****Mahahahahaha- **chokes again.** So the torture begins again!!! Again,
wait… Again Someone will be making, um, remarks throughout the story and
Somebody might even make a guest appearance. I have no idea what's going to
happen in this next part of the story, so bare with me, hopefully it will get
better.****

Okay, here's the recap…

Now, where did we leave off? Oh, Duo just found out what dignity was, Trowa
discovered that there was still frosting left, Heero was protecting the
frosting from Trowa. While Quatra was busying himself by putting the
frosting on the cake and Wufei was becoming frustrated by the whole ordeal,
and just wants to eat the cake (even though he won't admit it. **Someone is
bashed over head, Somebody, because she's trying to listen.** Ouch!!)
N-E-Way… So that's where we left off, as of right now the cake is finally
finished, as is stated many times in the story. So we begin, again.

--Thanks for reading thus far, Megumi, Empress of Fantasia.

The cake was finished, frosted and look'in as delicious as ever (at least
that's what Somebody thinks at the moment **laughs at whats in store for the
Gundam pilots** ~~ In the distance we hear Somebody saying: "What?!! You
didn't tell me there was cake in the fic!!!"~~)Uuhhh, did I mention a lot of
interruptions in this part of the story too? Well now I did. The cake was
finally finished and ready to be devoured (but by who is still a mystery **att
empts laugh evilly- cough** Urgh!!), it was even topped off by the
strawberries that had miraculously escaped Heero, all in all the boys (**cough
Quatracough**) had done a good job at baking the cake. (~~ Somebody is now
making they're way towards the scene where the cake lays: "Now I know I heard
the word cake in there, I know it!" ~~)
"It's finished." Quatra announced.
"It's about time." Says an irritated Wufei (Who really just wants to eat the
cake and be done with it. **Someone wipes away drool as they stare at cake**
Okay, so maybe he's not the only one who wants to eat it.) Everyone stares
in astonishment at the finished cake, then following Someone's example, wipe
away the drool before Somebody notice's.
Then breaking the silence that has formed as all stare at the cake in wonder
and awe, Duo asks "Can we eat yet?"
Trowa nods in agreement, "Yeah, can we eat it yet?"
Quatra facefaults and an irritated Wufei just looks, well, irritated, while
Heero reaches for the frying pan that had been used to subdue his strawberry
eating (I don't understand, your supposed to eat the cake, right? **Looks
confused**).
Duo looks at the cake and then the frying pan in Heero's hand. "What? The
cakes for eating ain't it?" (Good I'm not the only one who thinks like that. *
*grin**)
"Not until I know why we baked a cake, then we can eat it." Heero still
wasn't setting the frying pan down (Somehow, its cuter when Duo holds the
frying pan. **Looks thoughtful**)
There is more silence as all try to think of why they would bake cake (I told
you in the beginning, don't ask why, but you never listen. **Shakes head
sadly, again**).
"Is it anybody's birthday?" asked Quatra. More silence, it isn't Anybody's
birthday, though Relina's was coming up, some time, but they had all
forgotten about that (It seems that they're not the only one's to have
forgotten **scratches head in thought, again** ~~ "I can't believe she
thought she could hide that from me, it's cake! How can you possibly hide
that?"~~). Everyone thinks some more.
"Maybe there's some all powerful force that we don't know about, a force that
just decides that we're all going to bake a cake and now its being cruel by
not letting us eat it." Everyone stares at Duo, "Or maybe not, maybe we
baked a cake jus cause we felt like it." He shrugged. Suddenly an ominous
voice boomed from the, uh, the ceiling, "FOOL, YOU DARE TO QUESTION MY
AUTHORS POWERS?!! IF I WISHED IT SO, YOU WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE
CAKE!! SOMEBODY IS GONNA GET HURT IF THEY KEEP TALKING LIKE THAT."
"What the heck, who is that?" asked Duo who had just renewed his theory on
the powerful force causing all this.
"SHOOT BUG! LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! I'VE FRIGHTENED THE CHARECTERS;
SOMEBODY WILL PAY FOR THIS! NOW I HAVE TO USE A SMALL VOICE." The voice
stops talking to change to her small voice. "There, look at this now I have
to cut this whole scene out so they don't know what's going on." There is a
flash of bright green light and we see the whole scene rewinding at a fast
pace.
"Is it anybody's birthday?" asked Quatra. Silence, the only person who had a
birthday coming up was… Relina (**shudders** ~~ "Almost there, then the cake
will be mine! MU HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" Somebody is still making their way to
the house, despite the Authors non-exsistant threats.~~).
"Um, no. I don't think so." Says Duo. Then as if fate had decided to be
very cruel that day (or maybe the Author **Holds up arms to block a notebook
that was thrown Someone's way, but by who is still a mystery**) a shrill
sound echoed from the living room, a sound that caused perfect soldiers to
cringe with fear, "HHEEEEEERRROOOOOO!!!"
Heero cringed at the sound of the voice (No! Not her! NOT HER! **Also
cringes**) Trowa tried to grab the cake but was stopped by Quatra. Wufei was
in the process of trying to hide the cake behind the microwave (Don't ask. I
tell you don't ask), when Relina entered the kitchen and immediately spotted
the cake.
"Oh my, you shouldn't have! You baked this for me? How sweet!" she squealed
(Ha! The Author made her squeal! Heh heh heh, heeerrree piggy piggy piggy! *
*Starts laughing hysterically and making pig calls**). She walked over to
the cake that Wufei was standing in front of protectively.
"Well, let me see it?" She fluttered her eyelashes, Wufei looked sick.
"Uh, its, uh, its…" Obviously Wufei did not want to share their cake with
Relina Peacecraft.
Quatra was confused, why not share the cake? Duo and Trowa also did not want
to share; hey she could buy her own cake, right? Heero just wanted her to
leave, quickly, very quickly (Me too! **Look of fright is replaced by a look
that clearly says: Why was this dumb idiot put in the story?**)
"It's what?" She asked dripping with fake sweetness (At least I hope its fake
**shudders again**), "It was supposed to be a surprise wasn't it? And its
not finished yet, oh you boys are soo sweet" Relina squealed again. (~~ In
the distance Somebody faintly hears the call of: Heeerrree piggy piggy piggy!
Shrugs at the sound and keeps walking toward where the cake is~~).
"Uh, that's right Miss Relina, you caught us, this cake was for you, but
it's not finished quite yet." Duo grinned, well there had to be away to get
her out of the kitchen so they could eat their cake. Then Quatra stepped in,
"But Duo the cake is-"
"Is not finished, we were hoping for it to be a surprise but we can't put
anything past you, now can we Miss Relina." Duo cut Quatra off before he
could give their cake to Miss 'I'm Queen of the World, give me your cake'
Relina Peacecraft.
Relina looked past Duo to the kitchen door where Heero was trying to
escape, um, leave the kitchen. "Heero, did you help bake the cake?"
"What cake?" Heero replied in a somewhat confused monotone.
"That cake." Relina pointed to the cake that Wufei was still standing in
front of.
Heero glanced at the cake, then at Relina, then back to the cake. "I
don't know anything about that cake, I was just leaving."
He walked towards the door, then Relina stopped him, "Well if my cake
isn't done, I should leave too. I'll come with you." She turned to follow
him. Realizing Relina was going to follow him, Heero decided to make a mad
dash away from the unremembered birthday girl and sprinted out the door (Not
to be seen until the unexplained or rather explained disappearance of Relina
Peacecraft **Rubs hands together with an evil grin** heh heh heh). Relina
gave chase actually hoping to keep up, soon she was no longer a threat to the
newly (or not newly) finished cake.
"Well I guess that takes care of that problem." Laughed Duo, he found it
extremely funny that the 'Perfect Soldier' Heero Yuy, could be chased away by
a girl, especially a spoiled brat like Relina.
"Duo, why couldn't we just share the cake with her, her birthday is
coming up, we have enough cake." Quatra was a bit ashamed that they wouldn't
even share their cake with Relina, it was her birthday after all (How could
she ruin that do so much! It started off so nice then... her. **Shakes a
fist at whatever force had decreed that Relina Peacecraft be born** ~~
Somebody faintly hears the name 'Relina Peacecraft' and is consumed by a
small fit of rage at the thought that 'Relina ' might get to the cake before
she did, moves faster to reach the cake. ~~)
"Ha, with Maxwell's appetite we'll be lucky if there's enough for the
five of us." Wufei snorted.
"Hey, I don't eat that much." Duo protested.
"Can we eat now?" Trowa was impatient to have more frosting (hey, can't
blame the guy for wanting more frosting **grin**).
"Well, it was still very mean of you not to share." Now Quatra was
pouting.
"Well, if you're so worried about hurting her feelings, why don't you
give her your piece of the cake?" Asked Duo. This shut Quatra up, as bad as
he might have felt for not sharing the cake, he was not willing to give up
his piece (not for her at least **rolls eyes, like that's obvious**). Then
Heero's head popped through an open window, "Is she gone?"
"Yes, she left to chase after you." Replied Wufei.
"Good, then it's safe to come back in?"
"Yes."
Heero climbed through the window and sat down in one of the kitchen
chairs. Trowa was now staring at the cake, or more correctly the frosting on
the cake.
"So, how'd ya lose her this time Heero?" Duo asked casually.
"I, uh, I well…" Heero really didn't want to tell how he'd lost Relina,
it wasn't that embarrassing, but still…
"You had to hide in the bushes again, didn't you?" Snickered Wufei.
"Well, uh, I… Yes! I had to hide in the bushes until she left! Are you
happy now?" As said before, not that embarrassing, but still…
"You'd think she'd have figured it out by now." Laughed Duo.
"Shut up, you'll jinx a good thing." Shushed Heero
(sshhhhhhhuusshhhhed!!!!!! **Grins**)
"It's a good thing that you have a demented stalker like that, um,
stalking you?" Inquired Duo.
"No, but it's a good thing that my demented stalker doesn't think to look
for me in the most obvious place's." Duo started snicker. Heero glared at
him, then Wufei started, "You call the bushes just outside the front door an
obvious place for a Gundam pilot to hide?"
"Shut up, I meant she doesn't think to look there." Heero was still
glaring at Duo who was still snickering.
"Your demented stalker doesn't think at all, Heero." Wufei was laughing
now too.
"What are you laughing at?" Heero demanded.
"She's your stalker now, not only that she's your demented stalker, heh
heh heh…" Duo continued to laugh. Then Quatra decided to enter the
conversation, "I think Duo's just jealous, cause he doesn't have a demented
stalker."
This stopped Duo's laughing for about ten seconds, then he started
laughing hysterically (not for the first time today. **Also starts laughing
hysterically, again**~~ Laughing is heard from inside the house that Somebody
has just arrived at: "Well looks like I came just in time for the party." **an
evil grin appears of the face of the unknown Somebody as she opens the door
and walks in…**~~ ).
"Now why would someone like me want a demented stalker, I mean I'm
already a hit with the ladies as it is." He wipes a tear from his eyes, that
was just too funny (yeah jealous of Heero cause he has a demented stalker and
Duo doesn't **Also wipes tears from eyes** heh heh heh…).
"HA HA! I've finally found it!" Somebody cried triumphantly from the
kitchen door. Five heads snap around at the sound of Somebody's voice. They
turned to see a fairly tall blond, with shoulder length hair. She was a
little heavy but not much, with blue eyes and baggy clothes.
"I knew there was cake here, the Author or Someone was trying to hide it
from me, but you can't hide this kind of information from the Neo-Queen of
the Saiyans."
"Uh, who are you again?" asked Quatra.
"Wha, What the heck Quatra, she shouldn't even be here and your trying to
get aquatinted?!" Yelled Wufei.
"That and didn't you hear her? She's here for the cake!" Cried Trowa.
"Uh huh" Somebody nodded their head, "I'm here for the cake, so you can
either give the cake to me nicely or you can get in my way and get hurt."
She smiled sweetly.
All five of the pilots seriously doubted that this person, this girl, who
looked about the same age as they could hurt them, even if she was trying to
get to the cake. Quatra was still trying to be friendly, "Who are you again?"
"Oh yes of course, I'm sure the readers are all wondering who I am." She
stated rather perkily.
"The readers?" asked Duo.
"Oh, that's right you're not aware of exactly what you're in. You probably
don't even know why you baked a cake do you?" Somebody queried. (I know why
they baked a cake **grins knowingly**) Somebody's head snapped around behind
her at the sound of Someone's voice.
"You can come out now, no need for the parenthesis." Somebody called out.
"Oh, all right fine, as long as you promise to share the cake with me."
Someone shimmered into being behind Somebody. Someone was a little taller
than Somebody with dark brown hair of about the same length. She had a
lighter shade of blue eyes and looked a bit under weight, the two girls
looked like complete opposites.
Somebody turned around to face Someone, "Nice entrance." She said
simply, with a smile.
"I have the Author to thank for that, so did ja leave me any cake?" She
asked hopefully.
"Give me some credit, I just got-" Somebody was cut off by…
"Hey, that's a tail!" The boy yelled and pointed.
"Hey, that's a Duo!" Somebody yelled and pointed back.
"Yeah, you're in a G-wing fic." Someone stated simply then waggled her
fingers at Duo, who looked shocked, because not only had he noticed
Somebody's tail, he had also noticed Someone's wings.
"Wait, hold on!" Yelled Wufei, "Who are you people and what are you doing
here?"
"Uh, well that is Mikiko, the Neo-Queen of the Saiyans," Someone pointed
to Somebody indicating the she was the Neo-Queen, "and I'm Megumi, Empress of
Fantasia. Miki-chan is here for her cake." Explained Megumi. Mikiko nodded
her head in agreement.
"Your voice sounds kind of familiar." Quatra looked at Megumi.
"Like a loud booming voice from the ceiling, only softer and quieter."
Megumi asked cheerfully.
"Actually yeah."
"Hhhhmmmmmm…" was his only response.
"So why did we bake the cake?" asked Heero.
"You baked the cake cause the Author made you." Mikiko said sincerely.
"Yes, but why?" Heero asked again.
"See that was supposed to be a surprise, the Author had the cake baked
for Miki-chan's Birthday." Megumi clarified. Miki-chan looked touched at
the thought of a cake being baked for her.
"Who's the author?" Asked Trowa, who was standing in front of the cake.
"That's the Author." Megumi corrected.
"Of course."
"The Author is the writer of the fic we're in."
"Huh?" All five pilots ?said? at the same time.
"You see we're all part of a 'Never Ending Story'." Megumi went on
mystically.
"Uh, Meggi-chan I think your confusing them." Mikiko started to laugh at
the confused looks on everyone's face; they all looked so cute when they're
confused.
"Oh well, lets just get the cake and leave." Sighed Megumi.
"Trowa, move out of the way. I can't take the cake if you're standing
there." Mikiko also sighed.
"Then I'm not moving." Trowa said calmly.
"Yes, we worked very hard on this cake." Quatra put in and also wen to
stand in front of the cake. Miki quirked an eyebrow at Meggi, "Well it is
your fic." Mikiko pointed out.
"Fine" Was Megumi's only reply. Then Quatra walked over and picked up
the cake and began to walk towards Mikiko.
"Quatra, what are you doing?" yelled Trowa, who was now frozen in place
along with everyone else, with the exception of Miki, Meggi, and Quatra.
Quatra handed the cake to Mikiko and polity said "Happy Birthday Miss
Mikiko."
"Why thank you." Miki smiled sweetly and looked touched.
"What do all of you have to say?" asked Megumi.
"Give us our cake back?" said, rather asked Duo.
"No, I was thinking more along the lines of 'Happy Birthday Miki-chan!'"
Megumi also smiled sweetly. Then all in unison the five Gundam pilots said
"Happy Birthday Miki-chan!"
"Thank you, all of you." She smiled again and wiped a tear form her eye.
"Awe, Miki-chan what's the matter?" Megumi looked concerned.
"It's just that, that I didn't get to ki blast anyone." Miki sniffled.
Suddenly a person fell form the sky, uh, ceiling with the Anyone written all
over them, literally written all over them in a bright red marker.
"Alright!" an energy ball began to form in Neo-Queen's hands as she
prepared to blast Anyone. There was a sudden flash of bright light and the
sound of maniac laughing as Anyone was sent to 'Another Dimension'.
"Well, Happy birthday, Miki-chan." Megumi smiled at her very talented
saiyan friend.
"Uh, Meggi-chan, who was that?" asked Mikiko
"Anyone." The childlike empress answered simply.
"Okay!" And the two girls walked off with the cake leaving the five
Gundam Pilots to figure out just what had happened.
"Um, what just happened here?" Asked Duo who was still frozen to his
chair.
"I think we just had an encounter with a force that we cannot possible
hope to comprehend or understand." Replied Wufei who was also frozen in his
chair.
"They were girls, and girls tend to be very mysterious. I know, I have
twenty-nine sisters and I still don't understand them." Sighed Quatra who
was frozen in place by the door. ("OOOHHHHHH!!! The female species, such an
enigma!" Laughed the Neo-Queen, whilst munching on her birthday cake.)
"Do you think all girls are that weird, or is it just the few that we
know?" Asked Trowa.
"The world may never know." Heero shook his head sadly. Duo started
laughing again, "What, what did I say this time?" Duo was really getting on
his nerves.
"The world may never know, heh heh heh, that's an old tootsie pop motto,
like from the late 1900's. heh heh heh… The world may never know…" Duo
continued to laugh at Heero's use of the old tootsie pop motto.
"How long do you think we're going to have to stay here like this?"
Asked Trowa.
"How ever long the Author decides to make us I guess." Answered Quatra.
"This 'the Author' person is very cruel, what kind of sick person makes
peoples bake a cake and then won't let them eat it." Wufei was about to
start one of his justice rants, "Then the injustice of leaving us here
without the ability to move, just so they can go and eat our cake. Not to
mention we have to hear to Maxwell's incessant babbling, now we're forced to
listen."
"Did you ever think about what an injustice it is to have to listen to
you rant about justice, now we have no escape from your speeches on honor and
integrity." Duo retorted. ("Do you think I should unfreeze them now?" asked
the Empress. "Yeah, but only one at a time." Advised the Neo-Queen as she
handed a piece of cake to the Empress. "You're wicked, and thanks" Was the
Authors only response.)
"Why you-" Wufei was cut off by…
"HHEEEEEERRRRROOOOOO!!!!" ("No, it wasn't Heero." Both girls responded
at the same time, while covering their ears.) Heero felt the urge to run,
and found that he could do so, so he did. He ran over to the window, climbed
out and wasn't seen for the rest fic. Relina entered the kitchen soon after
he had retreated.
"Is my cake done?" She asked.
"It was stolen by some royally weird people." Duo said simply, he
figured she'd never believe the truth, so that's what he told her, it was far
better then anything he could have thought up.
"If the cake wasn't for me you could have just said so." Relina said
angrily.
"Your right Miss Relina, the cake wasn't for you, in fact it wasn't for
any of us. It was for the Neo-Queen of the Saiyans as a gift from her friend
the Empress of Fantasia." He loved this, she would never believe it, but it
was true, this was so great.
"You don't need to lie about it!" Relina stomped her foot and glared at
Duo, which didn't do much cause all he did was give her that 'I'm completely
innocent' look.
"Why Miss Relina, I would never lie to you, it's true the Author made us
bake a cake for Mikiko. Ask Quatra what happened. We all know he wouldn't
lie." Duo said in a completely innocent voice.
"No, I don't need to, you ate the cake cause you didn't want to share it
with me!" Relina stormed out of the kitchen then remembered that she had
also come to see Heero, and stormed back in, "Do you know where Heero is?"
("OOOHHHH, now she's being blunt about it! Pushy, pushy!" Mikiko starts
laughing again.)
"Yes." Duo responded plainly
"Well, where is he?" Relina was getting angry with this braided pilot.
A mischievous grin crossed Duo's face.
"In the bushes in the back of the house." His grin widened.
"Duo! Why'd you do that?" Exclaimed Quatra.
"Okay, fine, he's hiding in the bushes in the front of the house." Duo
smiled sweetly.
"I don't need to take this from you!" She stormed out of the room for
the second time, right after she glared at every one in the kitchen. Even
Trowa and Wufei who had wisely kept quiet through the whole conversation.
"Happy Birthday Relina!!!!!" Duo called after her.

The End… Finally!!!

Epilogue, well kind of, more of and ending Authors note…

MU HAHAHAHA**choke**cough**choke** Well, Miki-chan and I enjoyed the
cake, it was yummy! Yes, I was Someone, I suffer from multiple
personalities, and I just like to talk to myself. Um, I eventually unfroze
the Gundam pilots, being as they are needed for other fanfics. I don't know
if they ever tried baking again. Relina never did figure out that Heero
would hide in the bushes just outside the house whenever she came over. She
still doesn't believe that 'some royally weird people' came and ate her cake,
well it wasn't hers to begin with, so there! Uh, just to clarify again, yes
I am Megumi, Empress of Fantasia, AKA the Author, AKA Someone. Mikiko is the
Neo-Queen of the Saiyans AKA Somebody. When I wrote this it was the end of
August and it really wasn't Miki-chans birthday, but who cares? It went well
with the story, so there again! Sorry if the ending was kind of sudden, I was
tired and just wanted to end this insanity right now. Now that my torture is
done with you may proceed to burn my story and get a life. Bye-bye!
From-ACK!!! You know who it's from!!!
