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.
Chapter five: What Was Your
Name Again?
“Hey!” shouted the long-braided man,
“Can I get you kids something?”
“Oh Yeah!” said Michael. “I’ll take
something to eat!”
“Cool. What would you like?” asked
the long-braided man. “We have hamburgers, sandwiches, ice cream, cereal,
fruit, steak, enchiladas, rice, soup-”
“I’ll take a little bit of
everything!” replied Michael.
“Wow! I thought I ate a lot!” said
the long-braided man. “I’ll be back in a Jiffy.” Michael was pleased he was
going to finally get something to eat, but all the looks and glares he was
recieving made him wonder if he did something wrong.
“You stupid Otoko!” shouted Mingh
Loh. “You’re asking our guard to get you something to eat this late at night!
Are you crazy!”
“Well!” yelled Michael back, “at
least I didn’t nearly get all of us killed by yelling at the only sane man we
were four years old and not three. Then you had the nerve to call him a
brainless baka!”
“That’s different!” shouted Mingh
Loh.
The children just watched as Michael
and Mingh Loh got into a heated argument.
“Hey, kids! Stop yelling at each
other already!” said the long-braided man. “Here, I got something for everyone
to eat,so dig in!”
All of the children thought it
wouldn’t be good to piss off their guard, so they ate.
“By the way, My names Duo Maxwell.
Also go by the God of Death!” the man had said in between bites. “What’s
yours?”
The God of Death!! Thought the kids. They gulped. Michael took another bite of
his hamburger and said, “My name’s Michael Schbeiker.”
“Schbeiker?” said Duo interested. “I
got a friend with the same last name. Do you know her?”
Michael thought. The only person
I know with that last name’s my mom…
Strange. Thought Duo. Probably just coincidence. “Hey, what’s
your name?” he pointed to the little boy next to Michael.
Is he
talking to me?! Thought Dominic. He gulped.
“Dominic” he replied softly.
“Dominic
what?” asked Duo.
“Dominic
Catalonia.” He responded.
“Whoah!”
Duo spluttered up some milk. “Did you just say Catalonia? Are you related to
Dorothy Catalonia?”
“She’s my
mom!” Dominic responded beaming.
Duo fell
backwards in his chair. “Did you just say she was you mom?!” shouted Duo.
“Well,
yeah.” Replied Dominic.
Man.
These kids are starting to get kind of spooky. Duo thought. “Hey, what’s your name?” he said as he pointed
towards the kid who was sitting on a
bed.
“Jimmy
Bloom.” The child responded.
“Oh. Nice
to meet you Jimmy.” Said Duo. Thank goodness. I thought his name was
Kushrenada or somethin’. “So, who’re the last three?” he asked as he
pointed to the children who were leaning against a wall.
Mingh Loh
walked up towards Duo. “I am Mingh Loh Schin.”
“Oh.
Cool.” Said Duo, “What about you too?”
Michael
intervened quickly. “Ooh! I wouldn’t try talking to them one on one just yet. I
can tell you their names though! There names are Rei and He-”
But he
didn’t get to finish. Someone came in. The light-blonde haired man and the
one-eyed man.
“Hey,
Quatre. Trowa.” Said Duo. “Meet Michael, Dominic, uhh… Jimmy, Mingh, and-”
“My name
is Mingh Loh!” she shouted.
“Whoa,
sorry! Touchy.” Responded Duo.
“Tell me
about it!” said Michael.
“What
brings you two down here?” asked Duo.
“Well,…”
began the light-blonde haired man, “we found something interesting about a
block from here. We were wondering if the children knew anything about it.”
“Well, go
ahead and ask’em!” said Duo, “They don’t bite.”
“Hi. My
names Quatre Raberba Winner. That man over there in the corner is called Trowa
Barton. We were wondering if we could ask you about the car we found about a
block from here?”
The kids
were glad to hear someone wanted to talk about to them about how they all got
there. “Sniff. I wanna go home… sniff.” sniffled Dominic.
“Well,”
Quatre started, “We can’t let you go until after our mission, but if you tell
us where you live, Heero’s decided he would give your family a message.
Michael
looked confused. “Heero? How can you get a message to our mom’s?” asked Michael
looking at Heero. Heero just looked back at him with a confused expression on
his face.
“What are
you talking about?” asked Duo.
What are we
talking about? More like what are you talking about?!” replied Michael.
“Heero’s standing right over there with Rei.” Michael said as he pointed
towards Heero.
Quatre,
Duo, and Trowa stood silent for a moment.
“Look at that!” laughed Duo. “I guess becoming a war Heero paid off!
Moms are actually naming their kids Heero!”
Quatre
and Trowa still seemed stunned. “His name’s Heero?” asked Quatre.
“Yep!”
responded Michael, “His names Heero Yuy Peacecraft.”
“Peacecraft?!” Quatre, Duo, and even Trowa shouted
together.
“Wow.
Here I thought the ‘Schbeiker’ and ‘Catalonia’ last names were strange!” stated
Duo.
“What do
you mean ‘Schbeiker’ and ‘Catalonia’?” asked Quatre.
“Hmm?”
Said Duo. “Oh. Two of their last names were Schbeiker and Catalonia. Hey! Did
you guys know that blonde kid’s Catalonia’s kid?”
“No way!”
said Quatre. “Impossible! Those kids are four years old. Dorothy’s 17! She
would have been at most 13 in order to have him. Not possible. Just no way you
guys!”
“Quatre?”
said Duo concerned. “Calm down there, Buddy Boy. There’s a lot of freaky things
going on with these kids right now. Let’s just call it a night and we’ll talk
to them in the morning.” Yawned Duo.
Duo led a
bewildered Quatre out. Quatre kept muttering things like ‘impossible’ ‘no way’
‘not that type’ and so on as they left.
The kids
nestled into the beds they had been given as best they could. All except Heero.
He just slumped down against the wall.
“Hey,
Heero?” called out Michael.
“What.”
Chimed Heero.
“Can you
sleep without your mommy’s kiss goodnight?” asked Michael.
“No.” was
all Heero said.
“Yeah. Me
neither.” Michael sighed and rolled onto his stomach. “I wanna go home.”
“Me,
too.” Whispered Dominic, trying to hide the apparent quavering in his voice.
“I will go to sleep without my mommy’s kiss,
because I am a strong Onna and not no weak Otoko!” said Mingh Loh proudly.
“Even as
prisoners, she still has to chide us!” complained Michael.
“Hey.”
Jimmy said. “Go to sleep. We will get our kisses another night. Have faith.”
“Yeah,”
Michael repeated, “Faith.”
With that
the children drifted to sleep. Except two. Rei got out of her bed and went over
to her brother. He opened his eyes.
“What’s
wrong?” he inquired.
She
didn’t say anything, but she didn’t need to. She slid to the floor and nestled
down beside her brother. He wrapped his arm around her and said “Have faith.”
