Disclaimer: I no own 'em (but I'm getting good at drawing them all Chibi- fied ^_^)
Notes: Umm, I came up with this 'cause my birthday is on Oct. 10 & my best friend's is on Oct. 14,so I was just in a party mood ^_^ (thinking of all the Trigun goodies & general partying crap I'll have soon!) I hope to have this posted ON my b-day, but..We'll see if the computer gods let me on, ne?
This is the first part of my chibi-series. No spoilers, just unusualness and harmless fluff (my usual forte, besides angst, that is). R&R, onegai?
Vash woke up in his usual black & white long-sleeve pjs, with a smile on his face and his hair all cute and scruffy (like in the 'Quick Draw' ep. ^_^). He had hardly slept through the night, thinking about what today was. Humming a little tune ('Sound Life'), he showered and dressed for the day, then set out to do a bit of special shopping. He had the whole day planned out perfectly; nothing could ruin it. At least, that was the theory, anyway..
He was so excited when he hooked up with the Insurance Girls outside an ice cream/food shop; he was practically floating on his own cloud of happy thoughts. He never noticed Kuroneko trot across his oblivious path, carrying a bulky shopping bag in both arms.
'Why are YOU so happy?'Meryl asked, suspiciously as she narrowed her eyes at him. He's up to something, I just know it! she thought. Milly was devouring yet another vanilla pudding cup as she stood nearby.
Grinning widely, Vash replied,'Today's gonna be really fun, you guys will love it! See, I bought stuff specifically for the occasion.'He reached in the bag and held up the respective items.'Cards, beachtowels, I even got sunscreen & shades for you and that's not all..'
Meryl cut him off by holding up a hand and snarling,'Wait a minute, bristle-head! We don't have time to play today. SOME of us have work to do and Milly wants to find Wolfwood.He's around town somewhere, so maybe HE can spare the time to put up with you.'
Stricken, Vash's eyes tear up, then he starts to cry little anime- fountains. Kuroneko, nearby, hides under a tiny umbrella (don't ask) and says 'Myaa!'
'B-but it's my birthday! It's my birthday and my own Insurance Girls don't even wanna hang out with me!'he whines.
Meryl is exasperated, a vein throbbing on her head, fists clenched as she tries not to just start shaking him just to hear his head rattle. Sweatdropping nervously, Milly steps in to soothe Vash's feelings and prevent her sempai from losing it.
'I have an idea, Vash-san! Why don't you meet us back here in a few hours? We should be free to have fun then, okay?'she suggested.
Brightening instantly, he replied,'Yosh! I can't wait! Have fun with your paperwork, ja ne!'He wandered off with visions of party stuff dancing in his head, like pointy hats and little firecracker poppers shooting their streamers out. He couldn't help giggling and Meryl sighed.
She then raised a brow to Milly, who had an innocent look on her face.
'Did YOU know today was his birthday?'she asked her.
'No, Sempai,'Milly replied.
'Well, what are we going to do about it?'she asked.
'I haven't got a clue, Sempai,'Milly said with a smile. Meryl face- faulted at that one. Sometimes her tall partner could be very vapid..
Later that day, Vash brought his goodie bag back to meet the girls, but was crestfallen when he didn't find them waiting for him. Sad and disappointed, he went off to try and have fun anyway. It IS my birthday, after all..he thought. He tried to find Nicholas, thinking that maybe the day could be salvaged somehow, but no luck.
Feeling pretty ditched by now; he stalked off to have fun by himself. He found a sandy spot by a little pool and set up an umbrella and beachtowel. Then, hiding modestly behind a convenient pile of boulders, he changed into his new swimtrunks (they had little donuts on them ^_^) Sighing, he tossed a small ball around for a bit, thinkingOkay, they'll find me here. I'm kinda hard to lose. Not to mention how many freaking pools are there on Gunsmoke? . Then, he hung out in the shallow water, resting his chin and folded arms on the edge.
After a while of soaking, he decided to get out before he got too pruned or crispy and parked it on the towel. Slapping on some sunscreen and pushing up his amber shades, he played solitaire for a while. He hoped his friends would hurry up and say 'Hey, we wouldn't forget you, baka!'Eventually he gave in and stretched out on his towel to nosh the salmon sandwiches in his bento box he'd brought with. There was one for each of his friends, too, but he guessed they'd have to eat 'em later..
Close to sundown, a heartbroken outlaw came back into town, fully clothed and with a little gray cloud over his head. As he passed the ice cream/food shop, Milly ran out to him, calling 'Vash-san, where've you BEEN? We've been looking for you all day!'
Still sulky, Vash replied, a little sarcastically,'I waited but you guys never showed, so I went to the 'beach' by myself. I even wore my new 'trunks and - and there were sandwiches..'He looked like he would cry again. Quickly, Milly, joined by Meryl, led him inside.
'Come on now, Vash-san, we're sorry. Let's get some ice cream,'Milly offered.
'Okay..'Vash said, still cloudy.
'You won't regret it,'Meryl told him, smirking a bit.
Once inside, Vash brightened like a sixty-watt bulb, grinning at what he saw. At a table was Wolfwood, waving to him as he smoked.
'Hey, Tongari! Happy birthday!'He gestured to the table, laid out with a big plate of donuts, a little sign stuck into one of them that read 'Happy Birthday, Vash!'There were also three presents for him on a chair near Nick.
'Waii! Thanks, guys! I've got something for you, too!'He rummaged in the bag and handed them each a bento box. They accepted with slightly nervous grins, briefly wondering if Vash had made them or not. He may have a cast-iron stomach, but they sure didn't!
They shrugged and sat around with him and dug in while he opened his gifts: a kawaii plush puppy from Milly, a new hair brush from Meryl (a coupon for ½ off a bottle of hair gel attached) and a 'Gun Care for Dummies' kit from Nicholas.Grinning and laughing at the goofy blonde, they watched him mow through his donut feast.
'Waii! So many varieties, so little time! This is the best (gulp) birthday ever!'he said, in between bites.'Let's do this again (gulp)next year!'
*OWARI*
Well, how was it? Did you get cavities? (hey, it only comes once a year,why not let Vash enjoy it for a change?Without getting shot at or mentally f'd over,that is.)Should I continue? Let me know, okay? Also, does anyone have any ideas for Legato? (my friend is a Legato-phile & I want to do a fluff piece for her) He'd make a scary chibi, wouldn't he? 0.o
