Trouble With the Truth: Heero's Trick or Neo's Treats? By: Msmelanie Chapter Two: How Many?!
After the women finally got their intentions through to the guys, and the kids got back into their regular clothing, they took off to find a place that sold pumpkins. (All except Jimmy who was forbidden to go.)
"This one Dadda Duo!" Michael shouted pointing to a fat pumpkin near him and Duo.
"No, this one Daddy Quatre!" Dominic said as he shook Quatre's arm to catch his attention.
"Umm...." Quatre looked at the pilots. "Did they ever mention how many we should get?"
"Hundred Mr. Q!" Michael shouted. "We put 'em all around the house for decoration!"
"Yeah, right." Duo said shaking his comment off. "Probably just four or five."
"No. Just 50." Neo replied from beside Rei who was holding Heero's hand once again.
Michael looked at Neo. 'He's playing with me?'
The pilots looked at each other. "..." Having Michael say it's one thing, but actually having Neo back him up is another.
"Well, I suppose it could be a form of decoration." Quatre agreed.
"Sounds strange to me, but this whole Halloween things strange so..." Duo reluctantly agreed.
Dominic looked at Jimmy and Mingh Loh. We're the pilots going to actually be stupid enough to believe-
"How much would fifty be?" Quatre asked a girl behind the counter.
"Well sir, we only have about Twenty." she replied.
"Take the lot then." Duo replied. "There should be another stand here somewhere."
The kids looked at each other. I guess they were.
After they were packing up from another lot...
"Wow, it's a good thing the girls told us to take the van." Duo said closing the van up. "There would've been no room in the car."
The kids looked at each other. They got fifty pumpkins this year!
"Hey Neo?" Michael whispered to Neo. "How come you kept up my joke?"
Neo grinned mischievously. Then he turned toward Heero and Rei and frowned.
"Rei." Heero said looking down at his daughter. "Please. Off." He jangled his fingers to make her let go.
"No. Hand." Rei replied as she smiled up to her father.
Heero looked over at Neo. "Neo. Sister. Off."
Neo looked at his father as if he wasn't really worthy of his help, but he got down and grabbed his sisters hand.
"Heero." Quatre commented. "Relena's warned you that you shouldn't speak to them like that."
Heero ignored Quatre and got into the van with the other pilots.
Back home...
"Hey, we're home!" Duo shouted into the living room as everyone stepped forward.
"Hey Duo." Hilde smiled as she came downstairs with Dorothy. "Where's the pumpkins?"
"Outside." Duo replied.
Hilde laughed.
"Mr. Quatre, would you please bring them in?" Dorothy asked.
Quatre looked at her strangely. "All of them?"
"Yes. Lie them beside the couch." she replied as she and Hilde went back upstairs to join the ladies.
Duo stretched his arms. "Well you heard 'em fellas. Let's move it."
Ten minutes later...
"and?.." Dorothy was coaxing something out of Relena as all the girls started to head downstairs.
"She still says no. We need to think of so-." Relena said until she looked in front of her. "..."
All the women rushed down stairs. The pilots looked at the girls who had shocked expressions on their faces, and their kids who were trying hard not to smile and crack up laughing.
Duo looked at Hilde's expression. "I did something wrong, didn't I? Okay, I finished off the cookies in the cookie jar, but there were only like twelve left!"
The girls kept staring at the floor.
"What did you do Trowa?! Buy the lot?!" Catherine shouted.
"Two actually!" Michael laughed as he held up two fingers.
"Two lots? Heero, you bought out two lots?!" Relena shouted.
"..."
"Where in the world did you get the idea that we needed this many pumpkins?!" Hilde shouted again at Duo.
"Well, Michael and-" Duo began.
"Michael? Duo, are you feeling alright? You believed Michael?!" Hilde persisted.
"Mr. Quatre, I'm surprised at you." Dorothy frowned. "I thought you would have had better judgement."
"We had no idea what we should expect at Halloween." Quatre explained. "So when Neo agreed with-"
"Neo?" Relena interrupted.
"Well, I've never heard Neo lie, so..." Quatre tried to continue.
The girls looked at the kids. The kids started looking around the room.
"Father Wanna-be should've thought." Neo said glaring up at Heero.
"Neo, come here." Relena said as she started to go back up the stairs.
Neo tried to follow like he was sad, but everyone could tell he certainly wasn't. In fact, it looked to Heero like he still had something up his little sleeve.
"What are we going to do with this many pumpkins?" Catherine said sitting down on one of them.
"Decoration?" Jimmy asked coming from downstairs.
Catherine looked at Jimmy. "Decorations? That's not bad I guess."
The other girls reluctantly agreed. What else would they do?
Trowa looked at Jimmy standing next to his mother. He knew Catherine would never allow him to go trick or treating with him, unless he acted very unTrowa-like and exposed her weakness.
"Jimmy. Next week I am taking you trick or treating." Trowa said to Jimmy.
Catherine looked wide-eyed at Trowa. "I never agr-"
"It's a promise." Trowa finished.
Catherine looked angrily at Trowa. Promises. She had a weakness of never breaking promises.
Jimmy slightly smiled. "Neat."
Trowa looked back at Jimmy with the same expression. "Yes."
Duo looked over at Trowa impressed. 'It's about time he stood up for himself.'
"Come on!" Michael whined. "Just one?"
"You got me into trouble again." Duo frowned.
"Come on Dad of Death! Just one?!" Michael begged. "If I say sorry?"
"Ohh, alright." Duo sighed. "Hey Hilde-"
"No." Hilde quickly replied.
Duo kicked back in the recliner. "Told ya. None 'til you do that trick or treat bit."
To Relena's interesting conversation with Neo...
"See? I just thought that if I did this, he'd stop and notice me." Neo sniffled.
Relena held her son tightly in her arms. "Oh sweety, I had no idea. I had no idea Heero was doing that to you." She rubbed Neo's back softly. "I know the way Heero is, and I'm so sorry. I understand now. Mommy will do whatever she can to help."
Neo sniffled.
"Do you need anything?"
Neo sniffled again. "Just a hug mommy."
Relena hugged her son again as she reached for something on the night stand. "Here sweety. You take this piece of candy too. I love you."
"Thank you mommy." Neo sniffled.
Heero watched as Neo came strolling downstairs with a certain gleam in his eyes from underneath his messy hair.
Relena stood at the top of the staircase and looked at Heero with an expression that didn't say 'nice-to-see-ya.' "Heero. Here. Now."
Heero looked at Relena. "What about your one word 'sentences'?"
Relena's expression changed even more, and he suddenly wondered why the hell he had to make that remark as he went upstairs.
Relena led him to her room. Heero looked around. Her room seemed strange to him. Wallpaper with pink roses went all around the room, and even her bed had a blush tint. Heero stopped observing her surroundings as he realized she was staring at him.
"Heero. Sit down. We need to talk." she said as she sat down on her bed. Heero followed her lead.
Downstairs while this important discussion is taking place...
Trowa looked over at Jimmy who stayed beside his mom. Catherine watched Trowa nervously.
Duo watched both of them. 'Boy, was I lucky that Hilde didn't want to keep me from my so'-"Ouch!"
Michael giggled.
Duo looked down at Michael.
"What?" Michael answered.
"Why'd you pinch me?" Duo asked.
"I didn't pinch you." Michael commented.
Duo frowned. "Kid, your the only one next to me."
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean it was me." Michael replied
Duo sighed and looked over at Trowa. 'Where was I again? Oh yeah, it's a good thing that Hil-' "Ouch!"
Michael laughed.
Duo frowned at Michael. "Kid, why do ya keep pinchin' me?"
"-But I'm not!" Michael said in defense.
Duo looked back at Trowa. 'Actually, maybe Trowa doesn't have it half bad after all. At least his son doesn't pinch him in the back of the le-"Ouch!"
Duo looked back down at Michael.
Michael just smiled. "Sup Fallen Angel Death Dad Dude? I'm bored."
Duo sat back up in the recliner again. "Fallen Angel Death Dad Dude? Couldn't you stick to a maximum of two or three words?"
"Come on Daddo Duo, I'm bored!" pouted Michael.
"Well..." Duo looked around. He knew that his options were find a scapegoat or get used to the pinching. "What about Dominic?" Duo pointed to Dominic beside Quatre. "I'm sure you two can think of something."
Michael went over to Dominic and started to talk.
Quatre was busy reading the paper, but once in awhile he looked upstairs. 'Relena sure is keeping Heero up there for awhile? I wonder what's going on?'
Minutes Later...
"Winner! Maxwell!" Wufei shouted as he came out carrying Mingh Loh on his shoulders, and haphazardly carrying Dominic and Michael by their waists.
Quatre stopped reading the paper and got up. Duo didn't bother getting up. ""What's wrong Wu? What'd he do?" he asked uninterested. Poor Duo. There was a time 'I didn't do it.' was his most popular phrase. Now it's always 'What'd he do?' There was never any reason to clarify Michael's name.
"Watch your own children." Wufei said looking at Quatre and Duo.
Quatre looked at Dominic. "When did you leave my side?"
"Nothing-I mean never." Dominic smiled angelically.
"Yeah, never." Michael agreed. "I didn't do nuttin, neither did Dom. We're innocent and have done nothing wrong."
Duo looked at Wufei. "They did something, didn't they?"
"Not that I know of." Wufei replied. "Your children are not of my concern, so keep them out of my room." Wufei looked around. "Where's Yuy?"
"Still upstairs." Quatre said a little worried.
"Well, tell him to keep his spooky children out too." Wufei said as he started leaving the room with Mingh Loh.
Now to the very important discussion upstairs...
Heero glared at the floor as Relena continued to talk. 'Damn. He's good.' he growled to himself.
"-he also says that you've never tried since that event! Heero, that was over eleven months ago!" Relena shouted. "Is it also true that you still make Neo grab Rei's hand from you because you won't hold hers still?"
Heero continued to look at the floor. He had to admit, his son was much better than good.
"Heero, Neo's just like you, and he has a hard time expressing his feelings. But if you don't express your feelings and he doesn't express his feelings, then you'll never get anywhere! All he can do is mess up, so you'll take notice of him!" Relena started to get a whiny sound coming from her voice. "My baby's going to end up becoming a juvenile delinquent because you refuse to show that you care for him!"
Heero glanced up at Relena for a second, then started glaring at a nearby wall.
Relena sighed as she calmed her voice down. "Heero. You make my daughter so happy, but your making my son so angry." She looked away. "Plus, you aren't exactly helping with their vocabulary..."
"Not my fault." Heero grumbled in spite of himself.
Relena took Heero's chin. "I know Heero, but I must do something for their sake."
Heero tried to keep his emotionless mask from falling, but it was getting hard. Was she saying what it sounded like she was saying? "Are you telling me to leave?"
Author's Note: Oh no! Could it be true? Is Relena going to make Heero leave? She wouldn't right? I mean all that time machine work before, would she just give up now? For her son?
