Dark Ice ~ So, how's my work so far?
Wufei ~ We've told you before, it stinks.
Dark Ice ~ (cracks him over the head with a computer mouse) I wasn't asking for your opinion!
Wufei ~ @.@ (raises katana in ready position) I'm not going to be defeated by an onna with a mouse! I'll defeat you, all three of you! (wobbles unsteadily)
Dark Ice ~ Sure, you keep believing that, Chang. (pats his head and he keels over)
^_^ Yay! I K.O.ed Wufei! Oh well...
Dark Ice ~ Just wanna say thanks for your great reviews. Kudos to Angel Tsuiraku and shi oni. And a big huggles for Relwarc for being so harsh with me. I needed it. ^_^
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or anything related to it. There. I've said it. Oh and by the way...I don't update very often. Maybe every weekend, or something, minimum. Maximum time for next update? Maybe two months. Just wanted to let you know ahead of time. And another thing. I'm having difficulties with figuring out the formatting thingies, so I'm really sorry if this looks kinda weird.
And one more thing: I'm probably gonna be writing this fic whenever I'm moody, so most likely it's gonna be a PWP. (Plot? What plot?) 'Kay?
And a last thing: This story has no shounen-ai. Or yaoi. None! It's all in your heads!
Now on with the story!

Chapter 1: Blame it on the door
Wufei woke up with a start, shaking and breathing hard. Outside, lightning flashed and thunder boomed.
He tried to calm his ragged breaths and suppress the lingering memories of his dream. I will not be weakened by a childish nightmare! Wufei thought fiercely. He looked out the window beside his bed. Outside, the storm raged on; sheets of windblown rain came pouring down; the wind howled and shook the trees; lighting and thunder clashed. That's some storm.
Wufei rolled over to check the clock on the bedside table. "Great," he muttered. "It's only 01:47."
Another flash of lightning revealed to Wufei that someone else was awake.
"Heero? I thought you were asleep."
"Hn. I couldn't sleep." Heero propped himself up on one elbow. He looked across the room in the direction of Wufei's bed. "What made you wake up so suddenly?"
"Uh...nothing. It was just the thunder."
Heero raised an eyebrow. That was uncharacteristic of Wufei. He never contradicted himself. He must be hiding something from me, Heero thought, as he watched Wufei getting out of bed. "Where are you going?"
"I need to get something to drink." Wufei paused, as he was about to turn the doorknob. He looked over to Heero. "Do you want anything from the kitchen?"
Heero glared in the dark at him. "What do you think you're doing? You know that door creaks, and Duo's bed is right beside the doorway. We don't need that baka causing havoc at this time of the night."
Wufei brushed aside Heero's warning, and continued to open the door. "It couldn't be that loud...I haven't heard it creak all day-"
CRREEEAAKK!!!
Duo was immediately jolted awake by the sudden noise. Unfortunately, his sudden movement caused him to bounce right off the bed. [1]
"Who wha-? Whoa-AHHHHH!!!"
"Maxwell! Let me go! *oof*"
*FWUMP*
*CRASH*
"Ow."
Trowa came running in from the room across the hall. "What's going on in here?" He felt around for the light switch on the wall, and flipped the lights on. He froze. "Uhh..."
He could do nothing but stare at the tangled mess of chaos at his feet. Duo was on the floor, struggling to untangle himself from the jumble of blankets, sheets, and pillows. Beneath Duo, Wufei was on his stomach, trying to escape from the combined weight of Duo moving around and the bedding. Apparently Duo had managed to knock over Wufei and land on him instead of directly hitting the floor. And Wufei wasn't the only one Duo had managed to bring down with him. Scattered around him were Wufei's katanas, a nearby chair, a desk lamp, a phone, a few floppy disks, and Heero's laptop.
"Duo, get off!" With a final shove, Wufei got out of the Duo and bedding mess. Trowa helped him up and carefully led him through the chaos, back to Wufei's bed.
Duo staggered out of the bedding cocoon and flopped back onto his bed. He tried to make sense of what had just happened. But it was too early in the morning for any coherent thoughts, so when he tried to put two and two together, he only came up with three. He shrugged and gave up, immediately falling back asleep.
"Who's causing all the commotion?" groaned Quatre from the doorway. All this noise wasn't helping the burning fever in his head.
Heero continued to glare at Wufei. "Now what were you saying about the creak not being that loud? And nice job, Wufei. You managed to wake everyone up."
Wufei's head snapped up from examining his bruises. He gazed at the door, as if he was going to grab his katana and reduce the door into a pile of matchsticks.
Trowa picked his way back to the doorway and helped Quatre over to the edge of Duo's bed, where they both sat down. The slight shift of his mattress woke Duo up again. He bolted up.
"Whadja wake me up for?! I was having a dream 'bout me and Hilde, and we were...uhh..."
Heero fixed his glare at Duo.
"...were...and...uh...never mind."
Quatre looked over to Wufei. "Well?" he prompted. "Why all the noise?"
"I-I...the thunder just woke me up," repeated Wufei lamely. "Then I wanted to get a drink from the kitchen, but that DOOR made an incessantly loud sound causing Duo to wake up and create havoc."
"Blame it on me, wouldja!" Duo shot back. "I'm not the one who woke up because of a little thunder! I mean really," Duo continued on mockingly, "The Great Mr. Justice-pants Wufei, afraid of a little thun-eep!!" Duo scrambled under the covers at the sound of crashing thunder. Everyone else just smirked at the trembling Shinigami.
Quatre turned back to Wufei. "So? Come on Wufei. We all know that isn't the reason why you woke up. 'Fess up."
Wufei fiddled with his bedsheets. "I...I had this...dream," he slowly began.
"Yeah? And what was in this dream?" asked Trowa.
"It was so...peaceful..." Wufei paused. He took another breath and continued. "I was sitting a table, and there was this huge bowl of delicious-looking long-grain rice."
Quatre's head was resting against Trowa's shoulder, much to Duo's amusement. "Hmm...sounds nice enough," mumbled Quatre drowsily. His fever was getting the better of him.
"I-I was about to take a bite, but then, all of a sudden, the rice turned into broccoli!"
Everyone looked up when they heard a sniffle.
Duo felt kinda bad about laughing at Wufei. "Hey Wu-man...are you okay? There's nothing to be ashamed about being afraid of broccoli."
Wufei quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his p.j. sleeve. "I'm perfectly fine! Why, do you think I'm crying?! Why would I be *hic* cr-crying?!" He tried to compose himself by keeping his tears in but that completely backfired. He ended up hiccupping more and the tears that were gathering in his eyes were stinging his eyes. [2] The rest of the G-boys looked helplessly at one another. Then Wufei, who'd actually managed to stop crying, got up and headed for the doorway again.
"Where are you going this time?" growled Heero, but in a lighter tone than he usually would use. He didn't want Wufei to get all upset again and getting blamed for it, but the Chinese teen was getting on his nerves.
"INJUSTICE! You have no right to question where I am going!" Wufei snapped. Everyone else just stared blankly at him. His face went red and he looked down at his slippered feet. "Sorry, Heero. I'm just going to the kitchen, like I said before."
"Did he say 'kitchen'?" Duo jumped out of bed over Quatre and Trowa. "You mean the place where food can normally be found?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm coming too!" Duo followed Wufei into the hallway and down the stairs. Mwahahaha, Duo laughed evilly to himself.
Sugar! Must. Have. Sugar!
Hidden in the shadows, several dark figures followed close behind the unsuspecting snackers...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
[1] I've done that once. It was extremely painful and surprising for me and the person who woke me up (my sister). Fortunately, I didn't knock anything over or break anything.
[2] This always happens whenever I cry or try to stop crying. I make these ridiculously loud hiccups that you can hear from a kilometre away and my eyes are stinging like crazy. Some people say that crying is good for you, that it relieves stress. Well, I say it hurts! A lot!
Wufei ~ ONNA!
Dark Ice ~ (sweetly) Yes, Wufei?
Wufei ~ THIS IS AN INJUSTICE!! YOU MADE ME CRY!!!
Dark Ice ~ Awww...ikkle Wuffie was crying. Kawaii! ^_^
G-boys ~ -__-U
Dark Ice ~ Oh come on you guys! Yeesh. (mutters to self) You wouldn't know something cute if it hit you in the face.
Trowa ~ .....
Dark Ice ~ Yeah, I know Tro. It's just that I can't think of longer parts for you and Quat-man here. I guess for now, the two of you will have to be minor characters. Sorry! I promise, one of these days, I'm gonna write a fic with you two as the main characters, 'kay?
Quatre ~ *sigh* All right.
Dark Ice ~ Oh yeah... umm maybe there is a hint, just a little smidgen of yaoi. But no shounen-ai!
Heero ~ I'll finish this off now-
Duo ~ Hey! It's my turn!
Heero ~ -__-U
Duo ~ Now that you've read this, please review! Fly away, and be FREE!
Everyone, excluding Duo ~ o.O
Wufei ~ We've told you before, it stinks.
