Chapter Three: Scare Tactics
A/N: Beware today is my last day of school so read on with caution! Silliness may ensue… Oh and btw, Relena is evil in this certain universe…
After safely securing Heero to a chair with several pounds of duct tape and rope Duo, Trowa, and Quatre sat and plotted. After a few minutes Duo looked up with a wild smile forming on his lips.
"Hey, we could ask 'nicely' what's up with him… And if he doesn't tell us we can….." Duo looked around mischievously, "Torture him…"
Quatre looked shocked, Trowa however just shot him a 'no way' kind of look.
"And, oh wonderful genius, just how would we torture him?"
Duo smiled, walked over to him, and whispered into his ear. Trowa smiled and Quatre shot them both a look.
"Whatever you're planning, I'll have nothing to do with it… I may watch though."
Duo and Trowa had rigged up two phones next to Heero, who had unfortunately woken up and started screaming. Thankfully, they hadn't used all of the duct tape and they taped Heero's mouth shut. Quatre sat on a chair watching the other two set up some chairs and a table. They proceeded to put the phones on the table. One receiver was then duct taped to Heero's ear. Trowa sat next to the other phone and Duo sat directly in front of Heero.
"Now Heero I really don't want to do what I'm about to do…. All you have to do is tell me what's going on with you."
Heero closed his eyes and Duo reached for the duct tape.
"YAAARGH!"
"Okay Heero tell us what's going on…"
"Duo? I have a quick question."
"What is it Heero?"
"When did your hair get so long and since when did you wear such manly clothes?"
Duo had had enough. He slapped several layers of duct tape over Heero's mouth again and pointed to Trowa. Heero's eyes opened wide as Trowa dialed a familiar number. A certain someone answered on the other end and Trowa said something back.
"Hi this is Heero."
After saying that he slammed down his receiver. Heero started bouncing up and down in the chair. Quatre watched with fascination as muffled screeches filled the room. Duo sat and smiled as Heero bounced about and screamed. After several minutes of this Trowa picked up the other phone.
"I'm sorry, but I have to go…"
Duo stifled a burst of giggles. Quatre still sat in the corner mystified. Duo ripped the phone off Heero's head and slammed it down. Heero instantly calmed down and breathed in through his nose deeply.
"So Heero, now that you know what we're capable of what do you have to say?"
Trowa ripped off the duct tape gag. Heero screamed again.
"Could you stop doing that? Please, it really hurts."
Duo leaned back and Trowa smacked Heero with the phone. Heero's head flopped forward and Duo secured the tape gag. Duo walked up the stairs with Trowa and Quatre following. They went into the kitchen and sat down around the kitchen table. Duo put his head on the table. He was obviously thinking because he began hitting his head against the table.
"Um Duo, I have a question."
"Shoot."
"Well, who did you call?"
Duo smirked and looked up at Quatre. It was hard for him to keep a straight face because Duo already had a red mark growing in between his eyes.
"We called Relena, it worked too didn't it."
Quarter just shook his head, "So what do you plan on doing now."
"Well I did want to see how well he can stand up to children's programming…"
"What does that mean?"
"You'll see soon enough."
Trowa and Duo had lugged the TV down into their newly dubbed "torture chamber". Quatre sat in the corner again watching them yell about the TV. Duo plugged the TV in and popped a tape into the VCR.
"Okay, now Heero or are you going to tell us what's going on, or do I have to press play? This video is going to be worse than the phone call."
The tape was removed yet again and Heero looked at Duo pathetically.
"Duo that's really starting to hurt. I don't know why you're torturing me!"
Duo rolled his eyes and pulled a pair of very big headphones. He put them on and reached for the TV. Duo made sure that Quatre was still in the corner and that Trowa was safely out of the room. (Trowa had left to buy more duct tape. And they were running low on cereal…. Anyways…) He turned up the volume and ran to the safety of the corner. He covered his eyes and buried his head in his arms. Quatre stared at the TV.
Heero watched the tv with growing interest. Heero started mumbling something and Quatre pulled off the duct tape.
"Hey Quatre what is this show?"
"Um, the box says, 'Teletubbies'"
"Hmmm, I don't know what that is supposed to mean but I like this, its funny."
"I don't really get it..."
They sat in silence unti lthe retched thing came to an end. Duo looked up and Quatre stopped the tape. Duo walked around infront of Heero and pulled off the head phones.
"Um Duo I don't think it worked..."
"Why do you say that?" Duo said as he threw the tape in a metal waste bin.
"Well Heero was laughing the whole time and I... well I just didn't quite understand it. I'm sorry."
Duo thought for a moment and went up stairs. He sat at the kitchen table and started pounding it with his head. He was stopped when someone tapped him on the shoulder.
"Go away I'm thinking."
"Obviously. What's going on in the basement?"
Duo looked up, "Torturing you Heero." He put his head down and snapped it back up again, "Heero!"
A/N: Yay! I updated, R&R!
