The Mall Crisis 12/18/2000

One fine Saturday morning, Duo awoke with a start.

Duo: Get off a' me you centipede:: shakes with cold sweat running down face:

Wu Fei:: already in a patriotic stance: Maxwell, what in Nataku's name do you think you're doing!

Duo:: sweatdrop:

Wu Fei: It's 5 in the morning and I was just sleeping! You can't do this everyday, Maxwell! You just walk up to that giant centipede and fight him like the man you wish you were!

Duo: Oi!

Wu Fei: --and I was just having a vision from Nataku but you ruined it damn it!

Duo: Ah shut up. You and your Nataku : grins: Wu fei and Nataku sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S—

Heero abruptly slaps him in across the face.

Heero:: turning slowly around to face Duo: Will you PLEASE shut up?

Duo: Kuso, you people are so mean and nasty...no sense of humor at all...

Wu Fei: INJUSTICE!

Heero: Wu Fei, please refrain from that justice b.s.

Wu Fei:: turning slightly pink:

Just then Quatre wakes up from his sleep on his rocking chair

Quatre: What's going on you guys?

Trowa steps out of the shadows of the room where he was quietly standing.

Trowa: Well, Quatre. While you were in a deep slumber, Duo was having a nightmare—

Quatre: --not again...

Trowa: --and was screaming about that DAMN centiPEDE-- : his eyes slightly bulge at the each syllable: --the centiPEDE that climbs out of the sewers and follows Duo around—

Wu Fei: --and Maxwell won't kick its ass but just stands there like a weakling.

Duo: What am I supposed to do? It's huge! I can't fight it:: his voice lowers to a whisper: It might eat me...

Heero: suck it up Duo. Anyway we gotta start the day already, not dwell on your dreams.

Quatre: Yeah, what he said.

Duo: You know what we should do?

Trowa: Dare I ask?

Duo: We should go-- : looks at the curious faces around him: ---SHOPPING!

Wu Fei: Oh no, not again Maxwell.

Trowa: He might go crazy again when he sees Victoria's Secret...

Duo: I will not...: giggles:

Quatre: Sure you won't...

Duo: I promise I will not even look in the window this time. I just really need a blender...

Heero: May I ask why you could possibly want a blender?

Wu Fei: Exactly Yuy. Maxwell, will you please share this desire with us?

Trowa:: sweatdrop:

Duo: Well:: looks around to see if everyone is listening: Quatre will you please stop wiping the dust off your teacup? It is very distracting.

Quatre: Oh, I'm sorry Duo. Please enlighten us some more. : puts down the tissue he was using to wipe with:

Duo: --and with a tissue of all things. : sighs: Don't you know that tissues have dust of their own and it just goes right back onto the cup?

Trowa: Actually Duo. The thing you called dust is actually small paper or if you prefer wood particles that are made into individual sheets that we use to... and anyway some of the particles contain lotion and there are various senses...: the gw boys are just staring at Trowa as he goes on: --and the "tissues" or sheets of paper made up of the particular wood molecules are stacked up on top of another in a pretty lil box that sometimes have bunnies or other fuzzy creatures on the print. If you think about it carefully, the box is also the "tissue" but doesn't have the other particles that are in the real "tissue" that make it nice and soft—

Duo: Trowa how can you say that with one breath? Certainly mysterious enough...

Trowa:: sweatdrop: sorry guys...

Duo: --as I was saying before Trowa tried to be a brainiac was that in my dream I was sitting in this ice cream parlor before the centipede attacked and there were so many different fruit flavors for milkshakes!

Wu Fei: So you want a blender to mash and slice the fruit into teensy weensy pieces and get even more sugar high than you already are and add milk to it?

Duo: --that's about it.

Quatre: Well, I have to buy some more tea because I'm running low on the tealeaves. I still don't know how Rashid eats those things plain...

Gw boys?

Quatre:: nervously: hehe

Heero: I need some new pants too and some shorts for a matter of fact. These are getting a little too tight.

Duo: A little?

Heero: Yes, Duo, a little.

Trowa: we might as well go to the mall that's right around the street from this hotel. I was just itching to get more gel recently.

Duo: Itching? Who says itching anymore? Jeez, Trowa, get into it.

Trowa: I am aren't I:: sweatdrop:

Heero: let's go already. The mall opens at 6:30 am so that leaves us : turns his head mechanically towards the clock: --about an hour and fifteen minutes.

Duo: So let's go get something to eat first.

Wu Fei: Good God, Maxwell, please don't hassle the waitresses like you did last time.

Duo: I did not hassle them Wu man. Unlike you harassing your stupid soybeans and tofu.

Wu Fei: I didn't even have any soybeans or tofu.

Duo:: sweatdrop: yes you did? What are you talking about?

Wu Fei: oblivious onna...

Heero: Everyone hurry up and get ready so we can go downstairs and have breakfast before anyone else comes down. Also, Duo, please don't take that long of a shower like last time?

Duo: But Heero, my hair needs the moisturizing from the Herbal Essences Conditioner. Plus I gotta use the nice body wash so I'll be nice and clean...: giggles: such nice body wash...
