Chapter twelve: W I don’t own Gundam Wing. I don’t own DBZ either. I don’t own anything from Escaflowne, Pizza Hut, or whatever else you might think I might own.

 

Where Are the Kids?

 

Dr. J had worked one whole week with hardly any food, water, or sleep. He was being monitored carefully every time. Every time he stopped to pause he always heard a threat. By this time Dr. J had heard lame threats, bad threats, good threats, and threats the gundam pilot’s never used but should’ve.

 

Damn J! Dr J. said to himself. Look, the answer has got to be here somewhere! Dr. J looked around to seee what they didn’t try and what the kids had tried. Okay, they walked inand pulled out the T.V. They plugged in all the wires and made this old dishwasher hum. They got in the car, turned it on, pulled the stickshift and… “Dammit! What did those freaking damn kids do?!” Dr. J shouted.

 

“Hey!” Catherine yelled, “Don’t use that language with our children or I’ll make sure your trip to hell is no vacation! Now, get back to work!”

 

“Alright, Alright.” Said Dr. J. Damn! What was it? Toaster, plugs, T.V., dishwasher. No! It can’t be a stupid toaster. He thought.  Plugs, T.V., dishwasher…plugs…T.V.…dishwasher?

 

“Dishwasher!” Dr. J shouted. “The dishwasher!” Dr. J ran over to the dishwasher the kids had sat on. Sure enough, there was water leaking out of it.

 

“Water must be the last component!” Dr. J stated. He took some water and moved over to the second machine.

 

“Not so fast!” Catherine shouted. “Girls! Zeches! Dr. J figured it out!”

 

Faster than you could say mobile suit the mothers and Zeches ran into the church.

 

“He said it was the dishwasher!” Catherine shouted.

 

Dr. J told them everything he found, so they wouldn’t think he was hiding anything. “The water from the dishwasher must have sparked an electric charge the machine needed. If I pour water around the car, then it should, hypothetically, work.”

 

 The girls jumped in the other time machine with Relena at the wheel. “This is strictly hypothetical  you know!” Dr. J called out to them. “There are no guarantees.”

 

“We will take that chance,” Relena said, “For the sake of our children!”

 

Dr. J realized it was futile to argue . He got out some water and poured it around the car.

 

“There’s no place for me to sit.” Zeches stated.

 

“Zeches,” Relena said gently, “Stay here and make sure everything’s alright with Dr. J and the other scientists.

“Let you go alone?!” yelled Zeches. “Relena, I have you back, and now you’re ready to leave me again?”

 

“Miss Relena, the doctor’s done, let’s start the car!” Dorothy shouted.

 

“Okay. Zeches?” Relena quietly responded. “I will try my best to get back to you. I promise.”

 

With that, Relena turned the ignition and Dorothy moved the stickshift.

 

 

 

It had been eight days since the the pilot’s children came to the past. The gundam pilots didn’t tell any of the kids the truth. They felt it was more comfortable this way. I mean, they weren’t exactly sure if the kids would hate them, or scarier yet, if they would run up to them and call them the word that chilled them to the bone. Daddy.

 

Right now the kids were allowed to run free around the hangar. The children took up their old games again, and the pilots were about to see a side of being  a parent they never knew before, and they never wanted to…

 

“Dominic!” Quatre shouted. “For the last time, come out! I fixed dinner thirty minutes ago and it’s getting cold! Come out!”

 

“I’m not hungry.” Quatre heard out of a nearby tree.

 

How’d he get up there? Quatre thought, the only branches are twenty feet from the ground!

 

“Dominic, come down! That’s a very dangerous tree!” Quatre shouted to Dominic.

 

“I’m fine. I’m not hungry!” Shouted Dominic back.

 

Quatre was really getting nervous. How did he get up there? Geez, that is way too dangerous. I gotta get him down. “Come down Dominic! I am not kidding.”

 

There was no answer.

 

“Dominic come down now or I’ll go up there and get you myself, young man!” Whoa! What did I just say?? Thought Quatre.

 

“Alright, I’m going. Geez…” replied Dominic. Quatre just watched in amazement as Dominic jumped 100 ft. down from the tree, and landed with a soft thud on the ground, just like a cat.

 

“Man, I thought my mom was hard. What are you yelling at me for, anyhow? The others aren’t in as nearly a safer place then I was,you know.” Dominic replied.

 

Quatre fell out of his trance. “Huh? What do you mean? Where are the others?”

 

Dominic shuffled his feet. Man, I opened my mouth again! “…, oohhhhhhh nowhere.”

 

Quatre looked at him doubtfully.

 

“Hey Quatre!” Duo shouted. “Have you seen Michael? I can’t find that kid nowhere!”

 

Quatre continued looking at Dominic. Unconciously, he began to tap his foot.

 

“Oh, alright!” Dominic shouted. “They’re all next door playing DBZ on the roof.”

 

“Next door?” Duo said.

 

Quatre seemed confused. “But the only thing next to the hanger is either an empty parking lot or…Oh Shit!”

 

Duo and Quatre looked next door at the 50 floor building.

 

“…” was all they could say. Then they ran as fast as they could as they shouted out to the other Gundam pilots, “Guys, come quick!!”

 

The others came running out and followed in suit with Duo and Quatre.

 

“Where are we running to?” asked Wufei.

 

“Those stupid kids are playing on that building’s roof ?!!” Duo responded.

 

“What?!” Heero, Trowa, and Wufei said together. They ran up to the building and went up the stairs. They opened the door and saw…

 

Michael and Mingh Loh fighting on the edge.

 

“Come on, weak Onna!” Michael chided her. “Can’t you land a punch?”

 

“Shut up!” Mingh Loh said, “I will defeat you.” With that Mingh Loh landed a punch on Michael, he started to teeter on the edge.

 

“Fall! Fall!” Mingh Loh shouted.

 

“Nooooo!” cried Duo as he started running towards the edge to grab Michael.  Fortunately, Michael had balanced himself back out, but Duo slipped on the edge…

 

“Whoa!” shouted Michael grabbing Duo by the ankle as he dangled in mid air.

 

“You shouldn’t be up here.” Michael said to Duo, “It’s dangerous, you know.”

 

“Baka!” shouted Mingh Loh back, “Why didn’t you fall?”

 

“Great balance.” Michael said while pulling up Duo.

 

“Another round? Rei?” asked Mingh Loh.

 

“Sure.” Said Rei.

 

“Oh, no you don’t!” shouted Wufei. “You almost killed that kid,Schin!”

 

“No I wouldn’t have. What are you doing here?” asked Mingh Loh.

 

“It’s dinner time.” Said Quatre.

 

“Alright!” yelled Michael as he jumped off the edge.

 

“What the Hell?!” shouted Duo running after him again.

 

“Calm down. He is fine.” Said young Heero.

 

“Are you saying even though he jumped off a 50 floor building he’s going to be fine?!” shouted Duo again.

 

“Yes.” She said as she jumped off the building. The other kids followed suit.

 

The pilots started running down the stairs and out the building. They saw the kids just waiting for the pilots to show up. They had been fine.

 

“How-” started Quatre.

 

“We’re just special, that’s all.” Said Michael. “So, where’s the grub?”

 

The pilots just walked home with the kids running in front ot them.

 

“They are extraordinary.” Quatre said. “Imagine if the doctors did ever get a hold of-”

 

“Wait!” shouted Trowa. “Where’s Jimmy?”

 

“Wires.” All the kids said together.

 

“What?” responded Quatre.

 

The kids all pointed up. Jimmy was on the telephone wires walking with them the entire time.

 

“Come down.” Trowa said.

 

“…” was Jimmy’s reply.

 

“Now.” Trowa said more sternly.

 

“…, no.” Jimmy replied.

 

Trowa jumped up to the wires and walked towards Jimmy.

 

“Let’s walk.” Said Jimmy. Trowa just stared at Jimmy. Then they started walking
