The two of them head back into the house. As they stepped through the door, they are showered with mistletoe, thanks to Ally.
Ally grins, "You're under the mistletoe! Now you're gonna have to kiss for half a minute."
Kara flushed greatly now, "Ally… You are in so much trouble!"
Ally starts jumping up and down, "But it's tradition! Besides it's fun!"
"Ally, I've never kissed before…" Kara stammered.
"Uh, uh… You have to Kara, and to make sure either you or Trowa chickens out…" Miroki comes into the hallway, followed by the rest of the G-boys, girls, Noin, Milliardo, Sable and Jackie.
Both Kara and Trowa paled.
"Well? Don't keep us waiting you two!" Hilde laughed.
Duo grinned, "Come on Trowa, each of us got a kiss, your turn."
Kara sighed, there wasn't a way out of this. She looked up; Trowa was still staring at Duo. Took his shirt and kissed him on the lips. Everyone cheered the whole half a minute. When that was over Trowa was staring at Kara, who was blushing like crazy.
The rest of the party went on without a hitch. Later they started to dance. Quatre went up to Miroki, "Miroki?"
"Yes?"
He took her hand, "Come on, let's dance."
Kara, whom had calmed down after that incident, watched them dance.
She took a sip of her drink, "That's not what I had in mind for a first kiss."
"At least Miroki didn't do anything worse than that." Trowa commented softly.
Kara nodded, "Strange, you guys have only been here for a few months, but it almost seemed like you've been here forever."
There was no more talk, just laughing, and giggling for the rest of the night. A quiet night, well almost quiet night anyways.
Author's Note: Okay, done, liked it? I've been concentrating on a lot of stuff, but the whole relationship thing, had been neglected for most of the first chapters. So here it is, and that won't be the end of it at all.
Thanks Female Mewtwo for your help, that part about Wufei, Kara and Trowa was her idea. Miroki Sekkio is hers too.
So what's going to happen next? Will Kara be able to complete everyone in her little red book? What fun will they have next? Next time on Wing School!
