Here's the next part. It's not as long as I wanted it to be, but I promise the
third part will be longer.
--Disclaimer: I own nothing, not Gundamwing not even the picture that I
got the idea for this fic. If I did own them I would rich and famous and
you would all know about it. If you sue me, the most you will get is $.10,
a half eaten box of pokey and a few doujinshi's.
--Pairings: Well Treize *really* wants Zechs, but he isn't getting him (Gomen
Treize! I loves you!) And I'll get around to making it 5x6/6x5 sooner or
later...
--This fic is also AU and OOC so expect strange things.
--Archive: Just tell me where.
--Many many thanks to Mikhyel for editing this thing for me!! ::glomp:: Thank
you!
--Many thanks to Kait-chan (my very good friend) for helping out with idea's and
playing slave driver for me to get this out.
--Side note: In this chapter Wufei does a little talk (and I mean little
^_~) about Mage-Magic. It's more or less based off of the Herald-Mages from
Mercedes Lackey's books, more of "The last Herald-mage" series then anything
else. (stefen to vanyel no kawaii desu!) If you haven't read the books then
no need to worry, all the mage magic will get explained in time. If you
have read them, then feel free to e-mail me if I should make any mistakes,
and trust me I will -_-;; ok enough with the babble and on to the story.
Once upon a Neighborhood 2/?

-------------------
So in that place that's not so long ago and not so far away, we bring you
to where we left off with a confused and pondering Wufei, a happy and excited
Zechs, and a sore-faced Treize...
"It seems that my gifts upset my lovely
Zechs, but it is no wonder. They are ugly compared to the beauty that it
Zechs. Surely there is a gift out there that is worthy of his glory."
Treize? Shut up. Now, to continue. I bring you to the next day, dawn.
Being the ever-early riser, Wufei was out and about around dawn. Walking
out in his cute little cotton baggy PJ's, Wufei was among the branches to
watch the sun rise. As the sun rose up, he gave a small yawn and stretched
out...
"You look so cute when you do that."
Wufei was not expecting
any voice this morning, let alone a beautiful tenor complementing him on
his cuteness. And when he popped his eyes open and found two rather large
ice blue eyes, he fell on his little rump, making a rubber-ducky squeaky
noise. Then, as would be expected in a situation such as this, Wufei glared
at Zechs.
"Good morning! I just came by to see if you were ready to come
over today!"
Zechs, for once in his life, was being a slight blond this
morning. He was in such a state of 'excitement' to talk to Wufei, he forgot
to give him his two hour period. Wufei, was not happy with this.
He crossed
his little arms and glared yet again; this didn't do much other then make
him look cuter.
"I think not, Zechs, not for another two hours anyway.
I just got up, I want to eat, I want to take a shower, I want my two hours!"
This of course brought on an almost impossible, well, impossible to imagine
anyway, chibi-like manner to Zechs' face. This making him seem so utterly
adorable, Wufei... gave in.
"*sigh* Fine... give my 10 minutes to get
dressed."
"Yay! I'll be waiting, I cooked breakfast."
Zechs, being Zechs,
just stood there and smiled as Wufei walked back into his hole... er, tree
house home.
"I made pancakes and maple syrup and toast and orange juice
and..."
And from out of nowhere an acorn hit Zechs on the head.
---------
Well, after a short while of Wufei trying to get ready with a still chibi
Zechs waiting, they soon arrived at Zechs' home via 'Zechs-shoulder-squirrel-deliver-service'.
Zechs, being the ever-gracious host that he was, had offered Wufei a chair,
with pillows to sit on, of course. Along with a tiny cup of orange juice,
which was turned down. It seemed it was too early in the morning for anything
but coffee for the squirrel.
After sitting down, there was a long drawn
out, awkward silence between the two. Mostly due to the fact that author
was running out of ideas.
Zechs stared at Wufei, who drank his coffee
and stared right back at Zechs. This continued until Zechs decided that
he should break the silence.
"I didn't decide anything. You're just making
me do this because you have no clue what to write."
You do want me to
figure out if I have the guts and a way to write that lemon scene with Wufei,
don't you?
"*rapid nod* Yes."
*the sound of a squirrel choking on coffee*
Then get to it, boy.
"Yes... so, um... Wufei... how has your day been?"
Wufei, having recovered from choking on his coffee rather quickly, proceeded
to tell Zechs just how his day was going. It involved waking up, walking
outside and getting scared by a beautiful blond, we can't forget the beautiful
blond part, and then being carted off.
"Sounds pretty good to me."
Wufei,
well, just *looked* at Zechs, and Zechs, well, he couldn't get the "beautiful
blond" line out of his head.
"Well, then, how was your day?"
"Same old
same old. Wake up, fend off Treize while trying to get the newspaper. Erase
the 10 some odd phone messages he sent last night, but then this really
great thing happened."
Wufei, was curious as a cat, even though he was
a squirrel and didn't like cats much cause they tried to eat him - it was
*very* bad when they wanted to eat him. Back to the point, he was curious,
he raised an eyebrow and leaned forward.
"I walked around by backyard
and saw the cutest squirrel in his PJ's, hair all messed up, looking so
adorable and yawning."
Wufei blushed a bit, Zechs grinned, and the author
was feeling good about herself. Zechs did the usual host thing, picked up
the plates after Wufei was done eating, mostly out of the fact that Wufei
would never be able to put them in the sink, but still it was what a good
host was supposed to do.
"What do you do for a living, Wufei?"
"I'm
a squirrel, not much else to it."
Zechs, thinking that there has to be
more of a life then "I'm a squirrel," decided to press the issue.
"Just
a squirrel?"
"It's not like they have job openings for 'small, furry and
squirrelly.' There isn't much else for me to do. Although..."
"Yeeees?"
Wufei, who looked like he was looking for the words to say something, also
seemed to be having a hard time finding them. Words were just like that
sometimes.
"You see... I'm not really normal, so the normal all-around
squirrel rules don't really apply to me."
"Squirrels have rules?"
Zechs
found this to be a bit... strange, that's the word. Who ever heard of squirrels
having rules? Not him, that's for sure.
"Of course we have rules, everyone
does. Don't you have rules that apply to you as a mage? Like no reading
people's minds, assuming you have mind-magic, of course. And about using
your mage skills and getting backlash from it. Of course, that's not really
a rule, more like a way to save yourself a huge headache, but that's beside
the point. You have rules and so do squirrels."
This was a new development.
Not that squirrels had rules, but that Wufei was aware of mage skills. Of
course people knew about them, but knowing just what they were, now that
was a different story. He wanted to ask, but decided, wisely, to leave it
for now.
"Well, being "special" and all that, means that I have an advantage.
And well, lets just say most squirrels don't talk human, *mumble* ...and
read, ok?"
So, talking... "human" it seems, was not common among squirrels.
This reading thing seemed a bit new too and just what was that mumble? Zechs
really, really wanted to know. It was in his nature to be curious, you had
to be when you're a mage, you needed that just to find out if you even were
a mage to being with, then the all the studying about it... *ahem* Back
to what I was saying, Zechs really wanted to know what that *mumble* was.
"So, squirrels don't talk human, read *or* mumble... interesting..."
Wufei
wasn't that happy about being mocked, he *really* didn't want to tell Zechs
just what that mumble was, so he ignored it and continued on.
"What I
do really doesn't have a word, not in human anyway. It's sort of a Librarian
and never forgetting anything..."
"Anything?"
"Yes, anything."
"How
does this all come together?"
"I read everything and anything, and those
who needed information asked me."
"You mean like one of those information
booths at Disneyland?"
"No! ...well, not really, I was asked mostly by
mages and historians of the sort, so they didn't have to go and look up
the stuff on their own."
Now that made sense as to why Wufei knew about
mage skills. He thought he remembered hearing about something like that..
well, beings, since Wufei wasn't a thing. And now he wanted to know what
was this past tense thing?
"That's makes sense, but what is with the past
tense?"
Wufei took on a sad expression and looked at his half empty tiny
cup of coffee.
"I loved my job, I really did. Reading was the best thing
in my life, but..."
Now Wufei was starting to look a bit peeved, his tiny
eyebrows scrunched together and his big black eyes squinted.
"They didn't
really like me, though; they thought all I was there for was to look up
stuff for them. I'm not supposed to have a mind of my own, to them at least."
Zechs, for his part, was keeping very quiet. He watched and listened as
Wufei's face kept on changing from angry to sad and back again. Wufei continued
on with his story, telling Zechs how he was treated like some stupid creature
that could only repeat things on command and was looked down upon, never
able to voice his opinion on *anything* at all. Then on he just up and left,
the one thing he loved.
"It was the only library I had access to, I can't
get any books anymore, so now I'm just a squirrel."
Wufei took on his
calm expression once again and turned to look at Zechs. And Zechs was thinking
of something that would cheer Wufei up to no end, but first, they were going
out for ice cream and Zechs told Wufei so and picked him up, placed him
on his shoulder and walked out.
