Trouble With the Truth: Heero's Trick or Neo's Treat? By: Msmelanie Chapter Six: Trick or Treat!

"Trick-or-Treat!" the kids said simultaneously at another door.

"Oh, how cute! What cute kids!" A woman replied happily.

"Yeah, real cute." Duo said sarcastically.

"What are you, let me guess!" she smiled.

Th pilots groaned. How come every house they visited, everyone wanted to guess who their 'cute' kids were?

"Oh, a ballerina!" she smiled.

Rei shook her head no.

The pilots groaned again. Some of them acted pretty blind.

"A fairy princess?" she asked again.

"A fairy." Heero answered.

"Oh, how cute! Oh, and you must be a scarecrow!" she said pointing to Michael. "You are a scary vampire? Oh, isn't that precious!" she said pointing to Neo.

'There's that word again.' Heero muttered to himself. He still didn't understand how the term 'precious' fit Neo.

"You are a witch..." she said to Mingh Loh. "...and you're a kitten!" she smiled at Dominic.

Dominic angelically smiled back.

"Oh, oh my goodness!" She laid her hand on her chin. "That is just the most sweetest smile I have ever seen!"

Quatre just sighed. Of all the things he could've inherited...

"Oh, and you are a...a..."

"Comedian." Trowa replied looking down at Jimmy.

"Oh, right. Well, here ya go!" she said dropping a piece of candy in each of their bags.

Then they started toward the next house...

and the next house...

and the next....

"I'm tired!" Duo whined. "Can we go home now?"

The kids all shook their heads no.

"Course not Dead Daddy Duo!" Michael smiled showing him his bag. "Look, the first bag's not even full."

The pilots all groaned as they realized they hadn't even been out thirty minutes yet.

Trowa looked down at Jimmy. He was finally alone with his son, but he didn't get to communicate that much. All Jimmy did was go up to a door, ring a doorbell, get candy, come back, and move on to the next house.

The other pilots seemed to sense Trowa's dilemma and wanted to help.

"You know, I think we should get away from this block. Go somewhere else." Duo requested.

"Why?" Michael asked peering inside his sack.

"'Cause..." 'Come on Duo, think! Kids like DBZ? No, that's not helpful. Kids like candy? Candy!' "...they might have better candy!" Duo replied.

"Works for me!" Michael shouted.

So everyone started walking away to a new destiny...

Trowa looked at the other pilots. "Will be out longer now."

"Doesn't matter." Quatre replied kindly. "Spending time with Jimmy does."

Trowa looked at them with gentle eyes and sped up his walking to catch up with the kids...

"-and so come on! Don't deny it Neo, you gotta!" Whined Michael.

"My time is not up yet." Neo replied.

"What do you mean?" Trowa asked from behind.

Michael looked shocked. He looked up. "Hey Unc, how's it goin'? How's the family? How ya been?"

Trowa looked down at him strangely.

Michael tapped Jimmy's arm. "Jim!" He shouted in a high tone. Then, he cleared his throat and softened his tone again. "Jimmy? Hey, your dads here." he said pointing up.

Jimmy looked up.

Then he bumped into Mingh Loh.

"Crazy otoko! Watch where your going!" she shouted out.

Jimmy didn't reply, but slowed down to let Trowa catch up.

Trowa looked at Jimmy.

Jimmy tried to look at Trowa, but then he bumped into Dominic.

"Hey, watch it!" Dominic cried as they both tumbled. They quickly stood back up and brushed themselves off.

"Sorry." Jimmy replied.

The pilots looked at them.

"Great." Duo said sarcastically. "We give'em all the time in the world, but now he's doing nothing!"

Heero looked back at Duo. "Talking is not how Trowa communicates."

"Oh?" Duo stopped suddenly causing Wufei to bump into him.

"Oh, you stupid Otoko!" "Oh, you stupid Otoko!"

Duo looked back at Wufei. Why did he hear the same phrase from behind and in front of him? "Did you just throw your voice?"

"No." Wufei muttered. "Jimmy bumped into Mingh Loh again."

Quatre sighed. He had to help Trowa. "Duo, could you do something for me?"

Trowa looked down at Jimmy. He refused to look up anymore. He was falling down too much. Then Trowa felt a sharp pain in the back of his head. He looked in back of himself.

Duo waved to him and held his arms out in a weird position. Then Quatre tried it. Wufei was just pointing up. What were they trying to say? Then Heero just mouthed something. Trowa looked back at Jimmy and scooped him up in his arms.

Jimmy seemed dazed a second as he realized what happened. In one hand Trowa held Jimmy's Trick or Treat Bag. In the other, he held him. Jimmy looked at Trowa. "..."

"Jimmy." Trowa said as he looked at him. "Could we talk?"

Jimmy nodded his head yes.

"Do you..." Trowa looked at his son. He couldn't believe it. He actually had his son in his arms, able to speak to him...and he couldn't think of what to say. There were hundreds of things he wanted to communicate to him, but now he didn't know if he could. 'What do I start with?' "..."

Jimmy looked at Trowa. "Favorite color."

Trowa looked back at him.

"Purple." Jimmy replied.

Trowa seemed to have a glimmer in his eye. He knew something about his son finally. He likes the color purple. What else could he learn?

"Favorite Bedtime Story?" Trowa asked.

"Velveteen Rabbit." Jimmy replied.

Fifteen blocks later...

The guys sighed. They didn't want to break up Trowa's time with Jimmy but...

"Daduo! I'm tired of walking!" Michael complained. "Can we just start from here?"

The kids all stopped and shook their heads to agree with Michael. Trowa looked at the kids.

"I guess this is far enough." Trowa sighed as he set Jimmy down. The kids took off to the house. The guys followed them slowly.

Ding Dong!

A nice woman answered the door. "Hello?"

"Trick or Treat!" the kids shouted.

The woman laughed. "My goodness. You are just a mirror image as to what the pilots used to look like!" she laughed.

That caught the guys' attention.

"You knew our-" Michael shoved Dominic's shoulder quickly. "You knew the Gundam Pilots?"

"No. Just saw many images after..." Her smile faded as she let the kids put their fingers into the candy bowl.

"Please stop by again next year." she sadly smiled to the children before she shut the door.

"I think she was a bit strange." Michael replied. "What did she mean after the fact?"

"Don't worry about it." Duo said as the pilots ushered the kids to the next house...

At about Ten o' clock...

The kids knocked on the door of their own house.

"Trick or Treat!" they said.

Dorothy frowned. "You left at 7:00. Why are you just now coming home?"

The kids all pointed to the guys.

"We did something wrong again, didn't we?" Duo asked.

Hilde came to the door. "Duo. Michael. Gone Three Hours Straight."

Once again, Michael pointed at Duo. "He insisted we walk fifteen blocks to get better candy."

Hilde ushered the children inside. All of them took off upstairs.

"Hold on a second!" Relena shouted as she was coming downstairs. "Have you had your candy checked?"

The kids groaned. Relena took away the bags and gave them to the guys. "Check their candy?"

"For what?" Duo asked. "Taste?"

Relena frowned at Duo's comment. "No. Sharp Objects."

"What?!" Duo shouted.

"Yes, and any tampering." Dorothy added.

"Tampering?!" Quatre cried out.

"Yep. It's been a long night, so we are turning in early." Relena said as the girls headed for bed. "Don't let the kids stay up for too much longer either."

The guys all agreed to the comment. In fact, as soon as the women went upstairs, they ushered the kids to bed.

"-But Daddy Dude Duo! One piece?!" Michael pleaded.

"Nope. We're examining your candy." Duo replied.

"Daddy Quatre, come on! It takes no more than ten minutes to check it!" Dominic frowned.

"Not for us." Quatre replied. "We should be done by morning though."

The kids all looked very upset toward the pilots. Even Rei seemed a tiny bit teed at Heero. They all went upstairs though, while the pilots started the process of checking the candy.

Upstairs in Michael's Room...

"All bets are up!" Michael smiled. "Time to pay the piper!"

"First Bet was Mingh Loh!" Dominic smiled. "She bet Three whole Snicker Bars against your Three Twixes that she could go a week without calling us Otokos!"

Michael marked his paper. "Won that."

"I bet Five Rolos to your Five Starbursts that I could keep from putting my foot in my mouth for a whole week!" Dominic laughed. "I won!"

Michael grumbled. "Okay, so I owe you. Who's next?"

Jimmy raised his hand.

"Ooh, a bigger bet. Let's see...you bet nine chocolate bars to my twenty smarties?" Michael asked to make sure. "What was it?"

"Dressing up as an embarrasing comedian." Jimmy replied.

Michael sighed. "I owe you then. Let's see...just Rei and Neo left."

Neo grumbled.

"Hey, you bet!" Michael warned. "Let's see. Rei bet a caramel apple to ten chocolate kisses that she wouldn't hold Heero's hand all night. Man, I shouldn't have accepted that one. Okay, I owe."

Michael looked at Neo. "Drumroll please!"

Neo glared at the floor. How could his sister talk him into such a stupid bet?

"Neo Peacecaft Yuy!" Michael announced. "You have the mother of all bets! Are you going to stick with it, or go for the alternate bet?"

Rei looked at Neo. "Alternate."

Neo looked back at Rei. "No. I lost."

Rei looked back at Neo. "You've never lost."

Neo grumbled.

"Come on, Neo! My dad or mom might come in to check on me soon!" Michael whined.

Neo looked back at his sister. She was right. He never lost a bet. Ever. But...it was so risky...

Neo closed his eyes briefly then looked back at Michael. "Alternate."

Michael smiled as he scribbled on his paper. "Excellent! Anyone else for an alternate?"

Everyone shook their heads no.

"Alright then! Tomorrow all bets are paid!" Michael grinned mischievously.
