Spoot: we have another mission!
Duo: Oh man...I read the report...
Kids Today
Duo walked into the safe house, pail, and incoherent. Wufei looked up from the laptop resting on the kitchen table, the first thing he spotted was the mission packet in his partner's hand. "Shall I get the broom?" He asked. Duo's eyes were hollow, he swallowed and held out the packet. Wufei stood up and took it, then looked it over. After a few moments, he flipped it closed, and handed it back. "Good luck with that. Kids are a handful." Duo did not want to take the packet back, he pushed it at his partner, "Did you read the second page, it's not just my mission." He said with a dry mouth. Wufei eyed him with that hint of suspision, then opened the packet to the second page. He read a bit, then his mouth dropped open.
"Her name is Neko." Une said. She was holding the hand of a 3 year old little girl. Dressed all in pink, with red hair, and green eyes. Duo and Wufei watched as the little girl approached them, she looked up at Wufei, then down, and promptly...stamped on his foot, and took off running, with a giggle. Wufei's eyes went wide, and he grit his teeth. "The two of you are on this mission, together. It's time you two learned some responsibility." Wufei growled at her, but nothing more. Duo was wringing his hands together, nervous and upset. "I don't really like kids..." He said, "And they don't like me." Une shook her head. "You're not getting out of this. I understand that the last mission was a little unorthodox, this time, it should be a snap. Now then...someone needs to go find her." The two boys looked on at her, listening. She crossed her arms. "NOW!" She shouted. "RIGHT!" Both boys snapped, and took off after the little girl.
Her giggles could be heard from outside. She was running through the house, naked. the front room was in disarray. Lamp was knocked over, sofa cushions on the floor, TV static, juice spilt on the carpet, food smeared in the carpet, diaper ..smeared in the carpet, and both boys hiding behind the sofa. "How do we handle this?" Asked Wufei. "Shaddap!" Duo snapped. "She'll hear us!" Just then, the little red-headed girl appeared before them, she was leaning over the sofa. "BOO! Found you!" She yelled, then reached down, and grabbed up some of Duo's hair, and began to pull. He grabbed her little hand, and began to try with little strength, to pry her fingers out of his locks. "Wufei, little help!" He cried. The Asian reached up and poked her in the armpit. She let go of Duo's hair, and giggled. "CATCH ME!" She whaled. Then took off running, knocking over another lamp, it broke, and the light went out. Duo looked over at the other boy. "I'm telling you...someone hates me."
"I don't think Duo can take much more of this, you gatta help." Wufei was vid chatting with Quatre. "You're good with kids." Quatre smiled. Just then Duo went running by, yelling, "Get back here you brat! you need to put on some cloths!" He stopped running, and spotted Quatre's face on the computer screen, "Quatre! You gatta help us!" He hollered, "I would, but it's not my mission. Tell you what, why don't the two of you pop in a movie for her, that may calm her down." Wufei shook his head. "We would, but I think she broke the TV." He said, Quatre giggled. "I see, well then I don't know what to tell you. Try feeding her." he said. With that, the screen went blank, possible lost connection. Duo looked at Wufei, and visa versa.
"I swear, if she pulls my hair one more time, I may smack her." Duo said, running his fingers through his long locks. "Don't do that, we'll get in trouble." the two boys were watching her jump on the sofa. She hopped off and ran up to the boys. "Booger!" She snapped, pointing at Duo. "Brain!" She yelled, pointing at Wufei. She then let out another famous giggle, and took off running, only to find herself...hitting the floor. Taking a trip over her own two little feet. She landed hard, right on her little booty. Duo and Wufei both tensed up, reaching out to catch her, a moment to late. She looked over at them, with tears in her big green eyes, before long, she began to scream and cry. Wufei was the first to kneel and pull her up and cuddle her.
Duo watched intently, never before seeing the Asian in the manner he was in, almost fatherly. He too, knelt and inspected the scene. "Is she ok?" He asked. Neko reached out and grabbed for him, he opened his arms and she fell into him. "It's ok." Wufei said, "Hug her. She needs it." Duo hesitated for a moment, then wrapped his arms around her, then stood up with her in his arms. "What do I do now?" He asked, Neko was still crying. "Owwie! Owwie! Hurt!" She cried. Wufei stood up. "Lets get her dressed, and put her down for a nap." He said, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder. Duo nodded, and began to bounce the little one in his arms, lightly.
The two watched over her for a moment, she was sound asleep with her thumb in her mouth. "She's not so bad." Wufei said, pulling up some of the blankets. "Yeah, now!" Duo said, with a smile. Wufei looked up at him, and as well let a smirk cross his face. "She sure is a hand full." He stood up right, and began to leave the room. Duo followed. Wufei was picking up some toys and cleaning. "You ever think about having one?" Duo asked. Wufei looked up and smiled. "With you? I'm not sure who would get pregnant." Duo giggled, and began to help with the mess. "You would. No, I mean, you ever thought about one day, being a dad. You might make a good one." Wufei took some stuff Duo was holding, "You think so? Well, What about you! I saw you with her today, yeah, you wanted to kill her, but you were good with her."
"I don't think so, I don't really like kids. well, I guess...other peoples kids." Duo said with a shrug. "I suppose I never thought about having my own. Have you?"
Wufei pulled some drinks from the fridge, handing one to Duo as he closed the door. "Sure I have. I would love to have some crib midgets one day! The thing is, with who, and when? You know what I mean? I don't see me being biological with them, just the father." He sat down at the now clean table. Duo sat down too. "Scared of women? Seems legit." Duo said, popping the tab on his cold beer. "You could say that." Wufei said, popping his tab as well. "What, y'gay?" Duo asked after taking a sip. Wufei nodded.
"Bye bye!" Neko sang out, hugging Wufei tight. She was in his arms. "Bye bye sweety!" He said, lowering her, she held tight to his neck, not wanting to let go. He looked up at Une, and a red-headed women, with a grin and a giggle. "I have never seen her take to someone like she has, you boys." Said the girl's mother. "Where's puppy?" Neko asked. "No puppies sweet heart, we need to go." Her mother explained. She began to throw a fit. Duo came walking into the line of view. "PUPPY!" She hollered, and let go of Wufei, and rushed Duo. She latched on and he lifted her up. "are you going home too?" She asked, playing with his hair. "I live here." He said, giving her a hug. "But, you can come over any time you want, and destroy the house." He said with a giggle, then passed the pouting girl to her mother. "Thank you boys." The women said, handing them both a 20 dollar bill. Wufei looked at Duo, and Visa Versa. Eyeing each other with a knowing glance. Duo spoke first, "Paint Ball, here we come." Wufei nodded.
Spoot: Mission accomplished. 2 down! lets keep them coming!
