Part 5 people; yes it is getting long and stupidly drunk!  Oh well, that's the way I like it!

I did not say in my last one that the song that Heero sang is not mine.  It was sung by Corkey and the Juice Pigs, so I assume it belongs to them… but it definitely does not belong to me.

Ok the usual, I do not own Gundam Wing or any of the characters because if I did… would I be here?… really…?  No, I don't think so.  Don't sue.

Oh, Chara, if you're reading…what's a pocky? (Part of your review if you remember)

Please Read on, and Review.

After the hardship, lies great accomplishment.

After much pushing and shoving and shouting and drinking, the group of "Intrepid travellers" as Quatre had put it, made it to the other end of the hall and into the corridor.  They all stopped in front of the stairs so that they could have a rest… and a drink.

Heero had a slug of the champagne before pushing it into Duo's hands.  Duo scrutinised the bottle for a minute before taking a big gulp.

Trowa placed Quatre on the stairs as Treize lowered Wufei down next to Quatre.

Noin was looking at Zechs seductively and he started to slowly sidle towards her.

"Quick Quatre, where to from here," Trowa said falling to his knees, "Noin and Zechs look like they're gonna shtart going at it again," he finished giving them a skittish look.  Zechs jumped away from Noin with an embarrassed grin.  Noin sheepishly rubbed the back of her neck and smiled at the group.

Quatre looked thoughtful for a while, "Well, we can go 2 waysh, but I musht ask you a queshton before we can shet off," he said as he closed his eyes and waved his finger around in the air.

"And what is the question?" Heero asked as he threw an arm of Duo's shoulders and leant forward so he could hear better.

"What is your philosophy in life?" Quatre asked as he looked at the group through one eye, "Mountain climbing: beyond the hardships lies great accomplishment, or," he carried on, opening the other eye and looking at the group rather unsteadily, "hiking: the destination can be reached rather comfortably."  He finished his philosophy and looked at the group waiting for their answer.  Everyone looked at each other then looked at Quatre.

"Hiking," they all cried in unison, apart from Wufei, who didn't say anything as he was half asleep slumped on the stairs.

"Alright then, Quatre said, standing up on wobbly legs, "upstairs it is then."

He pointed gallantly up the stairs.  He did this for a short while before turning round to look questioningly at Trowa, who just chuckled and moved forward to scoop the young Arabian into his arms.

Trieze laughed a little as he turned round to retrieve Wufei, "Come on Chang time to… HEY!  STOP THAT!" he yelled angrily at Duo.  Duo jumped back from Wufei shame faced, where he had been poking the aforementioned Chinese boy in the face with an empty champagne bottle.  Heero broke out into peals of laughter, which did not help Duo at all as he tried to apologise with a straight face

"I really am very shorry," Duo said as he made calming gestures with his hands and backed away from the fuming Treize, who had scooped the semi-conscious Wufei into his arms.

Duo was not looking behind him and so bumped into Zechs, who fell over with a cry.  Duo lost his balance and bailed over Zechs, landing on top of him.  Heero stopped laughing to take in this spectacle and then fell to his knees in hysterics.

Trowa shook his head in his silent way and surveyed the situation.

"Come on guys we have to…"

"AIYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"Bollocks!" Trowa finished as he stumbled forwards fazed by the sudden cry now emanating around the hallway.

Treize merely yelped a little and dropped Wufei, "What did I say about doing that!" he yelled at Wufei who was now sat bolt upright on the floor.

Duo, who had been getting to his feet at the time, had fallen over again, landed on Zechs… again and knocked him to the floor… again.

"Bathroom!" Wufei said urgently as he attempted to stand unsuccessfully.

Heero tugged Duo up to his feet.  Duo nodded at him thankfully as he took the champagne bottle and had another drink.

Zechs slowly stood up and mad his sad, pouty face at Noin who rushed over and gave him a big hug.

"Up we go then," Treize said as he manoeuvred Wufei onto his back again and started up the stairs.

Everyone made noises of agreement and began their ascent of the very steep, very long stairs.

Halfway up they stopped for another drinking break so that they could regain their breath.  Heero slumped down onto the floor and dragged Duo with him so that they could share another drink.

"Man Quatre," Duo panted, as he slipped his arm through Heero's, "I'm glad we didn't take the 'mountain' route if this is the 'hiking' one."  He made little finger quote-y marks as he said 'mountain' and 'hiking'. (AN: just painting the picture for you ^.^)

Heero placed the bottle into Duo's lap as he watched interestedly as other people walked past.

"Hey Winner, what wash the other route?" Wufei asked a little slurred as he looked about on Treize's back.  Quatre looked at him for a while and then broke into a grin.

"Actually, they were the same thing," he said and his smile widened.

"Ack!" Duo said as he coughed out some of the champagne in disbelief.  Heero patted his back absently.

"Then why did you give us the option?" Trowa asked as he hugged Quatre's body to his own.

"Well I couldn't remember where the downstairs bathroom was, sho we had to go to the upstairs one regardlesh," Quatre answered as he snuggled into Trowa's chest.

"Hn," Heero said.

"Well let's get this one over with, 'cos I'm getting really desperate!" Noin said as she grabbed Zechs' hand and pulled him up the stairs.  Zechs went willingly and as he passed Heero and Duo, he grabbed this wig of Duo's head and carried on.

"Hey!" Duo said as he waved his hand in the air in a desperate attempt to retrieve the wig.  He jumped up and ran after the laughing Zechs.  Heero watched silently and then sighed a little.

"At leasht they'll get to the top quickly," Heero commented, as he carried on climbing the stairs.

15 minutes and 5 drinking stops later, they reached the top of the stairs.

"That took way long!" Noin exclaimed as she leant against the wall, exhausted.

"I relly need to goes!" Wufei whined as he wiggled about on Treize's back.

"Whatever you do, just hold it," Treize said urgently, looking a little worried.  Heero laughed.

"Where now Q-man?" Duo asked as he looked up and down the hall, which was tilting back and forth.

Quatre looked thoughtful for a while, "It's left," he announced waving an arm wildly in the direction he meant… which happened to be to the right.  Trowa merely looked amused and followed Quatre's pointed directions.

They trudged down the hall for a while until Quatre screeched, "STOP!" and they all came to a halt outside a large wood panelled door.

"Alright!  We made it!" Duo whooped as he did his victory dance.

"Mission completed," Heero said stoically before breaking into a grin and joining in with Duo's victory dance. (AN: Heero… dancing O.o)

"Who gets to go in first though?" Treize asked as he stared at the group.  Everyone went silent and glared at each other, except Wufei, because he was still semi-conscious.

"Well I think…" Trowa began.

"EEE!"

"Ack!" Trowa choked on his words.

"For the love of Oz Wufei!" Treize thundered, as he swung the Chinese boy into his arms (AN: he was on Treize's back, remember?), "Stop fucking screaming!"

"As I was saying," Trowa carried on as he stared at Wufei warily, "Maybe we should let Wufei go in, in case he screams anymore and scares the shit out of me again!" Trowa glared at Wufei.

"I'll go in with him," Treize said as he opened the door, "We don't want him collapsing in there and no-one knowing now do we?" he finished as he stepped inside.

"EEP!"

Treize backed out looking a little shame faced, "Sorry, didn't know you were in there," he said as everyone leant around the doorway and saw a very startled and embarrassed looking woman sat on the toilet.  Quatre pulled the door shut as Trowa backed away.

"Well that was embarrassing," Treize muttered as Duo and Heero wet themselves in the background.

The disgruntled woman came out of the bathroom, an interesting colour of puce and mumbled her way passed them.

"In we go," Treize said as he pushed the door open and closed it with his foot.

"No funny business!" Quatre screeched through the door.

"Whatever do you mean?" came the muffled reply, along with some giggles.

"He means boinking!" Duo yelled helpfully.  Treize laughed from behind the door as Quatre looked upon Duo with disgust.

"What?" Duo asked with a wide grin.

"You could have ushed a nisher word," Quatre said indignantly as he sniffed.

Trowa merely shook his head and chuckled.

"Zechs, do you and Noin want to go next?" Trowa asked without turning around to look at them.  There was no answer.  Duo and Heero were laughing again, at something over Trowa's shoulder.  He looked at them confused and then turned around to see what it was.  Zechs had Noin pinned up against the wall and they were pashing… again.  When they saw Trowa react, Duo and Heero laughed harder and clung to each other for support.

"Ok then," Quatre said, a little red staining his cheeks, "Trowa and I will go next."

"No we'll go next!" Noin's muffled voice could be heard.

"You have to promishe to behave," Quatre said bluntly.

"We promishe," came the faint reply.

10 minutes later Treize pushed himself and Wufei out the bathroom.  Wufei was actually standing on his own 2 feet.

"Dude, you're not drunk enough!" Duo said as Heero pushed their champagne bottle into Wufei's chest.

Wufei looked at the bottle for a while, then he looked at Duo and Heero who were grinning and nodding encouragingly at him.  Wufei threw back his head and took some big gulps.  On doing so, he revealed his neck, which was covered in tiny, little marks.  Duo leant forward and peered at them.

"Wufei's got hickeys!" he chuckled into Heero's ear quietly.  Heero had a closer look and started to snort with suppressed laughter.

"Had fun in the bathroom then I see," Heero said as he nudged Treize in the side.  Treize went a lovely shade of rose, as Wufei stood there, oblivious. (AN: 'Cos he was trashed! ^__^)

Zechs and Noin slipped into the bathroom as everyone lounged outside waiting for them to finish, drinking and attempting conversation.

"We'll go next," Quatre said matter-of-factly.

"Why?" Duo whined.

"Because," Quatre said, as he squinted at him, "it's my house!"

Duo thought about it for a moment then agreed.

"Looks like we're lasht Hee-kun," Duo said as he put his arm around Heero's shoulders.

"Looks like it Duo-chan," Heero agreed as he took the bottle off Wufei and had another drink.

13 minutes precisely went by before Quatre got Trowa to start banging on the door.

"Come on guys!" Quatre moaned, "You promished you'd behave!"

Zechs and Noin came out of the bathroom looking guilty.  Zechs was covered in lipstick.

"We're just going to… erm… ah…you know…" Zechs said sheepishly as he shrugged and made pointless hand gestures.

"Fuck?" Duo added obligingly.  Noin went bright red, as Zechs stumbled at the bluntness of the statement.

"Just don't use my room!" Duo sang after them as Zechs dragged Noin off down the corridor.

"Our turn," Trowa said as he took Quatre into the bathroom.

The 4 that were left decided to have a game of rock-paper-scissors while they waited.

After 5 minutes Heero was winning 15, to 2 (Treize) to 1 (Duo).

"Injushtice!" Wufei slurred as he wobbled around.

Quatre and Trowa came out of the bathroom.

"Let's go!" Duo said as he grabbed Heero's arm and dragged him up and into the bathroom.

Duh-duh-duh!  That's where I'm gonna leave it.  Annoying I know, but it was getting long!

I hope to do the next part soon!  Please R+R it really means a lot to me.

Sorry for the atrocious spelling, but they're still pissed and slurring so… what are ya gonna do?  Anyways stay drunk till next time ^__~
