Quatre comes running into the room.

Melody: (pleased) Quatre! You're just in time for your introduction. I was just going to send for you.

Quatre: (looking really worried, panting) Melody (pant) Heero's chasin' Duo with the scissors. (pant) He says he's gonna cut off Duo's hair when he catches him. (pant, pant)

Treize: We'll go get him.

Treize and Milliardo hurry from the room.

Melody: (calls after them) Thanks, boys!

Relena: (shakes her head disapprovingly) That's really dang'rous! Heero knows better.

Wufei: Knowin' Duo, he's probly done somethin' to deserve it.

Trowa: Still, it isn't safe.

Wufei: I wouldn't waste my time worryin' 'bout Duo. He can REALLY bug ya. 'Sides, he can handle Heero in a fight. He's done it 'fore.

Trowa: Yeah, LOTSA times.

Quatre: But Duo has been buggin' Heero A LOT lately. I'm very worried. What if Heero has snapped? I heard that can happen to people.

Relena: Oh, Duo's pretty hair! I wish Heero wouldn't be SO NAUGHTY. I hope he doesn't catch him 'cause I really like to braid Duo's hair in the mornin'--that's the only time he lets me. It would take FOREVER to grow it back. (looks worried, puts her thumb in her mouth)

Trowa: Heero doesn't always catch him. Duo can run pretty fast.

Wufei: Yeah, he's gotten a lotta practice 'cause Heero always chases him when he's mad at him.

Quatre: I wonder why he's threatenin' to cut off his hair?

Duo comes walking jauntily into the room, twirling the scissors on his finger. Treize and Milliardo bring the struggling Heero in, each holding onto an arm. Relena snatches the scissors from Duo.

Relena: Duo, that's NOT the Safe Way to Carry Scissors!

Duo shrugs.

Melody: (to Duo) Do you mind explaining what this is all about?

Duo: (innocent big blue eyes) I don't know WHAT his problem is, 'cept he's got a really bad temper--'specially lately, for some reason. (eagerly) You're gonna punish him, aren't ya?

Heero: I don't think I should be in trouble 'cause I TOLD him that I would cut his hair off if he ever called me "hunny-bunny" 'gain. I WARNED him, but he did it anyway.

Melody: Heero, you know better than to threaten people. And you're doubly in trouble because you were running with the scissors.

Heero: But they're SAFETY SCISSORS--they're not THAT dang'rous. (scowls, grumbles) You won't let us have the pointed ones.

Wufei: Safety scissors! What were ya gonna do--HACK his hair off? That would take all day!

Heero: Just leave me 'lone.

Melody: It's time for Quatre to do his introduction, so I want you two to go with Treize and Milliardo to the Nursery and don't even talk to each other. I'll deal with you later--both of you.

Duo: (mutters) There goes the strawberry shortcake...thanks a lot, Heero.

Melody: (before Heero gets the chance to open his mouth) Not another word. Do you hear me?

Both boys nod. The four chibis leave the room.

Quatre: It's my turn now, right?

Melody nods.

Quatre: Okay. I want to thank ev'ryone for comin' to see my gall'ry. That's really nice of you. I 'specially like the pitchers of me with my beloved Sandrock. Sandrock is a really great gundam. I hope you will go to the Mecha Gall'ry to see more pitchers of Sandrock--there's some really 'pressive ones. An' guess what? In the alternate time line I get to have 29 sisters--really! One sister is even a doctor! Anyway, I hope you like all the pitchers in the Archive 'cause we worked really hard so you can see 'em. Enjoy!

Relena: (hugs Quatre) Great job, Quatre! Let's go play on the swings.

Quatre and Relena happily leave hand in hand.

Wufei: (calls after them) Relena! If you're tryin' to make Heero jealous, it's not gonna work!
