Outside the filming sight for "Gundam Wing"
" Err….. Do you really think this will work?" Loonquil mutters nervously as he and Shi-sama stand in front of a door marked " Authorized personal only" in bold black letters. "Yeah, of course it will! I don't think, I know ! " She grins in triumph. " I don't think you know either." Loonquil mutters under his breath, unfortunately her hearing chose that moment to kick into hyperdrive. " What?" Her eyes glint angrily as she clenches her fist, so hard it breaks her pencil, thoughts of grabbing one of the movie cameras nearby and beating Loonquil with it flitted past her thought field. Loonquil, picking up her evil thoughts, quickly tried to make amends to no avail. " Eh heheheheheh" He laughed sweatdropping nervously. " Besides our disguises are PERFECT! I even got a hat" Shi-sama was referring to the trenchcoat, bottlecoke glasses and pen and pad reporter look. Loonquil thought she went a bit overboard with the cockeyed hat with the huge "PRESS" card stuck in it, ok maybe WAY overboard. " I still don't think it will work." He said in exasperation as she sauntered up to the door. " Whatever." She said flippantly, and knocked swiftly on the door.
" See!" She said excitedly, as the door unlocked. " UH I dunno Shi…." Loonquil muttered staring at the person who answered the door. " Huh?…. " She turned abruptly and ran into possibly the biggest guy she had ever seen. Her stared down at her from his immense height, his eyes hidden by a pair of pitch black sunglasses. " I'm sorry there is no press in here at this time, ya gotta wait out front." He said in a deep masculine voice. "yea. Heheheh, right. Were leaving" Shi says weakly, her eye twitching nervously, Grabbing Loonquil she calmly walks around the corner, as soon as he is out of sight she faints.
10 minutes later
" Er.. Shi.. wake up." Loonquil bent over his comrade, shaking her. Her eyes fluttered open, and she stared at him. Suddenly she bolted up " Stop shaking me dammit. I was awake!" She yelled, pushing him away. Peeking around the corner she saw the security guard standing his duty. " Erg. Feh. Pliff" She proceeded to make several contemptuous sounds with her lips. " Dang, We haffta get by HIM." she muttered in disgust. "Aw. Come on, lets go home and watch it on TV, this isn't worth the trouble." Loonquil muttered standing up to walk away. "NO I wanna do this!! And we're doin' it together, got it!?" She yells grabbing him and shaking him by his shirt. " Jeez ok don't have fit.." Loonquil protests putting his hands up in surrender. " I'M NOT HAVIN' A FIiiiittt……" She suddenly smiled, a lightbulb going on over her head. Uh oh Loonquil thought in horror, when she got Ideas, bad things usually followed. " Come on.. just follow my lead 'k?" It was more of a command then a question, Loon really had no choice, so he obediently followed her.
As they walked towards the building ( by the way, they ditched the costumes) Shi suddenly grabbed her chest and fell screaming to the ground. From there she proceeded to go into a very convincing epileptic fit. Loon, having no idea she was going to do this, just stood there. " Hey idiot, a little help?" Shi hisses, breaking Loon from his trance." oh yeah." He muttered. Then in a picture of true angst and fear, he flung his arms in the air, and started to scream " OH MY GAWD SHE'S HAVING A FIT!!! SOMEONE HELP!! IT MUST BE SUN STROKE I GOTTA GET HER INSIDE!!!" Luckily the guard proved more brawn then brains and proceeded to do the worst possible thing to do to a person having a fit, moving her, or in this case flinging her over his shoulder. Loonquil followed him inside. As soon as the guard put Shi down she took off running, draggin' Loonquil behind her, leaving the red faced guard behind. " Over here!" she said tearing around a corner and flinging open a door.
Inside much to their bad luck, was a bunch of burly guards, eating donuts and watching a movie they probably shouldn't have been watching. "Er…" Both authors muttered
" Wrong room" and turned to walk out the door. About a second or two later, as they calmly walked away, a angry shout was heard behind them " HEY WAIT A MINUTE YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!" " RUN!!!!" she yelled grabbing Loon and dashing around the corner, right into a an unmoving object that proved to be the security guard. He picked them up by their necks and smiled sadistically, seeming to have fun seeing how many shades they would turn as he squeezed. Moments later, they found them selves literally thrown outside, Loon landing first, and thus dampening Shi's descent by providing himself as a pillow.
Dazed she shook her head and glanced down a Loon who was turning pink. " Oh thank you for saving me. How considerate." She smiled, patting his head like he was a faithful dog. " No….problem…but….could…you… get…off?" He managed to gasp out. " Are you trying to call me fat? " she demanded in anger. "No ..Sitting …on …lungs …can't…breath.." Loon gasped, turning a darker red. " I can't believe you called me fat!!!" She yelled arms crossed, totally ignoring his pleas for air. Glancing down she smiled in appreciation for the rich plum color his face was turning, and beginning to wonder if she should see how many colors he would turn or get off. Well better go with the latter, I just CAN'T kill off my co-author, who helps me write these great stories… But as that thought dawned on her, she thought a little harder about it Then again…Nah I don't want his blood on me.
"Look, you called me fat, and don't try to deny it, so say you're sorry, and please, and I may get off." She said smiling sweetly. " Sorry…Please" He gagged. " What ? I can't hear you!!" " SORRY….PLEASE!" He managed to yell. " Oh, apology accepted, Now what do you say?" She smiled moving enough to allow some air, turning him several shades lighter. " I…said Please… Already" He gagged, trying to breath. " With what on top?" Shi teased. Loon had had enough " WITH LOTS OF FREAKIN' SUGER AND A DAMNED CHERRY ON TOP OKAY!!!" He screamed. " My my, aren't we in a bad mood, if that's the way you're gonna be I'll move" she said feigning hurt and moved off of him, he gasped, the spots in front of his eyes disappearing, as his life no longer flashed in front of him.
5 minutes later.
Shi was pacing up and down in thought, trying to come up with a way to get by the guard. Suddenly two voices emerged followed by their owners. The man and woman were wearing brightly colored jackets with the words "Make-up crew" printed on them.
" We're in luck, they're just our size!!" Shi laughs pointing to them. " Oh. No. You are NOT getting me to wear that." Loonquil refused pointing at the male's outfit. It consisted of a neon green beret, a hot pink silk shirt, green pants and a yellow and white polka dotted scarf. " Aw. Come on don't you want to sacrifice yourself for your art?" Shi said laughing. " Myself, yes, my manhood, no." Loon said shaking his head. " What do ya mean 'your manhood'?" Shi asked confused. " Um.. Can't you tell he's a wee bit HAPPY!!" Loon yelled in her ear. " Yeah so, just smile a lot." Shi said confused and not quite getting what he was saying (slow reaction time) Loonquil sighed and smacked himself in the head in exasperation. " What's wrong with being happy? Come on, we don't have all day." She said, preparing to ambush her victims. " Why me?" Loonquil moaned.
As the two makeup artists drew near, a couple pairs of arms reached out and grabbed them. After a few muffled yells and lots of struggle, Loon and Shi emerged dressed as the artists. Loon wore the aforementioned clothing, Shi wore a black oversized sweater that served as a dress, red tights and knee high black boots. " Alrighty then. Let's go. Remember I'll buy you two 2-liter bottles of Mountain Dew when we're done. K" Shi said grabbing Loons arm and hauling him to the guard. " Identification, please." The guard ordered. They handed over their cards, and he looked at them comparing the two to the pictures. " Uh.. this say's your supposed to be 5' 11", you aren't that tall." The guard pointed out to Loonquil. " Uh I was….. standing on my…. Tippy toes, yeah that's it!!" Loon laughed nervously. "hmm" The guard murmured, finally after what seemed like hours, he nodded. " Oh ok, but are you sure I haven't seen you before?" He asked. Loon looked at Shi, Shi looked at him and they turned back and shook their heads. " Nope, not at all, never seen us before." They said. "Oh ok then you can go.." He said moving so they could get through. Home free Shi thought, but was stopped short by the guards yell. " HEY WAIT. I DO KNOW YOU!!, YOU'RE THOSE TWO…" Shi decided to take drastic actions and did the first thing that came to her mind. Waving her hands wildly in the air, she screamed with glee "OH MY GAWD LOOK!! IT'S JUDY GARLAND!!!!"
The guard whipped around "WHAT!? WHERE?!" He yelled. " There, she was turning the corner, ya better hurry before you miss her!!" Shi yelled pointing down the street. The guard took off running, holding a pen and paper and yelling " OH Miss Garland!!! Can I have your autograph!?!?!" . They watched as he veered around the corner still yelling.
" Um… Pardon me for asking, but...Er…Isn't she dead?" Loonquil asked turning to a very smug Shi-sama. " No. Really?" She asked, feigning surprised, " I just saw her yesterday getting gas with Elvis, and she looked so…alive!" She broke out in laughter as they made their way to the dressing rooms. " You are sooo mean." Loonquil said. " Me? Mean? How ever did think of that?" She laughed placing her hand on her chest and acting horrified. Loon mumbled something under his breath and started to go into the guys dressing room. " Oh!! Loon, don't forget to smile, gotta be happy you know!!" She laughed back at him. Loon smiled a really patronizing and sarcastic smile and flashed her the thumbs up, before turning to go inside. This better be worth it, I don't get paid enough as it is He muttered, rolling his eyes as he slammed the door behind him.
And so the gates of Hell were opened….
______________________________________________________________________
Shi-sama's interview.
Shi-sama took a deep breath and flung open the dressing room door, burying her hands on her hips as if to say " I'm the Queen, you maggots will bow down and worship me!" she glared down at everyone in the small dingy room. The inhabitants of the room glanced up from their card playing and snacking to sarcastically raise their eyebrows at Shi-sama's show of superiority. A couple chuckled and exchanged private glances, others just stared. Shi-sama was unaware that they were staring at her, therefore she felt right at home, completely in the dark. Suddenly an explosion from the room next door knocked her hat off. She then realized that the lights were indeed on and her hat had fallen over her eyes. " Che, I knew I shouldn't have bought a hat two sizes too large!" She muttered picking up the fallen article and jammed it into her Hyperbolic antivisual emptyspace storage compartment ( or basically thin air ).
Only then did she realize the people staring at her were none other than Relena, Duo and Wufei. In her sudden realization of the fact, she failed to remember that Duo and Wufei were supposed to be male, and therefore should not be in the female dressing room. But being Shi-sama, she was too excited about meeting them for the first time. As she skipped over and put out her hand to shake, Relena flung a empty bottle of sake at her. " WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL @%#!&*$ DAY! GET YOUR @&^%$# @%#!&*$ @%^ OVER HERE AND PUT ON MY @%#!&*$ MAKEUP! YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING @%#!&*$ ^&@*) " She screamed. " I sure hope this one is better then the last one, she chipped my nails!!!!" Wufei muttered as he….er she(?) flipped her pigtail over her shoulder.
"No bleep" Duo replied, and suddenly realized something was wrong with her sentence " Bleep bleep bleeping bleep! Why the bleep are my bleeping comments censored!?" She bleeped " ( turns to authors) Hey! Yell isn't even a bleeping cussword." Suddenly the head of the dubber appeared in the doorway, "That's because we have yet to shut off your censor." He then dodged a expertly aimed dressing table that was aimed for his head. " This is bleeping injustice!" Duo yelled. Wufei jumped up and glared at Duo, her hands sassily placed on her hips." Hey that's like my line, @&%#*, K." She said jerking her head in the typical valley girl fashion. " Yeah? Care to fight about it?" Duo replied. " Comin' at ya, I'll scratch your eyes out." Wufei yelled, bringing her hands up to her chest, her palms open, to which Duo followed suit. They then proceeded to cat fight.
" Relena you're the peace maker! Stop them!!!" Shi-sama yelled as the fight continued. Relena glanced over at Shi-sama, shrugged and lit a Mickey, ( somewhere in Disneyland, Mickey look-alikes started screaming.) " Why the hell should I? I only play the part, not live it." She replied " Besides this is @%#!&*$ funny!" She then proceeded to laugh hysterically as the two went at it. The fight continued for about five more minutes until tragedy struck. " OH MY GAWD!!! I LOST A CONTACT!!" Duo screamed, grabbing her eyes in horror. When she opened them on of her eyes that had takin' the love of many girl fans, had turned brown. Upon Seeing this, Wufei exclaimed, "I knew they were fake." She then pulls of Duo's clip on earrings. Then she rips off Duo's supposedly fake nails. Duo cries out in pain, "You bleeping idiot, those weren't fake!" while blood sprays from her finger tips. At the sight of the bloody mess, Wufei screams repeatedly, "I hate blood!"
At this moment, the producer walks in. Everyone freezes as he says. "We start filming in 10 minutes." Wufei, Duo, and Relena freak out and grab Shi-sama in udder horror, shaking her screaming cusswords and jumbled sentences that some what sounded like ' get my makeup on now!!' or maybe it was ' my pig is fat ' or perhaps even ' Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two is four. That granted, all else follows' but we're getting off the subject. Shi-sama, who never put makeup on any one, frantically stared to smear, clamp, blush and rub various products on their faces. Duo screamed incoherently as Shi-sama poured eye drops in his already sore eyes, only then did she realize that she didn't have eye drops in her hands, but nail polish remover. Despite her inexperience with makeup art, she finished in record time and stood back admiring her handy work.
" Not bad if I say so myself." She did indeed say. The actors cautiously approached the mirrors. "Weeelll??" Shi asked. Her inquiry was met with the sound of a new clip being loaded into a Tommy gun. Shi-sama opened her eyes to see that Relena had a huge Tommy gun aimed at her head. It seemed to Shi-sama that they didn't care for her work. " Nani?…" Shi-sama muttered her eyes nervously twitching to the shocked Wufei and Duo to the really pissed Relena and back again. " Don't you like iiiiiiiit!?!?!" Shi-sama wailed, her eyes filling up with tears. " Hell no! I look like a @%#!&*$ cast member from Cats !!!" Relena screamed, cocking the gun. " Now that you mention it, you do kinda look like one." Shi-sama said, but proceeded to laugh nervously as Relena's eye's narrowed " D..Don't you think it looks..er..cool?" Relena's response to this consisted of a hail of bullets, that in typical Anime style, Shi-sama managed to dodge.
With a horrified scream, Shi-sama fled from the room from a strategically placed door. She ran down the hallway, closely followed by Relena and her Tommy gun( Not to mention Duo and Wufei, who by this time had overcome their initial shock). Dashing around the corner into the studio restaurant, right into the chaos created by Loonquil moments before. Loonquil seemed to be saying something to a really irritated Trowa ( if that was humanly possible) when she came in. " RUN LOONQUIL RUN!!!" She yelled reverting to slow motion.
But that is only part of the story…..
