A/N: This is a 195 word fic challenge, which means it's a ficlet containing only 195 words (excluding the title! ^_^) I re-watched the series again yesterday, and saw definite sparks between Sally and Noin in the window rescue scene (thanks to Rachel for pointing that out to me!) Also, I HATE Noin's cowgirl outfit, there HAS to be a good reason for that! Her romantic counterparts are Zechs (het), Sally (yuri) and Quatre (pilot), how could her taste suddenly turn bad? It just doesn't make sense!
So, here's my thoughts on the subject, in 195 words only. Enjoy and review! ^_^ Akai.
HOW NOIN GOT HER COWGIRL OUTFIT
"A cowgirl outfit?" Noin exclaimed, gazing at the repulsive thing. Horrified and bemused, she looked into her companion's laughing blue eyes. "Sally, how is this going to help?"
Sally perched on the windowsill, smiling at her new friend. "It's a game. When you gather all five gundam pilots together, you win. When you win, you can take it off, but not before."
Noin choked. "What?!"
The blonde smiled sweetly. "It's simple, Noin. Wear this outfit and only this outfit until all five pilots fight for our cause." She swung her legs over the side. "It's an incentive, a reminder. Think of it as a big post-it note."
"Frankly, I'd rather wear a big post-it note!" Noin burst out.
Sally laughed. "Oh, come on Noin! Do it for your country. "
Eventually, Noin gave up glaring and sighed. "Fine, I'll wear the stupid thing."
Sally beamed in satisfaction.
Noin looked up sharply. "Hang on," she said suspiciously. "What if I win?"
Sally smiled demurely. "If you win," she said softly, "I'll take it off you myself."
While Noin was still speechless, Sally leapt down from the windowsill into her waiting truck, waved cheerily and drove away.
