Chapter 5: Barnes and Noble


Wufei yelled, his voice echoing through the store.

whispered customers. Wufei cleared his throat.

This has to be the best day of my life! He declared. Behold, a display on the Lord of the Rings!

Wow, that is something, Wufei, Quatre said, trying not to be mean. They had all split up, again. Relena and Heero went somewhere, while Trowa and Duo went elsewhere. Can we go somewhere else, Wufei?

Wufei yelled.



Oops, sorry, Wufei said, quieting down. Listen, I have to protect you from rubber duckies, right?

Uh, I guess. Wufei turned around.

So, you're not going to wander off, and since the Lord of the Rings has nothing to do with rubber duckies, Wufei turned back around. We'll.... Quatre? Quatre?

Oh look, Relena said, squealing. A book on-

Heero said, reading a book.

What are you reading? Relena asked, looking at the cover. 15 Best Love Stories? Heero nodded, flipping a page. That is so disgusting! You should like.... This! She held out a book. How to Kill a Guy in 10 Days!

Oh, that's so horrible, Heero said, holding back tears. He dumped her for the waitress.

Are you listening to me?! Relena screamed.

the customers said.

Relena said, quietly.

Now this is a bookstore, Duo said, sipping his coffee.

I'm glad you like it, Trowa said, sipping his.

Well, it's not everyday that a bookstore has a cafe in them.

Most major bookstores do, Duo.

Oh well. Do you still have that-? Trowa pulled out his frying pan. That's what I feared...

I'm not a little kid, Quatre mumbled, walking down the teen section. He stopped. Saiyuki: Journey to the West, he said, picking up the comic book. Looks interesting. He began to read it, still walking.

I think it's kinda odd that he's reading a comic book that we're in, Gojyo said, kinda puzzled. Elenwen runs in with her handheld thingy.

Name: Sha Gojyo. Height: 184 cm. Weight: 75 kg. Age: 22. Species: Half-Human Half-Demon. Birthday: November 9. Eye Color: Red. Hair Color: Bright red. Weapon: Jakujou.

That's annoying, Gojyo said, putting a cigarette in his mouth, about to light it. Do you do that in-

said a worker. She grabbed Gojyo's ear.

Hey! Hey! What are you doing?

There will be no smoking in the store! She said, throwing him out the door.

Hee hee, Elenwen giggled.

Relena and Heero are in the cafe, reading the books they had bought.

Relena smirked, still reading. Putting poison in his cup would ultimately do him in.

Oh, she's so wonderful! Heero sobbed. She said she loves him and will care for him the rest of her life! Heero put the book down and cried. Trowa and Duo exchanged glances.

That is scary beyond imagination, Duo said.

Trowa agreed, nodding.

You would think Heero would be trying to kill Relena, not the other way around, Duo said.

That's why Heero's so sick all the time, Trowa said. And I thought he didn't want to hear me play my flute...

Wufei whispered, running around the store, frantically. Quatre? Where are you?!

the customers said.

Quatre walked along the reference books, still reading the manga. All the bad words in it were blackened out.

This is strange, he said, flipping through the pages. Every bad word is blocked out. Suddenly, he heard a snicker. He looked up. There was Deorwin, with a machine gun. Quatre= O_O

Prepare to meet your maker, Deorwin yelled, pulling the trigger. Hundreds of yellow rubber duckies flew out of the machine gun. Quatre screamed, dodging all the rubber duckies that flew towards him. He threw the manga book at Deorwin and hit him in the head. Deorwin= x_x

Wufei said, frantically.

Hey Wufei, Duo said, turning around. What's up?

Quatre's missing, Wufei said, in a hushed tone.

Trowa asked, standing.

We have to find him before the rubber duckies do! Wufei said.

Duo and Trowa said, with a nod, going with Wufei. On the other side of the table, Heero was still crying. Relena was glancing over at Heero.

Rule 2, Relena said. Make it look like a suicide by slitting a vital point. She took out a knife.

Quatre looked at Deorwin, laying on the ground. He felt very sorry for what he had done. He went up beside Deorwin's fallen body and sat beside it.

he said, softly. I'm sorry for hitting you with that book. Deorwin seemed to move, slightly. That was very cruel for me to do. I'm sorry.

Don't be too sorry, sucker! Deorwin yelled, hitting Quatre in the face with a rubber ducky. Quatre fell over. Quatre= x_x Deorwin= ^_^

the customers said.

Oh, sh' yourself! Deorwin yelled, disappearing.

Oh no, Trowa said, seeing Quatre on the floor. We're too late. Wufei picked up a rubber ducky.

We could lock Quatre in the trunk, Duo said. That way, he won't get hit by rubber ducks! Whack! Thwack! Wham! Trowa put his frying pan away, Wufei put his fan away, and Heero put his shoe back on.

Wufei said. Where did you come from?

The sky, Heero said, seriously. Wufei and Trowa= O_O;;

Where's Relena? Trowa asked. Heero smiled, evilly.

Wouldn't you like to know?

Pikachu said, happily.

Relena screamed.

the costumers said.

Oops, sorry, Relena said, quietly.

Ahhhhhh!! Kill Pikachu! Chris yelled, running in with a sword.

Pikachu yelped, running towards Kenshin.

I like this book, that I do! Kenshin said, picking up a book.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Kenshin!! Chris screamed, running away.

Pikachu said, satisfied. He sat on Relena's head.

Relena screamed.

the costumers said.

So, it was all a front? Duo asked, in disbelief.

Heero said. I hate romance novels. Elenwen runs in and starts clapping, then runs away. I had been suspecting Relena for a while. But now, vengeance will be mine! Mwhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

Trowa said, with Quatre in his arms. That's freaky.

Wufei said, with a nod.

No, this is freaky, Xellos said, coming in and pulling down his pants.

they screamed.

the costumers screamed. Everyone evacuated the building. Xellos grinned, and pulled up his pants.

I've been scarred, Wufei said.

I haven't, Duo said, grinning. I wear pink underwear all the time! Especially Hilde's! Everyone= O_O;;

What did I miss? Quatre asked, waking up.
