The Perfect Fan
By (Sinbad) Sean Marsula
A Gundam Wing Fanfic
Press release: The most critically acclaimed fic is stunning people
left and right. Critics are raving and jumping out of their seats to kill
other critics in a jealous rage against those whom they believe shouldn't
read such a masterpiece.
Bill Weathersby of the "Washington Post" mutters wildly, "This fic was
so laugh out loud I peed my pants, and I wasn't even wearing pants!"
Rebecca Schueller of the "Philadelphia Inquirer" exclaims, "I laughed,
I cried, and then I started to read the fic and was amazed."
Needless to say many are prophesizing this to be the greatest fic of all
time. And now for your reading pleasure we present another fic, as that
other fic was too hard and expensive to obtain. Hahahahahahahaha! Fools!
Nobody's read this fic so it could go either way. We're just the media
anyway. We never have any clue what we're saying anyhow.
Author's notes:
I apologize for the insane rantings of the media. Apparently nobody will
read a new writer with that other fic out. Anyhow, this is my first fic
and since no one's reviewed it yet comments and criticism are requested,
especially criticism so I can verbally abuse my haters in response. Kidding.
Both C & C are welcomed and no need to worry about retribution on my
part. Oh and my apologies to anyone involved in the media. I'm sorry you
have to work with such morons.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing or any of the characters associated
with it (except in my dreams, but you don't want to go there). It belongs
to Sotsu/Sunrise/Bandai. The others are mine and any relation to anyone
in real life is purely by accident.
Warnings: slight OOC at times
All right let's kick start this mofo.
Part 1
*********************
Present day, present time
It
was late Sunday night (or early Monday morning if you're the technical
type) and Jasmine was stretched out on the couch with her cat Heero, blue
light flashing on her face as she stared intently at the television. She
was by herself as usual, ever the insomniac, and the rest of her family
was comfortably asleep upstairs. Typical of nights like these and her need
for some activity, she was enveloping herself into the world of Gundam
Wing.
A young blond haired girl was standing on a cliff staring into the vast
expanses of the ocean as though she actually saw something within the sea's
limitless monotony. The wind picks up and her hair flows behind her as
she yells out to the ocean, "Heerooo! I'm right over here so come and kill
meeee!!!"
A slight smirk lit up on Jasmine's face as she mimicked the girl on the
screen calling out the young man's name along with her. Realizing her surroundings
she glanced up the stairs looking and listening if her momentary lapse
into fantasy had disturbed anyone. She let out a sigh of relief as all
was quiet as usual. She looked down to her cat that was glaring at her
for disturbing its quiet musings in its own cat fantasies.
"Sorry kitty," she said to the cat as she caressed his head. "I didn't
mean you, though it would be nice if you were the real Heero."
She giggled at the thought and imagined Mr. Perfect Soldier lying next
to her on the couch as she caressed his head. Caressing wouldn't
be the only thing I would be doing to him if I had him here> At this
she hooted wildly as her cat was steadily getting annoyed at what appeared
to him to be another step closer into insanity for his owner.
Jasmine regained her composure and watched as the end credits started to
roll on the television. She glanced up at the clock as it struck 5:00 am.
"Well Heero, it looks like it's time for me to join the rest of the city
and go to bed."
She bounced up the steps down the hall to her room. She flicked on the
lights and paper images of unruly hair, green tank tops, biking shorts,
and deep, piercing blue eyes filled her view.
After changing into some purple pj's she hopped onto the bed and knelt
to gaze into the image on the wall next to it. Jasmine closed her eyes
and kissed the glossy poster of the fierce looking Gundam pilot.
"Goodnight my Heero," she softly spoke. "If you don't come by to say 'I
love you' or at least come and kill me soon I'll have to overthrow a nation
for the ideals of peace to get you here." She smiled again at her silly,
psychotic mind and settled in for the night.

AC 197
Heero
Yuy was diligently working on repairs for his Gundam when the computer
screen started to flash in the cockpit. He quickly situated himself in
front of the screen and took in the details of his next mission. On screen
he was informed he was to take down a rogue squadron of Virgos that were
controlled by revolutionaries located near the moon.
"Mission accepted," the dark haired pilot calmly said. Heero prepped his
Gundam and piloted it into space soon arriving at his destination to encounter
the rogues.
"This should be a quick mission," he mused, "even without Wing Zero at
full capacity."
As he said this, the squadron spread wide and surrounded him. Heero shot
Wing Zero's rifle cannon to take out a couple. The rest he made quick work
of with the Gundam's beam saber.
Even easier than I thought it would be>, he thought to himself.
With his mission accomplished, Heero turned back and headed toward Earth
to continue working on his Gundam. As he started to approach Earth, everything
around him started to look distorted. He looked around him as his surroundings
turned hazy and faint.
"What's going on?" he whispered to himself with the slightest sound of
worry.
The air around him now was starting to ripple as though his Gundam was
a stone being hurled into a pond. He tried maneuvering to see if he could
escape whatever phenomenon he was entering. His attempts failed. Whatever
was going on, it continued. Heero began to feel weak and was having trouble
controlling Wing Zero. His hands slowly slipped from the controls as his
vision simultaneously began to dim. Before long all was pitch black.

"Jasmine! Jasmine get up or you'll be late for school!"
Jasmine lay face down on her pillow, her brown hair strewn about in every
which way. She slowly opened her eyes and looked at the clock. "Why the
hell does school have to start so early?" she mused groggily. With a sigh
and a slight struggle, Jasmine picked herself out of bed and got dressed
for school. Downstairs her mother had breakfast waiting for her.
"Mommm! I don't have time for breakfast. I'm late enough as it is. Just
make me a big lunch or something."
"Alright honey," her mother replied hesitantly, "but don't make a habit
of this."
"Fine mom," Jasmine groaned in response.
Ding-dong.
"That's probably Jane and Susan," said Jasmine. "Catcha later mom."
Jasmine ran out the door in a whirl of color and greeted her friends.
"Hey Jasmine," Jane said with a smile. "Say, you look pretty beat."
"Yeah. I didn't really get much sleep last night. Come on lets get going
to class or else we'll end up being late."
"I know why you look like "Night of the Living Dead". I bet you
were watching that stupid Gonzo Wong show, huh?" Susan chimed in with hint
of hostility.
"It's Gundam Wing Susan, and it's not stupid. Maybe you should actually
watch it before you judge it. It's actually a very complicated show with
very provocative ideas in it."
"Alright, alright. You know I was just kidding with ya. Sheesh. Sometimes
I think you're a little too involved with that show. I mean who gets a
crush on fictional characters. Who's that one you like? Herald or something?"
"It's Heero," Jane says, trying to keep any kind of tension between the
other two from escalating.
"That's right," replied Jasmine. "And you'd be just in love if you saw
him."
"Too bad he's not real," snorted Susan. "Then maybe you'd actually have
a boyfriend for once that looks good."
"That's funny. I don't recall you thinking of Andre as ugly before. As
I recall you said he was 'Antonio Banderas' young clone'. Could it perhaps
be that he thinks I'm better looking than you? What do you think Jane?
Do think that's why Andre dumped Susan for little old me?" Jasmine turned
to Jane with a wry smile.
"Alright you two. Knock it off. Let's talk about something else," says
Jane. "So, do you guys think Adam is gonna ask Michelle out at lunch or
what?"
Susan recomposed herself. "I don't know. That's what his friend says, but
I think he's still working himself up for me."
"Oh please!" Jane started to laugh. "You're so full of yourself Susan."
"Uh oh," yelped Jasmine. "I forgot my lunch. My mom is already on my case
about not eating breakfast. You guys go ahead. I'll catch up with you at
school."
With that Jasmine left the other two behind and dashed back towards home.
As she turned the block, ripples began to form in front of her like those
that appear on a hot summers day over the blacktop. Jasmine stopped, bewildered
at the scene unraveling before her.
"What's going on here?"
She tried to back away but the wavy air followed her and soon enveloped
her. Darkness was all that remained.
