Opposite Day
By Loki
Chapter 5: For Love and Squirrels
"AHH!" yelled Quatre, as it hit him in the back.
He fell to the ground.Loki knew that this wasn't good. If this gun had the type of power as they said, the loving, helpful, kind-hearted Quatre would be…
Quatre stood up and began to chuckle. First it was low, and then it grew. His eyes were maniacal and his laugh gave off a creepy killer vibe. "So.." he started, after chuckling some more, "Who wants to die first?"
Still on the ground, Loki picked up the gun and stared at it. "Dammit! I-I did it again!"
Danni looked out of the window and sighed. They had only been driving for ten minutes, but she was already bored. However, the bouncing teen to his right was having the time of his life. Her 'boyfriend' hummed numerous songs to himself, while he dislocated his wrist, took of the handcuffs, and put the back on. Danni winced as she heard the sickening crack of him putting his wrist back in place. A shiver went down her back and she thought, Oooohhh.. I am gonna kill you when I get back, Loki.
"I still can't believe that you're a cop! That is sooo awesome! Can I play with your sirens?"
The officer stared back at the boy using his rear view mirror. This was a strange one all right. Perhaps juvenile wasn't the best place for him. Maybe an asylum, or something to help him out…
"Danni, what are we going to do when we get there?" Heero whispered to her.
"Hm?" she asked, not really paying attention.
"Well we can't go with him… we have to get back to the others."
Danni closed her eyes. "I know, I know…"
Seeing that Danni was in the middle of thinking of a plan, Heero slumped back into his seat. His chest suddenly tickled, and he let out a soft laugh. Something furry was moving around in his shirt. Ah! The squirrel!
He reached in, and grabbed the squirrel from underneath his shirt. "Here you go, little guy!" he exclaimed. "Have some air!"
Danni sweat dropped, and stared at the squirrel. "Heero.. Was that thing..?"
The squirrel looked around and saw its opportunity of escape. It leaped out of Heero's hand, and proceeded towards Danni and the window. "Ah! Get away!" she said, and swatted at it.
The squirrel flew towards the driver's seat, and landed on the officer. "What the?"
The officer tried to catch the squirrel while also steering the car. But alas, he could only do one thing at a time, and the police car was sent flying off the street, and down into a nearby forest. Danni screamed and covered her face. "We're gonna die, we're gonna die.., we're gonna die…" she repeated over and over again.
The police car came to a halt as it hit a very sturdy tree. Feeling that they were not moving anymore, Danni dared to look up. She saw leaves and branches everywhere. The officer was laying on his back in the front, obviously unconscious, but he was breathing. "Heero!"
She looked around and didn't see him anywhere. "Heero?" she called out again.
Trying to open the door, she kicked at it a couple times. Putting all of her strength into a kick, she kicked at the door, until it busted open. "Oww.. Oww.." she said as she walked out.
"Heero/" she called again, looking around the forest. Nothing. Afraid that he was hurt, she began to search all around the police car. "Danni!" came a familiar voice. "Yaaay! You're alright!"
Danni looked up into the tree, and saw Heero sitting on a branch. "Boy! It was a good thing I got out of the car in time before it hit the tree!" he said, wiping his forehead with his arm.
Danni felt her face twitch, and she calmly asked, "Heero, will you get down here, please?"
Heero hesitated, but the nodded. Jumping down, he landed swiftly on his feet, as gracious as a cat. She walked up and punched the back of his head, "This is all your fault!"
Heero rubbed his head and laughed. "Haha! You're an abusive girlfriend!"
Danni began to blush. "I am not your girlfriend!"
She hit him again, which only made his smile bigger. After their little 'brawl' had ended, Heero felt something in his pocket. "Oh? What's this?"
"Hopefully not another squirrel," Danni said under her breath.
He pulled out a gun and stared at it. "Agh!" yelled Danni as she took a step back. "W-Why do you have a gun?"
Her memory then went back to the time in the hanger, when he was pointing a gun at Rori. Oh please don't shoot me… she thought.
"Here," said Heero, handing the gun to her. "I want you to hold this. I don't like weapons. Also, here's a knife that I found.."
He dropped the objects into her hand, which she found to be surprisingly light. "Umm." she started, looking at the gun uneasily. "Is it loaded?"
"Of course," he replied happily.
Danni groaned and thought of leaving the gun with the officer. However she thought against it, because they might need it. But then she thought of the downfalls of keeping the gun. She didn't want her leg shot off as she walked with it in her pocket, and she didn't want to hold it out in public. She sighed and tried to think of a logical solution. "Danni! Hurry up!" yelled Heero.
She looked up, and saw that he had begun walking without here. "H-Hey! Wait up!"
Loki placed her head in her hand and sighed, "Dammit.." she cursed. "Now we've got a psycho-killer on the loose…"
Duo slowly walked up to Quatre. "Hey, Q-man, c'mon, you don't want to kill any-"
"Silence!" yelled Quatre, as he punched Duo in the stomach.
Trowa and Wufei went to help their fallen friend. Elizabeth looked scared for a minute, but then turned angry. She marched up to Quatre and slapped him across the cheek. "How dare you do that! He is your friend! Don't you have any shame!"
She went to slap him again, but he caught her hand in mid air, and brought his face close to hers. He smiled evilly and laughed. Elizabeth took a step back, and freed herself from his hold. She then went and hid behind Lexi.
Lexi walked up to Loki, and extended her hand. "Maybe I should hold onto this gun for a little while."
Loki hesitated, and then thought that that was best, and relinquished it to Lexi. In the middle of passing it, Lexi accidentally pulled the trigger, and it shot off again, headed straight for Quatre. "No!" yelled Elizabeth, knowing full well what happens if you get hit a second time.
She jumped into Quatre, pushing him out of the way. The laser, instead of hitting Quatre, went straight and hit a garbage can. "What was that for?" Quatre yelled at her, pushing her forcefully off of him.
Elizabeth stood up, and made a 'huff' noise, while restraining herself from kicking the daylights out of him. Trowa interjected this whole thing and said, "This is getting out of hand.. Heero and Danni are somewhere, Rori and Quatre are personality-changed, and we still don't know how to change them back."
He began to talk with the others about how they need to contact the doctor as fast as possible. Meanwhile, Rori was growing increasingly bored by the second. Having ditched Elizabeth's cell phone, the public water fountain, and the police man that was chasing her away from the restaurant, she wanted something new. I wanna play a game! How about… AH! her eyes lit up. How about follow the leader!
Her eyes first landed on Trowa, who was standing with the others as they discussed back and forth. He wouldn't be too much fun to imitate…
Loki was being strangled by Lexi, whom she played a joke on, and Rori thought better of mimicking that. Looks too painful.. Next, she looked at Quatre, who had the biggest smile on his face. He was laughing crazily, and looked liked he was enjoying himself. "Alright!" she said, and hopped towards him.
Standing next to him, she placed her hands on her hips, and let out a big, "MWAH HA HAA!"
Quatre stopped his plans of killing people and stared at the girl beside him, who continued to laugh. "Are you.. Are you mocking me?" he yelled.
"Are you mocking me?" Rori imitated.
He poked her in the side and told her to shut up. She, in turn, did the same. "Don't poke me!" he yelled.
"Don't poke me!"
"Stop that!"
"Stop that!"
Quatre growled. He brought out his gun and pointed at her. "I'll shoot you!"
Rori frowned, and looked around. She needed a gun to point at him. While Lexi was lecturing Loki about not putting bugs down people's shirts, Rori grabbed the persona amend gun she was holding, and pointed it at Quatre. "I'll shoot you!" she finally imitated.
"NO!" yelled everyone.
"Wait.." started Duo. "Did we every think that shooting them again will fix it? Maybe we should try it!"
Elizabeth took a step towards Duo. "No, Duo.. You don't want to-"
"Maybe that's a good idea," said Wufei. "Let's try it!"
"Idiot!" yelled Loki. "Can't your brain understand what we're trying to tell you?"
"Brain?" asked Rori, still holding the gun.
Everyone froze. Rori shrugged, and said, "Okay!" She brought the gun up to Quatre's head.
"No!" yelled Elizabeth, who grabbed the gun and ran away, far out of Rori's reach.
"Heeeey!" Rori complained. "Give it baack! It's mine!"
When Elizabeth said no again, Rori fell on the ground and started crying, "But I had it first!"
Wufei chuckled. "Stupid woman."
She looked up at him, and her bottom lip trembled. Then, without a moment of warning, she ran up to him, and buried her face into his shirt, crying. "What the… get off me, woman!" he yelled at her, while trying to get her off.
"Awwww!" All the girls chimed together. "That's sooo cute!"
Trowa hid a smile, and Duo gave him the thumbs up sign, "Way to go, Wu-man! I told you that all the babes flock to ya!"
"Maxwell, if I wasn't in this situation right now, I would come over there and kick your-"
"Waaaaah!" interrupted Rori, who started crying even more.
"Shut up woman!"
Loki walked over and smacked Wufei's back playfully. "Now don't go making me an aunt so quickly, there!"
"Woman.." Wufei growled, his blush intensifying.
Everyone continued to laugh at him as Rori started hugging him even more.
Danni trudged along side Heero as he continued humming to himself. It wouldn't have bothered her so much if it was just humming, but he decided to make his own little hand motions with it, and pretty soon, he was in full dance mood. Trying to not let her anger get the best of her, she slowly said, "Heero… will you please stop?"
"Why?" he asked. He stopped humming, but continued his dance.
"Because it's annoying."
"Really? But I haven't got to the best part yet!"
Danni shot him a glare and he instantly became quiet and relaxed. "I.. I'm sorry," he said, as his eyes began to water.
Danni saw that he was starting to cry, and she sighed. "I'm sorry, its just that every since yesterday, this whole thing has been getting on my nerves."
"I'm sorry.." he said again.
"Will you stop saying sorry? It's not your fault," Danni stated. She began thinking about how he reminded her of Loki whenever something really bad happened. Loki hates it when she thinks that people are mad at her, so she would continually say sorry until they forgave her, or told her that she was annoying, which made her smile.
"So-" Heero started, but thought better of it.
Danni was about to say her own apology, until she heard a faint rumbling sound from behind them. "What's that?"
"Ooh! Maybe it's a stampede! And there is a large heard of bulls coming down, and they're going to smash into us!" Heero said, raising his arms us when he said ' smash'. "Standing here would be suicide! Lets move over."
Shaking her head at his made-up story, she responded with, "Funny, when I look at you, it doesn't seem like suicide would be a problem for you."
"Oh no!" Heero corrected. "I disapprove of suicide more that anything!"
Danni managed a smile, when she heard the noise growing louder. "Okay, now I really want to know what this is!"
She stopped and looked behind her, trying to figure things out. A small cloud of smoke started to build up in the distance. Something really was coming, but what.. Danni's eyes widened. First she started to meekly laugh, and then took a step back. "N-No way…"
"Hm?" Heero started to look back as well, but was cut off when Danni grabbed his hand, and started to pull him away, running as fast as she could.
"What the hell is that?" she yelled, not believing what she saw.
Squirrels.
Lots and lots of Squirrels.
And the one that was leading the rampaging rodents..? None other than the poor squirrel that Heero has kept hidden in his shirt. "What is going on!" Danni yelled. "Squirrels don't act like that! God, nothing is going right anymore since I met you guys!"
"Squirrels?" Heero's head perked up, and saw the on-coming threat.
"SQUIRRELS!" He tried to stop, but Danni wouldn't let him. "C'mon! I just want to pet one! Please?"
"No! They're not here to be nice!"
"Eh?"
"They probably want to gnaw on you until you're black and blue, so no petting them!"
Heero pulled at her, "But.. But! Black and blue are my favorite colors!"
"No they're not!"
"Yes they are!"
Fed up with his childish acting, she stopped. "You want to play with the squirrels?" She picked up Heero, who was unexpectedly light, and threw him at the rodents. "Pick one!"
She walked behind a tree to watch, as Heero sat on the ground, and opened his arms into a hug. "Squirrel-ies!"
The one squirrel who had been taken captive by Heero before, saw Heero and jumped, clutching onto his face. Heero screamed, and fell into the growing pile of squirrels. Danni sat back and watched, enjoying every minute of it. She started humming a tune of her own, but stopped to listen to the beautiful music of payback.
A/N: Haha, just to let all of you know, Danni really isn't as mean in real life as she may seem in this story. But she does get ticked off at people when they play with her hair. DO NOT TOUCH! It will be painful if you do…
