Duo has a brother...
Duo just looked at the pile of parts he was suppose to rummage through for a good payment. Then a guy in a postal uniform came and gave Duo a letter. "Thanks, bud. I wonder who'd be sendin' me a letter?" He opened it and it said
Duo Maxwell,
I finally found you after all these years.... You may not remember me, Duo, but I am your older brother. You must believe me, Duo. Well, anyways, if you're curious, come to the little italian place on Yuy Street around noon Sunday the 11th. Bring a friend if you wish.
Brock Karlyle..
***Duo***
"What?" I said. I don't believe it, I have a brother. How'd I miss this? Man... Great, I have a brother. And I gotta meet him tommorrow!! Man, what'll he think of me? This guys probably a big business person. No, how old could he be? What am I gonna wear? Wait, that's a question a girl wonders!!! Oi.... Aah, I'll just wear my normal clothes. But should I take him up on the bring a friend thing? "Hmm, I do owe Yuri lunch, so, I'll just bring her. And she'll be thrilled to meet my brother. Hmm, I wish he'd atleast given me a picture so I'd know who he was or what he looked like. I guess he wants to surprise me. Or he's butt ugly and doesn't want us to see him." He laughed. "I'll go see if Yuri's interested." He hopped off the pile of junk he was standing on and ran to the main office.
***Yuri***
While I was finishing typing up a few bits of data for Uncle, Duo, busted in, and scared me half to death. "Hey, Yuri, guess what I got in the mail?!! Guess, guess!!" Duo seemed really happy about whatever he got. I decided to try. "A letter from the pope saying you've got complete permission to wreak havoc on Sweden." Dumb, but it was worth a shot to see him do that eye rolling thing that's kind of cute, in a weird way. "Nope, it's a letter from my brother." Duo said proudly. "You have a brother? Why didn't you ever tell me?" "Hey, cool your jets, I just found out myself. We're gonna meet him Sunday at around noon." "Wait a sec. We?" "Yeah, he said bring a friend, so, I decided I'll take him up on the offer, and plus it'll be fun to get to go to that italian place."
***Duo***
And have a date with you.....
***Yuri***
What could I say? It was lunch with Duo, and I got to meet his brother. Plus, I wouldn't have to pay for it for once. Of course, his bro could be a big jerk, and hate me. Plus what would he think of me and Duo being roommates? Oh, what do I have to worry about? He's Duo's brother? How bad could he be? "So, do you want to go?" Duo asked. "Huh? Uh, yeah, I'd love to meet your brother." "Great!! Alright, tommorrow at noon, we'll go to that Italian place he said to meet him at."
*Tomorrow...*
***Duo***
Great, should I wear my black shirt with the buttons, or the black t-shirt? Aah, the t-shirt. My jeans, or my riding pants? My jeans'll work. Don't wanna look like a slob, yet, not too sophisticated. I guess I could use that aftershave Yuri gave me. I got a black baseball cap on and looked at my appearance. "Not bad, my friend." I looked down at my shirt and decided to tuck it in. Might as well look a little neat, and make a good impression. I saw Yuri pass, brushing her hair. Geez, how is Yuri so calm about all this?
***Yuri***
I passed Duo as I was brushing my hair. How is he so calm about all this? I'm terrified of all this. Meeting his brother is like meeting his dad. What if he doesn't like me? I've got to make a good impression on him. Okay, I guess I can wear that tight dress with the cherry blossoms on it. Maybe I should wear my hair up, no, down, up, down? Oh!! I hate this!!! This is worse then anything! Ooh... I put on some perfume, lipstick, and got myself ready. I looked at myself in my mirror. Okay, I look alright. I walked over to Duo. I had to see if he liked this.
***Duo***
I saw Yuri coming over. Yow!!! She looked hot in that dress. Oh man, she's got the short skirt dress on. Yehaw, I love this!! Oh man, if she only knew how I felt. Aah, quit it Duo, she's just trying to impress your bro. And it'll work, too with that dress."Ready?" She asked me. "Uh, yeah. You look great. Shall we?" I walked over to the door, and opened it for her. "We shall." She said and we walked down to the garage to get her car.
***Yuri***
We were pretty close to the place and I said to Duo "Put the radio on a station." "I thought you usually worked your radio." "Just do it." "Okaaaay....." Duo said in one of his whiney voices. He put it on one of those rock stations that always plays something you can never understand. Well, we were almost there anyways.
I parked the car near where I knew the place was and Duo and I began over to the restaurant. He seemed quieter then usual. "Hey in there, wake up."I said. "Huh? Oh, uh, sorry." Duo said. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Just a little nervous..." "Nervous? The great detroyer nervous? Oh God forbid." "Hey, it isn't like I was ready for this. I'm just nervous he'll be disappointed in me.." "Don't worry about it. If he doesn't like you, he's a jerk." "You're right. I should relax." Duo said.
***Duo***
We got there and before we could tell them who we were, the waiter said "Mr. Karlyle is waiting for you at the table over there. Shall I show you to him?" "Uh...naw...we can find him." I said. "Suit yourself." He said. Yuri and I began over to where I suspected he was. But the guy I thought he was stood up, dropped a tip, and left. The tip was a check, and I saw the signature. It wasn't Brock. Then I saw him.
