It was a typical day at the Peacecraft household….

“DUO, U BAKA! U GET BACK HERE WITH THAT CAMERA RIGHT NOW! INJUSTICE!” Wufei screamed after being attacked by Duo and his latest Christmas gift from Hilde…a lovely camera w/ film and batteries!

“Chill, Wuffie! I wuz just having some fun! If it makes u feel any better, I got a picture of Heero after he passed out last night over his laptop, and he was smiling in his slee…”

“OMAE O KOUROSU!!!” Heero shouted, followed by a long stream of Japanese curses, as he ran after Duo, along with Wufei and his sword(s), with his trusty gun fully loaded. Duo yelped, and ran even faster to escape his now TWO possible assassins. As they ran off into the long hallway, the others could hear Wufei screaming “…and for the nine-thousandth time…DON’T CALL ME WUFFIE, U BAKA…!”

“Pika-PIKA!” Catherine shouted from the corner where she and Trowa were playing, disrupting the 4-second silence that came with the exit of the last commotion.

“How many times must I tell you to be quiet, Pikachu?! How can I catch ‘em all if you scare ‘em all away!” Trowa shouted at “Pikachu” The others turned to stare, and sweatdropped at the sight. Catherine was wearing a yellow outfit with red stripes on it’s back, yellow ears on her head, and had rouge on her cheeks. Trowa was wearing light-blue jeans, a black t-shirt, a blue vest, sneakers, and a red and white baseball cap. He was holding a plastic baseball he had painted half red and glued a white button on the front.

After backing away from them even further, the rest of the “sane” people in the household went about what they were doing before Duo’s [first] assault of the night, when Duo came running back into the room, screaming, and tried to hide behind Hilde.

“HELP! They’re after me! HELP!”

“Oh, Duo…U were asking for it!” She replied, while trying to pry her boyfriend off her waist. At this time, Relina was desperately trying to talk Heero out of killing Duo, while Sally was doing the same for Wuffie…er…Wufei ::oop! Hehe!:: The girls had just succeded in calming them down (for now, anyways), When the doorbell rang. It was Quatre with his friend, Kari, by his side.

“Oh, Hi, Quatre!, Hi, Kari!” Relina said when she answered the door, “Come on in…if you dare!”

The couple had just walked in the door, when Dorothy Catalonia (a.k.a…. “The Wicked Witch of the Colonies”) came in from the kitchen and saw them…well, more accurately, saw Kari. The two exchanged Death Glares that could have put Heero’s patented Yui Glare ‘O’ Death™ to shame. Relina sweatdropped as she watched them, then attempted to stop the silent war between them (temporarily, anyways).

“Uhh…the den is this way…come on in and bring your stuff.” She said. The two obeyed, carrying their sleeping bags and bags to the den, joining with the others. They were greeted by the sight of Hilde and Sally tying Duo to a chair, tape over his mouth, With Wufei and Heero smirking over them, and Trowa and Catherine playing with game-boys? Walking over to see what game they were playing, Quatre heard Trowa muttering, “gotta catch ‘em all….gotta catch ‘em all….must. catch. ‘em. all….” And Catherine occasionally muttering, “Pika!”, sweatdropped, and decided it would be best to…uh…leave them be. He quickly walked back over to Kari, who was staring at Duo, wondering why he was tied up like that….

“Don’t ask…just be thankful Relina had some rope,” was all she got from Hilde.

“And VERY durable Duct Tape!” Sally added.

“uh…now I don’t WANT to know!” Kari replied, as Quatre walked up next to her.

…Like I said…A VERY normal day at the Peacecraft household…(with THIS gang, that is!)

“Well, since everyone’s here, why don’t we set up our sleeping bags and change into our PJ’s” Relina suggested.

Everyone agreed, well, that is…everyone except Duo, who simply muffled a response through the strong duct tape. Within a few minutes, the den had been transformed into the scene for a night this gang shant soon forget! Sleeping bags were assorted as such: Trowa’s and Catherine’s were FAR off in the corner, away from everyone else (as suggested by more than on the group!), Duo’s “closest” to them, followed by Hilde’s, then Relina’s, then Heero’s. On the opposite side was Wuffie…er…Wufei ::oops, there I go again! Hehe!::, then Sally, then Dorothy, then Quatre, and finally Kari. (Let’s just take this time to mention two things…1) Dorothy had not been invited, but had just “showed up” because she believed she was friend with Relina and Quatre, and 2) It had been GREATLY advised to keep Kari and Dorothy FAR apart during that night, for Relina had just had the house cleaned, and didn’t wish to get blood all over everything!)

Next, everyone changed into their PJ’s. Relina’s PJ’s were a pink, short-sleeved nightgown that reached her ankles. Heero’s were a pair of black sweatpants, and a blue tank top. Hilde had on a light-blue t-shirt and dark-blue pajama pants with white stripes going vertically. Duo wore a black shirt (BIG surprise!) and gray sweat pants. Trowa wore white PJ’s with EVERY single pokemon imaginable on them, while Catherine wore yellow pajamas that looked an awful lot like her costume (meaning she remained as Pikachu), drawing stares from nearly everyone in the room, yet never noticing, for as soon as they had changed, they picked up their game-boys, connected the two with a wire, and continued “battling” each other. Wufei had on white PJ pants, with a green tank top. Sally had on camouflaged-styled sweats and a dark green t-shirt. Quatre wore…

“THUNDERSHOCK! THUNDERSHOCK, NOW! DAMMIT, PIKACHU…I SAID THUNDERSHOCK, NOT THUNDERBOLT! AAAUUUUGGGHHH! CATHY, UR CHATIN SOMEHOW! U’VE CORRUPED MY OTHER PIKACHU! I JUST KNOW IT!!” Trowa screamed from his corner of the room, “UR JUST JEAL-“

(::Trowa suddenly has duct tape on his mouth placed there by the wonderful author::…::THAT will teach him to interrupt when I’m talking about Quatre!…hahaha!:: ::Looks of praise given to author from all othe characters, minus Trowa and Cathy,…while looks of fright, as well as MAJOR sweatdropping, given off by friends of author who are currently reading fic:: ::Now, back to my story before Trowa figures out how to get that SUPER DUCT TAPE off….)

AS I WAS SAYING…::Glares at Trowa, who runs and hides behind Cathy, tape still over his mouth::…Quatre was wearing navy-blue sweat pants and a light-blue, tight-fitting t-shirt. Kari had on blue pajama pants with green, purple, and white polka-dots, white slippers, and a tight V-neck T-shirt. She also had her medium-length, golden-colored hair pulled back in a headband that matched her pants. Last , and DEFINITELY least [liked!], Dorothy wore a black sweatshirt, and yellow/pink striped shorts (::UGH! Somebody call the fashion police on this girl! I mean, FIRST, THOSE EYEBROWS, then, that UGLY black dress she wore in GW, and now THIS!?!:: ).

After everyone finished getting changed into their pajamas, no one knew what to do next.

“Charades?”

“Spin the Bottle?”

“DUO!”

“Sheesh! Just kidding, Hilde!”

The duct tape quickly goes back on Duo’s mouth (::HEY! How’d it come off in the first place?:: )

“I’ve Never?”

“NOT AFTER WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME WE PLAYED THAT!!!!”

“Oh, come-on, Wuffie, who cares if we all know you…”

“SHUT-UP, Maxwell! How’d u get that tape off again? AND DON’T CALL ME WUFFIE!” Wuffie…er…Wufei (::Oops, I did it again!…Hey! Who invited HER?!?!:: ) shouted, while applying MORE duct tape to Duo’s mouth.

The entire group, minus Duo, Wufei, and the poke-freaks, sweatdropped as Wufei doesn’t stop at just One layer of duct tape….

“Pokemon?”

“NO!” everyone shouts at Trowa at the same time (::SHOOT! Now how’d HE get that tape off?!!:: )

Trowa slinks back over to his sister, a.k.a. Pikachu, quickly to keep from winding up in the same position as Duo (Tied to a chair with now 3…4…5 pieces of duct tape over his mouth, and counting!)

“Truth or Dare?”

“Aren’t there ENOUGH fanfics of us playing that game?” Relina asked.

:: “Yeah, but none with ME as the author!”::

“All the more reason why we SHOULDN”T play!” Dorothy muttered.

:: “umm…excuse me miss I-Love-War…what was that?”::

“Oh, nothing!”

:: “That’s what I thought!…now, how ‘bout u guys play MY version of Truth or Dare?”::

“Sounds good to me!”

“Fine.”

“Why not?”

“Cool…it’ll be my first time playing in a fanfic with you guys, right, Quatre-kun?”

“Right, Hika!”

“HIKA?!?” Dorothy exclaimed

“Yeah…short for Hikari, meaning ‘light’. Got a problem with that, Dorko?

“That’s DOROKO, not Dorko!”

“You say tomato…”

“That does it! Where’s that damm over-sized frying pan?!?”

“RIGHT HERE!” Kari exclaimed, pulling it out from behind her back, and whacking “dorko” over the head, knocking her unconscious. (^_^)

“Now then,” She continued, while throwing out the SERIOUSLY dented frying pan, due to Dorothy’s EXTREMELY thick skull, “Who would like to start us off?” she asked in an I-didn’t-do-a-single-thing-cuz-I’m-just-being-a-perfect-little-angel-so-don’t-even-think-of-blaming-me voice.

Group sweatdrop, minus Kari and the unconscious blonde, anyone?

“MMHPPHHHMAPHLRR!” Duo muffed through…[carry the 7, add the 4, multiply by the square root of 15…] about 19 pieces of tape.

“What?”

“He said he want to go first.”

“You mean you can UNDERSTAND him like that?”

Hilde just shrugged, “Well, yeah.”

This time, everyone except Hilde sweatdropped.

“Fine, Duo…uh…you can go first…and I guess Hilde can be your translator.” Relina said.

“MMHMMM….MPHMMHPPHH!” Duo muffled.

“He said he choses…”

“Pi—“

:: “TROWA IF YOU OR CATHERINE SAY ‘PIKACHU’ ONE MORE TIME, I’LL TAKE AWAY THOSE GAMEBOYS AND TURN YOU INTO DIGIMON FANS INSTEAD!!!!” ::

“EEP! No! Anything but that! Not a children’s anime that actually has a half-way decent plotline and makes more sense anyways! We’ll be good!”

Even the author sweatdropps this time.

Trowa runs back over to his corner, where Catherine is playing with her game-boy VERY quietly now.

“Ahem, as I was saying, Duo chooses you, Wufei.”

“I will NOT be weak, like some! I choose Dare!”

Duo mumbles some more to Hilde.

“DUO! I don’t think you can do that!”

More mumbling.

“HA! Women! I can take whatever that weak baka throws at me!” Wufei exclaimed, “Now, what is it?”

A small smile appears on Sally’s face as she secretly realizes what Duo’s going to say, and she muffled a giggle.

“Duo dares you to untie him, remove the tape, and promise not to kill him for the rest of the night.” Hilde answers with a slight smile on her face as well.

“WHAT? INJUSTICE! WHAT’S THE CONSEQUENCE?”

Duo muffles something off to Hilde.

“You hafta go play pokemon with Trowa and Cathy.”

“PIKACHU!”

“OK! Trowa and PIKACHU!”

“WHAT?!?”

:: “Aww, common! That’s SOOO overdone! Can’t u come up with something more original that that?”::

Duo mumbles something to the author.

:: “Yeah, well, same to you!”::

“You mean u understand what he’s saying, too?” asked Hilde.

:: “uhhh…not really…”::

Everyone, minus the author and the unconscious “DORKO” MAJORLY sweatdrops.

Duo muffles some more to Hilde, who starts laughing as he finishes.

“OK, the real consequence is for you,” Hilde tell Wufei, “to let Duo tape YOUR mouth shut for the rest of the night!”

“INJUSTICE!”

“Hahaha! I vote for the consequence!” Sally said through hard laughing.

“Stay out of this woman!”

“See why?”

“Ugghh! Is ther a second consequence?”

“Yes”

:: “NO! I want him to hafta just choose between the two! Plus, it’s more fun that way!”::

“WHAT? INJUSTICE!”

:: “GOD! How many times do you hafta say ‘injustice’, huh? Is English your second language or what?”::

“I don’t have to take this from an ONNA! Especially one who is younger than I am!”

:: “Eh, bite your tongue, Wuffie, or this ONNA’S gonna do to you what she originally had planned for Sleeping Ugly over there!”:: ::Points at Dorothy, who is now snoring in her sleep::

Wufei, for the first time in his life, is silenced. Then glaring at the author, he chooses to free Duo.

“YEOW!” Duo screams as Wufei painfully rips of all 19 pieces of tape, then unties him.

“You never said I had to go easy when I freed you!” Wufei respons with a smile. He then proceeds to choose a victem to get revenge on. He smiles as he realizes his target.

“I choose…”

:: “Uh-uh! Can’t choose me I’m the AUTHOR!”::

“Damm. Oh, well. Then I choose Heero!”

“Truth”

“How many times have you let Relina inside your Gundam?” Wuffie asked with a smile.

“STOP CALLING ME WUFFIE, ONNA!”

:: “WUFFIE, WUFFIE, WUFFIE! If I wanna call you Wuffie, your name is Wuffie. You got a problem with that, I can always turn you into Dorko’s boyfriend in this story!”::

“YIPE! Wuffie it is!” Everyone but WUFFIE and the author sweatdropps.

“HEY! STOP CALLING ME DORKO!” Dorko said as she woke up, “And are you saying it’s a BAD thing to be my boyfriend?”

:: “UH, lemme thing….YEAH!”:: ::Pulls out a new, diamond-hard frying pan, and whacks DORKO over the head with it, knocking her out again:: ::” Thanks again for the LOVELY Christmas present, Quatre! I KNEW it would come in handy!”::

“Glad ya like it!” Quatre responded with a smile.

“Can we get back to the game now?”

“Uh, sure, Heero.”

“Then the answer is three times.”

“Great! Now…what was the question?”

All but Duo, who spoke last, sweatdropped

::Repeats question to Duo::

“OH! And prey tell why you let her in your Gundam not once, but THREE time? Hn, Heero?”

“The rule is only one question per truth, so you only get one answer!”

“Yeah, ok Heero…just wait till next ti-.”

“DUO!” Hilde yanked on his braid to get him to shut up.

“Owwww! Hil-de! That HURTS!”

:: “DUH! That’s the POINT!”::

“You stay out of this!”

:: “NO!”::

“Yes!”

:: “NO!”::

“Y……..” Hilde yanked again.

“…OW!” Duo finished his sentence with an alternate ending.

“DUO!”

“Shutting up now!”

:: “Yeah, right!”::

“HEY! How come SHE gets to insult me, but I can’t insult her, Hilde?”

“Cuz u deserve it!”

:: “hehehe!”::

“Shut up!”

:: “Oh, don’t start THAT again!”::

Everyone [minus those unconscious or lost in a “pokemon world”] pulled up a chair to watch the show. Sally and Relina were sharing a bowl of popcorn.

“You started it!”

:: “No, YOU DID!”::

“No, y…OW! HILDE WILL YOU LET GO OF MY BRAIN!!” Duo hollered as Hilde yanked for a third time.

“Will you shut up or you’ll go back in the chair with more rope and tape than last time!”

“Eep!” Duo ran over to his sleeping bag, jumped in, and poked only his head out. “No more chair! I’ll be good!”

All those watching the performance sweatdropped, then proceeded to go back to the game.

“Now, who’s turn was it last?” Relina asked

“I believed it was Heero’s” Duo replied, trying to sound as innocent as possible (yeah, right!)

“Your turn, Heero”

Heero Looked around the room, trying to choose the next “victim”

“Truth or Dare…”

:: “OH! Pick ME! Pick ME!”::

“Hey! I thought you said you weren’t playing!” Wuffie shouted.

:: “well, that was different! I don’t like you, but I don’t mind HEERO asking me. After all, He doesn’t want to kill me (yet! Hehehe!)!” :: Heero raised an eyebrow at that last comment.

“Ugghh! WOMEN! Can’t make up their minds about anything!” Wuffie muttered.

:: “I heard that!”::

“Good!”

:: “Oooooh! I’l deal with you LATER, Wuffie! Right now…I’d like to play. I choose Dare, Heero. Gimme your best shot!”::

“Alright. You say you can deal with anything?”

:: “Bring it on, Spandex Boy!”::

“I dare you NOT to kill Dorothy in this fic!”

:: “WHAT??? THAT’S NOT FAIR! THIS IS MY FIC AND I CAN KILL ANYONE I WANT IN IT! INJUSTICE!”::

“Hey, that’s my line!”

:: “Yeah, well, at least I don’t go screaming it every five seconds like a…a…WEAKLING!”::

“WHAT? Weakling? INJUSTICE!”

:: “See?”::

“KISSAMA!”

:: “Sticks and Stones could break your bones, but I could REALLY hurt you!”::

“WHAT? They’re no such saying!”

:: “Wanna try me?”::

“I…uh…no.”

:: “That’s what I THOUGHT!” ::

“Do you accept the dare?”

:: “Depends…what’s the consequence?”::

More whispering from Relina, as Hilde and Sally come over and throw in their suggestions. Meanwhile, Dorko chose that time to wake up….

::WHACK!::

Correction…she chose that time to wake up, and get knocked out again by my lovely diamond-hard frying pan.

:: “Oh, Quatre…it’s soooo much fun! You HAFTA try this thing out sometime!”::

“Why take the fun away from you?”

:: “oooh! Good point!”::

Heero spoke up, “The consequence is that you hafta let Wufei type the next three pages of the story!”

Wuffie’s eyes lit up at this plan.

:: “UH-UH! NOT A CHANCE!………….FINE! I won’t kill Dorothy, but I can still cause her pain, can’t I?!?!?”::

Heero nodds.

:: “Ok…I guess that’s ALMOST as much fun. My TURN! I choose…”

“Pika!”

:: “CATHY WHAT DID I SAY??????”::

“uhh……chu?”

(::Trowa and Catherine’s pokemon corner suddenly turns to digimon with all the action figures, books, trading cards, CD’s, videos, and pictures of all the digidestined [sp?] all over the walls.)

Trowa and Cathy in unison: “HEY, DIGIMON! HEY, DIGIMON! ULTIMATE FRIENDS TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS! HEY, DIGIMON, HEY DIGIMON….CHAMPIONS OF THE DIGITAL WORLD………

SEVEN YOUNG KIDS TO CAMP ONE SUMMER,

AND DIGI-VOLVE TO CHAMPION, AND ULTIMATE TO

GONNA SAVE THE DIGITAL WORLD FOR YOU!

HEY, DIGIMON, HEY DIGIMON, CHAMPION FRIENDS OF THE BOYS AND GIRLS! HEY DIGIMON, HEY DIGI--”

:: “AUUGGGGHHHH! MAKE IT STOP-MAKE IT STOP! Maybe I should have left them with pokemon! At least they didn’t SING!:: “”Turns all stuff back to pokemon…ugh!::

“HA! I knew you couldn’t keep up your threat for very long!” Trowa beamed.

:: “Keep it up, and next time, it’ll be Sailor Moon!”::

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Trowa dashed back over to his corner, clutching his pokemon toys, and whimpering at the thought.

“There, there, bro, it’s ok. She’s just kidding around. She may be tough, but NO ONE deserves to be forced to like Sailor Moon!” Cathy reassured him.

:: “Now, then….I choose Hilde!”::

“Huh?”

:: “Uh..for Truth or Dare?”::

“Oh, yeah! I forgot!”

::Girl, u’ve been living with Duo for too long!”::

“Hey! I resent that remark!”

:: “One question, Duo…do you even know what ‘resent’ means?”::

“uh……”

:: “That’s what I thought!”::

“HEY!”

“I cho- I mean, PICK, truth” Hilde answers, trying to avoid another argument between the author and Duo.

::evil grin appears as brilliant mind goes to work::

“Uh…should I be concerned?” Hilde asked, looking nervous.

:: “Not concerned…Afraid…VERY afraid!”:: ::Evil laughter::

Sweatdropps from everyone else, as Hilde goes a little pale.
