A week... we've got a week to do this in and I've got little bits of stuff to make a few songs... or... two really long ones! Grinning I slam the library door closed. "Stuck in here for uncounted hours... the famed Shinigami prowls for new song lyrics... deadly and bleak... MAHAHAHA"
"Okay, so I'm not as thrilled to be doing this as I was a minute ago... Why not? Should be easy, got all the words, just need to pick 'em out and stick 'em in order sounding like a song... well... this ones almost done..." pic that over there, "And this one... guah, what the hell is that!?" goes in that pile... "Where's the other lyrics Q-man had?"
Searching around throwing pages here and there ya gotta think. I had six pages of mindless doodles... Quatre picked 'em up and threw 'em down, now, I have four. What's missin' from this picture!? Grinning with a shrug I set to work, that damn 'Winter Wonder Land' song still bouncing around my crazed head. It wouldn't leave me alone! What's worse... is there's MORE lyric ideas coming to me now! Like I need more... Hades, this is gonna be fun and a pain. I laugh.
Q-man was right though, none of these sound like something for Christmas... "Do ya feel, Like yer dead man?, Blood around, Body and head man!" I sing one of the verses reading over a few more, considering and throwing 'em out if they don't rhyme good enough. All pretty much dark lyrics... some funny, some making no sense.
"But hey! That's me in a nut shell!"
Scribbling some verses onto a new sheet flipping back through some of the other ones, I keep an ear out for the music. Gotta have music to make music. But I gotta admit, this flipping back through, writing down, and flipping back again is kinda boring.
"Wonder what the others are up to?" But thanks to my rules I can't go see them! Not even my 'Fei! How sad is that? Chuckling taking a swig from my coke I smile, no one said I couldn't roam the halls though... Ahh but I gotta do this! "I need more hot coco."
Sugar... Mmmm... Getting up leaving his song musings behind, Duo walked trance like through the library door down the hall, through another, turned thrice times before halting in front of the slate colored massive sized kitchen.
"Now where's the sweet stuff!"
Zooming from on end to the other efficiently covering kitchen from tile to cress twice over, grabbing hot coco, pop tarts, cinnamon buns and one spoon and cup he sped from the light ashen room grateful that the library he stayed in had it's own coffee pot for hot water.
His way back passed the room Quatre was stuck in with his thoughts and the smaller one where no doubt, Heero was stored. He grinned, "Suckers!" his yelling echoed in the empty halls, following him to his own vast room. The others hadn't expected this... they thought he'd go after the Sugar. Not the sugar in other things. Indigo's sparkled wickedly. He had enough sugar to be hyper a few hours now! Hell was breaking loose and Shinigami was gonna be on the prowl!
After said Shinigami finished his challenging homework from one blonde little minx who had it coming. He wasn't sure if - after stuffing three starter brown sugar-cinnamon pop tarts into his mouth - his brain could handle concentrating on something for very long.
But hey! All he had to do was take a verse from this sheet and stick it on the new one, then pick one from another sheet and stick it after the other one, right? No problem! Laughing sipping from his newly stirred hot coco, Duo set out on his task. He'd be done in a few minutes easy.
Two hours, ten hot cocos, two boxes of pop tarts and one package of cinnamon buns later, a hyperactive Duo bounced from the room, braid waving I the air after him, papers waving in his swinging arms. "I'm FI~NISHED!! I'm FI~NISHED!!" his skips and bounds were so fast he was nothing more then a black n' brown blur passing through halls, randomly hitting on doors as he did so, calling to the others before hopping off again in the large living room.
When the others finally entered, blanching back from the blasting music, Duo was spinning around the room like a top, avoiding chairs, tables and shelves, arms out, braid whipping around like a lasso behind him. None dared get close to the Braided Wonder, not even his quiet honor bound lover.
They knew better. That braid might be an extension of himself, a mere piece composed of thousand silk like strands... but put together, spinning at that speed, hurt like hell! When wet... left red welps behind. It was best to let him be, ware down a little...
Quatre glanced up to Trowa, who looked down at Heero, who looked to Wufei; as one they shrugged eyes expressing what they did not. 'Ohhh boy... sugar high...' Finally Heero had enough of watching the brown-haired man twirl around the room like a nut on Space Ship relasp, walked over and flipped the music off.
"Wha-HEY MAN! NO FAIR! Put it back on!!" he frowned cutely hands on his slim hips.
"Hn."
His eyes sparked, "Why you little..."
"Ahem." Someone's voice cleared, "You did call us in here did you not?"
"Huh? Yeah! Sorry 'Fei!" skipping over to them he waved the pages in his grasp, "FINISHED!!!"
"WHAT!? Already Duo?"
Duo laughed nodding so fast the other thought his braid would fly off, "Yep! Pretty quick eh Q-man?"
'Well he did have plenty of things written out... wouldn't have taken him as long as it did us...' the blonde reasoned to himself. "Well, lets hear it then!" plopping down on the couch pulling his tall love with him, the others claimed different seats around the coffee table. Duo sat on the arm of the chair Wufei choose.
"Alrighty then, but hey, don't no one say anything about it not being Christmasy!! 'Cause it ain't!" Grinning he cleared his throat before starting off in the same tune as 'Winter Wonder Land' was played to.
"Death's Dream Land"
When ya sleep,
Whatcha dreamin'?
It is black n' gray?
Or do ya see men?
Do ya feel,
Like yer dead man?
Blood around,
Body and head man!
Welcome to,
Death's Dream Land!
Where all is Gray
And bleak man!
I closed my eyes,
Blackness took me by surprise,
Next I saw a dude clocked in black,
Scythe pointed at meh neck,
"You're the One" he moaned,
I jumped to meh feet,
"The Hell I am!" and ran,
Into a seat bench, blackout!
Death's Dream Land...
It's a pain man!
Livin' Hell,
And it's freezin'!
Ya walk around,
Laughin' and crackin',
'Til the man holdin' a Scythe comes,
"You're the One"
Then alls black,
And your Dead,
Heart stopped cold,
Taken to a frozen land,
'Cause them damn,
People are wrong man!
Hell ain't no inferno...
It's the friggin' Ice Lands!!
Ya start ta think,
When ya ain't workin',
About the things past,
And the Land ya live in,
Through it all,
There's a question,
Stuck in the brain,
With a naggin',
Wonder on the Green Skies,
The Black Grass,
Wonder on the Purple Waters,
The Red Leaves,
Black Flames and perfect dames,
Ain't much to wonder 'bout,
But when ya sit to think,
The one that never stills,
About the Master,
Is why in the Earth Below...
Is why his eyes,
Are always smilin'?
And his lips,
Always grinnin'?
But most of all,
About the man,
You gotta wonder...
'Bout the BRAID swingin' down his back!?
~oOo@oOo~
He smiled happily, "Whatt'da ya think!?" he liked the last part. Nope, it didn't make sense, it didn't even fit into the 'song', but hey, if it was going to be about death then damnit there was going to be something about him in it!
"......."
"It was... interesting..."
"...different..."
"I liked it!" Everyone turned to Quatre and blinked. "What? I did! It wasn't 'happy' really, but it wasn't 'down' and it did sort of go with the tune to 'Winter Wonder Land'... even if some parts really didn't rhyme any way you looked at it, but it was good!"
Duo laughed hugging Wufei's arms to him, "Thanks man!" He was happy! They liked it. "I started another one too!" he hyperly went on kicking his one leg back and forth, "Don't know if it'll be any better or not but we'll have to see!"
"I think it'll be good Duo, that wasn't half bad, just don't quit your day job." The blonde snickered.
Indigo's twinkled, "NEVER!" hugging the man he loved closer to him, "I'd never abandon my 'Fei!" a playful frown marred his heart shaped face, "How dare thee suggest it!"
"My apologize m'lady" everyone laughed as Quatre bowed, "I never meant thee harm, I shall retract thy unfair statement." He stood straight, "I'll take my leave now m'lord" bowing towards Wufei, "M'lady" bowing once more to Duo who glared though his eyes laughed, "We shall ajorn I the morn." With that he pulled his auburn haired quietly chuckling boy out the door behind himself.
Heero snorted, "Bakas..." but his lips quirked upwards in the corners and his stormy sea blues held a deep sparkle of life to them that wasn't there a few minutes ago; he exited the room as well, leaving the two sitting on one chair alone.
"Well..."
"Well?"
They stared at one another for some time, each giving up the battle of silent will, leaning forward to gently capture the others lips with their own, need for air, and the untimely rumbling of ones tummy, broke them from the kiss induced dream land. "Hungry?" one dark brow arched eloquently.
"Nope, just decided to see if it growled on command." Duo quipped.
"Smartass."
"Always!" innocent smile.
Wufei stood pulling him up with an offered hand, "Come on Maxwell, time for feeding." He barely ducked from the swinging arms path before gliding from the room, a laughing, hungry, Shinigami quick on his tail.

Hi! ^__^ ::laughs grinning:: So what'd ya think of the second chapter to 'Duo's Christmas Vacation Challenge'? ::nods:: I know... I know I babbled in there somewhere... but hey, think it came out pretty good, right? Didn't want it to just be a three page chapter... 'cause most likely, it'd of been that short... Not saying every chapter will be ten pages or so, but I'll to have them at least five. ^_~
And yeppers... I know not all of his 'song' matched the rhyme to 'Winter Wonderland' ::chuckles shakin' 'er head:: But I tried... had to re-write it a second time, so I knoe it's not as good as the first one. But please, lemme know whatcha think of it! I'll have the next one out soon! Take care and please Review!
Arigatou!
