Chapter 7: True To Your Heart
Back At The Maxwell Mansion:
//Baby, I knew at once
That you were meant for me//
Father Maxwell is sitting beneath the blossom tree, when a blossom falls and lands on his leg. Duo appears at the threshold and moves toward her father. He sees her approaching and starts to stand.
"Duo?" he whispers, while Duo quickly moves in front of her father and kneels causing him to sit back down.
//Deep in my soul I know
That I'm your destiny//
"Father, I brought you the sword of Lord Treize -" began Duo handing him the sword,
" --- and the crest of the Emperor -" she continued handing the crest her father then bows her head,
"They're gifts to honor the Maxwell Family." Father Maxwell takes the gifts and throws them down to the ground beside him to the surprise of Duo then bends down and holds her arms outstretched.
//Though you're unsure
Why fight the tide
Don't think so much
Let your heart decide//
"The greatest gift and honor, is having you for a daughter.-" he said wiping away Duo's tears and hugging her,
"I've missed you so."
"I've missed you too, Baba." Said Duo hugging him back, while Helen and Grandma Sally watch from the doorway with a smile,
"Ahhhhh" sighed Helen happily,
"Great, she brings home a sword. If you ask me she should have brought home a ma-" began Grandma Sally but stops leaving her mouth open when she sees Heero.
//Baby, I see your future
And it's tied to mine
I look in your eyes
And see you searching for a sign//
"Excuse me, does Duo Maxwell live here?"" he asked quietly while Grandma Sally, still with her mouth open, and Helen point toward Duo's position with wide eyes. Heero walks toward Duo and her father,
"Woo, sign me up for the next war." Whooped Grandma Sally, while Heero approaches Father Maxwell, and bows before speaking confidently,
"Honorable Father Maxwell I-Duo-" paused Heero shocked as Duo steps up. Seeing her Heero starts speaking insecurely.
//But you'll never fall
'Til you let go
Don't be scared
Of what you don't know//
" --- Uh...Uh...You forgot your helmet. Ah but well, actually it's your helmet, isn't it?... -" stuttered Heero handing the helmet toward Father Maxwell,
"I mean...---" continued Heero while Father Maxwell motions with his head for Duo to take over. Duo who holds the helmet Heero offers,
"Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Would you like to stay forever?" yelled Grandma Sally speaking from the doorway while Duo shakes her head with a smile at the statement,
"Dinner would be great." Answered Heero reassuredly.
//True to your heart
You must be true to your heart
That's when the heavens will part
And baby, shower you with my love
Open your eyes
Your heart can tell you no lies
And when you're true to your heart
I know it's gonna lead you straight to me
(Got to be true to your heart)//
****************************
In The Maxwell Family Temple:
Ancestor Rashid grinned happily looking at the scene through the temple window. He watches Duo hand the helmet back to Father Maxwell while Shenlong climbs up to the window sill by his head.
"C'mon, who did a good job? C'mon, tell me who did a good job." Questioned Shenlong tugging on Ancestor Rashid's ear,
"Oh, all right. You can be a guardian again." Said Ancestor Rashid hesitantly,
"Yeeeeeahhhhhhh." Screamed Shenlong running to his post while Cri-Kee bangs the gong awakening all the ancestors.
"Take it Cri-Kee." Shenlong said while Cri-Kee starts drumming on some pots,
"She gets it from my side of the family" said Ancestor Meiran dancing, while Ancestor Zechs kicks his severed head in the air like a beach ball.
"Call out for egg rolls!" yelled Shenlong swinging from a chain,
"Guardians." Muttered Ancestor Rashid disgusted, while Shenlong lets go of the chain and lands on the steps outside the temple. Duo walks up to him and rests besides him on the steps.
"Thanks, Shenlong" thanked Duo kissing him on the forehead, when little brother runs up the steps and into the temple with the bag of grain tied to him. The chickens follow him in.
"Bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark, bark "
"Shenlong!" yelled Ancestor Rashid annoyed.
