gasp Shock, dismay! I don't own these people! They're just on loan for me
to play with. Hehe.
I apologize to all of you who think the scouts were mean to poor Heero. I promise you though, they will come to understand later and they will not be so mean to him. You must admit though, if you ran into a guy who came across as a prickly porcupine, you'd probably feel the same way Rei does initially. But everything will work out in the end, I promise! Cross my heart and hope to self-detonate.
P.S.-I made up the game Nuclear Planet. I know of no such video game in existence, but if there is I don't own it either.
Enjoy!
Heero yawned slightly, opening his eyes, wondering why he hadn't heard the alarm go off yet. As his senses slowly started to wake up with the rest of him, he realized why. Burrowed into the pillow next to his head was a still sleeping Lita. Smiling to himself, he wondered if she was feeling any better this morning.
"You're staring," she mumbled, brushing some hair out of her eyes.
"Could be. But I thought you were asleep."
"You're not the only one who can be sneaky you know." Yawning slightly, Lita rolled over onto her back.
"I'll remember that."
"Good," she said with a grin, stretching a little. "But I am a little curious about this. I mean.it just doesn't seem like you to do something like this, or this either.." Lita turned onto her side, lifting up a silky green article of clothing that had been discarded barely 5 minutes after being taken out of the box.
"It was you that said we hadn't seen each other in four months. Is it so hard to believe that I could miss you so much in short a time?"
"Well, I guess not. Just seems that you'd be using your energy for more important things then missing me.like your mission?"
"As if I can't do two things at once," he said.
Lita laughed. "Ok, ok. Point taken."
Heero smiled. "Now that I've won, how about breakfast?"
"As if.I gave you something last night. I'm not making your breakfast too," she teased.
"Then maybe you'll show me where I can get some?" he asked, brushing a finger down her cheek.
"I think I can do that," she giggled in reply.
A little while later, they had left the hotel and were having the "long anticipated" breakfast at a small diner down the street. Their conversation was interrupted by a ringing noise. "Oh now what?" Lita grumbled, reaching into her purse and pulling out her cell phone. "Hello..Serena?....What's wrong?....Well, I don't know, but I can ask. Just a sec." She set the phone down on the table.
"Who is it and what do they want from me?"
"Haha Heero, very funny," Lita answered. "It's Serena. Her parents decided to go out for the day and want her to watch her brother Sammy, but she's going nuts with boredom because all Sammy's doing is playing video games so she asked if I would mind coming over to help out. She invited you too."
"Well, I'm not much for playing babysitter, but I guess this is a good diplomatic opportunity."
"Trust you to say something like that." Laughing, she picked up the phone again. "Hey Serena, we'll be over as soon as we finish breakfast ok?....Yes, as in both of us. See you soon." She hung up and put the phone away. "Thanks for agreeing Heero.I mean, I don't think it will be very exciting for you."
He shrugged. "She's your friend. I have a feeling she'd go out of her way to help you, or any of us if we needed anything."
Lita smiled. "If only everybody could see you like this.."
"Except Duo..I don't need him to ruin my reputation," Heero said with a slight smirk.
Laughing, the two of them finished off their meal. After a stop at the shrine to get rid of the bags from the night before. Then, making use of public transportation, combined with a little foot-power, they then made their way to Serena's house. Lita knocked on the door.
It opened to reveal the blonde's cheerful face. "Hi guys!" she smiled broadly. "You have no idea how happy I am to see you two. Come on in!" She ushered her guests inside, shutting the door behind her and showing them to the living room. "If you guys want to sit down, I'll go get my brother.he can pry himself away from his video games long enough to say hi." She left the room, coming back a couple minutes later dragging one little brother along with her.
"Aww come on Serena.."
"Be nice."
Sammy rolled his eyes. He'd much rather be playing his game then saying hi to one of his big sister's "dumb" friends. "Hi," he said. "Ok, I said hi.can I go back and play now?"
"No!" Serena exclaimed. "I want to introduce you to someone first. Lita brought her fiancé with her today. His name is Heero Yuy. Heero, this monster here is my brother Sammy."
Sammy looked at Heero. "Gee, do you hire yourself out at Halloween to parties? 'Cause I bet you're great at scaring kids."
"Sammy!" Serena quickly slapped a hand over his mouth, fighting to keep it there while he squirmed free.
Heero raised an eyebrow. "No, I'm not a monster for hire. I'm a soldier."
"No way.." Sammy kind of stared for a minute before continuing. "Say, you don't happen to play video games do you?"
"Not really. But I do play the occasional battle sim. It's good training."
"You ever play Nuclear Planet?"
"Yeah, I've played that one. It' one of the more challenging sims I've played. Why?"
"I keep getting stuck at this one part where you have to assassinate the head of the enemy nation."
Heero thought for a minute. "Have to get him to open the briefcase with the bomb in it and get out before he does open it."
"Yeah!" Sammy exclaimed. "Some loser aide keeps opening it up before I get out so I keep blowing up."
"Don't remind me," Serena groaned. "Every time he dies I can hear his frustrated thumping and yelling all over the house."
"Serena! Stop telling stories."
"I'm not," she said, sticking her tongue out.
"Are too!" Sammy stuck his tongue out at her.
Heero looked at Lita.
"Don't worry. They do this all the time," she said.
As soon as there was an interlude in the impromptu arguing match, Heero interjected. "If you want some help, I could show you."
"Really?" Sammy grinned manically as he headed upstairs to his room, Heero following behind. "Finally, I will kill you Adophius!"
Serena shook her head as they left. "I hope he beats him.I'm tired of having all the pictures in my room shake every time he blows up."
"Poor Serena.maybe I'll just have to make some double chocolate chip marshmallow cookies to make her feel better."
"I was hoping you'd say that," she grinned guiltily.
Laughing, Lita and Serena made their way into the kitchen. A couple of hours later there was a nicely cooled supply of cookies. "You know," Serena said as she munched on a cookie. "I haven't felt any earthquakes this afternoon.."
"It has been pretty quiet," Lita agreed.
Jus then there was a crashing noise, followed by Sammy poking his head in the kitchen. "I thought I smelled cookies!"
"I really shouldn't let you have any before lunch.it will spoil your appetite."
"You're eating one," he pointed out. "But then again nothing could spoil your appetite could it Serena?"
"I'll get you for that!" She immediately started chasing him around the kitchen. "Come back here you fungus!"
"Hey you two!" Lita called out. "If you wanna eat then you're gonna have to chase each other somewhere else. Can't make anything with you two running around in here."
Sweatdropping, the two siblings sat down at the table while Lita fixed lunch. Heero made his appearance just as Lita set the plates on the table. "Good timing, as usual."
"Naturally," he replied.
The four shared some conversation during their meal. Afterwards, Heero and Sammy disappeared back upstairs.but not before stealing a few cookies on the way out. Lita and Serena did the dishes, spending the rest of the afternoon in idle chatter while the boys hammered away at enemy troops. Of course, they couldn't stay all day and early that evening the four said their good-byes.
As they were leaving, Sammy suddenly piped up. "Come back and visit any time Heero. You're the best baby-sitter ever!" he declared, waving good-bye with a huge grin on his face.
Heero smiled a little, waving back as he and Lita headed toward down the street. "You know, I'm glad we came today."
Lita smiled. "I'm glad. You did make friends with Sammy awful fast. Why didn't you tell me you were so good with kids?" She elbowed him.
He shrugged. "I don't know that I'm all that good with kids. But I do know that if I had never been trained, I could have turned out just like him...."
Lita kissed his cheek. "I think you're more like him then you think."
