Author's Notes: Don't you hate those short little bits
of fics that just float through your mind, but they
aren't long enough to stretch into a full-length fic?
Well, I decided just to write a few MORE of mine down,
and this is what I got. Pretty stupid, ne? Anyway,
enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. Had you fooled,
though, didn't I?
SHORT #1: Heero's Revenge
"So Heero, buddy, whatcha doin'?" Duo said, bounding
into the dorm room as he returned from a mission.
"There musta been fifty Aries suits at that base! But
they couldn't stand against Shinigami, nosirrreeee! It
was almost hard! You shoulda seen this one trick I did
when there was two of 'em comin' at me - "
Heero's shoulders tensed as he typed on his laptop.
The braided baka rambled on, bandaging a cut on his
arm he'd received in the battle. Kami-sama! Did the
American even realize how annoying he was being? Heero
was incredibly sick of his babbling, though he didn't
let an outward sign of it. The constant chatter was
like having a mosquito buzzing in your ear. But
finally, after several days of putting up with the
incessant droning, Heero had devised a way to silence
his talkative partner.
Very slowly, Heero stretched his arms out at his sides
at shoulder height. Both elbows cracked, the right one
slightly before the left, with satisfying snapping
noises. He heard Duo pause, and smirked. This would be
child's play.
He brought his arms above his head and clasped his
hands together. He cracked ALL of his knuckles loudly,
and Duo broke off completely. Then he reached as high
as he could.
*POP*
The right shoulder...
*POP*
...and the left shoulder.
Duo managed a weak groan. "H-heero... you know how
much that sound grosses me out! It's like when you - "
here he paused to swallow, " - set your own broken
leg."
Heero merely got an evil glint in his eye as he leaned
slowly backwards in the chair, his arms stretching out
to his sides again.
*Crack-crack-crack-crack-crack!*
He sighed slightly as his vertebrae lined up. Duo
flopped onto his bed with a whimper. Heero's evil
smirk increased. Now for the grand finale. He raised
his right hand to his chin. He pushed his head to the
left.
*CRACK-ack!* went his neck vertebrae as they aligned
themselves.
"Ughhh..." came Duo's voice before it faded off into
silence as the boy passed out.
Heero returned to his work, a smug, satisfied
expression playing across his face. Ahhh... Silence at
last!
SHORT #2: Anime Love Cliche Gone Wrong (Part Two)
Heero arrived back at the dorm he and Duo shared (SEE:
Over-used Plot Device No. 386) after successfully
completing yet another mission. His lover sprang
energetically from the bed and bounded into his arms
as he walked briskly to meet him.
"Didja miss me?" Duo purred with a large grin,
wrapping his arms around Heero's waist.
"Hn," Heero replied, returning the gesture by
entwining his own arms around Duo's neck.
For a second they stood frozen, staring into each
other's eyes. Then something floated down in between
their faces. Heero tried to focus on it, but found his
eyes crossing in the process.
"What the - " Duo began, but suddenly broke off as
whatever it was landed on his nose. It burst, sending
a spray of soapy water into the two boys' eyes. "Gah!"
They pulled apart, examining the room around them.
Somehow their dorm had gotten filled with
pink-and-blue bubbles. They watched a particularly
large one came to hover ominously above them. It
started to sink, but exploded before it even touched
them. Heero bore the brunt of it, getting soaked by
bubble fluid.
"Wahahahahaha!" Duo laughed as he took in the Japanese
boy's now-sodden bangs and tank-top. Heero opened
stinging eyes to glare at him. This only increased
Duo's mirth. "Wahahahahah! Heero! You look so funny-
ahahahahahahaha! Hahaha- aha - haha... huh?"
Duo stopped as an even larger bubble, one roughly the
size of a queen-sized bed, wobbled unstably across the
room. It popped, discharging even more soap suds and
water. The smaller bubbles formed by this began
expanding.
"They seem to be reproducing," Heero observed.
"Thanks for the news flash," Duo intoned dryly. "How
do we get rid of them?"
"Umm..."
"That's what I thought."
The air was now so thick with bubbles it was hard to
see anything more than two feet away. Duo decided he'd
better stick close to Heero, and so glomped onto the
unsuspecting pilot. Unfortunately, he was so
unsuspecting that they both fell onto the floor.
"Uff.." said Heero, unlucky enough to be on the bottom
(Not like that you hentais!) and get the wind knocked
from him.
"What are we gonna do?" Duo asked.
"Duo... get... off..." Heero gasped.
"Not likely with all these bubbles around- ...Wait,
you meant... Oh. Sorry, Hee-chan," Duo said, rolling
off of him.
"We should leave before things get worse," Heero said
when he'd gotten his breath back. He tried to stand,
but the floor was now so slick from bubble fluid that
he fell flat on his face. "... All right, that's not
going to work."
"Really? I wouldn't have guessed," Duo replied as more
bubbles burst above them. "So what now?"
"Just follow me," Heero said, laying flat on his
belly. He used his arms to launch himself along the
slippery floor.
*THUD!*
Duo blinked. He hadn't thought spandex could move that
fast. He slid along in a similar fashion, though his
own cotton clothes were considerably slower. He glided
to a stop next to the door where Heero lay sprawled.
"Hey, Hee-chan. You all right?"
"Hnnnn..."
"I'll take that as a yes. Well, I doubt I could turn
the doorknob when everything is coated in this stuff,"
Duo said, squeezing his hair, which made a noise like
"squelch." "Sooo... I guess it's a good thing you're
head broke a big enough hole in the door for us to
crawl through. That's me, always the optimist. You
should try optimism the next time you want to
self-destruct, ne, Heero?"
"Shut up, baka."
SHORT #3: What REALLY Goes on at OZ Headquarters
Wufei fidgeted awkwardly in his "uniform". How Trowa
managed to wear this for so long, he didn't know. And
his ears hurt. But, looking around, he decided he got
one of the better disguises.
Quatre tugged at his costume, trying to make the red
cloth cover more.
"How could they ~wear~ these things?" he demanded
rather crossly. No one blamed him.
"~I~ want to know who's bright idea it was to even
come here," Duo growled from under all the makeup. He
shifted, making a jingling and creaking noise.
"Quit complaining and make sure your wires are
working. Do you even realize how many OZ officials are
here?" Heero responded, though he didn't look any
happier.
"But do you really think if we even ~do~ managed to
get proof that OZ people come to ~this~ sort of - er
- gathering that it'll make a difference in the eyes
of the public? I mean, people aren't as straight-laced
and close-minded as they were when this kind of
~stuff~ began," Wufei added.
"If they thought people would understand, they would
have come out with it in the first place," Trowa told
them. "They know that if this ever got out, they'd be
ruined."
A particularly loud and oddly-dressed group wondered
passed, momentarily stopping all conversation. The
five gundam pilots watched with ill-concealed shock at
their antics, then hastily averted their eyes.
"I see your point," Wufei admitted, and was about to
say more when someone stepped onto the stage at the
other end of the large room. The Chinese boy felt his
jaw drop open in shock.
"Ladies and gentlemen," Treize said calmly, smiling
happily in his odd clothing. "Welcome to the First
Annual OZ Star Trek Convention."
THE END
....or IS it?
It's their fault! ::points accusingly at muses::
Eros and Thalia: Suuure. Blame US for everything!
Psyche: What are you blaming ME for? I'm an angst
muse! I had nothing to do with this fic.
Details, details. Anywho, minna, C&C please. ^_^
