Day 4
Duo's plan was crazy, idiotic, irrational and just plain stupid. And despite all the negative things Heero concluded the plan was, he still agreed to the crazy, idiotic, irrational and just plain stupid plan. Duo had Heero whipped; W-H-I-P-P-E-D and the poor boy didn't even know it. To top it all off, Duo came up with the 'brilliant' idea in about the time it took for Heero to brew a cup of coffee.
Now, what was Duo's 'brilliant' plan? Well, the plan was to… dump green dye into their neighbour's pool. You would think Heero would have been the sensible enough not to agree with Duo's little plan. He was the sensible one after-all.
– But even telling Duo what a crazy, idiotic, irrational and just plain stupid his plan didn't convince Duo to change his mind about going through with it. He dismissed Heero's input, walking over him like he was a doormat! Oh yeah, Heero was so whipped. Poor guy. He really didn't have a choice about the matter, so he just went along with Duo's plan. It took the whole day to gather up enough supplies to effectively dye a large-sized pool green. On the fifth night of preparations, Duo and Heero were ready to start faze one of operation Little green men.
Day 5
"Pass me the rope Hee-chan." Duo whispered, trying not to draw attention to the fact he was failing miserably at scaling the neighbour's fence to get to the unsupervised pool on the other side.
"Is this much rope really necessary?" Heero asked, handing Duo the end of the forty foot rope.
"Of course it is! You can never have too much rope!" Duo mumbled to his partner. Flipping the rope above his head, he tossed it over the fence, whistling in appreciation at the awesome feat he had just accomplished. "Look at that! Smooth and graceful. And on my first try too! Damn, I'm good."
Heero rolled his eyes "Duo, the fence is eight feet high."
"Your point?"
"You're six feet tall."
"I still don't see your point"
"You- you know what? Just forget I said anything."
Duo shrugged indifferently "Fine! Be that way! You're just jealous of my rope throwing abilities." He mumbled, beginning his trek up the fence with the assistance of his trusted rope. Duo clumsily fell off the fence once he reached the other side, flopping down onto the hard pavement with a sickening thud. It was shortly followed by a painful moan. "Heero?... Oww! Heero, you there?"
"Yes, Baka. I'm here." Heero replied, standing calmly by Duo's crumpled form on the ground.
"How did you get over here so fast?" Duo asked with a puzzled expression. Pushing himself up off the ground, he brushed the dirt off of his black stealth clothes.
"The gate was unlocked."
What? Duo thought. Heero must have mentally received it.
"The gate. You know, the one that lets people into the yard. The one right there!" Heero pointed to a wooden gate that blended into the fence.
"You take away all the fun in this." Duo grumbled, unzipping the backpack and taking out the six large containers of green dye
"Duo, we're breaking the law. This isn't suppose to be fun."
"Then you've obviously never broke the law before." Duo muttered, unscrewing the bottle of dye and watching with rapt fascination as the bright green liquid flowed from the bottles into the pool.
Heero sighed and followed Duo's example by pouring in his bottles of dye. This better be worth it.
Day 6
"Heero!" Duo screamed from upstairs. But to Heero it sounded as if he was right beside his ear.
"Do you have to scream?" Heero yelled back at his lover, clutching his coffee cup in preparation in case he felt it was necessary to pelt it at Duo.
"That's the only way to get your attention!" Duo screamed…again.
"Duo! Stop yelling and come here!" Heero scolded, his grip tightening on his coffee cup.
"Only if you promise not to throw your coffee cup at me!"
"How the hell do you do that?" Heero practically growled back.
"Do what?" Duo asked, lowering his voice a few notches.
"How do you know what I'm going to throw at you?"
"I know you better then you know yourself." Came Duo's simple reply.
That's a scary thought "What did you want Duo?" Heero asked, annoyance making his voice thick with exasperation.
" I want you to come see this!"
Heero slowly walked down the halls off the house, looking in all the rooms trying to find his elusive lover. He found Duo standing at the den window, looking at the neighbour's front yard while trying to hold in his laughter. Heero came up beside his giggly partner and looked out the window to see what was so funny. Out on the neighbor's lawn was Treize and Millardo with… green skin. Even Millarodo's blond hair was dyed a lighter shade of green than his skin. Both were yelling at their realtor who was sheltering scared buyers behind her. Definitely worth it. Heero grinned.
Day 7
Dear Duo and Heero Maxwell-Yuy,
Please refrain from placing chemical substances into our pool. Especially chemical substances that result in the swimmer to be dyed green for days. I do not know what justified this outlandish attack on our outdoor swimming pool but I assume it has something to do with the fact that both of our houses are up for sale. If you had come to Milliardo and myself we could have made an agreement to sell our houses at different times. However, since you have started this childish war that is not possible anymore. Please accept this nicely wrapped gift on me and my husband's behalf and I hope your house sells relatively fast.
After our house sells first, of course.
Sincerely yours,
Treize
Heero calmly folded up the elegantly written letter and placed it onto the kitchen table beside a box wrapped in bright purple paper. Duo was sitting across the table, watching his lover's stoic reaction. Personally, he was pissed and ready for the war to start. But Duo knew Heero would most likely throw this back in his face.
"Duo this is entirely your fault! If you didn't start this idiotic idea then we could have made a compromise!" Heero snapped, slapping his hands onto the table, causing an air tidal wave to knock the letter off the kitchen table.
Duo decided to completely ignore his Lover's comment and tentatively drew the brightly wrapped package open. "You don't think it's a bomb, do you?"
"No, it's not a bomb, Duo. They want to move away from us, not kill Us."
"There's not much of a difference." Duo mumbled, pulling off the purple ribbon and pealing off the paper. Underneath the paper was a cardboard box taped up tight. On the other side it said in red pen:
"The war is now on."
Duo gave Heero a brief look for reassurance before opening up the lid of the box.
There in the neatly wrapped box, was Duo and Heero's first pet they'd ever had together. Their cat Kale.
"Oh my god! They killed Kale!" Duo exclaimed, hiding his head in his arms, morning for the loss of his dead pet.
"No, they didn't Duo. Kale died two years ago."
Duo looked up and gave Heero a pathetic glare "Okay, fine! They dug up Kale's dead body and put it in a box! Happy now?"
"Satisfactory"
"You know we can't let this slide."
"With you, nothing slides."
"Damn right!"
