I could kill Duo for doing this! I can’t believe he just volunteered us to watch Hilde’s two little girls without asking Wufei and me first! Here we are, the weekend after the vacation from hell and we’re dressed up like fashion princesses!   “Nattie, please! No more rouge or I’ll look like a clown!” My dark haired lover is protesting the next application of a highly dark blush across his cheeks. I bite my tongue hard, not wanting to laugh. Wufei was already looking like a misfit clown that even Cathy’s circus wouldn’t hire    I look to my left where Duo is sitting back against the couch, legs folded as Ashley ties blue ribbons into his long tresses. They haven’t assaulted him with makeup yet, but he does have a purple feather boa wrapped around his neck.   I simply can’t believe this! How could two little girls have us dressed up in boas and pearls, ribbons and heels? I’m sure Duo is still pissed that I refused to even put on the mini skirt that the girls brought out from their Mother’s closet.   “I swear, Wufei, if you have something planned for next weekend that is this…”   “Heero, nothing could top this weekend.” He groused back with a frown to his brightly painted red lips. The girls have made him look nothing like the princess they were trying for.   “Fei, you look like a who..”   “Duo!” I snapped, glaring at him for even thinking about saying such a thing in front of the little ears around us. Wufei just huffs, blowing a small puff of air into his loose hair.    “Umm, yeah. He sure does look pretty.” He finished lamely in defeat as his eyelids are now shadowed in navy blue. Totally not his color!  It’s almost the same color as the fading bruises are. I laugh to myself before I’m slammed with the makeup case from hell!   I can hear my lovers laughing as Ashley starts plastering makeup on me and Nattie is painting my fingernails. I only hope that Hilde and her husband get back soon! I was handed a mirror fifteen minutes later. I wish that they hadn’t after catching my reflection. My eyes were shaded an ugly color of green, bright red cheeks and my lips looked the color of Relena’s limo way back when. My fingernails didn’t look half bad but the blue lacquered skin had to go.   I prayed that the restaurant burned to the ground, that the movie theater was over run by rodents, but none of them were answered.  The parents of the two whirlwinds have finally arrived home at quarter to two in the morning.   “I’m going to need turpentine to get this crap off of my skin.” I hear Wufei’s complaint, the same as mine. I nod in agreement.  I couldn’t wait to get home and take a very long shower to remove all of the sparkly crap that now adorned my body.   “It’s not that bad.” Duo laughs behind us, his hair still full of curlers and ribbons. Both Wufei and I give him hard glares. He just snorts, shaking his head.   “Could have been worse. They could have made us shave our legs.”   Yes, but the disaster has been diverted for another day. Next time, Duo will be babysitting by himself.
