What If...



Chang Wufei





"198....199...200...201...202......" Wufei grunts as he trains in his room. He is doing one-handed push-ups, and trying to ignore his 4 year old brother and sister, who are twins. Two sets of black eyes identical to his own are watching his every move, and begging him to play hide-and-seek.

"Wu-chan!! Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaasssseeee?????? You've been doing those things all day, don't you want to play??" His sister, Li-Li, scrambles onto his back as he nears 250. Alec, Li-Li's twin, quickly followed the little girl, much to Wufei's annoyance.

"Playing is weak..." he mutters darkly.

"Everything's weak to you!" Alec whacks Wufei over the head with a coloring book. Li-Li sees the possibilities in this new game, and grabs a book also. Which wouldn't be too bad, if Li-Li's book wasn't a leather- bound atlas.

Fifteen minutes later, Wufei's father calls from downstairs. Wufei's grandmother and her six grandchildren have arrived for dinner.

Dragging his feet, the pilot ambles into the dining room, with his siblings hanging from his neck. His grandma rushes over and picks up the two 4 year olds, and gives them a handful of candy. Then, she turns to Wufei and squeezes him tight in a hug.

"Oh, Wuffey, you're so grown up! And what a looker too, I'll bet you have many girlfriends, eh?!" Grandma cackles proudly. Now, the six grandchildren have noticed Wufei.

"......" He looks down at his legs, where three small boys are clinging to his pants. Shaking one leg at a time, he tries to get them loose. Finally, they roll away. Before Wufei can get safely seated at the table, a pudgy little girl with a runny nose and stringy pigtails jumps up into his arms. Knowing better than to drop her and risk his grandmother's wrath, he sets her down primly on a cushion. She releases a mournful wail and gazes at Wufei sadly, but with adoration in her deep brown eyes. Disgusted, Wufei gingerly sits down in an empty chair at the table. Before he can take a bite of his soup, eight little kids jump simultaneously into his lap. Several fall off, and push others out of the way to get a coveted place on the pilot's legs. This quickly develops into a king-of-the- mountain game of some sort.

"Excuse me!" Wufei looked up sharply at the female voice shouting over the chaos. He doesn't know who it is, but it's certainly not his mom......it's Hilde!

"Stupid onna..." Wufei struggles to his feet, dragging a few insistant cousins with him. "Yeah?"

"Heero's been captured--you gotta help us find him!" Hilde points at the black Mitsubishi Eclipse waiting outside. Duo waves cheerily from behind the wheel. "Hey Wu-man! Like the car? Heh...my dad let me borrow it for a while!"

Prying the little kids off, Wufei grunts an acceptance of the unexpected mission. Tossing his cousins back inside, he yells, "I'm leaving, bye." A chorus of farewells from his extended family rings out as he climbs into the backseat of the Eclipse.

".....baka...getting himself caught...what did he think he was doing...family and work don't mix....fool...out of all the pilots...he's the last one I'd expect to be so careless......" Wufei grumbles for a few miles. Finally, Hilde shuts him up, and they ride on in silence.
