AN: Well, here's the next chapter! I hope you like it and enjoy! By the way, I'm not uploading another chapter until I get more reviews. Sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, or the series would have been longer (Which it actually was in the original version... but we won't go there). I also don't own anything really in any of the chapters. (Except Mia. And the other girls hopefully own themselves...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After everyone was isomewhat/i awake, Li began to explain the day's plan. "Okay! Today is Em's birthday!" she began. "She's coming over for what she ithinks/i is a normal visit; but it's really going to be a surprise party! So what we have to do is decorate the living room, make the cake, get some presents and party supplies, and someone else needs to organize the games!"
Rebi jumped up and down. "I wanna decorate! I wanna decorate!"
"All right then! Rebi's on the decorating commity!" Li said. "Anyone else?"
"...I'll decorate too..." Trowa said.
"YAY!" yelled Rebi
"Mia and me'll work on the games!" Duo called. He paused, "If that's okay with you that is?"
Mia blushed slightly. "Uh, yeah, sure..."
"Great!" Duo grinned.
"I'll work on the cake," Li said.
"I'll help you!" Quatre said cheerfully.
"Great!" yelled Li. "That leaves Heero, Kio, and Wufei to do the shopping!"
Wufei snorted. "I am NOT going out shopping like a weak onna!"
Li looked at him angrily. "Fine, stay home. I have another use for YOU."
Wufei shrugged and walked outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"First thing on the list... the party food. Let's go," Kio said as her and Heero searched through the mall for the items on their list.
"Give me half of the list and I'll get those items," Heero ordered.
"No way, what if you run into OZ? Not a chance Hee-chan," Kio replied angrily.
"Fine," Heero muttered, feeling a bit un-comfortable around Kio.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I know! we can put streamers all over the celing!" Rebi shouted.
"Which colors do you want?" Trowa asked.
"Hm..." Rebi pondered. "Let's put up purple, yellow, and blue!"
Trowa and Rebi then began to hang the streamers all over the celing.
"WHEEEE!" Rebi yelled while throwing streamers all over the room. She unfortunately did not see the roll of streamers that was lying on the ground and she tripped. Trowa did a flip-type thing and caught Rebi when she was about five centimeters from being a serious carpet stain.
"You okay?" Trowa questioned, looking slightly worried.
Rebi blushed and picked herself up. "Uh... yeah."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia and Duo were racking their brains to try and figure out what games to play.
"How about..." Duo trailed off and whispered something in Mia's ear.
"DUO!" Mia yelled.
"What?" asked Duo innocently, though still grinning.
Mia sighed. "Well, we're gonna need some things then," Mia grinned evilly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Could you pass me that mixing bowl over there, Quatre?" Li asked, pointing to a metal bowl on the counter behind Quatre.
"Huh? Oh, sure," Quatre said, handing the bowl to Li.
"Thanks," Li said, finishing up with putting the cake in the over. "Now... we set the time and wait! Let's go find Wufei."
Quatre looked confused. "Why do we have to find Wufei."
Li began to walk around the house. "'Cause Em's gonna be so incredibly happy to see him! We gotta make him look like a present!"
Quatre followed Lia dn snickered. "I'm sure that he won't like that very much but, oh well!"
Quatre and Li found Wufei medetating out back.
"Hey Wufei!" Li called. "C'mere a sec! We need your help!"
Wufei sighed, mumbled something about 'baka onnas', and followed Li and Quatre into the house.
"Now close your eyes and stand still!" said Li. Wufei looked highly confused but did as he was instructed. Li grinned evilly and got out a big, white, fluffy bow, and stuck it on top of Wufei's head. "There! Now leave it on or Mia'll eat you!"
Wufei walked over to a mirror and glared angrily at the bow. he didn't touch it and headed outside.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Around 5o'clock in the afternoon, all the preparations had een completed. The living room was decked from corner to corner with purple, yellow, blue, and dragon-patterned streamers, balloons of all sorts of shapes and sizes, Japanese party lanturns, and spakles all over the place. the food, which was set up in the kitchen, consisted of about five different kinds of chips, six different kinds of pops, TONS of candies and chocolates, among many other things. The cake sat nicely on it's silver platter. It was a huge double layer chocolate cake decorated with small flowers and 'Happy Birthday Em!' was written on it.
"Okay guys, here's the plan," Li commanded. "When the doorbell rings, you all hide and I'll get the door. I'll lead Em into the living room and than's your cue to pop out and yell happy birthday!"
Everyone, even Wufei (who still had the bow on his head), agreed and ran off to hide just as the doorbell rang.
"Now everyone, shhhh!" Li said as she opened the door. "EMILY!" Li yelled, hugging her friend in the doorway. "It's so good to see you!"
"Good to see you too Lis. Where should I put my bags?" Emily asked after Li stopped hugging her.
(Quick Bio: Emily (AKA: Em); short dirty blondish hair, glasses; around 5'8")
"Let's take 'em into the LIVING ROOM!" Li yelled.
"Jeeze Li, I'm not going deaf you know," Em said as Li lead her into the living room.
"Well here we are going into the LIVING ROOM!" Li yelled once again.
Em looked confused. "What's going on..." she was interrupted by everyone jumping out and yelling 'SURPRISE!' "HOLY COOKIE SHEETS!" Em screamed. "Wow! Everyone's here! hey..." she muttered, seeing the pilots. She looked at the all suspiciously and began walking around and poking them all. "Who'd ya hire? Whoever they are, they're doing a good job."
Wufei looked angry. "We weren't 'hired' by anyone you baka onna!"
Em just stared. "It... it is you!" Then she began laughing.
Wufei was confused. "What's so funny?"
Em continued laughing. "How did they get that bow on your head?!"
Wufei growled. "They threatened me."
"Now," Mia shouted, "before there's any bloodshed, let's get on with the party!"
About an hour later, everyone had finished with eating and presents.
"All right!" yelled Duo. "Time for the games!"
Kio looked at Mia suspiciously. "What KIND of games Mia?"
Mia winked. "You'll see!" Mia walked over to a corner and brought over a box. "Now here is our first game!" Mia called, holding up the box. Across it, it read 'Twister'. "Now, I know this is a game that everyone's probably played before, but we've taken the librity and added some new itwists/i. First off, when someone calls something out like 'left hand red', you have to put your left hand on the FARTHEST un-occupied red circle. Also, since it gets HIGHLY confusing with a lot of people playing at once, we're going to play with two groups; girls versus guys. Each 'team' will pick a representitive for every turn. Everyone understand?" Everyone gave affermative answers so Mia and Duo bagan to set up the game.
The girls were all in a tight circle. "Who should go first?" pondered Li.
"I think Mia should, after all, she chose the game," Kio said. The girls all agreed and Mia walked onto the mat blowing kisses and waving to an imaginary crowd.
The guys were all in their crowded huddle. "Okay, they chose Mia. Does anyone actually WANT to go first?" Heero said.
"I'll go!" yelled Duo.
"You're on then," said Heero.
"Good luck Duo!" called Quatre.
"Who's gonna be the spinner?" questioned Mia.
"I will," said Em, taking the spinner and sitting down on one of the couches. "Left hand blue!" And the game was on!
About five minutes later, Mia was stretching her left foot over to yellow. "How did I wind up in this position..." she asked herself as she looked into Duo's face.
"Don't as me," Duo grinned, though obviously not as un-happy as Mia.
Mia was in a crab-like position (sorta like the bridge type thing) while Duo was over her, one foot red, one foot blue, one hand green. one hand yellow.
"Go Duo!" yelled Quatre.
"Come on Mia! You can last a little longer!" Rebi called out.
"Easy for you to say!" Mia yelled.
"Hurry up and finish this Maxwell," Wufei said, obviously getting annoyed at having to watch such stupidity.
Duo got an idea. "You got it then Wu-man!" Duo began to lean closer to Mia. Mia, fearing the worst, moved closer to the mat.
"Don't move another inch Mia! you'll be disqualified!" called Li.
Mia gulped but stayed still. She was hoping Duo would do the same, but instead, he did the opposite.
All the girls (except Mia) 'ooh'ed as Duo leaned down and kissed Mia on the lips. It was a full minute before Duo returned to his original position, a grin across his face, while Mia couldn't move if she had wanted to.
Mia had to move her left foot to green next, but her arms shook under her own weight and she fell.
Duo stood up in victory. "All right! I win!" he held a hand out to Mia.
"That was cheap..." mumbled Mia angrily, grasping Duo's wrist.
Duo pulled Mia up so that he could whisper into her ear. "I don't know about you, but I enjoyed it."
Mia blushed as Duo and herself went back to their representative sides.
"You were a little red in the face out there Mia," Kio teased. "Have a fever?"
Mia growled. "Shut up Kio."
"Now guys, no fighting. we need another person," Li said, pointing at Trowa, whom had been selected by his team.
"I'll go! Please!" pleaded Rebi.
"Be my guest," said Kio, moving so that Rebi could run off onto the mat.
The game passed on, and things got more jumbled.
"Uh oh, tie," said Em after a few more rounds. "And there's no more players."
Mia and Duo grinned evilly. "Oh yes there is!" They both yelled as they shoved Wufei and Em onto the mat, not to mention into eachother.
"Watch it onna!" Wufei grumbled, moving away from Em.
"Watch it yourself!" retorted Em.
"Okay guys!" Mia said, taking the place of the spinner. "Game on!"
After the game was over (girls won, only by about a second though) everyone was sitting around leisurly on the couches.
"Now what? Don't tell me that was the only game you two had planned," noted Kio.
"Of course not! There's more where that came from!" Mia said cheerfully. "But first, Duo, would you get the supplies?"
"Sure!" said Duo, running off somewhere.
"Now... the next game is one that I'm positive all of the girls know what it is," began Mia. "It's called... 'I've Never'."
"Oh no..." mumbled Li.
"Uh oh..." muttered Em.
"We're all gonna die," said Rebi.
