A Voice at Dinner

ch4

It was dinner time, nothing special because they had just relocated to a new safe house. The last one had been blown up while they were at the doctor's office, thankfully Jessica had gone to the airport to pick up Kitten from her visit to Aunt Hilde, and Wufei was in the colonies on a mission and wouldn't be back for who knows how long. Anyway, it was a few minutes after they had started eating when Fox suddenly heard a voice saying, "food, plate, drink, wall, piece of lettuce on Heero's plate, I wonder what I'm going to have for lunch tomorrow. Where did Kitten get that stuffed rabbit?"

Fox stopped eating and looked around to see who had spoken, but everyone was quietly eating their dinner. "Who the hell is talking" Fox thought.

Duo at this point stops eating, looks up and asks, "Steve?" Everyone at the table stopped eating and stared at Duo for a moment before promptly returning to their meal. For you see they were much too afraid to asked Duo what he was talking about, they knew what would come about from that question all to well.

Duo turns his thoughts inward and asks, "Amy, did Steve say something just now? And why does he sound like a munchkin?"

Amy responds, "I don't know who that was, but it definantly was not Steve."

Duo asks, "really? thats odd, then, where is Steve?

"Steve got distracted by the little, blinking light on the VCR. You know, the green one. Anyway. he is currently gazing at it, sort of in a trance." Amy informs Duo.

Duo, "A trance?"

Amy explains, "Trance basically means he has not moved in over an hour.

Duo exclaims, "Oooh! I've done that before! It's fun!"

Fox has been listening to the conversation going on inside Duo's head and has now figured out where the voice came from. Smirking Fox decides to screw around with Duo a little. So, he enters the conversation by thinking, "Hi!"

"Who is this?" Duo asks.

Fox , not ready to reveal his identity, says, "It's me!"

With out missing a beat Duo immediately responds, "Really, cool! I'm me to!"

Amy, who actually thinks, says, "Who, pray tell, is me?"

Smirking Fox responds "A friend of Duo, who are you?"

Amy airily replies, "I am Duo's conscience."

Fox doubtingly says, "Righhht. (A moment of silence) Okay, Duo do you know who I am?"

Duo cheerfully responds, "an evil little munchkin that is trying to take over my brain."

(A really long moment of silence) "Sure, you just keep telling yourself that, and when the poeple in the white coats come to take you away and put you in a padded room just maybe, they will give you a rubber cookie."

Excitedly bouncing in his seat Duo exclaims, "yay I love cookies! Especially chocolate chip."

Quatra promtly excuses himself from the table, the other pilots hastily follow his example.

Sometime later.

"Wufei, are you a hermaphrodite?" Duo asked so suddenly that it caused Wufei to cut his arm on his sword, which he was conveniently sharpening.

"Duo, do you even know what that means?" Wufei asked after a minute of cursing.

"Not a clue, but Steve wanted me to ask you; so, I did." Duo responded with a huge grin on his face. "So, are you a hermaphrodite or not? Steve really wants to know."

Blushing Wufei said, "No, I am not a hermaphrodite." he then got up and left the room to tend to the gash in his arm.

Duo closed his eyes and sat very still, his lips moving ever so slightly, as if he were consulting some inner voice.

"Well what was his answer?" Steve asked impatiently.

"He said no."

"Curse those fuzzy pink bunnies, this is all their fault!" Steve ranted.

"I didn't know rabbits were pink." Duo states.

"Only the evil ones are," Steve lowers his voice. "you know, the ones that work for the Queen of pink and have white lab coats on."

"That's not true." Fox says just for the sake of an argument.

Practically screaming his lungs out Steve loudly exclaims, "You dare contradict me?! Do you know who I am? I am the all powerful Master of the universe. I can do anything . . ."

Amy calmly interrupts. "Except cook."

"Oh, yeah, that's right except cook." Steve mutters glumly.

"And swim."

Steve sadly agrees, "and swim."

"And . . ."

Steve reaches up and pulls his hair while shouting, "Okay, okay! I agree, just leave me alone!"

Returning from getting a snack Duo asks "why is Steve mad?"

Fox pulls his attention away from Steve and Amy's bickering to answer, "Ami proved that Steve couldn't do everything."

"Oh, that's sad. Now I'm sad."

Wanting to cheer Duo up fox suggest they play a game. Fox called it Italian phrases.

"Okay Duo, rules of this game are simple. first rule is to learn as many sayings as you can in the Italian language. the second rule is you must say your phrase to some one esle, like Trowa, and you must pronounce it correctly or you will lose points. To earn points you must say it correctly. You get 1 point per word and 2 points per phrase. Got that?" Fox explained.

"Yes, I got it. but, where am I going to learn Italian? I am not very good at learning other languages." Duo questions

"Well I guess I could teach you a few to get you started." Fox suggests. All this time Fox is so kindly thinking about how much fun he was going to have vicariously terrorizing the other pilots. "Okay, we will start off simple, repeat after me. (1) 'Lei, il mio amico, รจ una mucca.' "

Duo repeats what Fox said.

"Great here's another one. (2) 'Lei il mio amico ha il IO.Q. di una roccia, ma uno sguardo un come inteligent come una lumaca.' "

A little while latter

Wufei has bandaged his arm and was going to report that he would not be able to take anymore missions for a while. It was not a good idea to pilot a gundam when half your blood was on the out side of your body. As Wufei made his way to the computer room he thought to himself, I cannot believe Duo would ask me a question like that, A hermaphrodite? Really, what was he thinking? sigh i am going to have to ask Quatra if he has thought of away to get Duo to take that medicine . . . "

"What happened to your arm?" Trowa interrupted Wufei's thoughts.

"Oh, I guess I cut myself." Wufei replied absentmindedly before returning to his thoughts.

(not sure how to write this next part, because Wufei is not as imaginative as Duo. So forgive the writing style change. Thanks! :-)

Wufei: I still cannot beleive he asked me that. why . . .

Fox: He asked because Steve wanted to know.

Wufei: What the HELL! Not good, not good, not good, I'm going insane. I am hearing voices.

Fox: 'Baka'

Wufei: Huh?

Fox: First, your not insane - at least I don't think you are. Second, only ONE voice, singular not plural. Third, Hi!

Wufei: . . . . ?

Fox: Please, stop thinking like Duo. Its starting to scare me. Oh, and Steve wants me to ask you somthing.

Wufei: Umm, Ookay.

(a few seconds go by)

Wufei: What?. . . Hello, . . . anyone there?

(Back to normal writting. :-)

"I think Duo is rubbing off on Wufei." Trowa commented to Heero.

"Really? that can't be good." Heero then changes the subject, "I think I will go fix dinner."

"Sure, you do that. I'm going to check on the children." Trowa says as he walks out of the room.

Heero heads for the kitchen to fix dinner. I guess I can try to slip Duo's medication into his food and hope he doesn't notice.

2 hours later

Everyon is sitting down at dinner eating. Duo (poor thing) has unwittingly taken the medication, so he is quiet. Fox decides to mess with Wufei by innocently (yeah right.) asking, "Wufei, where do babies come from?"

Wufei chokes on his food, and Heero beats on Wufei's back until he stops. Not knowing how to respond he asks "What?" Stalling for time as he looks to Quatra for help, but Quatra just shrugs helplessly. So, Wufei looks to all the others, but they give the same response as Quatra.

Fox repeats the Question.

"why don't we talk about this after dinner?" Wufei suggests

"No, I want to know right now! Where do Babies come from?" Fox demands.

How will Wufei get out of this situation? Only they know.(photo shot of earth as an alian spaceship goes by) Don't you love cliffhangers? will this is my reveange for not reviewing, when i get five reviews from five different people i will write more.

(1) you my friend are a cow.

(2) you my friend have the I.Q. of a rock, but look as Inteligent as a snail.
