Kingdom Gundam: Chapter Twenty-Two

~Back in Traverse Town~

Wufei skipped, merrily ahead of the group.

You thought I was annoying? Duo asked Trowa. Timothy had fallen asleep, so Trowa was carrying him.

I never knew Wufei to be so lively, Trowa agreed, with a yawn.

Hello, Cid! Wufei yelled, waving in Cid's face.

Whoa! What's gotten into you?! Cid asked, totally bewildered. Wufei giggled.

I just ate eighty pounds of fudge and I'm extremely hyper!!!! He yelled, bouncing off to Geppetto's house. A few seconds later, Trowa and the others walked by.

Hey Cid, Duo said, with a slight wave. We'll talk in the morning.

Okay, but your friend-

Wufei will be okay, Trowa said, with another yawn. If he bounces by, tell him we're at the inn. Cid nodded, watching them disappear into the second district.

So, I told them that Smokey will be okay, since she's smaller than us, Wufei said, talking really fast. I pulled Deorwin along and then I noticed that Smokey was killing Oogie Boogie, so I got under him, just in case. Suddenly, the platform raised and I slashed and slashed and slashed-

Geppetto said, interrupting. Can't you see that we were trying to sleep?

Wufei said. Then he smiled and giggled. See you later then! Wufei bounced away.

~In the Inn~

Trowa tucked Timothy in beside him. Trowa laid himself down and instantly went to sleep.

Duo laid, staring at the ceiling. He thought he was tired, yet he felt a little uneasy.

Quatre's lost his heart, he said, quietly. I wonder if we'll be able to find it. I hope we can. I don't think any of us will be able to live with ourselves, if we lose Quatre. He turned to his side, then sat straight up. Someone was outside his door, hissing. Duo slowly stood and went to the door. He quickly opened it. The person giggled. Duo sighed. Wufei, give me the spray paint.

No, it's my precious, Wufei said, running off. It's mine!

Duo yelled. Wufei's giggle echoed back. Duo sighed and shook his head. Stay out of trouble! Duo yelled.

Shut up! came an angry voice. People are trying to sleep!

came another angry voice.

Shut up, Yuffie!

Don't make me do something to you, Squall!

It's Leon! Duo sighed, again, then retired back in his room.

~Third District~

Wufei's spray can stopped. He had blanketed the whole town in graffiti.

Nooooooooo! My precious is dead! Wufei yelled, shaking the can, ferociously. He threw the can up against the wall. He started to bounce up and down, angrily. He suddenly said, smelling it. He ran towards the smell.

~Next day~

Trowa woke up with a jolt. There was a guinea pig on his chest, her rear end was in his face.

Trowa said.

Smokey asked, turning around.

Get off.

Trowa was getting irritated.

Get off of me.

Trowa grabbed Smokey and started to shake her.

When I say to get off of me, I mean it! Trowa yelled.

What are you doing? a voice asked. Trowa looked. There was Deorwin. Trowa threw Smokey out the window. Smokey screamed. Deorwin suddenly turned dark. Trowa, where is my Smokey?! he asked, in a deep tone of voice.

She went sky diving, Trowa said, nervously. Deorwin suddenly jumped on the bed, enraged.

Duo opened his eyes, slowly, then saw strings. He sat up.

Oh no. Wufei has been in here, Duo sighed, standing and trying to weave himself through the strings. Suddenly, he hit one, and a bucket of pink dye fell on his head.

~Somewhere~

Wufei slowly woke up. He was sleeping on an island, with a deserted house on it. He tried to remember what happened last. All he could remember was fudge.

You've caused quite a ruckus, young man, said a voice behind him.

Wufei looked.

No, not quite, Merlin said. I'm Merlin. Unlike Gandalf, I live backwards in time. You should be ashamed of yourself, for ruining Traverse Town like you did.

I did?

Of course, you were on a sugar high, and that magical fudge I fed you has a side effect to make you forget things. Suddenly, the Fairy Godmother appeared.

I just finished cleaning up the graffiti, she said. Next time, you're going to do the second district!

Merlin sighed.

So, where am I? And how did I get here? Wufei asked.

We'll explain everything. Come inside.

~In the hotel~

Duo came out of the room, multicolored. Several eggs were splattered on him.

I'm going to kill Wufei, he muttered, walking towards the bathroom. He went in and undressed. He turned on the water and jumped in.

screamed a voice. Abandon ship! Abandon ship! I'm not supposed to get wet!

Duo looked down, then jumped. There was Smokey. What are you doing in here?

she asked, looking up. Suddenly, she screamed and somehow jumped out.

That was strange, Duo said.

Deorwin, Deorwin, Timothy said, separating Trowa and Deorwin. It'll be okay. See? There goes Smokey, he said, pointing.

Deorwin asked. He looked; she came out of the bathroom, soaked. Whoever did that will pay! Deorwin went in the bathroom and saw Duo's clothes. Deorwin smiled evilly and took Duo's clothes.

~In the Mystical House~

You somehow were able to smell the fudge as I was cooking it, Merlin said. I do all the cooking around here, since Miss Bibbity, Boppity Boo can't do it!

What is that supposed to mean, Merlin? Fairy Godmother demanded. I have you know, you're cooking far passes mine, but we all know who's magic passes who!

Madam, I have no idea what you're talking about! All of it is blasphemous!

Take that back!

No, I can't lie. Wufei sighed, shaking his head.

They're like Duo and me, he said. He stood. You know what? he said. I think we should sit down, with a cup of hot chocolate and discuss this like adults.

I agree, Merlin said, about to change her into a witch.

So do I, Fairy Godmother said, about to change Merlin into a pumpkin. A table appeared, with cups of hot chocolate on it. Wufei quickly sat at his spot and started drinking the chocolate.

Hollow Baston is very dangerous, Merlin said.

Yes, very! Fairy Godmother agreed. All of the six princess' of heart were taken there. I've heard that it was supposed to be seven pure hearts to open the keyhole to darkness. Wufei spit his hot chocolate out.

Seven pure hearts? Wufei asked. Merlin and Fairy Godmother looked at him, strangely.

Yes. Why? Do you think you know who the seventh is? Wufei looked down at his cup.

Yes, but he doesn't have a heart, Wufei said.



~Back at the Inn~

Duo said, peeking out of the door. Have you seen my clothes?

Trowa said. But Hilde did pack you an extra pair. Duo let out a sigh of relief.

Trowa, you're a life saver. If it weren't for the girls, we'd be toast.

You'd be toast, Trowa said, taking a suitcase out from under the bed. I'm perfectly fine without Catherine. He threw Duo's clothes to him.

Aw, you don't mean that, Duo said, shutting the door.

Yes I do, Trowa said, putting the suitcase back under the bed. I mean, yeah, she's my big sister, but she treats me like I'm two. I'm not two! I'm seventeen, and I expect to be treated like I'm seventeen.

Try explaining to her, Duo said.

Yeah, that's how my mom treats me, Timothy said. That's why I'm so limited to what music I listen to and what video games I can get. All my friends can listen to what they want, not having parental controls on the internet, get rated M' games for the PS2, but I can't.

Trowa said. Your mom just wants to protect you from bad things. Catherine is, well, different. She's my sister-

Then maybe she wants to protect you, too, Timothy interrupted, standing and walking towards the door. I'm going to look for Wufei, okay?

Don't wander far from the hotel, Trowa said, laying down on the bed. Timothy left. Then, there was a knock at the balcony door. Trowa sat up. The person knocked again.

Trowa? Duo? Timothy? It's me, Wufei! Open up! said the person. Trowa opened the door. Wufei came in, breezing by Trowa. We have to go to Hollow Baston. Quatre's in trouble, he said. Where's Duo and Timothy?

What's going on? Trowa asked.

Maleficent is gathering the princess' of heart to open the portal to darkness, Wufei explained. She has all six. All she needs is Quatre's heart and the universe will be flooded with darkness.

Wait, Quatre? Is he a prince of heart? Trowa asked.

Wufei said, with a nod. Suddenly, Duo came out of the bathroom.

Duo yelled, jumping on Wufei's back. He pinned Wufei down. Why, I should kill you!

What are you talking about? Wufei asked, sounding annoyed.

You put strings up in my room last night, to trigger traps on me!

No I didn't!

Yes you did! Timothy came in, right at that moment. He looked confused.

Timothy asked. What are you doing?

Admit it, Wufei, you set traps in my room while I was sleeping.

Why would I do that?! Wufei yelled.

Timothy said. Wufei didn't do it.



Deorwin did. I saw him leave your room late last night. Duo looked embarrassed.

he got off of Wufei. Heh heh, sorry. You were on a sugar high-

It doesn't matter, Wufei snapped. I'll still going to kill you for getting us in this game, in the first place.

Come on, Trowa said. We need to go to Hollow Baston, after we talk with Cid. Seems that he has an upgrade for us.

Wufei and Duo said, in unison. They looked at each other, then turned away, with a Trowa and Timothy exchanged glances.

This is going to be some trip, Trowa said.

You're telling me, Timothy agreed.

***************************************
DS: Whoa! I see why this takes long, lengthy, chapters! *Wufei storms in room*
Wufei *angrily*: Why did you show that clip in the bloopers?! I didn't want it shown!
DS *smiles*: I thought it showed the nicer side of Justice Woman Hater Wufei. Besides, I had to show that our relationship was deteriorating even before chapter 18.
Wufei *crosses his arms*: Well, I don't approve of it!
DS: Oh, come on, Wufei. I think we all know that you're a sappy person, deep inside.
Wufei *takes out katana*: You have no justice! I'll chop you into little itty bitty bits, then feed you to RS's hamster!
DS *looks confident*: Wait until Sally finds out that you're standing up for another woman. Especially a woman with a boyfriend. *Wufei growls, then puts his katana away. DS laughs* Besides, I'm enjoying myself with my new power! I hope she never comes back. *Wufei slightly smiles*
Wufei: Well, if you're in charge, then I quit.
DS: WHAT?!
Wufei *simply*: I quit. I don't have a contract with you, but with RS. I knew she would be nice to me, because she one of the few women that do like me.
DS: She likes you? *Wufei nods* Oh... I didn't know that.
Wufei: I'll be leaving after Hollow Baston. You'll have to get another main character by then. Which leaves you with two or three chapters to find a replacement. Good luck. *Wufei walks out, chuckling to himself*
DS: No! This could be the end of Kingdom Gundam! I have to find her! Shoot! Why did she have to leave all of a sudden?! Unless I kill off Wufei and make Duo the main character. Hmmmm...
