Chapter 2: The Stories Told

Frantically Duo bounded into the Colony Health Centre. "WE'RE IS THE ALIEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" he yelled out, speedily gazing around the silent room. Everyone looked up at the boy who had disturbed the peace. " WEREWEREWEREWERE WEREWEREWEREWEREWEREWEREWEREWEREWERE!!!"

Quatre ran out from behind one of the waiting room couches and darted towards Duo. He grabbed his arm and pulled the noisy boy over to the rest of the gang while simultaneously covering Duo's open mouth with his hand. He through Duo onto a chair beside Heero and went over to Relena.

"What DID you tell him?"

Relena grinned. "Just that aliens have landed and the are sanctioned here. You said that you wanted me to get everyone here, no matter what"

"You sure did a good job", Quatre gazed around to look at the G-Crew. Feeling his gaze on them, they all turned and gave him individual versions of the Yuy Death Glare.

With this we change to the conversation between the pilots.

As Duo was getting over his shock Heero leaned over and whispered "Guess they got you too eh?"

"What do you mean????????? I'm here for the aliens"

Heero slapped his forehead. "Duo, Duo, Duo... there are no aliens. Relena just told you that so you would come here."

"Why'd she want me here?!?!?!?!? And Why try to trick me! She could have just asked"

SLAP, SLAP, SLAP Heero had resorted to multiple slaps. "God how stupid is he?" He pointed straight to the large sign covering the wall. "FREE FLU SHOTS" it read. Then with the sweep of his hand, he showed Duo the various other posters in the room. "ARE YOU PREPARED FOR WINTER", "PROTECT YOUR KIDS FOR THE FLU BUG", FREE VACCINATION TO STAY HEALTHY", etc.

As Duo's head returned to its regular position, he mad a remarkable comment, "So....Why are we here???

Heero walked off and started banging his head on wall nearest. Wu- fie took his place and in plain English said to Duo calmly , "You are about to get a needle stabbed into you. If Quatre told you that, you never would have come. That is why he tricked you. He tricked all of us into coming here."

"Not me!" Mariemaia piped up. She had been listening in to all this. Trieze and Zech nodded their agreement. " We aren't scarred of a bunch of needles. We came on our own free will" Marie smiled with this.

Duo was shocked. "You came on your own to be punctured to death by some stranger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are You INSANE!!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!? You'll die and never be seen again!"

" Duo you're so over reacting. it will be fine. This is nothing compared to getting shot."

Duo whimpered " Yeah but still......You Gotta Save Me!!!" and with this he jumped up and started running toward the door.

Quatre, hearing all the commotion, turned his head just in time to see the boy leap up from his chair. He ran after Duo and tackled the frightened boy. "Duo get your ass back into that chair.", and with that he dragged him back along with the help of Mariemaia, Zechs, and Trieze. The whole way Duo was kicking and screaming and in general causing quite a racket. All the children in the room stared at this spectrum and them turned to their parents, whispering about being too scared to go into the doctors office. All the mothers gave Duo an angry glare as they tried to calm their kids.

While this was all happening, the rest of the G-boys were discussing the wonderful tactics that Quatre and Relena had used to get them there.

"She said something about a mission here. I was to assassinate an enemy that was healing here." Heero couldn't believe that he had even fell for the trick. Relena wanting him to kill someone? Like that would ever happen.

Trowa murmured, "She told me that Catherine had hurt herself during her act and had to be ambulanced here."

They all looked at Wu-fie to hear his story. Briefly he said, " She just rang my doorbell and then when I answered, she stuffed me into a potato sack." With this he turned his head and began watching the struggle between Quatre and Duo. It was embarrassing him the way the boy was acting, not to mention giving the Gundam pilots a bad image.

At this moment the girls walked in. They had been at the spa on a girls day out. After telling Relena that they were there, they sat next to the G-boys and started a conversation among themselves. Heero turned to towards them and listened to their conversation.

" I'm so glad that Quatre thought of this. It's such a wonderful idea. Every year I get the flu and now I won't .", Catherine was saying.

Heero did a back take. He had to contain himself as he spurted out, "You knew what you were coming for?!?! Quatre and Relena didn't try to trick you?"

"That's right. She told us straight off what was happening"

"But then why did she trick all of us?"

"Because she knew that you guys would be idiots about it and wouldn't come. You guys can be so proud sometimes that you would think that you didn't need these shots and that you would could never possibly get sick. Do you think that's what Quatre wanted to happen?" Hilde piped up

"Oh" was all Heero could muster. Though the girls did have a point. If He had been told what was going on, Heero never would have come. He probably would have told Quatre that he was on a mission so he wouldn't get upset. All in all, the two of them got everyone to the clinic just fine. With the exception of a boy named Duo, but hey, this is Duo we're talking about. Speaking of Duo..., Heero though as he glanced around the room. Heero found the subject in question sitting on a chair and pouting, with little Mariemaia to watch over him. Heero had to smother a small chuckle. The boy looked so dejected and the fact that a little eight year old girl was guarding him was too much to handle. Though when Heero looked into Duo's eyes, he saw that a plan was beginning to for in the eyes of Shinigami.
