Christmas Day
Mission: To Have the Best Christmas EVER!
Duo: "Today was a wonderful Christmas!
"I as usual got up earlier than everybody else.. wanted to make sure the presents looked awwwesome. they did of course .. mainly because Wufei and I set them out last night.
"So I was standing there, thinking. "dude this looks off the wall." and I notice the front door knob slowly turn.
"So I'm like "shit, why on Christmas!" I jump over the couch, grab a gun and aim at the door.
"All the while I'm thinking "Damn, I thought the door was locked." the door opens and I pull the trigger.
"Guess what.
"I shot Heero.
"I was too close to the door for him to move in time, but hey he's alive. The shot woke everyone else up.
"I'm like totally pissed though, I mean I thought it was some maniac or something,but at the same time I was pissed off that Heero was back.
"Why? Because I had Christmas all planned out perfectly without him.
"Quatre and the others end up in the living room shortly after the gun shot. Trowa left after seeing Heero - went to go it bandages. Wufei just stood there and Quatre ran over and well.. let's just say he was upset that I shoot the bastard.. it didn't matter that he deserted us and all, but decides to show up at 6 in the morning.
"So, Quatre is all like "Duo why did you shoot him?" and I told him that I didn't know it was Heero.
"Heero was bandaged by Quatre ... even though he sort of protested and said that he was able to fix himself.
"Afterwards we had breakfast and swapped presents. Then about 9 o'clock, Wufei announced that he and Trowa were going to start cooking and to not disturb them.
"So Quatre, Heero and I spent most of Christmas just hanging around the house. Quatre read some books that Trowa got him; Heero messed around with his gun; and I watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and tried my hand at building a model - which I finished.
"The dinner was excellent. I decided that even though he pissed me off, I was happy to have Heero back.. I missed Quatre smiling all the time.. even though it was just one day.. its always better when he is happy.
"Anyway, Heero told us that his mission was to "protect" Relena in the mountains. He did just that until it came to skiing. Relena had an accident.
"She fell ..a long way. Heero told us she wasn't happy and went home without saying anything to him. Which let him come back for christmas.
"Well, It's getting to the time of night when I want to take a shower and crawl into bed and just lay there. No sleep for me, I just want sometime to think.. and in this house, your bed is the only place for that.. at least for me.
"Overall this has been a wonderful Christmas. Full of little surprises. New thoughts to think about. Besides that, everything is back to normal.
"As Heero would say... Mission accomplished.
"This is Duo .. and I'm out"
