"Heero," Duo whispered into the other pilot's ear. "Do you want to go pick blueberries with us?"

"Will you leave me alone if I say no?" Heero asked looking up from his laptop.

"No."

"Fine. I'm coming."

"Yosh! Quatre! He's coming with!" Duo shouted racing from the room.

Heero sighed, shutting down his laptop. 'This is going to be a very long day,' he thought, standing to follow his koibito.

Ten minutes after they started driving, Duo asked the unescapable and most annoying question ever to plague car trips...

"Are we there yet?"

"No, Duo," Quatre replied absently as he studied the map. "Left up here, Trowa."

*Two minutes later*

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

*Five minutes later*

"Are we there yet?"

"No!!!!" *A few minutes later*

"Wufei. Let. Go. Of. Duo's. Neck." Heero growled, bypassing his normal threat. Wufei reluctantly complied, releasing the pale neck. Duo slid into Heero's strong embrace, silently. Well, for a second, anyway.

*An hour later*

After several wrong turns, near murders and suicides, the car, which I should add that was 'borrowed', pulled into the blueberry farm. The five boys trudged up to the main booth to pick up buckets. Wufei was feeling slightly better and thankfully Duo was being silent. 'Oh kuso. I spoke too soon.'

"You know Wu, you shouldn't have worn white. Blueberries stain."

"Maxwell. Shut. Up."

Duo quickly slipped to the other side of Heero and began to quietly chat with the other three. After getting their buckets, a woman brought them out to an area of the patch. She warned them not to pass the chain-link fence before she drove away in her go-cart. The boys began to pick the berries, moving very carefully between the close bushes.

"Itai!" Duo yelped as his braid was once again snagged by a branch. Quatre rescued him before moving away with Trowa.

Duo turned to ask Heero a question but found his koi was gone. "Heero? Where are you? Mochiron. Figures. I'm the only one who could lose their boyfriend in a berry patch." Duo froze. "Wu?" Duo caught a flash of white as Wufei moved to a new spot. He followed the white. "There you are. Where's Heero?"

"I don't know, Maxwell. Go find him yourself." Wufei stepped away and was suddenly bombarded by icky, squishy blueberries. Duo laughed as the other three intelligently fled into the maze of trees.

Duo stopped mid chuckle as Wufei whipped to face him. "Gulp. Um, Wu, wait. I didn't, well, maybe I did. Can't you take a joke? Hellllllp!" Duo ran from the sharp end of the katana that Wufei had suddenly materialized,(we'll never know how they do that_>.<_ shimatta!) unknowingly running past the fence and the beware sign. He stopped several minutes later and began to refill his bucket (as you probably guessed, Duo was the ringleader of the 'make Wufei's white outfit an interesting shade of red, permanently' prank.) Duo popped a couple in his mouth as he continued foward. He saw a flash of brown and heard bushes rustle.

"Heero?" Duo reached foward, parting the bushes. But instead of Heero, the braided boy saw a huge grizzly bear. The bear rose to it's back legs, roaring in anger over being disturbed. Duo yelped and took off in the direction he had come, silently wishing for his gun. "HEERO! HELP ME!"

Elsewhere, Quatre and Trowa were making out behind a bush, unaware of everything and everyone. Heero saw them but thought, 'Nope. I'll leave them alone.' He casually dropped the berries he had gathered back into the bucket. Then he heard Duo's cry and he ran toward his lover's voice.

Quatre and Trowa broke their kiss as they saw Heero run past them. They two boys looked at each other before jumping up and chasing after their friend. Wufei poked his head out into their row of bushes and the two pilots pulled him along as well.

Duo ran frantically. Sharp teeth and claws reminded him what was chasing himm. Suddenly, Heero burst through the bushes and caught Duo. The bear roared its challange. Heero jumped the bear just as the other three pilots entered the small clearing. Dust rose, covering the fight. It began to fade as Heero stepped out of it, unharmed. Duo glomped him, showering him with kisses. The others nearly gagged at the sight. There wasn't enough bear to fit in a snack ziplock (you know, the one that you can never fit anything into.)

"Let's go home," Trowa suggested, leading the way out. Quatre and Wufei followed, eventually joined by Duo and Heero. The pilots, minus Duo, secretly gathered more berrries. They turned and smashed them into Duo's hair, running before his death threats could be formed into words.

Quatre paid for the berries and the boys left. Wufei insisted on sitting up front as Quatre drove home. Trowa starred at his blonde lover then out the window as Heero and Duo snuggled.

When they got home, Wufei retreated to him room, to change and relax. Quatre and Trowa went to their room to finish what they had started behind the berry bushes. Heero quickly went to the store as Duo washed the berry mush from his hair. Duo finished quickly and went back to his and Heero's room. Heero was waiting for him.

"Ready?" Duo asked.

"Hell yeah!" Heero smirked. "It has been a very long day."

Grabbing a can of whipped cream and the bowl of berries. Duo captured Heero's mouth. "Mmmmm, I love Heero with whipped cream and berries. Yummm."

Poor Wufei. He didn't get much sleep that night.
