A New Dawn

*This is another straight continuation…so deal with it!!!!! : ) (doesn't that look demented?? Har har har har (ahem))*

Quatre: So, to get on with what happened, before I was rudely interrupted by the 'to be continued', I was outside taking a breather.

Trowa: (nods his head uninterestedly)…mmhmm, and?

Quatre: And so, I looked over and thought, 'Hey! Wouldn't it be great if we added chicken to our menu?'(stands there with cheesy smile waiting for Trowa's reply)

Trowa: (blinks)(looks around)(blinks)…um…do you want the truth??

Quatre: (nods) uh-huh.

Trowa: …well, ya see…I…um…er…let's have an employee's meeting.

Quatre: um…ok! (goes over to the front counter microphone)(yells) ALL MCGUNDAM'S EMPLOYEES! PLEASE REPORT TO THE FRONT COUNTER FOR AN EMPLOYEE'S MEETING.

(all except Heero are present)

Quatre: ok, now let's see who's here. (gets out clipboard) Duo?

Duo: present (raises hand and smiles) I'm back!!!

Quatre: (unenthusiastically) uh-huh, that's very nice Duo. Now, Trowa?

Trowa: (nods his head)

Quatre: (eyes glued to clipboard)…Trowa??

Trowa: (nods his head)

Quatre: (getting angrier)(still not looking up) TROWA??

Trowa: (continually nods his head)

Quatre: (looks up from clipboard with fire in his eyes)Whe-(sees Trowa nodding his head)………………………………………….(sighs) I can't hear your brain rattle Trowa.

Trowa: (nods his head)

Duo: (whispers to Zechs) I think he breathed in too much cleaner while cleaning the front counter…either that or he's sleep deprived.

Zechs: (is admiring helmet in reflection from front counter)…oh how lovely! (realization sets in) Oh I'm sorry Duo, did you say something?

Duo: (sighs) no.

Zechs: Ok then! (goes back to admiring his helmet)

Duo: (whispers to self) He's way too happy…

Quatre: Ok, moving on. Wufei?

Wufei: (is sitting on a chair continually glancing around)…they should be around here…

Quatre: (is getting horribly agitated) Wufei!!

Wufei: (snaps out of it) huh?!

Quatre: ARE YOU HERE WUFEI??

Wufei: (backs down)(sqeaks) Yes. Darn, he's cranky when he doesn't get his coffee!

Quatre: I HEARD THAT!! AND I AM NOT, I REPEAT NOT CRANKY!!!!!!!!!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND!!

(all nod and roll eyes)

Quatre: (smiles) Now that we have that settled, Zechs?

Zechs: (sings) I'm hee-eere!! (to self) and so are you my pretty! (pats helmet)

Quatre: ooooook, last but not least, Heero??

Quatre: …is Heero here??

(silent still remains)

Quatre: hm…that's strange Heero isn't here.

__In Freezer__

Heero: (looks around)…(sighs)…one…two…(starts to count spots on ceiling)

__Back outside at employee's meeting__

Quatre: …does anyone know where Heero is?

Duo: (crazed maniac look)(snaps) no!

Duo: (still has crazed maniac look on face)(chuckles a little but stops)

Quatre: …now Duo…

Duo: (snaps) yes!

Quatre: Do you know where Heero is??

Duo: (snaps) No no!! Why would I know! Yes, yes, why would I know?!

Quatre: …That's it boys…get the tape.

__A couple of minutes later__

Duo: NO NO! LET ME GO! YES YES YOU WILL! (is tied to chair with duck tape)

Quatre: now Duo…where's Heero?

Duo: (smiles evily) I know not!

Quatre: …(sighs)(snaps fingers and Wufei comes in with a pair of hedge clippers)(says slowly) Now Duo…I will ask you again…and if you don't answer with the truth then…(Wufei smiles evily and cuts air with scissors)

Duo: (screams) NOO! YOU MUST NOT!! I LOVE..well what's left of…MY BRAID YES! AND I WILL NOT TELL! EVIL IS HEERO! (looks around)yes yes!! Evil Evil!!!
