A.N. Just for future reference (ie. later in this chapter…) I don't think there's any such thing as a nose guard but oh well… =)… oh and and is me butting in
Heero waited outside the doctor's office with the four other chibis. Duo was inside, seeing Dr. Sally Po about his little…problem…
"Duo, how did you get your finger to stick up your nose and stay there like that?" Dr. Po asked patiently for the third time.
"Ooh… what this?" Duo picked up a hypodermic syringe from the medical tool kit on the trolley beside the examining bed. "Hehehe," he giggled after examining it for a while, "This thing funny!"
"Duo! Put it down! It's dangerous!" Dr. Po warned him and tried to snatch it off him.
"Nope," Duo swung it out of her reach, "you didn't say the magic word…"
"Please?" Sally asked
"Haha, wrong!" Duo laughed. "It was abracadabra!" He threw the syringe across the room like a javelin, narrowly missing Dr. Po's head and made contact with the groin area of a 3D plastic model of the human anatomy and stuck there. ouch?
"Duo," Dr. Po asked him again testily, "how did you get your finger stuck in your nose? If you don't tell me, I'll bring Heero in here and you can tell him instead of me!" She found it amazing that he could still cause so much mischief with just one hand, the other being stuck up his nose. He seemed to have a great skill for it
Duo, who was playing with the light switch on the x-ray display screen, suddenly stopped, finger halfway pressing it on again.
"Okay, okay- no need to get so mean!" Duo squealed. "I put some funny stuff that looked like toothpaste on my finger and I wanna na smell it cos it looked like it would smell like strawberry and I love strawberries! Duo you have any strawberry lollipops?"
"No, Duo we don't have any strawberry lollipops," Dr. Po sighed, getting a little exasperated. There was a reason Duo was chosen to be a Gundam pilot and she could see it now. If the enemy interrogator didn't die of annoyance and/or exasperation first, they'd probably release him because they wouldn't bother wasting their time on someone so stupid. But what could she do? It was her job. Dammit, acting stupid was his bloody God-given talent or something.
"And…?" Dr. Po prompted him
"Well, I couldn't smell it properly so I put it right in my nose where all the smell guys work, so I could smell it better," Duo finished cheerfully, with a slight nasal accent.
"Hmmm…" Dr. Po puzzled over the situation. How to extract his middle finger from his nostril without taking half his nose off as well as the middle finger…
"Miss," he tugged at her uniform with his free hand, "miss, my nose is itchy," he squealed, "Ah…ah…ah…ATCHOO!" He let out an almighty sneeze, which propelled him backwards because all the pressure of the sneeze was being exerted out of one nostril instead of two. He also let fly a lot of mucus that was jammed in the back of his nose, out onto almost all of her surgical tools.
"Duo are you all right?" Dr. Po asked. "Dammit! Now I'm going to have to sterilise all my tools again!" she raised her voice to a level that was almost a yell as she noticed the yellow goo dripping off her precious instruments pretty disgusting sight, I know Duo sat up and showed her his snot-covered finger proudly
"Looksies! My finger's all better now!" he laughed
"Uggh… that's very…nice…" Dr. Po wrinkled her nose in disgust and handed the toddler a tissue to clean his middle finger up with.
Five minutes later, Duo strutted out of the surgery with his middle finger bandaged and a little nose guard refer to A.N. which had wire mesh covering his nostrils, but still allowed him to breathe, fitted onto his face to prevent and future "accidents".
"See, look, look!" Duo boasted, sticking up his bandaged middle finger for all to see. "Me special!"
"Waa!" Relena began to wail and hid behind Heero's legs. "He's sticking up his rude finger at me!"
Somewhere from behind them, they overheard a rather loud remark from one of the people waiting for consultation. "How terribly rude! I hope his father disciplines him good and proper!"
Heero gritted his teeth together in frustration "Duo, put that finger down!" he hissed. "It's offensive to the public"
"But Uncle Heero, I can't put it down! Dr. Po- po says my finger's brokey and I have to wear a cast so I can't put this finger down!" Duo laughed.
"Maxwell, you look like a stupid baka pig with that wire thing attached to your face," Wufei told him haughtily
"Well you're just jealous, you stupid little poo- poo!" Duo stuck his tongue out at Wufei and turned his back on him. Wow, Heero thought, even in childhood they carry out their enmity…
"Grrr…" Heero's eyebrow twitched dangerously but he decided not to say or do anything for the sake of keeping the public peace. "Come on," he finally said through clenched teeth. "Let's go!"
"Nuh- uh," Sally stopped them, "wait"
"What is it now?" Heero turned around with a look on his face that was as close to pained as he could achieve.
"Yoink," Sally quickly snatched chibi Wufei from Heero's clutches. "This little dragon stays with me," she declared, a twinkle in her eye. "I don't exactly trust him with you," she raised an eyebrow. "And," she continued, "I believe you own me some money for my professional consultation!" she held out her palm expectantly
"Professional consultation my ass- the only think you managed to get Duo to do was stick up his rude finger!" Heero snapped
"Ooh, aren't we moody today?" Sally teased. "Is it your time of month or what?"
Heero death-glared her.
"Okay, okay, I'll drop it… but you ARE meant to pay me you know… the law is the law, I didn't write 'em"
"All right!" Heero practically yelled and roughly handed her his American Express Card. She ran it through the credit card machine but got an error beep.
"Uh oh," Sally informed Heero, "it seems you've maxed out on your credit card again, Heero. Were you buying spare and update parts for your laptop again?"
"No!" Heero protested. "How can I be out of credit? I expanded my credit limit to $10, 000 just last wee-," he stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly realized where all his $10, 000 credit had gone. And the most convenient thing was, he could sum it all up in one word- "Relena," he growled. His eyebrow twitching furiously again, he shoved a $100 note into Sally's hand, snatched back his American Express and walked out, the other toddlers having no real choice but to tag along. As he stormed out into the street, Heero thought to himself, "Mental note to self- after this is over, kill Relena"
A.N. Hey! What did you ppl think of that? Probably not as good as the first chapter, but oh well, shit happens, what can we do about it? ^^ Well I hope you enjoyed reading it anyway…
