I (the author) am experimenting with my powers over the characters

24 Hours by: Neko Mina

Part One: Poker for Pixy Stix

Disclaimer: I don't own GW. You fill in the rest.

Claimer: I DO, however own Neoma, Aristid, Alix, Minerva, and Tetsu. They are MY little people and you CANNOT have them!

I (the author) am experimenting with my powers over the characters. *cackle cackle* I've locked my girl characters in a room with each the gundam pilots for a day(if they can last that long)! I'm monitoring their behavior. Hee hee! This shouldn't fail to be insane, violent, and utterly STUPID!

Enjoy!

Note: All words between these thingies are thoughts. And all words between ::these thingies:: are my words or thoughts from the observation room.

10:00 am

My victims slowly entered the large room, which resembled both a Skinner box and a living room. Heero, of course was there first, (right on time--to the second!) since I had explained to him that it was his "mission" and that Relena wouldn't be able to botch it up. Duo, Minerva, Quatre, Trowa, and Tetsu entered in a relatively orderly fashion, save the quiet, mild curses. "I don't want to go in there! Leave me alone!" Came a voice.

"Put me down, you idiot!" Came another. Loud cursing and my direction accompanied these words. "Just put 'em in there, Sergei." I pointed to the room. Sergei, my "little helper" dropped Wufei and Neoma on the floor fuming. Duo and Tetsu doubled over with laughter at the sight of the two being "escorted" into the room.

Seconds later, Aristid and Alix walked in without even noticing each other's presence. Then they noticed. "They didn't tell me you were coming." Aristid said smugly. "Oh don't get all condescending with me, Carrot Top. You're just mad because you're too plain and ugly for Raine." Alix retorted. Minerva and Neoma exchanged looks. They both grabbed the disputing girls and held them back from each other.

"You better be glad she's holding me back, Aristid!" The five boys stared attentively. Tetsu broke in. "You're both just mad because Raine likes me." Minerva and Neoma let go. The other two girls jumped on the usually quiet Tetsu. "Cat fight! Cat fight!" Duo chanted. Alix, Tetsu, and Aristid turned and jumped on him. The others (and me) laughed our butts off. Sergei handed me a bowl of popcorn. "We shouldn't be fighting at all!" Well we all know who said that. The fighting stopped and they all calmed down (sort of) and sat. Heero, Tetsu, and Duo on the couch, Neoma in an easy chair, Wufei in a smaller chair, Trowa, Quatre, Alix, and Aristid on another couch, and Minerva sitting comfortably on the floor.

10:30 am

::Okay, why don't you tell a little about yourselves?:: I suggested through a mouthful of popcorn.(I'm on a loudspeaker.) Aristid went first. "My name is Aristid Sebella and I spend all my free time, energy, and money being a photographer and photojournalist." Quatre went next. "I'm Quatre, I pilot the gundam called Sandrock and I'm really rich." Then Neoma. "I'm Neoma and I can't tell you what I do or I'll have to kill you all." Question marks appeared above the G-boys' heads. "My name's Minerva and I'm a psychic." "Oooh" was the response from the audience. "Cool! Me too!" Said Quatre. "Oh screw this idea! It's too slow. Neko Mina told us about you anyway." Neoma said.

So...uh...on with the story...

Wufei muttered something. It had to be about women or injustice, but I think it was both. ::What's that Wufei?:: "I don't have to tell you anything, woman." ::Oh, I think you do. I control everything that happens in that room.:: Wufei snorted. "I said that I hate being in this room with all these...these...WOMEN! This is INJUSTICE!"

"Here we go again."

"Shut up, Maxwell!"

"Make me."

"I'll make you shut up alright!"

"Then do it!"

"Both of you shut up! Why am I always stuck with a bunch of IDIOTS?! And guys in particular!" Neoma shouted.

"Because you're a weak stupid woman!"

"I'll show you who's weak and stupid!" Neoma's violet eyes flashed. With lightning. That would've scared any sane person to death, but this is Wufei we're talkin' about.

A group of people came into the observation room for a tour of my little "project". We're walking, we're walking, and we're laughing hysterically as Neoma kicks 17 different varieties of Wufei's ass. ::Oh yeah, I'm enjoying this...:: Junior Mint, anyone? Some popcorn, perhaps?

11:03 am

Neo was too fast for Wufei. She was also a little taller. Wufei just kinda sat there scowling with a scratch on his chin. Minerva smirked at him. Heh. Serves you right. You shouldn't mess with Neoma. She's crazy. Neoma had beaten a grown man down with a carton of orange juice once. There was an odd silence. "I can't stand this anymore! It's too quiet! Why don't we actually talk to each other?" Aristid said. "Why don't you fill us in on why you were fighting with Tetsu and Alix?" Quatre asked. "Well," Alix started, "I have a crush on this guy named Raine and..."

"What kind of man has a name like Raine?!"

"Shut up Wufei! Anyway, he left my school and then Aristid started stalking him..."

"You stalked him first." Neoma said, interrupting.

"Ahem. So she started stalking him and then Tetsu started buttering him up--"

"So I built him a hoverpad. That's not buttering him up. Can't I do anything nice for him?"

"NO!" That was the reply from the two jealous girls.

Neoma broke in. "He's my roommate. But I'm not in this love triangle from hell. I just live with him."

::Oooh, someone looks envious!::

"Stay out of this!"

::Oi! Don't get all touchy with the author! I created you!::

"But you didn't create us!" Duo said.

::No, but I control you as of now. Now stop talking to me. You're wasting memory!::

"Hey, I've got some cards. Why don't we play a game?" Duo suggested.

Tetsu wanted to play poker. The idea was suitable to everyone but Quatre, not wanting to gamble. No one had any money on them. (I "borrowed" it.) Alix had some M&M's and Quatre had an economy size pack of Pixy Stix. "I'll play." Minerva said. At that, Neoma, Tetsu, and Aristid dropped out of the game. "She always wins..." Aristid pouted. "I can take her!" ::Yeah right, Duo.::

11:55 am

They were nearing the end of the game. Minerva had claimed about half of the candy. Even Trowa's perfect poker face couldn't help him. "Garbage." he said, laying down a two, a five, a ten, a queen of hearts, and a four. "Heh heh. Three of a kind." Duo said beaming. They looked at Heero. "Two of a kind." Nothing to scream about. Alix also had nothing useful. Wufei put down another three of a kind. All eyes on Minerva. "Royal flush! Ha ha!" She looked at the candy and the pile inched toward her. Wufei exploded. "I...HATE you, woman!"

"I hate you too, Wufei." Minerva said letting the Pixy Stix sugar drain very slowly into her throat. Everyone except Aristid, Tetsu, and Neoma wanted to know how she did it. "Mental telepathy. I've been listening to your thoughts for the past two hours." "So...do you *gulp* know?" Heero asked timidly.

"Yep." *snicker*

"Know what?" Duo asked.

::Yeah, know what?::

Announcer guy: What is Heero's big secret?? Read the next part entitled...THE GAME CALLED DISH.

Okay, please review this. I wanna know if it was worth the time I took writing it. Should I upload the next part? I'll see about that.
