"Head Tripped" ~7~ "Guys, can you help me?" Trowa found Wufei and Quatre sitting on the floor in the living room. Neither boy was talking, or doing anything for that matter. They appeared to be deep in thought. "Trowa?" Quatre looked up. "Heero's fallen asleep in the hall by Duo's door. I want to get him to his own bed." "I wouldn't try to move Heero Yuy without his permission," Chang Wufei said. "We can't just leave him there. He'll be stiff as a board in the morning." "What time is it?" Quatre asked. "Almost one a.m." "Get a blanket and pillow from his room," Quatre said. "We'll make him as comfortable as we can in the hall. It's where he'd rather wake up, anyway." "Right." Trowa turned and moved up the stairs to Heero's room. Quatre spoke softly to Wufei. "Do you think he's still sleeping?" "He hasn't come out, so it's reasonable to assume that he is." "Wufei," Quatre said, a worried look on his face, "What could possibly cause this? It's not natural, and it's very much not like Duo at all. It - it's as if he's possessed or something!" "You don't really think that's possible." Wufei made this a statement, not a question. "Well, I don't know . . . I guess it isn't. But what else could it be?" "I don't know, either." Coming to a decision, Wufei stood, stretching tired muscles. "I say we've waited long enough. We should wake Duo, no matter what the consequences. He's been asleep for almost 30 hours, and that doesn't count the extra sleep he got for the three days before today." "But it might really upset him, Wufei." "That's a chance I think we have to take now. I don't see any other way to do it. We can't just sit here doing nothing." "Let's go help Trowa make a pallet for Heero. We can ask him what he thinks." Wufei headed up the stairs, Quatre following closely.
"Trowa, Wufei and I think - " "That it's time we woke Duo up," Wufei finished. "I think it's the only way we'll be able to help him." Quatre looked anxiously from Wufei to Trowa. "I've been contemplating that, too. It could be dangerous, both for us and for Duo, as Quatre has said. But it may be the only option left to us." "We're agreed, then," Wufei said. "How do you think we should proceed?" "If we're going to do this," Quatre said, "let's make it as easy on Duo as possible. Treat the situation as though everything's fine and normal. One of us should just knock on the door and call him as though breakfast is ready. Then we can go in and deal with whatever we find." "Breakfast?!" Wufei exclaimed. "It's one a.m., Quatre! That doesn't make any sense at all!" "Duo doesn't know what time it is," countered Quatre. "At least, I'd be really surprised if he did." "Quatre's right," Trowa said. "Who wants to knock?" "I will," Quatre said immediately. Without hesitating, he stepped past Heero, still sleeping on the floor, and - The door opened. Duo stood there smiling, dressed in his priest's clothes, his face washed, his hair neatly braided. "What gives, guys? Havin' a party without me?" The stunned looks on the faces of his friends puzzled him. "Looks like Heero's passed out. What'd you give him to drink? You know he can't hold more than one or two before he gets loopy." Duo was met with silence and three pairs of eyes gone wide. "What?" Duo said, arching an eyebrow. If you don't mind," he said, picking up a duffle bag, "I've got a mission." "What?" All three of the pilots spoke simultaneously. "Just came in on my wrist communicator. Guess I never have given up the habit of sleeping with it. Sure was lucky I was able to get all rested and everything, right?" Duo brushed past Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre, leaving them standing over Heero, their mouths open. "I'll just grab some grub on my way out. Should be back in just a couple of days, guys. Tell Heero -" Duo glanced down at the sleeping boy. "Tell Heero if he wants to learn how to drink, I'll give him lessons when I'm back. Ciao!" Duo moved rapidly down the stairs, through the kitchen, stopping to grab an apple from the countertop, and then out through the back door, into the night. TBC
