So here is another story I just thought of. Based off one my favorite episodes Talking Trash. Light Wheeler/Gi teasing to begin then it'll get interesting. I hope you enjoy.
Like I said it's based off Talking Trash. Wheeler finally made his old man into a friend. When his friend is gone can Wheeler handle his emotions or will he lose his planeteer friends as well?
"Hey, what's in the mail Wheeler?" Gi asked as the redhead walked by her reading a letter in one hand.
Without stopping or looking at her he rudely shoved the rest of the mail at her chest. He shoved so hard she lost her balance and fell.
The mail fell on top of her and she gasped in pain as her elbow began to bleed. Her cry managed to catch Wheeler's attention.
"Huh? What?" he said then spotted his friend. "Gi? What happened?" he asked as he helped her stand up.
He was given a fierce glare in response. "Oh nothing, I always fall over when someone hands me the mail" she answered fiercely.
"Huh?" Wheeler said then saw the mail that fell off Gi and got the message.
"Oh! I am sorry Gi, guess I was distracted" he apologized. Gi huffed wanting to stay angry but knew she couldn't.
"It's okay, it's just a small scrape but can you help me bandage it?" she asked and Wheeler nodded.
"Of course Gi, that's what I am here for, to help the pretty damsels in distress" he said and she rolled her eyes.
"Oh yeah, you're a real hero, especially after you cause the distress" she retorted and Wheeler smirked childishly.
"All right, you made your point, I'm sorry" he said. Wheeler bent and quickly gathered up the mail and put it on the table in the common room before getting a first aid kit.
"So what was in the letter?" Gi asked and Wheeler tensed. He started to fumble with the kit as his fingers shook.
Gi went to help but then Wheeler snapped it open and the items bounced out and hit Gi.
"Ow! Okay, I won't ask you any more questions then" she said as a small can bounced off her head.
"Oh my gosh I am sorry Gi!" Wheeler exclaimed. He covered his mouth to suppress a giggle as she scowled at him again.
"Sorry, it's just your cute when your mad" he said. Gi blushed slightly but her embarrassment was quickly gone and overcome by hurt.
"Glad I can amuse you" she said and picked up a bandage and alcohol wipe.
"Don't worry, I can fix it myself now" she added. Wheeler jumped up and grabbed her arm.
"Don't go Gi, please I'm sorry really" he said gently. He gave her puppy dog eyes and she gave in.
"I must be losing my mind" she muttered. "Nah, you just can't resist my charm" Wheeler objected and gave her a smile.
Gi rolled her eyes again. She sat and held out her arm in silence and Wheeler took the band aid in both hands. He fumbled with it and then ended up ripping it.
Angrily he threw it on the floor. Gi shook her head. "Your hopeless" she said and picked up another.
"Your right, maybe you should bandage it yourself" Wheeler murmured.
Wheeler quickly turned his back on her and Gi shrugged. She bandaged her arm and turned to leave when she heard a small sob.
It was very quiet but Wheeler was definitely crying and trying very hard to hide it.
"Wheeler?" Gi called and Wheeler shrugged her hand off. "Go…go away…please" he begged.
Gi shook her head. "Friends don't leave friends when their upset" she said.
Wheeler turned to her. "Really?" he asked.
Gi went to her knees and drew him into a warm hug. "Yes really Wheeler, I know I am risking my life now but do you want to talk about it?" she asked.
"It's….it's my dad….he…he passed away two nights ago…" Wheeler stuttered.
He pulled off Gi and brushed his face with his sleeve. "I…I don't even know why I am crying"
"Well you and your dad made up right? Maybe your just finally having love and compassion for him" Gi suggested.
Wheeler nodded. "I guess…" he answered. "And it's all his fault" he added and clenched a fist.
"Who?" Gi asked just as Kwame walked in.
"Him" Wheeler answered and stared angrily at the African.
"Kwame?"
Kwame looked over at Gi. "Yes?""Yeah Kwame, he's the jerk who ruined my life" Wheeler answered and Kwame turned to him with a confused look.
"I what? Wheeler, what are you saying my friend?"
"Don't my friend me you backstabbing jerk!" Wheeler yelled. He jumped up and grabbed Kwame by his shirt.
"It's all your fault" he yelled. Kwame stared in shock at his angry friend. He looked to Gi who looked just as bewildered.
"Wheeler! Take it easy, your acting really strange and jumping so many emotions I can't keep track" Gi yelled.
Wheeler nodded. "It's all his fault Gi. I'd be fine if I never went home and I only went home cause of his stupid advice" Wheeler yelled.
"Wheeler! What are you doing?" Linka yelled walking in with Ma-Ti.
Wheeler let go of Kwame and turned to leave. He then turned and slugged him in the jaw.
Kwame fell to the floor and groaned in pain.
"Wheeler!" Everyone but Kwame yelled as they knelt to their friend.
Wheeler stared in shock too and then took off running. 'Oh my god, what the hell is happening to me?' he thought.
He ran to his room and threw himself on the bed. A few minutes later a knock came and then the door opened.
"Wheeler? I think we need to talk"
Review and tell me what you think.
Virtual cookie to anyone who can guess who came into Wheeler's room.
