Pyramus and Thisbe

Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. What more can I say? I'm a simple kid, looking to have some fun with an anime, that's all.
***********************************
A young golden girl hair is seen. She's wearing a gray beret, black pants, baby blue tank top, open dark blue blouse, and a long black jacket. She looks around 25 but had bags under her eyes. She's in a light green room, a huge window which light was pouring in from, and a few chairs, a blue sofa, and a simple, round table.
"I hope they come soon."
"HEY Ojousan!"
The girl turned around to see a man with a meter long braid, dressed all in black beaming at her.
"Hey Relena!"
Relena looked behind the man and saw a short, raven-haired girl, wearing a pink tank top, black leather jacket and light blue jeans.
"Hilde! Duo! So glad you can come!"
"Looks like we're early for a change. See Hilde, we didn't have to wake up an hour ago! We could've woke up half an hour ago."
"Shut up Duo."
"Is that any way to talk to you're boyfriend?"
Hilde grabbed Duo's braid and pulled down HARD on Duo's braid.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!! HILDE!!!!!"
"Maybe you'll finally learn."
Hilde dragged a hysterically laughing Relena to the other side of the room to chat. Meanwhile, Duo nurtured his braid by kissing it and whispering to it. Suddenly, Trowa and Catherine walked in. Trowa was wearing a black tank top with a blue jean jacket and a pair of blue jeans. Catherine was wearing light blue jeans and a pink tank top.
"HEY RELENA!! HIYA HILDE!"
"Catherine, hey! Come on!"
"Hey Catherine. How are you?"
"Relena, enough with the formalities!"
" Hi Relena...Hilde"
"Hey Trowa!"
"Hi."
While Catherine sped off to join Relena and Catherine, Trowa walked towards to the furthest corner, by the open window. Then, Quatre and Dorothy arrived. Dorothy was wearing a blue skirt with a black tank top. Quatre was wearing black dress pants, white tank top covered by an open black dress shirt.
"Hi Miss Relena, Miss Catherine, and Miss Hilde."
" Miss Relena, girls, you all look splendid."
"Thank you Quatre."
"YUP!" Hilde yelled laughing.
"Dorothy, call us Relena, Catherine and Hilde. No formalities."
Catherine calmly said.
Dorothy nodded than proceeded to walk towards the girls. Quatre smiled at Duo and than walked to Trowa. Trowa turned his head and nodded. Quatre smiled and followed Trowa's example to stare out the window.
"SALLY! HURRY UP!"
Wefei bursts into the room wearing his blue tank top, Preventers jacket and blue jeans. Sally was wearing a black long sleeved shirt and black jeans.
Sally nodded towards the boys and Wefei nodded towards the girls. Sally went to join the girls while Wefei walked towards the corner near the door. Then, a laughing Zechs (it's easier to type) and Noin walked in.
"Hey guys. How's it going?" everyone stared at Zechs with their jaws open. Zechs shrugged.
"Hi! How's everythin'?" Everyone smiled at Noin.
Zechs scratched his head and went to join his sister along with Noin. Relena stood up and cleared her throat. At one, 8 pairs of eyes stared at her.
"Is everyone here?"
Duo smirked and put on a face of mocked shock.
"OH MY GOD! Who are you and what have you done to the real Relena Peacecraft?!?! The real Relena Peacecraft WOULD NEVER forget HEERO YUY!
Relena looked at Duo and her face flushed. You couldn't tell if she was angry at the comment or blushing. Duo cowered in the corner when he saw Zechs' death glare.
"MAXWELL!!!! WHY WOULD MY SISTER MISS THAT SUICIDAL SON OF A BITCH BASTARD? WHY WOULD HE COME?!?!?!"
"One because I was invited. And two, because I am a suicidal, son of a bitch bastard."
Everyone turned their heads to the corner near the window. There was a dark shadow. The shadow stepped into the light and all the girls' jaws dropped faster than you can say drool. Standing there was one the cutest guys in the world. Heero was wearing a gray tank top, open black leather jacket, baggy gray parachutes and yellow boots. In his left hand, was a small CD player and the earphones where over his ears. A toothpick was in between his lips. His bangs were now longer which hid more than half his face. He lifted his face, which revealed his eyes, which were now darker than before. He had grown taller and almost reached Trowa. His body was now toned and can say that he was the most muscular.
Duo pouted at the sight of all the girls staring at Heero.
"Ahem."
The girls snapped back to reality and stopped drooling. Heero smiled slightly at the sight. Duo walked over to Heero and rounded Heero like a vulture.
"Nice clothes pal. Love the CD player thing. That toothpick is very nice too. I think you should give me a few pointers."
Heero looked at Duo and chuckled.
"Duo, and you wonder why Hilde hits you all the time. Here you have..."
Heero went over to Hilde and walked around her like Duo had to him.
"One hot girl and you want tips on how to pick up other girls? For shame."
When Hilde heard this comment, she turned five shades of red in five seconds. Quatre chuckled.
"Heero, you've changed. But you need to tell me how you get your look."
Heero smirked. He walked over to Quatre and put his right arm around Quatre's shoulders.
"Quatre, you're lucky. This extremely beautiful woman..."
Heero walked them over to Dorothy.
"This extremely beautiful woman cares for you. She doesn't care what you look like. But that charm of yours goes a long way."
Quatre as well as Dorothy blushed. Heero saw Catherine behind Hilde, talking to Trowa. Heero walked over and nudged Trowa.
"Trowa, is she your sister. I would love to take this pretty thing out to dinner sometimes."
Catherine blushed and Trowa frowned and then smiled.
"Heero, sorry to cast you down but, she's not my sister. She's my girlfriend in fact."
Heero smiled at Trowa and they both looked at Catherine. Heero nodded his approval and Trowa grinned. Wefei had steam pouring out of his ears. He turned to Sally and was going to scream at her. Heero sopped Wefei.
"Wefei, you aren't gonna yell at a pretty face like this are you? Come one, look at her, you have to be nuts to not like her."
"YUY......"
Heero smiled and Wefei nodded. Zechs now had steam pouring out his ears and a person could mistake him for an angry bull about to charge at Heero.
"Yuy......"
Heero walked over and looked at Noin. Heero looked at Zechs.
"Goin' out or married."
"NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. But we're not married."
"You're kidding right? This graceful and charming lady? Sheesh Zechs."
Heero walked over to Relena and his eyes sparkled with amusement as her eyes showed her surprise and shock.
"And to my knowledge you, my sweet and elegant angel aren't going out. So I have a chance. Unless my knowledge is messed up. God you look good in that outfit."
Relena blushed ten shades of red in five seconds. She looked at Heero and closed their distance.
"This isn't like you."
"I've changed. But this is the most you'll get out of me."
Relena chuckled and wrapped her arms around Heero, pulling him into an embrace. Heero pulled away a while later and stood back in his corner.
"Relena, please continue."
Relena nodded and looked at everyone.
"I want to do a charity show for the Odin Lowe Jr. Orphanage. It's a play and I wanna know if you guys are interested. Duo jumped into the air.
"Oh yeah!"
Everyone agreed. Even Heero and Trowa.
"I was thinking about Romeo and Juliet. You all can have your pic-"
A phone rang as everyone looked around. Heero dug into his pockets and retrieved a small cell phone.
"Gomen Relena. Lo? Doc? No. Nope, I cant. What's more important, the others. Play. I'm not going. Look, told ya, no. Gasp all you want I can say no okay? Damn. Relena? I'll be right back. I just have to finish this call. Can I use your computer?"
"Sure it's-"
"I know where it is."
Heero walked out the room.
"As I was saying. The girls and boys can talk and decide what they want."
Five minutes later, everyone converged in the center. Relena spoke for the girls.
"We want Romeo and Juliet."
The boys cringed as Quatre stepped up.
"We want Macbeth."
"Okay, Romeo and Juliet it is."
"WHAT???????" The boys screamed in unison.
"That would never work."
Everyone turned to Heero. Relena glared at Heero.
"What do you mean?"
"That would take too long. We only have half an hour on the stage."
"How would you know?"
"Trust me."
"How do you know?!?!"
Heero let out a sigh. He flipped open his cell and dialed a number. He put it on speakers.
"Odin Low Jr. Orphanage."
"Hey Mrs. P?"
"Ah, so glad you called sir."
"Miss Relena Peacecraft and her play have how long on the stage?"
"I thought you were taking care of it."
"I am. But, she won't believe me."
"I see. Miss Peacecraft?"
"Eh...Mrs. Powers?"
"You and your friends unfortunately have only half an hour."
Heero smirked.
"Thanks Mrs. P."
"Your welcome Mr. Lowe. Have a nice day Miss Peacecraft. Mr. Lowe?"
"Please, don't call me so formally."
"Odin, we have some things for you to take care of down here."
"Sure, I'll drop by later. Bye."
Heero turned off his phone and turned to Relena. He smirked.
"Heero, are you that new Odin Lowe Jr. person?"
"Yeah Relena. I am."
"THE Odin Lowe Jr.?"
"Yeah. Odin Lowe took me in when I was little. I took on his name later."
"What do you suggest we do then?"
"Well, we could do Pyramus and Thisbe."
Question marks hovered on everyone's head except Heero's, Quatre's and Trowa's. Quatre, Heero and Trowa sweatdropped.
Heero: You see, Pyramus and Thisbe is very much like Romeo and Juliet.
Quatre: It was in Ovid's Metamorphs. Ovid was an ancient Roman writer who compiled many great stories at the time into one book.
Trowa: So think that Shakespeare got the idea for Romeo and Juliet from Pyramus and Thisbe.
Heero: In fact, Pyramus and Thisbe was the plan used in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. You see Pyramus and Thisbe were lovers as well as neighbors in the ancient Roman times.
Quatre: However, their parents forbade their love like in Romeo and Juliet.
Trowa: So, they decide to run away. One night, they do leave but tragidy occurs.
Heero: A lion appears by their meeting place. Thisbe arrives first.
Quatre: Thisbe, runs away in fear. Leaving her veil behind.
Trowa: The lion plays with it. Before, it had eaten so there was blood there.
Heero: Pyramus saw the bloody veil and assumed the worse. In grief, he kills himself. Thisbe returns as Pyramus is dying. Thisbe then kills herself also.
Duo groaned.
"Romance. EW!"
Heero walked over.
"I'll, make sure so everything works. I'll have more fights, for Wefei, Dorothy and Duo. There will be romance for Relena, Quatre and Hilde. There will be extravagant costumes for Catherine and Noin to design. Short for Trowa, Wefei, Duo and Zechs. And of course, the protecting families for Zechs. Agreed?"
Everyone nodded their heads excited. Heero smiled and turned to leave. Heero stopped and turned back.
"I'll e-mail all the script and info. If you guys have questions on the orphanage, play, whatever, just e-mail me. I have to run so bye guys."
Heero walked out the door. Relena stared at where he once stood.
'What's up? He's changed but this is weird. I like him this way but still. Heero is Odin Lowe Jr., the new bright star in business. Hm...'

Dorothy nodded than proceeded to walk towards the girls. Quatre smiled at Duo and than walked to Trowa. Trowa turned his head and nodded. Quatre smiled and followed Trowa's example to stare out the window.
"SALLY! HURRY UP!"
Wefei bursts into the room wearing his blue tank top, Preventers jacket and blue jeans. Sally was wearing a black long sleeved shirt and black jeans.
Sally nodded towards the boys and Wefei nodded towards the girls. Sally went to join the girls while Wefei walked towards the corner near the door. Then, a laughing Zechs (it's easier to type) and Noin walked in.
