"Well you don't have to be so mean." Duo muttered to himself as he sat down on the bench.
"What did you say Maxwell?" asked Hilde as she approached her boyfriend.
"Ummm, I said that this picnic blanket is really clean." Duo said nervously, trying to avoid the evil eye from the small girl.
"Well it should, I washed it this morning." Hilde sadi as she walked towards Catherine to gossip.
"Bugs! Bugs! Bugs Everywhere!" shouted Dorothy as she was still running around.
"Only girls are afraid of such weak things." Wufei snorted.
"But, they can bite you." Dorothy said as she started putting bug off spray all over her.
"Well, now I'm bored. Lets play a game of football. I found this ball hanging in that tree over there." Duo exclaimed as he pointed at a tree.
"Ummm, Duo. Thats not a football." Quatre said as he started backing away.
"Then what is it? And what are all these little bugs coming out of it? And whats this sticky substance thats on the football. Yumm, tastes good." Duo said as he started to lick the golden substance (honey) off of the 'foot ball'.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! Its a beehive and they're gonna sting us." Dorothy realized as she started screaming.
"Beeeeesssss!!!!!!!!" shouted Relena, Catherine, Hilde, and Sally.
"Get them away from me!" shouted Hilde as she started running away from Duo and the beehive.
"Ahhh, they're stinging me. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts." whined Duo as he tossed the hive to Heero, and ran away trying to get away from the bees.
"Heero, drop it or you'll get stung too!" Relena called.
"Here you go Quatre." Heero said smoothly as he nervously ran towards where the girls were hidden.
"And an early Christmas gift for you Trowa." Quatre said as he followed Heero.
"And Wufei, here's a late birthday gift. Enjoy!" Trowa said as he ran too.
"Duo. You start it, you end it!" Wufei said as he headed towards the bushes where everyone else was.
"Why me? Why me?" asked Duo as dropped the beehive onto the ground and ran to the others as the bees followed him.
"Duo!" yelled everyone as they ran out of their hiding spot.
"What?" asked Duo tiredly as he was still trying to fling off the bees still.
"You brought the bees here you weakling. Such Injustice and stupidity." Wufei told him.
"Come on you guys, bees dont go into water. Lets jump into the lake." Quatre said.
"Ok, its hot anyway." Hilde said as she cannonballed into the lake.
"What about me?????" whined Duo.
"Just jump in you dope and the bees will stop following you." Hilde scolded him as she rose to the surface.
"Ok!" Duo shouted as he jumped in.
"Whoa! Tidle wave!" joked Relena as Duo caused a big wave.
"Yay!!!! Free of bees." Duo shoted gleefully.
"Yeah, but you should look at yourself. Your bites are swelling." Heero told the wet pilot.
"Ouch, they hurt when I poke them." Duo whined.
"Then don't poke them." Catherine said.
"Ohh, thas a good idea." Duo said with a painful smile.
Back at the picnic site
"Now c'mon Duo. Let me put on this ointment so that way it doesn't get inffected." Sally told the scared Duo.
"No, its gonna sting." Duo whimpered when he saw the alcohol soaked cotton swab that Sally was holding.
"It will only hurt for a second, then the pain will go away." Sally said soothingly.
"You know Duo, you've been shot at, beated, and survived a war. You should be used to this already." Hilde told her boyfriend.
"Well,I was either unconscince or really out of it to notice." Duo told Hilde.
"What a weakilng." Said Wufei.
"Fine then, take this knife and cut yourself, then let Sally put the ointment on it." Duo told him.
"Injustice. Why would I cut myself just to prove to you that you are wrong and I am right. I know I'm right." Wufei told the American pilot, then walked away.
"Well it stil hurts!" Duo yelled in the directionWufei was walking.
"No come on Duo. just let Sally do her job, then we'll wrap your wounds. They are already swelling." Relena said.
"No!" shouted Duo backing away from Sally and the others.
"Well, I'm sorry then. Since you won't do it, we'll force you too." Relena said as she motioned Quatre, Heero, and Trowa to catch Duo who was running around screaming.
"Quit being such a child." Trowa said as he caught hold of Duo's shirt.
"I'm not a child!" Duo whined..
"Sally, get over here now before we lose his grasp." Quatre said.
"Ok, coming." Sally said as she walked towards their spot where Duo wasw being held. Heero had his right arm, Quatre had his left arm, and Trowa was holding his legs (a very funny site).
"Ouchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Duo as soon as Sally put the alcohol onto his cut.
"Shutup!"Yelled Hilde over the scream.
"But it hurts!!!!!!!!!!!" shouted Duo in agony.
"Quit being a baby and stick with the pain." Said Relena who was quiet sick of Duo's antics.
"Ohhh, your all against me." muttered Duo.
"Now, is this the last cut?" Duo asked hopefully.
"Last cut, yeah right. You got stung a dozen times, maybe more. Of what I see, you still have 25 cuts, and thats only on both of your arms, i haven't even glanced at your legs, back, chest, or neck." Sally told the now frightened Duo.
"Ohh man, this is gonna take forever." whined Duo.
Mean while, Relena, Catherine, Heero, Dorothy, Trowa, and Quatre lost interest in hearing Duo's agony's. Hilde and Sally were still with Duo.
"Eww! Eww! Eww! Eww!" Dorothy said.
"What is it?" asked Catherine?
"There are ants on the pie." Dorothy said.
"The food!" exclaimed Relena.
"Oh my gosh, the food. We totally forgot about the food after Duo's little incident. Well, all the sweets are gone. But wheres the chicken?" asked Catherine as she looked into the ant covered picnic basket.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I think I found it!" shouted Relena as she looked behind a big oaktree.
"What are you sc.r..ea..m." Quatre stopped talking when he saw a bear eating the chicken.
"A Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"shouted Dorothy as she started running around like crazy.
"Heero! Protect me!" shouted Relena as she jumped into Heero's arms.
"Trowa, Catherine. Aren't you even scared of the bear?" asked Quatre as he clibed up a tree with Dorothy clinging to him.
"No, we sit with tigers and lions. Even some bears (oh my). So this is really nothing to us. Even Trowa is going to it." Catherine said calmly. Trowa was approaching the bear and gently started patting it. In 10 minutes, the bear went away. And with the food.
"Whew, thank god the bear is gone now." Quatre replied as he climbed down.
"I wasn't scared." Relena said.
"Yeah right!" Dorothy said.
"Then why did you jump into Heero's arms?" Catherine asked smugly.
"Yeah, why?" asked Heero quite amused at the blushing princess.
"Well, i figured that Heero would want to cling to something, so i juss voluntarily just sat in his arms. And that is it." Relena told the sweat dropped group.
"That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard." Dorothy muttered.
"Well then why do you explain why you were clinging to our dear Quatre" Relena said slyly.
"Because, ummmm. Well I. Well I'm wearing a skirt and I can't climb a tree like Quatre in it. So, i just simply asked him and he said yes,.."
"No you didn't. In fact that kinda hurt." Quatre began.
"Shut up, and I just climbed onto him and he pulled me up." Dorothy said.
"Ha! That excuse is just as lame as mine." Relena said.
"So you admit it." Dorothy said with a smug.
"Well, I learn the lamest from the lamer." Relena said.
"Whooh! Catfight!" hissed Duo as he and Hilde and Sally appoached the group.
