I got one review where the person didn't understand who was who in the last
part where it was four different people. I'm going to try and improve. I
didn't want to reveal who they were yet even though I'm sure you all can
guess who they are. (

"Duo! I'm hot."
Duo dropped what he was doing and ran upstairs and into Serena's room.
"Here Serena." And he placed a cold cloth on her forehead.
"Duo! My stomach hurts!"
He sighed and ran out of Serena's room and went towards the pilots' wing of the mansion. He stepped into Quatre's room and went into the bathroom and took out some aspirin and a hot water bottle. He placed the water bottle on his stomach and gave Quatre two pills.
"Here you go Quatre. Take that with your water."
"Duo.. my head!"
Duo ran out of the room and across the hall to Trowa's room. He looked around for another bottle of aspirin but couldn't find any so he ran back to Quatre's room and took it.
"Hey! That's mine!" he yelled but Duo ignored him.
"Take two Trowa." By this time Duo was out of breath and sweating. He had abandoned the high heels earlier when he realized that you really couldn't run in them. But otherwise was still dressed as a maid.
"Duo, I'm cold!" Duo pulled at his hair and ran back to the other wing and slid into Sammy's room.
Sammy pointed to the open window and Duo closed it.
"It's ok buddy." He hugged Sammy and quietly walked out of the room. He rubbed at his head. "Before this is through I'm going to be sick myself."
"Maxwell get you skinny behind here now. I need to get to the bathroom in a hurry... Unless you want to clean up after me!"
Duo growled and ran back to the pilots' wing and into Wufei's room. He helped him into the bathroom where Wufei threw up again. After he was done emptying his stomach Duo helped him back to his bed.
"Man you need some breath freshener or something Wu-man."
Wufei started yelling loudly in Chinese at Duo, who thought it was a good idea to vacate the room as soon as possible.
"Fei-chan! I heard that! No cursing Duo when he can't understand you." Yelled Serena.
Hearing that, Wufei started cursing Duo in English.
"Duo I have cramps!" yelled Heero.
Duo ran into the room and then into the adjacent bathroom where he got two bottles.
"Here's some Midol you girl!" and he threw the bottle at Heero.
Heero caught it and threw it right back at Duo. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Hehe, I'll... be seeing you." And he left Heero alone.
"Now I'm hot!" yelled Sammy.
Duo sighed and ran back to Sammy's room and opened the window again. He turned to leave.
"No, that's too much."
Duo turned back and lowered the window slightly then looked at Sammy for approval.
"No more."
He closed it more.
"That's too much."
Duo was getting fed up. He inched the window up until Sammy told him it was perfect.
"Thank you Duo." And Sammy smiled at him.
Duo smiled back. "You're welcome." And he walked out of the room. He walked down to the kitchen and spied Heero's laptop in the corner.
"Hmmm.. I wonder." He took it and set it on the table. "Now how do you open it?" He banged on it for a minute before he was the latch on the front. "Oh. Silly me. Now how do you turn it on?" He turned it every which way then he was the little button and he pressed it. "Ah ha!"
He set to work looking up food poisoning on the Internet. Suddenly he heard loudly everyone calling him.
"DUO!!" He yelped and banged his hand down on the keys and the laptop made a beep sound before it went blank. "Oh crap! Heero's going to kill me for sure now!"
He ran up the stairs and for the next half-hour was busy going from one room to another helping his friends. After what seemed like forever Duo found himself outside Serena's room.
"Duo?" she asked softly from her bed.
He walked in slowly and plopped down on her bed. "I'm so tired." He muttered.
"Awww.. poor Duo." She patted his head.
He laughed and looked up at her. "How are you feeling?"
Serena pouted. "Ok I guess.. I just want to feel better." And she sighed.
"No worries. I looked up food poisoning on the Internet and it only lasts 24 hours so by this time tomorrow you'll be as good as new."
"Duo.. how did you look on the Internet?" asked a low voice from behind them.
Duo turned slowly around, his cheeks red. "Umm.. I.. used your laptop?"
Heero growled and hobbled towards the bed and fell onto it. "Just you wait until I get my strength back. You better hope that you didn't do any damage to it." He glared at him.
"Well you see..."
"You did, didn't you? I'll kill you!" Heero tried to lunge for Duo but was too weak.
"Please both of you stop it this instant." Pleaded Serena and held her head.
"Serena can I lay with you?" asked a small voice from the doorway.
She turned and smiled. "Sure tiger. Get up here." And she pulled the covers back and Sammy climbed in and cuddled close to her.
She smiled down at her little brother and softly pushed his hair out of his face. There was a noise by the door and Serena looked up in time to see Quatre turning around and getting ready to leave.
"Wait Quatre."
Heero and Duo turned to see Quatre blush and walk into the room. "I hope I wasn't interrupting anything."
Serena smiled. "Not at all." She patted her bed. "There's plenty of room."
He settled down on the bed with the others. "I haven't felt this bad in a while."
"Ditto." Said Serena. They all shot a look at Duo who blushed.
At the door someone cleared their throat. They all turned.
"Hey Trowa." Said Serena.
He nodded and looked around the room without entering.
"You can come in you know?" stated Serena and she smiled.
Trowa inclined his head and stepped into the room and lightly sat at the edge of the bed. "What are you guys doing?" he asked softly.
"Just talking." Duo said.
Heero nodded.
"Oh." Responded Trowa and they fell silent.
There was a loud bang and everyone in the room jumped.
"Where the heck is everyone?! If this is another joke Maxwell so help me God I will kill you. Ever heard of strangulation by braid?"
Duo visibly gulped and shifted closer to Serena as if for protection.
Serena sat up and frowned while looking at the doorway. She wanted to be the first thing he noticed when he walked through that door.
A couple minutes later Wufei stormed into the room. "Oh here you are." He said.
He saw the expression on Serena's face and settled down.
"I certainly hope you weren't serious for your sake Fei-chan." She whispered in a low voice.
He quickly shook his head.
Duo let out a breath that he was holding and Serena smiled. "Good."
The others all breathed a sigh of relief.
Sammy spoke for he first time in over 20 minutes. "I'm kinda hungry." He said from under the covers. He looked up at all the older people around in with wide sea green eyes.
"I'll fix us all something.. soup maybe?" said Duo.
They all turned to him and shouted, "NO!"
*****
Blue eyes flickered with unrestrained rage. "That boy will be the death of her one of these days!" She yelled.
Aqua eyes looked up as well. "Stop being so dramatic. She has everything under control."
"I am not being dramatic! Just wait until I get my hands on him. I'll strangle him." She grabbed the mirror and made like she was going to choke the poor boy. "Why couldn't he be more like that Chinese one? He could protect Serena the best." She slowly let go of the mirror and let it float back to its previous position between them.
"I don't know.. I rather like that Quatre guy. He's so sweet. He'd be perfect for our Sere." Aqua eyes sparkled as she looked up at her companion.
"Don't make me laugh! He's a pansy!"
They turned away from each other. The mirror floated behind their backs.
Purple eyes blinked with confusion as the last person in the room looked up from the mirror. "I like Duo. He's funny." And she smiled sweetly.
The other two looked at her in complete horror.

P.S.
To clear up anything else. Serena doesn't really remember anything yet but in times when she's real emotional like when she's mad her nicknames for the pilots slip out. She doesn't realize she's saying them, it's just instinctual. Also there is nothing evil out there... Yet ( If you have any ideas I could use please don't hesitate to say so. I have some ideas but more are always welcome. Thanks again.
