Author's New Note: First of all, remember to look at the date this was written. I was very young, but I wanted to learn how to write back then. If anything? Use this to show yourself how much writing fanfiction really does make a difference. Practice makes perfect. Then compare this to the latest work I just put out for Gundam Wing, Illusions in 2019, and you will see a huge difference.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or DragonballZ or any of those other wonderful cool shows. This is just for entertainment purposes only, and the only thing I get from this is a sore butt for sitting down and typing this out, but I don't mind. Therefore to sum it up. Don't sue me. Enjoy!
Trouble With the Truth: Heero's Trick or Neo's Treats? By: Msmelanie Chapter One: Confused Pilots?
"It's my turn!" Duo whined.
Not a lot has changed for the Gundam Pilots from when we last met them almost eleven months ago.
"No." Heero growled.
They've started to get accustomed to family life, except for a few minor exceptions.
"Come on, Heero!" Duo whined. "Give us the remote! You've had it for an hour!"
Heero looked at Duo, then handed the remote to Quatre. Quatre smiled and Duo just frowned.
Those exceptions being Jimmy and Trowa, which slowly progresses. And Heero with Neo which...is uhhh...
Heero continued looking at the T.V. set as Quatre changed the channel until he saw something a little strange...
The pilots also started staring.
"Well, that explains a lot." Duo whispered over to Heero's ear.
There stood Neo in a suit with a long black cape that was red on the inside, a long collar that spread out around his neck, sharp fangs, and wearing his usual expressionless mask.
The pilots just looked at him with a strange expression on each of their faces...
Relena laughed and stepped down the stairs. "Isn't he precious Heero?!"
Heero just looked at her. "..."
She walked up to Neo and he held his arms up to her as she picked him up. "He's a little vampire."
Heero just looked at the other pilots, then he looked back at Relena. "Should we kill him?"
Relena just stared at Heero. "What are you talking about?"
Heero looked at Relena. "..." He looked back down at his son. Then he suddenly realized something had been staring at him on his lap.
"Dress." Rei said from Heero's lap.
Heero looked down at his daughter. She was wearing a sparkling light blue dress with wings. "..."
Relena smiled as she put Neo down. "She's a fairy, Heero."
Heero looked at the other pilots, hoping a clue as to why his son turned into a vampire, his daughter thought she was some fairy, and Relena seemed fine with everything would be revealed from their eyes. They just looked back at him with equal unsurement.
"I'm a scarecrow Dado Duo!" Michael laughed from the left side of Duo.
Duo looked wide-eyed at Michael.
Hilde laughed from on top of the stairs at Duo's reaction. "Duo, it's Halloween!"
Duo looked at the other pilots. "What's Halawhaa-what?"
The pilots just looked equally confused.
"Halloween Duo Daddy!" Michael laughed. "That's where kids go around the neighborhood in costumes and ask for candy!"
"Candy?" Quatre responded. "Why would strangers give children Candy?"
"'Cause they might get tricked if they don't give out treats!" Dominic laughed as he ran downstairs with his tail flowing behind. "Like get eggs thrown at their house or something."
The pilots looked at each other.
"Isn't that illegal?" Quatre asked.
Dominic pushed his tongue in his cheek and thought. Eventually, he just shrugged his shoulders.
"It's a holiday Mr. Quatre." Dorothy said as she came down the stairs toward Dominic. "During early D.C.1 it was starting to come back into fashion from the A.D. era."
"A.D? Before the colonies? No wonder I never heard of it." Duo replied.
Heero just looked down at his daughter. "Could you get off me now?"
"Dress." she smiled.
Heero just looked at her. "..."
"Dress." she said again as she leaned up to hug him.
Heero pulled her arms back down. "Pretty."
Relena sighed. "Heero, what have I said about that?"
"What." he said as he glanced at Relena.
"Using one word 'sentences' with the kids?" she reminded him.
Heero looked at her. "Don't?"
Relena sighed again.
"Well, that's a strange holiday." Duo said grabbing the remote from Quatre. "But you go ahead and have fun." Then he looked toward the stairs. "Hey Wufei, your daughter found a costume that fits her personality."
Wufei looked at Duo strangely, then looked at Mae Linh and Mingh Loh walking down with Catherine. "..."
"How do I look?" Mingh Loh asked.
Wufei just gazed at her. "You're a witch."
"Yes. Do you like it father?" she asked.
Duo just patted Wufei's shoulder. "It's cool Wufei, at least she's not a fairy."
"Where's Jimmy?" Trowa asked Catherine as she came down the stairs.
"Jimmy? He's uhhh...taking his costume off." she replied.
"Then I'll help him." Trowa said walking up the stairs.
"That's alright Trowa, he doesn't need any help!" Catherine rebuttaled as she outstretched her arms in front of him.
Trowa just looked at Catherine with no expression, and sat back down.
Duo looked over at Trowa. "Hey Trowa, you okay?"
Trowa just looked at the pilots. "She still won't let me spend time with him."
Duo sighed. "Well, look on the bright side. At least your closer than Heero is to Neo."
Heero just growled.
"Yeah, I mean poor Heero, right Heero?" Duo said switching his gaze to Heero. "Shoot, your the only guy who has to watch his back in the kitchen for unidentified flying knives coming at you."
Heero just glared at Duo. "I'm not talking about it."
Then Dominic just jumped on Quatre's lap. "Hey Daddy Quatre!"
"Yeah?" Quatre asked. Duo started to hold back his giggles
"How do you like the costume?" Dominic asked. "I'm a kitty!"
"I noticed." Quatre responded. Then Duo stopped holding back his laughter. The other pilots also seemed to be smirking at something.
"What's so funny?" Quatre asked.
"It's just..you know.." Duo tried to talk between his giggles unsuccessfully.
"What?" Quatre frowned.
"Quatre. Catalonia. Kitty." Trowa smiled. "Think about it."
"Huh?" Dominic said scratching his head. "How does mommy and Daddy Quatre equal-"
"Okay, that's enough of that subject!" Quatre said quickly lifting Dominic off his lap. "Go play with your friends, okay?"
"Okay!" Dominic said running up the stairs. Apparently, the kids knew it was playtime so they all ran up to... all for Rei that is.
Heero looked down at Rei. "Play?"
"Heero!" Relena scolded.
Heero corrected himself. "Wouldn't you like to play with the others?"
"No." she said snuggling up to his chest.
Heero just looked at Relena as she just smiled.
"Now that you guys are almost alone again, we need to have a little discussion." Hilde said walking over to Duo.
"Discussion about what?" Duo asked.
Dorothy walked over to Quatre. "Trick or Treating. This year, we feel it would be more beneficial if you guys go with the children instead."
Catherine looked at them wide-eyed. "Nuh-uh!"
"Sounds fine." Trowa replied for the pilots.
All the pilots looked wide-eyed at Trowa.
"That's good, we'll stay here and hand out the candy then." Mae Linh commented before the girls started to go upstairs.
"I don't like this arrangement!" Catherine shouted as she chased them.
"Trowa, what are you doing?!" Duo shouted. "I don't wanna trudge around at night with kids, going from door to door to people we don't know and beg for food-er-candy!"
"I'm sorry." Trowa replied expressionlessly. "I wanted time with Jimmy."
Duo sighed. "This bites. Michaels gonna get a ton of candy. How can I get my hands on some?"
"Duo. Don't even try it." Hilde warned as she came back downstairs with the other moms.
Duo looked at Hilde and laughed. "Did I say that out loud?"
Hilde frowned at him.
"Okay, Hil. Please don't look at me like that..uhh...when do we do this Halathing?" Duo said trying to change the subject.
"In about a week. October 31st." she replied.
"That's cool." Duo smiled. "That's still far enough away to-" Then Duo caught himself.
"What? Wiggle out of?" Hilde asked.
Duo laughed nervously. "No, I uhh-"
"That's okay. Think up a good excuse when you guys come back." Hilde smiled at Duo.
"Come back?" Quatre asked. "From where?"
"Pumpkin shopping Mr. Quatre." Dorothy replied. "Once Dominic and the others are ready."
Quatre looked at the others.
"You mean, like shopping for pies?" Duo asked.
"No Duo. Not pumpkin pies. Pumpkins. What the pies are made of." Hilde explained.
Heero looked up from Rei towards Relena."You're going to bake for us?"
Relena put her hands over her face in frustration. 'You know, for being Gundam Pilots, they surely do not 'get it' sometimes.'
Author's Note: So, how's the story? It won't be real long like twenty chapters, maybe seven. I'm not sure yet. So, did you notice the slight things that have changed? Dorothy calls Quatre Mr. Quatre now, instead of Mr. Winner. (She's getting better^^) Plus Dominic doesn't know if he wants to call his father Daddy or Quatre, so he just calls him Daddy Quatre. Michael on the other hand calls Duo whatever he feels like. See what else develops as we move on to Chapter Two!
