~*~
Relena is busy trying to get the children ready for Belle's birthday party. Heero, however, is throwing on his usuals: tank and black shorts. Relena stops to look at him.
Relena: Heero, what are you doing?
Heero: Me? I'm ready to go to see Trowa's little brats. You, on the other hand, are directly disobeying both Lani and Belle's wishes tri-fold by getting yourself and the children all fancy. That means you have six times a chance to get yelled at for that as I do for being a smart-ass.
Relena: . Whatever. *turns back to Troy* Hey! What are you doing? *Troy looks back at her as he goes into his room to change*
Troy: Father's right. If Lani gets mad, she'll go after him. If Belle gets mad, Tre will beat the life out of me. *Sees his father's look* Not that I can't beat him, or anything like that.
Anna: Where's my dolly! *Of course, it's normal for her to be dressed up. She's looking for the Sailor Neo-Sun doll Relena forced Heero to buy.*
Relena: *sighs heavily* It's out in the car, sweetie. *Troy comes out, wearing khakis and a black shirt.* Troy!
Troy: *as he heads to the car with Heero* At least I'm not wearing jeans.
*At the party, Belle is sitting down in one of the chairs with her pet garden snake, Ekans (note: yes, she does watch Pokèmon.)*
Trowa: *entering the room* How's my little birthday- ACK! Belle! Where did you get that?!
Lani: *from the other side of the room as she and Minami fill punch bowls and various things* We caught it this morning. *Today, she isn't wearing the mask, and looks like she did at hers and Trowa's wedding. Notices Minami's stopped filling punch bowls.* Minami?
Minami: What? *She's watching Tre as he shows her their painted turtle, Michelangelo (lol).*
Lani: Where are Ferio and Sandy? *Minami looks up and double blinks.*
Minami: You know, I'm not exactly sure.
Ferio: Ack! *Comes out of Tre's room.* There's a cobra in there!
Sandy: *follows him out* Well, there was.
Tre: *stands up* What do you mean, was?!
Ferio: Uh, well, Sandy kinda wanted to touch it, and so we got a pair of Auntie Lani's kitchen tongs-
Sandy: And Ferio dropped it!
Tre: Oh no! Mom! They let Anthony loose!
Trowa: Cobra? Who said you could have one of those?!
Tre: Mother. *Trowa looks at Lani angrily, who now smiles nervously.*
Lani: Trowa, honey, did I ever tell you how sexy you are when you're angry?
Trowa: Lani?
Lani: *bites her lower lip* Yes?
Trowa: We have guests coming here in about half an hour, and there is a Cobra-
Belle: *all pale colored* King Cobra.
Trowa: KING COBRA?! SHIMATTA! Those things can eat people whole!
*Quatre runs out of the bathroom, pants down at his ankles, holding a newspaper.*
Quatre: There's a giant snake in the bathroom!
*Heero and Relena happen to walk in the door with their children just then.*
Heero: Hello, Quatre. Didn't know there was nudity at this party.
Relena: Kids, go outside. All of you.
Belle: Uncle Quatre's flesh is hanging off! *Lani shoos the children out of the house, and Quatre, embarrassed, runs into a guest bedroom.*
Relena: Mrs. Barton, what was that about? *Lani lets the kids outside.*
Lani: I'd rather not say, Miss Relena. You'd be too alarmed.
Quatre: *with his composition back and pants up* It's still in the bathroom, you know.
Heero: Don't tell me Quatre is afraid of his own turds.
Quatre: Not funny, Heero! There's a King Cobra in the bathroom!
Heero: Turd, King Cobra; same difference. *Takes a pistol off of Lani's hip, which was concealed rather well.* I'll go take care of it. *mutters to self* Honestly. *Goes in the bathroom and locks the door.*
*The group is silent, then:*
Heero: SHIMATTA! What is that?! *Gunshot.* Kuso! It's got its fangs still?! *Gunshot, hissing noises.*
Relena: YOU MEAN YOU WERE SERIOUS?! *Grabs Quatre by the collar. He looks kind of scared.*
Quatre: Well, you guys wouldn't believe- *One last gunshot, then there's a nasty hissing noise. Heero steps out of the bathroom, covered in blood.*
Heero: I knew all that time on Biohazard *1* would help. Just like fighting Yawn. *Relena faints.* .Then again, Relena could never stand me playing the game. *turns to Trowa* Got any spares, Barton?
Heero heads off to go get changed just as Lani brings the children back in.
Tre: Well Mom?
Belle: Did you put Anthony back?
*Lani and Minami look at one another. Lani stoops down to smooth Tre's hair back.*
Lani: Tre, Uncle Heero had to put Tony to sleep.
Belle: You mean he killed Tony? *She begins to sniffle. Lani looks up at Minami, and she bites her lower lip.*
Minami: Well, yes. But Anthony was a very dangerous pet. He almost ate your Uncle Quatre-
Tre and Belle: But he was just hungry! *Both begin to bawl, and Minami plugs her ears, excusing herself to go greet the other guests who're waiting outside. Quatre goes to remove the dead snake.*
Lani: Uh. *Goes to get one of Belle's birthday presents, which is sitting over at the end of a table.* We weren't going to give you this until the actual party, but I think your father would think it alright that I give it to you now.
*Gives Belle the box, which has airholes in it. She opens it, and there is a kitten inside. It is a Calico. *2**
Belle: Aww, a kittie! *Hugs it. Tre looks at it, then towards the direction of the bathroom and watches as Quatre removes his dead pet with a black bag over its head. Belle looks sorry for him, so she lets him hold the cat.* Here, Tre; we can share!
*Soon, most of the guests arrive *namely, the Gundam pilots and their families*. Duo is sitting next to Heero, who is being annoyed by Quatre's retellings of the snake story.*
Quatre: Man, Heero was so scared! It was hilarious! *The others start laughing.*
Heero: Quatre, I find it funny that you're not telling anyone how you ran out of the bathroom with your pants down. *Everyone starts laughing even harder, and Quatre blushes.*
Duo: Priceless! I wish I would have been there to see it. *Everyone looks at him strangely.* Well, the look on your face, actually.
Quatre: Hey, Trowa, are you going to get him a replacement? *Trowa shakes his head.*
Trowa: It was Lani's idea in the first place. She wants to get the kid a new snake? She'll be the one that has to kill it next time.
Wufei: AUGH! KIKOZONO, TURN OFF THAT DEVLISH MUSIC! RIGHT NOW! *Of course, Pearl and Wufei are talking to, rather yelling at, their oldest daughter. Kiko now has on a pink headset that her grandmother sent her, "Points of Authority" blaring in her ears. Lee is holding a gift, as is Hana. Hana tugs on her brother's sleeve, and he bends down to allow her to talk in his ear.*
Hana: Who is Belle?
Lee: I'm not exactly sure.
Kiko: No way, Father! You messed up the last one, and I had to beg Grandma to buy me a new one! *She does, however, turn it off, just as her father is about to scream 'Injustice' again. Trowa walks over to them, Belle trailing right behind them.*
Trowa: Wufei, glad you could make it.
Wufei: So, Barton, this is your daughter? *Looks Belle up and down.* Hmph. Happy Birthday, youngest offspring of Trowa.
Belle: Uh. thanks? *Lee gives her his gift and gives Hana a little push towards her.*
Lee: *whispers* Hana! *She looks at him, then realizes what she forgot.*
Hana: Hana wishes you very happy birthday! Tanjobi omedeto! *Gives her a Mandarin orange.*
Kiko: *whispers to her mother.* I thought Hana was supposed to give her eight oranges.
Pearl: She probably ate the others on the way. *sighs* No use talking about eaten oranges. *aloud* Well, I think I'll go talk to the other women. Kiko, Lee, Hana *they all look at her*, go play with the other children. Kiko, scare any of them and I burn all of your CDs. Wufei, embarrass me in anyway, and it's back to the couch.
Wufei: Injustice. *sulks over to the other pilots. Lee follows Belle over to the others, his sisters tagging behind.*
Shannon: Hana-chan! *She picks up the girl, oblivious to everyone else. Hana squeals.* Did your family miss you very much? *Hana shakes her head.*
Kiko: Hana, it's not polite to tell lies.
Lee: Oh, and I guess you're just Miss Congeniality, right Kiko-chan? *Kiko scowls, then goes to join her mother.*
Ferio: Wow, you really made her mad. *Lee shrugs.*
Lee: So does just about everyone in the world. Hey, who're you, anyway?
Ferio: Ferio Anthony Winner. You?
Lee: Lee Chang. Son of the great Wufei.
Troy: I've got you all beat. I'm son of the great Heero Yuy.
Seiben: Beat my arse. *They all turn to see a young girl with platinum blonde hair, glaring at him. Her older brother stands with her. Troy scowls.*
Troy: Did they have to bring you, Shan-fan? *She pushes her blonde hair over her shoulder and glowers at him.*
Shannon: The name's Shannon! Don't you ever call me that again, Trojan.
Sandy: Trojan? *Troy scowls.*
Troy: Trojan's their nickname for me. Troy's my real name.
Seiben: Yes, the perfect name: after all, it was the brand that broke and made you!
Troy: *yells* Go ram a spacecraft into a colony, dyke! *All the children gasp, and Hana runs off to tell Pearl.*
Tre: Hey, cut it out, Troy, or Trojan, or whatever! You guys, this is Belle's birthday. Let's get along, just for today?
Seiben: *Sighs* I suppose you're right. *Hana comes back, not making it to her mother.*
Hana: Need. orange.
Belle: Aw, Hana, you're always hungry! *Looks at all the people around her.* But I still don't know most of your names! And you're at my birthday party, after all.
Sandy: Sandra Augusta Raberba Winner. Honored.
Dimitri: Hey, don't forget about me! *Sandy gives him the Winner version of a 'death glare'.* Oh, uh, Sandy. didn't see you sitting there. *To Belle.* My name's Dimitri, and this is Duet, my lil' sis.
Duet: Actually, Dimitri, I'm the older one. I came out first.
Lee: In case you were wondering, the chick with the Walkman was my sister Kikozono, the rebel.
Hana: We have younger sister named Sakura! She over there! *Points at her mother.*
Sandy: How come Hana talks funny?
Ferio: Sandy! That's not polite!
Lee: Mother taught her Chinese first, then Japanese, and now she's learning English.
Duet: Wow, she knows more languages than I do! *Hana smiles.*
Hana: Watashi wa Hana desu! *Everyone claps.*
Meanwhile, baack at the pilots side of the house in the main parlor.
Quatre: WHAT?! No way!
Wufei: *standing up at the huge betting grid.* I'm telling you, Winner! Your daughter's gonna end up marrying Maxwell's kid!
Duo: Nooo way! Not the peace freak! *to Quatre* No offense, Quat. I think she'll end up marrying your kid, Wu Man. I mean, look at what she did to Dimitri! Yikes!
Wufei: *breaks his pointer stick* No weakling is going to marry my son!
Quatre: *Changing the subject* Speaking of which, that brings up Shannon. *He goes up to the chart and looks at it.* I think I'll put my bets on. Ferio.
Duo: That's got about as much promise as a snowball's chance in Hell.
*Miliardo can be heard laughing from the entrance to the hall.*
Miliardo: My daughter with your son, Winner? Please. *Walks up to the chart and places one of his little white magnetic markers at the spot where Shannon and Tre line up.* There. That's my bet. Now leave my daughter out of your propaganda. *He leaves the room, just barely running into Noin. Quatre flips the blackboard.*
Noin: What are you boys doing in here?
Duo: Oh, nothing much. Just getting ready to bet.TER acquaint ourselves after the long eight years, ya know?
Noin: *looks at them suspiciously* Okay. But we're about to sing Happy Birthday to Belle.
*Belle sits at the head of the table, and on her head of wavy black hair is a party hat. She looks around expectantly.*
Belle: Mom, where's Dad? *Tre is holding the kitten for her, sitting on her right.*
Lani: I'm sure he'll be here, sweetie. *Clenches her fist to her side.* *thinking* He'd better be.
*Trowa comes from the parlor, as do the rest of the pilots.*
Trowa: How could I forget my baby girl's birthday, Belle! I thought you knew me better than that!
Relena: Okay, I think we should all start now. *Miliardo hits the light, and they all begin singing.* ~*~ Biohazard is, if you haven't guessed it already, what they call "Resident Evil" in Japan. I do not suggest just giving children pets for their birthdays, Christmas, etc. It's not a good choice to just surprise them. The decision to keep a pet should be well thought out. Trowa only did it 'cause he was tired of all her reptilian, "boy" pets. Well, that's all for now. Latez!
