Wufei: (rolls eyes at author) What, did you decide to make Quatre a girl after all?
Lady: (beams) BINGO!
Quatre: (looking pitiful) Why do I have to be a girl?
Lady: (pats Quatre on the back) I thought it would be more fun if Heero had more girls to deal with. That, and you look like a girl.

Royal Pains
Chapter II: Two Is Company
It was dark in the dinning hall. With the little light, the only things Heero could see were his sister on his left, Wufei on his right, and the plate in front of him. Heero found himself looking at a plate of fried rice, broccoli and beef, and something Wufei called Lemon Chicken. 'Doesn't look like chicken if you ask me,' he thought. 'Look more like fried dough.'
"Is some thing wrong with you food Heero?" Heero was brought from his thought by Wufei's quiet, but concerned, voice. To Heero, Wufei seemed to be nice, not a very lady like or easy to keep up with girl, but still a nice girl.
"Nothing." Heero said with a light blush on his cheeks, when he realized that every one at the table was staring at him. "How on earth do you use these chop stick anyway?" He asked trying to avert attention away from him. For Some reason Heero seemed to be out of it more than usual ever since he made to China, and he also seemed more nerves as well.
"You put one in between your thumb and index...." Though she should've, Serenity didn't pay any more attention to Wufei after that. For once her thought turned to her brother, it would take mental dynamite to bring her back to reality. 'Why on earth is he being to jumpy, this isn't like him. Come to think of it, Heero as never blush before, well, not since I pulled down his pants in public, but we were three year old then.'
Just then there was a loud boom of the gong indicating that another guest had arrived in the place, and Heero was hoping it wasn't another girl. Unfortunately for him, his luck ran out and it was a girl, for just walking in was a girl not much shorter then he, she had a long Chestnut braid that ended at her knees, large violet eyes, and she wore a endless indigo gown that long sleeves and a plunging bus line.
"Announcing Her highness, princess Duo Maxwell of the United States." For some reason that bishop was getting on Heero's nerves, especially when he blows the darned horn in his ears.
"Duo!" Wufei immediately jump up from the table to give her friend hug, and to see how she was faring.
"Wufei!" Duo exclaimed as she hug Wufei. "You haven't change a bit. You still the biggest tomboy in all of China?"
"You are still the most lady like person I know?" Wufei joked as she pulled away to take a look at Duo. "You've grown. No fair, your taller than me now. "
"Uhmmm....... Excuse me, but-" Heero said before he was cut of by Wufei.
"Oops, sorry Heero, I forgot you were there," Wufei apologized. ". It's just that I haven't seen Duo for really long time and she is one of my best friends."
'Duo huh?' Heero wondered. 'Why does that name sound familiar?'
"Mother would it br alright if Heero, Duo, and I go into the garden?"
"Yes," and answered Wufei's mother. "But only if you stay out of trouble, and that goes for you to mister Yuy." she finished in something that sounded close to amusement.
Heero gulped at the memory of the amount of trouble he got in at the banquet those few years ago. "I put my sling-shot away years ago Mrs. Chang," he said jokingly. "I won't be pegging and any one with a tack."
"I hope not." she answered. Heero was more than glad that Wufei's mom could take a joke.
*************************************************************
Once out in the garden, Wufei and Duo sprinted for a near by tree leaving a confused Heero standing by the door. 'Girls,' Heero thought, 'Their all weird. And boy, can they talk! They sound like the mice that Zero and Wing catch!' (Author's note: Wing is Heero's pet falcon, and Zero is Heero's pet cat)
Duo turned to look at Heero and whispered to Wufei "Are you sure he's the one. I mean he seems a little, well, clue less."
"I know," Wufei answered. "But be patient he's a very nice guy, a bit quiet and lost in thought, but still nice and polite. Besides we have to what for Trowa and Quatre to get here before we can test him." Wufei was in fact very found of Heero. Earlier that day, Wufei found out that Heero was the only boy she knew that could pass her up in a race. Heero was not like the other boys she'd met, one that picked at her because she was a tomboy. Heero on the other hand thought that girl should act a little more like guys at times.
"Well if you say so." Duo retorted. "But do you still think he's mad at me for the whole tack accident?
"No." Just then Wufei got struck with a idea. "Hey Duo come here, I know how we can have some fun with Heero."
Seeing as how Wufei want to send some time with her old friend, Heero started to wander around the garden and soon settled himself under a tree. The garden was filled to the sweet sounds of exotic birds, small animal scurried about the grass. He was about to douse of when he felt some thing crawl up his up his leg. He looked down to see a large monitor lizard sitting on his there looking up at him.
"What the- Ah!" was he got out before the lizard bit into the tender part of his thigh.
"Heero, what's the.. EEEEEK!!!" screeched Duo that the top of her lungs when she caught sight of the lizard.
Heero tried to pry the lizard's jaw off his leg, but it only tightened it's grip at his attempts.
Wufei instantly speed toward her to guest, and almost immediately recognized the lizard as her pet, Nataku. "Nataku, let go of Heero's leg. It's not polite to bit and scare our quests." Wufei shouted at the lizard. 'I thought I put him in my room. Oh well, at least he didn't bit Duo.' Once Nataku let go of Heero's right leg, Wufei grab it's tall and dragged it in front of Duo, who at this point was unconscious on the ground. Once Nataku was safe in it's cage, Wufei turned her attentions to her two friends.
"So that over sized alligator Lizard is your pet?" Ask Heero in a slightly annoyed voice. His leg was bleeding pretty badly to begin with, he just made it worst by trying to stand up.
"Sit down Heero. He's not a alligator lizard, he's a mangrove monitor, and yes he is my pet." Wufei said she as rolled Heero's pant leg up so she could bandage leg "Sorry he bit you like that. He doesn't take to nicely to male strangers."
"That's
alright," Heero said in a usually timid voice. "My pet cat and falcon are
the exact same way when I get lady visitors." He finished with a laugh.
'Well maybe not all girl are just chatter boxes' Heero thought as both
he and Wufei laughed at their pet protectiveness.
Lady: (smiles sweetly) That wasn't so bad, now was it?
Heero: (uses death glare on author) Yes!
Duo: I guess it wasn't that bad. (starts whining) But why do I have to a girl?
Wufei: Stop whining Maxwell.
Lady: Because you care too much about your hair, just like most girls I know.
Quatre: Including you?
Lady: Nope, I just take 2 minutes to brush it out and go on with life. Hey Trowa, why don't you do the preview.
Trowa: (shrugs) What ever. What kind of test are Wufei and Duo talk about? What kind of fun does Wufei have in store for Heero? Between Quatre and me, who will the next to be turned in to girl? Find out in Chapter III: Three is a Crowd
Lady: Later.
