OH YEAH! I'm just getting started. So, I had a couple of
reviews, it's nice that you like it so far. Right now I'm
actually suppose to be doing my homework instead of writing
this, but it's all for the fans.

Wufei got up from his seat trying hard to control his anger.
Fists clenched tight he walked over to the dance floor breathing
heavily. Upon reaching it he touched her shoulder lightly making
her spin around to face him.
"Women! Whom are you dancing with?" he glared at the man who so
perfectly had his hand around Sally's waist.
Sally retorted. "Well, you wouldn't dance with me! I gave you a
chance! Now I'm leaving." Sally quickly headed for their table.
She took her purse and started to head out the door and before
slamming it shut she proclaimed to the man next to Wufei, "So
you'll pick me up tomorrow at 9?"
"Yeah!" the man answered smiling to himself and then she left.
Wufei perplexed looked around the room and was meet with glares
from everyone situated in the restaurant. Annoyed, Wufei
shouted, "What are you all looking at? HUH!" Then turned to face
the man whom Sally had been dancing with.
The man almost laughing snickered. "Wow, she sure made you look
like a fool!"
Wufei muttered something under his breath that sounded like.
"Idiot," and then with one good swipe of his hand hit the man
hard in the face. This time Wufei snickered and left the
building.
***
"Wow! She left you there all alone and everyone was just staring
at you!"
"Yes, Duo! I said that twice already." Wufei muttered into the
receiver.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" Duo stated
apprehensively.
Wufei twirled the cord as he spoke. "There is nothing I can do."
"Oh sure there is!" Duo said with a smirk on the other line as
he munched on a Krispy Kreme.
"Duo, are you eating again?"
"No." Wufei heard a crunch, then a little cough, and then his
voice again.
"As I was saying, we can do something about it! We can take
action! This time he heard a chair fall to the ground and then
the words. "Where is your pride Wufei?" caught his attention.
"My pride?" Wufei repeated softly. "Duo, you have any ideas?"
"Of course I do! I'm Duo, how can I not!" He sang triumphantly
into the speaker.
Wufei smiled a small smile as he thought how much trouble this
could cause.
"So what do you suggest?"
"You told me didn't you that Sally would be going out with that
man tonight at 9 right?"
"Yes." He answered not understanding what Duo was getting at.
"Well, I propose we join them!" Duo yelped.
"What?"
"Of course not openly but secretly. We'll be like Sherlock
Holmes and his great Companion Watson working together to solve
a mystery!"
"Ahum... and how do you suppose we find the location of the date?"
"Just leave that all up to me!" proclaimed Duo.
Wufei sighed then reluctantly agreed and hung up the phone.
He then crept into his room put on his P.J.s' and then sled into
his comfy bed. Suddenly, as he was almost sound asleep there came
a raucous from the other side of the wall, a deep annoying
sound, the sound of blasting pop music.
"Damn it! Damn It! Damn It!" Wufei got up out of his bed and
hurried out of his apartment letting the door slam behind him.
Reaching his neighbor's door he began to bang it furiously.
"My God! Well you PLEASE lower the Damn volume!" Wufei waited
for the sound of the music to go down but all he heard was the
distinct sound of "no!"
More angered then before Wufei headed back to his apartment
while uttering the words, "Why don't you go drive in a ditch and
die!"
He reached his door and turned the knob. Nothing happened. He
tried it again, and again the same result. This just wasn't his
day.
***
Wufei was awaken by the sudden shaking of his arm. "Hey Wufei,
what happened buddy?"
Wufei blinked his eyes trying to remember where he was. Oh,
yeah, he remembered, he remembered it clearly. He turned to face
his neighbor's door eying it with eyes full of hate.
"Wow, your not in a good mood," Duo chuckled but then realized
that it wasn't the best time for a joke. "I'll open the door for
you. Then you can do your thing, make me breakfast and then head
out to work! What do you say?"
Wufei got up. "Duo just open the door!"
Duo reached into his pocket and pulled out a key. "All right,
all right."
They entered his apartment and this time Duo did the cooking as
Wufei changed and took a shower. Wufei then took a seat at the
small table and began to eat the concoction Duo had cooked up.
"I have everything planned for tonight if that's what your
thinking?"
Wufei got up and tossed his leftovers away. "Ok."
"But, we need a disguise." Duo then from underneath his seat
took up a large brown paper bag. "That's why I got these!" Duo
held up with his hands an old Victorian looking trench coat and
other garments to go with it.
Wufei turned around to examine the clothing. "Duo! What the
heck!"
Duo smiled. "Look, I even got you a mustache and pipe!"
"You've got to be kidding I'm not wearing that!"

(5 hours later)
"I can't believe I'm wearing this!" Wufei grunted as they sat in
the car waiting for the couple to meet. The night was cold and
Wufei tightened his trench coat for a more warm and tighter fit.
Duo beamed. "You look fantastic!"
Wufei fixed his mustache and looked out the window. "Well you
just concentrate on finding them."
"Oh, yeah, what time is it?"
Wufei looked at his watch. "Almost five to 9."
"Wait! Is that them?" Duo gasped as he stuck his head out the
window.
"Yeah it's them!" Wufei muttered as he pulled Duo back into the
car. "Lets go."
"Right. Mister Holmes!"
