"So what do you wanna do tonight?"
"I don't know. What do you want to do tonight?"
"I don't know, what do you want to do?"
"Let's play a game."
"Oh come on Kay. Aren't we too old for monopoly?"
"Who said anything about monopoly Duo? I was thinking more along the lines of a drinking game. But if you guys aren't up to it…" Kayley said, Duo laughed.
"What did you have in mind?" he paused "How about we start with 'I Never'?" Duo suggested, and the other pilots looked at him.
"I'm not a big fan of drinking guys." Quatre said, Kayley smiled at him.
"Oh my wonderful Muslin husband…just try it and if you don't like it then don't play. Or we can give you soda. Of course you can't get drunk on Pepsi but that's okay." She said, Quatre blushed. Kayley went to the kitchen cabinets and tried to grab the liquor but she found she was too short.
"Allow me." Trowa said, and he reached up and grabbed the alcohol. Kayley was none too happy about being the shortest person there. She went to the refrigerator and got a case of beer out that she had saved for just such an occasion.
"Killian's Irish Red. Perfect. Quatre will you get the shot glasses?" she asked and Quatre went and got six shot glasses, "So guys, where are your significant others?"
"They went out for a 'girls night out' or something." Wufei said, and Kayley sighed.
"So this must mean I'm not a girl?" Kayley suggested. Duo laughed loudly.
"Well I know a way to find out…hey Quatre? Is Kay a girl?" he asked and Quatre smiled, examined her and smiled again.
"Yeah I can say from experience that she's a girl." Kayley looked at him.
"Very funny." Kayley said and she sat down and they looked around, "Who wants to start?"
"I will!" Duo said, and he looked around and smiled, "I never…I've never had sex with Kayley." He said, Kayley's eyes went wide as Quatre took a drink.
"Starting big I see."
"Hell yeah."
"You are a major dork. Heero it's your turn."
"I never got a tattoo." Kayley and Duo drank.
"Let's see them." Trowa said, and Kayley rolled up her sleeve to show her Irish harp tattoo that read 'Saostát Éireann', and Duo also rolled up his sleeve and revealed a scythe and a rose.
"Your turn Trowa." Duo said, and Trowa thought.
"I never had sex with a man." He stated, Kayley smiled and drank.
"Okay. I should hope not." Kayley said, "Wufei, you're up."
"I've never tried to commit suicide." He stated flatly.
"Okay." Heero said and he and Kayley both drank, "Quatre's it your turn."
"Okay. I never…I…I never had sex with anyone other than the person I married." He said, Kayley sighed deeply and drank, as did Duo.
"That was sweet and all love, but you didn't think before you spoke." She said and Quatre didn't understand, Duo looked at him and mouthed 'the rape'. Quatre gasped.
"Oh shit I'm sorry. I forgot." She smiled at him.
"It's okay man. No biggie. My turn right? I never…I've never had sex with a woman." She said and all the men at the table drank, "Maybe we should play something else instead. How about the 'James Bond Challenge'?" She suggested, really wanting to play something else.
"How do you play that?" Heero asked, Kayley smiled.
"Well we watch a James Bond movie and every time you hear James you drink, every time you hear Bond you drink, every time you hear double O seven you drink, every time Bond kills some one you drink and every time Bond sleeps with a woman…you drink. It's fairly simple." She said, they smiled and nodded, "Great come on." She said and they all went to the living room and Kayley put in 'The World is Not Enough'.
"If we go home drunk, can we blame it on you?" Duo asked, Kayley smiled and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Yes blame me, tell them I suggested we play drinking games. And when they come thinking they're going to yell at me we'll see how tough they are facing me." She said, they laughed, "Oh! This one requires beer, I'll be right back!" she said and she ran to the kitchen to get the beer.
"Are you sure you can reach it Kay?" Duo asked.
"I'm a highly trained assassin…and I could kill you from here if I wanted to! So stuff it!" she yelled from the kitchen.
"Well I was just tryin to help. I mean you're what four ten? You might need hel…" He said, and the other pilots put their hand over his mouth, to save him from certain death. She walked in with the case of beer and looked at him.
"Guys let him go. If he wants to die, then more power to him." She said, they let Duo's mouth go and he looked scared, "Now you were saying?" she asked him, he said nothing, "That's what I thought." She said and she sat down and pressed the 'play' button on the DVD player. The movie started, and Duo stayed away from Kayley as best as he could.
{An hour and a half later}
"Personally I think Bond is an idiot. He shouldn't tell anyone his name. He should do what he's got to do and get out." Heero said.
"That's what I was thinking. When I was watching it when you guys were on that mission, I was like he just wants them to shoot him. That must be it. But whatever." She said, and then the movie was over, "Well now that everyone is pretty drunk. What do we do now?" Kayley asked.
"How about spin the bottle?" Duo suggested, sounding very drunk.
"I don't think so Duo."
"Aww come on Kay." Quatre said, Kayley laughed at him.
"Okay, okay." She grabbed an empty beer bottle and they all situated themselves in a circle, "I'll start…I suppose."
"These have to be good kisses. The French kind." Duo said and Kayley spun the bottle. It stopped at Trowa.
"Oh joy. It's just one of those nights. I hope you guys don't remember this when you're sober." She said to herself and she kissed Trowa, "Quatre it's your turn." Quatre spun the bottle, it landed on Wufei.
"This is not dignified." Wufei said, before kissing Quatre.
"Shut up Wufei." Duo said, and he took the bottle and spun it. It landed on Kayley.
"Oh boy!" she said and they kissed, "Heero. It's your go." It landed on Duo. They kissed and then it was Wufei's turn, Wufei's landed on Trowa. They kissed and then Trowa went and his landed on Heero. Then Kayley went again. It landed on Heero. When she kissed him, he looked less than happy.
"I'm your best friend and I don't really think we should be kissing. At least not like that." He said, she looked at him.
"You're sober?"
"Yeah."
"Oh good I was beginning to think I was the only one." Kayley said smiling.
"Yeah I'm sober. But we need to end this game."
"I know. I think we need to keep you guys here tonight. I can't have you trying to drive home. If the girls want to get mad at me, then let them. I'm not letting you guys get killed." She said, and she looked at the other pilots, "Okay guys that's it. You need some sleep. You're all drunk." She said and she took the bottles off of the floor and began to clean up. Heero helped her. When everything was washed and away or recycled they found that the four other pilots fell asleep on the floor.
"They were really drunk." Heero noted.
"Yeah they were." Kayley said yawning, "We should at least put blankets over them, I'm not awake enough or sober enough to carry them to a room without dropping them." She said, and Kayley went to a linen closet and grabbed some blankets and pillows. Once they put the pillows under the pilots' heads and the blankets over them Heero and Kayley sat on the couch and watched them sleep. Heero stretched his legs out and Kayley looked at him, "Hey try to leave me some room too!" she said, Heero smiled and grabbed her by the waist and positioned her to lie next to him on the couch.
"Here, now lay sideways and we both have room to sleep." He said and she sighed and closed her eyes.
"Goodnight Heero." She whispered.
"Goodnight Kay." He said and she fell asleep, Heero kissed the top of her head, "You're a good girl Kayley. A very good girl." He said, he kissed the top of her head again and closed his eyes and fell asleep.
{5:30 the next morning}
The door shot open as four very unhappy women barged into the house. Dorothy Catalonia went to the sleeping Kayley and slapped her on the cheek. Kayley, sleeping and unsuspecting shot up and looked around.
"What the hell?" she asked, looking around for the person that slapped her.
"Why are all the guys here? And what are you and Heero doing sleeping together?" asked a very angry Relena Darlian. Kayley's eyes were wide, as she sat up trying to keep herself up.
"What?"
"What are all the guys doing here?" Hilde asked looking at the four pilots on the floor.
"They came over here…because they were bored…because you had another girls night out…we played some games and they fell asleep on the floor." Kayley said, feeling that she had a hangover.
"What about Heero?" Relena asked.
"He was the only other one who was really sober…so he helped me clean up and get these guys…somewhat comfortable. Nothing happened…I'd never do that with my best friend…you girls obviously don't know me well." Kayley said, she slowly got out of bed and stood up. Dorothy opened her mouth to speak, but Kayley cut her off before she even started, "Listen…I had a long night…I've got a hangover…I'll bet that these guys will also have a hangover when they wake…but none of them are as deadly as I am when they're pissed off. So shut up." She said and she went to her bedroom and into the bathroom.
"What are you doing?" Sally asked.
"Taking my medications…is that okay with everyone here?" Sally looked curious.
"What medications are you on?"
"I'm on anti-psychotics. And I'm on special painkillers and I'm on anti-psychotics." Kayley paused, "I said that didn't I?"
"Yeah…you did. How long have you been on these medications?" Sally asked. Kayley thought.
"I suppose ever since I was brought into the mental hospital. I've had to take them ever since, to keep myself stable, keep myself moving and all that." Kayley paused, "Why?"
"Oh…no reason. What are your symptoms?"
"At the moment I don't have any. Which is why I'm taking the medication…to keep the symptoms away."
"Why are you taking them?" Hilde asked, Kayley sighed.
"Because the doctor told me to." Kayley said, clearly avoiding answering Hilde.
"But what are they for?" Hilde asked.
"They're for my illnesses. And I'm in a lot of pain."
"What illnesses?"
"Hebephrenic schizophrenia. There I answered your questions. Now zip it." Kayley said, sounding very irritated at Hilde's constant questions. Kayley took her pills.
"What's that?" Dorothy asked.
"I suppose I'm not going to get rid of you until I answer. Fine, fine. It's a type of schizophrenia characterized by fragmented delusional thoughts, disorganized behavior, disorganized speech, unusual mannerisms and facial expressions. There you have it…happy now?"
"Oh okay. So can it be cured?" Relena asked.
"Well, I don't believe that there is much of a cure for it. It's a biological disease that requires really only treatment to decrease suffering and to reinstate daily functions." Kayley answered, and she could tell they were worrying.
"You're suffering?" Sally asked.
"No I'm just peachy keen!" Kayley said sarcastically, "I'm fine." She said and she put her medication away and left the room. Kayley then stopped at a sudden realization, "You guys don't know what happened…do you?" she asked.
"What are you talking about?" Relena asked.
"I'll take that as a no." Kayley said, and she went to the other pilots to wake them up, "Come on guys. Wake up. I'm in trouble, the girls are mad at me." She said and Wufei woke up and threw his pillow at her, "I'll get you for that mister justice boy!" she said and she took the pillow and hit him on the head with it, "Now get up!"
"Okay…okay. Oww…my head. Did you have to hit so hard?" Wufei complained.
"Yes. Now get up. I'm in deep shit!" she said and Wufei and Trowa sat up and saw the girls staring angrily at them.
"Oh no." Trowa said, seeing Dorothy's mad face.
"What the hell did you think you guys were doing?" Dorothy asked. Kayley stood waiting for them to yell at her for not sending them home.
"We didn't have anything to do. You girls left us alone, and so we came here to have a guys night in." Duo said, standing himself up.
"What about her?" Dorothy asked, pointing to Kayley.
"What about her? She's one of the guys…because she obviously isn't one of the girls!" Trowa said, Kayley was surprised that he was defending her.
"Hey Heero. Wake up! We have to defend the short one!" Duo yelled to Heero, who immediately sat up and looked around. And Quatre also sat up when Duo yelled.
"Duo, don't start with me." Kayley said. He smiled and hugged her.
"Having a guys night in with Kayley is more fun than sitting home while you have a girls night out. And you want to know why?" Duo said, and Kayley was trying not to laugh.
"Why?" Relena asked.
"Because Kayley can drink just as much as we can and not get too drunk! She'll play 'I Never' and the 'James Bond Challenge' and 'Spin the Bottle' without acting stupid or drunk! She's much more fun than you girls are." Duo said.
"You were very drunk Duo. Heero and me were the only ones who were somewhat sober. Though I think I was losing it. But Heero was more sober than I was." Kayley said to Duo, who laughed.
"See? She's much more fun to hang out with."
"Wait? You guys played spin the bottle?" Hilde asked.
"Yeah. So?" Wufei asked.
"I think I'm going to make breakfast." Kayley said and she went to go to the kitchen but Dorothy pushed her back into the room where the guys were and Kayley tripped over Quatre and fell onto Wufei, "Oww. Fucker, why the bloody hell did you do that? Oww…Wufei are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Dorothy, what was that for?" Wufei asked.
"We searched all night for you guys. We were panicking beyond all measure and she's the reason we had to search the whole Sanq kingdom for you guys!" Dorothy yelled, but as Dorothy was busy yelling she didn't notice that all the other pilots went to Kayley.
"Dorothy cut it out. You're messing with a brotherhood now, and when you mess with one of us…you mess with all of us." Duo said, Kayley held back the urge to laugh.
"A brotherhood? With that? Yeah right!" Dorothy said heartlessly. Kayley was getting irritated with Dorothy's insults. She tried to stand up in an attempt to knock her out and shut her up, but Wufei and Quatre held her back.
"Dorothy…I would suggest you stop. Because this girl is going to kill you if you don't stop insulting her." Wufei said and Dorothy smiled.
"Really? I thought she didn't want to kill anyone anymore?"
"With you I can make an exception." Kayley said sounding offended by Dorothy.
"Would you girls stop Dorothy before she gets hurt?" Quatre asked, but the girls shook their head 'no'.
"She's the reason we're here. She should not have let you guys spend the night…" Relena started.
"Oh so I should have let them kill themselves driving home? Is that it? I should have let them drive home drunk? That's a splendid way to kill my best friends!" Kayley said.
"You should have at least called us." Sally said. Kayley was beginning to think that they were all dumb blondes, even though they weren't all blondes.
"I was drunk! I was tired! I'd just kissed three out of the five gundam pilots! I was not in my right mind!" she yelled, Wufei and Quatre still holding her back from killing some one.
"Which three?" Hilde asked.
"I'm not telling."
"Guys? Which three kissed her?"
"They won't remember. They were way too drunk to remember." Heero looked at Kayley, and she blushed.
"Heero must have been one…who were the other two?" Hilde asked. Trowa and Duo raised their hands.
"You remember? Lucky me." Kayley said sarcastically, "It was just a game. Why would you think something else happened?" Kayley was still trying to get free from her comrades, but now they were all holding her down.
"Why did you even play spin the bottle in the first place?" Dorothy asked.
"We were trying to pass the time! We needed something to do! Why can't you just suck it up and take it like men?" she yelled.
"Because we're not men! We're women…and apparently unlike you, we take our spouses seriously!" Dorothy yelled and with that Kayley had had enough, she pushed all of the guys off of her and reached under the couch and grabbed a gun. Ever since her kidnap, Quatre had decided to keep at lease one gun in every room. She went to Dorothy and held it up to her head.
"If I remember correctly…who's the only one here who's married? Me! They're not your spouses yet! They are your boyfriends!" Kayley yelled, and she paused, "You guys are the picture of an uptight girlfriend! You can go out bar hopping, but if they go out you get very upset! Lighten up!" she yelled and Dorothy was afraid, "And one more thing! I'm a guy in every way but three! I look like a girl…I have the body of a girl…and men can and have done things to me that they can only do to a girl!" she yelled, she pushed the gun, making Dorothy's head move back. Then Kayley took the gun and put it back under the couch.
"Maybe I'll just go. Wufei I'll be at home." Sally said and she left.
"Yeah. I'll see you later Duo." Hilde said, following Sally.
"Bye Trowa, see you later." Dorothy said and she left.
"Heero, I'll talk to you later. I'll be home." Relena said and she also left. Kayley watched them leave.
"Wow, Kay, that was…" Duo started.
"Just shut up!" she yelled and she went to the backdoor and out to the pool.
"…great." Duo said, finishing his sentence. They all went outside to talk to her.
"Just go away!" she said, they didn't, they sat next to her. She had her feet in the pool and she was moving them back and forth.
"Kay, don't worry about them. They're just upset. Give them time, they'll come around." Heero said, and Kayley laughed.
"I really don't care. They're all little bitches. I'm sick of them judging me…that's what's pissing me off. Not that Dorothy slapped me and pushed me around. I don't care; I really didn't feel it. That they constantly judge me and…as you saw…they wouldn't give me a chance. It just gets annoying after a while. They judge me, but they even know me." She said, they understood how she felt.
"Hey man, we're always here for you. You can always come to us if you need us. Like I said, we are a brotherhood, and your just as much a part of it as any of us." Duo said and he received positive nods from the other pilots.
"Thanks guys. You're the best."
"We know." Duo said. He put his hand out in front of her, "All for one." He said and the others put their hands on his. She smiled and put her hand on top.
"And one for all." She said
"Catch your pants before they fall!" Duo said, and they attacked Kayley and threw her into the pool.
"Oh very funny guys." Kayley said and she climbed out of the pool and stood on front of them dripping wet. She saw that Quatre was laughing at her, "Oh really?" she said and she gently grabbed his shirt and pulled his lips onto hers, her tongue exploring his mouth.
"Is that the kiss I didn't get last night?" he asked once they released, she looked up into his eyes.
"Yes, but there's more to come. Just wait until tonight." She whispered in his ear. He smiled.
"Hey shortie!" Duo yelled and Kayley looked at him, he was on the other side of the pool, "Bet you can't catch me!" he yelled and she ran after him. Once she caught him she threw him in the pool.
"Does anyone else want to make fun of me because I'm four ten and ninety-one pounds?" she asked, they all shook their heads 'no', "Good. It means you're intelligent human beings."
