| For all those who wanted a sequel to Kids, you have my cousin Isabell to thank. I went to the carnival with her today and bless her little four-year-old heart if she didn�t wear me down. I found myself doing things I wouldn�t normally do (like ride some rides that terrify me) but I did it because she wanted to go and wanted me to go with her. She declared me her new sister (since Tomanaiya is off at camp ;_;) and I was appropriately touched enough to write this. Be grateful since I�m exhausted, this is a little�� different. And since my new job starts Tuesday, well�� take what you can get. P.S. The house is based on my grandmother�s in RL. I simply love it. Duo would too; it�s just his style.

[email protected]; any and all comments are welcome like the sweet ego-sustainers they are. I�m nervous. What, you don�t think I have a right to be?! You try staying calm in this kind of situation! I�d like to see how you�d handle it, Blondie; it�s not your ass on the line! I am *so* not over-reacting! God, what�s with you; why aren�t *you* freakin� out, too? Haven�t you even *talked* to Relena yet?! �� I see. So you really have no idea why I�m hiding out here, do you? Aren�t you even slightly curious about why she sent me here? Well, to make a long story short�� I�m adopting and the guys�� Hey! Stop laughing! Why in the hell does everyone think this is funny?! I�m *serious* about this!! Ok, apology accepted. I guess this is a little on the odd side, especially considering who I am. But, I really want to do this, you know. I gave �Lena a whole gushy, heartfelt spiel about it but I�m gonna guess that�s not gonna get me anywhere with you, ne? Thought so. Well, I�ve got it all figured out. Honestly, I thought this out and planned it better then any mission I have had to do in my life! After all, this is more important�� I�ve got a place. Bought it with my own money. Not the stuff we stole from OZ, either. This is cash I earned working up a good, honest sweat and busted my ass to make. Now, before you ask- yes, I had more then enough to buy a mansion on my own. But that�s dirty money, gotten in a dishonest fashion in a miserable war. I didn�t want anything to mar this new beginning, get it? Fresh start all the way for me and the kid. No way in hell was I gonna risk having something tainted like that involved. For all I know, the creds could have been cursed! The house? Oh, you�d love it. It�s this big two-story monstrosity from the Pre-Colony days. At LEAST two hundred years old, easy. Looks it, too. Not ragged, mind you, but the foundation�s stone and so is part of the lower walls. The windows are the thick leaded kind of glass, tough as nails. Some of �em are even stained glass, can you believe it?! Not really bright colors; most are a faded lilac and pink with simple designs, but hey! It�s better then a street rat like me�s ever had! This kid�s gonna have it all! This sucker�s big enough for the little one to run around in and have plenty of space but not too big to take care of. And I got it for practically a song! It doesn�t even need that many repairs; the previous owners did a really nice job keeping it up and modernizing it. All that really needs work is the second level, especially those bedrooms�� Why a two level when I got all this room? What are you, dense? Where will the guys stay then?! Stop staring at me like that. I have not lost my mind. At most I have momentarily misplaced it. Oh come on. Like I told Queenie, they�ll come. Hell, they�re coming already. Ok, so it�s to haul my ass to a padded room but the point�s still the same. They�ll get involved. They can�t help themselves. Q, being the gentle sweetie he is, will think I mean well but that I�m probably not up to the task. He may be right. He�ll be the first to bring the kid a shuttleful of toys and clothes and come over to make sure I�m not feeding my child Doritos or something instead of veggies. The mother hen factor plus uchuu no kokoro means one blonde Arab who won�t want the brat out of his sight. Or me for that matter. Tro will be curious. He�ll wonder what could possibly be so captivating about a child and want to investigate it for himself. He�s got us figured out pretty well � or so he thinks - and I�m willing to bet a month�s worth of laundry duty he can�t reconcile this with what he perceives about me. He�ll want to meet the one responsible for the supposed change in me. Plus, since he�s practically a carnie, he�ll assume he�s got an immunity towards children and that he�s safe. Safe from what? Why, falling in love with the tyke�� duh. Now �Fei will think I�m incompetent. He�s being honest with himself; he knows damn well our childhood blew and that I know jack about this. So he will take it on as his duty towards Justice to make sure I don�t pervert the kid accidentally or something. He trusts me as a soldier and as a friend�� but not as a father. That�s cool, everybody�s entitled to their own opinions. He�ll be there to instruct and discipline, not to coddle. That�s me and Q�s job, anyways. And Heero? Well, there�s the tough part. Before he�ll come around, he�s gonna go nuts. He�s gonna go commando. I�m pretty sure he already has. This whole idea�s got him freaked. He�s the only one who knows so far. Trust me, it didn�t go pretty at ALL. Let�s just say he�s not happy with it and leave it at that for now. Yes, I�m aware he�s hunting me. Yes, I�m aware this is not a good thing. Heero thinks that I�ve lost my mind, plain and simple. The significance of my actions is currently lost on him. He can�t understand why I�m doing this. Yet, anyways. He�ll figure it out soon. ��He has to. I�m NOT a religious fatalist! What is WRONG with you; you knew me from the war! Do I look like a fatalist to you?! He needs this, just like all of us do. Once he understands, Heero will love the kid just as much as the rest of us will. We need to have something as pure and joyous as youth in our lives, especially since ours was stolen from us. Kids are more then the future, babe. They�re the now. You ever spend time with one? No? Well, try it. It�ll change your perspective as well as give you a good workout. They exude energy like you wouldn�t believe. It�s an experience in and of itself to *see* it! What do you mean, �You�ll just watch me instead�? Are you implying something? Once they realize I�m not kidding, they�ll come. Come to help, come to laugh, come to stare�� it really doesn�t matter as long as they�re THERE. If they�re there, then they will be able to see what I�ve seen and know what I know. We�ll all get a chance to grow and heal. It�ll be great. It�ll be beautiful. It�ll be a miracle. �� Try for that Kodak moment and loose the eyebrows, got me Catalonia? Now will you be quiet and let me answer my damn phone?! Huh, that�s strange. Nobody there. Oh well��. Now where was I? Oh yeah. The house is all set up, supplies are in place and all I need are the particulars like gender and height so I can go clothes shopping. It�s all set up, ready to be lived in. Now that I know I�m on the approved list, it�s just a matter of time before I get my own little buddle of joy. I�� I�m really looking forward to it. I�m planning a party. You�re invited, you know. This stunt alone woulda got you in. Everyone I consider family will be there to welcome the newest member of the gang! It wouldn�t be right otherwise. And I wanna get this right. That�s sweet and I appreciate it. I�m gonna need all the congrats and good luck I can get. This is not going to be easy, I know that. But I�m willing to give up a good twenty or more years of my life to it so you know I�m serious. This child will be everything to me. Hopefully, it will be everything to us. It will make us stronger as friends and as people. I want the guys to help raise this kid with me. Especially�� What do you mean, you already know who my crush is? I don�t have a CRUSH, damnit! Only teenagers have crushes!! Teenage GIRLS! Girls, Dorothy, GIRLS! I�m not talking about this anymore. You�re just being an ass on purpose. And this does not help me in my current situation. I need to hide out long enough for the agency to find a suitable candidate and not let Heero catch me. He won�t kill me or even hurt me, I think. Not too much, at any rate. He�s gonna want to get some sense into my head, though, and that�s what worries me. Don�t wanna be all marked up when I go to pick up my munchkin. Might scare them and that would be a sucky first presentation. Or worse, he might try to stop the proceedings. That could get messy and if he thought it was the best way to end this�� �nonsense�, as he put it, he would. He�d tell the world I was a Gundam pilot if it meant it�d ruin my chances. But that would be a last resort. He�s not being spiteful. He just thinks this is what he has to do, that�s all. He doesn�t get that I�m doing this for me, for all of us. I dunno, maybe he thinks this is a liability. �Fei would go with that. All I know is that right now, the Perfect Soldier is trying to stop my dream. And I�m not gonna let him. I want a future. I want to give a child a future. I want my friends to share in that future. I will not let some stubborn Japanese psycho ruin it for us!!!! ��. Yes, that is why I�m hiding like a baby at your place. Where you always this sarcastic or did I miss something during the war? Will you stand by me in this? I know I have Relena but�� I need more people on my side. This isn�t gonna go well for me and I can use all the support I can get. I will love my child, Catalonia, I swear on my life. Nothing will ever harm them and no one will break their spirit or their heart if I can help it. This is just another trial I have to pass in order to enjoy that privilege, that�s all��. Stupid portable piece of junk! Hold on, I�m coming! You can stop ringing now! Damnit, nobody again! Will you stop staring at my phone? It was a wrong number, jeez! Yeah, I gave �em my cell phone number. How else could they contact me? Why do you ask? ��Don�t be silly. I know for a fact that it takes a HELL of a lot of work to track a cell phone number down. Especially mine since I made damn sure it was untraceable when I got the new account just in case�� What the hell was that noise? *That* noise! The one that sounds like C4 taking out a wall! Where are you going?! Don�t leave me! Dorothy! Coward!! Get back here or take me with you!!!! Oh����� hey, Heero. ~ ~ Owari ~ ~ *tries to duck ML rotten fruit but is too tired to be successful* Itai�� There will be another. I�m just a tired little sadist who decided to leave it here, that�s all�� Besides, you *did* ask for a sequel, now didn�t you? And yes, Misu, I am an evil waffle.
