Adventures in Baby-sitting
"Hey you guys! Over here!" Becca waved at the group of teenagers that were entering the parking lot.
"Hey," Heero replied, as they approached Jennifer.
"Hello, okay, so I can take six people with me and Robin can take four," Jenn said, counting on her fingers.
"Hm... I will ride in the van with you Jenn, if that's okay?" Relena said, smiling at Jenn.
Jenn nodded her head, "m'kay, who else?"
"Well, if Relena's going in the van, I'll go too!" Hilde said, "Duo, get your ass in here!" Hilde yelled from the back seat of the van.
"Uh, yes ma'am," Duo squeaked, climbing into the van also.
"I will also ride in the van Jenn," Quatre said, smiling and taking one of the pilot seats.
"Where the boss goes, I follow," Dorothy said, following Quatre and then taking the back seat next to Hilde.
"Okay, that leaves one more seat, so, who's it gonna be?" Jenn asked, scanning the group for volunteers.
"Come on Heero, you should ride with us!" Duo yelled out the window, leaning over Hilde.
"Duo, get offa me! Come on Heero, you get the other pilot seat behind Relena," Hilde said, pushing Duo's head away.
"... fine," Heero walked over to the van and climbed into the Pilot seat near the door, and then shut the door.
"Okay Robin, that means you get Trowa, Catherine, and Wufei," Jenn said, waving to fuming Robin.
"Nani!? Why do I have to ride with this weak Onna!?" Wufei yelled, glaring at Robin.
"It's no picnic for me either buddy, just get in the car and shut up," Robin said, climbing into the car.
"I can tell this is going to be a very long five minute ride," Catherine sighed, climbing into the back seat, followed by a silent Trowa.
"Okay slick, we'll meet you at the mall as soon as we drop the guys off at my house," Jenn said, right before she left the parking lot.
"Roger that chief, meet you at the usual place," Becca replied, and started to drive off to the mall.
"Hey, you guys don't mind if I listen to some music do you?" Jenn asked the group, while pulling out a blank CD and putting it into the CD player.
"No, we probably won't be able to understand it anyway," Heero said, looking at Jenn's eyes through the rear view mirror.
"Uh, why do you say that?" Jenn asked, looking a little confused.
"The English bands here talk so fast that you can't understand a thing they say," Quatre said, remembering one of the many attempts he made to listen to a rap song.
"Hey, speak for yourselves! I can understand them just fine!" Duo said proudly, only to receive a smack in the head from Hilde.
"Yeah, well English isn't our first language like some people!" Hilde scolded.
"He he he," Jenn giggled, "I think you will be surprised to find that you can understand this quite well!"
"Eh? What do you mean?" Relena asked, looking at Jenn confused.
"Oh, you'll see!" Jenn said slyly, pushing the play button.

"Nani!?" Heero could hardly believe what he was hearing.
"Ha ha ha! Did I surprise you, huh?" Jenn laughed at the expense of all the other occupants of her van.
"Jenn, you listen to Japanese music?" Quatre asked, listening to the song run it's coarse.
"Yeah, sure I do! It's probably my favorite type of music!" Jenn stated enthusiastically, then beginning to sing along to the song.
"Ano, Jenn-chan, do ya have any American Music on this CD?" Duo asked, after the song had ended.
"Yeah, sure, hold on a second," Jenn pushed the skip button and a slow song started to play through the car.
Are you sending me, some kind of sign tonight
Trying to tell me alone that it will be alright
I can feel you- - in this room
Like the sun, lies the moon...
Love is a gift, that I give you tonight
Under the stars, to where ever you are
Love is a gift, that I promise I will give you
My heart to yours, ForEverMore
"Yeah, this is nice..." Duo said, leaning his head back against the seat.
"But this is better," Relena reached for the CD player and pushed the back button, but the same song started playing.
"Huh!? What the heck?" Hilde looked at the CD player from the back seat, confused.
"Just wait," Jenn said.
"Hey, this is the same song, but in Japanese!" Dorothy exclaimed, listening to the soft tune.
"Heero, isn't this song pretty?" Quatre asked, looking over at Heero, "Heero!!!!?"
"Huh?! What wrong!?" Relena turned around and looked at Heero with worry at Quatre's urgent voice, "w-what in the world?"
"What? What is it!?" Duo asked curiously, looking at Heero and then sweat dropping.
"Heero's lip syncing!" Hilde laughed, looking at what Heero was doing.
"Man, is that ooc or what!?" Dorothy said, laughing also.
"..." Heero stopped abruptly and glared at the occupants of the car, causing them all to stop laughing at his expense and to go back to whatever they were doing.
"Okay you guys, I need photo identification from you all," Jenn said, as they approached the gate to Bangor base.
"Um, I have my piloting ID, do you think that'll work? Quatre asked, pulling out his little white laminated card.
"Yeah sure, anything that can prove your identity will work," Jenn said, grabbing Quatre's ID.
Jennifer received pilot licences from Heero, Duo and Quatre and drivers licences from Relena, Dorothy and Hilde. When they got to the gate, they were pulled over to the side for a random check of the car. Jennifer groaned at her bad luck, and pulled into the checking center next to the front gate. She got out of the car and watched as Robin got clearance and waved her sign of pity at Jenn when she passed by. After a long and rather pointless check, everyone piled back into the car, and started to drive to Jenn's house.
"Hey, so this is your house?" Duo said, climbing out of the van
"Yup, it sure is!" Jenn said, unlocking the front door of her white with a blue trim house, "Come on in and make yourselves at home," Jenn welcomed the guys into her livingroom while the girls waited in the van.
"Nice place! I like your furniture," Duo said, flopping himself on one the squishy leather sofa's.
"My sisters aren't going to be home from school for another hour," Jenn said, reaching into a small cabinet, under the TV, in the entertainment system, "so, until then you guys can play on this!"
"What the hell is it onna!?" Wufei yelled, looking at the strange looking black box in Jennifer's lap.
"Oh my god, you guys have never seen a playstation 2 game counsel?" Jenn said, looking shocked.
"Playstation!!!! Where!?" Duo jumped at Jennifer and grabbed the playstation out of her lap.
"I should've guessed you would know what it is!" Jenn laughed, "Be careful with it please, that is my personal PS2."
"So what do you do with this PS2 thing?" Heero asked, pulling the PS2 away from Duo and inspecting it.
"You play games on it of coarse!" Duo yelled, trying to grab it back, but to no avail, "speaking of which, what games do you have for it?"
"Hmmm... I have Final Fantasy X, The Bouncer, Nascar Beat the Heat 2002, Dark Cloud, Shadows of Destiny, Jak and Daxter, and Ico," Jenn said, while counting off on her fingers, "But the I have playstation 1 games too, which are, Chrono Cross, Crono Trigger, Lunar II: Eternal Blue Complete, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, (you'd never guess she was a Final Fantasy fanatic, would you?) The Legend of Dragoon, and RPG Maker."
"Wow, that sounds like quite a collection," Quatre said, astonished.
"Yes it is," Trowa said, his mouth slightly agape.
"So, all the games are in here," Jenn said, gesturing to the cabinet she got the Playstation 2 from, "Don't let my sisters drive you insane, okay? Ja!"
As soon as Jennifer had left the house and closed the door, Duo jumped up and grabbed The Bouncer from the Cabinet, "Alright! Lets play! Who wants to be my first opponent,"
"..." No reply.
"Okay then, I'll just have to chose from all of you eager people, mmmm," Duo closed his eyes and waved his arm in the air. When he stopped, he pointed straight at Quatre and said, "Quatre buddy, you get to have the honor of being first."
"M-me?" Quatre pointed at himself, unsure, "B-but, I don't know how to play."
"That's alright, I'll teach you," Duo said, smiling wickedly behind Quatre's back.
(A/N: it just now occurred to me that some of you may not know what The Bouncer actually is, and while I'm not going to give you the full load down on the game, I'll give you the basics. The Bouncer is a game for the PS2 that involves a fighting game, but at the same time an RPG. In case any of you were wondering, the song Forevermore is the theme song to the Bouncer. Okay, now back to the story)
"Now look Quatre," Duo said, pointing at the screen of characters, "these are the people you can chose from, I'll be him." Duo clicked on the picture of a man and a voice automatically said "Kou Leifoh."
"Okay, I suppose I will be... this girl, she looks nice," Quatre clicked on the "nice looking" girl and the voice said, "Kaldea Orchid."
"Right, now the triangle button does high punches, the square button does mid attacks, the x button does low attacks, and the O button does jump attacks, got that?" Duo looked at Quatre, indicating to the buttons.
"Um, yeah, got it," Quatre nodded, looking at Duo's controller.
"The R1 button, that's the top, front, right button," Duo pointed to it, "are the blocking attacks, and the top front left button initiates the special moves when held down."
"Okay, I think I'm ready," Quatre said, looking at his controller.
"Ready, fight!"
Quatre, not being really familiar with the controller, mostly blocked until his shield ran out and Duo KO'ed him. In the Second round, Quatre initiated Kaldea's special attack and turned into a panther, which made a poor target for Duo's tall guy, letting Quatre get a couple of hits in, before Duo learned to use his special downwards drop kick, which finished Quatre off. The third round didn't run much differently, except that Quatre had turned from the defensive side to offensive, which gave Duo a run for his money, but in the end, Kou Leifoh came out the victor.
"Oi Quatre, good game buddy," Duo said, and gave Quatre a smile and a high five.
"Mm," Quatre nodded back, and got up from his spot on the floor to see what Trowa was reading.
"Okay, who's next?" Duo scanned the room.
Wufei was currently trying to get away from Jenn's black cat, for fear of getting cat hairs on his white pants. He was failing miserably though, considering the cat had seated herself on Wufei's lap and was purring. Trowa had found one of Jenn's many Inu-Yasha manga's and was reading it with slight interest. Quatre was looking over Trowa's shoulder, reading along, and occasionally he would inquire as to what was happening. Duo had almost given up on getting someone to play with him, when he spotted Heero just sitting and reading The Bouncer's players manual.
"Yo Heero," Heero glanced up from his reading and proceeded to glare at Duo, "Are you up to the challenge?" Duo held up the other controller.
Heero sat and glared at Duo for a few seconds, and when he realized the other boy wasn't going to relent, Heero got up from his seat and sat on the floor next to Duo.
"So, considering the fact that you were reading the players manual, I'm assuming you don't need me to explain how to play, right?" Duo asked, grinning at Heero.
"... let's just fight already," Heero said, looking at the character selection.
Duo picked his same character from the last time around, and after much consideration, Heero opted on picking a Kempo/street fighting style male named Sion Barzahd. (Oooh He's the Best!)
"Alright Heero, prepare to get your ass kicked!" Duo said, while advancing Kou towards Sion.
"..." Heero watched the screen intently, and blocked Duo's kicks.
"What's the matter Heero? Running scared already?" Duo laughed mockingly.
"..." Heero waited for an opening to attack, and then took Duo off guard by unleashing one of Sion's special moves, a donkey kick that knocked Kou onto the ground.
After Heero had caught Duo off guard and angered him, Duo began to lose his cool, and therefore, his moves became sloppy, giving Heero plenty of chances to attack. In the end, Heero won with quite a bit of life while Duo sulked.
Duo was about to challenge Heero to a rematch when the front door swung open, meeting the wall with a loud noise. The boys looked nervously to the door and saw two little girls, with backpacks on, walk through the door.
"JENN!!!!! WE'RE HOME!" the youngest girl with long blonde hair screeched at the top of her lungs.
"Jo-Jo, I don't think she's home," the oldest girl with the thin brown hair stated, unfazed by the others yelling.
"Are those Jenn's little sister?" Quatre asked Trowa, after uncovering his ears.
"Must be," the silent boy replied, a little amazed that such a small girl could scream so loud.
"Hm? Who are you?" the oldest girl asked, walking into the living room, followed by the youngest.
"We're your babysitters for today," Duo said, smiling.
"Where's Jen-Jen?" the youngest girl asked, looking at all the boys.
"Jen-Jen...? Oh, you must mean Jenn-san," Quatre said, sighing in relief that the little girl didn't scream again.
"She went to the mall with some of her other onna friends," Wufei said, looking skeptically at the girls.
"What are your names?" Heero asked, trying not to sound too cold.
"My name is Julie, and I'm in the first grade, and I am seven years old," the oldest said, all in one breath.
"He didn't ask you your entire status, he just asked you your name," Wufei scoffed.
"Wufei, be nice," Quatre scolded.
"Wuffy? What a stupid name!" Julie started to laugh and was soon joined by the youngest.
"How dare you, little onn..."
"Stop," Heero firmly made Wufei stop in his tracks, before he could inflict bodily harm to Julie or her sister.
"What about you blonde?" Duo asked, smiling at the youngest.
"I'm Jolene, J-o-l-e-n-e," the littlest said proudly.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, I'm Duo!"
"I am Quatre Rebarba Winner."
"Quatre Rerara Win- what!?" Julie looked at Quatre strangly.
"Just Quatre's fine."
"Trowa..." Trowa nodded his head to the little girls.
"WUFEI!" Wufei pronounced all the syllables in his name, to make sure they didn't say it wrong again.
"And I'm Heero," Heero said, staring at the girls.
"... I'm hungry!" Julie said after a moment of silence.
"Me too, me too!" Jolene screeched, making the boys wince slightly.
"Well, what to you get to eat?" Duo asked, following the girls into the kitchen.
"We get a snack," Julie said, pulling out a tube of Pringles.
"I want those Julie!" Jolene yelled, grabbing the tube.
"Get you own Jo!" Julie yelled, grabbing the tube back.
"Why don't you just share them?" Duo asked, sweat dropping.
"No! Mom bought these for me!" Julie yelled, pulling at the Pringles.
"Nu-uh!!!!"
"What's going on in here?" Quatre asked, walking into the kitchen.
"These are mine, but my stupid sister wont give them to me!" Julie yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Jolene.
"NU-UHHHH!" Jolene screamed again, causing an annoyed Heero to now walk into the kitchen.
"Alright, give me those!" Heero grabbed the pringles from the two girls and put the on the top shelf of the BC cabinet. (In my house, there's this closet in the kitchen called a BC closet. We didn't know what it was really called, but we use it as a snack cabinet and such) "There, now neither of you get them!" Heero walked out of the kitchen.
"Yeah right!" Julie said, sticking her tongue out at Heero's retreating figure, then proceeding to climb up the shelves.
As soon as she reached the top, she grabbed the Pringles and threw them down at Jolene. Jolene, who was making faces at Heero, didn't notice the tube of Pringles, and they landed on her head. Jolene screamed and dropped to the floor crying. Julie jumped down from the cabinet and made a mad rush for the bathroom down the hall, slamming the door shut and pretending to go to the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" Quatre asked, walking into the kitchen with his hands over his ears.
"Julie threw the Pringles at me Waaaaaaa," Jolene waled, sitting on the floor and pointing to the tube.
"Julie, come out of the bathroom please," Trowa said, knocking on the bathroom door.
"I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM!!!!" Julie yelled desperately on the other side of the door.
"No you're not onna! You're just trying to escape punishment!" Wufei yelled, banging on the door.
"I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM!" Julie yelled again, starting to cry.
"Man, I can tell this is going to be a long night," Duo sighed exasperated.
*~Meanwhile~*
"Do you think the boys are doing alright with your sister's Jenn?" Relena asked, from the dressing room next to Jenn.
"I don't know, it depends on how much child experience they have," Jenn said.
"Why?" Hilde asked.
"Oh, her sisters are terrible. I only visit her house once in a while, and I still can't stand them!" Becca exclaimed.
"They aren't that bad," Robin said, defending the girls slightly.
"Che, yeah right," Becca scoffed.
"Well, in any case, I'm sure the boys will be fine, I mean they are Gundam Pilots after all," Cathy said, coming out of her dressing room with the stack of clothes she was planning on buying.
"Yeah, I'm sure they've been through much worse," Dorothy said, also coming out with a stack of clothes.
"Hope your right..."
"You gotta jump there!" Jolene yelled at the tv screen.
"Shut-up onna! I know what I'm doing!" Wufei yelled at the girl, and pushed her head away from the screen.
After the boys had managed to get Jolene to stop crying and Julie out of the bathroom, they resumed in doing different activities. Wufei was currently playing Jak and Daxter on the PS2, and since Jolene had seen her sister play it many times in the past, she thought it her job to dictate to Wufei what to do. Wufei was obviously not enjoying this, and he kept on yelling at Jolene to shut-up. Julie had disappeared outside after she came out of the bathroom, and the boys hadn't seen her since. When Wufei told Jolene to go outside with Julie and to leave him alone, she screamed directly in his ear, "I DON'T HAVE TO!!!!!"
Duo was enjoying Wufei's distress and watched from the couch, laughing. Heero was typing on his laptop. He had some how tapped into the mall's security system and was keeping track of Relena. Trowa was putting together a puzzle that he had found on the bookshelf in the back. Quatre was sitting behind Trowa on the sofa, reading the Inu-Yasha manga and trying to understand it.
Everything went like this for about another ten minutes, until the front door swung open, making contact with the wall for the second time that day. The boys were expecting to see Julie, but when they looked up they were surprised to see a boy about the same age as Julie and a little girl with curly blonde hair that looked about Jolene's age.
"Hey Jo, what'cha doin'?" The little girl asked, walking over and sitting next to her.
"Watching Wufie play Jaks and Daxter," Jolene said, pointing at the scowling Wufei.
"It Wufei! And who the he..."
"Wufei don't!" Quatre cut Wufei off, "What's your name?"
"Ashleigh," the little girl said, smiling.
"And who's that Julie? Your boy friend?" Duo asked, looking slyly at Julie.
"No!" Julie turned a bright shade of red, "this is Andrew, Ashleigh's older brother."
"Hey, are you all Jenn's boyfriends?" Andrew asked, looking quizzically at the five boys.
"No, we're are her stand-in's for babysitting," Heero said, looking at Andrew.
"Whatever," Andrew said, looking at Julie.
"Come on, let's go upstairs to my room," Julie said, pulling Andrew upstairs, "we can play Barbies."
"Not with my Sailor Moon doll!" Jolene yelled, jumping up and running up the stairs, much to Wufei's relief.
"Um, bye," Ashleigh waved at the former pilots, specifically Quatre, and then following after Jolene.
"Looks like you've got a girlfriend," Duo snickered at Quatre, who was waving back.
"Oh give me a break, it was only because I was nice to her," Quatre scolded Duo.
Just then, the phone rang. Since nobody made a move to answer it, Heero begrudgingly set his laptop down and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Heero, is that you?" Jenn asked from the other line.
"Yea, what's up?" Heero asked.
"Oh, just calling to check up on you," Jenn said.
"Check-up on us? Why?" Heero asked.
"Well..."
"Yo Heero! Have the two demon children driven you crazy yet?" Becca cut Jenn off and hollered from the background.
"..."
"Heero, are you still there?"
"Yeah, they haven't driven us completely over the edge yet," Heero said, remembering the Pringles incident.
"Yet...? Well, what are they doing now?" Jenn asked, slightly nervous upon hearing the word, "yet".
"They're playing upstairs with Andrew and Ashlieigh,"Heero said, listening to the yelling and screaming from upstairs.
"Yo! Shut-up!" Duo yelled upstairs at them, and received a chorus on "NO's".
"Uh, can you put Julie on the phone?" Jenn asked, listening to Duo's cursing in the background after being blown off by a bunch of grade school kids.
"Sure, hang on," Heero put his hand over the receiver of the phone and asked Trowa to go get them, Trowa nodded and started up the stairs.
"While we're waiting, let me tell you what to make them for dinner," Jenn said, "there's a frozen pizza in the freezer, they can have that, and you guys too, cause it's a large pizza. Just follow the instructions on the box. They need to pick up their room and be in bed at 8:30 and the TV needs to be off by 9:00."
Heero nodded and confirmed that he understood his orders. Just as he was about to yell up at Trowa and tell him to hurry up, he saw Trowa walk in with Julie by the wrist. Julie reluctantly walked over to Heero and grabbed the phone away, causing Heero to glare.
"What do you want Jenn!?" Julie yelled into the phone.
"Don't yell at me you little brat, or I'll come home and smack you!" Jenn yelled straight back at Julie, making her shut-up, "Are you behaving for Heero and the guys?"
"Duh!" Julie yelled, "I'm just playing upstairs."
"Look you! You better make sure you clean up your room and make Andrew and Ashleigh help you, or you and Jolene are going to end up cleaning it alone."
"Whatever, is that all?" Julie yelled into the phone, while tapping her foot.
"Julie, I'm warning you! If I hear that you were bad from Heero, I'll tell mom and then you'll be in big trouble!" Jenn yelled, "and if I come home and find your room a mess, I'll wake you up and make you clean it! Got it!?"
"Fine, I will!!!!" Julie yelled and threw the phone at Heero, which he skillfully caught before it hit his face.
"Okay Heero, they should behave now, and if they don't you can just send them outside," Jenn said sweetly, "See ya later!"
"I don't understand these sisters at all," Heero sighed and hung up the phone.
A/N: Whoa! This has got to be the longest chapter so far! As you can see, the GW boys are having plenty of problems with the little sisters of Jennifer, but will it get better? Or will it get worse? You'll just have to read the next chapter to find out!
Disclaimer: Whoa! There are a lot of things I don't own in this story! So, instead of listing them all, I'll just say that I don't own any of the GW boys or girls, Any of the games I mentioned, or any of the songs. I just own the story and plot! Sayonara!
"Hey you guys! Over here!" Becca waved at the group of teenagers that were entering the parking lot.
"Hey," Heero replied, as they approached Jennifer.
"Hello, okay, so I can take six people with me and Robin can take four," Jenn said, counting on her fingers.
"Hm... I will ride in the van with you Jenn, if that's okay?" Relena said, smiling at Jenn.
Jenn nodded her head, "m'kay, who else?"
"Well, if Relena's going in the van, I'll go too!" Hilde said, "Duo, get your ass in here!" Hilde yelled from the back seat of the van.
"Uh, yes ma'am," Duo squeaked, climbing into the van also.
"I will also ride in the van Jenn," Quatre said, smiling and taking one of the pilot seats.
"Where the boss goes, I follow," Dorothy said, following Quatre and then taking the back seat next to Hilde.

"... fine," Heero walked over to the van and climbed into the Pilot seat near the door, and then shut the door.
"Okay Robin, that means you get Trowa, Catherine, and Wufei," Jenn said, waving to fuming Robin.
"Nani!? Why do I have to ride with this weak Onna!?" Wufei yelled, glaring at Robin.
"It's no picnic for me either buddy, just get in the car and shut up," Robin said, climbing into the car.
"I can tell this is going to be a very long five minute ride," Catherine sighed, climbing into the back seat, followed by a silent Trowa.
"Okay slick, we'll meet you at the mall as soon as we drop the guys off at my house," Jenn said, right before she left the parking lot.
"Roger that chief, meet you at the usual place," Becca replied, and started to drive off to the mall.
"Hey, you guys don't mind if I listen to some music do you?" Jenn asked the group, while pulling out a blank CD and putting it into the CD player.
"No, we probably won't be able to understand it anyway," Heero said, looking at Jenn's eyes through the rear view mirror.

"Yeah sure, anything that can prove your identity will work," Jenn said, grabbing Quatre's ID.
Jennifer received pilot licences from Heero, Duo and Quatre and drivers licences from Relena, Dorothy and Hilde. When they got to the gate, they were pulled over to the side for a random check of the car. Jennifer groaned at her bad luck, and pulled into the checking center next to the front gate. She got out of the car and watched as Robin got clearance and waved her sign of pity at Jenn when she passed by.

"Oh my god, you guys have never seen a playstation 2 game counsel?" Jenn said, looking shocked.

I have Final Fantasy X, The Bouncer, Nascar Beat the Heat 2002, Dark Cloud, Shadows of Destiny, Jak and Daxter, and Ico," Jenn said, while counting off on her fingers, "But the I have playstation 1 games too, which are, Chrono Cross, Crono Trigger, Lunar II: Eternal Blue Complete, Final Fantasy IV, Final Fantasy Tactics, Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy IX, (you'd never guess she was a Final Fantasy fanatic, would you?) The Legend of Dragoon, and RPG Maker."
"Wow, that sounds like quite a collection," Quatre said, astonished.
"Yes it is," Trowa said, his mouth slightly agape.
"So, all the games are in here," Jenn said, gesturing to the cabinet she got the Playstation 2 from, "Don't let my sisters drive you insane, okay? Ja!"
As soon as Jennifer had left the house and closed the door, Duo jumped up and grabbed The Bouncer from the Cabinet, "Alright! Lets play! Who wants to be my first opponent,"
"..." No reply.
"Okay then, I'll just have to chose from all of you eager people, mmmm," Duo closed his eyes and waved his arm in the air. When he stopped, he pointed straight at Quatre and said, "Quatre buddy, you get to have the honor of being first."
"M-me?" Quatre pointed at himself, unsure, "B-but, I don't know how to play."
"That's alright, I'll teach you," Duo said, smiling wickedly behind Quatre's back.
(A/N: it just now occurred to me that some of you may not know what The Bouncer actually is, and while I'm not going to give you the full load down on the game, I'll give you the basics. The Bouncer is a game for the PS2 that involves a fighting game, but at the same time an RPG. In case any of you were wondering, the song Forevermore is the theme song to the Bouncer. Okay, now back to the story)
"Now look Quatre," Duo said, pointing at the screen of characters, "these are the people you can chose from, I'll be him." Duo clicked on the picture of a man and a voice automatically said "Kou Leifoh."
"Okay, I suppose I will be... this girl, she looks nice," Quatre clicked on the "nice looking" girl and the voice said, "Kaldea Orchid."
"Right, now the triangle button does high punches, the square button does mid attacks, the x button does low attacks, and the O button does jump attacks, got that?" Duo looked at Quatre, indicating to the buttons.
"Um, yeah, got it," Quatre nodded, looking at Duo's controller.
"The R1 button, that's the top, front, right button," Duo pointed to it, "are the blocking attacks, and the top front left button initiates the special moves when held down."
"Okay, I think I'm ready," Quatre said, looking at his controller.
"Ready, fight!"
Quatre, not being really familiar with the controller, mostly blocked until his shield ran out and Duo KO'ed him. In the Second round, Quatre initiated Kaldea's special attack and turned into a panther, which made a poor target for Duo's tall guy, letting Quatre get a couple of hits in, before Duo learned to use his special downwards drop kick, which finished Quatre off. The third round didn't run much differently, except that Quatre had turned from the defensive side to offensive, which gave Duo a run for his money, but in the end, Kou Leifoh came out the victor.
"Oi Quatre, good game buddy," Duo said, and gave Quatre a smile and a high five.
"Mm," Quatre nodded back, and got up from his spot on the floor to see what Trowa was reading.
"Okay, who's next?" Duo scanned the room.
Wufei was currently trying to get away from Jenn's black cat, for fear of getting cat hairs on his white pants. He was failing miserably though, considering the cat had seated herself on Wufei's lap and was purring. Trowa had found one of Jenn's many Inu-Yasha manga's and was reading it with slight interest. Quatre was looking over Trowa's shoulder, reading along, and occasionally he would inquire as to what was happening. Duo had almost given up on getting someone to play with him, when he spotted Heero just sitting and reading The Bouncer's players manual.
"Yo Heero," Heero glanced up from his reading and proceeded to glare at Duo, "Are you up to the challenge?" Duo held up the other controller.
Heero sat and glared at Duo for a few seconds, and when he realized the other boy wasn't going to relent, Heero got up from his seat and sat on the floor next to Duo.
"So, considering the fact that you were reading the players manual, I'm assuming you don't need me to explain how to play, right?" Duo asked, grinning at Heero.
"... let's just fight already," Heero said, looking at the character selection.
Duo picked his same character from the last time around, and after much consideration, Heero opted on picking a Kempo/street fighting style male named Sion Barzahd. (Oooh He's the Best!)
"Alright Heero, prepare to get your ass kicked!" Duo said, while advancing Kou towards Sion.
"..." Heero watched the screen intently, and blocked Duo's kicks.
"What's the matter Heero? Running scared already?" Duo laughed mockingly.
"..." Heero waited for an opening to attack, and then took Duo off guard by unleashing one of Sion's special moves, a donkey kick that knocked Kou onto the ground.
After Heero had caught Duo off guard and angered him, Duo began to lose his cool, and therefore, his moves became sloppy, giving Heero plenty of chances to attack. In the end, Heero won with quite a bit of life while Duo sulked.
Duo was about to challenge Heero to a rematch when the front door swung open, meeting the wall with a loud noise. The boys looked nervously to the door and saw two little girls, with backpacks on, walk through the door.
"JENN!!!!! WE'RE HOME!" the youngest girl with long blonde hair screeched at the top of her lungs.
"Jo-Jo, I don't think she's home," the oldest girl with the thin brown hair stated, unfazed by the others yelling.
"Are those Jenn's little sister?" Quatre asked Trowa, after uncovering his ears.
"Must be," the silent boy replied, a little amazed that such a small girl could scream so loud.
"Hm? Who are you?" the oldest girl asked, walking into the living room, followed by the youngest.
"We're your babysitters for today," Duo said, smiling.
"Where's Jen-Jen?" the youngest girl asked, looking at all the boys.
"Jen-Jen...? Oh, you must mean Jenn-san," Quatre said, sighing in relief that the little girl didn't scream again.
"She went to the mall with some of her other onna friends," Wufei said, looking skeptically at the girls.
"What are your names?" Heero asked, trying not to sound too cold.
"My name is Julie, and I'm in the first grade, and I am seven years old," the oldest said, all in one breath.
"He didn't ask you your entire status, he just asked you your name," Wufei scoffed.
"Wufei, be nice," Quatre scolded.
"Wuffy? What a stupid name!" Julie started to laugh and was soon joined by the youngest.
"How dare you, little onn..."
"Stop," Heero firmly made Wufei stop in his tracks, before he could inflict bodily harm to Julie or her sister.
"What about you blonde?" Duo asked, smiling at the youngest.
"I'm Jolene, J-o-l-e-n-e," the littlest said proudly.
"Well, it's nice to meet you, I'm Duo!"
"I am Quatre Rebarba Winner."
"Quatre Rerara Win- what!?" Julie looked at Quatre strangly.
"Just Quatre's fine."
"Trowa..." Trowa nodded his head to the little girls.
"WUFEI!" Wufei pronounced all the syllables in his name, to make sure they didn't say it wrong again.
"And I'm Heero," Heero said, staring at the girls.
"... I'm hungry!" Julie said after a moment of silence.
"Me too, me too!" Jolene screeched, making the boys wince slightly.
"Well, what to you get to eat?" Duo asked, following the girls into the kitchen.
"We get a snack," Julie said, pulling out a tube of Pringles.
"I want those Julie!" Jolene yelled, grabbing the tube.
"Get you own Jo!" Julie yelled, grabbing the tube back.
"Why don't you just share them?" Duo asked, sweat dropping.
"No! Mom bought these for me!" Julie yelled, pulling at the Pringles.
"Nu-uh!!!!"
"What's going on in here?" Quatre asked, walking into the kitchen.
"These are mine, but my stupid sister wont give them to me!" Julie yelled, pointing an accusing finger at Jolene.
"NU-UHHHH!" Jolene screamed again, causing an annoyed Heero to now walk into the kitchen.
"Alright, give me those!" Heero grabbed the pringles from the two girls and put the on the top shelf of the BC cabinet. (In my house, there's this closet in the kitchen called a BC closet. We didn't know what it was really called, but we use it as a snack cabinet and such) "There, now neither of you get them!" Heero walked out of the kitchen.
"Yeah right!" Julie said, sticking her tongue out at Heero's retreating figure, then proceeding to climb up the shelves.
As soon as she reached the top, she grabbed the Pringles and threw them down at Jolene. Jolene, who was making faces at Heero, didn't notice the tube of Pringles, and they landed on her head. Jolene screamed and dropped to the floor crying. Julie jumped down from the cabinet and made a mad rush for the bathroom down the hall, slamming the door shut and pretending to go to the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" Quatre asked, walking into the kitchen with his hands over his ears.
"Julie threw the Pringles at me Waaaaaaa," Jolene waled, sitting on the floor and pointing to the tube.
"Julie, come out of the bathroom please," Trowa said, knocking on the bathroom door.
"I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM!!!!" Julie yelled desperately on the other side of the door.
"No you're not onna! You're just trying to escape punishment!" Wufei yelled, banging on the door.
"I'M GOING TO THE BATHROOM!" Julie yelled again, starting to cry.
"Man, I can tell this is going to be a long night," Duo sighed exasperated.
*~Meanwhile~*
"Do you think the boys are doing alright with your sister's Jenn?" Relena asked, from the dressing room next to Jenn.
"I don't know, it depends on how much child experience they have," Jenn said.
"Why?" Hilde asked.
"Oh, her sisters are terrible. I only visit her house once in a while, and I still can't stand them!" Becca exclaimed.
"They aren't that bad," Robin said, defending the girls slightly.
"Che, yeah right," Becca scoffed.
"Well, in any case, I'm sure the boys will be fine, I mean they are Gundam Pilots after all," Cathy said, coming out of her dressing room with the stack of clothes she was planning on buying.
"Yeah, I'm sure they've been through much worse," Dorothy said, also coming out with a stack of clothes.
"Hope your right..."
"You gotta jump there!" Jolene yelled at the tv screen.
"Shut-up onna! I know what I'm doing!" Wufei yelled at the girl, and pushed her head away from the screen.
After the boys had managed to get Jolene to stop crying and Julie out of the bathroom, they resumed in doing different activities. Wufei was currently playing Jak and Daxter on the PS2, and since Jolene had seen her sister play it many times in the past, she thought it her job to dictate to Wufei what to do. Wufei was obviously not enjoying this, and he kept on yelling at Jolene to shut-up. Julie had disappeared outside after she came out of the bathroom, and the boys hadn't seen her since. When Wufei told Jolene to go outside with Julie and to leave him alone, she screamed directly in his ear, "I DON'T HAVE TO!!!!!"
Duo was enjoying Wufei's distress and watched from the couch, laughing. Heero was typing on his laptop. He had some how tapped into the mall's security system and was keeping track of Relena. Trowa was putting together a puzzle that he had found on the bookshelf in the back. Quatre was sitting behind Trowa on the sofa, reading the Inu-Yasha manga and trying to understand it.
Everything went like this for about another ten minutes, until the front door swung open, making contact with the wall for the second time that day. The boys were expecting to see Julie, but when they looked up they were surprised to see a boy about the same age as Julie and a little girl with curly blonde hair that looked about Jolene's age.
"Hey Jo, what'cha doin'?" The little girl asked, walking over and sitting next to her.
"Watching Wufie play Jaks and Daxter," Jolene said, pointing at the scowling Wufei.
"It Wufei! And who the he..."
"Wufei don't!" Quatre cut Wufei off, "What's your name?"
"Ashleigh," the little girl said, smiling.
"And who's that Julie? Your boy friend?" Duo asked, looking slyly at Julie.
"No!" Julie turned a bright shade of red, "this is Andrew, Ashleigh's older brother."
"Hey, are you all Jenn's boyfriends?" Andrew asked, looking quizzically at the five boys.
"No, we're are her stand-in's for babysitting," Heero said, looking at Andrew.
"Whatever," Andrew said, looking at Julie.
"Come on, let's go upstairs to my room," Julie said, pulling Andrew upstairs, "we can play Barbies."
"Not with my Sailor Moon doll!" Jolene yelled, jumping up and running up the stairs, much to Wufei's relief.
"Um, bye," Ashleigh waved at the former pilots, specifically Quatre, and then following after Jolene.
"Looks like you've got a girlfriend," Duo snickered at Quatre, who was waving back.
"Oh give me a break, it was only because I was nice to her," Quatre scolded Duo.
Just then, the phone rang. Since nobody made a move to answer it, Heero begrudgingly set his laptop down and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Heero, is that you?" Jenn asked from the other line.
"Yea, what's up?" Heero asked.
"Oh, just calling to check up on you," Jenn said.
"Check-up on us? Why?" Heero asked.
"Well..."
"Yo Heero! Have the two demon children driven you crazy yet?" Becca cut Jenn off and hollered from the background.
"..."
"Heero, are you still there?"
"Yeah, they haven't driven us completely over the edge yet," Heero said, remembering the Pringles incident.
"Yet...? Well, what are they doing now?" Jenn asked, slightly nervous upon hearing the word, "yet".
"They're playing upstairs with Andrew and Ashlieigh,"Heero said, listening to the yelling and screaming from upstairs.
"Yo! Shut-up!" Duo yelled upstairs at them, and received a chorus on "NO's".
"Uh, can you put Julie on the phone?" Jenn asked, listening to Duo's cursing in the background after being blown off by a bunch of grade school kids.
"Sure, hang on," Heero put his hand over the receiver of the phone and asked Trowa to go get them, Trowa nodded and started up the stairs.
"While we're waiting, let me tell you what to make them for dinner," Jenn said, "there's a frozen pizza in the freezer, they can have that, and you guys too, cause it's a large pizza. Just follow the instructions on the box. They need to pick up their room and be in bed at 8:30 and the TV needs to be off by 9:00."
Heero nodded and confirmed that he understood his orders. Just as he was about to yell up at Trowa and tell him to hurry up, he saw Trowa walk in with Julie by the wrist. Julie reluctantly walked over to Heero and grabbed the phone away, causing Heero to glare.
"What do you want Jenn!?" Julie yelled into the phone.
"Don't yell at me you little brat, or I'll come home and smack you!" Jenn yelled straight back at Julie, making her shut-up, "Are you behaving for Heero and the guys?"
"Duh!" Julie yelled, "I'm just playing upstairs."
"Look you! You better make sure you clean up your room and make Andrew and Ashleigh help you, or you and Jolene are going to end up cleaning it alone."
"Whatever, is that all?" Julie yelled into the phone, while tapping her foot.
"Julie, I'm warning you! If I hear that you were bad from Heero, I'll tell mom and then you'll be in big trouble!" Jenn yelled, "and if I come home and find your room a mess, I'll wake you up and make you clean it! Got it!?"
"Fine, I will!!!!" Julie yelled and threw the phone at Heero, which he skillfully caught before it hit his face.
"Okay Heero, they should behave now, and if they don't you can just send them outside," Jenn said sweetly, "See ya later!"
"I don't understand these sisters at all," Heero sighed and hung up the phone.
A/N: Whoa! This has got to be the longest chapter so far! As you can see, the GW boys are having plenty of problems with the little sisters of Jennifer, but will it get better? Or will it get worse? You'll just have to read the next chapter to find out!
Disclaimer: Whoa! There are a lot of things I don't own in this story! So, instead of listing them all, I'll just say that I don't own any of the GW boys or girls, Any of the games I mentioned, or any of the songs. I just own the story and plot! Sayonara!
