Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing and I am not earning a profit from this fan fiction. However, any other original characters are my own creation. This is my first drabble series. I just started thinking of awkward situations to unleash on the Gundam pilots and other GW characters. The theme of each drabble will vary. There is no specified genre for the series so expect anything.
"Oddities"
By: Inazuma Akai
Scenario One
"Quatre's Biggest Fan"
"AHHHH!" A piercing scream broke the relative quiet of the Winner estate.
Duo, Heero, and Relena shot up from their respective seats in the living room where they were watching Quatre's huge plasma television that just so happened to occupy an entire wall. The occupants peered across the living room into the kitchen. Heero immediately began to berate himself for letting Relena drag him to Quatre's home in the first place. As soon as Quatre invited Relena, the young politician knew Heero had no choice but to tag along, unwilling to let her go anywhere alone. Duo, of course, had invited himself to which Quatre had no outward objections. Now, the three of them were on edge, wondering why their host had decided to scream at the top of his lungs. It didn't sound urgent. It sounded more like he had been surprised.
"Maybe he saw a spider…" Duo snickered.
"The Winners have an exterminator who stops by twice a week…" Heero supplied.
Duo rolled his eyes, "Figures…" Then he realized something. "How the heck do you know that?"
Heero remained silent, opting to investigate the noise instead. He reached for his gun.
Relena's eyes widened. "No guns in the house, Heero." Restraining a sigh, he folded his arms and sat back down.
Offering an approving smile to her bodyguard, Relena called out to Quatre, "Are you all right in there?"
There was a pause before he answered. "I'm fine. I just had a scare, that's all." He entered the room, worriedly wringing his hands together.
"Well, what happened?" Duo asked impatiently.
"Ummm, well…" Quatre blushed. "Dorothy's been…stalking me…before I would just see her pop up in places like the store or something…but now she's been walking past my house. I just saw her a minute ago on one of the security cameras in the kitchen…"
"That lady needs some serious therapy…" Duo muttered.
"I know a therapist. I have his card in here somewhere." Relena stated, digging around in her purse. All attention turned to her. Heero, in particular, stared at her questioningly. "Relena…"
"Oh, don't you 'Relena' me! They were bound to find out you were seeing one eventually." She replied indignantly.
The ex-Wing Zero pilot stared at her a moment longer before calmly focusing his attention elsewhere. Obviously, he refused to confirm or deny the allegations.
Author's Note: I've only written four of these so I will most likely post one a week. If this series goes well, I will try another. Drabbles aren't exactly my favorite genre but I did want to try it out for readers who aren't interested in lengthy storylines. : )
On another note, I'd love feedback...and constructive criticism...hence 'constructive' criticism...not flames, lol.
And here's the 5-star system for your convenience.
Inazuma Akai's 5 Star Rating System for Fanfiction:
1 star – This fic is unreadable! Get a beta-reader stat!
2 stars – This story needs a face lift in the worst possible way…
3 stars – Not bad, but with a little more effort you can make it a really good fic.
4 stars – There are some minor errors here and there but otherwise it's a very nice fic!
5 stars – It's an exceptional work of art! More, please?
Thank you all for reading!
