As the G-boys gathered in the central hangar for mission planning, they realized that one of their number was missing.
"Dammit, where's Maxwell *now*?" growled Wufei. A sudden *boing* startled them all into battle readiness, guns (and sword) drawn and pointed at the corner of the hangar from which the strange sound had emerged.
"Relax, guys, it's me!" cried Duo, bouncing out of the shadows. Heero blinked. Wufei blinked. Quatre blinked. Trowa blinked. Lubricating their eyes did not help the situation. Duo, somehow, in a hangar miles from nowhere, had managed to get hold of a pogo stick. *Boing*. "Woo hoo hoo!" cried Duo, bouncing around them in circles, his braid flapping after him like a kite's tail.
"Duo, stop that! Y-you m-might break something!" Quatre said, shaking despite the pink-striped scarf he had wrapped around his neck.
"This is outrageous! I demand you stop this silliness at once!" yelled Wufei, brandishing the broom he had found the night before. "I just got this place clean again!"
"Oh, lighten up, Wu! You're too serious!" cried Duo, continuing to bounce.
"Nobody pay any attention to me," muttered Trowa. "I'll just stand here in the corner, like always." His bang abruptly fell to the floor, and he sighed and stared at Quatre. "Would you mind?"
"N-not at all," Quatre replied. He picked up the bang and pinned it back to Trowa's forehead with a large tack.
"Thanks ever so," Trowa said.
"This is great! I'm gonna try it down the stairs!" Duo cried, bouncing off. "TTFN - Ta ta for now!" And he bounced out of the hangar, singing "The most wonderful thing about Duos - is I'm the only one!"
Heero dipped his hand back into the jar of honey he held in his lap as a loud series of "Itai-boing-itai-crash-boing-itais" met their ears. The others sighed and went to recover their fallen friend. Heero looked at the jar of honey, which he now realized was empty.
"Oh bother."
The End
This was inspired by a lemon I read that managed to work in a Winnie the Pooh reference. I got to thinking about it while I was in the shower, and this is the result. I think there's hallucinogens in my shampoo.
