I don't own any of the characters in Gundam wing, and I don't own the song, "Fancy" by Reba McEntire. (For some reason...my story got all screwed up so I had to take it off then post it back on. Thanks for all of those people that Reviewed before.)
chapter3- The Arrival
copyright: July 27, 2001
"Are we there yet?" asked Duo
"No...It will be a little longer Duo..."
"How much longer?" he asked
"A few hours...longer if we keep making stops to eat." said Quatre
"Fine..." said Duo as he sank into his seat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"When Is that guy going to get here?" said Relena angrily
"He's coming Relena...you just have to be patient."
"I had to get up for this?" asked Dorothy just coming threw the doors. "I'm going back to bed..." she said as she turned around
"Dorothy! It's 4:00 in the afternoon...we open in 2 hours...and we have to go shopping for food and more alcohol." said Hildie with her arms across her chest.
"In two hours...where's the DJ?" asked Dorothy
"That's who were waiting for...I swear If he doesn't bring Sammy back...I'll hunt him down and kill him" said Relena threw clenched teeth
"Well...you guys might want to get dressed...I'll stay down here until you come down. k?" asked Hildie
"fine" said Relena as she stomped up the stairs.
Once she was finished getting dressed, she decided to go out with Dorothy for a while. Just as she got down the stairs, she heard the familiar sound of barking in the house.
"Sammie!" screamed Relena as she ran threw the doors to her husky. Relena only acted like a sweet person only with her dog.
"You were late!" she said to the DJ.
"Well Relli...I got here." said the DJ
"John...you are so lucky that I put up with you. Your the only DJ that I trust, so don't blow it."
"Ok...sheesh...I'm gunna set up...now" he said as he made his way to the stage that was behind the tables, at the opposite end of the bar table.
"Where's Sally and Catherine?" asked Dorothy
"They are buying food and alcohol." responded Hildie
"When did they leave?" asked Relena
"When you guys went upstairs to change." said Hildie
"oh...well Relena and I are going to go out for a while...you wanna' come?" asked Dorothy
"Shop till I drop?" asked Hildie
"As always" said Relena with a sly smile on her face as she pulled out a credit card
"Your gunna' max out your brother's credit card again aren't you? And how did you get him to give it to you?" asked Hildie
"Yep! and I didn't really ask." said Relena with a smile playing on her face
"You need to stop pick-pocketing people Relena! Especially your brother!" said Hildie as she folded her arms across her chest
"It's fine...he won't miss it." said Relena
"fine...lets go." said Hildie as they walked out the door

15 minutes till opening:
"Were home!" yelled all three of them carrying heavy bags in their arms.
"Sally! did ya get anythin' good?" asked Relena as she dropped her bags and walked to the bar looking at the assortment of alcohol
"Yep...and I have a feeling that its going to be a looonnngggg night." said Sally as she sat on the bar counter
"I guess your right...Well...lets take these upstairs." said Relena as she took her bags to her room.

5 hours later; 11:00:
"Now ladies and genital men...the moment you've all been waiting for...its time for the dancing bitches!" said John as he pointed to the bar. Just then Quatre and the guys walked into the bar. What they saw astonished them. It didn't shock Quatre that much because he already knew what his cousin did for a living. They saw the girls hop onto the table and started dancing. *stomp* *Click* *turn*. Then they started dancing around a pole. One at a time. Nearing the end of the song, they took of their shirts revealing their black sports braw's, jumped off the table and landed with their legs crossed sitting down on the counter.
"Well...are we going to say hi?" asked Duo
"We'll wait till everyone leaves" said Quatre as he took a seat.

2 hours later (1:00 am)
"Ok! now its time for the audience to pick the song for the girls to do! And which girl do you want to sing it. Now...everyone come over here and put your name in the bag and which girl you want to sing." said Johnny as he picked up a bag. After everyone put their names in the bag, he picked one.
"Alright. So...Jack Holson picked the song 'fancy' and he wants Relena to sing it." said John as he read the little piece of paper. "Hey how long do you think it will take to set up?" asked John as he looked at the girls.
"5?......yah ok...5 minutes John!" said Hildie

5 minutes later:
you can here the music in the background;
Relena jumped on the table with a microphone in her hand.
I remember it all very well lookin back,
it was the summer I turned 18;
We lived in a one roomed run down shack,
on the outskirts of new Orleans...
We didn't have money for food or rent,
to say the least we were hard pressed;
Relena swung around the pole and walked down the isle.
And mama spent every last penny we had,
to buy me a dancing dress.
Mama washed, and combed,
and curled my hair;
and she painted my eyes and lips (lips)
then I stepped into the satin dancing dress,
it hade a split from the side clean up to my hip.
Sally jumped onto the table wearing a red, tight dress and started dancing.
It was red; velvet trim and it fit me good.
She standed back from the looking glass,
there stood a woman with a half grown tear had stood:
Dorothy jumped onto the bar table wearing rags (the momma)
She said "here's your one chance, Fancy don't let me
down."
she said "here's your one chance, Fancy don't let me down."
Momma dabbed a little perfume on my neck, and she kissed
my cheek;
and then I saw the tears welled up in her troubled eyes
as she started to speak:
She looked at our pitiful shack,
and then she looked at me and took a raged breath;
She said "your paws runned off, and I'm
real sick,
and the baby's gunna starve to death"
she had a me a heart she blocked it said, to thy own self be true.
and I shivered as I watched a roach crawled across the toe of my high heel shoe;
it sounded like somebody else that was talkin, askin
"mama what do I do?"
she said, "just be nice to the genital men, Fancy, they'll be nice to
you."
she said "here's your one chance, Fancy don't let me down.
here's your one chance, Fancy don't let me down.
lord...forgive me for what I do,
well here on out its up to you.
now don't let me down now your momma's gunna move you up town.
well that was the last time I saw my mom and I left that rickety
shack.
the well fair people came and took the baby,
momma died in a haven back.
But the wheels of fait, started to turn,
and for me there was no way out.
Dorothy collapsed off the table backwards, and Hildie, Catherine, and Lisa caught her.
Wasn't very long till I knew exactly what my momma been
talkin about.
I knew what I had to do,
and I made myself a silent vow
I was gunna be a lady someday,
though I didn't know when or how.
but I couldn't see spendin the rest of my life,
with my head hung down in shame.
You know I might have been born just plain white trash,
but fancy was my name!
she said, "here's your one chance, fancy don't let me
down."
she said "here's your one chance, fancy don't let me down.
Hildie jumped onto the table wearing a suit and a hat. She grabbed Sally's hand and they started dancing.
It wasn't long after, a benevolent man took me in off the
streets.
one week later I was born his kid, in a 5 room hotel sweet. (yes she was)
I charmed a King, a congress-man, an occasional aristocrat
Then I got me Georgian Mansion
and an elegant New York town house (yah, babe)
Now in this world there's allot of self riches,
hypocrites they called me bad.
and criticize momma for turning' me out no matter how little we had
But though I ain't had to worry 'bout nothin now or 15
years,
but I can still hear the desperation in my poor momma's voice ringin' in my ears
"Here's your one chance, fancy don't let me down.
oh...here's your one chance fancy don't let me down.
lord...forgive me for what I do, but here on out its up to you
now don't let me down hunny, your momma's gunna move you up town."
oh I guess she did...
Once they finished, there was a loud cheer in the bar. Then more people came up to get drinks.
"What was the point of that?" asked Trowa
"Well...somehow it gets the people to give the girls a tip and to buy more drinks. And it's fun." said Quatre
"Good idea" said Duo as he looked at the people crowding around the bar.
"I don't think so. I think its childish and weak. Then it brings dishonor to be working here and doing such...things." said Wufei as he crossed his arms across his chest.
"Hey! Heero is Silvia coming?" asked Duo
"Yah...why?" asked Heero
"Well for one, she practically lives in your room...and two, I was just wondering." said Duo as he turned his back to Heero. He just glared at the back of Duo's head.
"That won't work Heero 'cuz I can't see your face...hey Quatre, what are the other girls names?" asked Duo as he looked at.
"Well I really don't know..." said Quatre.
"What! What do you mean you don't know?" asked Duo
"I haven't seen Relena since we were 15, and that was what...6 years ago." said Quatre
"UGH! I wanted you to tell me the 411 on those girls! Especially that one with the short raven hair." said Duo as he started to stare at Hildie.
"Oh...well that's Hildie." said Quatre as everyone looked at Quatre
"Well...I just know those two! And if you want to know who they are so badly you can ask them yourself!" snapped Quatre.
"Ok...fine man take it easy..." said Duo as he sank into his seat.
***
An hour later:
"Excuse me!" said Lisa. "Excuse me! Can I have your attention!" she repeated.
"Let me try Lees." said Relena as she got up onto the table. She looked around and yelled "HEY!" everyone stopped what they were doing and she continued. "It's 2:00! Now Get The HELL OUT OF MY BAR!" she yelled. Then everyone started to leave, but one man had to make it difficult.
"I have rights! you can't force me to do anything I don't want to!" said a man
"That's the man that smashed that beer bottle on Hildie's hand." whispered Dorothy to Relena.
"Hnn...Do you want me to repeat what I just said?" said Relena
"I heard ya! But I'm not going anywhere." said the man. Relena jumped off the bar and walked over to the man
"Did you hurt my friend?" she asked
"Yah...so?" asked the man
"Well...If you don't leave I'll have to hurt you." said Relena in a cold tone
"You'll do what? Slap me? hahahahaha" said the man. Relena then pulled out a gun, took the safety off and pointed it right in between his legs.
"No...I'll end your reproduction capabilities." said Relena in a dangerous tone
"You wouldn't" said the man
"Watch me" she said
Everyone in the bar looked at Relena and the man. His eyes were closed. He then opened them and looked at the whole right next to his *ahem*. He sighed in relief.
"Now get out of my bar or I'll make sure I don't miss next time." she hissed
"um...ok.." said the shaky man as he ran out of the bar.
~
"Hahahahaha! Gods Quatre...she reminds me of Heero. HAHAHAHA!"
"Yah...I know..." said Quatre in a sad tone
"Quatre!" said Duo. when he didn't respond he repeated "Quatre!" then again "Quatre!!!"
"Huh? yah? did you say something?"
"I said that she Reminded me of Heero and you just dazed out. what were you thinking of?" said Duo
"Well...she's Rena...my cousin...and I was just thinking about....oh never mind." said Quatre as he walked up to Relena, everyone followed.
~
Quatre walked up to Relena as she was putting away some beer bottles. "Hey Relena! Long time no see!" he said.........
