Disclaimer: Slight Shounen Ai, major Relena bashing, lots of
cursing, OCC-ness, weird pairings, cross dressing and a plot… somewhere.
It was chaos. Madness.
Insanity. Servants, chefs and workers ran like crazy through the palace halls
delivering letters, making guests lists and decorating the grand ballroom for
tonight's celebration. They were so excited that they all felt like singing…
but this isn't Disney so lets skip that part. In the giant kitchen dozens of
chefs were busy making appetizers, preparing insane amounts of gourmet meals
and decorating cakes, honey buns and every other of dessert known to man.
Hiding
behind one of the giant pots was Dorothy, her cheeks flushed and a sly grin on
her strangely calm face. She gazed towards a group of large serving bowls
filled with different drinks that sat on a table in the far corner. She looked
around and saw that all the chefs had mysteriously vanished.
'Good.
Now I can work in peace… and soon… soon he will be mine!' she thought as
hastily made her way up to the table pulling a large box full of liquor bottles
behind her.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero
looked miserably at his reflection in the mirror. He was wearing a dark blue
tux with matching cummerbund and a black tie. He tugged at it in annoyance as
his... mother appeared behind him, a satisfied look on her face.
"Well,
at least you now look like a prince. Lets see if you can manage to act
accordingly as well" she said and walked out of the room. Heero scowled at his
reflection, which in return flashed him an amused grin. "You brought it on
yourself, you know" it said.
"Shut
up".
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cinderduo
grinned as he put the finishing touches to his black (obvious, ne?) suit and
winked at his reflection in the mirror. "It just can't get any better than
this" he said, and then thought about Heero, strawberries and lots of chocolate
and quickly changed his mind. He sighed
contently, brushed back his bangs away from his blue-violet eyes and skipped
happily out of his room and down the stairs.
"Relena-san!"
Relena,
who was sitting in the drawing room reading a pop-up book at the time, sighed
in annoyance and looked up at the grinning boy who stood at the door.
"What
do you wa- whoa…"
"Like
the suit? It was tousan's. I had to alter it a little because he was a little
shorter but…" he babbled happily as he pointed to each part, his smile wide and
his braid flying around behind him. Relena scowled.
'That
damn boy… he's becoming a real pest… and he looks way better than I'll ever
look… how can I get rid of him…?' She snapped her fingers. 'I got it!' and ran
into the kitchen. The boy's face showed confusion. 'What's she doing now?' He
thought as he looked towards the kitchen doors. His curiosity got the better of
him and he decided to go check.
"Relen-"
CLANK!
"Itai!
What the hell are you-"
CLANK!
CLANK!
The
young boy's limp body fell to the floor with a thud. Relena stood over him,
laughing victoriously, holding up a large frying pan in her hand. "Now I will
have my darling Heero all to myself!!!" and pulled out of god knows where a
stack of rope, scissors and began to work.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cinderduo groaned in
pain. His head throbbed like hell and he couldn't move an inch. He slowly
opened his eyes and sat up. He looked around the small space and found himself
tied with rope in his room… and naked.
"What the hell is wrong
with that bitch?" he screamed, squirming, trying to untie himself with no
avail. After a few minutes of wasted struggle he sighed and lay back down, his
eyes angrily fixed on the old roof, planning a slow and painful death for his
stepmother. Then it hit him. He wasn't going to be able to see Heero. He
frowned and tears began to well up in his eyes. He closed them, trying
desperately to not let them escape when…
THUMP!
"Oof! K'so…"
He heard the thumping
(and cursing) grow stronger each time but ignored it and went back to his
self-pity when the door opened abruptly. He felt 'it' walking up towards him
then stop just a few feet from his body.
"Oi."
"Leave me alone!"
"…This is going to be
harder than I thought," sighed the gruff voice. Cinderduo looked up at the tall
figure and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. Standing in front of him
was Zechs in a long pink and black dress with lots of frills (and I mean a
lot), a diamond studded tiara placed on top of his beautifully combed blonde
hair and holding a silver wand with a star on top in his hand. Behind him stood
Tomoyo, video camera in hand and a smile on her face. "Zechs-san looks so
kawaii! But Sakura-chan would look even cuter!"
Cinderduo blinked a few
times at the strange occurrence in front of him and concluded that he was
officially insane. But decided to go along with it.
"Anou… who are you? And
why are you dressed like that?"
"I'm your Fairy
Godmother. As for the dress… blame the author."
"Who?"
"Never
mind. Anyway, I'm here to help you get to the ball." Cinderduo's eyes sparkled
with joy. "Honto ni?!?" Zechs nodded and
with a small wave of the wand Cinderduo was untied and standing… and still very
much naked. Zechs blushed slightly and turned his head, his face pensive but
funny looking with his cheeks a light red.
"Now lets see," he
started, "first thing we have to do is give you some clothes. Surely you can't
go like that…" he blushed again and turned to the shorter boy in front of him.
He said some fancy magic words in a foreign tongue (which sounded a lot like
pig Latin) and a white light engulfed Cinderduo. A few moments later, he was
completely covered in the finest shade of purple silk… only one small problem.
It was a dress.
The
young boy gawked at the beautifully layered dress, decked out with small
diamonds around his neck and wrists and his long chestnut hair pulled up, his
bangs covering just a little his eyes. On his feet he wore a pair of high and very
uncomfortable glass shoes. Zechs
coughed. Cinderduo's jaw dropped even further. A cricket chirped outside.
"What
in the Hell is this?!?" he finally said. Zechs looked at him with an
expressionless face. "A dress, of course." Cinderduo blinked a few times. "And
do I look like a girl to you?!? Wait, don't answer that…"
Zechs
shrugged. "Hey, I'm just doing my job
here."
"But
can't you do anything about it?"
"Sorry.
They didn't tell me I had to help out a guy this time. I usually get stuck with
women. But if you prefer to go nude…"
"Ok,
I'll take the dress!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It
was hell. It isn't enough to have throngs of giddy teenage girls and guys
swooning and fainting all over you, but drunk, giddy and horny teenage girls
and guys? Not tolerable. Especially for Heero, who couldn't just take his gun
and blast them all to Hell. The Royal Consorts stood in watch of every move the
young prince made and chances of escape looked bleak. He silently cursed
whoever did this to him and continued to 'mingle' with his 'guests'.
A
small group of girls standing beside him waved at him and giggled
uncontrollably as they blushed in drunken stupor.
"Hn."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Cinderduo
and his Fairy Godmother stood out in the front yard of the house, the full moon
and stars shining brightly in the clear night sky.
"Ok,
I need a pumpkin so I can make the carriage. Got any?" Duo thought for a
second. "Nope. Got an apple, though" he said, pulling it out of who knows
where. "That will do" he said putting the apple on the road. He started to
mumble some more magic words and before their eyes the apple turned into a
splendid carriage with gold wheels and leather seat cushioning.
"Now
with that done, all I need are horses and drivers. Stand back." Cinderduo stood
a few feet back as Zechs moved his wand around and with a poof a group of OZ
soldiers, including Otto, appeared before him. They all stared in disbelief at
their dress and tiara-wearing superior.
"Anou…
Zechs-san…" one soldier started. Otto quickly silenced him. "Better not to
ask." Zechs rubbed his temples in frustration and quickly waved his wad,
turning them all into horses. Then he waved it again, and in a flash Trowa and
Quatre stood in front of them, wearing clean and crisp blue and red tailored
suits with gold trimmings and perplexed looks on their cute faces.
'We
wait for four chapters and THIS is what we get?' Trowa thought, raising one
eyebrow when he saw Cinderduo in a dress and then sighed. Beside him Quatre
stood, sniffling and complaining about how Duo looks cuter than him. He patted
the small boy in comfort.
Zechs
rolled his eyes in annoyance and waved them to the front of the carriage, where
they took the horses' reins. He guided Cinderduo inside the carriage. "Now,
before you go I have to tell you that you have to be back by midnight. That's
when the spell wears off."
"Oh,
you can't be serious!"
"Very.
Now stop complaining and go and enjoy what time you have."
"Goddamn
it! Why midnight? That's when all the good stuff start to happen!"
"I
really didn't need to hear that" he replied and motioned to Trowa. The carriage
sped off down the narrow dirt road on its way to the palace.
