Author's Note: Well, Black Crowe informed me that it was
my responsibility to write the sequel to Elevator. So here goes!
Rating:
PG for mild cursing.
Disclaimer:
I don't own Gundam Wing. The torturing of Relena is done purely for
entertainment purposes, for which I am not receiving profit. But wouldn't that
be a nice little job to have! =)
After
Duo and Heero fled the scene, for reasons they did not wish to disclose to
Wufei, other than it having something to do with an elevator, the Chinese pilot
took it upon himself to finish what they had originally intended. Kill Relena.
"If
you want something done right, you have to do it yourself!" Wufei rolled his
eyes as he loaded the clip into his gun.
The
black haired young man cautiously approached the elevator once he entered
Relena's apartment building. There was
something about it that he didn't quite trust. Wufei shook his head, "Ha!
There's nothing wrong with this contraption. Those heathens just don't know how
to operate one of these things! Of all the injustice! They're allowed to fly
gigantic weapons of mass destruction around the globe, but they can't even
manage to use a simple elevator!"
Wufei
stepped in and pushed the button that he recalled was supposed to be the floor
Relena's room was on. The doors slid
shut and he stood relaxed, fiddling with his gun from time to time as he
awaited his floor selection.
"Oh
no!" Relena cried as she scurried about the room grabbing her briefcase and
some papers, "I can't be late to my next meeting!" [1] Once she felt she had
not forgotten anything, she glanced at the wall clock, ripped her coat off the
nearby chair, and stumbled out the door of her apartment towards the elevators.
At
the same time, Wufei glanced down at his watch. "Dammit!" he shrieked, "She's
probably already left by now! This infernal machine needs to be programmed to
go faster!" Wufei stood within inches of the two doors, anxiously waiting for
them to open. He had his gun prepared and was tapping his foot, which made him
appear oddly enough, like a raptor ready to pounce on its prey.[2]
Just
as the two doors began to slide open, Wufei stuck his foot out and was all set
to make a mad dash when he slammed into something solid. Well, it was kind of
squishy actually, but it had some give to it.
Relena
rounded the corner in time to collide with Wufei as he made his way out of the
elevator. The impact made him lose the
grip on his gun and it flew from his hand.
Relena, as small as she was, was able to knock Wufei back into the
elevator. As the two scrambled to get
up they somehow hit a few of the buttons on the elevator's side panel. One of
which, made the doors close. Relena
turned around in time to see all her papers, including her briefcase, lying
strewn all over the floor.
"Wait!"
she cried as she reached out to grab them, but quickly pulled her hand back
when the doors snapped shut, nearly taking her hand off. She stared at them as
if they had a mind of their own. Now she was really pissed off, she whirled
around to see what imbecile had crashed into her.
"Wufei!?"
she stammered. "Of all the nerve, you little twit!"
"Shut
up woman! You made me lose my gun!" he snorted.
"Well,
we'll just have to go back up there so I can get my papers! I have a very
important meeting to go to you know!" she spat and hit the button that went
back to her floor. "Wait a minute!" she suddenly realized.
"What
now onna?" Wufei asked impatiently.
"Just
what were you planning to do with that gun?" she questioned, eyeing him
tentatively.
When
he wouldn't answer, she hit the emergency stop button, which sent the elevator
to an abrupt halt.
"I
don't have to answer to you wench!" he cried, and hit the button to get them
going again.
"Oh
no," she said wryly, "You will answer my question!" she demanded and hit the
stop button again. This time instead of
stopping immediately, they lurched to a halt. Wufei rebelliously hit the floor
button again, and the two watched as nothing happened.
"What
trickery is this!?" Wufei demanded. "You have bewitched our elevator, you
treacherous jade!"
"I
did nothing of the sort!" she said stamping her foot on the ground. "It was
your bumbling that caused this!"
After
about an hour Wufei was ready to rip the elevator doors open with his teeth.
All Relena kept doing was bubbling on and on about that despicable Heero Yuy
character.
"If
Heero were here, he'd be able to rescue me," she mused with stars in her eyes.
"He really does love me you know, he just doesn't know it yet." she announced.
"But I do." She continued, and her eyes narrowed.
"Will
you shut up already about your stupid wannabe boyfriend!"
"You're
just jealous!" she retorted.
"Jealous!?"
Wufei repeated with venom. "You need to come back down to the real world! He
hates you! He spends his every waking moment plotting ways to kill you!!"
"Ha!
He does too love me. Why else would he think about me all day then, you said so
yourself."
"Errrrr!!"
Wufei's eyes began to spasm and a huge vein began to take shape in the middle
of his forehead. "You schizophrenic freak! Don't you get it! Nevermind!" he
said exasperated and began to rub his temples.
This
must be the ultimate punishment for failing my mission, Wufei thought. The gods
are cruel. They must be women.
At
the same time, Relena had quite a few thoughts of her own. I'd rather be
dragged around by that damn nag again, than be stuck in this elevator another
second with this disreputable sloth![3] If Heero were here, he'd get me out of
this dump.
"Doesn't
anyone around here care to know why this elevator isn't working!?" she said
impatiently. "Don't they know who I am?"
"Yes,
and that's probably why they're taking their sweet time!" Wufei shouted.
"WELL!"
Relena started to add on when Wufei cut her off.
"Yes,
it's a deep subject for shallow minds onna!" he smiled in satisfaction.
Relena
stood there thinking about it and when she finally realized it was an insult
she started to open her mouth again.
"No!
I don't want to hear it!" Wufei said as he clamped his hand over her
mouth. She bit down and he screamed
like a little girl. "I hope you had your rabies shot!" he cried as he rubbed
his sore hand.
"You
know, all you've been doing this whole time is insult me!" she stammered.
"And
all you've been doing is repeatedly ramble on and on about your sick little
fantasy! It's making me sick!" he bellowed.
Then
they both turned their backs to each other and stood pouting.
"You
know," Wufei said after a while, "I could kill you with my bare hands, but just
the idea of touching you makes me nauseous."
Relena's
eyes narrowed into two tiny slits and she was about to retaliate when the
elevator by some magic, hummed to life.
"Finally!"
she sighed.
The
elevator stopped once they hit the basement.
"This
isn't where I want to go," she complained and began to tap the buttons on the
panel, but nothing happened. The two stepped out of the elevator into a rather
dark looking room. Wufei searched
around for a light switch, but could not find one. From the looks of it, he figured they were probably in the boiler
room.
Suddenly,
the elevator doors slid shut. Wufei ran over and hit the button to try and hail
it back, but again it did not respond.
"Dammit!"
he said as he pounded his fist on the wall.
Relena
began to shriek like a banshee and jumped into Wufei's arms, who
unceremoniously dropped her back to the floor. She glared up at him and dusted
herself off.
"What
are you whining about now!?"
"There
are rats in here! Rats I tell you!" she squealed.
Wufei
glanced around to see what looked like a thousand tiny glowing eyes.
"Well,
you should feel right at home." he scoffed
"That's
not funny! I want out of here right now!" she demanded. "Heeerrrroooooo!"
"Don't
start that again!" Wufei yelled as he covered his ears.
He
started to back up because the shrieking became louder and louder. That's when
he bumped into a flight of stairs. Wufei glanced up to see a faint light coming
from underneath a doorway.
"Alright
Relena!" he hollered, "I have an idea!"
The
whining ceased and she looked over towards him. "Really?"
"Yes,
can you see that box over in the corner?"
"Yes,
but barely. I can hardly see you as it
is." She replied.
"Go
sit on that box, so you won't be bothered by the rats."
"Oh,
how thoughtful of you!" she squealed and turned around and headed in the
direction of the box.
While
she was distracted, Wufei rushed up the stairs and slowly began to turn the
knob. It was unlocked! He then ripped the door open and dashed outside,
slamming it shut. Relena whirled around.
"Wufei?"
she was answered by silence. She started to run towards the outline of the
stairs and tripped over something laying in the way. She grunted and pulled
herself up and continued on only to trip and stumble over other various loose
articles.
"Let
me out of here you bastard!" she screamed.
She had finally gotten to the stairs and ran up them and began to pound
on the door.
Wufei
stood outside humming a happy little tune.
He started to place the key he had found back on the hook, but then
clutched it in his palm and turned and walked away. He conveniently found a trash can and deposited the key in it and
laughed maniacally all the way back to the parking lot.
Relena
was angrier than ever and continued to beat her fists on the door when she
realized the squeaking noise was getting louder. She turned around and stood in
horror at the masses of glowing eyes surrounding her. She began to scream like
there was no tomorrow.
The
next day…
Wufei sat down to eat breakfast with the other pilots at
their safehouse. Duo stared at him in
amazement. "You survived that elevator!? For five hours? With Relena!?!?!"
Wufei
only nodded and opened up his newspaper.
"What
happened to Relena?" Heero asked curiously.
Wufei
smiled evilly and handed them the paper.
The
headline read…
RATGIRL
RELENA FOUND LIVING IN BOILER ROOM.
When
the landlord found her she was screaming hysterically and covered in rats. The landlord called local officials and the
rodent-clad diplomat was taken to a local institution for further evaluation. Neighbors say this isn't the first time she
has tried to evade paying for something.
The End.
[1]
This is one of my favorite quotes in the story. Couldn't you see her
"scurrying" around, you know, like the rat that she is. lol.
[2]
Reference to the raptors from Jurassic Park.
[3]
Reference to Black Crowe's story, Pretty Hate Machine.
Northstar:
Well, what do you think? Was it a fitting ending? I hope this pleases you Black
Crowe.
