Duo: Heero says you wanna see me. Am I in trouble?

Melody: Not really, but you shouldn't bug Heero so much.

Duo: (big innocent eyes) Why not? It's fun.

Melody: I don't think Heero thinks it's fun.

Duo: (confidently) He's a big boy. He can handle it. *pause, a look of concern* Just don't give him back his beam saber, okay?

Melody: You don't need to worry about that.

Duo: (big sigh of relief) Great! So, whad'ya want?

Melody: You need to introduce your galleries.

Duo: Alright! (faces our guests, laces his fingers behind his head, elbows out) Hi, everybody! This is Duo here. Boy, are you in for a treat! There's lotsa gall'ries here with lotsa pitchers of ME. Just ME, with nobody else--well, 'cept my gundam--does that count? (looks thoughtful) Well...a gundam isn't really a PERSON, so I guess the pics are justvme. Isn't it cool how Melody got pitchers of us from an al-ter-nate time line? But she won't tell us how she did that. When we asked her, she just said miss-steriously, "Technol'gy is wonderful." (shakes his head) Alls I know is that the pics of me are real cool. Oh--an' make sure you go to the Mecha Gall'ry an' check out my Deathscythe. It's the COOLEST of all the mobile suits--nobody can argue with THAT. I'm a heck of a pilot too. (to Melody) Is "heck" okay? (she nods) I'm also the funnest one of the guys. Honestly, sometimes they're SO GLOOMY.

Milliardo and Treize walk in.

Duo: (confidingly) An' I gotta tell ya that I'm the only one of the pilots that gots all his marbles in one bag, if ya see what I'm sayin'. I mean, look at Heero--he's about as far from normal as they come. No one can argue with THAT. And Quatre with Zero and--

Milliardo: Excuse me, but don't you think calling yourself The God of Death is more than a little on the weird side?

Duo: (annoyed) What do ya mean by THAT?

Treize: Shinigami, The God of Death, your favorite color is BLACK, your gundam is called DEATHscythe, AND the name of your customized gundam--I think you have an unhealthy preoccupation with hell and death. It's all very worrisome, Duo. I think you should see a doctor.

Milliardo: (nods solemnly) I agree.

Duo: Hey--YOU TWO should talk! You guys turn out to be Bad Guys. *to Milliardo*YOU run around with a mask on half the time an' call yourself by TWO names. Is THAT weird or WHAT? An' what was that you tried to do to the Earth? Make it have a per--perp--how do you say that?

Treize: Per-pet-u-al.

Duo: (to Milliardo) Per, per-- (points at Treize)what HE said--wantin' it to be winter all the time. Is THAT NORMAL? (smugly, folds his arms) I rest my case. (to Melody) I heard someone say that on TV--real cool, huh?

Treize: (to Milliardo) There is really no point in continuing this...

Milliardo: I know what you mean. Let's leave.

Melody: Don't go too far, boys. You'll need to do your own intros soon.

Treize and Milliardo leave.

Duo: (does victory dance) Yay! I won! See how they couldn't think of anythin' to say to THAT? I stumped 'em! Am I good or what?!

Melody: Whatever. Are you finished with what you wanted to say?

Duo: Lemme think... Yeah, I guess. I just want ev'rybody to have fun lookin' at the pitchers of ME. There's LOTS of 'em. I get to do lotsa cool stuff, too--lots cooler than Hunny-Bunny does!

Heero: (from the next room) I heard that!

Duo: (grins, shouts to Heero) Yeah--an' what're ya gonna do 'bout it? (to our guests, big grin) Just one big happy fam'ly, aren't we?
