Here's Chapter 4. I'm starting to run out of ideas.....Man, this is starting to suck. Anyone have any suggestions? If so, email me at BadCabbit@cuteandcuddly.com Your suggestions would be highly appreciated. And I would mention the person that gave me the ideas, rest assured. I would never use someone's suggestions and not tell who's idea it was. That's unethical. Is that how you spell that? I'm not sure. Well, I'm done with my talking so now you can sit back, get a snack maybe, and enjoy this chapter of this story! Have fun and I'll see you at the end! TTFN!

The drive home from the mall was a quiet one. Rini and Hotaru were furious. The children were all looking at the floor, scared to make one slight movement that would upset Rini and Hotaru after the stunt they'd just pulled. Man, where they going to be in trouble when they got home.

"Why did you do it, Duo," Rini asked desperately, wanting to know what had possessed the five-year-old to do what he did.

"I don't know," he mumbled.

"And Heero," Rini said. "I never thought that you would go along with his tricks and pranks."

"I'm sorry," Heero sniffled.

"Lita, I'm very dissapointed in you," Rini said, rounding on the small brunette. "I would have thought that you knew better."

Lita immedately burst out into tears. Her wails were enough to give Serena's a run for their money. Heero, who was seated beside her, patted her shoulder and helped to dry her tears.

"It's alwight, Lita," he said soothingly. "It wasn't your fault. I per-per-per- What's that word?"

"Persuaded," Hotaru said gently.

"Yeah, that's it," Heero said with a smile. "I per-per-persuaded you to come along with us. It's all my fault."

"Thank you, Heero," Lita said with a smile. "I don't blame you. I love you, Heero!"

Once more, she kissed his cheek. And once again, he wiped at his cheek furiously.

"I'm gonna die of girl cooties," he cried.

The limo pulled to a stop and Rini and Hotaru unbuckled all ten of the little ones and told them to go play in the backyard.

"I still can't believe what they did at the daycare," Rini said as they watched Lita skip off to the backyard, clasping tightly to Heero's small hand.

"I know," Hotaru sighed. "We owe them twenty-five kindermats, twelve tables, thirteen jungle gym things, and I wonder if that lady's hair will ever be the same."

"I'm not sure," Rini said, stiffling a small giggle. "After they tied her to that chair with all of that toilet paper and put all of that crazy-glue and ink and the choclate pudding in her hair, you have to wonder if SHE'LL ever be the same again."

"I know," Hotaru laughed.

"Oh, hello, Wufei," Rini said, just noticing the small Chineese boy standing beside her and looking up into her face. "Is here something you need?"

"No," Wufei said, smiling and shaking his head. "I just wanted to come with you."

"Alright, you can be our little helper," Rini said, taking his small hand into hers.

"Hey," Mina said, standing in the yard with her hands on her hips. "Where are you going with my Wufei?"

"We were just going to go inside and maybe make some cookies," Rini said with a smile.

"Do you want to come too, Mina," Wufei asked, holding out his other hand to her.

"Wherever my Wufei goes, I go," she said, clinging to his arm possessively.

Rini and Hotaru giggled as they watched Mina cling to his hand and drag him into the house. They were so cute together and seeing Wufei act normal was definatly worth it.

The kids played happily in the backyard. Rei and Quatre were building a sand castle in the sand box, talking happily. Trowa had a cupcake halfway to his mouth when he noticed Serena watching the tiny choclate morsel with hungry eyes. Gently, he broke it in half and gave her the bigger half. She smile and stuffed it into her mouth, muttering a thank-you around it. When she kissed his cheek, the small boy smiled.

Duo was trying to climb a tree and Ami was watching with intense intrest. When he stepped on a rotten branch and tumble to the ground, she rushed to his side.

"Are you alright, Duo," she asked, concerned.

"Yeah, I'm OK. I just have a boo-boo on my arm," he said, holding out his arm to show her the scratch.

"Hold on," she said. Then she kissed the boo-boo.

"What'cha do that for," Duo asked, looking from his scratch to her.

"You had a boo-boo so I kissed it better for you," she explained joyfully.

Mina and Wufei were soon run out of the kitchen for making more mess than helping. They joined Rei and Quatre in the sandbox and chatted happily with the other two small kids.

Soon, Duo was playing tag with Ami and he made the huge mistake of running through the sandbox and trampling Wufei's part of the castle. Wufei quickly jumped to his feet and started chasing Duo, hitting the little America on the head with a stick. Everyone else looked on for a few minutes then went back to what they were doing.

The children played for five more minutes before Hotaru and Rini called them back in for dinner. All of them stampeded in and climbed into chairs. They looked around hopefully for their food, which didn't come in the first three mintues. Duo started banging on the table with his fork and spoon and soon the others followed his lead.

"We want food," all ten little voices chanted in unison.

"Here's your food," Rini said in a frustrated tone as she sat a big platter of spagetti down in the middle of the table. Duo immedately dove at it and started to shove the food into his mouth. Rini pulled him back and sat him in his chair while Ami giggled. She dished them each out some of the delicious food and left them to eat so she could help Hotaru get the mess in the kitchen under control.

The next dish that was served was greenbean cassarol. Some of the kids didn't care much for it, but the others did. Lita was putting another forkful of the delicious dish into her mouth when some hit her in the side of the face. With her mouth hanging open, she turned to face Heero.

"Did you just flick food at me, Heero Yuy," she asked.

Heero, who was still holding his fork up, smiled at her mischeviously and flicked another forkful at her. This time she ducked and it hit little Quatre right in the face. Lita grabbed a handful of her spaghetti and flung it at Heero. It hit him in the head and went all over his face.

"FOOD FIGHT," Duo bellowed, throwing his whole plate of greenbean cassarol at Wufei.

The food fight was on. Food was flying in every direction. The kids were getting hit and throwing food as if there were no tomorrow. Soon, they started throwing their drinks in each other's faces as well. Applejuice was all over the walls, making the food run down the perfect white walls.

Hotaru backed into the room, carrying a large cheescake, and soon slipped on some noodles and fell. Luckily, the cake landed upright on the table, totally unharmed.

Wufei rushed foward and grabbed two handfuls of the sweet confection. He stuffed one handful into his mouth and chucked the other at the back of Trowa's head. Trowa ducked and it hit Mina square in the face. She wiped the cake off of her face and tackled Wufei.

Rini soon came in to see what all of the noise was about, and almost tripped over Hotaru. She almost had a heart-attack when she saw what was going on.

"KNOCK IT OFF THIS INSTANT," she roared over the clatter.

Everyone froze in their place. Heero, who was in the middle of smooshing cake into Lita's hair, looked around. Everyone looked at him expectantly.

Rini helped Hotaru to her feet and began drilling the teenager for answers. Hotaru explained all of what happened, and as Rini turned to face the children once more, Hotaru scooped up some of the food lying on the floor and tapped Rini on the shoulder. Rini turned and got a facefull of spaghetti, greenbean cassarol and cheesecake mixed together. All of the kids gasped and waited for Rini's response.

"Alright, if that's how you want to play, Miss Thang," Rini said, wiping the food out of her face. She grabbed the bowl of fruitcocktail that she was bringing in and dumped all of it's contents onto Hotaru's head. The food fight was once again started.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

After the food fight ran it's course and everyone was tired out, Rini and Hotaru ushered the children upstairs. The kids were dead on their feet so the two teenagers had to bathe them and get them into their p.j's. When Duo caught sight of his pajamas, he wasn't all that pleased.

"I don't wanna wear lamb pajamas," he protested, trying to pull the hood of the pajamas off. Duo, Heero, and Wufei were the three guys who had to wear lamb p.j's. Trowa and Quatre got bunny pj's. Serena and Rei got lamb p.j's. Ami, Lita and Mina got bunny p.j's. The girls had small sugar-pink ribbons at the necks and the boys had small babyblue ribbons at the necks.

Lita yawned and climbed up into the sleeping bag that she was sleeping in. Heero climbed into the sleeping bag beside hers and she snuggled closer to him. That night, all of the kids were having a campout in the huge living room and Rini and Hotaru were sleeping on the huge pullout sofa so they would be close at hand if anything were to happen.

Destiny peerd in on the twelve people in the mansion to see how things were going. As the food fight came onto the screen and played in perfect detail, Destiny started laughing so hard that she fell off of her seat and had to clutch her sides since they felt like they were going to split.

Her mother, Fate, soon came into the room to see what all of the commotion was about. Destiny quikly hid the looking glass and sat back up at her vanity.

"Destiny," Fate said in a curious tone, skimming the room with her intellegant eyes, "is there someone in here with you?"

"No, Mother," Destiny said in her most innocent tone, brushing her long brown hair casually. "Why would you think that?"

"Well, because I heard laughter and voices," Fate said.

"That was me, Mother," Destiny said. "I was looking in on the mortals again."

"Oh," Fate said, smiling at her child. "Well, next time, honey, keep the noise down. I was trying to conentrate."

"On what, Mother," Destiny asked, turning to face her mother.

"Something has disturbed the tapestary of life," she said in an off-hand voice. "Well, good night, dear child."

Destiny paled at her mother's statement. Her mother would kill her if she found out about her practical joke. But, the funniness of this situation brought the smile back to Destiny's face. Now it wasn't only a practical joke on the mortal. The game had evolved. Now there was the challange of keeping this a secret from her ever-watchful mother. How fun this was turning out to be!
