Spoot: Another mission!
Duo: Whats going on here?
Spoot: Not sure, I wasnt given deets!
The Red Button
Heero sighed, and slapped the mission packet on the table. Two other pilots were sitting at said table. Quatre and Wufei. "Someone has really got some kind of death wish, or something." Heero said, sitting down, he opened the packet, and slid it across the table. The two boys looked it over, then simultaneously, began to laugh hard. "It's not funny...I feel like shooting something!" Heero snapped. Wufei wiped a giggle tear away, and sighed. "Sounds like you got your work cut out for you!" He cried, then began to laugh again. Quatre clutched his abdomen and laughed harder. "I bet I could throw a rock in this room, and find two better friends..." Heero muttered, getting up, and snatching up his mission, and walking away. Leaving the other two boys to their fit.
"Ok, just put your foot here..." Heero instructed. Relena looked up at him, he was holding on to a cable, attached to a big metal plate. "Foot." Heero instructed. Relena put her foot on the plate. "Now, hold on tight...TIGHT...to this cable, don't let go!" She looked down at her feet, then back at him, "Why?" She asked. Heero sighed, looking right at her. "You'll die." He said simply. "Pay attention, once you're up there, sit, strap in, and wait for my instruction." Relena nodded.
"Are you all strapped in?" Heero's voice could be heard over an intercom. Relena checked the straps. "Yeah." She said.
"Look up, do you see a red switch?" Heero asked. Relena looked up, "Red?" She asked. Heero let out a sigh. "It's the only one there! Do you see it?" He almost hollered. "YEAH!" She yelled. "You don't need to be rude!" Heero let out one more sigh. "Sorry. Flip that switch."
"The red one?
...
"Heero?"
"YES! The red one!"
"Ok, geez!"
From the control panel, Heero could be seen, rubbing his temples.
"Ok, do you see a key pad?" Heero asked. Relena looked around the cockpit. "What's it look like, is it right here, to my left?" She asked, looking at a small keyboard. "That's it, don't touch that, ok. that controls ZERO. Last thing we need is for you to activate that." He said. She laughed. "Ok, so...what about this red button?
"Big?"
"I guess."
"Where's its location?"
"Above the key pad."
"DON'T TOUCH THAT!"
"Why?"
"Self detonate."
"Oh."
Relena put her hands on a lever by her hip. "Ok, now what?" She asked, moving around a bit to get comfy. "Get your fingers positioned properly on the buttons. once that's done, press the one for your middle finger." She did as she was told, pressing with her middle finger. The gundam made a noise. "Ok, now, pull back on that lever! HARD!" She did so, and the gundam pulled out a beam cannon. "GREAT!" Shouted Heero, "You're doing just great. Ok, use your feet now, press them on the pads on the floor board, step, step...we're going to try walking now." Relena looked down, and saw some pads, pressure plates, if you will. She put her foot on one, and held down. One leg went up, and took a step forward. Relena screamed.
"You're ok! walk! use your feet!"
"AHH...like...just walk, and the gundam will too?"
"Yes."
"WOW!"
Heero sighed.
"Ok, are you ready?" Heero asked. Relena was making Wing Zero march in place. "Yeah, I'm ready. Where's the target?" She asked, stopping all motion. "Ok, you see the green yellow knobs?" Heero asked. Relena looked at about everything on the gundam's console. "There's so many buttons!" She squealed. "you're looking for a knob!" Heero shouted. Relena looked up. "I don't see one!" She snapped. "And there you go, being rude again." Heero rolled his eyes. She was sure she saw that, he rolled them. Ok, middle finger, on the button, pull back.
Heero rolled his eyes, then rubbed them. When he looked up, there was a beam cannon pointed right at him. He jumped right out of his chair, and hit the dirt. He covered his head, and curled into a fetal position under the desk. "Hold..on. What am I doing!" He snapped, lifting his head. "I never instructed her in firing that thing..." He stood up, and lifted his arms in the air. "You should learn some manners!" Relena shouted. "you're right. I'm sorry. Don't shoot." He said, in his usual flat tone. "Are you serous! I don't even know how!" She snapped. "It's simple, ring finger, press, and move the lever forward slowly." He said, then made the 'oh shit' face. "What have I done!"
Spoot: yup! you wanted Relena in on it!
Duo: HA! Ok, that was good!
Spoot: Keep them coming!
