"Fun with Staple Guns"
By Magic and the Little Fairy From Nam
Trinity couldn't help feeling like Cinderella, sad as it was and all. The day had gone perfect, except for maybe the five AM mocha chino was a bad idea, not really the caffeine part, just the five AM part. Just remember, Trinity. Never wake up Hannah without caffeine, or else a good plan of escape. She now had the perfect costume. Hannah was defiantly a genius of the sewing machine. She had made her black wings that could flap if she pressed a button on the palm of her hand. The dress was 'death' (or as others would say, black) and was just like any other angel costume; long, wavy and made out of this really soft, silky material Trinity couldn't pronounce.
She looked over at her at her friend and saw the perfect image of Sailor Saturn. Even her hair was black, a wig obviously. She even carried a 'fake' Silence Glaive, which Trinity found to fun to swing at people as they walked down the street, although when Hannah got it back, she took a few whacks at the back of her head for good measure.
"Hey! Don't touch my Silence Glaive!" Hannah yelled as passers stared.
"Okay! I'll just point my sword at people," Trinity said.
"If you must... just don't touch my glaive. And be careful, that thing's real!"
"Yes. I know, Hannah."
"I think the raspberry juice on your sword was the perfect touch. If I hadn't seen you put it on, I might be a little afraid."
"Yes, that's the point," Trinity said sarcastically.
"Don't make me hurt you again, you might lose more brain cells, and we all know you need to save those for a rainy day!"
"Don't make me remind you that this sword is real."
"So! I sharpen my glaive!"
"It's cardboard! How could you sharpen it!"
"I have my ways."
"I don't want to know. . . "
"I know you don't."
By that time they had reached Trinity's old house, the Renada's estate, she had taken more than 'a few' whacks to the back of her head. They were greeted by an old man that showed them the way to the ball room. Trinity's stomach sank down into her legs as she looked around her old house once again. It wasn't exactly the greatest thing to be back again, given the circumstances, but she didn't really have much of a choice. She was almost compelled to go back.
"Wow!" Hannah said, looking around as she spun with her head up, gazing at the high ceiling.
"Yeah, it's okay," Trinity said, receiving a puzzled look from Sailor Saturn.
"You act like you live here!" The blonde poked her with the Silence Glaive, before she went back to her house gazing. "Ooo! Ancient Chinese pottery...and the colors go so well! Wow! We should have come here for housing!" She stopped starring at everything after a few minutes and asked the Angel of Death, "Shall we go?"
"Let's shall." (We really need help with grammar. . . or at least I do. . .too many hits on the head).

"Must we do this?" Wufei wined as the others pulled him through the gates of the Renada estate. He didn't exactly want to be sociable and he truly didn't want to dress up like he had to. In fact, he hadn't even changed his costume at all since he had refused to, even at Heero's gun point to dress up like Satan.
Heero sighed deeply as his lipstick smeared all over his face again. "Listen. Just go into the house and see if you can find anything on Nadir. That's your mission. The rest of us are going to look out to see if we can spot anyone unusual at the party." He wasn't exactly in the best of moods; dressing up like Relena wasn't his favorite thing to do, but the other guy's had forced him into it (rather, Relena had, the other guys had nothing on him). He adjusted his gun that now resided in his pantyhose and stiffly walked up the stairs to the building. The others, but Wufei who was going to find another way in without looking too suspicious, followed behind.
***
Hannah and Trinity were having a great time residing right next to the hors d'oeurvre table as they sipped on their punch. Trinity had no idea who anyone else was in the building, and Hannah didn't seem like she had very many friends around so they just talked amongst themselves while munching on random things, with the exception of caviar. Trinity found it a bit odd that Hannah didn't have any close ties with anyone around, but she didn't want to bring up the subject of friends just in case Hannah would ask about hers. Then the subject could lead to family and that wasn't the best thing to talk about when you were faking an identity.
A flash of bright green puffy pants could be seen through the crowd.
Trinity blinked a couple of times before she realized who she had just seen. It must have been the bangs that tipped her off. "Hey! It's those guys!" She grabbed Hannah's wrist and pulled her away from the punch bowl which she was currently raiding. Punch went everywhere, but the two didn't seem to notice as they whisked across the room. Trinity came to a quick stop before six people standing and staring strangely at her as she ran up to them.
It was kind of hard to tell who was who, except for the fact that Relena was defiantly Heero and Heero was Relena. It was actually quite funny seeing the two of them in drag, dressed up like each other. The others wore other random costumes. Trinity pulled Hannah out from behind her and said, "Hannah, let me introduce you to the guys and Relena."
"Alrighty!" The blonde pepped in. She was still wearing off the effects of the sugar loaded punch she'd had six glaces of just a bit before.
"Okay, the girl is actually a guy, as you can see, and his name is Heero Yuy. Heero, this is Hannah."
Heero grunted in reply. His pantyhose were riding up again.
"The girl that looks like a guy, is actually a girl and her name is Relena.. . . ."
"Relena Peacecraft?!?"
"Yes. Relena, this is Hannah."
"Nice to meet you, Hannah."
"Yeah," was Hannah's reply."You're friends with Double-Brow Dorothy, aren't you?"
Trinity didn't want Relena to have to answer that so she said," and the Barbie, happens to be a guy and his name is Quatre Rebara Winner."
"Barbie?!" Hannah asked, cocking one eyebrow and glancing over at the blonde standing in the group. He was wearing a pretty pink tutu like dress with lots of sparkly things glued on in random places, a large bow in his hair, pink of course, and more make up than even Heero had on.
"Well, with twenty-nine sisters , you don't have much choice in the matter. Plus, they all like doing make-overs," Quatre said blushing slightly.
"Oh you poor boy, " Hannah said with mach sympathy as she attempted to keep herself back from completely cracking up. This, of course, was very hard because she hadn't seen anything that funny since the time her French teacher had tripped over a desk, flew across half of the room, and not only ripped her pants but also was able, with what she called great talent, end up without her shirt on when she stood up. It remains a mystery to this day as to how this was actually preformed.
"Okay, Quatre. And the tall clown, standing emotionlessly in the corner is Trowa." Trinity smirked at her label of 'emotionless' for as far as she could tell, she hadn't ever seen Trowa crack a smile ever.
"Humm...clown...I like clowns...I also like hair that defies the laws of gravity, "Hannah whispered so that only Trinity could hear.
"And this is Braidy," Trinity said with a smirk as she pointed to Duo who was wearing a black cap and holding a scythe. Duo gave her an angry glare, and he almost seemed like he was going to pounce on her and beat her to death with a stick; Trinity didn't know why he was over reacting so much.
"Yeah, but what about Trowa?" Hannah asked as she starred at the magical haired guy.
Trowa walked over to Hannah and held out hand to shake. "I don't have a name, you can call me No Name if you like."
"I have a name, it's Hannah, but you can call me Snotty Hampsterchuncks if you like," Hannah said as emotionlessly as Trowa.
Trinity couldn't take it though (surprise, surprise). She burst laughing so loud, even Duo was caught unawares, causing her wings to flap, smacking Heero in the back of the head, causing him onto the refreshments table and into the big the big bowl of punch. Then everyone laughed, except for Trowa. Well, he just didn't see the humor. Now pies, that's funny. Knives, even better, Trowa thought to himself.
From across the room, you could hear the stifled cries of Duo Maxwell, being let out from under the punch bowl. It seemed that Heero didn't exactly like being laughed at. You would think that Duo would have caught on to this by now, but I guess not. Not everyone can be pilot 03.And obviously anyone can be pilot 02. Doesn't take much brain power, Trowa pondered as he watched the spectacle.
With Duos cries being answered, the Angel of Death came to his rescue. Well, sort of. Trinity actually just kind of stuck her sword under Duo's butt and launched him into the air about 3 feet, and right into the cheese plate. At least he is out of Heero's way, Trinity mused. Duo slowly got out of the plate, and marched forward to Trinity.
"Now just what do you think you're doing?!? asked Duo, his hair dripping magenta punch and not sure which hurt worse; his butt or his pride. He started cursing profusely as he dripped dry in the middle of the ball room.
"I was saving you from Heero you ungrateful fudger! You should be thanking me, not yelling at me!" Trinity screamed into his face. "You could still be in that punch bowl, and that's all Heero needs, broken glass!"
Duo was surprised at her outburst. Slowly, but surely a small smile emerged onto his face; she sure knew how to keep the party alive. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out a orangish looking thing "Cheese?"
Trinity just glanced at it, then burst out laughing once again, though luckily everyone knew that they should really look out for her wings and they just dodged around them.
The laughs were all cut short by the appearance of Double-Brow Dorothy. It was an annoying entrance, with people stifling cries of horror as she walked past her peers to the group of generally annoyed looking (and emotionless) friends.
"What do you want, Double-Brow?" Hannah asked, just "slightly" annoyed.
"A wax job?" Trinity asked stepping next to her friend.
"No, I would just enjoy the pleasure of your company," she replied as Duo made a gagging noise in the background, and Quatre tried to make an escape that unfortunately for him, failed. Trowa stopped him, with a quick whisper of, "If we suffer, you suffer."
Dorothy walked over to Quatre and politely asked the squirming boy who was up against Trowa's grip if he would like to dance. Quatre thought about screaming bloody murder, but remember all those lessons about not yelling at ladies and being gracious and simply said, "I would be honored." Trowa just shook his head and pushed him towards the double-brow bitch.
As Dorothy pulled the wincing Quatre to the dance floor to dance to the perfectly time song "Barbie Girl", Trinity whispered to Hannah," Do you have the goods?"
The blonde shook her Silence Glaive and nodded. "The graveyard, midnight, you know which grave." She finished with the secret signal, rubbing her hands together, snapping her fingers, and ending with a clap, once. Then she walked over to the emotionless Trowa and stood before him, emotionless as well, until she cracked up and raised an eyebrow, and they just kind of stood there, looking like they were having the longest staring contest in the world, or were going bite each others faces off. Then Trinity had to pull Hannah away to do their "secret plan".
"Quatre, Dorothy," Hannah said threw clenched teeth," would you guys come over into the hall to talk to me and Aurora?"
They walked over into the dark side of the room, which just happened to be by the boys' bathroom.
"Hold on a second, Dorothy, as we talk to Quatre," Trinity said as she turned away from the monster.
After two minutes of explaining what Quatre had to do, then finally turned back to Double-Brow.
"Dorothy, ummm. . . .lets go over here for a second, okay?" he said , pointing to the wall, by the bathrooms.
"Okay!" Dorothy said, happily choked up.
So they walked away towards the boys' bathroom. Dorothy really didn't know what she had coming. Anyway, they were followed closely by Trinity and Hannah, who were laughing and snickering the whole way.
"Poor Quatre,"Trinity whispered to Hannah.
"Oh come on! He knew the risks coming into this deal!" Hannah replied.
They watched as in horror as Quatre leaned in for the kill(. . . I mean kiss). They wanted to scream, but didn't dare give away their position. He got really close, started wrapping his arms around her, and suddenly pushed her into the bathroom (must I remind you that it's the boys') with silent cheers from Trinity and Hannah. They come walking over, trying not to look suspicious and gave Quatre the hand shake before diving into the boys' bathroom, as Quatre waited outside as point guard.
Dorothy looked around at the new surroundings, very confused and scared, kind of like a wild animal. Who'd a thunk that there could be a really ugly looking animal. . .with double-brows. She looked even more confused as Hannah walked in (or rather dived in) followed by Trinity who did an army roll. They had evil smirks on their faces, which didn't help Double-Brow any more.
"Where's Quatre?"
"Standing guard...I mean he's been delayed,"" Hannah said. She then reached into Trinity's black backpack and pulled out a fully loaded staple gun, and all out grinned.
"Now, you better get your stupid self into that end stall, quickly, or else Hannah over there might just feel like stapling you're lip to your double-brows, got it?" Trinity ordered.
Dorothy backed up as Hannah seemed to trying to pull her glaive apart by the middle; the glaive was winning.
"Here, I'll take the staple gun, you get the duct tape," Trinity said.
"You get to have all the fun... ooooo duct tape," Hannah said evilly as she handed her friend the staple gun. It took her awhile to finally pull the well made glaive in two and pull out eight fresh roles of blue and green duct tape. "Hehehe," she laughed quietly to herself. She then came at Double-Brow with full force of a charging rhino (a short charging rhino :::Fairy whacks Magic in the head with her Silence Glaive:::: ouch!). She shoved Double-Brow into the back of the stall and taped her screaming mouth shut.
"Just for now...we have to do your eyebrows!" Hannah said devilishly, before Double-Brow passed out.
"Plucky plucky!" Trinity said as she approached, carrying two large eyebrow clippers.
"One for me, one for you." Hannah said as she grabbed the torture instrument. Looking over at their prisoner she added, "Too bad she fainted."
"No kidding."
They began plucking away for ten minutes of tedious work, until Double-Brow Dorothy was no more. She was ExDouble- Brow Dorothy. "Oops, we each plucked off a different section on each brow," Trinity said as she stood back to marvel their handy work.
"I told you to clip the lower one! I can't reach the higher one!" Hannah screamed, waking up their prisoner.
"Wah happened?" ExDouble-Brow asked, rather confused about her surroundings.
"Nothing,"Trinity said simply," but now we have to duct tape you to the stall door."
"NO NO NO NO NO!!!!"
Hannah just simply picked up the staple gun and waved it around in reply.
"Ummmm okay?"
"That's a good Double-Brow...ExDouble-Brow," Hannah said, smirking.
"Come on! Get up and lean against the door! Our guard can only be there for so long!" Trinity yelled yanking the shorter ExDouble-Brow off of the toilet.
There was a short, yet painful struggle, as Trinity picked up ExDouble-Brow and held her against the swinging stall door. Hannah gladly taped the kicking Dorothy securely to the door maybe a little more than securely, but that's okay. (It's not my fault that DT is Hannah's favorite instrument for evil).
"I am Queen of the Green Duct Tape!!!" Hannah screamed her war cry, as did the duct tape, rrrrippppp. "I used to be Queen of all Duct Tape, but then I let you," she whirled to face Trinity, "Have the honor of being Queen of the Blue Duct Tape."
"And what an honor it is," Trinity said as she finished her last roll on Dorothy.
"So. . . what do you think?" Hannah said, standing back to look at their new masterpiece. It was a giant green and blue cocoon that covered everything but her face, so that you could see that Hannah was serious when she threatened Dorothy with the staple gun. Her bottom lip was actually stapled to her newly tweezed brows.
"I think it looks great," Trinity said.
"It's a masterpiece, but thought there should be more of a struggle."
"Oh well, shall we relieve the guard?" Trinity asked smiling.
"Yes, we shall."
They walked out of the boys' bathroom door and told Quatre to go have a look-see at their new masterpiece. He came out laughing so hard he could hardly walk, and all he asked for the rest of the night was a camera. This was not the end to Hannah and Trinity's fun though. All through the rest of the night they watched as surprised boys walked out of the bathroom, their faces a pale shade of horror.
"Don't they like our masterpiece?" Trinity asked Hannah.
"Well, everyone's a critic these days!"
They met up with the other guys, and then one Hannah's favorite songs, "Tragedy" (all these songs are by "Steps". . .I don't want them to sue me either. . . listen to the words sometime.) Hannah walked over to Trowa and stared. He stared back; then his hand went out with a nod, and they danced. Trinity looked at them confusion, but as Hannah mouthed to her, she understood in a relative way. Hannah mouthed, "I speak mime. All you have to do is stare the right way, and it's just like speaking."
"Oh," Trinity mouthed back. She went a bit cross eyed for a bit, but realized that if she kept trying to figure it all out, it was only going to elude her even more.
"Okay, so what's up with the sword and cheese plates?" Duo's voice asked from behind her.
She turned around to look at Duo in mach confusion, "I thought everyone liked cheese!"
"Well, not in my pants!" Duo yelled back as he smirked slightly.
Then the music came on again, and it was another song by Steps, "Five, Six, Seven, Eight". Trinity looked over at Trowa and Hannah, who were staring at each other again, or 'having a conversation' in their words. She decided that she should probably dance sometime so she grabbed Duo's braid and lead him out onto the dance floor, much to his surprise.
"What the hell!?" Duo screamed at her; he wasn't in the least bit of a dancing mood. Especially with this one as she was a Renada and all.
Trinity grabbed one of his hands. "Oh come on. Or, can't you dance?" She taunted him with her mach sexy smile and spun around on her heels.
It was a challenge. Duo was forced to accept. They ended up dancing the rest of the night, seeing who would drop dead of exhaustion first, him or her. They both ended up flopping at about the same time, much to the surprise of the other and then the food was raided yet again.
The rest of the night was pretty uneventful, compared to the beginning. Trinity had to go over and pull the still 'talking' Hannah away from Trowa when it was finally time to go. Wufei hadn't been seen by any of them for the whole evening, which Trinity found a little bit weird, but didn't mind in the least, Quatre had to get home before his curfew, and Heero and Relena had left together about and hour ago. So Trowa and Duo decided to be nice and walk the girls to their dorms. Trinity decided that going into Relena's room was not a good idea so she asked Hannah if she could sleep in her room.
"If you promise to get me caffeine in the morning," Hannah said. She was already dead tired and there was nothing like a dead tired Hannah in the morning, except maybe a ravenous demon straight out of Hell.
"Hey, Trowa's the same way!" Duo told them and received an evil glare from Trowa.
Unlike most good-byes after the 'first date', Hannah and Trowa just stared at each other until they both nodded and Trowa began walking away. Hannah disappeared into the room leaving Trinity and Duo alone.
"Hope you have just a great time getting the cheese out of your pants," Trinity smiled quite stupidly as she opened the door to go inside.
"Wait." Duo demanded as she left to go into the room. She didn't hear though as she was dead tired, and she shut the door quickly, right in his face.
"Night then," Duo grumbled as he sauntered off in the direction of his dorm room, no longer sure just how he felt about the girl he had just met a couple days ago.
