The Never Ending Waltz Between
War and Peace
"DUO MAXWELL! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP EATING THE FOOD WHILE YOU COOK IT!" shouted the owner of Bill's Burgers.
Duo, while trying to hurry and swallow the fry in his mouth, said as innocently as he could, "Eating. No, I wasn't eating. I was just testing the food to see if the taste was just right. You know! The better the food, the more customers we can get. Heee heee."
"Yeah right." the owner said not buying Duo's story. "And my mother is the Queen of England. Duo Maxwell, if I see you take another bite of my food while on the clock, you're fired!"
At the sound of 'fired', Duo's eyes got as big as saucers. If he got fired, the wrath of Hilde would be far worse than the gates of hell. That would be the third time this month.
The first job he had was at the library, which is the one job that Duo Maxwell should never take. The boy wouldn't stop talking. And not only would he not stop talking, he talked loud! Once, a guy interested in the climate of Earth asked where the section of that topic would be. By the end of that conversation, the guy as well as everyone else in the library knew about Duo's great adventures on Earth and everything else firsthand on Earth and its climate. And that was just one of the incidents. Duo was so horrible, until one of the librarians suggested that he look for another job.
The next job Duo came across was that of taking care of animals in the animal shelter. You wouldn't think that this would be a hard task for him, but being the loving character that he is, something went wrong. Duo was the only male working there at the time, and they needed him to walk the big dogs. Once he had the honor of walking a Great Dane named Blake, around the block. At first, everything was pleasant. The cool breeze of the colonies, the warm artificial sunlight beaming on his face, and the musical hum of the city made the day rather peaceful. But all of that walking made Duo hungry, so he stopped to buy a hot dog at a hot dog stand. The dog (which couldn't sit still because the tempting aromas from the frankfurter sizzled through the air and into his nostrils) went temporarily insane. Duo, who was deep in thought at the time, was torn from his thinking pattern as the dog lunged at the cook and knocked over the whole stand. Blake ate all of the frankfurters that came across his dripping tongue, while Duo stood stunned at what just happened. The owner of the stand started yelling at Duo and tried to push the dog away from the frankfurters that fell on the ground. This caused Blake to think of the man as a threat between him and his meal, so he started to bark and try to bite the man. The owner, scared for his life, started running down the street which only enticed the Great Dane to follow him in pursuit. Duo watched all of this in horror and ran after Blake and the owner. The dog chased the man three blocks from the hot dog stand and into a preschool playground. At the sight of a man screaming for his life from a huge angry dog, this caused all of the children to scream and run as well. Blake was furious at this point and started nipping at anyone he came across, even children. By the time Duo showed up, it was total chaos. Kids were running and screaming in horror, parents were trying to protect their children and the owner was howling in the tree like a wailing baby. At this point, Duo grabbed the dog by the leash and tried to calm him down. But it was too late. The cops came and arrested Duo and the dog. When the people at the animal shelter found out about this, Duo was fired.
And now Duo was working at the wonderful privately owned restaurant called Bill's Burgers. Bill, the owner, felt pity for Duo and took him in. Little did he know that he had hired a man eating bottomless pit. Duo was eating more food than he was cooking. A customer complained once because they ordered a large fry, but had only received a handful of fries with their order. Another time, a customer complained that their spaghetti and meatballs meal had no meatballs! All eyes turned to Duo and still he feigned innocence, even though there was a smear of spaghetti sauce across his cheek. Crazy events like this kept happening, but still Duo came up with some lame excuse after another.
As Duo reflected about all the jobs in his past and how much money he needed to take care of this month's bills, he habitually took a fry and nibbled on it. To his disadvantage, the owner caught sight of this and shouted, "DUO! YOU'RE FIRED!"
Duo, just realizing what he had done, dropped the remainder of the fry in shock. How could he do something so careless and stupid? He could just see the angry expression on Hilde's face. At the thought of Hilde, Duo lost all dignity. He fell to his knees and screamed, "NNNNNOOOOOOOOO! PLEASSSSSEEEEEE DON'T FIRE ME! IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! I PROMISE IT WAS! PLEASSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEE FORGIVE ME! IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!"
"Sorry kiddo." The owner began shaking his head, "I can't let you stay here. I gave you too many chances, but you blew them all. You just can't stop eating my food!"
"PLEASSSSEEEEE!" Duo wailed, while holding on to his legs and giving them a slight tug, "GIVE ME ONE MORE CHANCE! WILL YA! WILL YA PLEASSSSEEEEEEEE! I'LL DO ANYTHING!"
"Anything?" The owner asked, smirking.
"YES!" Duo shouted. "ANYTHING!"
"Fine then." The owner said with a smug smile on his face. He stared down at Duo as he said, "You give me a night with that fine girl that lives with you and you can get your job back."
At the sound of that, Duo lost all friendliness in his eyes, and brought back the God of Death. He stared at the owner with a look that could kill and said with all seriousness. "If you even look at her in the wrong way, you will the regret the day you were born."
The owner and Duo were both shocked at his outburst, and he tried to cover it up by saying, "Uh…I mean, she's not that cute. There are other girls out there, you know. I wasn't really threatening you or anything. I was just kidding….you know what I mean….right?"
"Get out of my kitchen! And if I ever see you in here again, I will call the police and arrest you for harassment!"
"You know." Duo began jokingly, "I could get you two to go out for ice cream…."
"DUO MAXWELL! GET OUT!"
And with that, Duo was fired. That was the third job this month that he lost. Hilde was going to kill him.
After gathering the money for his last paycheck, he scrambled out of the restaurant and back to the colony streets.
"Now what?" he muttered to himself.
Duo looked around the city. Everyone looked so happy. Like they belonged somewhere. But where did he belong? Sure he had Hilde and his back up job for delivering spare parts from behind his house. But isn't there more to life?
He thought back to when he was a Gundam pilot. "Even though I hated what I did, I still felt like I belonged somewhere. Like I knew what I was doing. Like I had a purpose in life." he trailed off and then shook his head. "What am I thinking!" he said out loud. "I have a home, a backup job and a wonderful girl that I live with. And I even helped save mankind. Twice! What more could I ask for!"
Back to his usual cheerful and happy nature, Duo made his way to the grocery store. He remembered that Hilde told him to get some milk and eggs on his way home from work. "Work." he thought to himself. "I am so dead."
As he made his way into the grocery store and grabbed a shopping cart, he thought back to his Gundam pilot days again. "You know, it's been four years since I've seen any of them. I wonder how they are all doing? I talk to Quatre at least once a year, he always writes me a letter. But I haven't heard from him this year yet. Trowa is always traveling with the circus. I haven't heard from him in ages! I'm surprised his circus crew has never traveled to this colony yet. Wufei, yeah, I talked to him about a year and a half ago. He seemed to be doing just fine with the Preventers and all. That Sally sure did tame him. And Heero. Well of course, no one had heard or knows the whereabouts of Heero Yuy. Not even Relena. Speaking of her, I wonder how the princess is doing. I haven't seen much of her in the media lately. Hmm?"
After he finished with the groceries, he made his way back to the house. "I really do miss them." he thought to himself. "It's been so long. I wish I could see them again. I wish we all could get together again, like old times. Just hang out or something. Just once."
Finally at his house, he put away those heavy thoughts and thought about the more important matter at hand. Hilde's wrath.Duo was so scared, that he fumbled with the groceries while trying to get the keys in the door. Once the door was finally open, he walked into the living room and smelled Hilde's specialty, Apple Crumb Pie. "Mmmm." he mumbled under his breath, "Sure does smell good. Something special must be going on today."
He could hear her in the kitchen. It sounded as though she was talking to someone. "Duo, is that you?" she yelled from the kitchen.
"Hey babe!" he shouted back, trying to sound as playful as he could, "It's me, your knight in shining armor!"
"Duo!" she shouted and made her way into the living room. When she appeared, she was beaming. It seemed she was more excited than he was. "Duo, guess what? I have a surprise for you!"
Duo, feeling guilty already said, "Yeah. What is it?"
Someone familiar entered into the living room. From shock, Duo almost dropped his groceries. It was Heero Yuy.
Author's Notes: Yeah, so this is my first fan fiction ever. It's funny, because I always hated fan fictions. But one day I stumbled upon a really good one and it inspired me to start writing my own. Besides, since I want to be a writer, this would make for good practice.
I've been reading over the Gundam Wing manga's such as: Ground Zero, Blind Target, and Endless Waltz. It really helps me with their personalities. If you really watch the show and read the manga, you can pick up their snide comments and jokes on the side. Even Heero has a few of his own.
I hope you all like it. And if you see some mistakes, tell me. I need all the help I can get. Just don't be mean about it though. TT
Chao!
