Duo did a little victory dance.

Where all the other guys are-

Wufei shook his head. “He’s just.....just wrong.”

Trowa raised an eyebrow but you couldn’t tell cause his bangs(bang?) blocked it from view.

Quatre giggled.

Heero just.....sat there.

The Strawberry King frowned. “None has ever defeated the beast before.....maybe this boy is special....maybe we have a use for him...”

Heero growled. “Duo’s mine. No touching, harming, emotionally scaring, or dreaming about him.”

The King coughed. “Umm....On with the next test!”

Out in the wild, blue, yonder-

“So what’s the next test Sarah-chan??”

“I don’t know!!!”

“WHAT? What are you gonna do??”

“I’ll.....think of something.....hmm....maybe....you think Trowa would be mad if I made Quatre become a princess??”

*silence*

“Umm...er...”

*cough*

*cough*

*silence*

Back down there-

“So you guys got anything to eat? I’m starving! How long you’ve been guards? Got a family? I’ve got a really nice partner.....Do you guys get old? How do you grow the strawberries so big? What time is it? How long have I been in here? You know having a cell made out of strawberries isn’t a very good way to keep someone locked up. Do you know what the next test is? Are you listening to me?? Hello??? Earth to red and short!”

*twitch*

Before the strawberry person could do anything the King and the O’ Braided One’s companions can through the door. Wufei looked like he was ready to fall over laughing.

“We’ve been told you next test Duo....” Quatre started.

“What is it??”

Wufei started to snicker.

“You can’t talk for 2 hours straight.” Heero said deathpan.

“That’s it? Well sheez....”

“Duo, I don’t think you realize what Heero said....”

“The test begins now!” the King said.

Duo clamped his mouth shut, twitching a little.

Everyone just kinda stared at each other for a while.

“So......”

The King looked at Quatre. “My daughter has to be at a meeting at 3pm.....and on Apple Island at 3pm.....she can’t be at both.....you know.....you look a lot like my daughter.....”

Quatre eyes widened as he realized what the King was suggesting.

“Umm....I don’t know sir....I mean...”

“We might be willing to shorten the time span of silence for your friend if you do....”

Duo’s eyes widened and looked at Quatre with big eyes.

“I don’t know......”

“Don’t do it!! Make him shut up for once!!” Wufei stopped laughing when he noticed Duo might be able to talk again.

//well....I guess I just have to look cuter.....*evil smirk*//

*POP*

“What the.....”

Where Duo stood was now a little Chibi Duo, with big teary eyes, chewing on the end of his braid. He held up a sign that read....Pwease, Quatre??......

“Wufei looked away, the cuteness of it all too strong.

Heero was starting at the Chibi Duo. “how come you never turned Chibi for me?” Heero for all the world looked hurt.

If possible Duo’s chibi eyes got bigger and a little more sad looking. he holds up a sign.....Hee-twan.....

Quatre couldn’t take, this was just too sad. “He’ll be able to talk *and* get out of the cell if I agree to do this?”

*nod*

The cell disappeared and the Chibi Duo scurried over to Heero and hugged his legs. “Hee-twan, don’t be swad...” *sniffle*

Heero looked at the little chibi cuddling his leg. “It’s OK Duo....-chan....” He bent down and scooped the little Duo up into his arms. “Your just so cute!”

Everyone stared at Heero. Did he just say Duo was cute!!!??? Quatre wiped a tear from his eye. “That’s just so sweet.....you guys are so *CUTE* together!”

Heero turned surprisingly soft eyes on Quatre. “.....thanks....” Chibi Duo cuddled a little closer.

*snore*

“he fell asleep....”

Now even Wufei was watching with soft eyes.

The King watched all this quietly. //never have I seen such love....// “Come everyone.....Quatre we must get you ready......”

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
