PART 4! --- Yippy Skippy Inn
***********************

Kat and her group continued to try to find an inn in which to spend the night, but were having a hard time, because Quatre insisted that the inn "Has ta have a bar, it HAS to have a bar...not that I'm promoting use of alcohol or anything..."
"Look," said Duo, "this place looks good enough. Whaddya think, Kat? Look good?"
"It's called the 'Yippy Skippy Inn,'" stated Kat. "What could be wrong with it?"
"ALL RIGHT! LET'S GO IN! THIS PLACE LOOKS GREAT!"
Quatre winced, rubbed his now aching ears, and said quickly and quietly, "Yeah...listen to her ...PLEASE..."
"Umm, Duo-Sama," said Kat, "I think you'll have to leave the camel outside. I doubt they allow camels in the inn."
"Awww, man..." cried Duo, "I was really getting to like it, too!" He pouted.
"Ah-hah...yes...isn't that nice, Duo..." Kat told him, laughing arcastically. "Now just get the stupid camel outta here."

***

"Let's go get rooms," said Kat.
"Really, Kat? You wanna room with me?" asked Duo, with stars in his eyes.
"WHAT? NO! YOU PSYCHO!" screamed Kat.
"God...I was only joking," said Duo, hurt.
"Umm...Quatre, I think you'll probably have to stay with Chibi Veggie...either that or stay awake all night and drink," said Kat, with an apologetic glance at Quatre.
Quatre sighed, and tried to peel Chibi Veggie off...again...unsuccessfully, of course.
"Anyway. Rooms. That's what's important now..." sighed Kat.
"Kat walked up to the bar, and rang the bell. "Excuse me? Bartender? We're looking for rooms."
"And a drink..." Quatre chimed in, leaning forward and raising his hand.
The barmistress came up to the bar at the ring of the bell. She had short, dark brown hair, and was wearing a black outfit. Her shirt had the inscription "I am the Goddess of Perfection" in silver, script-like writing. "What're you looking for, exactly? How many rooms d'ya want?"
Kat looked at the barmistress's name tag, which read "Danielle." "We'll take...uh...one room...preferrably with a lot of beds," she said glancing nervously around. "I hate sharing beds," she shuddered.
"Right. One room, lots of beds. I think I've got just the thing for ya. Here's your key," she said, handing Kat a large, silver, ornate key. "And you're in room #69."
"#69? I'm not sure how good I feel about that..." said Kat, glancing around even more nervously. "Oh well...hey, guys! I got us a room!"
Quatre and Duo turned around simultaeneously. "ROOM?" Quatre yelled, appalled. "ROOM? SINGULAR? JUST ONE?"
"We get ta share a room? COOL!" said Duo.

PART 5! ---Angel + Duo = Love?
***********************

As Kat, Quatre, Chibi Veggie, and Duo...(sadly, the camel had to be put in the barn, much to Duo's disappointment)...sat around their table eating supper, they noticed a young man walk into the inn. A girl with light brown hair and eyes was following closely behind him, poking him lightly in the back of the neck, while giggling, every once-in-a-while.
"C'mon, Wu-chan...you KNOW you like it, hon..."
The young man had a hand to his forehead, and was muttering, "Buddha spare me, Buddha spare me, Buddha spare me," over and over again under his breath, and he was wearing a VERY agitated expression.
Finally, the girl rolled her eyes and stopped tormenting the guy, seeing that all he was going to do was get drunk until he passed out or she left him alone. Wufei smiled triumphantly, and said "Onna no baka..." softly and then continued on his trip to the bar.
The girl was running around the bar, greeting her friends, who were all saying things like "Hi, Angel-chan! How're ya doin'?"
Duo's eyes were sparkling as he watched her walk around the room. "Du-uh..." he said stupidly, while staring after Angel, drooling.
Kat kicked him under the table. "Duo-sama!" she hissed. "Stop! You're embarrassing me!"
"Duuuuuuuhhh...oh...OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR, WOMAN?! THAT WASN'T JUSTIFIED!"
Suddenly, the man at the bar swiveled around on his barstool, with an angry look on his face. "JUSTICE? JUSTICE? WHAT DO YOU KNOW OF JUSTICE?! YOU ARE AN IGNORANT PIG, CLAIMING TO KNOW OF JUSTICE! YOUR JUSTICE IS NOT NOBLE! YOUR JUSTICE IS FOOLISH! YOU KNOW NO JUSTICE! NOTHING YOU KNOW COULD EVEN AMOUNT TO JUSTICE! YOU FOOLS!" he ranted.
Angel sighed and stood up. She walked over to Wufei and slapped him on the back, HARD. "Thanks for the nice lesson, teach. I'm sure we'll all tune in tomorrow for your next rambling."
"Ooooh...will you be there?" questioned Duo.
"Uhh...I was joking, sweetie..." said Angel, smiling.
Duo blushed heavily. She called me sweetie! She called me sweetie! She likes me! Oh, yeah, I'm da man. Duo, you got yourself a babe after ya! An' she smiled... He swooned. "Uhhh...hi, pretty lady! I'm Duo! What's your name? Can I buy you a drink? A car? A house? A room? Me?"
"I'm Angel, and yeah, sure, I'd love a drink...but I don't think you should have anymore," she said. HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE, HE'S CUTE...AND HE WANTS TO BUY ME A DRINK! How sweet!
Quatre blinked. "*cough MORON cough cough*"
Duo turned around and blinked back. "Uhh....bless..you?"
Quatre rolled his eyes, then picked up Chibi Veggie and said 'C'mon, Veg, I'll buy ya a drink..."
"Oh boy!" said Chibi Veggie.
Quatre and Chib Veggie walked up to the bar. Quatre sat down, and when Chibi Veggie was too little to jump up onto the barstool next to him, he picked her up and set her on it. He rang the bell, and said, "Danielle? Hello? Yes, we'd like to order...umm...what do you have?"
"Well," said Danielle, "we have pretty much anything you want. We have Yippy Skippy Liquor Vodka� brand, we have Yippy Skippy Liquor Rum� brand, we have Yippy Skippy Liquor on the rocks, we have Yippy Skippy Liq--"
"Ehhh," said Quatre, holding up a hand, "I think I get the picture. Do you have any tea?"
"Yes!" said Danielle. "As a matter of fact, we do! It's served half-and-half: half herbal tea, half Yippy Skippy Liquor!"
"AGK!" screamed Quatre, as he collapsed onto the bar. "FINE! I'll just take the..um...Yippy Skippy Liquor Vodka� brand, then...what'll you have, Veg?"
"I'LL TAKE SOME OF EVERYTHING!" said Chibi Veggie, smiling viciously. "Tee hee! I've never HAD liquor before, Quatre! What's it like?"
"Umm...it's...uh...you just tell me after you've had some, okay?"
"OKIE DOKIE, SMOKIE!" she yelled.
"Right...."

***

Kat had gone to bed, the camel was in the barn, Chibi Veggie and Quatre were singing songs in drunken revelry at the bar, and Angel was sitting in Duo's lap(which, of course, Duo was enjoying mightily.)
"THE ANSH GO MARCHINK TENSH BY TENSH, HOOOOOHHRAAAAH...HOOOOOHHRAAAAH...THE ANSH GO MARSHINK TENSH BY TENSH, HOOOOOHHRAAAAH...HOOOOOHHRAAAAH...THE ANSH GO MARSHINK TENSH BY TENSH, THE LITTLE ONE STOPSH TO SHAY 'THE ENDSH!' AND THEY ALL GO MARSHINK DOWN, TO DE GROUNNNDSH, TO GET OUT OF THE RAINSH...RUM, RUM, RUM..." sang Chibi Veggie and Quatre, while Angel fell out of Duo's lap in a fit of giggles. Duo, not wanting to stop a trend, "fell" on top of her, pretending it was an accident. "OOPS! Geez, are you okay? God, I'm sorry..." Angel, playing hard to get, kicked him off and told him to "Get a life." Aww...poor Duo-sama.) Finally, several hours later, Duo and Angel had turned in (NOT IN THE SAME BED, YOU PERVS! GOD, WHERE DO YOU GET THIS STUFF?!) and Quatre and Chibi Veggie had been carried up to their room after passing out from over-consumption of alcohol.

***********************
PART 5! --- Morning Hangovers.
***********************

The next morning, Angel, Duo, Kat, and Wufei(who had joined them after much consideration) were all eating breakfast, and waiting for Chibi Veggie and Quatre to wake up, since they were still out cold from last night.
"Ugh," said Kat, "remind me to never, EVER rent rooms in an inn with a bar when Quatre and Chibi Veggie are with us. I can't believe how drunk they got!"
"Huh?" asked Duo, looking up from staring at Angel...again.
"Oww...head hurts..."stated Angel, rubbing her aching head. "Probably the fall from that barstool..."
"Aw, I'm sorry..." said Duo sympathetically, wrapping his free arm(the other was stuffing food into his mouth) around Angel, who agreeably leaned into his shoulder, grinning, headache forgotten.
Suddenly a mumbled "Breakfast." Came from the stairs.
"Hungry."
"Yeah."
"Tired."
"Yeah."
And a unanimous, "HEADACHE!"
And Quatre and Chibi Veggie tumbled down the stairs.
Wufei stood up and ran to help. "Bakas, you shouldn't drink so much. This will teach you the true meaning of Justice."
Quatre looked up. "Jackie Chan? Whoa...I've seen all your films! You're da bomb, man!"
As Chibi Veggie and Quatre were helped to the table, Quatre said to Wufei, "Hey, man, can I have your autograph?"
Uh," said Wufei, "who the hell is Jackie Chan?"
Angel looked up at Wufei and said "Wu-chan, don't worry about it. He's nobody you need to know about, he'd just make you jealous."
"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" complained 'Wu-chan.'
"Okay, Wu-chan, I'll never call you Wu-chan again, okay, Wu-chan?"
"ARGH! ONNA NO BAKA!"
After Quatre and Chibi Veggie had awakened enough to order breakfast(although they had to immerse their heads in water several several times...) and were eating, Duo brought up Kat's battle with Treize Khushrenada.
"Wow, Kat...that was really cool how you kicked Treize's ass the other day," he said. "You do still have the sword on ya, don't you?" he asked, glancing nervously at the drunken Chibi Veggie. "Wouldn't want HER to get her hands on it..."
Wufei slammed his palms on the table and stood up, rocking the table back and forth.
"YOU...YOU DEFEATED TREIZE KHUSHRENADA?! YOU DID WHAT?! HOW COULD A WORTHLESS ONNA DEFEAT HIM?!"
"I had the Goodyear Blimp on my side," said Kat calmly.
"ACK! SHE HAS MAGIC! THIS WOMAN IS A WITCH!" Wufei yelled. "I'm not worthy of piloting Nataku...I'm not worthy of having this Nataku Dolly, either..." he sobbed, holding his head in his hands. He pulled out a doll from his pocket and flung it at Kat. "HERE, ONNA! TAKE MY DOLL! YOU HAVE TAKEN EVERYTHING ELSE AWAY FROM ME! I AM A WEAKLING! I DON'T DESERVE TO FIGHT!"
"Wufei...SHUT UP!" yelled Angel, standing up. "YOU'RE THE BEST PILOT FOR NATAKU, AND YOU'RE THE ONLY PILOT FOR NATAKU! STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF! GIVE UP THE ACT, WUFEI! GET A GRIP!" she huffed, and then sat down and folded her arms.
Duo blinked at her. "Umm...yeah, Wu-man, she's right, you know...you really should think about your Gundam more. You never see me talkin' about not bein' good enough for Deathscythe. Our Gundams are important, and we're the only people who'll ever be able to pilot them. You know that!"
Angel put a hand on Duo's shoulder. "Hold up...you're a Gundam pilot?!"
Duo sat up a little straighter. "Umm...yes. Couldn't you tell?" he asked innocently, as if normal passerby noticed Gundam pilots.
This is so cool! "Nope...sure couldn't...sorry..." she apologized.
"Oh, well," Duo said. "I don't really care...it's probably a GOOD thing if you couldn't tell. Normally when someone figures me out I just say 'Anyone who sees me is goin' straight to hell,' or when those lunatics change my lines...I hafta say 'Anyone sees me's got a date with his maker.'"
"I'd go on a date with you anytime!"
"Uh...it's not that kind of date...hey...really?!"
"Don't get your hopes up." Angel stuck out her tongue.
"Oh, well...it was worth a try..."
"Uhhh...ANYWAY..." said Quatre, "does anyone have any Tylonol? Excedrin? Aleve? Morphine? Please? No, huh?" Quatre leaned back and kicked the wall.
Chibi Veggie leaned back and kicked Wufei.
"OW, ONNA! ONNA NO BAKA!"
Chibi Veggie giggled.
Wufei glared.
Duo sighed and stared at Angel.
Angel sighed and stared at Duo.
Quatre went to get a drink.
Kat rolled her eyes, sighed, and got up to join him at the bar.("God...I can't stand them anymore...ARRRRRGGGGGGGGH..." and no one seemed to notice her screams...ah, the magic of being preoccupied...")

***********************
PART 7-- WHERE'S THE 40TH MANGUANAC?
***********************

After Quatre and Chibi Veggie had been given painkiller, everybody decided to explore the town further, and look for places to buy gifts for people. Since Angel had lived in the town for a while, and knew her way around, she took them straight to a gift shop.
As they entered the store, they saw a short man with six dots on a forehead bartering with the woman at the front desk.
"No, look," he said heatedly, "I don't think Snip is worth that much! I got Snap for $34! These are from the same series, and this one shouldn't cost more than the other one I purchased! I collect Beanie Babies, and trust me, I know what I'm talking about here!" He glowered at the woman and then went to look at the Boyd's Bears the store was offering.
"Er...Right," said Kat confusedly.
"Ooooh...look! said Chibi Veggie. "He's short just like me!" She then ran off, dragging Quatre along with her, to meet the...uh...short guy. "HI! YOU'RE MY SIZE! HOW OLD ARE YOU? WHAT'S YOUR NAME? DO YOU WANNA BE MY BERST FRIEND?!"
"But...I thought...I though I was your best friend!" Quatre wailed.
"Uh...hi. Yes, I am short like you...my age is not of your concern, and my name is Kuririn, but you can call me Krillin. And, uh...no. I don't wanna be your best friend."
"Ohhh...that's okay, I just remember you couldn't be my best friend anyway, since Quatre already is."
"GOOD!" yelled Quatre, and much to Chibi Veggie's surprise/DELIGHT, he picked her up and hugged her.
Chibi Veggie giggled and hugged back, and then repositioned herself on Quatre's shoulders and played with his hair.
"C'mon," he said, "the others are done. Let's go.
"Ooh, can we get ice cream, Q-chan?"
He grinned. "Sure!"
Quatre went outside and insisted to everyone that he treat them to ice cream. Quatre and Chibi Veggie went to the nearest ice cream parlor to purchace ice cream for themselves, Kat, Duo, and Angel.(Wufei claimed that ice cream made him weak.)
Everybody sat down on one of the stone benches around the table.
Quatre blinked and looked down at Chibi Veggie, who was now reaching up to his shoulders in height.
"Um, Veg, since when are you that tall?"
"Hmmm? I don't know what you're talking about, Quatre, there's nothing different about me. You must be hallucinating."
"Yeah," said Quatre, rubbing his forehead. "I must be."
Kat was sitting Indian style on the bench and eating her Double fudge ice cream. Chibi Veggie was leaning her head on Quatre's shoulder (which it COULD now reach,) Angel and Duo were sharing a float, and Wufei was sitting as far away from them as he could, folding his arms and glaring as hard as he could.

* * *

"We still need to find my fortieth Manguanac," said Quatre.
"You're right," Kat agreed. Let's go back into the woods to look for him."

+++in the woods+++

"Okie Dokie, let's split up. Duo, you go with Angel, Quatre, you go with Veggie, and Wufei, you come with me."
Wufei glared. "ONNA!"
"Dammit, boy, if you don't listen to me, I'll rend you limb from limb."
"Yes ma'am," said Wufei, saluting.
"Very well, then," smiled Kat. "Okay, let's see..." she picked up a stick and started to draw in the dirt. "Duo and Angel, you go along this path here...Quatre and Veggie, cut through the woods until you get to this river and then double back...and Wufei, you and I'll go and circle around the town. We'll meet here at sundown, okay?"
"OK!" was the immediate response.

+++Quatre and Veggie at the river+++

Veggie pouted. "It's hot," she said, kicking her feet back and forth in the river. "I think I'll go swimming."
Quatre turned around with a terrified look on his face. "What?! You can't do that! It's not right! We haven't even known each other for a week!"
"Um..." said Veggie, turning around, "what're you talking about?"
"Uh...nevermind."

+++Kat and Wufei+++

"What are we doing, Onna?"
Kat looked up at him angrily. "Don't freakin' call me that. And we're looking for the fortieth Manguanac. Please tell me you at LEAST know what that is."
"Yes, Onna. I'm not as foolish as you."
"MY NAME...IS KAT. GET IT STRAIGHT, YOU IMBECILE!"
"Yes, Onn--I mean Kat..."
"Good boy. You deserve a treat."
"Oh, very funny."
"I know."
"Shut up."
"No."
"You suck."
Kat lifted a questioning eyebrow and grinned evilly.
"Okay. That was completely unnecessary."
"I know."
"Oh, Buddha spare me..."
"I don't think he's listening."
"I think he's a better listener than you."
"I think you should just keep your damn mouth shut."
"Okay."

Note From Kat: I'm intimidating... Very intimidating. ^_~

+++Duo and Angel+++

As Angel trailed behind Duo, Duo prattled on incessantly.
"And then when I was eight, I ate my first lemon! Boy, was it sour! And then the nuns tried to cut my hair. See how long it is? I couldnt have them doing that. I kept trying to get used to those lemons...I don't think I ever did. I never had much of a tongue for sour things. But I like apples! I had my first apple when I was four. I knew it was gonna be my favorite food. BOY, do I like apples! Hilde likes apples too!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!" Angel screamed.
"Huh? Oh, no no no, you don't get it, there's nothing between me and Hilde! We're just friends! Angel? Angel?!" He turned around and saw Heero with a gun pointed at Angel's head. "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!" Duo yelled. "Heero, what are you doing? Are you crazy? You're scaring her to death!"
Angel was too scared to know what they were saying, and was trembling. "D--Duo...GUN. Death...gun...bad...DUOOOOO-CHAN!"
"Heero, you traitor! We're trying to help Quatre! He's lost his fortieth bodyguard! You can't do this!"
"Yes I can. Just watch."
"Ummm. But we're supposed to meet them. Why don't you just come with us?"
"Very well. But I will keep a hold on THIS," he added, pointing with his gun at Angel.
"Umm...no."
"Yes."
"No..really. Let go of her, Heero-chan."
"No, and if you come one step closer, I'll shoot her."
"No you won't."
"So?"
