Warnings: Posted in parenthesis in the title of the ficlet, overall--my bad humor is worth warning, right?
Notes: Yes, I know my Japanese isn't *the* greatest. If you catch any errors, do tell me.

1--That military building *is* expensive and big.
2--That military building *was* expensive and big.
3--Cool. Now, return, but don't forget to buy ice cream.
4--MISSION ACKNOWLEDGED!)

2) Safekeeping (1+2+1--ness)
*******************************************
He didn't know what to say, he was never one for words, but this could be...
The other swooped in, saving him--not with words, but action. He moved, not holding back; there was a jingling sound, a new weight on Heero's chest, lips brushed his...withdrawing too soon.
"Return that, when we meet again."
"The cross or the kiss?"
*******************************************
3) Silent Heero
*******************************************
Heero stifled a yawn, studying the crowds of diplomatics chattering about him. One annoying (possibly drunk) representative was headed straight for him now.
"Misster Hy-uy!" the man slurred, "I jusst made a bet on you! I said you would speak more than three words t'night."
Heero turned his flat gaze to the middle-aged politician, "You lose," and walked away.
(A/N: There's an old story that President Calvin Coolridge (aka `Silent Cal') was so well-known for his quietness that a woman at a dinner with him told him that she had made a bet, same as above (though I doubt she was drunk-I just know that *I* would have to be to approach him), and she got the same answer. The story goes that she lost the bet.)
*******************************************
4) Forget the Eyebrows! (Duo POV--mild Dorothy bashing) *100 words or less*
*******************************************
Duo fiddles with his pen, watching his comrades bustle back and forth about Preventor HQ with boredom. Dorothy Catalonia sits across the way, typing on her laptop. Duo's eyes take in her regular hairstyle with a smirk.
//I wonder...if I gelled those three bangs together, would they stick up like a horn? Wait--she's looking at me odd. Hm, wonder why this time? I'm just smiling at her. Okay, so it's a little wider than a sane person's...// He widens it further. //*Now* she looks properly frightened. My work here is done.// He stands to get more coffee.
*******************************************
The end...for now. These things are fun *and* addictive without causing hallucinations! Woohoo!
