At last, here is the next part. I tried some new formating..I hope it works okay and doesn't get messed up or confuse people. Hope you like it!

Quatre nibbled on his thumb nail nervously while waiting for Duo. The braided boy had stayed behind after class to talk to Mrs. Tebbet about something. Most likely it was about Heero and the gift he had to make for him. Strangely enough Duo was quite flustered about the whole ordeal.

"Is the 'play date' for Kae and Gary still scheduled to happen today?" Heero questioned the blond.

Quatre looked up surprised. He had totally forgotten about it.

"Well..if Trowa doesn't need me, I think it will still happen." Quatre thought out loud while looking around. Duo still wasn't out of Mrs. Tebbet's room yet.

Quatre noticed Heero clutching the box which contain his egg close and smiled. He was very pleased with the way Heero was handling the project. It brought out certain characteristics that the young pilot would probably would have never seen before.

As Quatre watched Duo exit Mrs. Tebbet's room, he wondered if Duo had noticed the little changes in Heero as well.

"Hey guys, you didn't have to wait for me." Quatre observed Duo looked kind of strained.

"It's all right, Heero wanted to any ways." When the blond teen mentioned this, he noticed Duo's eyes light up.

"Really Heero, buddy?" Duo asked as he threw an arm around the Asian teen.

"Gary is suppose to play with Kae today. We're both taking him." Heero stated and locked eyes with Quatre. "Are you going to check on Trowa now?"

"Oh come on Quat, his lunch is just disagreeing with him. He'll be fine." Duo dropped his arm from Heero as the three of them made their way down the student filled hall.

............................................................................................................

The chestnut-haired teenager scanned the grassy area in front of the school for a shaded area that he and his comrade could sit on without being disturbed by other students. It was a bright sunny day and many of the students were taking advantage of by playing basketball, soccer, or even by just taking walks around the area. Duo definitely wanted to find a spot well away from the activities and noise so he could think.

"How about over there." He pointed towards a large tree that had a small amount of shade, but at least was away from most of the busy areas. Heero, who was at his side nodded.

When they got to the spot, Duo sprawled out on the ground in the bit of shade while Heero carefully sat down next to him. Duo then watched as Heero gently set the two eggs he was carrying down in the grass in front of them.

"Hey Heero, what if they get mixed up? We won't be able to tell who is Kae and who is Gary." Duo thought he saw the beginning of a smirk form on Heero's face.

"Quatre wrote 'Kae' on the bottom of theirs." He said as he turned and egg over to reveal the name.

Duo rolled over so that he was on his back and then put his hands behind his head. "It's a shame Quatre couldn't come huh?" Duo rubbed his nose. "Actually it's more of a shame for Trowa since he's being coddled over." Duo grinned.

"Hnn." Heero rested himself against the thick tree then frowned. "Don't you have a project to work on?"

Duo looked up through his bangs and sighed. "Yes, but since your not allowed to know what it is I can't sit here and work on it, now can I." Heero looked thoughtful.

"If its urgent you don't have to stay here. You can go and I'll take care of this." He said as he nodded towards the two eggs.

"Nah its okay Heero, I can't really work on it at the moment. I need to do some brainstorming. Besides, I wouldn't want to leave you here on your own. Teamwork remember." Duo gave the other boy his best smile.

"Okay." Was the reply from the wing pilot.

Duo settled down and began to think about his little chat with Mrs. Tebbet. He had waited until everyone had left before asking for advice about his homemade gift for Heero. She couldn't really help him, although she did give some examples of little crafts he could make. Duo didn't even bother trying to think of a craft. Even if he did make one and gave it to Heero, it wasn't like he could drag it along with him everywhere or store it in his Gundam.

Twenty minutes must have passed while Duo was thinking. Twenty minutes and not one idea. He sighed and brushed his bangs out of his face. "Hey Heero?" Duo said as he sat up from the grass. "Do you think its about time we get Kae home to his mommy and daddy....Or his daddy and daddy?" He noticed the dark-haired boy raise an eyebrow. "Well, what do ya think Heero? Is Quatre a mommy or a daddy?" Duo asked as they each took an egg and got up from the ground.

Heero was silent as they headed into the school. "Well..." He began, "Quatre can be very motherly. An example of this would be his "coddling" of Trowa, as you put it before. Although, he doesn't have the most important and necessary parts which are required to be a female." This was all said in a very serious tone which made Duo laugh. He would have to remember that one.

Inside the school it was actually quite quiet. Everyone was outside enjoying the warm weather, something Duo wished he could do. Instead he was determined to sit in the small room he and Heero were sharing and come up with something for Heero. As they neared Quatre and Trowa's room, Duo spoke up. "So a daddy and daddy it is then." He said jokingly.

"Not necessarily." The dark-haired boy replied.

"What do you mean?" Duo looked puzzled.

"I can easily picture Trowa in a skirt." Heero said casually.

............................................................................................................

Trowa was laying in his bed, head propped up by several pillows, and watching Quatre putter around the room, when he heard a extremely loud "WHAT!!" somewhere in the hall outside their door.

Quatre spun around startled, then went to the very cheery gray door and poked his head outside. When it opened, familiar laughter drifted inside.

"Duo? What's so funny?" The blond asked in a concerned tone of voice, then opened the door all the way. A moment later Heero, followed by a chuckling Duo entered the small room. Duo's cheeks were tinted pink from his small laughing fit, and Heero looked almost sheepish, if that were possible.

"Duo?" The shorter boy asked again.

Duo took a deep breath to settle himself down before speaking. While brushing stray pieces of hair out of his face he answered, "It's nothin Q, just something Heero said made me laugh." When Duo looked in Trowa's direction a small grin appeared on his face. "So how is our food-poisoned friend doing? Being cared for well I hope." Duo winked at Trowa.

"He hasn't stopped taking care of me since he got here." Trowa rolled his eyes but smiled at the fussy blond. He wasn't really annoyed by Quatre's antics, in fact he found it very sweet. Although if Quatre sat down and took a break for a while, Trowa wouldn't mind at all.

"Here." Heero said as he handed Quatre their egg. "Him and Gary played together for approximately twenty-five minutes." He looked in Duo's direction. "We thought it was an adequate amount of time."

"Thank you Heero. Me and Trowa appreciate you taking him for us. Maybe we could do something for you guys another time. Right Trowa?" Quatre looked at him for confirmation, and Trowa nodded in answer.

Duo smiled. "That's great, thanks. Well we should go, maybe see you when its time to eat?"

"I'm definitely up for it. Trowa, are you feeling well enough to eat this evening? Maybe a sandwich or something?" Quatre questioned.

".............." Trowa was silent.
