Chapter 1: The storm
Okay I would like to thank Daniel Ocean; her story the high school from HELL inspired me to do this. I would like to thank my three muses, Jenny (a tiger), Vixy (an orange-striped cat), and Chibi, scythe wielding, bat Duo! You guys are great! I don't own GW.
Jenny, Vixy, and CSWB Duo: All right! We're in a fic!! SWEET!!!
VJ (me): Oooookaaay.
Quatre: What about me?
VJ: You're my best inspiration! And my favorite pilot! ^_______^ (blush)
Quatre: Thanks! (blush)
I do not own Gundam Wing or anything else mentioned. Thank you.
Some where on Earth…
It was a dark night and the moon was full. Storm clouds were building and the wind was howling. Nine young friends sat playing cards. Unaware of the danger lurking in the dark…
"Read 'em and weep." Said Duo laying down his cards. "Four queens."
"How the hell does he do that?" asked Wufei as Duo grabbed the cookies.
"I don't know." Said Quatre. "But it's a good thing we're
not playing with money or we'd be broke."
"I don't think there's any way you, Relena or I could go broke." Said Dorothy.
"I think I've had enough poker." Said Catherine.
"You're just saying that 'cause you're losing." Said Duo. But everyone else agreed with her. "Oh alright." Said Duo giving up. "How about crazy eights?"
"No. More. Games." Said Heero firmly.
"How about Monopoly?" suggested Duo.
"Baka! No more games! Period!" said Wufei annoyed.
"Party pooper." Said Duo popping an Oreo into his mouth. "Want some?" he asked Hilde motioning to the pile.
"Thanks." Said Hilde taking a few.
"What are we going to do now?" asked Trowa.
"I don't know. But these chairs are hurting my ass." Said Heero getting up. They all got up and went into the living room.
"We could watch a movie." Suggested Quatre.
"Hey! Great idea!" exclaimed Duo. "We'll watch House on Haunted Hill!"
"I take it it's a scary movie." Said Relena.
"Yeah!" said Duo getting excited. "It's so scary that when you scream it'll break glass!"
"Too late." Mumbled Wufei. Relena glared at him.
They all sat down as Duo put on the movie. "On with the show." He said as he sat next to Hilde.
About half way through the movie the power flickered and the upstairs floorboards creaked.
"Umm… Quatre are any of your sisters here?" asked Relena.
"No." said Quatre looking confused.
"How about Rashid and those dudes?" asked Duo.
Quatre shook his head.
Suddenly the door slammed shut with a loud bang. They all jumped.
"I-it was just the wind." Said Quatre. But his voice shook.
Duo stopped the movie and turned off the TV, and then he listened hard. The only sounds were the wind howling and the pitter of rain on the windows.
"When did it start raining?" asked Dorothy.
"Probably just a few minutes ago." Answered Trowa.
There was a flash of lightning and the lights in the living room went out. Someone screamed and an evil laugh echoed through the house.
"Hold on." Said Quatre fumbling around the room. He turned on a flashlight and shown it around the room. Wufei and Dorothy were clinging to each other and shaking. They looked at each other, then pushed away.
"Snuggling up to Dorothy, eh Wu-man?" teased Duo.
"Shut up, Maxwell." Said Wufei blushing.
"I've got a question." Said Catherine. Everyone looked at her. "Who did the laugh?"
"It must have been one of the boys." Said Relena. She looked at Heero.
"It wasn't me." Said Heero shaking his head.
Trowa shook his head.
"Don't look at me. I can't laugh like that." Said Duo.
"It would be an injustice." Said Wufei finally composing himself.
"You think I can laugh like that?" said Quatre.
"Well, there was that time you went insane." Said Heero.
"Yeah, but that was a crazy laugh not an evil laugh." Quatre pointed out.
"Is there a difference?" asked Duo.
"Yes there is." Said Relena, not wanting a fight to break out.
Just then the lights came back on.
"Okay that was a little creepy." Said Hilde.
"Someone must be playing a trick." Said Trowa. Everyone looked at Quatre.
"What?! You think I'm doing it?!"
"Well it is your mansion." Said Duo
"What?! Why would I do this?!" Asked Quatre. He was getting a little upset that his friends were accusing him.
"To scare us maybe?" said Hilde.
"If Quatre says he didn't do it, then he didn't." Said Catherine who didn't want to see Quatre go crazy. Trowa agreed.
Just then they heard the upstairs' floorboards creek again and another door slam.
"Well if no one in this room is doing it, then there must be someone else in the house." Said Dorothy.
"I say we go find them." said Hilde.
"But what if it is the wind?" asked Duo.
"Then we'll look like fools," said Hilde. Duo sighed. "I suggest we split into pairs," continued Hilde. "Duo and I, Heero and Relena, Trowa and Catherine, Wufei and Dorothy, and, well Quatre by himself."
"How come I have go alone?" asked Quatre.
"Because it's your mansion." Said Hilde.
"He can come with us." Said Catherine. Quatre looked relieved.
"Duo, Hilde, Relena, and I will stay on the first floor while the rest investigate upstairs." Said Heero.
Everyone nodded then went off in opposite directions.
VJ: Oooohhh! Spoo-ky! What will happen next?! Stay tune! Please R&R!
CSWB Duo: Send all the reviews to me, and all the flames to VJ!
VJ: Why you!!! (starts chasing CSWB Duo)
CSWB Duo: Help meeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!! (is running around the room with VJ on his heels)
VJ: Get back here you little runt!!!!
Jenny: He'll never learn.
Vixy: Nope. Popcorn?
Jenny: Thanks. Well 'till next time! Syoonara!
