"Whose idea was it to bring Maxwell to the party?" Wufei grumbled. Quatre shrugged. Heero groaned. Trowa sighed. Duo giggled, "You're not wearing green Wuffie! You're not wearing green!!" Shinigami pinched Wufei continuously. The Dragon Warrior glared at Quatre, if I break his nose, it's not my fault. "Oh quit it, we'll be late for the parade." Trowa said. the small group left the Winner Mansion.
The streets of the colony was overrun by people. Green and white balloons clustered the sky. Drunk people with green painted faces and funky shamrock hats laughed and pushed people around. The parade itself consisted of dozens of floats, Irish Wolfhounds marching the streets, the band in bright green uniforms, and much more.
"I'm thirsty." Duo announced. "Go find something to drink." Wufei replied irritably. So the braidboy went off to find a drink, he found a small coffeeshop on the street, blocked from view by the huge crowd. The formor-Gundam pilot purchased a large cup of mocha and drained it down fast. Then bought another cup.
"Where's Duo?" Quatre asked, turning to the others. "He went to find something to drink." the Chinese one replied. "A drink?" repeated the blonde. "Yes..." Wufei confirmed slowly, then it hit him, "Oh shit." Heero sighed loudly. "Another holiday ruined." "C'mon, we have to find him before he does something stupid." Quatre said. "This is all your fault, Winner." Wufei growled under his breath.
The group of four pushed through the think crowd looking for their friend. Wufei accidently rammed into a little girl with a green dress. He knocked her to the ground and got her dress dirty. She started screaming her head off. Many heads turned. The mother bitchslapped the Solitary Dragon and stalked off with her kid. Heero smothered a snicker. Wufei was in a very bad mood now. Ready to murder the braidboy if they found him.
"Midoriiro Kaibutsus!! Saikoro!!" the familiar voice of the psychotic braidboy rang out above the murmers of the crowd. "Holy shit..." "Damnit, Duo's Japanese sucks." Heero commented as they rushed towards the sound of the voice. "What's he trying to say?" Quatre asked absently. "'Green monsters! Die!'" Heero replied.
They spotted Duo, with some weird green wig on his head, dancing Irish-style a' top o' a float with a giant shamrock. "A'hoy mates! Come'ta join da par-tay?" he shrieked down at his friends. "That's an Autrailian accent, dumbass." Heero said. Shinigami blinked, then resumed dancing.
"By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,
Where me and my true love were ever won't to gae
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond..."
"When the hell did Duo learn Irish folk songs?" Trowa wondered. The crowd, now was singing along with Duo, not knowing at all that this was not part of the parade. The four other Gundam pilots stared at the crowd, debating what to do. "Well...maybe he won't do anything but sing..." Quatre suggested. "Yeah, you go and assume that, Winner." Wufei growled. "Let's just wait and see what he does, ok?"
"O' ye'll tak the high road and I'll tak the low road,
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
But me and my true love will never meet again,
On the bonnie bonnie banks o' loch Lomond..."
Duo and the crowd continued the song,...when they got to the final verse though, Duo stopped dancing and jumped off the top of the float. Some people screamed, others cheered, the pilots just watched. The braidboy sailed through air and landed on the float behind the one he was on. This float however, had a giant green goat thing on it and it did not support the weight of Duo. The styrafoam statue swayed.
Now the crowd was sure this wasn't supposed to happen. They scattered. "We'll wait and see what happens, says you." Wufei growled. The pilots, too, scattered, they couldn't stop a giant sytrafoam statue. The Giant Green Goat came crashing to the ground smushing several people and breaking a large hole in a small shop. Yes, it was a very big and very heavy statue.
The rest of the parade that was behind the float with the goat halted. The sudden halt caused a chain reaction, you know, all that stuff they taught you in Science? The first float stopped so suddenly that the ones behind it all rammed into it, causing their ornaments and statues and giant green things to topple over. Those items squished more people and buildings. The squished buildings' broken bricks and stuff poured into other buildings causing more damage.
The marching band which had been placed, most unfortunately, behind the float behind the Giant Green Goat Float (Confusing HUH?!). The band members near the rear of the band, the poor trombones and baritones, got rammed by the floats behind them. This caused many dents in their thousand dollar instruments. Many of misfated band people were also squished by the falling statues and giant green things. This caused more dented and broken horns. (So glad I'm not in Marching Band)
The crowd was running around everywhere screaming, trying to drag their friends and family out from the Giant Green Goat or otherwise. Duo, however, was not dancing a'top the fallen goat and screeching about something in German. "Ich bien ien berliner!!" "Maxwell!!" The pilots emerged from their various locations and started screaming at their friend.
Heero had been smushed under a giant celtic violin thing and had a few bruises. A Tuba player had bumped into Wufei and knocked him upside the head with his giant horn. Quatre was covered in green paint for some reason. Trowa looked like a green chicken. Hmm...
Wufei jumped onto the fallen Giant Green Goat and tackled Duo. "AIIIIEEEEEEEE!! Estinguersi!! Estinguersi!!!" the braidboy screamed. "How come Duo is so fluent in other languages when he's...coffeehibilitated?" Quatre wondered, "He failed that Italian test, hands down." "Shut the hell up Maxwell!!" "Should we let Wufei kill Duo?" Trowa asked. "Hn."
When Duo was finally ... calmed, most people had been rescued from beneath giant things and buildings. The huge party at the center of the colony hadn't been canceled in spite of things. The people flocked over there while other...not so privileged ones cleaned up the mess on Main Street. So, it's not over yet peoples....heheheh...
Duo attended the party. Although he was tied, had a sock in his mouth, and was in a corner, far from anything even close to coffee. The room was painted a faded lime green, darker shades of green were present in streamers, balloons, and confetti. It was a pretty formal party and nothing exciting was happening. Quatre and Trowa were having a conversation with Zechs and Noin. Wufei was eating, and Heero was just trying to avoid Relena.
Shinigami was totally frustrated, he was vaguely aware of what happened earlier in the day, him being tied up kinda meant he did something stupid. But he still wanted to participate in the party, he struggled in his bonds. A green goat came up to him, the animal had been painted for the occasion. It started chewing on Duo's ropes. Duo grinned, goats are cool. Soon, he was free of the ropes, he removed the the gag from his mouth and gave it to the goat. The green creature ate it happily and baaa'ed for more.
Duo smirked and slid into the party unnoticed. He was hungry, and thirsty, especially after having a sock in his mouth. He found some food, and some coffee. Oh glorious coffee. Evil Coffee Co. Delicious. Duo drained the cup. Certain chaos followed. I won't go into detail, you can use your imaginations. ^_~
At the end of the day, the room where the party was hosted was covered in green streamers. Torn green streamers. There was blotches of green paint everywhere, green goat prints were also all over the floor. Popped green balloons were on the tables and chairs. Many of the chairs were broken. One of the buffet tables was chopped in half near the middle. Food was spilled on the ground and on the walls. The giant punch bowl filled with some green punch was on the floor, and the green goat was sitting in it. A green Irish Wolfhouse was sleeping under one of the tables. A green chicken was in the chandelier. Hmmm...
