You asked for it. You kept asking. More chapters, more chapters. And I say I post one chapter once a week. Which would you rather have? All chapters posted at once and a 3 week gap between chapters orconsistency? Don't answer that. Anyway to get to the point I have decided to treat everyone. There will be a brief intermission starring the ...not-so-legendary Speedy the Hampster! Yes the legendary story of Speedy from Chapter 10. This is like a short flick and it DOES NOT go with the current story at all. So with that said...on with the show!
Warning: Contains a slightly morbid sense of humor. No hampsters were harmed in the making of this fic.

"Merry Christmas!"
Heero looked in the box, appearing not all too amused with his gift. When Duo had insisted on having a christmas party, Heero had gone along just to make him shut up. Now he wasn't very sure if it was that good of an idea. "What is it?"
Heero pulled the gift out of it's box to get a better look. It was soft, furry and gold, about the size of a fist with tiny bucked teeth and no tail. Wufei offered his own idea of what the gift was. "It's a rat."
Trowa looked at Wufei. "Rats have tails."
"It's a tailless rat."
Duo grinned. "It's a hamster!"
"Same thing."
The hamster was not all toothrilled about being held and it's squeeling had turned into biting through Heero's hand, making him cry out and let go. "Ow!"
He immediatly drew his gun, prepared to shoot the vile creature. Quatre intervened, grabbing Heero's arm and moving his aim away from the hampster. "No you can't shoot it!"
"Why not?"
"It's a living thing."
Heero just stared at Quatre unblinking. "Your point being?"
Duo grinned. "His name is Speedy."
Heero scowled as he lay in bed, eyes wide open as he listened to that damn hampster on his squeeky wheel. It just wouldn't stop, just kept going and going like the energizer bunny. Damnit he wanted to get some sleep. Heero scowled and reached under his pillow like a man possessed, moving slowly as he focused on the critter.
The gunshot rung throughout the mansion as the pilots came running into the room. When they came upon the scene Quatre screamed. Duo smirked in amusement and both Wufei and Trowa remained silent. Heero had finally shot the poor rodent after only a week and was still holding the smoking gun. A tear welled up inside Quatre's eyes. "Poor Speedy."
Trowa looked at the critter. "You killed it."
Wufei grumbled. "Wish I'd thought of that."
Duo just started laughing. They all looked at Duo like he had gone nuts, which might have been the case. Finally Trowa spoke. "What's so funny?"
"I'm sorry, it's just that something that small could annoy Heero so much..it's just....it's just....hahahahaha!" He wiped the hysterical tears from his face and with effort regained his composure, still smirking slightly at every other word. "Okay, I think we should get rid of the body."
Heero rolled his eyes. "Let's just flush it down the toilet and get it over with."
Quatre shook his head. "No! It deserves a decent burial."
Duo blinked. "What you mean a shoebox?"
"I mean a funeral. With a casket."
Duo smiled. "Right Quatre, I'll take care of it."
An hour later the five pilots stood gathered around a two foot deep hole in the backyard. The ground was frozen and neither wanted to waste more time on digging so deep for a hampster. The only reason they even got to 2 feet was with Quatre's insistence. Duo then layed an old shoebox next to the grave and folded his hands. "We're here to honor Sparky."
"Speedy." Quatre corrected.
"Right...Speedy. Speedy lived a full life."
"He lived a week."
"I'm not done. Speedy lived a full life considering his company and never gave up on his cherished squeeky wheel. We....Those among us will miss him dearly. Okay lower the box."
Wufei nodded and kicked the shoebox into the grave, which only served to upset Quatre further. Duo looked at Heero. "Next time I'm getting you a turtle."
Heero looked at his friend. "Don't even think about it."
Trowa nodded. "Learn your lessen. Heero is not good with pets."
Duo nodded. "Okay fine. Actually I was going to suggest sea monkeys."
"You couldn't even keep Sea Monkeys alive Duo."
"Only because Heero tried to serve it up as soup."
"And you still think he can take care of animals?"
"Hmm. Good point. Tell you what. Next year we all pitch in and get him a winter coat."
