Chapter Ten
Duo stood in line for the movie with Quatre and Wufei. The braided boy was constantly looking around for the rest of the people they were going to see the movie with and to make sure that no one was going to cause trouble. If anyone was going to make trouble, he was ready to run as fair as possible. The two teens he was already with were trying to keep him from having a nervous breakdown, since they knew he did not like large crowds.
Quatre watched Duo out of the corner of his eyes. He did not like that the America was spending more time worrying about things then having fun. He'd hope that this would make him loosen up enough to remember some of the good things from his childhood. He began thinking that the only reason he wasn't remembering anything was because he was forcing himself. Wufei believed that the blonde teen was onto something with his belief.
They were currently in line for Garfield. Heero figured that if Duo saw a children's movie, then he'd remember some of the good things. Everyone was hoping that he'd remember seeing movies with everyone else or playing in the sandbox with everyone, shoving sand in each others faces, in their hair, and occasionally down their shorts. Although, they figured that he would at least remember going to the movies.
Duo was bouncing on his feet, looking frantically for Heero. Next to him, Wufei was biting his lip to keep from yelling at the braided brunette. They had been waiting in line for a little over fifteen minute and he was already agitated with the other boy's actions. However, whenever he went to make the other boy stop, the glare for Quatre would stop him. Sighing, the Chinese teen looked around for the rest of the teens that were too be in their group.
Feeling a hand clamp on his shoulder, Duo squeaked loudly and whirled on his feet, finding Heero standing behind him. He bit his lip, blushing softly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," Heero said.
Duo shook his head. "It's alright, I've been kinda jumpy all day," he stated.
"So, what movie are we seeing?" Treize asked.
"Garfield," Quatre answered. "It was the most childish thing showing."
Nodding, they all waited in line as it slowly inched forward. It was another fifteen minutes before they had their tickets then could wait in the lines for concessions. That didn't take as long, with everyone ordering a drink and either popcorn or candy. They handed over their little yellow and green tickets, getting directions before heading to the theatre. They took up seating towards the back of the room, each sitting next to their 'date.'
The braided American looked around at all of the children that were shouting at each other, having popcorn fights. He could see the innocence present in their eyes, shining brightly against the darkness of the theatre. The children's mothers attempted to get their rabid children under control with no avail. He couldn't help but smile at the defiance shown by the children.
As the movie started, Duo sunk down more into his seat. He watched as the previews rolled on, slowly giving way to the feature presentation. He stared at the screen, hypnotize by the talking orange cat that made witty comeback after comeback. He glanced around at everyone else in the theatre. Mothers were still trying to get their kids under control. Quatre and Treize would laugh occasionally, while Heero, Wufei, and Trowa would just stare, small smiles breaking out on their faces at times. Smiling softly, Duo slowly shut his eyes, listening to the movie.
"C'mon guys! I don't want to miss the movie!" A six year old Duo cheered, running into the theatre.
"Duo, slow down!" Quatre said, running in after him. It was Quatre's sixth birthday and his mother had decided to bring them all to a movie.
"But Quatre!" Duo whined, "I don't want to miss any of the movie!!"
"It doesn't start until later!" Heero stated.
"So?!" Duo retorted, sticking his tongue out at his Japanese friend.
Mrs. Winner smiled, escorting the five boys to their seats. "Okay, boys, you need to behave yourselves," she said softly.
"Okay, Mommy," Quatre said, climbing into his chair.
Duo smiled, bouncing in his chair. "I can't wait for the movie to start! You have the best birthdays, Quatre!"
"You've told us that already," Wufei stated, throwing some of his popcorn at Duo.
"Hey!" Duo glared at the Chinese boy and threw his own popcorn at him.
"Boys, don't throw popcorn," Mrs. Winner chided. As the movie started, they calmed down enough to watch it.
"Duo," Heero whispered, shaking Duo's shoulder lightly.
Duo opened his eyes and faced Heero. "What?"
"The movies over, we're leaving now," Heero stated. Duo nodded and stood, leaving the isle, following his Japanese friend. Everyone was waiting outside the theatre when they emerged.
"Are we going home now?" Quatre asked.
Trowa shrugged. "If you want to, then I'll walk you home."
Quatre shook his head. "I don't want to go home, I was just asking."
"Well, we can always go to the mall and play games in the arcade," Treize supplied.
"Alright, I need to get the top score for Area51 still," Heero said. He looked over at Duo to see if it was going to come along. He found the braided boy staring off into space. There was something different about him though, Heero noticed. There was a new sparkle in his eyes that wasn't there before the movie. "Hey, Duo, we're going to the mall, you want to come?" Duo looked over at him and nodded before going back to staring out into space.
"What's up with him?" Treize asked.
"I'm not sure..." Heero muttered. "You guys go on ahead, we'll catch up." Everyone, except Duo, nodded and headed out of the Cineplex. Heero gently grasped Duo shoulder, bring him back into reality. "Are you feeling okay?"
Duo nodded, smiling. "I'm fine, why?"
"You just seem really out of it," Heero stated.
Duo shrugged. "I was just thinking," he said. "Where did everyone go?"
"They headed to the mall, I told them that we'd catch up," Heero answered. "What were you thinking about?"
Duo shook his head. "I threw popcorn on him," he stated, walking off.
Heero blinked in confusion. "You threw popcorn on whom?"
"Wufei," Duo answered, "although he started it."
"Duo....you didn't throw popcorn on him," Heero stated, walking up next to him.
Duo shook his head again. "Not right now. I meant at Quatre's birthday. The one where we all went to the movies. We were maybe six or seven."
"We were six," Heero stated. "You were taken by social services a few months before Quatre turned seven."
"Oh..." Duo frowned slightly. "I've missed so much throughout the years."
"You didn't have much of a choice," Heero stated. "I tried to stop them from taking you, but my mother stopped me. She later explained why you had no choice but to leave."
Duo sighed. "I still can't remember that. There's a lot I can't remember," he stated. "The trial against my parent's starts next week... and I'm not sure I can handle it."
"You'll be fine," Heero stated. "Besides, the prosecution won't call you right away. They'll probably give you more time to adjust and remember. Of course, you've remember enough at this point that you could put them in jail for a long time."
"Yeah, I guess you're right..." Duo said, smiling softly. "C'mon, let's get to the mall before everyone starts to worry." Heero nodded and left the theatre with Duo.
