| "The Appointment" by Chibbi-Duo ~Disclaimer~ I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters. But whoever does is really lucky. ^_~ Releena Peacecraft stepped outside her car. She stared at the building before her. She had personally dreaded this day ever since she suggested this little meeting. Quatre Raberba Winner stepped out of the small, pink limo as well and stood next to Releena. "Well, ready to do this?" he asked, uncertainly. Even Quatre had the shivers about this morbid occasion. "Yes," replied Releena "every normal person does this" "Well not every normal person has to deal with those four," Quatre retorted, motioning back towards the car. Releena chuckled, then turned and stuck her head back in to the car. "Let's go guys," she said in an almost motherly tone. Trowa coolly stepped out of the car, followed by Heero. However, Duo and Wufei remained in the car. "Come ON you guys," she said. "NO WAY AM I DOING THIS!!!" replied Duo. He had been shaking the whole ride there, and was now clutching on to the seat for dear life. "I don't need this, woman," Wufei said stubbornly "I take plenty good care of myself." This argument continued on until Trowa leaped on to Wufei and dragged him out of the car. Heero had a little more trouble handling Duo, with all the kicking and screaming. "NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" screamed Duo at the top of his lungs. "Stop acting like a 5-year-old, Duo!" scolded Quatre over the screaming. "Ohhhhhhh, so the mighty Shinigami is scared of little old this?" said Wufei, teasing. For a minute, Duo stopped screaming and looked at Wufei, then wriggled out of Heero's grasp and continued walking with them to the building. There was no way he was going to let this scare him. "To think after fighting a war up front with mobile suits, and you're scared of this!" said Releena, ever-so-slightly teasing Duo. There is no way I'm gonna let this scare me, thought Duo as they continued through the parking lot. My pride would never take it. Still, if I could just make it over to that fence, hop it, and run like hell, maybe I could........ *SLAP* "OWWWW! Trowa! What was that for?!" yelled Duo, rubbing the spot on the back of his head. "I know you were plotting something evil," replied the always monotonous Trowa. "Such babies........" trailed off Releena. She thought, What is so bad about this? After all, it was only........ ~*The Dentist's Office*~ The five walked through the hallway of the office building. Naturally, Releena had booked the finest dentist in the tri-county area. She knew that the pilots didn't have the best hygiene, but all of them could at least stand one checkup. Trowa and Quatre were strolling down the hall, Trowa just plodding and Quatre almost skipping without a care in the world. She didn't have to worry about those two too much, it was the other three she was worried about. She glanced sideways at Wufei. The Chinese pilot had a scowl on his face and his arms crossed in front of him. Well, at least he's in one of his better moods thought Releena. Duo looked like a scared little kitten. He was chewing on his nails, darting his eyes around, and looked like he might make a run for it at any second. Heero, however, was just walking down the hall, eyes in front of him. Releena was just worried he might kill the doctor if he did something Heero didn't like. Heero was just like that. She opened the door and all six stepped in to the waiting room. She went to check in with the receptionist, and all five sat down on the chairs. Heero took out a knife and began to sharpen it. Wufei sat down in a chair and pouted. How did this woman drag me in to this, he thought. I brush my teeth three times a day! I don't need some fancy doctor to tell me my teeth are perfect! Even that idiot Maxwell could tell me that, if he even knows what teeth are. Trowa and Quatre situated themselves in their own seats. Trowa picked up a magazine and began to flip through it. Quatre wondered if Trowa knew he was reading a bridal magazine. Oh well, maybe he'll figure it out in a few minutes, vaguely thought Quatre. Duo's condition wasn't improving. He took a seat next to Wufei and was still nervously glancing around the room. He continued this until he spotted the young receptionist. "Heeeellooooooo there hot stuff," he said under his breath. He started to get up, when Wufei grabbed a pressure point in his neck and pulled him back down to his seat. "Don't let your libido control your common sense!" he hissed at Duo through gritted teeth. "I was just getting up for a pencil," said Duo "besides, it wouldn't hurt you to get a girlfriend, I mean, for God sakes, you're in love with your Gundam!" Releena sat down in her own seat (next to Heero, of course), and began to scold him about taking out knives in public, especially sharpening them. To Quatre's amusement (and horror), Trowa was actually reading an article in the bridal magazine he had picked up. "BARTON, TROWA," said the receptionist. Trowa stood up and a female doctor came through the door into the waiting room. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!"," yelled Wufei "YOU NEVER TOLD ME THE DOCTOR WAS A (ugh) WOMAN!" He ran towards the door, but Trowa leaped over and tackled him. "Can I uhhhhh speak to you for a minute doctor?" asked Releena nervously. She and the doctor walked in to the next room, while Trowa and Wufei were wrestling on the floor. Quatre stood up and began lecturing them on proper behavior, Duo stood up and yelled "ALRIGHT!!! GET READY FOR SHINIGAMI 3:16!!!!!" He also jumped in to the fray. Heero just viewed the scene, quite pleased. Trowa and Duo eventually got the better of Wufei, and sat him right back down in his seat. He struggled for a minute, but then calmed down and parked himself. "Okay Trowa, I'll see you now," replied the doctor, returning to the room followed by Releena. Releena took her seat and began planning a strategy. Okay, she thought, first, I'll set up Trowa and Heero outside the doors, then I'll get Quatre to hold him down.......ugh, I knew this would be irritating she thought as she reached for the ever-present bottle of aspirin in her purse. Who knew it would take so much time just to plan the checkups of Duo and Wufei. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All was quiet for the next 10 minutes. Quatre was just wondering what was so dammed interesting in a bridal magazine. Duo was twitching a lot, but soon found amusement seeing how far he could get a pencil in Wufei's ear before he struggled. Soon, Trowa and the doctor emerged. Trowa was just silent (what a shocker). "Trowa has a cavity," announced the doctor, followed by whoops of laughter from Duo's direction. "OH SO MR. NO-TALK ISN'T SO PERFECT!" yelled Duo, and continued laughing hysterically until Wufei grabbed his infamous yard-long braid and wrapped it around his neck (several times). Trowa was blushing. And the doctor was breaking the news to Releena like she would telling a mother her child had a cavity. Pretty soon, everyone calmed down and Wufei was called in to the office. Uh oh, thought Releena. "Too much popcorn," Trowa replied before sitting down again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After a few moments, which seemed like hours to Releena, some shouts were heard. "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!?!?!?!?" "KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME!!!" "I DON'T NEED THIS!" Releena sighed and swallowed some more aspirin. Leave it to Wufei (and Duo) to embarrass her in a place like the dentists office. The yells of protest continued until Releena decided it would be cruel to let the doctor handle it on her own. So she motioned towards Heero and Trowa, who both rose. The scene they found before them was actually quite funny. Two male doctors were restraining Wufei's arms down, while the female doctor was apparently trying to wash something out of Wufei's mouth. "*glub**glub* GET *squirt* OFF OF.........ME!!!!!!!..................." screamed Wufei. "Man, this is one pissed off Chinese guy!" said one of the doctors holding him down. Trowa leapt on to Wufei's knees and Heero assisted the doctor in holding Wufei's mouth open. Wufei struggled, but eventually stood still while the doctor finished her work. After she was done, Heero, Trowa, and a very wet and unhappy Wufei returned to the Waiting Room. All three took their seats. "Wufei's teeth are in fine condition," replied the doctor, looking quite unhappy. "YOU RESTRAIN AND HARASS ME FOR ALL THAT TIME JUST TO TELL ME SOMETHING I ALREADY KNOW!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!" screamed the Chinese young pilot. "Hey Wu-man, you're turning red.......," began Duo, but trailed off. "WUFEI," started Releena, sounding like a mother "perhaps you'd like to wait in the car." Wufei opened the door and stormed down the hall in a huff. "MAN, that guy needs a girlfriend!" mused Duo. "MAXWELL, DUO," yelled the receptionist. "Um, perhaps Duo should go last, after Wufei's little episode," said Releena nervously "I'll go in his place." So Releena followed the doctor in to the back. The boys just sat in the waiting room for a few minutes. Trowa began reading again. Quatre took out a deck of cards and began shuffling them. "Okay, who's in?" he said. Everyone just stared at him. ".............................................." "What? I can't play cards?" said Quatre, with a little question mark floating above his head. "Lil innocent Quatre playing cards?" said Trowa chuckling. "Okay Mr. Winner, what's your game?" said Duo, leaning forward to the coffee table Quatre set up on. "Heero?" said Quatre cheerfully "I only gamble with my life, not my money," said Heero. "Well, that's better then his usual 'Omae no korosu'" snorted Duo. "How about blackjack?" suggested Trowa. "No! Strip Poker!" said Duo, glancing over at the cute receptionist. "NO GAMBLING!!!!" yelled Quatre, turning many heads "let's just play Uno" he said, calming down and pulling another deck out of his pocket. All the players groaned. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ So after a few "exciting" games of Uno, Releena emerged from the back. "So what's the news?" asked Duo, leaning back and putting his hands behind his head. "Perfectionist in everything," replied Releena, smiling and flashing one of her rare peace signs. "Next up, YUY, HEERO," said the receptionist. Heero calmly stood up in one flowing movement, and began to follow the doctor in to the back. "Wait Heero, before you go, let me just say: It is your MISSION to get treated," said Releena. Heero frowned. Is she making fun of me, he thought as he followed the doctor. Releena broke out in to a sweat. He'd probably pull a gun on anyone who dares get into his mouth. She began to twist her handkerchief around in her hand. She was really worried about what Heero would do. But after just 5 minutes of not hearing anything, she decided to go investigate. Fearing the worse, she began to jog down the hall to the room where Heero was being treated. Maybe he killed them all and ran off, maybe he thinks they know to much, so he killed himself, maybe............the thoughts trailed on and on. She pulled open the door, scared of what awaited her inside, and breathed a small sigh of relief. Nothing, just Heero sitting in the chair letting the doctors treat him. Feeling a little foolish, Releena closed the door and started toward the waiting room again. I guess he's used to having a bunch of doctors treating him, she thought. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All went fine with Heero's checkup. No problems at all. Everything... just� average. Quatre had to pause his "addictive" card game with Duo and Heero to go to his checkup. He was lead in to the back room by the doctor. Releena didn't worry about mild-mannered Quatre too much, still, it was not wise to leave any Gundam pilot alone for too long.............. "Please have a seat, Mr. Winner. I'll be with you in a minute," said the doctor coolly, as Quatre sat down in the large, plush chair. Quatre looked around the room. Lot's of big tools. Shiny tools. Sharp tools. He began to sweat. No way, he thought, I'm the head of the Winner family fortune, there's no way I'm scared of the dentist. "Okay Mr. Winner, I'm going to start by cleaning your teeth." "WITH WHAT?" cried Quatre, a little loudly. "Just with the polish and brush!" said the doctor, a little surprised. "IT'S GONNA HURT!!!! I'M SCARED!" he screamed, beginning to cry. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A few minutes past, Releena was trying to ignore Quatre's screams. I'm not gonna go check on him, she thought, holding her posture. Heero was fine, and I don't wanna make and idiot of myself again. After a few silent minutes, she suddenly bolted out of the room, in to the hall where Quatre had gone in to. "That's it, I'm looking at his cards," said an impatient Duo. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Releena had to try hard not to burst out laughing at the sight that awaited her. Quatre was sitting in the chair, curled up in to a little ball, with tear stained cheeks. The doctor was sitting by Quatre's side, holding up little puppets. "And then the doctor just cleans little Billy's teeth like thiiiiiiiiiiiiis, and he holds still like thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis," said the doctor, animating the sequence with the puppets. Releena coughed slightly, the doctor turned to her and blushed slightly. "We always keep them around for the little kids," explained the doctor, referring to the puppets. Quatre just smiled cutely. So Quatre got through his entire checkup without much more squirming, as long as Releena was holding his hand. After they were done Quatre asked "Did the Big Bad Cavity Monster get my teeth?" asked Quatre. "Not this time Quatre, but use Super Brush Man to keep the monster away," said the doctor, smiling like she was talking to a 5-year-old. The doctor, Releena, and Quatre continued down the hall. Releena frowned when she remembered that Duo still had to go. They reached the waiting room. "Duo, you're up," said Releena. Duo began shaking uncontrollably. The doctor viewed the scene. "I think I can handle this on alone," she said, motioning for Duo to follow her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After about a half hour, Releena was about to have a nervous breakdown. The doctor has specifically told her to wait. But Duo and the doctor finally emerged. Duo seemed fine. They paid the doctor, scheduled another appointment, and walked back to the parking lot. There, they found a sleeping Wufei. They piled back in and began the trip home. Releena was going mad wondering how Duo got through his appointment. He even seemed calmer than the ride there. He wasn't bouncing off the walls, playing with the AC, or seeing how long he could make fart noises until Heero threatened to kill him in his sleep. "Okay Duo, I don't see any cows flying so how did you make it through that appointment?" said Releena, finally breaking. "What? You don't think the Great Shinigami has the will power to make it through one lil ol dentist appointment?" said Duo, smiling angelically. All the pilots, even Releena and Pagan (tthe driver) shook their heads. Soon they started taking bets on how he got through it. "I say they tied him down." "I say they drugged him." "I say they brought the receptionist back there too." "I say they brought out the puppets." Soon Duo started pouting. No one thinks I have enough guts to go through a dentist's appointment, he thought. Well next time I'll show em. I'll go through the whole appointment, without the laughing gas. ~*The End*~ I hope you liked reading it as much as I liked writing it ^_^! Send questions or comments to [email protected].
