For lavendarlizard: Heero/Duo and a remote control frog *grin* I don't think I did this prompt justice....
Halloween Drabble 22
Froggy's Halloween
"What is that?" Heero stopped dead in the door of the garage and blinked. Duo always did some weird things this time of year but this one was just bizarre. What the hell was it?
"It's for Halloween. You know we always decorate the house for Halloween." Duo looked at him reproachfully from where he was fiddling with the fog machine.
"Yeah with ghosts and skeletons, not whateverthehell that is."
"It's a frog."
Heero blinked again. It was? "Frogs don't get that big."
"They might." Duo retorted.
"What do frogs have to do with Halloween? Is there some mutant frog movie you haven't made me watch?"
Duo rolled his eyes. "Please, frogs have a long history of hanging out with witches."
"That's toads."
"Same thing."
Heero considered enlightening Duo on the differences between frogs and toads for a brief moment, but then reconsidered. Sometimes you had to pick your arguments. "So are you going to dress as a witch and hang out with it?" Now that might be fun to watch.
"Of course not. Kermit is scary all on his own."
Heero choked. "Kermit?"
"What else would you name a frog?"
"Good point- but Kermit doesn't sound scary." Heero wondered what kind of name would sound scary for a frog.
Duo moved away from the fog machine to pat the frog's head. "I made some modifications to it. Trust me, Kermit is very scary."
Heero felt cold sweat trickle down his spine. A few things scared him and Duo's modifications were top on the list.
"You didn't!" Heero covered his eyes. "Please tell me you didn't do something horrible to that poor statue."
"My modifications are not horrible!"
"Right. Tell that to our dishwasher." Heero still shivered just thinking about it.
"I miscalculated that one time! Trust me! Kermit is going to be the best thing in the neighborhood tonight."
"I'm scared to ask how."
"Just watch." Duo stepped away from the large metal frog statue and picked up a remote control device.
The frog moved suddenly, spinning in a drunken circle, and Heero leaped back as it headed his way. Right as it reached the doorway, a bone vibrating 'ribbit' echoed from it's gaping mouth.
Heero had to admit that if something like this came lurching out of the fog at him- he'd run.
"What do you think?" Duo called over the hum of the machinery.
"I think you'll scare the neighborhood kids into fits." Heero answered and Duo beamed.
"Terrific! It's almost dark- I'll go put Kermit out on the front patio. With the fog machine and all, he should be the talk of the neighborhood."
That's what Heero was afraid of- but Duo was so excited... what was a good boyfriend to do?
Sighing, Heero headed into the house to turn on the answering machine. He knew they were going to get a lot of calls tonight....
