Warnings: Shonen ai (3+4, 1+2), slight OOC, Humor
Author's Note:This isn't based on the movie. I actually got the idea after reading Raihne's -Chan series. I'd also like to thank my friend Larissa for giving me ideas whenever I was stuck.
Warning:Expect a sequel! *Evil grin*
Trowa was sitting on the couch, reading a book. His right arm was around Quatre, who was leaning against his shoulder as he dozed. Alea was sitting in Quatre's arms, snuggled back against him with a content smile on her face. Duo had commented earlier on what a cute family they made, which made Quatre blush and Alea giggle with an odd smile on her face.
Someone knocked on the door. Oddly familiar voices filled the house. "This had better be it." an older voice said threateningly.
"Oi, it's not my fault they moved while she was here!" a young voice protested.
Alea sat straight up, her eyes wide. She struggled to get down, waking Quatre.
"So-wo!" she shrieked. "So-wo!"
Wufei entered the room, looking dazed with a confused expression on his face. He was followed by four adults and two children.
Alea ran to the children. "So-wo! Ta'ara!" she cried.
They hugged her. They were both about three years old, one boy and one girl. The boy had an unruly mop of dark brown hair that half hid his beautiful indigo eyes. The girl had chestnut hair in a braid that came to just below her shoulders and prussian blue eyes. The boy grinned openly, while the girl had a small smile as Alea beamed up at them.
"Konnichiwa, Alea-chan!" the boy said cheerfully.
"We missed you." the girl told her in a soft, quiet voice.
"I mi' 'ou, too!" Alea told them, her smile lighting up her whole face.
Immediately she was swept up in a tight hug by a short blond man with glasses. "Da-ee!" she squealed, throwing her arms around his neck.
"Thank Allah you're safe." the man murmured, kissing her temple.
"You gave us quite a scare, chibi tenshi." a tall man with brown hair in an odd, familiar style told her.
"Papa!" Alea threw herself into his arms.
It was about this time that Heero and Duo came in to see what the commotion was about. Duo stared at the four men. "Nani?!"
The little boy blinked. "Hey, Dad, he looks like you, only wierder!"
The girl glared at him and smacked him upside the head. "Baka!" she hissed. "Don't be rude!"
"Hai." one of the men told him, looking down at him with a slight frown. He was taller than the blond, but shorter than the other man. He had dark brown hair in the same mop as the boy's and prussian blue eyes. "Especially considering that you're in enough trouble as it is."
"Oh, Allah..." Quatre whispered, staring at the four men in shock.
The older blond man looked at him and blinked. "Oh, dear."
The little boy grinned triumphantly. "I *told* you she was safe! After all, she couldn't be any safer than she is with you."
"You're skating on thin ice." the last man told him warningly. He was about the same height as the dark brown haired man. He had chestnut hair in a braid that brushed the backs of his knees and indigo eyes.
Alea frowned, shaking her head. "Iie." she said firmly. "I' wa' my i'ea."
The blond man and the man with the odd bangs looked at her incredulously. "It was your idea to scare us all half to death?" the blond man demanded.
Alea looked sad. "I wa'ed 'ou to sto' figh'ing." she said in a small voice.
His expression softened and he kissed her forhead, brushing her bangs back out of her face. "Gomen nasai, Alea-chan. We didn't mean to upset you."
"Just don't leave without telling us, onegai?" the taller man added.
She nodded. "Go'en."
"Excuse me, but what's going on here?" Duo asked.
The blond man smiled, chuckling softly. "Gomen, Duo. We weren't expecting to see you, and it's a little strange."
"A little?" the older chestnut haired man repeated, raising in eyebrow.
He laughed. "All right, so it's very strange to meet ourselves in the past."
"Your what?!" Duo demanded.
The chestnut haired man laughed. "Hai, Duo. I'm you from the future. That's Heero, Quatre, and Trowa." He gestered to the dark brown, blond, and odd banged men respectively.
"How is that possible?" Heero asked.
The little boy grinned. "My sister's a genius, that's how!"
The girl glared at him, but she was blushing.
The older Heero sighed. "Takara-chan is an inventor. She built a time machine, but never told us about it until now."
"You never asked." the girl replied, crossing her arms with a slightly smug look on her face.
"But who are they?" Wufei asked, frowning as he nodded to the children.
The boy grinned. "I'm Solo!" he piped up.
"Takara." the girl stated quietly.
Duo had gone deathly pale. "S-s-solo?" he stammered.
The older Duo smiled. "Hai, Solo."
"What so special about that?" Trowa asked.
"I vowed a long time ago that if I ever had a kid, I'd name them Solo, after a friend of mine that died." the older Duo explained.
"So Solo is your son?" Heero asked quietly. His eyes were clouded.
"Ours." the older Heero corrected. "Solo and Takara are the children of Duo and I."
The five boys stared at him incredulously.
The older Quatre chuckled again. "Let's just say that technology's a bit more advanced in our time." he told them.
Quatre was staring at him. "You don't mean..."
The older Quatre smiled. "Hai. Alea-chan is Trowa's and my daughter."
Alea beamed.
Quatre took a deep breath and let it out shakily. "That's why she has green eyes then."
The older Quatre nodded.
He sighed. "Well, at least now I know who she really is."
"What do you mean?" Trowa asked, looking at him in concern.
He bit his lip nervously. "Ano...I knew she wasn't my niece, but I didn't know who's child she was."
Wufei stared at him. "You mean you knew she wasn't even related to you and you brought her in anyway?!"
"I couldn't just leave her!" Quatre protested.
"How did you know?" Takara asked quietly.
Quatre turned to her and smiled. "It was a very good idea to say she was my niece, but none of my family members have ever had green eyes. Until now, that is." he added quickly.
The older Heero and Duo glared at Solo. "Oi, she was still safe, ne?" he protested. "I knew Uncle Quatre would take her in."
Trowa chuckled softly. "That's because he's got such a big heart."
The older Trowa chuckled, too. "Hai," he agreed, making both Quatres blush.
Suddenly something beeped. Takara looked at an odd looking watch on her wrist and sighed. "We only have a few minutes to activate the portal to go home, or we're stuck here for ten years."
Her brother and the four men stared at her.
She shrugged, unconcerned. "I haven't perfected it yet."
Alea sniffled and held her arms out to Quatre. He took her from the older Trowa, hugging her tightly. He brushed her bangs back again and kissed her forehead. "Aishiteru, Alea-chan."
"A'shewu, Da-ee." she told him, hugging his neck with her little arms.
Trowa took her next, and smiled at her after kissing the top of her head. "Remember, you're always welcome to come back."
She gave him one of her bright grins and hugged him.
When it was Duo's turn, he swung her around through the air and blew on her stomach, making her squeal. "We'll miss ya, Alea-chan!" he said cheerfully before passing her to Wufei.
Alea threw her arms around Wufei's neck. "A'shewu, Unc'a Wu!"
To the other pilot's surprise, he smiled and hugged her back. "Aishiteru, chibi ichi."
Heero shocked them even more by actually smiling at her and giving her a hug. "Try not to cause too much trouble, chibi." The older Trowa took her back, setting her on his shoulders. She
beamed down at the five boys. "A'shewu!"
"We've got to go." Takara said quietly. She turned towards the door.
"Can't you activate the portal in here?" Duo asked.
She shook her head. "Like I said, I haven't perfected it yet. The temperal field is too unstable." She sighed at their confused looks. "If I activated it in here, it would break all the windows and bring up a wind that would throw everything around the room." she clairified.
"Oh."
****************************************
Quatre sighed, pulling out the data disk he'd bought while Alea was there. It had been nearly a week since the little girl had gone home, and he missed her terribly. It was nice to have someone to take care of, someone who depended on him so completely. Even the other pilots had started to miss her cheerful smile and sunny attitude. Duo called it 'Alea Withdrawl'.
He put the disk into his laptop and brought up some of the pictures he'd taken. There were pictures of Alea playing, eating, sleeping, and smiling. He laughed at one of her sitting in Trowa's lap, looking up and blinking as she poked at his bang. He frowned when he found one of him dozing with Alea sound asleep in his arms. He didn't remember taking that one...
A pair of arms slipped around his waist. He smiled. "Arigato Trowa."
"Duo helped." the taller pilot replied, leaning down to look over his shoulder. He chuckled at the picture of Quatre frowning as his fingers were tangled in Alea's curls. "I think he had as much fun taking them as you did posing."
They blinked at a picture of Trowa on the couch with Quatre curled up against him, Alea in his arms. Quatre smiled, snuggling back against Trowa. Trowa pushed his glasses back up for him, kissing his nose as he did so. {Maybe having glasses isn't so bad...} Quatre mused.
The next picture made them both blanch.
"DUO!"
