Disclaimers: I do not own Gundam Wing *sniffle*. I don't own the story Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and I don't know who does. So there! As for warnings, this fic contains shonen-ai. But not that much, plus it's only because I randomly picked the parts. So if you don't like shonen-ai, you could probably read this fic anyway.
Twisted Fairy Tales:
Summer Duo and the seven chibis
Once upon a time, in the cliche beginning to this fic, there was a princess who ran away from home because she was being forced to marry against her will. Yes folks, this is important to the development to the plot, but I suppose you could skip it and move on to the real beginning, which comes in the next paragraph. But for those of you who are wondering what this princess has to do with the actual plotline can keep reading. So as this princess was running through the fields, she found a ring on the ground, set with a beautiful shimmering indigo stone. So she sat down and thought to herself, "I wish I could have a child with long flaxen hair, and eyes the color of this ring, and..." Well, while the princess was making her demands, the King's guard found her and took her back home.
But the marriage must not have been that bad, because a year later she had a child, who did have flaxen hair and indigo eyes. But apparently there had been some kind of cosmic joke played on her, because she had meant to ask for a girl who looked like this, but ended up with a bishonen. But, being the happy-go-lucky person she was, she still loved the beautiful child that she had. She named him Summer Duo, and then she died.
The king, who was overcome with grief, decided to fill the void of losing a loved one with remarrying. His new wife, Queen Dorothy, was beautiful, but she was also jealous and cruel and had a bit of a self-esteem problem. She owned a magic mirror, and every day she would look into it and ask:
Mirror, mirror, on my wall
Who's the fairest one of all?
And Noin, the spirit that lived inside the mirror, would always say, "You, Queen Dorothy, are the prettiest one of all." And Dorothy's self esteem would go up, because she knew the mirror could not lie, and she would be happy until the next day.
But as Summer Duo grew up, he became prettier and prettier, as most bishonen do. Queen Dorothy, as most insecure people would, became worried that one day, Summer Duo would become the fairest in the land. So she dressed Summer Duo up in rags, made him braid his long hair that he refused to let anyone cut and forced him to live with the servants and work all day.
However, Summer Duo shared the same happy-go-lucky attitude as his mother, and didn't mind doing most of the work. He contentedly scrubbed floors and got water from the well, dreaming of the day when someone would rescue him and take him to a castle in the colonies. One day, as he got water from the well, he heard the pigeons talking to him. "If you make a wish into the well, it'll come true!" Summer Duo decided to tactfully ignore the fact that birds were telling him he had been drinking from a well that could grant wishes, and stuck his head into the well.
"I wish that someone wonderful would find me today."
And as Summer Duo took his head out of the well, the not-so-charming Prince Heero rode up to the castle. He saw Summer Duo, and though not quite sure whether he was a boy or a girl, decided that he was one of the most beautiful people he had ever seen. But when Summer Duo realized that someone was staring at him he ran inside. Queen Dorothy also noticed this, and turned yellow and green. The castle doctors determined it was nothing more than a slight case of jealousy, and recommended a facial.
Queen Dorothy once again asked her mirror:
Mirror, mirror, on the wall,
Aren't I the fairest one of all?
But when Noin popped up she replied, "Sorry, Queen, but it looks like Summer Duo is now the fairest one of all. But if it makes you feel any better, you were recently voted the most malicious ruler in fifty years."
Queen Dorothy threw a temper tantrum, then got an idea and sent for her huntswoman, Catherine. "I want you to take Summer Duo deep into the woods and kill him!" She gave Catherine an ornate box. "Bring me back his braid in this box as proof."
Catherine was saddened by Dorothy's words, but she didn't want to make her mad. So as she took Summer Duo deep into the woods, she made a plan. "The Queen wants me to kill you, but I cannot," she told him, "run away into the woods, and don't come back. I will tell Queen Dorothy that you are dead." So Catherine left Summer Duo, and on her way back to the castle she bought a wig, braided it, cut off the braid, and put it in the box.
All alone in the forest, Summer Duo was scared, as he had never left the palace grounds. He ran through the forest, looking for a way out. Eventually he found a little cottage. Not aware of the laws against breaking and entering, he walked inside and found no one home. The house was filled with dirt and cobwebs and dirty dishes. Summer Duo's cleaning instincts kicked in and he cleaned the entire house. He went upstairs and found seven little beds, each one with a name on it: Quatre, Zechsy, Wufie, Relenie, Trowy, Sally and Hildy. "What weird names, and the beds are so small," Summer Duo thought. He then pushed all the beds together and fell asleep.
Late in the evening, the owners of the house came home. They were very surprised to find that the whole house was clean. "I can't believe it!" Quatre exclaimed. "Yeah, can't believe that someone broke into our house and didn't steal anything," Zechsy muttered. They went upstairs to find Summer Duo sleeping in their beds. Trowy poked him, "what do you think it is?" "It's an onna! An onna broke into our house! INJUSTICE!" Wufie screamed. Of course, this woke Summer Duo up. "What the...this house belongs to a bunch of chibis! Weird!" This caused all of the chibis to become very upset. But Summer Duo explained what happened to her, and they decided to make a deal.
"We'll let you stay if you clean our house and make us dinner," Relenie said. Summer Duo, not knowing much about any other way to live, agreed. So while the chibis went out looking for diamonds every day, Summer Duo would keep everything neat and have dinner set up for them when they came home. And every day the chibis warned him, "Don't let anyone into the house, since your stepmother is very tricky."
Back at the castle, Queen Dorothy was doing a little happy dance, "Summer Duo's gone! Now I'm the fairest one of all!" Just to make sure, she asked her mirror:
Mirror, mirror, on my wall
Aren't I the fairest one of all?
But Noin popped up and said, "Sorry, but Summer Duo's still the fairest one of all. But don't get mad, I know where he is." So the mirror gave the Queen directions to the chibis house so she would throw another tantrum and crack the glass in the mirror. Queen Dorothy then thought up a plan. She dressed herself up in black rags and pretended to be an old peddler woman. "Now no one will recognize me!" Actually, half the kingdom did, but they were used to eccentric rulers. Dorothy also brought with her a poisoned box of pocky, which looked so delicious that everyone who saw it wanted a bite.
The Queen made her way to the seven chibi's house. She knocked on the window and begged Summer Duo for some water. Summer Duo reluctantly handed her some water, and when Dorothy finished drinking it, she offered him the box of pocky. "Won't you have some as thanks?" Summer Duo knew he shouldn't take pocky from strangers, but it looked so...tasty...
Once Summer Duo took a bite of the pocky, he collapsed onto the floor. The animals in the forest ran to warn the chibis, but when the chibis got back to the cottage, Summer Duo wouldn't wake up. However, the animals found Queen Dorothy and pushed her off a cliff, where she died a rather nasty death. The animals were very proud of themselves, not realizing they had thrown the country into an economic crisis.
But more important is Summer Duo, who was currently in a crystal coffin the chibis hade made for him. All day and all night, they watched over him. After awhile, our not-so-charming but oh-so-loveable Prince Heero had heard about this beautiful person who lay asleep in a forest glen. He wondered if it was the person he has seen so long ago, and decided to check it out. When he got there, the chibis let him go near Summer Duo, and he leaned over and kissed him. Summer Duo then woke up, and glomped him in return. They went off together to live in Heero's castle in the colonies, where they lived happily ever after.
Wow, that was...strange. Hmm...now how can I get you to review? I know! I'll give away the seven chibis! Everyone loves chibis! Free chibis to the first seven people who review! All flames can be left with my secretary, Quatre-
Quatre: MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
