Chapter Five

"Hmm..." Duo looked around.

"What's wrong?" Sally asked.

"Nothing really, it's just," Duo scratched his head, "This neighborhood seems very familiar to me."

"Maybe you spent the night in the street here once." Dorothy smirked.

"Shut your trap." Duo snapped.

"Guys!" Sally yelled. "What'd I say earlier?"

"Um, Duo, if you throw those eggs, so help me, I'll rip your hands off?" Hilde tilted her head to the side.

"Eh, before that." Sally sighed.

"You said, and I quote, 'Let's try to get through the night without any fights or death threats.' End quote." Quatre said as a matter-of-factly.

"Yes, thank you Quatre."

Duo poked Quatre.

"Suck up."

"Excuse me Miss Sally, but why is a beautiful woman, such as yourself, giving up her Friday night to go trick and or treating with a bunch of disgusting children, with the exception of me and Quatre, of course." Wufei smiled.

Meiran glared at Sally.

Sally seemed taken aback but smiled back at Wufei.

"Why Wufei, that is very sweet. The only reason I gave up my night was because, well I get paid and..." she trailed off.

"Yes?" Wufei leaned towards her.

"Well..." Sally gripped her fist and glared, "Because my boyfriend cancelled our date and broke up with me and decided that some other chick, Mary Tithers, is better looking than me even though she picks her nose when no one is looking and smells like a pig!"

The kids took a few steps back as Sally took a few deep breaths.

"Hell knows no fury than a woman's hatred towards an ex boyfriend..." Trowa said slowly.

Sally smacked herself and coughed.

"Anyways, that's why I'm here." she smiled.

Wufei nodded and took Sally's hand into his.

"What a fool your ex boyfriend was to break up with such a magnificent angel but at the same time, I am happy that you are now single." Wufei said sweetly.

Sally blushed a little.

"Uh..."

Meiran grunted something and looked away.

Duo sighed.

"Would you quit hitting on older women?! I want to get my collection of treats before nine!"

"Silence American dog!" Wufei yelled. "Can't you see that our beautiful guide is hurt and needs guidance?"

"Well, I can guide her down the street so I can get my freakin' candy!"

"Screw that." Hilde stretched her arms. "If they're going to be sitting here all night making kissie face, let's just go off by ourselves!"

"Alright, calm down." Sally tried to get free from Wufei. "Let's go to that house on the corner."

"About time! Man, this is going to be a long night." Duo shook his head.

As they began to walk, Meiran kicked Sally in the knee.

"Ack! Hey!" Sally looked at Meiran surprised. "What'd you do that for?"

"Sorry, I didn't notice your fat leg was in my way." Meiran said storming off.

Sally frowned.

"Fat leg...? But I..."

"Oh great! You found someone to watch her." Noin smiled as Zechs came up to her.

Zechs blushed a bit.

"Yeah. Sure did... heh heh..."

"Oh no!" Noin stopped walking.

"What?" Zechs asked concerned.

"Look, across the street!" Noin tried to hide behind Zechs.

Zechs looked and gasped.

It was the dreaded Lady Une from their school. Though she may not look it, the poor girl had touretts that caused her schizophrenia.

"Man! I hate her." Noin whispered.

"What should we do?"

"Let's go the other way. Hurry."

"Hey Zechs and Noin!" Lady Une called.

"Damn it!" Noin cursed. She quickly smiled. "Oh hey Lady! I didn't see ya there. How are ya?"

Lady Une smiled.

"I'm fine. Are you guys going to my Trieze's Halloween party?"

"Um... yes?" Zechs said.

"Great! We can go together $%#@!#%%^#@!!!"

A wide eyed Zechs and Noin took a few steps back.

"Huh... you okay?"

"Um, what? Oh! Zechs and Noin! What are you doing here?"

Zechs and Noin almost fell backwards.

"Heh..."

"Are you going to Trieze's house?"

"Um... yeah..."

"Oh! Great, we can go together. Stupid damn %$#$##!!!"

"Let's run while we still have a chance." Noin whispered fiercely.

"What if she goes crazy like last time?"

~~~Last Time...

"Get back here you two! I wasn't done telling my story!" Lady Une held a knife and was chasing the two scared friends.

"Run! Run Noin!" Zechs screamed.

"I'm running as fast as I can!"

"Ack!" Zechs tripped.

"Get up and run fool! She's getting closer!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Hahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahaahha!!!!"

~~~Back To...

Zechs shivered. He had to get twenty five stitches for that little incident.

"Let's just try to get along with her. When we get to Triezes' house, we'll ditch her." he said.

"Alright, but if she tries anything, I'll kill you."

"Whatever."

"Zechs and Noin? What the hell are you doing here? I thought I told you to #$%@!~$%%%"

"This is going to take a long time..." Noin sighed.

~~~

"Trick or treat!" the little gundam guys and girls cheered.

"My how cute you all are. Here you go. One penny each." a little old lady said.

Duo looked at the penny and threw it back at the lady.

"What the hell? Are you trying to pull a fast one on me? That ain't no candy! That's a freakin' penny! Are you blind?"

"Yeah you old bag!" Hilde chimed in. "If you're going to give us money instead of candy, the least you can do is give us a damn twenty or even a check! I mean, what the hell can I buy with a stupid penny? This isn't the fifties!"

"How rude of you to-"

"How rude of me? How rude of you!" Duo threw his candy bag on the ground. "This is the one night I get to go door to door and get something for it! Do you know how traumatizing it can be for a little kid to go door to door and get nothing but one freakin' penny?!"

The old lady looked blankly at Duo and Hilde while the other kids stood there unsure of what to say.

Hilde shook her head.

"Forget it! You are probably so old that your brain is all mush and you can't even register what we just said. Go back to your oxygen tank!" she stormed off.

Duo picked up his bag while giving the lady an disgusted look.

"Hmph!" he followed Hilde.

Dorothy bowed to the old lady.

"Thank you for the penny even though I'm rich and can easily do without a worthless penny." she walked off.

Quatre bowed as well.

"Ditto. But I will keep this penny as a memento."

Catherine and Trowa just shrugged and followed the others. Meiran and Wufei just left shaking their heads leaving Heero alone with the old lady.

Heero looked at the old women and sighed. He took out his gun and shot her. He went into her purse and took a few hundred bills out then went to catch up with the others.

(Boy that's mean! o.o; Let that be a lesson to those who give out pennies to little children on Halloween!!!)
