disclaimer: um.. if i owned gundam wing there would still be new episodes coming out. seriously, it would be like the "tv show that never ended" don't own spaghettios either.
here we go.
Duo rushed to where the crash had come from. "NO!" he screamed upon seeing what had been the source of the commotion.There shattered in probably 100 pieces was Duo's specially made one of a kind collector's model of his gundam Deathscythe.
At the sight of this Duo's violet eyes got all watery as he quietly mourned the loss of his precious toy that he had taken several months to carefully assemble and paint after saving money for a year ( then asking Quatre for the amount he still needed after that) just to be able to afford it. He almost yelled at them then realized that he could not because they were just babies and did not really understand what they were doing. However, the moment they were returned to normal they were going to pay dearly for the loss of Duo's prized possession. (after the original gundam and his braid,of course)
Now he probably needed to feed the 'monsters'. "What the heck do toddlers eat?" he comtemplated to himself. "Definitely not candy." he said as he looked at Heero, who still appeared to be a little sick. Somehow managing to get all four of the kids into the kitchen at one time, he began to search the room for anything that appeared healthy and edible. (Mostly just edible) Eventually, he stumbled onto some cans of spaghettios. "This looks good."
He opened the cans, dumped the contents into four microwavable bowls, and voila...food. He started to just hand the bowls to them then remembered that two year olds could most likely not feed themselves. "Now, what do I do?" he asked staring at the four children then at the bowls of food on the counter. "Maybe, if I can get them to sit in the chairs I can just feed them myself... I am such a brilliant genius!"
Mentally congratulating himself on his idea, he lifted each of his copilots and placed them into the kitchen chairs.Then taking the bowels and a spoon over to the table he began to feed each of the four, one at a time. First giving a bite to one, then the next, and the next, then the last, and then starting over. What he did not perceive was just how messy spaghettios could actually be. After he had finally gotten them all fed, he was left with four toddlers covered in a mess of red tomato sauce and little round noodles. It was everywhere. In their hair, smeared on their faces, covering their clothes, and now adding to the mess on the kitchen floor.
"Well, I guess it's bath time." Duo said observing the newest mess. "I can't believe I have to do this." Gathering the four babies up, he carried them to the bathroom, undressed them with much fighting, and through them into the bath. This proved disasterous as Wufei and Trowa kept struggling to jump out and Quatre kept trying to pour more bubble bath into the water. While Duo was busily attempting to handle these three, he did not notice how quiet Heero had become. Finally, after what seemed like several hours Duo had succeeded in cleaning them up and in the process getting himself soaking wet. "Let's see what comes next? Oh, now I know." Wrapping them in towels, he carried them to one of Quatre's old bedrooms. ( they had been staying in one of Quatre's houses, and he still had some of his childhood stuff there)
Once he was there he managed to find some of Quatre's old baby clothes that would fit each of the four boys. By that time they had started to wear out. All four were yawning and struggling just to keep their eyes open. "Now, where's the best place i can place you, so I don't have to worry about you disappearing on me or something?"
Finally deciding just to place them all on the big bed in the guest room closest to the kitchen, he left the toddlers to nap as he started to clean the kitchen. And he cleaned, and cleaned, and located some of the candy Heero had not managed to eat, and cleaned, and cleaned, and got hungry and ate the candy,and cleaned some more. He then had managed to sufficently clean exactly one half of the huge kitchen. However, he was too tired to continue cleaning at the time and went to go take a little nap himself. When...
He heard a yelp come from an awaking toddler in the bedroom. And to his great surprise(not) it was Wufei who had decided to cause all the trouble. (again) Picking up Wufei and taking him out of the room so he would not wake the others, he looked at the small pilot and said "Man, Wufei, I pity your parents. You must have been a brat to raise." He promptly received a very powerful smack from a tiny fist after having made that comment. "Ok. Ok. sorry." He took Wufei into the kitchen with him and fixed a sippy cup of juice. (Thank you, Quatre was a packrat. While cleaning the kitchen, Duo had managed to locate several sippy cups, baby spoons, and baby bibs which would become very useful.)
As soon as he had accomplished this fairly simple task,( Wufei had used the sippy cup to bang on Duo's head with) Duo noticed that the other three were beginning to wake, as well. Trowa and Quatre were up instantly, but Heero continued to lay on the bed not moving. Duo noticed and wondered if something was wrong. Quickly getting Quatre and Trowa their cups of juice, he settled them into the now baby-proof living room and returned to see what was wrong with Heero.
"Hey, Hee-chan, what's up with you?" he asked picking the youngest of all the pilots up and sitting him on his lap.
He was still surprised to have found out Heero was the youngest pilot. He never would have known except for a few months ago, Quatre had decided it would be fun to start celebrating everyone's birthdays and had done some snooping around. He had then discovered everyone's true birthdays and found that Trowa was the oldest, then Duo, then Wufei, the Quatre, and Heero was actually around 14 months younger than Trowa making him the youngest. That had provided Duo with weeks of entertainment as he began teasing Heero about his age soon earning Heero the title as the baby of the group from the others. They started referring to him like that saying things like, "the baby's going out on a mission alone. Shouldn't one of us go with him?", "I don't you're old enough to drink. Are you?",and when they were out around girls the other boys would use it to tease him with in front of all of them. By saying things like "Sure,he'll take you out, but one of us will have to chaperone. He is the baby of our group." Duo had had to protect his braid for several more weeks after that as Heero swore revenge on the braided pilot, and soon Duo was almost regretting what he had started.ALMOST He did a double-check just to make sure his braid was really safe then turned back to the toddler. "So what's the matter?" he asked again when he had gotten no response the first time.
He looked carefully at Heero's face. The toddler's face was pale but flushed. Duo place his hand on his forehead. "You have a fever! And it seems to be very high! You couldn't have just gotten sick when you were turned into a baby could you? I'll bet you were sick before and just didn't tell anyone. Is that right?" He knew the four could understand him. Really, the only difference in them was that they were smaller and couldn't control their emotions as well, they also did not have their usual gracefullness as their small bodies manuevered like all other toddlers'. Looking at Heero's eyes, he got his answer. Heero had been sick before, and most likely no one would have known if he had not been changed into a baby. Duo carried Heero into the living room where the others were and laid him on the couch. "Ok. You stay here. I'll go see who I can call to ask what to do. I'll be right back." Duo promised as he went to look where he knew Quatre's address book.
"Who could I call?"
