Kat: Hey Heero!

Heero: Yea?

Kat: Come here for a minute, would you? And bring Duo and Trowa with you!

Heero: Be right there.

*Duo, Heero, and Trowa enter the kitchen. Kat, Lily, and Akkiko are waiting for them*

Lily: Hey Duo!

Duo: Lily! *Glomps* I missed you!

Lily: Love you too, but I was only out for an hour.

Duo: So? *He lets go anyways*

Heero: So what did you need Kat?

Akkiko: Actually, we all need to talk to you guys.

Trowa and Heero: Uh oh.

Duo: Lily, what's up?

Kat: Well, y'see, we were talking the other day . . .

:::Flashback:::

Lily: Hey guys, listen, I don't have long, Duo and I are going to the movies.

Akkiko: Yea, I have plans too.

Kat: Do those plans include scarring innocent people?

Akkiko: Maybe . . .

Kat: Can I come!

Akkiko: GOD NO! I'm going to go shopping for Mobile Suit parts with Trowa, and maybe scare a few innocent bystanders.

Kat: No fun. Heero's busy.

Lily: Doing what?

Kat: He won't tell me! Stupidhead.

Lily and Akkiko= v_v*

Lily: Geeze, how long have we been with our boys anyway?

Akkiko and Kat: *Counting on fingers* Um . . .

Kat: I don't KNOW! It seems like we've just always been together.

Akkiko: Yea, why?

Lily: Because, well, I got a phone call the other day.

Akkiko and Kat: She got a phone call. WOW.

Lily: Shut up. Anyways, it's not so important what was said as who called.

Akkiko: Eh?

Lily: *Sighs* It was my Mother.

Kat: WHAT?!

Lily: She got wind that I was seeing someone, and she wants to meet him. She said something about YOUR parents as well Kat.

Kat: Shit.

Akkiko: HAH! Sucks to be you guys!

*Phone rings*

Akkiko: Okay, not cool *picks up phone* Hello? Oh, hi! Um, yea . . . why? Day after tomorrow? Er, I guess. Okay, love you too. Bye. *Hangs up*

Kat: Let me guess.

Akkiko: My parents.

Lily: It was inevitable, you must admit.

Kat:  . . .

Lily: They were BOUND to find out eventually. After all, this is my family's old PMQ.

Akkiko: I thought you said the PMQ's are crap.

Lily: They are. Duo and I fixed it up. With a little help from Quatre.

Kat: O-kay then. So. YOUR parents want to meet Duo –

Lily: And Yours want to meet Heero –

Akkiko: And mine will not leave me in peace until they meet Trowa.

Lily: We'll tell the boys tonight. As a group.

Akkiko: Sure.

Kat: Just a note, girls. NO HOLDS BARRED. We have to do everything possible to make this work.

Lily: No problem. *Her pager beeps* Oops, that'll be Duo. Gotta run!

:::End Flashback:::

Boys: WHAT?!

Kat: MUST we spell it out for you. MY parents want to meet Heero . . .

Lily: Duo, you will be meeting my parents . . .

Akkiko: Barton, my family will kill if they don't meet you.

Duo: But, but, WHY?

Heero: They've been perfectly happy until now!

Lily: It's a parent thing. I'm the eldest, so therefore they want to see there first 'wittle baby-kins' boyfriend.

Kat: Akkiko and I are the youngest, the baby's of the family. They want to make sure no one's gonna hurt their 'ickle baby-kins'.

Trowa: Akkiko, please?

Akkiko: Trowa. We can do this the easy way, or I can go Demon on your ass.

Duo: There's no duct tape in this house, Trowa, you're safe.

Trowa: Akkiko, love you, but really, your parents?

Akkiko: Demon mode . . . processing . . .

Trowa: GLEEP! Okay, okay. I'll go.

Akkiko: Thank you baby *kisses him and leaves*

Heero: It depends, Kat. Is it just your parents?

Kat: Nope! My older sister shall be there!

Heero: In that case . . . HELL NO! Think about this. Families, particularly fathers and protective older sisters, rarely like the men who are dating the youngest daughter.

Kat: Muffin. You're going.

Heero: Or what?

Kat: Or I send you to the Peacecraft Manor for a week.

Heero: With . . . HER?!

Kat: Yes.

Heero: Fine *pouts*.

Kat: Thank you baby! *Kisses him and leaves*

Duo: Lily, I ain't going nowhere!

Lily: I know you're not.

Duo: You do?

Lily: Of course! They're coming here! *Kisses him and leaves*

Duo: Shit.

:::The Night of Duo and Lily's Dinner:::

Heero: KAT! Come ON! We're going to be late!

Kat: I'm coming! *Bounds down the stairs*

Heero: I thought you went up to change?!

Kat: I did.

Heero: But you're wearing the same thing!

Kat: Different shoes.

Heero= -_-*

Heero: Whatever. Can we go so Duo and Lily can have their dinner?

Kat: Yes.

*They leave*

Duo: LILY!!!

Lily: Yes?

Duo: WHAT IS THIS?! *He brandishes a black Armani suit with a red tie*

Lily: It's called a suit. You don't have to wear the jacket or the tie, they just came with it.

Duo: You want ME to wear a suit.

Lily: If I have to dress you myself . . .

Duo: Fine *grumbles and goes upstairs*

Lily: 6:30. Half an hour and counting.

Akkiko: Trowa, we have to go!

Trowa: Really?

Akkiko: If you're good, we'll harass some innocent bystanders.

Trowa: What is this word, good?

Akkiko: MY line.

Lily: *Sticks her head out of kitchen* Actually, yours was "What is this word, vacation?"

Akkiko: Whatever. Trowa, we leave NOW.

Trowa: Fine.

*They leave*

Duo: *Coming down* How's this?

Lily: Very nice. My compliments on the alterations.

*The shirt is open-collar, white, and the pants aren't the Armani suit ones, but they're black and they work*

Duo: The other set just wasn't doing anything for me.

Lily: Whatever. Just don't get it dirty.

Duo: And risk your wrath? Never.

Lily: Oh, stop that *she throws a dish cloth at him*

Duo: *Catches the cloth, tosses it down to the basement* Stop what?

Lily: You know what!

Duo: *Enjoying the fact that Lily is getting peeved* Yes, oh great and mighty mistress.

Lily: That's better.

Duo: *Sticks out his tongue at her* When are they coming?

Lily: 7:00. Very mature, by the way. Don't do that in front of my father.

Duo: SHIT. Your father is coming?!

Lily: He's part of my family, you baka.

Duo: Leave me be, I forgot.

Lily: Yea, whatever. Where are Quatre and Wufei tonight?

Duo: They said they had plans to go create trouble.

Lily: Good enough. Now help me set the table, they'll be here any minute.
