Disclaimer: Gundam's not mine, but I'm writing stories about it anyway! Bwahahahaha! Ahem, and also, don't sue me, because I'm not making any money off of this. Additional Disclaimers are placed at the bottom, so as not to spoil the surprise, if there is any... ^_^
t_j: ^_~ I'm still here, and writing! And during an all-nighter GW marathon, too! And running high off of Sunkist orange soda! ::evil laughter:: Bwahahahahaha! Ahem, go ahead, I'll catch up with you later...

It was evening at the Winner mansion, and the five pilots were taking the night off, enjoying dinner with Noin, Sally, and Catherine. Catherine was serving her own favorite dish, soup, and Sally had prepared several international dishes, to account for each pilot's different tastes.
Out in the living room, the big-screen TV was left on during a local news broadcast, so that the diners could hear while eating. Catherine had disapproved of the idea, but Sally had been insistent on leaving the volume up for her favorite TV show after the broadcast.
"Mmm, this is good soup," Quatre said as he savored Catherine's special soup. "What did you put in this soup, Catherine?"
The circus performer only smiled and replied, "I can't tell; it's a secret, Quatre." She continued to ladle out her special soup to the others, and moved to sit down next to Noin. "My very own secret." The smile grew wider for a second, then returned to its normal width as she tasted her own soup.
"Hey, do you hear that?" Duo cocked his head, listening. "I think there's an important announcement on the TV."
"Hm?" The others listened as an announcer continued.
"...and due to lack of customer response to the product, GenCo has decided to discontinue distribution of one of its products, GenCo SuperHold Hair Gel - "
"Aww, it's just another one of those companies closing down," Duo resumed eating, trying one of Sally's dishes. "Mmmm, hey, Sally, what's in this?"
"Chives and a little bit of garlic. Do you like it?"
" - and has ceased all production of the product - "
A glass hit the floor, followed quickly by the sound of choking.
Heero looked up. "Something the matter, Trowa?"
"He's choking!" Quatre cried, and rushed forward to help, but a sudden howl made him turn around in surprise.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Noin howled, and stood up, knocking away her soup and chair. She rushed out of the room, screaming all the way.
"Eh?" Wufei asked, his spoon halfway in his mouth. "What's wrong with her?"
"Trowa! What's wrong?" Quatre had turned his attention back to the tall pilot, who had straightened, and now wore a determined look on his face.
"I must go. The enemy has made its move." He pushed Quatre out of the way. "Noin has the right idea. I need to buy all the hair gel before they stop selling it altogether!"
Everyone else stared as Trowa sprinted out of the room, screaming after Noin.
"Noin! Wait for meeeee!!"

t_j: ^_^ The big-screen TV had to be there somewhere, and I went through several scenes - Relena and her infamous parties...::shrugs:: oh, well, I hope you enjoyed! ^_^* Yes, I did do several SillyShorts during an all-nighter GW marathon - we got halfway through the series before deciding to call it a, well, morning...
Additional Disclaimers: ^_^* Umm, if there is such a company known as GenCo, I don't own it...nor its discontinued product, GenCo SuperHold Hair Gel. I don't own Sunkist either, for that matter...
