Peace Children Chapter 2

After leaving Duo, Heero ran to catch up with Kali.

'So, you and that braided dude seemed to hit it off okay.' Kali thought to him.

'His name is Duo, and don't think I didn't notice you and Hilde talking throughout the entire class.'

'She's cute, ain't she?' Kali mind-spoke to him. "Oh, there's daddy. I can't wait to get home!" Kali exclaimed. "We have much to discuss."

"Hey, Daddy," Kali said to Odin, getting in the car.

"Hello," said Heero.

"How was your day?" Odin asked the two.

"Fine," was issued forth from twin lips.

The conversation stayed light and fluffy on the way home, the conversation of a loving father inquiring as to how his children's day was. The spoken conversation, anyway. The mind-speak convo went like this:

Kali: 'Hi, Dad.'

Odin: 'Hello, Kali. What happened today?'

Kali: 'Not much, some guy was hitting on Heero. They're going out Friday. I'll find some way to tag along.' Here Kali paused. 'Have they found us yet?'

Odin: 'No, the Collectors have not yet learned of our whereabouts.'

Kali: 'How much longer until we get back to the house? Seven hours is a long time to keep the power in. Heero must be feeling it, too.'

Odin: 'Only a few more minutes. Try to hold it."

***

Kali and Odin spoke to each other like Heero wasn't there, like he couldn't possible be listening. They wrongfully assumed he'd been zoning out, like they always did. But he wasn't zoning out. He never was, at least, not since their birthday.

Ever since their birthday , Heero started noticing weird things going on with his body. First of all, he noticed a quickening in his healing abilities. At first, it wasn't much, just a cut not scarring when it would have before. Then, injuries were healed days before they should have. Now, it was only a matter of minutes before any harm done to him was erased. He had absolutely no acne now, whereas before he had a zit every now and then. And even old scars he had for as long as he could remember were healing. And that was just the beginning. A few weeks ago, Heero had fallen down a flight of stairs and broke his leg in three places (he knew because he counted it himself). When he fell, he knocked over a vase of Odin's. A vase that Odin's mother had given him. Heero knew Odin would be sad over the loss of the item, because it was on of the only things he had to remember her by. Heero felt bad and wished for the vase to be fixed. Before his leg was healed, which by that time took less than a minute, the vase was on the table in perfect condition.

There was also the fact that animals loved him now. Three months ago, they went to the zoo, he, Kali, and Odin. Wherever he would go, the animals would get as close to him as they could. He could have sworn that a Bengal tiger actually purred at him. And at the alligator show, the gators broke away from the trainers and crawled over to Heero. One even put its head in his lap.

And that's just the tip of the barrel. In the four months since Heero and Kali turned 15, things had been very weird. But then again, Heero had known since he was 8 that his family was different, and that not everybody could mind-speak with their parents and siblings.

That was the first time Heero listened in on his dad's and sister's private conversations, but it would not be the last.

When Duo got home, the first thing he did was Wufei.

"Guess what I did in Art today?" Duo asked after Wufei picked up the phone.

"I don't know," he replied, knowing that Aldin was in that class, too. "Drooled all over the new guy?"

"Hey!" Duo exclaimed, mock-indignant. "I didn't drool that much. But, anyway, I did talk to him, and guess what - we're going out Friday!"

"Good for you, Duo," Wufei said, distracted by his girlfriend's roaming hands. "Listen, I got to go. Meiran's here." With that, he hung up.

"Bye, Fei," Duo chuckled.

Duo knew it was only Wednesday, but he picked out his outfit for his date with Aldin and figured out what they would do.

***

"What do you mean 'it's got to be a group thing'?" Heero fumed. "How did Dad even find out about my date?"

"Daddy said it had to be a group thing, and that I have to be there." Kali said, trying to calm down her brother. "As for how he found out, you told him. You were totally projecting it. I wouldn't be that surprised if the neighbors knew." Heero was calming down. Good. "But, ya know, Dad never said how big the group had to be. Four's a group, don'tcha think?"

"Yes," Heero said, knowing where she was headed with this. "We just need to find you a date."

Heero jumped up and ran to the phone.

"What are you doing?" Kali asked, confused.

"I'm going to call Duo, and find you a date," Heero answered. "Oh, shit. I don't know his number."

"Why don't you try the phone book," Kali suggested. "He might be listed."

Heero got the phone book out until he realized that he didn't know Duo's last name. He concentrated on Duo- his eyes, his hair, his voice, until a name came to him. Maxwell. Heero looked in the phone book under Maxwell and was disappointed to see 5 listings. Then one listing jumped out at him, Helen Maxwell. He decided he didn't have anything to lose, so he dialed that number.

"Hello," came a male voice over the phone.

"Is Duo there?" Heero asked, hopefully.

"Yes, he is," the voice answered. "Who can I tell him it is?"

"Tell him it's Aldin." Heero said.

***

Duo gulped when his brother Solo told him who was on the line. He just knew Aldin was going to break the date with him. He just knew it.

"Hello," Duo said.

"Hey, Duo," Aldin said. "Listen, about our date Friday..."

'Here it comes,' thought Duo, 'the brush off.'

"My dad said, because you're so much older than me, it had to be a group thing. And that my sister had to go. So she and I were talking, and we decided that four was a big enough group, so all we needed was a date for here. Is that okay?"

Duo let out the breath he didn't even know he was holding. While he was a bit disappointed that he wouldn't have the beautiful boy all to himself Friday night, he was beyond happy that Aldin hadn't decided to cancel the date.

"It's fine," He said. "Did you guys have anyone in mind?"

"Actually, yes," Aldin replied. "Sera wants to Hilde to come, if she wants."

"Hilde will definitely want," Duo laughed. "She couldn't stop talking about how 'hot Sera is' and how 'smart Sera is' the whole time I was driving her home. I'll set it up."

The rest of the week went by quickly for Kali and Heero. On Thursday, they went shopping with Odin's credit card because she needed "felt dowdy compared to the other girls and needed something to wear." They ended up getting over $1,000 worth of clothes and shoes.

It didn't really matter how much they spent, though. It wasn't like it was their money anyway. Odin was an expert hacker and got all of their funds through Swiss bank accounts, much of it from Collectors' accounts.

Friday night came and Hilde and Duo got out of Duo's car, parked in front of the twin's house. They rang the bell and practically had to pick their jaws up off the ground at the sight before them when the door opened.

Sera was wearing a parody of a Catholic school girl's uniform, much like Britney Spears' in the "Hit Me Baby, One More Time" video. Her black platform boots came up to mid-thigh and there was at least an inch and a half of bare skin before the plaid skirt started. The shirt was just as bad, a 3/4 length sleeve white button up that was tight enough to show the outline of her abs.

Aldin was wearing low slung dark, dark blue hip huggers, and a shirt 2 shades darker blue than his eyes that looked like it was much to little and exposed a sliver of his bronze stomach. Duo thought he was wearing eyeliner, but couldn't be sure because of the shock of chocolate hair falling over them, and he knew that he was wearing lip gloss, making Aldin's already tempting lips almost irresistible.

"Ready?" Duo asked, after finding his tongue.
