A discourse on the love and or hatred of Relena

Chibi-Duo stands in front of a blackboard, graduation cap perched jauntily on his bebraiden head. He looks mildly serious.

Chibi-Duo: Now, I'm sure you all know why you're reading this fanfiction. ::becomes serious:: You have strong feelings about Relena. There is a strange phenomenon considering Relena.

He walks over to a palate, where a board full of papers are. The one upon the palate states "A Discourse on the Phenomenon of Relena"

Chibi-Duo: Ahem… Now, I know that you either love… ::takes down the first board, revealing a picture of Chibi-Relena with a heart around her:: Or hate her.. ::takes the picture down to reveal the same picture of Chibi- Relena, except now she had a red circle with a slash through it around her.:: This is a strange phenomenon, that I felt I must explore. So… We decided to speak with some… ::winks:: real fans.

The stage splits apart to reveal behind him, two opposing ranks. One is Trowa and Zechs with a sign that has the Relena picture with a slash through it, the other is Quatre and Noin with a sign with the Relena picture with the heart around it. The bottom of the screen flashes, in incredibly large block letters "DRAMATIZATION".

Chibi-Duo: Now, please tell me, O extreme Relena fan, why do you like Relena? ::turns mike to Chibi-Quatre::

Chibi-Quatre: Well, I like her because she's pretty and popular and nice, and she always knows what to do.

Chibi-Duo: And you, miss? ::Turns to Chibi-Noin::

Chibi-Noin: I like her because she gets Heero!

Chibi-Duo: Hm.. Valid arguments. Now, what do we have here? Oh, the Anti- Relena camp. ::Turns to Trowa:: Why do you hate Relena.

Chibi-Trowa: ::totally without feeling:: Because she wants Heero, and he's mine, dammit…

Chibi-Duo: Oh.. OK…And you? ::Turns to Chibi-Zechs::

Chibi-Zechs: I hate her because she is annoying, and is such a bleeding heart, and can't take a hint.

Chibi-Duo: Well, those are good arguments, too. But there's one camp that no one remembers at the time that they write angry flames and fanfiction.

Gestures toward a velvet curtain, which parts to reveal Chibi-Heero, and an unidentified girl with long brown hair.

Chibi-Duo: What is your camp? ::turns toward unidentified girl::

Chibi-Author: My camp is the camp of people who want the plot and natural leanings of the characters to be stuck to. We call ourselves the "Oh, come on!" Camp.

Chibi-Duo: "Oh, come on!"?

Chibi-Author: "Oh, come on!". Because… ::steps forward into the light:: I mean, it's good for a character to have faults.. Because, how many of us have friends that we really like who are incredibly annoying? ::raises hand::

Everyone but Duo raises their hands

Chibi-Duo: HEY!

Chibi-Author: And how many of us know someone who can't take a hint? ::raises hand::

Everyone but Zechs raises their hands, especially Noin.

Chibi-Zechs: ::looks around:: HUH?

Chibi-Author: And how many of us are bleeding hearts? ::raises hand::

Noone raises their hands. Then Trowa elbows Quatre, who blinks, and raises his hand.

Chibi-Author: What I'm saying is, don't hate Relena just because you don't like the 'canon' couples.. And don't hate her because you like the couple of Duo and Heero…

Chibi-Duo and Chibi-Heero: WHAT?!?

Chibi-Author: ::pressing on, and ignoring them:: Hate Relena because… Er, wait, no… Don't hate Relena..

All but Chibi-Author: YEAH!

Chibi-Quatre: WE like her..

Chibi-Duo: ::pops up:: The author likes her…

Chibi-Author: ::nods, smiling chibily::

Chibi-Duo: ::dirty look:: I meant the author of the SERIES…

Chibi-Author: ::dejected::

Chibi-Trowa: Countless doujinshi writers… uh… probably hate her.

Chibi-Heero: I…. ::everyone looks at him, and he sours:: am ambivalent about her.

Chibi-Author: Besides, why are you wasting your time loving, and or hating a fictional character? Come out of your basements and attics and various nooks and crannies, and peel your eyes away from the computer! Go out and live!!!!

Chibi-cast of Gundam Wing: ::glares at Chibi-Author::

Chibi-Author: Uh… Um… Forget I said that!

Chibi-Cast of Gundam Wing: ::Leaps at Chibi-Author, creating a dust cloud as they beat the bajeezus out of her.::

The picture fades out to a screen reading "THE END"



Author's note: That was randomly concocted while I was supposed to be thinking about cleaning the kitchen. I did get it done, but later I typed this. Thank you. Please please flame me. I want to be flamed. Do so at DragonGirl17@AOL.com. RIGHT NOW, if you have such a notion. I enjoy laughing like hell over many flamity flames. And for the record, yes, I am of the camp that I mentioned. I extremely dislike the Duo/Heero coupling. I also do not like Quatre and Trowa as a couple too much, though I did write a small number of fics for them. It just came to me, but anyway.
