repeat, I do not own Gundam Wing, nor
do I own "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying". This is the companion piece to "A Mobile
Suit is Not A Toy" by ReiAkari, which is a part of our musical "How to Succeed

Author's Note: There is slight Relena-bashing present in this song, so apologizes are
sent to all who may be offended.
It's
Been a Long Day
By
(Lights come up on a bare stage, Heero, Relena and Duo are all standing in a line. Duo continuously looks at his watch, at Heero and Relena, back at the watch and then to the audience. Music starts as he begins to sing.)
Duo: Well, here it is 5 p.m.
The finish of a long day's work
And there they are both of them
The princess and the jerk
Not very well acquainted
Not very much to say
But I can hear those two little minds
Ticking away
Now she's thinking . . .
Relena: I wonder if we take the same bus
Duo: And he's thinking
Heero: I wish
there was more space between us
Duo: Now she's thinking
Relena: He really
is a dear
Duo: And he's thinking
Heero: Should I kill her here?
Duo: Then she says
Relena: Heero?
Duo: He says…
Heero: Hn…well it's been a long day
All: Well it's been a long, been a long, been a long,
been a long day
Duo: Now she's thinking
Relena: I wish he
was more of a flirt
Duo: And he's thinking
Heero: (pulls out gun) I guess shooting her won't hurt
Duo: Now she's thinking
Relena: For dinner
we could meet
Duo: And he's
thinking
Heero: (puts gun in back pocket) A knife is more discreet
Duo: And she says
Relena: Ach-oo
Duo: He says…
Heero: [glare] . . .
Relena: Excuse me
Heero: (shrugs) Well
it's been a long day
All: Well it's been a long, been a long, been a long,
been a long day
Duo: Hey! (jumps between them and slings arm around
their shoulders) There's a yummy Friday special at Stouffer's, it's a $ 1.90
vegetable plate
And at the bottom of the add….not bad
Service for two, $ 3.58—to make a bargain, (pushes Heero
towards Relena)
make a date
Relena: Wonderful
Heero: (backs off, glares at Duo) My fate.
Duo: Now she's thinking
Relena: What female trap could I spring
Duo: And he's thinking
Heero: (realizes Duo pick pocketed his gun) I might as
well forget the whole thing
Duo: Now she's
thinking
Relena: Suppose I
take his arm
Duo: And he's thinking
Heero: I guess I
won't do her harm
Duo: Then she
says…
Relena: Hungry?
Duo: And he
says…
Heero: (pulling on Duo's braid) Yeah
Relena: (confused) Yeah?
Duo: (winces) Yeah.
All: Well it's been a long day
(they sing offstage, Heero dragging Duo off by his braid,
Relena following close behind)
Well it's been a long, been a long, been a long, been a long
day
