~ Beyond What You Needed To Know About Life ~

Chapter Three: United Dorks, the More People the Better

Heero glanced over his laptop at the show in front of him.

Farfarello, still in his school uniform, was doing a handstand, yelling at Schu who was trying to help Duo with his math while doing an art project at the same time.

"Schu-Schu?" Farf asked.

"What?"

"I'm hungry Schu-Schu."

"Its four in the afternoon."

"So? I'm hungry now-now."

"They don't start serving dinner until six."

"Were eating at the school-school?"

"We've just got back to school and we've eaten at Ranma's every night."

Duo raised his eyebrows.

"That and I'm out of cash till Friday."

Duo and Farfie laughed.

"My dad would kill me if he knew I was already out of cash. I mean it's forty for the week. Sixty for the weekends, who could live off that?"

"Me-me."

Schu glared. "Farfie, I pay for you. Have you ever had money?"

Farfie blinked, "Isn't that why I have you-you?"

Duo laughed.

"Oh look who's laughing, I pay for you too."

"You offer and I'm poor. I'd pay if I had a dad handing out money like an ATM."

Heero blinked, "you get a hundred bucks a week?"

"On a normal school week," Schu said.

"Normal?"

"Yeah, school days are ten bucks a day, and weekends, including Fridays are twenty. Any days we don't have school is a twenty."

"You get one-hundred and forty bucks a week in the summer?"

"Yeah."

"That's so unfair," Heero glanced back at his laptop.

"My dad makes my allowance in like thirty minutes or less."

Duo nodded, "Doctor Krushrenada is tops in Japan. Some clients pay like thousands an hour to be seen by him."

"I'd pay that much not to be seen by him," Schu said.

"Me too-too!" Farfie added.

"Farf, why do you keep repeating things?"

"Because two is a good number."

Schu sighed.

"That and it's like sex. The more people the better."


*~*~*~*~*

"Out of money already?" Zechs asked as Schu, Farf, Heero, and Duo walked to the table, dinner trays in hand.

"Yeah," Schu said, "until tomorrow."

Hotohori sighed, twirling his long hair around his finger.

"We're still going to a movie tomorrow right?" Nuriko asked, tossing his red shoes across Wufei, who brushed them off.


Schu nodded.

"I'm bringing a date," Nuriko said.

"Surprise surprise," Wufei said.

Farfie giggled, "two-two!"

Schu sighed.

"I can't make it to the movie, but I'll meet you guys for pizza," Zechs said.

"What are you doing?"

"Something Noin's making me."

Schu laughed.

Yuki nodded, writing something down in his notebook. "I'm not going to either tomorrow, sorry."

"Why not?" Nuriko asked. "Don't you want to meet my new man?"

"Yeah, as thrilling as meeting yet another one of your dates Nuriko, I have this meeting with a publisher."

"Really?" Hotohori asked.

Yuki nodded.

Farfie picked at his noodles, "this sucks, get paid more."

"Hey, I needed those art supplies."

"I think you need me more," Farf decided.

"So?" Heero asked. "Is anyone going out for any school activities?"

"Me?" Hotohori asked. "No way."

Nuriko sighed, "um, in the spring most of us do Rock-Climbing club. Schu's in the On-line Role Playing For Dorks Club."

"Its not called that!" Schu said. "It's the Online Gamers Club."

Heero smiled brightly, "you play?"

"Ever Quest," Schu admitted, "and I'm involved in a Mah Jong torment."

"Really, me too?"

"Mah Jong?" Yuki asked, quite perplexed.

"No, Ever Quest."

The entire table groaned.

"No, not you too!" Wufei cried.

"Don't fan the flames boy!" Nuriko yelled.

"Gawd save us all!" Hotohori added.

"God cant save us," Farfie said. "Dorky-middle-aged-husky-prematurity balding-living with mom-cant get a date-don't shower for weeks-men attached permantly to the glowing box because they can't get off the chair and cant find a date. God likes that kind of stuff."

"What?" Duo asked.

"I'm not balding! Ever!" Schu said. "And I'm not middle-aged!"

"Uniting of the dorks," Farfie said. "God likes unity. Even if it is to them."

"You make it sound like a cult. I thought you liked that kind of stuff," Duo said.

"Hum," Farfie said. "Interesting. A cult. Of the dork kind."

"I'm not a dork!" Schu yelled out. "Do you ever want to eat real food again?"

"Yes, I do."

"Then shut up about it."

"Fine." He turned to Duo with a sigh. "When I picked him up at the psychologist's office,I should of known something had to be wrong with him."

Hotohori nodded.

"I mean he was let out into public without a strait-jacket, there just isn't something right with that." [1]

*~*~*~*~*

It was finally Friday night, Duo was excited. During class all day he was overly hyper and decibels louder then normal.

"You've gone out to dinner with him every night this week Duo, what the hell are so excited for?"

"Because this is an actual-sort of-real-life date."

"Are you telling me that the rest was your imagination?" Farfie asked. "Pretty impressive. I can't even date in my head."

Duo sighed, "well, okay, it's not a real date, but you know."

"No I don't," Farfie said.

"Its kind of like one, and yet its not."

"Your crazy," Farfie said.

*~*~*~*~*

Duo skipped next door to Heero's just as Heero was just opening the door.

"Hi."

Heero was dressed in dark green cargo pants, a white dress shirt, and combat boots.

"You look nice," Heero told him with a smile.

Duo was dressed in tight black pants; a black shit with rhyme stones stuck to it, and black sneakers.

"Well you look yummy," Duo laughed.

"Define yummy," Farfie asked, stepping into the hall. "First hallucinations, now cannibalism. We're meant to be little Duo."

"What?" Heero asked.

"You could join me in my cage, it's big enough. We'd have lots of fun."

"We could be cell mates," Duo said.

"And even our voices can be friends."

Heero looked at them puzzled.

Duo laughed, "Were kidding Heero."

"I wasn't," Farfie said disappointed. "No one ever wants to play in my cage with me."

"I do," Schu said, stepping out into the hall.

"You don't count. You want to play everywhere."

"You've never complained before."

"Please," Duo said. "Let's just go now."

"Fine," Farfie said. "At least the voices still—tolerate me."

*~*~*~*~*

They went to Ranma's Pizza Hall for dinner. Nuriko, dressed in a bright red overalls, and a polka dot shirt was already sitting in their booth with a guy with long hair and a long red cape.

"I guess that's Vincent," Duo said.

"Look, the capped avenger shares Nuriko's taste in bad style," Farfie pointed out.

The only other person with them was Hotohori.

"Hey guys," Duo said, sliding into the seat next to Hotohori. Heero sat next to him and Schuldich and Farfie sat next to Nuriko and his new boyfriend.

"Everyone this is Vincent," Nuriko said. "Vincent this is Duo, Heero, Schuldich and Farfarello."

"Ohh—longer then five days," Schu whispered to Farfie. "New record."

"Juggling twelve was better."

"Hey, nice to meet you," Duo said.

"The pleasure," Vincent said, "is all mine."

The doors opened and Zechs and a girl with short dark hair walked in. Zechs looking dashing in a black tux, and the girl he was with was in a long black dress.

"Wow, you clean up nice," Farfie said.

"Were going to Noin's aunt's wedding."

"And you came for pizza?"

"I still eat."

The doors opened again and a student with long white hair and tall platform shoes walked in. he wandered over towards their table.

"God is coming. We must destroy him." The boy handed each of them a pamphlet.

"You do not like God?" Farfie asked.

"No."

Farfie smiled.

"I must go and spread the word," he said, then nodded and walked back out the doors and down the street. Farfie stood up and Schu grabbed his shirt.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Being with me hurts God enough."

"So, I'm with you all the time. Being with him hurts God too."

Schu sighed, "sit."

Farfie sat.

"Who was that?" Heero asked.

"He's a senior like me," Hotohori said. "Rosial. Gawd he's weird. Anti-Religious Freak."

"My hero," Farfie said.

"Who's his hero?" a tall woman with brown hair asked.

"Hey Sal, where's Wu?" Schu asked.

"Bathroom."

"Oh, hey Noin, Sally. I'd like you to meet Heero. Heero Yuy this is Luraciza Noin and Sally Po. Noin is Zechs girlfriend and Sally is Wufei's."

"Nice to meet you," Sally said with a huge smile. "New to Mayfly?"

Heero nodded.

"Well I'm sure you'll have fun. The gangs pretty cool."

"Are you two dating?" Noin asked.

"Gawd Noin, be blunt," Sally said.

"She's been around Zechs too long," Farfie muttered, still pouting that Schu wouldn't let him go with Rosial.

"No," Duo said. "Not really, but kind of."

Farf looked at them and blinked. "I still don't understand."

"No," Duo said again. "I'm just playing his date for tonight."

"That's too bad."

"Yeah," Noin added, "he's cute."

Duo sighed.

"Sorry Heero. Everyone sort of teases everyone else. Don't be offended. They've all pretty much know one another since elementary school."

It was then Schu and Nuriko started laughing.

"The Casanova of Kindergarten," they both said pointing at each other and then laughing again.

Farfie starting smiling, Hotohori and Noin started laughing and Duo thunked his head against the table.

"What?" Heero asked.

"When Duo was little he was the little charmer," Sally said. "It's his running nickname."

Schu still laughing looked at Heero. "You see Duo's always gotten all the attention. High school girls would come up to him and tell him how cute he was and how'd they wish he would grow up faster."

"And that one guy in fifth that sent Duo flowers and candy almost every day."

Farfie starting giggling.

"Well we all thought Duo would land a boyfriend or girlfriend first. Considering he started looking in Kindergarten."

"Hey! They went after me!" Duo said.

"And, well he hasn't."

Everyone went off on a fit of giggle again.

Duo sighed.

The doors opened and Yohji and Gojyo walked in.

"Fess up, you did it!" the blond grumbled as they made their way to the table.

"I did not Yohji."

"Whatever Gojyo."

"What now?" Nuriko asked rolling his eyes.

"He stole my pack of cigarettes, again."

"I did not!" Gojyo yelled, taking a seat at the table. "you probable misplaced them again."

"Did not!"

"Did too."

The pair stared at each other. Yoji sighed and placed his hands in his pocket. "Hey," he said pulling out a pack of cigarettes. "I found them."

"Idiots," Zechs said.

"Told yeah," Gojyo said with a grin. He turned to Heero.

"So your on your little date?" Yohji asked with a laugh.

"Can we all just drop it already. No ones bugged Vincent or anything."

"Its Nuriko," Schu, Hotohori and Wufei replied at once.

"So Casanova on a date," Yohji said. "Congrats."

Duo sighed.

"Speaking of Casanova, I ran into Messiah the other day. He asked about you Duo. He's in collage now."

"I don't care," Duo said. "I hate that guy."

Schuldich glared. "I swear if that punk ever comes around again I'm going to kill him."

*~*~*~*~*

Schuldich turned around to face them a they walked down the street to the movie house. "What movie should we go to?"

"Something sick. How 'bout a Disney flick," Farfie spoke up. [2]

"No."

"Your no fun. Disney hurts god."

"How?"

Nuriko piped up, "Let's go to that new that new Anne Rice movie." [3]

"Sure," Schuldich agreed. "Everyone okay with that?"

Duo, Heero, Nuriko, and Vincent nodded. Farfie smiled at Schu then skipped over and latched to his arm.

Schu rolled his eyes.

*~*~*~*~*

After they paid for their tickets they still had forty minutes until the movie was to start. Heero and Schu were in the extremely long lines to get pop and stuff for the movie.

"Want some Skittles?" Nuriko asked pulling a pack out from inside his jacket. [4]

Farfie held out his hands and Duo nodded.

"Yummy. Taste the rainbow!" Farfie said with a smile.

Duo sighed as Nuriko poured some into his hands.

A second later Farfie dropped a red Skittle on the floor.

"Ten second rule!"

"Farfie no."

They all sat for a moment when Farfie spoke up again. "I wonder if anyone will step on it."

Duo, Nuriko, Vincent, and Farfie all turned to look at the ground. They watched as people walked all around it.

"Close," Nuriko said as one man got closer then any of the others so far."

"Let's add a new one!" Farfie dumped a green Skittle, a yellow Skittle, and a purple Skittle on the floor.

"Not a purple. That's the best color," Duo said.

A woman with a high heal shoe walked over the red Skittle but didn't hit it."

"Ha!" Nuriko said. "That was so close."

"No ones even getting close to the yellow one."

Just then a woman in tall boots walked over the red Skittle and skidded over the floor.

"Cool!" Nuriko said.

"Finally," Duo pointed out.

Vincent shook his head.

"She didn't crack her head open," Farfie said. "What a waste."

They watched the Skittles for a few more moments.

"Red is the best on floors," Farfie pointed out. "Those stupid green ones do nothing, and the yellow ones only get kicked."

They were all startled as Heero and Schu came walking up to them with their hands full of soda, candy, and popcorn.

"Why are you guys looking at the floor?"

"The fancy tile design?" Farfie asked.

"No reason," Duo said.

Just then a man in cowboy boots walked by, slipped on a Skittle and fell to the floor.

"Hah! Red!" Farfie yelled.

"Their calling our movie," Schu said. "Time to go Farfie."

Farfie pouted, but allowed him self to be dragged away as people rushed to the aid of the fallen man on the floor. [5]

*~*~*~*~*

They were all sitting in a row in one of the back levels of the movie theater. Nuriko, Vincent, Heero, Duo, Schu, and then Farfie.

"There isn't a lot of people here," Schu pointed out.

"I don't think that would stop Nuriko," Duo said as Duo, Heero, Schu, and Farfie turned to look over at Nuriko and Vincent, who were occupying themselves.

"No, I don't think so."

The lights dimmed and Duo turned his attention to the screen. Sometime during the previews Schu had kicked his arm. He looked over and Farfie and Schu were busy playing tonsil hockey.

Duo turned to Heero who was starring at him.

"This happens every time. Want to sit somewhere else?"

Heero nodded.

They got up walking past Schu and Farfie.

"Not the floor," Schu groaned, "Sticky."

Duo sighed.

They walked to the front of the almost empty theater. Every once in a while they could here one of their friends.

"This is getting annoying," Duo said. "Want to leave?"

"Sure."

They walked out of the theater and threw the lobby and out into the chilled night air.

"Sorry."

"It's not your fault Duo."

"Yeah. True. It's just that I'm use to going out places and well being the one not shoving my tongue down someone's throat. I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable around them. They're all pretty cool guys in their own ways."

"I really do like your friends. You guys act like you've know each other since forever."

"Pretty much," Duo said. "Mayfly is a twelve year school, just different buildings. It's one of the best schools in Japan. Some say the world. It ranks about four or five. Most of us have been going since day one. I've always known Schu though. His mom and my mom were friends. His mom left when we were in third. She hated his father."

Heero nodded.

"Our group was pretty much formed by second grade. "Schu, Nuriko, Karma, Hei, Gojyo, Yohji, Wufei, Zechs, Yuki, and me. Hotohori was in our group, but he's a grade older then us. And Quatre. He was in our group too."

"What about Farfie?"

"We didn't meet Farf until middle school. Schu's dad is a shrink. Farf is one of his patients. That's how they met. Schu had to go to his dad's office and he met this kid sitting in a cage outside the door. He started dating Farf because his dad would hate it. But now they really do like each other a lot."

Heero nodded.

"So what do you want to do now?'

Duo shrugged his shoulders.

"We could go back to my room and watch a movie their. Karma is never there."

"I wonder where he was tonight. Friday nights at Ranma's has been a tradition since third grade."

"Third? Wow, that's a long time."

"Honestly it doesn't seam like that long ago when our parents would all drop us off and pick us up later. Or when we finally go to ride our bikes there instead of being chaperoned." Duo smiled. "A movie at your room sounds like fun."

*~*~*~*~*

Duo walked into his dorm as quietly as possible.

"Where were you?" Schu said flicking on the lights.

"Next door watching a movie," Duo said tossing off his shoes and falling on to his bed. Farfie stuck his head out from underneath Schu's and waved.

"It sucks watching a movie when your best friend and his boyfriend are kicking you in the head while trying to devour each other at a movie. And let me tell you, Nuriko is loud."

"You should have joined in," Farfie said.

Schu glared.

"Or not."

"Schu, why are you so worried about me and Heero?"

"Your too young to do things.'

"Schu! You're my age."

Schu looked confused. From under the bed a light flashed.

"Okay, so you're right."

"See," Duo said. "I'm a big kid now. Leave me in peace."

"I can't guarantee peace," Schu said. "But I wont comment about it anymore.'

"Two days top," Farfie muttered.

~Du's Babbling beyond what you wanted to know but didn't know you needed to ask~

[1] Im not making fun of Ever Quest. I promise. It just seemed like a fun thing for Schu and Heero to share. And I actually have this thing all planed out…remember chapter one.. anyhow.. yeah.. Go EQ! Oh yeah…by the way… disclaimer..I do not own Ever Quest. That's right folks…heard it here first…

[2] I don't own Disney. And to be very honest, I don't really like Disney…That's what happens when you are raised with Asian cable your whole life.

[3] I don't own Anne Rice. She owns herself…

[4] Skittles.. not owned by me..but eaten by me!! They are yummy!! Skittles. Taste the Rainbow!

[5] This is how Jenai, Q, and I entertained ourselves while waiting to watch Lord of the Rings (I love that movie!!!!) by watching the Skittles I dropped on the floor and seeing if anyone would step on them… Red does indeed get stepped on more then the others… No one was hurt during the trials of this experiment…sadly.
