Chapter Seven: Life Ain't Easy
Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or any other anime for that matter, but I wish I did (dreamy ripples) (Demo-chan is sitting in a nice leather chair in a room with anime wallpaper.) (A man wearing a business suit walks in and starts to bow. Man: Oh great boss, I have Zechs's voice actor coming to see you. Demo: Good. Man: We have started to dub Slayers. Demo: (Starts to scream) Don't you EVER dub anything again! Or you will be FIRED! From now on EVERYTHING will be subtitled and in its original version, if you value your jobs!)]
(Dreaming ends) By the way, I don't own anything in Las Vegas either. Oh well, on to the story; did you guys like that cliffhanger?
"Alright, there are seven of us and twenty of them, plus their leader makes twenty-one," Wufei analyzed.
"So each of us would have to take on three men?!?!?" Quatre asked.
"No problem," Heero said lunging towards the nearest man. Heero pushed him down like he was a fly. The man fell back and lost consciousness. Duo quickly followed up by taking out another gang member in one easy stroke. The gang leader began to step back but Zechs grabbed his arm.
"I don't think it is wise mess with us, so why don't you just run off before anyone gets hurt," Zechs said smiling. The gang leader nodded and hurried off with his goons.
"Ah… Zechs," Duo sighed, "why did you have to ruin our fun?"
"We don't have time to mess around with those fools," Zechs stated, "we have to find a place to stay for the night."
"Oh well," Duo said, "I'm sure there are still other fun things to do."
"At least the weather is nice tonight," Quatre commented. As he spoke thunder rumbled in the sky and a downpour of rain fell on to the boys.
"You and your big mouth," Duo replied.
Wufei grunted, "You are one to talk." They began to leave the dark alley all drenched and tired and with no where to stay.
"Really, what did we do to deserve this?" Wufei asked. The thunder rumbled loudly as if in reply. Presently, they passed by a hotel by the name of Bellagio. It gave a lovely display of dancing shooting spurts of water even though it was raining extremely hard and the hotel's lights looked very welcoming and warm.
"Now THAT looks like a nice place to stay," Duo sighed.
"What we need to do is find out the rates of these places and then come up with a way to get some money into our hands," Zechs said.
"That sounds like a pretty good idea," Quatre agreed.
"And it would give us an excuse to stay out of the rain," Duo commented wringing out the water from his braid. So together they slowly made their way closer to the entrance. Entering cautiously the made their way towards the front desk. The place was truly like a castle with marble floors and comfortable couches, towards the back they could spy botanical gardens that seemed like paradise. Yet it was all too good to last. As soon as they entered a security guard disgusted by their wet looks and the water piles they were making came towards them. Anyone of them could easily have taken him on, but they knew that fighting would decrease any chance they had of taking accommodations at the hotel. The security guard rudely shouted at them and kicked them out without listening to their motives of being there.
"Nice city," Duo snorted sarcastically as they walked back into the rain.
"We could stay over there for the night," Zechs pointed to a nice little pavilion located near the hotel but secluded enough that no one would notice them.
"I don't see any other choice," Heero grunted. And thus the seven soaked humans from the future sprinted to the pavilion that might serve some comfort from their current drenched situation. None of them were able to get a sufficient amount of sleep that night, not with the dangerous strikes of lightning or the cacophony of the rolling thunder.
"I can't sleep," Quatre finally sighed.
"What do you want me to do sing you a lullaby?" Wufei snapped back.
"You aren't helping our situation Wufei," Heero said.
"Well neither are you!" Wufei shouted back.
"Will you please just BE QUIET!" Zechs screamed. And as to his command, silence fell until another roll of thunder. Zechs sighed and turned to the sky, "Will you please be quiet too?" But of course, it didn't listen. The night wore on and Duo kept singing, "I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts," but of course everyone was too enervated to say anything to him. The horizon became a light shade of pink as the sun began to rise and the clouds began to break apart. It was still raining but no longer as hard as it was the before.
"Ah, it's morning," Quatre sighed.
"And my ears are ringing from your singing, DUO!" Wufei cried out clasping his ears.
"Hey you!" a voice shouted.
"Oh no! Duck it must be security!" Heero whispered. The others lay low, if they lost their spot here, where else could they go?
