Chapter Seven

"Alright you guys just go to this one house, I'll be back as soon as I can. Now are you sure Heero ran back to that little old lady's house?" Sally asked.

Duo nodded.

"Something about leaving his weapon there or something. You know how crazy that kid is. He didn't even have a weapon other than his dinky nun chucks!" he said.

Sally began to walk off. "Just go to this house and stay right here when you're done and don't cause any trouble!"

"Okay!" the group called.

Duo poked Wufei.

"Hey beef and broccoli, why aren't you going after her? I mean, a girl as fine as that needs some protection wouldn't you say?"

Wufei's eyes widened.

"Yes! For once you are right you American scum."

Wufei ran off after Sally. Duo casually took Wufei's abandoned candy bucket and added all of it's contents into his pillow case.

Meiran grunted.

"Stupid American woman." she said. "I'll beat that slut up if she tries anything on MY man."

Duo ate a piece of licorice.

"Jealous?"

"Ha! Don't make me laugh!" Meiran flipped her hair. "Wufei is replaceable."

"So then why are you mad at Sally if you don't want Wufei to begin with?" Catherine asked.

"It's the principle of the matter."

"Like?" Hilde asked.

"You're too young to understand."

"Try me."

"Alright." Meiran glared at the group. "For far too long you Americans have been stealing from us. I will not allow it to progress any further, understand?"

Silence.

Duo nodded his head. "Um, yes, I don't understand."

"I'm not even American. I'm German." Hilde said.

"Trowa and I are half Spaniard and half French." Catherine smiled.

Dorothy tilted her head to the side.

"I'm just rich."

"Me too." Quatre smirked.

Meiran resisted the urge to punch every last one of them to a bloody pulp.

"-You six are the most idiotic kids that I have ever come across in my life! I will pray to the Gods to make you all suffer horrible, slow deaths. I laugh at your soon to be pain. Ha ha!-" She began to walk to the house.

Hilde shook her head.

"There she goes. Talking in Panda Express language again."

The tiny unsupervised group made their way to the porch.

"Trick or Treat!" the g-dudes and girls said.

"Aww. You kids look so cute. Here ya go." a middle aged man gave them all a few pieces of candy.

Hilde frowned.

"Excuse me but, how do I know that you didn't put anything, poisonous in these things?"

"What?" the man asked.

Hilde took out the piece of candy that he had just gave her.

"Look at this. Does this look like a good piece of candy?" she asked angrily.

"Huh..."

"Of course not! Look at it!" she threw it at his head. "The wrappers all crumpled and the chocolate is leaking through which means it's melted! What the hell is wrong with this street?! Do you even know what a good piece of candy looks like? Well?! Do you?!"

The man tried to close the door. Hilde put her foot down to stop him.

"I'm not done yet buster! Quatre!" Hilde called.

Quatre came up.

"Yes?"

"Give me your bucket of candy!"

"Okay." Quatre smiled and handed her his bucket.

Hilde went through it and pulled out a chocolate bar. She shook it in her hands.

"Now look here! This is a fine piece of candy. This," she held up another chocolate bar he had given her, "isn't. Got it? Jeez! What the hell is wrong with people on this street?"

"Yeah! First the old lady with the pennies, then that other lady was giving out tooth brushes, now this punk is giving us Pic 'N Save used candy!" Duo waved his hands about.

"But I like the lady who gave us the tooth brushes. Mine is a dinosaur!" Quatre cheered.

Duo shook his head at Quatre.

"Man, you obviously don't know anything about Halloween."

"Huh..." the man stood at the door waiting for Hilde to remove her foot.

Hilde glanced at him.

"What?"
"Can you move your foot so I can close my door, please little girl?"

Hilde's eye twitched.

"Little girl?"

Catherine took a step back.

"Come on guys. I don't care if he gave us bad candy, let's just go. Right Trowa?"

Trowa shook his head and pulled out a knife and stood next to Duo.

Duo smirked.

"That's the spirit!"

"This is annoying!" Meiran yelled. "Do you have to criticize every house we go to just because you're not happy with a piece of candy?"

"Duh!" Hilde and Duo yelled.

"Argh!" Meiran gripped her head in frustration.

"It's a shame you know." Dorothy sat on the porch.

"What is?" Catherine asked.

"Duo and Hilde would make great rich snobs." Dorothy sighed. "If only they weren't poor white trash."

"I'll ignore that fuzzy face." Duo said glaring at Dorothy.

The man tried to close the door on Hilde's foot. Hilde started to cry which caused a bunch of adults walking their children across the street to look up in surprised.

The man quickly opened the door again as Hilde cried harder.

"Now you've gone and done it!" Duo scolded the man. "You made her cry!"

"I hope you're happy!" Dorothy shouted.

"But I didn't do anything! I swear, I didn't even touch her!"

"That's not what we saw." Duo said evilly. "You were trying to pull her into your house and she didn't want to go so you hit her! Child abuser!"

"No I didn't!" the man cried.

"We all saw it." Dorothy said.

"But-"

"Run adults!" Duo looked to the people in the streets. "This man wants to hurt your children! Run! Run I say!"

The man quickly grabbed Duo to shush him.

"AH! Help me!! Rape! Battery! Assualt!"

The man panicked and let Duo go.

"Please be quiet!" He whispered. "I'll do anything. I promise."

Duo raised an eyebrow.

"Anything?"

"Yes, anything!"

"Okay. Hilde, he agrees."

Hilde stopped crying.

"A new record!"

The man almost fell from shock.

Duo grabbed the guy by the tie and lead him back into his house.

"Now let's talk about you doing anything..."

(If any of you found that to be a sexual reference, you got one sick mind! O.o)
