Ok, I got a review from WaterDragonfromtheUnderworld,(BTW thank you so much!)that made realize that this is probably too confusing so I'm going to review as the next chapter. I'll probably do that every few chapters. So, sorry for the confusion! ':) (Sweatdrop) Hope you like the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and the idea for the bombs comes from "The Pigman". I had to read it in Lit.
"Ha! Told you we'd win." Wufei stretched and clasped his hands behind his head. "Victory is-" Duo shoved him in the back.
"Alright, Wufei, we get-aah!" Someone jumped on Duo's back and he staggered.
"Ah, Duo, you're so weak." Arashi jumped down and fell into step next to him. "So, did you do it, Trowa?"
Trowa shook his head and Duo peered at the two of them. "Do what?"
Arashi sighed, "Oh for the love of-The big prank, Duo! The one you guys have been planning for days!"
Duo stared at her blankly and she rolled her eyes. "Quick review. We got the idea out of the book they made you read in Lit, remember? We set off the bombs in the bathroom?"
"Bombs?" The thought somehow comforted Duo. It sounded a lot like the stuff they did at home.
"Yes, you make the stuff that goes inside and Heero's making the outside. Trowa's planting it in the boys' bathroom and I'm getting the girls'. Half-way through English, POW! Huge explosion, everyone runs, and no way to pin it on us, because we will be little angels in our classrooms."
Heero swung his backpack off his shoulder and dug in it as Arashi spoke. After a minute he pulled out a soda can. The top was cut off and a candle with some string tied to one end was taped to the side. The string went to the candle wick, wrapped around it, and dangled into the can. Heero gave a triumphant smile and threw the can to Duo. "You got the stuff yet?"
Duo caught the can and shook his head, "Not quite." Duo knew it was true. He had almost made the perfect inside for the can. Something was missing though…
"Oh, don't make plans for this weekend; mom says we're going to Mèmerè. Grandma's got a nice beach house." Arashi explained as Duo continued to examine the soda can.
"I guess you guys are leaving Wednesday? Since we have a half-day?" Relena had been staring absently at the park across the street as they walked.
"Hey, did you guys get a new student? And exchange from L1?" Arashi turned to Duo as they crossed the street and paused on the other side.
"Yeah, Hilde Une." Duo stretched and put the soda can in his bag. "Why?"
"Cause I got her sister, Lucrezia. She said her sister was about your age, and one about Solo's."
Duo nodded and waved as the other four boys and Relena went their separate way. He punched Arashi on the arm and ran for the house and she swore and chased after him.
"Can't catch me!" Duo darted up the stairs and through the door, tossing his bag aside.
"Welcome home, Duo." His mom looked up from her spot by the sink. "How was your day?"
Duo glanced hurriedly around and ducked under the table as the door opened and Arashi stormed in. "It was great."
Arashi sprinted through the door and glared around. Duo pulled his legs up to his chest and scooted back against the chair behind him. Arashi took one more look around and turned to leave. Duo waited until he heard her footsteps on the stairs before he squirmed out.
"Any homework?" The soft clink of the dishes started up again and his mom didn't turn around.
"Math and history." Duo made a face and walked to the fridge. He dug through it and grabbed a soda before going into the living room and flipping on the TV.
The same old stuff was on, explosion and attacks on some politician. Duo sighed and leaned back into the couch. It reminded him of back home where he probably would have been the one making explosions. Speaking of explosions, he still had to make the stuff for Trowa's plan.
"There you are." Arashi grabbed Duo and put him in a headlock. "Hiding under the table?"
Duo tried to pull away but Arashi had too tight a hold on him. "Say it! Say 'Uncle'!" Duo took a deep breath of air, grabbed Arashi's arm and flipped her over the couch and onto her back. She lay on the ground, gasping for breath and staring up at him. She jumped up and launched at him.
"Mom! I'm home and I brought a friend!" Solo stepped through the door. He glanced over and shook his head as Duo glanced up from where Arashi had him pinned to the ground to see a dark-blonde girl follow Solo through the door. "Mom, this is Middie Une. She's a new student from one of the colonies!"
"Weird that they'd get put in all of our grades, isn't it?" Arashi yelped loudly as Duo flipped her over and Middie jumped.
"Ignore them." Solo grabbed her by the arm, "C'mon, we got to do that history project."
Duo sat on Arashi, pinning her arms to her side with his knees. "Do you surrender, Ma'am?"
"Ma'am? At least you know your place." Arashi thrashed around for a minute and then relaxed. "Alright, I give."
Duo rolled off her and stood up. "I'm going to go finish that stuff for Trowa now."
Arashi followed him up the stairs and into his room. Junk lay everywhere, clothes, books, comics, more clothes, and a plastic scythe from Halloween. A desk sat against one wall and a tuber ware sat on top holding a thick, off-white gel inside.
"Eww, what is that?" Arashi looked over his shoulder as Duo sat at the swiveling chair in front of the desk. "It looks like glue."
"There's some in there." That was true as well, though Duo didn't know how he knew. He grabbed something green from off a shelf and dumped it into the glue-like substance. It bubbled and hissed horribly.
Arashi began choking and Duo looked around. She had taken several steps back and had her hand over her mouth and noise. A minute later Duo could smell it too and he coughed and pushed the chair way back.
"It smells like-like-ack!" Arashi darted out of the room with Duo on her heels. "It smells like too many horrible things."
Duo followed as Arashi sped down the stairs and grabbed his bag. He ducked into the living room and prayed the smell wouldn't come downstairs.
Half an hour later Duo finished his history homework and packed it away. Arashi looked up from her spot on the couch and then out at the hall. "Uh-oh, mom's going for your room. Probably packing."
Duo jumped up and ran for the stairs. "Mom, wait! I can explain!"
Duo darted through his door to see his mom folding clothes on his bed. "Explain what? What are you talking about?"
Duo stepped to his desk and stared down at the green sludge that no longer smelled. Arashi followed after him and sniffed experimentally. "Nothin'. That's weird." Duo nodded and grabbed a piece of paper off the desk. He pulled a spoon out of one of the drawers and scooped up some of the green liquid. It squelched and Arashi looked away as Duo set the stuff on the paper.
"What are you doing?"
"We have to see if this stuff'll work, so I'm brining it to Mèmerè's. We can set it off on the beach."
Arashi looked at the stuff warily as Duo wrapped up his small packet and put it in a Ziploc. He smiled at her and put the bag in a suitcase he dug out of his closet.
