I Hate You (Parody of 'I Want You' by Savage Garden)

Disclaimer: (To the tune of 'I Love You, You Love Me...' by Barney)

I don't own

Gundam Wing

So big companies don't sue me please

I don't own Savage Garden

Or their wonderfully-written songs

Won't you please review my work?

A/N: I like "Rebel' best. I think most people liked that better, too. But this...isn't so bad. I guess this takes second place. Or something like that.

Ooh... Someone asked me to do a Savage Garden parody. Ami, I think? Here ya go.

Other stuff: Relena bashing. Hmm. Why do all my parodies seem to have those two ubiquitous words? Anyway, as always, you've been warned. So no flaming, please. Flames make my skin break out in huge, red blisters.

(A few months after Zechs checks himself out of rehab, he consents to direct another video for our Gundam pilots. From this point, he's the director, Noin's the assistant, and Nichol is still the cameraman.)

Zechs: Lucrezia, get the hospital. Tell them to have an ambulance standing outside the studio in case I suffer a heart attack or a seizure. Get me a few tons of Prozac, a few kilos of the finest pot, a couple cartons of smokes, and a few kegs of beer. Can you do all that?

Noin: Yeah, duh. That's what you don't pay me for.

Zechs: And while you're at it, make your name shorter. Why the hell did your parents name you Lucrezia?

Can't they have followed the whole number scheme? Couldn't they have named you Uno, Dos, or Tres?

Something less outrageous than Lucrezia?

Noin: ::sigh:: I guess I'm directing this sorry video. SECURITY!

(A few burly guards rush in and evacuate Zechs. Okay, they locked him in the ladies' room.)

Noin: Stop fooling around with the fucking vending machine and start warbling, ya loonies!

(Gundam pilots automatically stop jiggling, punching, kicking, and headbutting the softdrink vending machine and rush over to Noin.)

Wufei: Darn. No free drinks.

Noin: I'll show you babies how to jiggle the damn thing properly later. Now croon, ya washed-up middle-aged saps!

Quatre (protesting): Miss Noin, I'm only 17!

Noin: And I'm 21. Shut up. Who's the lead singer for this one?

Heero (sullenly): Me. Again. The authoress seems to be quite partial to me.

Mandelarae (from out of nowhere): I DO NOT! I LIKE QUATRE BEST BECAUSE HE LOOKS LIKE EDWARD NORTON!!!!!!!!

(Quatre blushes)

Mandelarae (shrugging): Well, he does.

Heero: Damn.

Noin: Sing.

(She signals to Nichol to roll tape. Heero positions himself in a metal contraption that projects his face on a huge screen)

Heero: Anytime I need to see your face

I just close my eyes

And I am taken to a place where

I am blind and

Suicidal feelings take up shelter

In the base of my spine

Bittersweet like Quatre's Earl Grey Tea

I don't want to try and explain

I just fasten my seatbelt tight

And if it you chase me I might move

So quickly

To the deepest, darkest most remote corners

Of the world

I need to, I want to

Get away from you

Go stand in that corner

Breathe in the carbon monoxide, get a bit higher

You'll never know what hit you

When I get someone to kill you

All pilots: Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Heero: I'm the kind of person who says screw a deep commitment

Getting comfy, getting perfect,

A life without you is what I'm living for

You come in the door

I'm on the floor

I pray to God that you don't see me crawling out the fire escape

Eluding you has a time and place

In the interaction of a soldier and a lunatic

But the time of talking

Using symbols, using middle fingers,

Can be likened to a mobile suit pilot

With all his shields down

Go stand in that corner

Breathe in the carbon monoxide, get a bit higher.

You'll never know what hit you

When I get someone to kill you

All pilots: Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Heero: Anytime I need to see your face

I just close my eyes

And I am taken to a place where

I am blind and

Suicidal feelings take up shelter

In the base of my spine

Bittersweet like Quatre's Earl Grey Tea

I don't want to try and explain

I just fasten my seatbelt tight

And if it you chase me I might move

So quickly

To the deepest, darkest most remote corners

Of the world

I need to, I want to

Get away from you

All pilots: Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Ooh, I hate you

I know that I don't need you

But ooh, I wouldn't die to find out

Get the hell away from me, don't wanna find out...

(Noin signals to Nichol to cut, and the video's over.)

Noin (to pilots): I don't know what Zechs finds hard in directing a video! You guys were SO well behaved!

(All pilots cross their fingers behind their backs and nod energetically.)
