Summary: Uranus and Duo are bored and have explosives...
Duo yawned, stretching his arms over his head. Lounging in the cafe, he was lazily munching on some french fries while looking through a comic book. He was bored. After he'd gotten the Kool-Aid out of his stuff thanks to one Samus Aran in retaliation for trashing her room, he was at a loss of what to do.
And that's when one Sailor Uranus strolled through the door. She spotted Duo and grinned. "Hey, Duo~" She called, eyes dancing, "Bored?"
"Kinda," he said flatly. He looked at her over his comic, sitting sideways in the booth with his legs stretched out along the seat, ankles crossed. "What's up?" he asked her. "Wanna fry?" He offered his plate if she wanted some.
She sat down across from Duo and leaned over, taking a fry. She munched on it, thinking. "I found something interesting."
"What's that?" He folded the corner of the page, never one to worry about later collectible value, and dropped the comic on the table before grabbing another fry for himself.
The blonde munched on another fry. "These charcol tablets... Pretty nifty. You light them on fire and then sprinkle incense over it. Or other fun things."
"Other fun things, huh?" Duo laughed. "Like different chemicals to make colorful flames?" He grinned a bit devilishly at her.
"Yep." She said with a wink at Duo.
"Sounds like it could be fun."
"It does."
"Alright," he said. "I'm in." He chuckled, sitting up properly. He pocketed the comic book. "Want some more? I'm pretty much finshed." He pushed the plate towards her.
She shook her head. "No thanks."
"Okay." He got up, cleaning up after himself. "Let's go." Duo grinned and headed for the door. "So... you have the stuff on ya? I still have the different chemicals we used to color the fireworks in the hangar."
"Yep." she pulled a small tube out of her pocket.
"Cool." Duo held his hand out for it as they walked.
She handed it to him.
Duo looked over the label, reading all the warnings they were about to ignore with a mild sense of amusement. "This stuff sounds awesome... it'll be fun to work with. Slow burn, so we have time to avoid getting ourselves blown to bits." He laughed a bit and handed it back as they walked into the hangar. He headed over to Deathscythe.
"It won't cause that big of a boom, so we're not gonna get yelled at."
Duo shrugged. "I ain't worried about that," he said, pulling stuff out of the hatch. "I'd say set it up at the training grounds, and no one can yell at us about doin' it there. That's what the place is made for, yanno."
"Yeah." She replid with a girn.
He grinned back, carrying the supplies in a bag. "Let's go, then."
Uranus grinned. "Alright!"
"Oh, wait!" Duo grinned. "I saw something really funny on TV the other day." He grabbed a large box of matches and big metal bucket. "Okay, let's go."
"That spells disaster. Awesome." Uranus grinned and followed him out.
Duo laughed as they headed for the training ground. "Yup... definitely."
She laughed.
Once at the training grounds, Duo put the bucket and matches aside. They'd save that for last. "What color should we try for first?" he asked, looking through his bag of supplies.
"Red?"
"Okay." He pulled out what they had used to make red and handed it over. "How many of those disks you got, anyway?"
"Five per package, picked up two."
"Cool." Duo grinned. "Works for me."
She took out one package and opened it.
Duo watched.
Taking out a tablet, Uranus set it down on the ground.
He handed her some of the mixture.
She took it and then lit the tablet on fire. She then dumped the mixture over and stood back.
Duo watched as it flared slightly, but seemed to mostly smolder. "Hmm..." He pondered for a moment. "Maybe we need something a bit more flammable mixed in to get a real flame out of it."
"Maybe... What do you got?"
Duo dug around in his bag. "Not much..." he said. "I don't wanna do anything too huge." He frowned. "Plus... we need to make sure we have enough for all ten, right?"
"Yeah, we do."
"Just some lighter fluid... for the refillable ones."
"Alright, sounds good to me." She took out another tablet and set it down. "Alright. Do your stuff."
Duo didn't use a lot. They didn't really need it. Just enough to dampen the tablet. He then added some more of the red mixture, then stepped back before dropping a match on it.
Uranus laughed as it went up in flames.
"Niiiiiiice," Duo said, laughing with her. "Much better." He grinned.
"Much better."
"Let's do..." He thought about what stuff they had already mixed up. "Green." He went back into his bag.
"Sounds good to me."
Once she had put the next tablet down, he did the same as before, jumping back as it flared up in bright green flames.
"We should do blue!" Uranus said.
"Okay." And the process repeated itself several times in several different colors until they ran out of tablets, leaving an odd looking pile of ash where they'd been burning them.
"So, what do you have planned?"
At that, Duo's shit-eating grin returned. "I saw something awesome on TV the other day." He grabbed the bucket. "I don't have time to really make this sucker into a canon... nor do I have enough matches... but, if we pop the heads off, and then drop a lit match into the bucket full of 'em... it makes a quiet... but really big explosion."
"Oh, that sounds fun~!"
"I might do a canon later, but it takes a lot of time and a lot of matches..." He waved her over and sat down in the sand next to the bucket. "We need to pop the heads off."
She walked over and sat down next to Duo. She took half the matches and began to take the heads off. "Oh yeah, we can do a cannon later."
He nodded. "It's worth it in the end," he said as he plucked away, dropping the heads in the bucket and the sticks back in the box. "Just... because of this tedious little chore, it takes forever. I'd say, start stockpiling them... but I dunno how safe it would be to have a bag full of matchheads laying around until we get enough." He shrugged. "Probably not very."
"Our babysitters would figure we're up to something."
"Not even just that... I could see major disaster potential with a bunch of unused matchheads... like... if something went wrong and they suddenly went off."
"Yeah, that too."
He nodded. Falling somewhat silent for the rest of the mindless job, he finally finished his half of the box, glancing over to see how far she'd gotten.
She'd finished about half her box too. "Ugh, this is boring."
"Yeah... You'll see, tho'." He got up, having saved one match. "Step back a bit."
She scrambled back.
He struck the match and then dropped it in, jumping back. There was a second then a fwoosh as smokey flames burst from the bucket to about two feet high in a rather spectacular flare up. It barely lasted a full minute, but it was bright and flashy.
Uranus let out a low whistle.
"Nice, right? Can you imagine what more would do?"
"That would be so cool."
"Yeah... they took a TON of 'em... and I mean a ton... and put them in the back of a sawed off gas canister to make an impromptu cannon... then stuffed a bowling ball in there," Duo explained. "It sailed off like 1500 feet."
"We'd get in so much trouble."
Duo nodded. "But it would be sooooo much fun."
"It would."
Tapping the bucket to see if it was cool enough to carry yet, Duo nodded and picked it up. "I'm willing to give it a shot... we'd hafta recruit some others, though," he said. "Even if just for the damn match beheadings."
"I'm sure we can get Jr in on it." She said gathering the other things.
"Oh, yeah... I'm definitely sure on that one," Duo agreed. He grinned. "Just... who else?" He pondered it. "I dunno if we could somehow draw out Allelujah's other side."
"Maybe Samus?"
"Maybe... couldn't hurt to ask. She wouldn't be likely to say anything if she decided against it." He picked up some other stuff as well, putting things in the bucket for easier carrying.
She dumped the stuff into the bucket.
"Oof." Duo made a face at her, as he'd been holding the bucket, but then just chuckled. He started back for the hangar. "I hope no one notices the char on the bucket... probably should rinse it out."
"That might be smart. We didn't do anything really dangerous."
"Nah... it's not like we're complete idiots," he said, waving it off a bit. Once back, he put the other stuff back in Deathscythe, then headed over to where the hose was, rinsing out the bucket. "We were just havin' fun."
"We were. But, you know how Pluto and Hilde get."
"Yeah..." Duo grimaced as he dumped the greyish looking water out the back door. Satisfied it was clean enough, he put the bucket away before winding up the hose. "Worth it anyway." He shrugged. "After a while, you kinda get used to hearing it."
"Yeah. I've been hearing it for years from Pluto." She chuckled.
Duo laughed at that statement. Knowing how old the two of them were as Guardians, that just sounded really funny. "Maybe eons?" he asked as he started out of the hangar.
"Yeah, pretty much."
He grinned.
Uranus chuckled.
"So, hey... thanks for the amusement," he said. "Saved me from a day of boredom."
"Not a problem Duo, not a problem."
"I'll see ya around."
"See ya around." She said with a wide smile, winking at him.
Duo headed off back to his hut, a bit springy in his step.
She chuckled and headed into her hut.
