Alright, in the next chapter you find out what's going on. I might not put up another one for a while because the computer's being stupid and messing with the posts of another of my stories. So I'll try to get the next one up, if not today then tomorrow.
"Cocoa! I love cocoa." Arashi sat at the table as Mrs. Yuy handed out cups of cocoa.
Heero stared at her for a minute. It was like watching Duo. Except as girl and with, ironically, short hair.
(Why does-did Duo have long hair?)
Something to do with his past. Heero took a sip of the chocolate "nectar", as Arashi called it, in front of him. In our world.
(Oh. You don't know either?)
Heero chuckled slightly into his cocoa. Not the details, no.
"Hey, Heero. I know what we should do. Let's play Twister." Heero looked up to see Quatre smiling at him. "A face-off between you and Trowa."
Heero glanced at Trowa and shrugged. "I suppose."
Arashi ran into the living room and set up the Twister mat. "C'mon guys. I want to see this."
The two teenage boys stood on either side, facing each other. Quatre spun the spinner and called out the color and body part. Both boys moved and the game began.
(Stop analyzing this so much.) Heero stopped studying the mat and looked over at Trowa, who was bent over backwards. Inside his head his voice felt a need to repeat himself. (Don't think so much.)
What do you mean by that?
(It's a game. Don't analyze it so much, just have fun. It's not a mission.)
Heero sighed. You sound like Duo. Alright, I'll give it a try.
Heero did what Quatre said without thinking of all the details. He twisted his ankle slightly as he put his foot on the circle behind Trowa.
"Ow. Heero don't push, you'll knock me over." Trowa rocked as Heero placed his foot right next to Trowa's.
(Go for it! You can win!)
This is more fun. Heero didn't push Trowa foot and waited for Quatre to call out the next move. This one put Trowa half under Heero. He bumped Heero's hand trying to place his own on the spot next to Heero's. Heero tilted, swore and fell heavily on Trowa.
"Oh, and we have a winner. And possibly a fatality." Arashi helped Heero to his feet and then Trowa. "No, he gets up. Our victor, Trowa Bloom!"
Bloom? Isn't that that circus girl's name?
(Catherine? That's his older sister.)
They all have sisters.
(Wufei doesn't. He's just got a girlfriend.)
"Wow. That was harder than I expected." Trowa offered his hand to Heero. "But it was well fought."
(Oh, I'm sorry. This is a weird thing where we all act really formal about it. It's from-uh, never mind. Long story.)
Heero suddenly smiled and made a sweeping bow. "It was a pleasure to play against such a worthy opponent."
"Well, Heero wins this round." Arashi clapped him on the back and glanced at the clock. "Shoot. I gotta go. It's Solo's birthday tomorrow and I promised mom I'd help bake the cake."
They all said their good-byes and watched her run down the sidewalk. She stopped at the end and shouted back, "Don't forget you're all invited!"
Heero turned back to the others to see them getting their stuff.
"I gotta get back home. Mom and Dad are out for their anniversary and Catherine won't be back until late."
Quatre shifted slightly. "Mom says I have to be home before six for supper."
Wufei nodded. "Same here. We'll see you later, Yuy."
Heero watched them leave, feeling slightly depressed.
(Afraid it'll get boring?)
Heero nodded. Not something I'm used to. Worrying about it, I mean.
(You could show me how you hacked into that database on Yuy. Normally, you can't get any info on where he's going to be or things like that.)
Heero shrugged. Fine. It's ok if I use your computer?
The voice nodded. (Dad might not like it tho'…)
Heero hurried up the stairs to his room and sat at the computer. It took him a few minutes to find the network and then he spent the next hour showing himself how to hack into it.
