Chapter Four - Duo's Tea Party (A Mini Chapter)
--Minako's Confrontation--
Duo sighed, these girls were a handful! Luckily for him Minako was teaching the girls some english. He didn't fail to notice that it took over five hours for her to get them to at least say "I hate you" and "I love you" properly though.
And yes, this did mean that Usagi had found her friends. Minako had gone ballistic when she saw him. Tried to beat him up. Luckily for him it was his apartment and he could lock the bathroom door from the inside.
-Flashback!-
Duo stepped into a restaurant, it was dinnertime and Usagi had spotted one of her friends walk inside. He looked around and spotted an old friend of his sitting at the bar. 'Well I'll be damned, Quatre Winner.' he thought smirking.
"Mako-chan!" Usagi suddenly shouted out happily. A little brunette who sat next to Quatre turned at hearing her name, she grinned at seeing her friend.
"Usagi!" the two hugged as if they hadn't seen eachother in years. Duo and Quatre's eyes met, a silent agreement, Hotaru got restless and wanted to be near her friends.
And so, Makoto sat at the bar on Quatre's left, Usagi next to her, Hotaru sat sucking her little thumb on the bar. An empty seat sat infront of Hotaru, she wouldn't let him sit there for some weird reason.
Minako looked around, like the others, she had seen Usagi walk in. It wasn't hard to miss that hair-style. And then she saw him. The guy who had gotten her away from the oncoming cars and practically magically sprouted wings to fly up to that one building. She smirked, this was going to be fun...
"Huh?" went Duo as he saw exactly who had just sat next to him. (Hotaru giggled happily at sight of her friend)
"HEY YOU!" screeched the little girl, and in the middle of the restaurant with everyone watching, Minako lept for him screaming her head off in English doing whatever she could to show her anger.
"I KNEW I WOULD FIND YOU AGAIN!" she shouted, so what if it wasn't technically 'finding' him?
"HEY!" he cried as she pulled his hair. "Let go- get off of me! You crazy brat... Agh! Usagi! Help!" Quatre watched, Makoto held Hotaru, and Usagi tried to pull her friend off of his back. The people mearly shrugged and went back to eating their dinner. The manager kicked them out.
Quatre sighed, at least they got to eat first. Minako bit Duo's arm, 'I guess it's time to intervene.' he thought as he lifted the girl off of his friend with ease. Duo stared at him.
"How did you do that?" he asked looking at Minako who had calmed down. She had hearts in her eyes, staring at the boy- young man who was currently keeping her from killing Duo.
Quatre shrugged, 'This is dangerous.' He looked down at his new friend Makoto, she still had the baby in her arms and was grinning. She looked over at Duo and Usagi.
"This is Quatre!" Makoto said happily. The blonde looked over at Duo, with a wink and smile he held out his hand. Duo was thinking the same thing.
"It's nice to meet you Duo." said Quatre as they shook hands.
"The feeling's mutual Quatre." Duo replied. Quatre smirked. If it got out that they already knew eachother... well it wasn't going to. They could keep up the charade. And it wasn't hard to convince a couple of five year olds anything. Except Minako, she had a keen eye and didn't much like the long-haired boy.
"We still don't have a place to stay." said Minako who looked down at her friends, the two stood next to eachother. Hotaru frowned. She knew something wasn't right. Okay, so since they were all little babies yeah something wasn't right but whatever.
"What do you mean?" asked Quatre. Minako looked up, so the boy knew japanese? Well, this was nice. Very nice. This guy was getting better and better!
"Until Friday, we need a place to live. We can't tell you why though. But... man this is hard work! I've been trying to find someone to take us in all day!" the girl said exasperatedly.
-End Flashback-
'Damn it... why the hell am I so nice?' Duo thought to himself. Usagi had pulled the doe-eye thing on him. The girls needed somewhere to stay, and he said yes. Quatre had come too. When the girls finally went to sleep they could talk then. He didn't know that Quatre was in town. The boy was now on his cell phone, talking to those bodyguards of his.
"...yes, I'm fine Iria. Don't worry! I'll see you in the morning okay? Bye."
Quatre sat on the couch, he had never been in Duo's apartment before. It was pretty clean too. Then again, Duo had been bored out of his freakin' mind earlier. Imagine what he could do if he found nothing interesting.
"Quatre?" came the voice of Minako Aino. Said boy glanced away from the t.v. at the girl. "Uh... I have a favor... can you come here a sec?"
The boy got up, not knowing that the future events would be his fault.
--Operation: Torture Maxwell--
"This will be so much fun!" squealed Minako. Quatre had gone out and bought what they begged him for, with the doe-eyes and everything. The poor boy was a sucker for the doe-eyes.
"Yeah!" agreed Makoto. Since Usagi was closest to Duo, she was the one to drag him to his impending doom, Quatre had been sworn to secrecy and was watching t.v. with Hotaru. Thebaby had flicked it to the 'Independence Day' movie and the blonde had absolutely no problem with that.
"How hard can it be to act like regular little kids? Wow, shows how much I miss being little. Best not take it for granted for now." said Minako to her brunette friend. They were in the middle of Duo's bedroom, the door closed. A chair was between them, and the make-up kit was on the desk.
Duo had been smart to hide his laptop, thinking that kids were too curious for their own good. That and none of them were techies and would probably kill the thing.
The two young men never got to talk, after Quatre had picked up the kit he had been too tired to talk. That and Duo was already asleep anyway, it had been almost midnight anyway. Duo could cook! A little, and it showed since breakfast had been cereal and toast. The girls ate it gratefully. Usagi ate the most, and Hotaru refused to drink any milk. The girls started yelling at Quatre for not buying soymilk too. This made Duo ask questions as to where he had gone that night.
The door opened and Usagi's hand was pretty much attached to Duo's hand. He saw the chair, and they motioned for him to sit down. He rose an eyebrow.
"What-" Makoto ran behind him and shoved him down, Minako brought out the duct tape. Duo's eyes widened. Were they some kind of mini-spies?
Quatre, his savior stepped in just as the girls held down Duo's arms. "Quatre! Help!" the boy only laughed.
"Sorry, you got yourself into this Duo." he said shrugging.
"What? Wait... you knew about this! You! Get back here!" Duo stood up, he was a lot stronger than the girls were together, Minako sighed in frustration and motioned for Quatre to help. He got the picture.
"Sorry Duo, but I would rather be the girl's friend than their enemy. I know, I have quite a few sisters. Sorry pal." and with that all went black for Duo Maxwell.
-About Half an Hour Later-
Duo opened his eyes, and shut them quickly when met with a bright flash and a bunch of giggles. He re-opened them and looked around, kitchen table, couch, t.v., and Minako with a camera.
"You little devil's child! You give me that!" there was no way he was letting them print those. He tried to move, but was met with tons of duct tape wrapped around his chest holding his arms to his sides, the evil wooden chair was now sitting outside of his room.
"You look beautiful Duo!" Usagi chirped as she came from behind the counter. A box of crackers in her hand.
"What?" he said in confusion. Oh no... his head didn't feel right. And then Makoto stepped forward with a mirror.
"Oh shit I'm a drag queen!" he shouted at the top of his lungs. Baby Hotaru screamed in time with him.
"EEEEEhhh!" squealed the baby, the t.v. had been switched to the nature channel. And Duo saw her watching a mother deer give birth up close.
"Oh god! What is wrong with you kids?" he shrieked. Minako had pulled his hair up like hers, bow and all. She'd even put her ribbon in. Makoto had put on eyeshadow, lipstick, blush, and even tried to trim his eyebrows. (thank god Quatre had stopped her) Usagi painted hisnails purple, orange, green, and pink.
"If you want help from Quatre," said Minako as she snapped a few more shots. "he left a little while ago. He said 'bye'."
"Girls..." the young man growled. "If you don't untape me right now I'll kick you out and make sure you starve!" Usagi stuffed a few more crackers in her mouth, Hotaru went "ewww" when the baby deer started pulling itself out, Makoto turned off the t.v. and hid the remote, and Minako put the camera up to her own eye and pressed the flash button.
"Whew... what a rush!" said Minako as she blinked several times, out of her right eye she could now only see white. Oh well, it would pass in a few minutes.
"Anyway, you can't be untaped until we have had our tea party! We all got dressed up for the occasion!" Duo blinked, the girls wore the same clothes, but that morning they had all bathed (alone) and had put on make-up themselves. Except Hotaru who had tried to eat the lipstick. Not much was put on, but the girls did look cute with their rosy cheeks. (their nails were all either orange, pink, or green)
"What... the hell is a tea party?" Duo did not like this. Sure, they were good at putting their own crap on but his was on super thick!
Usagi dropped her crackers and her eyes widened. "You don't know what a tea party is? Where have you been your whole life? Under a rock?"
Duo groaned, they were going to kill him before Friday. He was now hoping it would come sooner.
"We'll just have to fix that!" delcared Makoto. Oh yes, this would be fun...
The girls had fixed the kitchen table up, a table cloth covered it, several couch cusions sat on the chairs, and plates and cups were set up nicely. Makoto had made some tea, and had taken some of the fridge food and made it 'tea food'. Like, the chinese he had the day before, the dumplings now sat neatly on a plate.
'I don't believe this,' he thought when he saw the cake that was also there. Duo liked cake, but how would a little kid know how to make one? Not to mention there was the whole reading thing.
'That traitor Quatre must have had something to do with this, probably laughing his damn head off at me now.' he figured, shrugging inwardly.
Chocolate on the outside, yellow on the inside. That cake would soon be devoured by two people. Usagi and Duo. He didn't normally eat that much, but it would be a good punishment for them to not get any.
"Can you guys at least let one of my arms free?" asked Duo. "I can't eat or drink tea with my arm taped up." The girls looked at eachother, Minako shrugged. She then walked up to him and freed his right arm. Then the girls pushed his chair up to the table and they each took their own seats.
"I guess Hotaru it too little to join us?" he asked again. He turned his head around to see that she had found the remote and was watching an 'I Love Lucy' re-run.
"Yeah, let's eat!" Usagi practically shouted, she dove for the cake, and so did Duo. And within five seconds it was gone and the two were met with daggers from Makoto and Minako's side of the table.
"You pigs! We didn't even get any!" Duo grabbed the pot of tea and downed it.
"Hey! You ugly fat pigs!" agreed Makoto. Duo and Usagi exchanged glances. Fat?
"Well... at least we've managed to enjoy our lives this much! And if it means being fat," cried Usagi majestically as she hopped onto the table. "then I shall go on eating!"
(A/N: I hope you guys found this a nice bit of reading. I enjoyed writing it and blah blah. Blah blah blah! Blah Heero is hot blah blah blah! ...Booga booga booga!)
