Camelot: GW Style (Act 2)
I have no affiliation with the epic of Camelot or Gundam Wing. They belong to respective parties and in people's hearts.
(Curtain rises: We see Heero sitting on a stool playing a harp while Relena watches and listens… Let's watch… shall we?)
Heero sings something in French that I don't understand… It's called "The Madrigal" for anyone who's interested…
"Did you write that, Heero?" Relena asked, "Why do you always write about YOU? Why can't you write anything about me?"
Heero looked at her and chuckled, "I can't write anything about YOU!!" quickly he corrects himself at the sight of her angry face, "I love you too much…" She smiled. As soon as she smiled, he felt a tugging in his nerves. He heard his conscience speaking to him. "I should go… I should go away and never come back!" He begins to walk away but slows his pace and asks, "How would I?" he ponders for a moment, "How could I leave you?"
Heero sings
If ever I would leave you,
It wouldn't be in summer…
Seeing you in summer, I never would go!
Your hair streaked with sunlight,
Your lips red as flame,
Your face with a luster
That puts gold to shame…
But if I'd ever leave you,
It wouldn't be in autumn…
How I'd leave in autumn, I never would know!
I've seen how you sparkle
When fall nips the air.
I know you in autumn
And I must be there.
Oh would I leave you running merrily through the snow?
Or on a wintry evening when you catch the fire's glow?
If ever I would leave you,
It wouldn't be in springtime!
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so!
Oh no not in springtime,
Summer, winter or fall!
No never could I leave you,
At all!!!!!!
By this time he is standing behind her with his hand on her shoulder. She turns to meet his eyes as he begins to sing again…
If ever I would leave you,
It wouldn't be in springtime!
Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so!
Oh no not in springtime,
Summer, winter or fall!
No never could I leave you,
At all!!!!!!
(Author's note: That's my favorite song in the whole play!!)
Enter Lady Hilde, Relena's best friend and maidservant
"Are you ready to go, Miss Relena?" asked Hilde.
"Huh? Oh! Yes of course… almost forgot about the cattle show." She pauses nervously as if thinking of an excuse to why Heero would be there. "Thank you, Heero, for waiting with me."
"Thank you for allowing me, Miss Relena," he replies.
Exit Hilde and Relena. Heero walks around a bit before excusing himself. Unknown to Heero and Relena a shadow had been watching them. Enter mysterious shadow.
"Ah! The Cinq Kingdom," she exclaims, "Ah me, the chain of wedlock is so heavy, it takes two to carry it! Sometimes three," she says while looking in the direction Heero had gone.
Just then, Quatre and Duo enter looking for Heero
"Heero! Heero! I may have it solved…" he says before noticing the woman who stood before him. Quatre turns to Duo and asks, "I thought Heero was here?"
"He was. You just missed him," the Lady says.
"You are not a member of this court! You were also not announced!" yells Duo.
"But I was announced! Did not the page say that there was a young lady from Scotland here to see the king?" replied the girl.
"And were not told to come back tomorrow afternoon?" Duo fired back.
"I shall be busy tomorrow afternoon," the girl said.
"Such impertinence!" Duo brandishes his gun, "Get out now before I blow your head off!"
"You wouldn't want to do that to the daughter of Queen Leia, now, would you?" the girl was coy and Quatre perked up at the name Queen Leia.
"You're the daughter of Queen Leia?" asked Quatre.
"Yes, milord, I am Mariemeia." Quatre looks as if he's about to faint.
"Leave us, Duo" he gulps.
Exit Duo
"So, Mariemeia, what brings you to the Cinq Kingdom?" asks Quatre.
"A desire of," she thinks a moment, "blood. I have quite an extensive family here in the Cinq Kingdom. There's my aunt, Morgan Le Fey, whom I've never seen…"
"Nor has anyone else," Quatre cut in, "which seems hardly reason enough to make this long journey."
"And then there's you, your Majesty." She mock bows, "I always wondered why King Treize hated me so much so I asked mother to explain it. That's when I found out: he's not my real father. She told me of how one day, she traveled to the Cinq Kingdom where she met a handsome young man by the name of Quatre. She found him rather appealing and –bewitched- him for the night. Is that how the story goes, your majesty?"
"Yes, Mariemeia, that's how the story goes," Quatre said with annoyance in his voice. "Now that you're here, Mariemeia, what are your plans?"
"My plans are whatever you desire them to be."
"Hmmm, I would like you to be inducted in the Pilots of the Round Table. But you must earn your right by virtue and proper deeds. I will be keeping my eye on you, Mariemeia."
Exit Quatre
Mariemeia laughs, "Virtue and proper deed your majesty? Like what? Courage, milord? Purity and humility, my leige? Diligence, charity, honesty, fidelity? The Seven Deadly Virtues? No thank you, your majesty!!"
Mariemeia sings
The seven deadly virtues
Those ghastly little traps!
Oh no milord they weren't meant for me!
The seven deadly virtues
Were made for other chaps,
Who love a life of failure and ennui.
Take courage
Now there's a sport
An invitation to the state of riggemort!
And purity
And noble yen
Are very restful every now and then.
I find humility
Means to be hurt.
It's not the earth the meek inheirit,
It's the dirt!
Honesty is fatal
And should be taboo!
Diligence!
A fate I would hate.
If charity means giving,
I give it to you!
And fidelity is only for your mate!
You'll never find a virtue
Unstatus-ing my quo
Or making my bealzah bubble burst.
Let others take the high road,
I shall take the low.
I cannot wait to rush in
Where angels fear to go.
With all those seven deadly virtues
Free and happy little me has not
Been cursed!
Exit Mariemeia
