Little Angel
It was almost a bright and sunny day when ChibiUsa woke. At first, she didn't feel any particular reason to actually be up at five in the morning. Taking a look at her pretty pink bunny and kitty calander that Uncle Quatre-san got her, she shreiked. Loudly. Heero, whose room was right next door, busted in holding his gun, with Quatre following closely behind. At first ChibiUsa was shocked to see them. Then she was just annoyed.
"Don't you ever knock?!" she snapped as she watched Heero inspect her room for intruders.
"Clear," he stated not answering the child.
Quatre looked around anyway, his eyes filled with sleep. Standing over ChibiUsa he asked her why she screamed if there was nothing wrong. The shine of excitment came back into her eyes.
"You're right," she rushed, "Nothing's wrong, everything's right! Perfect even!"
Confused looks crossed their faces. Seeing it, she huffed, got her calender and shoved it up in their faces. On the date June 30 it was circled and a small rabbit picture smiling was there. They blinked. ChibiUsa looked expectantly at them, waiting for any sort of congragulations that you're supposed to get for your birthday. They both thought back. This scene seemed strangly familiar to them. It was a few years ago, this same day, only it was Bunny who did the shreiking, not ChibiUsa. They drew blanks. Usa's eyes being as sharp as a child's eyes can get, understood it perfectly. Her eyes narrowed meanicingly.
"Luna P!!" she said in a very low, very angry voice. The toy bounded up from the bed, waiting to see what her mistress wanted.
Heero and Quatre waited for the unexpected, knowing it wasn't going to be good.
"Luna Sphere, kitty magic!"
A boom and a big pink cloud filled the room. Next thing that the Gundam pilots know is that they're being chased around the room, out the door, and down the hallway by a little child with a big flyswater. That was how the others woke up; by cries of pain. Emerging into the living room, ChibiUsa finally stopped, the flyswater turned back into Luna P and she glared evily.
"What's goin' on here?" yawned Duo. It amazed Heero that his friend was up this early. Willingly.
ChibiUsa crossed her arms over her chest and pouted but still held an evil look. The three newly arrived pilots stared at the Quatrae and Heero who were rubbing sore areas. Trowa sensed conflict between the three so he decided to intervene.
"Alright, it's five-thirty in the morning, Usa is mad about something and none of us will get any peace until this is settled," he said. To ChibiUsa he said, "What's going on?"
She glared up at him. He almost backed away. Almost. She stomped up the stairs, slammed open the door and was silent for a few moments. The boys waited nervously. Wu fei was really annoyed at this development.
"Yuy, Winner, what in the name of the seven hells did you do to upset the little woman?" he growled.
Quatre and Heero looked at each other. Quatr shrugged. Heero didn't know either, but he figured it was important. Quatre paled. Pointing behind Wu fei he tried to tell him what he should see. Wu fei turned. Behind him was an even more angry ChibiUsa. Deciding she might be a little unfair to the guys for their crime, she had closed the door quietly, and came down as quiet as a mouse. Now she was raging again and Duo swore he saw a bit of fire come from the child's body.
Stomping up to Wu fei she stopped until they were almost touching. Glaring down at Bunny's daughter, he tried not to show anything.
"Don't call me 'little woman' you brat," saying a word that was as close as she'd ever get to a curse word. "I'm NOT little and I'm NOT a woman. I'm a female child. Until you stop calling me that, I'm gonna call you something back."
To emphasis her point she lifted one slippered foot and brought it down on Wu fei's own foot. The action didn't hurt him, but it did surprise him. No onna, young or old, had talked to him that way in a very long time. By now, the boys were sitting down in chairs or on the sofa, Duo on the floor. Because Trowa seemed in control of the situation right then, ChibiUsa went to him, plopped down in his lap and showed him her beautiful calander. But it wasn't the pictures she wanted to show him, since she already did that when she first got it, but instead pointed at the circled date. Giving the calander to Trowa, she waited yet again for someone in the house to understand.
Trowa had tried, really and truly tried but he just didn't understand what was so significant about the 30th. A frustrated cry erupted from Usa as she was about to turn Luna P into some other dangerouse object before Duo asked Heero in a low voice what day it was.
"June 30," came the mummbled reply.
Duo got a spaced-out look on his face before he grabbed ChibiUsa and swung her around the room, laughing. The others had no idea what was going on. Putting her down finally he explained to them what was going on.
"Guys, you really need your memory checked. Today's June 30, and you remember what happened with Bunny on this day?" Heads shook in a way of saying no. "Bunny got upset 'cause it was her BIRTHDAY and we forgot. If we had learned anything from that experiance, which we clearly did not, then I would say that Chibi here is celebrating her mother's birthday!"
Up until that point, ChibiUsa had felt that, finally, here's someone who got it! But nooo, this was not the case. A battle cry of anger came from the small child. Heads turned to face her, some showing a bit of surprise and confusion. This only made it worse for her. She soon forgot her gentle nature and the way her mother raised her and turned pure amazon.
"NO YOU DOLTS!!!!" she screamed, making them all cringe from the noise. "IT'S MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY YEAH, BUT IT'S ALSO MINE!!!!!!!!! I'M EIGHT FREAKIN' YEARS OLD NOW!!!!!!!"
Instantly the boys began apologizing, asking about ways that might cheer her up. Unfourtunatly they were a few moments to late. After a few knocks on the head she ran up to her room in tears. Duo looked up from the floor and seemed like he was gonna cry himself.
"Guys, we're seriously fucked up here," he whimphered.
They agreed.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Quatre felt very badly about the day. So far, ChibiUsa absolutely refused to talk to anyone, especially Heero and Quatre. So, to make it up to her he devised a fool proof plan. Well, almost fool proof. So around noon or so he went up into ChibiUsa's room and didn't come back for a long time.
When ChibiUsa and Quatre exited the room, Usa looked as happy as a lark. Quatre just looked relieved but still knew that they weren't out of the red zone yet. When the others saw her, they tensed a bit but relaxed after seeing her smile.
"So, the little girl finally decided to behave?" asked Wu fei.
They groaned. Trust Wu fei to ruin a good thing. The smile faultered only a little. Then got bigger.
"Good afternoon to you to Feeret Face," she retorted.
Duo spewed his drink out of his nose and began laughing hard. Quatre looked at his niece in astonishment and smiled. Trowa began to laugh and Heero smiled. Duo took one look at Heero, rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. Yep, that was a full blown smile, not a smirk. That made Duo laughed harder.
After lunch the guys began leaving to do their diffrent activities. ChibiUsa asked Trowa and Quatre to stay for a while, so she could talk to them. Trowa really didn't like this.
A little later, after talking to Duo, ChibiUsa began looking for Wu-chan. Uncle Quatre-san said he would be training but shouldn't be inturupted. Usa didn't care. It was her birthday so she would do what she pleased. To an extent. She found Wu-chan in a big, padded room filled with lots of machines and equipment and benches. In the middle of the room was Wu fei who seemed to be doing a pattern. His fists flew and his legs struck the air quickly and efficiantly. For a while, ChibiUsa was memorized by it. All to soon she remembered why she was looking for him.
"Wu-chan?" ChibiUsa asked sweetly.
Wu fei stopped in mid kick. Turning to face the child he stared at her and almost turned away from the cuteness written all over her face. But no one could and no one ever would be able to do such a thing. A frustrated sigh, mostly about being inturepted during training and the unfairness of it all, he grabbed a towel and motioned for her to sit on one of the many benches. She practically flew.
"What is it that you had to inturupt my training for?" he asked wearily.
Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
'Uh-oh,' thought Wu fei.
"Wu-chan, Uncle Quatre-san said that I could have a tea party and he and Trowa-chan are gonna be there and so is Duo-chan," she said in one breath.
'Say no,' he told himself. 'No matter what happens, just say no!'
She began circling her index finger on the wood and swinging her legs. Wu fei kept willing himself mentally to say no.
"I was just wonderin'," she whisphered softly and cutely, "if you would be my escort at it?"
Wu fie nearly fell.
"Wh-what? What did you say girl?" he almost yelled.
ChibiUsa appeared hurt by this. Then upset, then angry. Wu fei cursed under his breath and waited for whatever might come. A look of dignity crossed her face. And the smile that was on her face earlier reapeared.
"Alright, Feerat Face. Clearly you don't listen and under diffrent circumstances I would not repeat myself. But, I will this time ONLY. Would you be my escort at the teaparty I'm gonna have?"
Wu fei didn't know what to think. Now what should he do? He should say no, that's what he should do. But the girl's eyes were serious and pleading but he tried not to let that phase him. He tried to resist the urge to say yes.
It took thirty minuets to deal with Wu fei. She cracked her knuckles in frustration. Guys did have to be stubborn, didn't they? Her mom always did say that out of them all, Wu fei and Heero were the hardest to convince. But mom did tell her a few way to handle it. She smiled broadly. So things didn't go as planned with Wu-chan. Maybe Heero-chan can do something more.
Heero sat on his bed, typing on his laptop. A soft knock made him pause slightly before he continued. The door opened and in the doorway stood ChibiUsa.
"What?" he asked.
ChibiUsa stayed there for a while. Then she came in, sat on the white sheets of the bed, and tried to see what he was doing. Heero snapped the laptop shut. Giving an annoyed look, he gazed down at the child on his bed. She gave him a small smile. Her eyes showed some sort of plan she was developing. Heero sighed.
"Alright," he said, "what do you want?"
She laughed.
"Boy, you do catch on quick," she replied.
Heero grunted, and moved to the nightstand, placing his precious computer down on the hard oak wood.
"It's easy to read you. Everything shows in your eyes. Just like Bun," came the simple statement.
A sigh came from the bed. Turning to face her he found her hugging her knees to her chest. Now, he felt the familiar pull of his heart, like when he looked at Bunny. Another sigh emited from Heero. Bunny must have told her how to handle things like this. ChibiUsa gave him a long, hard look.
"I'm having a party to make up for your,ahem, forgetfullness, and I'm going to make it as formal as possible," she said. "Nothing too fancy," she added after seeing a face of detest on Heero. "Just at least dress up a bit. And, um, well, I was wondering...."
Heero waited for her to continue. The little hellion obviously planned to make them suffer for earlier, so he had to wonder what would happen. He smirked at a few memories of Bunny pulling pranks on them. Hot sauce in Duo's food, hiding Wu fei's katana, prank calling Quatre, making him think it was the office, and her personal favorite, just annoying Heero to take her somewhere on the rides and pull some kind of trick. They'd hardly ever worked of course, since Bunny had never been able to keep any kind of secret except in a dire situation.
So, why should her daughter be any diffrent?
ChibiUsa nervously made sure everything was in order and if one little detail seemed out of place, she went on a rampage. It was her first time hosting a tea party and it made her nervouse. Besides, she hoped the guys didn't mind masks since the party was supposed to be a masquerade. That was the one thing she forgot to mention to the boys. She grinned evily. This was gonna be good.
Duo bustled around in a servants costume, doing whatever his young mistress desired for him to do. But no one said he had to like it. He hadn't wanted to be a servant, but what choice did he have? None. He sighed. This was going to be a big pain in the ass.
Trowa and Quatre got busy setting up music stands and tuning their instruments. Quatre carefully listened as he plucked the strings on his violin, tighting and loosening to match the correct pitch while Trowa played a B flat scale, stopping every now and then to pull out or push in the head pieace of the flute. Soon they finished and began arranging the pieces picked out by ChibiUsa.
Heero and a grumpy Wu fei appeared through the doorway, both about as dressed up as they would get. Heero still wore jeans but a nice looking shirt instead of the usual green one and Wu fei changed from his usual sweat pants and muscle shirt to a pair of decent pants and shirt. Trowa and Quatre wore tuxedo's.
ChibiUsa took Heero's hand and allowed him to lead her to the center of the room where the others had gathered. Instantly, she assumed an air of dignity and high power. Reaching behind a nearby chair she produced a brown paper bag.
"Okay, listen up. I asked Rashid to take me to a Halloween shop so I could get masks. Under diffrent circumstances, I would've made them myself but I didn't have the time. So, these will have to do," she said.
The guys cringed openly and inwardly. Somehow, the seemingly innocent tea party might be a way of getting revenge. The child instructed them to bend down so she could put the masks on. Duo objected, stating that he could do the simple task himself. Wu fei whole-heartedly agreed. With a bit of yelling, they finally sucombed to her will.
"Aw, man! A cookie monster mask?" whined Duo, "I wanted the Elmo one."
Usa stopped just as she was about to apply the Elmo mask to her uncle. Giving him a weird look, she shook her head and continued. Next was Trowa, who was now the proud owner of a Grover mask. After much thought, Heavyarm's former pilot decided it could be worse so he accepted it. Wu fei loudly protesed the wearing of Oscar the Grouch. ChibiUsa retorted with a simple "But he reminds me so much of you!" statement. When that didn't work, she cried. That worked fine. Heero got a bright, yellow Big Bird mask. They all, with the possible exception of Duo, detested this new development.
"Winner, remind me never to allow you to do this again," Wu fei growled through clenched teeth.
"Trust me, I don't like this either," responded Quatre.
After putting on her own Zoe mask, the announcment was made to begin the party. The musicians played, and for one hour five almost grown men entertained an eight year old girl in Seaseme Street masks.
As the notes for the last song gradually decreased, Heero stared at the little bundle in his arms. She had insisted that he pick her up and dance with her. Somewhere in the middle of the lullaby, she fell asleep on his shoulder. Not surprising, since the lullaby was probably something that her mother sang to her. All of the pilots had heard it somehow, wether it got sung to them, or she had just begun to absently mindedly hummed it.
One by one they took off the hot masks that covered their faces. Wu fei made a disgusted noise and tossed it onto a nearby table that had been set up for the party. Duo had to take off Heero's since he wouldn't put the girl down.
Carefully, quietly, Heero made his way up the steps and, with a little help from Duo, got into ChibiUsa's room, changed her clothes, and put her to bed. With one final check, they silently closed the door.
When they got back downstairs, they saw the others loosining ties or taking of jackets or this that and the other. Duo was again reminded of the black and white uniform he wore and proceeded to do anything he could to get comftrable.
"Actually, that was a bit fun," Quatre said after a long silence.
They all nodded. Silently, they began to clean up, taking dishes and cups to the kitchen and food to the garbage can or to be put up. Suddenly, a loud cry and thud came from upstairs. For a split second, no one moved. Then, a storm of feet ran. Heero pulled his gun, ready to strike. One by one, they checked the rooms. Coming upon ChibiUsa's door, Heero got on one side and Duo on the other. Counting with his fingers to three, they burst through the door, Heero in the lead. Duo, Wu fei, and Trowa checked the room over while Quatre went to a hysteric ChibiUsa. After making sure it was clear, the group tried to figure out what was wrong.
"H-he h-h-hurt Mammma," she sobbed. "He hurt her s-so b-b-bad."
ChibiUsa cried harder and clung to Quatre. He murmered soothing words and rubbed her back, all the while looking at his friends helplessly.
"Who is it? Whose the one that hurt your mom?" asked Trowa in an almost whispher.
She looked up at him, crieing harder.
"A m-man nam-med D-Dr. J."

Little Angel
It was almost a bright and sunny day when ChibiUsa woke. At first, she didn't feel any particular reason to actually be up at five in the morning. Taking a look at her pretty pink bunny and kitty calander that Uncle Quatre-san got her, she shreiked. Loudly. Heero, whose room was right next door, busted in holding his gun, with Quatre following closely behind. At first ChibiUsa was shocked to see them. Then she was just annoyed.
"Don't you ever knock?!" she snapped as she watched Heero inspect her room for intruders.
"Clear," he stated not answering the child.
Quatre looked around anyway, his eyes filled with sleep. Standing over ChibiUsa he asked her why she screamed if there was nothing wrong. The shine of excitment came back into her eyes.
"You're right," she rushed, "Nothing's wrong, everything's right! Perfect even!"
Confused looks crossed their faces. Seeing it, she huffed, got her calender and shoved it up in their faces. On the date June 30 it was circled and a small rabbit picture smiling was there. They blinked. ChibiUsa looked expectantly at them, waiting for any sort of congragulations that you're supposed to get for your birthday. They both thought back. This scene seemed strangly familiar to them. It was a few years ago, this same day, only it was Bunny who did the shreiking, not ChibiUsa. They drew blanks. Usa's eyes being as sharp as a child's eyes can get, understood it perfectly. Her eyes narrowed meanicingly.
"Luna P!!" she said in a very low, very angry voice. The toy bounded up from the bed, waiting to see what her mistress wanted.
Heero and Quatre waited for the unexpected, knowing it wasn't going to be good.
"Luna Sphere, kitty magic!"
A boom and a big pink cloud filled the room. Next thing that the Gundam pilots know is that they're being chased around the room, out the door, and down the hallway by a little child with a big flyswater. That was how the others woke up; by cries of pain. Emerging into the living room, ChibiUsa finally stopped, the flyswater turned back into Luna P and she glared evily.
"What's goin' on here?" yawned Duo. It amazed Heero that his friend was up this early. Willingly.
ChibiUsa crossed her arms over her chest and pouted but still held an evil look. The three newly arrived pilots stared at the Quatrae and Heero who were rubbing sore areas. Trowa sensed conflict between the three so he decided to intervene.
"Alright, it's five-thirty in the morning, Usa is mad about something and none of us will get any peace until this is settled," he said. To ChibiUsa he said, "What's going on?"
She glared up at him. He almost backed away. Almost. She stomped up the stairs, slammed open the door and was silent for a few moments. The boys waited nervously. Wu fei was really annoyed at this development.
"Yuy, Winner, what in the name of the seven hells did you do to upset the little woman?" he growled.
Quatre and Heero looked at each other. Quatr shrugged. Heero didn't know either, but he figured it was important. Quatre paled. Pointing behind Wu fei he tried to tell him what he should see. Wu fei turned. Behind him was an even more angry ChibiUsa. Deciding she might be a little unfair to the guys for their crime, she had closed the door quietly, and came down as quiet as a mouse. Now she was raging again and Duo swore he saw a bit of fire come from the child's body.
Stomping up to Wu fei she stopped until they were almost touching. Glaring down at Bunny's daughter, he tried not to show anything.
"Don't call me 'little woman' you brat," saying a word that was as close as she'd ever get to a curse word. "I'm NOT little and I'm NOT a woman. I'm a female child. Until you stop calling me that, I'm gonna call you something back."
To emphasis her point she lifted one slippered foot and brought it down on Wu fei's own foot. The action didn't hurt him, but it did surprise him. No onna, young or old, had talked to him that way in a very long time. By now, the boys were sitting down in chairs or on the sofa, Duo on the floor. Because Trowa seemed in control of the situation right then, ChibiUsa went to him, plopped down in his lap and showed him her beautiful calander. But it wasn't the pictures she wanted to show him, since she already did that when she first got it, but instead pointed at the circled date. Giving the calander to Trowa, she waited yet again for someone in the house to understand.
Trowa had tried, really and truly tried but he just didn't understand what was so significant about the 30th. A frustrated cry erupted from Usa as she was about to turn Luna P into some other dangerouse object before Duo asked Heero in a low voice what day it was.
"June 30," came the mummbled reply.
Duo got a spaced-out look on his face before he grabbed ChibiUsa and swung her around the room, laughing. The others had no idea what was going on. Putting her down finally he explained to them what was going on.
"Guys, you really need your memory checked. Today's June 30, and you remember what happened with Bunny on this day?" Heads shook in a way of saying no. "Bunny got upset 'cause it was her BIRTHDAY and we forgot. If we had learned anything from that experiance, which we clearly did not, then I would say that Chibi here is celebrating her mother's birthday!"
Up until that point, ChibiUsa had felt that, finally, here's someone who got it! But nooo, this was not the case. A battle cry of anger came from the small child. Heads turned to face her, some showing a bit of surprise and confusion. This only made it worse for her. She soon forgot her gentle nature and the way her mother raised her and turned pure amazon.
"NO YOU DOLTS!!!!" she screamed, making them all cringe from the noise. "IT'S MY MOM'S BIRTHDAY YEAH, BUT IT'S ALSO MINE!!!!!!!!! I'M EIGHT FREAKIN' YEARS OLD NOW!!!!!!!"
Instantly the boys began apologizing, asking about ways that might cheer her up. Unfourtunatly they were a few moments to late. After a few knocks on the head she ran up to her room in tears. Duo looked up from the floor and seemed like he was gonna cry himself.
"Guys, we're seriously fucked up here," he whimphered.
They agreed.
A FEW HOURS LATER
Quatre felt very badly about the day. So far, ChibiUsa absolutely refused to talk to anyone, especially Heero and Quatre. So, to make it up to her he devised a fool proof plan. Well, almost fool proof. So around noon or so he went up into ChibiUsa's room and didn't come back for a long time.
When ChibiUsa and Quatre exited the room, Usa looked as happy as a lark. Quatre just looked relieved but still knew that they weren't out of the red zone yet. When the others saw her, they tensed a bit but relaxed after seeing her smile.
"So, the little girl finally decided to behave?" asked Wu fei.
They groaned. Trust Wu fei to ruin a good thing. The smile faultered only a little. Then got bigger.
"Good afternoon to you to Feeret Face," she retorted.
Duo spewed his drink out of his nose and began laughing hard. Quatre looked at his niece in astonishment and smiled. Trowa began to laugh and Heero smiled. Duo took one look at Heero, rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. Yep, that was a full blown smile, not a smirk. That made Duo laughed harder.
After lunch the guys began leaving to do their diffrent activities. ChibiUsa asked Trowa and Quatre to stay for a while, so she could talk to them. Trowa really didn't like this.
A little later, after talking to Duo, ChibiUsa began looking for Wu-chan. Uncle Quatre-san said he would be training but shouldn't be inturupted. Usa didn't care. It was her birthday so she would do what she pleased. To an extent. She found Wu-chan in a big, padded room filled with lots of machines and equipment and benches. In the middle of the room was Wu fei who seemed to be doing a pattern. His fists flew and his legs struck the air quickly and efficiantly. For a while, ChibiUsa was memorized by it. All to soon she remembered why she was looking for him.
"Wu-chan?" ChibiUsa asked sweetly.
Wu fei stopped in mid kick. Turning to face the child he stared at her and almost turned away from the cuteness written all over her face. But no one could and no one ever would be able to do such a thing. A frustrated sigh, mostly about being inturepted during training and the unfairness of it all, he grabbed a towel and motioned for her to sit on one of the many benches. She practically flew.
"What is it that you had to inturupt my training for?" he asked wearily.
Her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
'Uh-oh,' thought Wu fei.
"Wu-chan, Uncle Quatre-san said that I could have a tea party and he and Trowa-chan are gonna be there and so is Duo-chan," she said in one breath.
'Say no,' he told himself. 'No matter what happens, just say no!'
She began circling her index finger on the wood and swinging her legs. Wu fei kept willing himself mentally to say no.
"I was just wonderin'," she whisphered softly and cutely, "if you would be my escort at it?"
Wu fie nearly fell.
"Wh-what? What did you say girl?" he almost yelled.
ChibiUsa appeared hurt by this. Then upset, then angry. Wu fei cursed under his breath and waited for whatever might come. A look of dignity crossed her face. And the smile that was on her face earlier reapeared.
"Alright, Feerat Face. Clearly you don't listen and under diffrent circumstances I would not repeat myself. But, I will this time ONLY. Would you be my escort at the teaparty I'm gonna have?"
Wu fei didn't know what to think. Now what should he do? He should say no, that's what he should do. But the girl's eyes were serious and pleading but he tried not to let that phase him. He tried to resist the urge to say yes.
It took thirty minuets to deal with Wu fei. She cracked her knuckles in frustration. Guys did have to be stubborn, didn't they? Her mom always did say that out of them all, Wu fei and Heero were the hardest to convince. But mom did tell her a few way to handle it. She smiled broadly. So things didn't go as planned with Wu-chan. Maybe Heero-chan can do something more.
Heero sat on his bed, typing on his laptop. A soft knock made him pause slightly before he continued. The door opened and in the doorway stood ChibiUsa.
"What?" he asked.
ChibiUsa stayed there for a while. Then she came in, sat on the white sheets of the bed, and tried to see what he was doing. Heero snapped the laptop shut. Giving an annoyed look, he gazed down at the child on his bed. She gave him a small smile. Her eyes showed some sort of plan she was developing. Heero sighed.
"Alright," he said, "what do you want?"
She laughed.
"Boy, you do catch on quick," she replied.
Heero grunted, and moved to the nightstand, placing his precious computer down on the hard oak wood.
"It's easy to read you. Everything shows in your eyes. Just like Bun," came the simple statement.
A sigh came from the bed. Turning to face her he found her hugging her knees to her chest. Now, he felt the familiar pull of his heart, like when he looked at Bunny. Another sigh emited from Heero. Bunny must have told her how to handle things like this. ChibiUsa gave him a long, hard look.
"I'm having a party to make up for your,ahem, forgetfullness, and I'm going to make it as formal as possible," she said. "Nothing too fancy," she added after seeing a face of detest on Heero. "Just at least dress up a bit. And, um, well, I was wondering...."
Heero waited for her to continue. The little hellion obviously planned to make them suffer for earlier, so he had to wonder what would happen. He smirked at a few memories of Bunny pulling pranks on them. Hot sauce in Duo's food, hiding Wu fei's katana, prank calling Quatre, making him think it was the office, and her personal favorite, just annoying Heero to take her somewhere on the rides and pull some kind of trick. They'd hardly ever worked of course, since Bunny had never been able to keep any kind of secret except in a dire situation.
So, why should her daughter be any diffrent?
ChibiUsa nervously made sure everything was in order and if one little detail seemed out of place, she went on a rampage. It was her first time hosting a tea party and it made her nervouse. Besides, she hoped the guys didn't mind masks since the party was supposed to be a masquerade. That was the one thing she forgot to mention to the boys. She grinned evily. This was gonna be good.
Duo bustled around in a servants costume, doing whatever his young mistress desired for him to do. But no one said he had to like it. He hadn't wanted to be a servant, but what choice did he have? None. He sighed. This was going to be a big pain in the ass.
Trowa and Quatre got busy setting up music stands and tuning their instruments. Quatre carefully listened as he plucked the strings on his violin, tighting and loosening to match the correct pitch while Trowa played a B flat scale, stopping every now and then to pull out or push in the head pieace of the flute. Soon they finished and began arranging the pieces picked out by ChibiUsa.
Heero and a grumpy Wu fei appeared through the doorway, both about as dressed up as they would get. Heero still wore jeans but a nice looking shirt instead of the usual green one and Wu fei changed from his usual sweat pants and muscle shirt to a pair of decent pants and shirt. Trowa and Quatre wore tuxedo's.
ChibiUsa took Heero's hand and allowed him to lead her to the center of the room where the others had gathered. Instantly, she assumed an air of dignity and high power. Reaching behind a nearby chair she produced a brown paper bag.
"Okay, listen up. I asked Rashid to take me to a Halloween shop so I could get masks. Under diffrent circumstances, I would've made them myself but I didn't have the time. So, these will have to do," she said.
The guys cringed openly and inwardly. Somehow, the seemingly innocent tea party might be a way of getting revenge. The child instructed them to bend down so she could put the masks on. Duo objected, stating that he could do the simple task himself. Wu fei whole-heartedly agreed. With a bit of yelling, they finally sucombed to her will.
"Aw, man! A cookie monster mask?" whined Duo, "I wanted the Elmo one."
Usa stopped just as she was about to apply the Elmo mask to her uncle. Giving him a weird look, she shook her head and continued. Next was Trowa, who was now the proud owner of a Grover mask. After much thought, Heavyarm's former pilot decided it could be worse so he accepted it. Wu fei loudly protesed the wearing of Oscar the Grouch. ChibiUsa retorted with a simple "But he reminds me so much of you!" statement. When that didn't work, she cried. That worked fine. Heero got a bright, yellow Big Bird mask. They all, with the possible exception of Duo, detested this new development.
"Winner, remind me never to allow you to do this again," Wu fei growled through clenched teeth.
"Trust me, I don't like this either," responded Quatre.
After putting on her own Zoe mask, the announcment was made to begin the party. The musicians played, and for one hour five almost grown men entertained an eight year old girl in Seaseme Street masks.
As the notes for the last song gradually decreased, Heero stared at the little bundle in his arms. She had insisted that he pick her up and dance with her. Somewhere in the middle of the lullaby, she fell asleep on his shoulder. Not surprising, since the lullaby was probably something that her mother sang to her. All of the pilots had heard it somehow, wether it got sung to them, or she had just begun to absently mindedly hummed it.
One by one they took off the hot masks that covered their faces. Wu fei made a disgusted noise and tossed it onto a nearby table that had been set up for the party. Duo had to take off Heero's since he wouldn't put the girl down.
Carefully, quietly, Heero made his way up the steps and, with a little help from Duo, got into ChibiUsa's room, changed her clothes, and put her to bed. With one final check, they silently closed the door.
When they got back downstairs, they saw the others loosining ties or taking of jackets or this that and the other. Duo was again reminded of the black and white uniform he wore and proceeded to do anything he could to get comftrable.
"Actually, that was a bit fun," Quatre said after a long silence.
They all nodded. Silently, they began to clean up, taking dishes and cups to the kitchen and food to the garbage can or to be put up. Suddenly, a loud cry and thud came from upstairs. For a split second, no one moved. Then, a storm of feet ran. Heero pulled his gun, ready to strike. One by one, they checked the rooms. Coming upon ChibiUsa's door, Heero got on one side and Duo on the other. Counting with his fingers to three, they burst through the door, Heero in the lead. Duo, Wu fei, and Trowa checked the room over while Quatre went to a hysteric ChibiUsa. After making sure it was clear, the group tried to figure out what was wrong.
"H-he h-h-hurt Mammma," she sobbed. "He hurt her s-so b-b-bad."
ChibiUsa cried harder and clung to Quatre. He murmered soothing words and rubbed her back, all the while looking at his friends helplessly.
"Who is it? Whose the one that hurt your mom?" asked Trowa in an almost whispher.
She looked up at him, crieing harder.
"A m-man nam-med D-Dr. J."
