"Why did we agree to this?"
"Because it was either this or going to that family reunion," Heero reminded him as he pulled salad fixings out of the fridge. "Remember? Big old family get together? All your relatives?"
"Thanks, I had managed to block it out." Sanzo shuddered and tapped his beer bottle against the counter. "When you put it like that, this is Nirvana."
Heero smiled. "It's been 10 minutes, do you suppose they have the grill going yet?"
"Hopefully- or they've managed to burn your porch down. Is this your way of asking me to go look?"
"I looked last time." It was Heero's turn to shudder. "They were still arguing about how much lighter fluid to use."
"I'll go." Sanzo got to his feet and lifted the bottle in Heero's direction. "If I'm not back in five minutes, assume the worst."
"Got it."
Sanzo cautiously opened the slider and stepped out onto the patio. Goku and Duo, he was relieved to see, had actually decided to be cautious and move the grill out to the cemented area away from the house.
Which was really good because the barbeque seemed to have turned into a primitive fire pit- something that might be used to toast marshmallows with if you didn't mind them getting carbonized in under a second, but not something that you'd want to put good food on.
"Hey Sanzo!" Goku waved at him. "Got the steaks ready?"
"That doesn't look ready for steaks," Sanzo countered. "It looks like you've set up an altar to some heathen god."
"The God of Cookouts," Duo intoned solemnly and then laughed. "We just used a little too much lighter fluid, that's all. It will calm down eventually."
"Like when? I was hoping to eat sometime today."
Duo rolled his eyes at his cousin. "Fine fine, let me go get the sprayer bottle from the kitchen." He bounded towards the house.
Sanzo handed Goku his beer. "I'm thinking we never should've let the two of you near the grill."
"Ah, it's keeping us out of trouble."
Duo reappeared, sprayer bottle in hand, Heero following along. Heero's eyes widened at the sight of the barbeque.
"Uh, I don't think the sprayer bottle is going to work, Duo. A hose maybe, sprayer bottle, no."
"Have a little faith," Duo started squirting the flames. As far as Sanzo could tell, it only seemed to make them angrier.
"I don't think we're going to have dinner anytime soon," he muttered under his breath to Heero.
"Yes we are," Heero whipped a phone out of his pocket. "I have the pizza place on speed dial."
