Yay! Third chapter! And I wasn't going to go past 1, but this is really fun. I like having Duo as an older brother so...anyway. I'm not going to do the "review or I won't write" (obviously) but it is nice to get them. winkwinkcoughcough Hope you enjoy!

I screamed loudly when the cold marbles hit me. My eyes snapped open as I rolled around, trying to escape the small, cold balls. Duo stood over me, laughing while he held an empty bucket.

"Cold marbles. And you can't escape 'em 'cause they roll with you."

I jumped up and tackled him, wrapping my hands around his throat. It was Trowa that stopped me from killing Duo, curse him.

"Let me go! I'm gonna kill him! Lemme go!" I thrashed against Trowa's grip as he held my arms behind my back and kicked out at Duo who was sitting on the floor. I could see the wind my kick was generating move his hair. "Leggo!"

A pillow flew from the door and nailed me in the face. I looked up and waved awkwardly to Heero. "Quatre says we need to meet downstairs. I advise locking her in her room."

"WHAT!" I squirmed while Duo locked the door of my room. "You can't do that! This is my house to!"

They ignored me and Trowa threw me down on the bed and ducked out before I could get up. "This is not cool!" I pounded on the door and stomped back to my bed. When this produced no reaction, I turned on my music and put it on full blast. This should make it easy for them to talk, I thought spitefully. Jerks, locking me in my own room like this. The floor creaked every time I stepped within the square foot center of my room. I stomped down particularly hard and my foot went through. I stared at the hole in my floor for a minute and then screamed when the floor around it caved in as well.

"What did you do?" Duo jumped up as I crashed through the coffee table in the middle of our living room.

"Ow, the floor fell in." I stared up at the sizable hole in the ceiling. "That's a really big hole."

"A really expensive hole." Duo growled as he threw himself onto the couch.

"You never really seem to mind if it's expensive when you're out with Hilde." I shot back. "And besides, like you can't get some money off those 'Doctors' that are always giving you jobs."

Duo leaned back with his head over the back of the couch, "Why don't you go play with your little friends?"

"All my friends are on vacation. Their families are willing to have fun." I stuck my tongue out at Duo and then brightened as an idea struck me. "I'll go to the circus. Can I, please?"

Duo jumped up, "Yes, that's perfect. You can stay with Catherine during our mission. Maybe she'll take you forever."

I glared at him. "Thank you for letting me go and I hate you with an unrivaled passion."

Duo smiled, grabbed my head, and kissed the top of my head. I screamed and ran for the stairs as the door opened and two women stepped through. I ran up the stairs, screaming, "I have Duo cooties! Help me!"

Duo ran to the base of the stairs and yelled after me, "You're related to me! You have my 'cooties' genetically."

This made me scream louder and sprinted into my room, making for the bed. I ran through the door and headed straight across. I stepped in hole on the floor and fell through. I caught the edge as I went through and hung there, swinging slightly. The floor in front of me buckled slightly and I yelped. "Don't come underneath me, the floor's about to give."

Duo's voice spoke up from under me, "Then let go. If the floor breaks anymore your stuff'll fall through."

"Gee, thanks, Duo. Thanks a lot." I glanced over my shoulder to see them all staring at me. The floor buckled some more and I bounced slightly, making the floor groan. The drop was only five or six feet but I still felt it in my legs and feet. I straightened and bowed as the two women clapped.

"Hiya, Hilde. Hi, Sally. What're you guys doing here?"

"Visiting," Sally voice was too casual and I knew she was lying. "What happened to the ceiling?"

"A herd of elephants went through. It was cool; they fell through the ceiling and then ran through the kitchen." I nodded and Sally laughed.

"Speaking of elephants, you're leaving." Duo pushed me towards the stairs.

"I'm going. Don't push." Duo ignored me, (imagine that) and shoved me up the stairs. It only took me a few minutes to pack and I could hear them making small talk through the hole in my floor.

"You can talk about the job you got, I mean, who'm I gonna tell?" I leaned through the hole and saw them exchange glances. "Fine. You just fall behind schedule because you're afraid of what I might say."

I finished packing and ran downstairs. Duo handed me some money and grabbed my jacket as I walked for the door. "Be careful," He looked like it hurt him to say that. "Don't waste the money." That one didn't hurt him.

"Yes, Mother. I will. Let me guess what's next, don't talk to strangers?" I made a face, "I know what I'm doing, you shove me from one person to the next enough."

"Good-bye, Arashi." Hilde waved as I walked out the door and I held up my hand to show I'd heard her.

A/N: Wow, this was a really slow chapter. Ah well, I'm going to try to bring the dream back into importance, but it'll take a while. Something will happen in the next chapter, tho' And I plan on posting the next chapter really soon.
