Their Own Little Shinigami: Chapter Six
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wufei walked through the front door, Deidre balanced on his hip.  They had just gotten back from a day at the Preventers office.  Duo had left early to sleep, having not slept well the night before.  During the day, Wufei was called into a meeting, so Deidre stayed with Heero and Quatre.  Quatre was thrilled about watching Deidre, whereas Heero was less then thrilled with the idea.

During the hour they had watched her, Quatre made the mistake of giving Deidre a piece of chocolate.  The end result was a messy office, and them losing her for a few minutes.  When they found her again, she was in Quatre's chair, pretending it was an airplane, complete with sound effects.

Now, Deidre was drifting in and out of consciousness.  Wufei was both, happy that she was sleeping, and unhappy with the fact because that meant she would have problems sleeping that night.  Wufei placed her on the couch and headed into the bedroom he shared with Duo.

In the bedroom, Duo was sprawled out on the bed, in a pair of sweat pants.  His braid fell down the side of the bed.  The comforter was wrapped around his left leg, while the rest of the over sized blanket was on the floor, causing Duo's form to fall half on and half off the bed.

Chuckling, Wufei walked over to the side of the bed, and sat down next to the sleeping Duo.  "Duo, time to get up." Wufei said, shaking his shoulder.  Duo groaned and buried his head under his pillow.  "Duo, if you don't get up, then you won't sleep tonight." Wufei stated.

"Fine...I'm up..." Duo said groggily, peering out from under the pillow with a sleep violet eye.  "Where's Deidre?" He questioned.

"Sleeping on the couch." Wufei answered.

"Go wake her up."

"No, she's worn out from the chocolate high she had."

"Who gave her chocolate?"

"Quatre.  He and Heero watched her for an hour while I was at a meeting."

"Too bad.  Go wake her up."

"No."

"Fine, then you can watch cartoons with her for three hours tonight."

Wufei sighed, "I'll go wake her, and while I do that, you can get your lazy butt out of bed." He said, leaving the room.  Out on the couch, Deidre had rolled over from her back to her side.  "Deidre, time to wake up." Wufei said.

"She, just like Duo, groaned. "No..." She muttered.

"Yes, otherwise you won't sleep tonight and you won't be allowed to watch TV." Wufei stated.

"I don wanna..." She muttered.  Wufei sighed and picked her up off the couch and put her on the ground.  Standing, Deidre wiped the sleep from her eyes and glared at Wufei.  Chuckling, Wufei headed into the kitchen.  Deidre headed into the kitchen after Wufei. "Papa...what's for dinner?"

"How about Chinese?" Wufei suggested.

"Or pizza" Duo suggested, walking into the kitchen.

"Daddy!" Deidre jumped onto Duo.  Duo lifted her up the rest of the way, balancing her on his hip.  "I want Chinese!" She said.

"I figured you would." Duo said grumpily.

"Well, let's make everyone happy and go to a buffet." Wufei commented.

"Alright." Duo shrugged.  "So long as I get pizza."

"Can everyone else come too?!" Deidre asked with big hopeful eyes.

"Uh...if you asked nicely I'm sure they would." Duo answered.

"Yay!" Deidre cheered. "Does this mean I get to use the thingy?"

"The thingy?" Wufei repeated.

"You know! The thingy you and Daddy always use to yell at Uncle Heero when he does something bad." Deidre explained.

"Oh...the telephone." Duo said, using the correct terminology.

"Yeah!" She said.  "The telephone!"

"Okay...you go call everyone while I go get changed." Duo said, handing Deidre over to Wufei.  Nodding, Wufei carried Deidre into the living room while Duo went back to the bedroom to change.  Wufei pulled a chair up to the phone.

"Okay, I'll dial the number, but you have to ask." Wufei said.

"Okay!" Deidre agreed quickly.  Wufei's fingers moved quickly across the keypad.  After a few seconds, Heero showed up on screen.

"Hello." He said monotone, as usual.

"Hi Uncle Heero!" Deidre said happily. "Can I speak to Uncle Quatre?"

"I'm not your uncle." Heero stated.

"Right...so can I talk to Uncle Quatre?"

Heero sighed.  "Fine..."  Heero left the screen and Quatre showed up seconds later. 

"Hello Deidre." Quatre said with a smile.

"Hello Uncle Quatre!" Deidre said.  "Would you and Uncle Heero like to join me, papa, and daddy for dinner?"

"Sure, where at?"

"Um...I don't know.  I'll ask papa." She said, disappearing, returning a few minutes later.  "He said at the Golden China Buffet."

"Alright, what time?"

"Um...in an hour."

"Alright! See you there!"

"Bye!" Both phones cut off at the same time.  "Okay, now Uncle Trowa and Uncle Zechs!" Deidre was still having problems pronouncing Zechs, so it usually comes out sounding like 'sex'.  Wufei nodded and dialed the phone. Zechs appeared in the screen seconds later. "Hi Uncle Zechs!" Deidre said.

"Hello Deidre." Zechs said.

"How are you and Uncle Trowa?"

"Were fine."

"That's cool.  So, would you and Uncle Trowa like to come to dinner with me, papa, and daddy?"

"I'm sure we'd love too, but I have family over."

"Oh..." Deidre pouted.

"We'll come next time though. I promise." Zechs said.

"Okay!" Deidre said.  The screen went black, and Deidre got off the chair.  Wufei and Duo were already waiting.  "Only Uncle Quatre and Uncle Heero.  Uncle Zechs and Uncle Trowa and people over." 

"Well, we don't want to be late." Duo said, picking up the small girl.  "So let's go!" He said, leaving the house, Wufei locking the door after he left.
