Silly Challenge 2 fic, if you forgot what was involved, see http://blissfulignorance.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=3974
<Insert random message involving a disclaimer of ownership of anything>
Duo and Heero, having a somewhat random conversation. Sorry for the delay but I had to scratch my original idea because I couldn't come up with an ending, still didn't like this one but oh well.
"... That doesn't make sense."
"I agree with you, but regardless that's the way it is.
"Why am I supposed to dress up as Santa Claus in November?"
"Early planning, last year we couldn't get a Santa suit in time."
"Well I guess that makes sense, but why explain to me why I'm wearing Spandex as part of this?"
"Hilde picked it out."
"I'll get her for this."
"I doubt it."
"Why is that?"
"Because she is dressing up as one of your Elves, she mentioned something about the outfits being a little small?"
"Ok I'm convinced."
"Don't forget to practice your Christmas carols."
"Christmas carols?"
"What do you expect Santa to sing? 'We all live in a Yellow Submarine.?'"
"Ok point taken, by the way what gifts will I be handing out?"
"Lets see, gundam action figures, Legos, playing cards, various video games, and a rubber duck."
"A rubber duck?"
"A rubber duck."
"Why?"
"Specific request, kid never had one before."
"Ok then..."
"By the way, I have good news."
"You just saved a bunch of money on car insurance?"
"... Actually I did, but what I meant was I'm inviting you to thanksgiving dinner."
"Really?"
"Yeah somehow the order for one turkey got turned into 10 Turkeys, so we're donating 8 of them and having you, Hilde, Zechs, and Noin over."
"You and Zechs at the same table? I wouldn't miss it!"
"Hn."
"I need to get out of this spandex, what else do we have to get done today?"
"Just some shopping for the girls."
"Can we just skip it?"
"No."
"What's with the Mr. Responsible act?"
"Last time Relena ran out involved me going to a convince store only have them 'price check' the item in question."
"What item was that?"
"Hn."
"Come on, tell me."
"If you must know, tampons."(1)
"... You, shopping for tampons?"
"Before you break down laughing you promised to pick up some for Hilde."
"... I did?"
"You did."
"Why don't I remember this?"
"You were busy staring at her new Lime Green Tube Top."
"Oh... Hey how do you get through those shopping trips with minimal embarrassment?"
"After the first time I learned two lessons: One, phone the order in, for the right tip it's not hard to get a stock-boy to get them for you. Two, order a few rolls of duct tape to go with it."
"Duct tape?"
"Duct tape."
"What do you do with it."
"I find uses for it."
"This I have to hear."
"No you don't."
"How would you like me to start asking without stopping?"
"How would you like to loose your braid?"
"Eep! Never-mind." I'll just ask Relena.
"And don't even think of asking Relena or I'll ship you to Hilde as a duct tape mummy." The interesting thing about this threat was the roll of duct tape pulled out of seemingly nowhere now in Heero's hand.

As I was saying, it really was well-written! Well-done!
