Holy Cow I'm on chapter eight ~_~'.
'thoughts'
"speaking"
More Than Meets The Eye
Chapter 8
Everyone exited the stage except Trowa, Sylvia, and a boy named Justin. Trowa, as Montague, began to speak.
"Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach? Speak, nephew, were you by when it began?" 'I think that's the most he has ever said in one try.' Relena mused from the front row of the crowd.
Justin, who played Benvolio, stood and spoke too. "Here were the servants of your adversary. And yours, close fighting ere I did approach. I drew to part them. In the instant came The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared; which, as he breathed defiance to my ears, he swung about his head and cut the winds, who, nothing hurt withal (AN: @_@... sp?), hissed him with scorn. While we wer-"
Relena drowned out the rest of the act, lost in her thoughts. The parts ahead were boring anyways.
Leia's funeral was supposedly beautiful, but after the ceremony, Marimaia had completely locked herself in her room only letting her dear Uncle Dekim in. She would only eat if he brought it to her, but there was no other way she'd come out. Relena remembered talking to her door before Dekim had come up again...
~*(Flashback)*~
"Marimaia... I'm sorry about your mother but you must understand that I had no choice. I already had everything set when the letter came, please come out." She was standing outside the child's door, talking desperately to the child. "I know how you feel, my mother passed away when I was nearly six, I never really got the chance to know her." Relena slipped onto the ground, pulling her legs up to her chest beside the door, and she draped her arms around her legs. " My brother had left before that, so it was just my father and I. When your mother was found by us, she made the family seem almost complete.
Marimaia, please understand that I miss her as much as you, and I understand your angst, but don't do this to yourself! Please, Marimaia, how could I possibly explain to your mother how I let you die? I couldn't save Miss Leia, but I beg of you to not to punish yourself, I need to beable to save you... You are one of the only things I still have that of my childhood. Please don't..."
There was no answer from the other side of the door, so Relena got up and left. She turned around to see Dekim approach the door and knock, then was immediately let in. She let out a sigh and walked back to her office.
~*(End Flashback)*~
'Mother, Father, Leia, and now, Marimaia is drifting away as well... what can I do?' She watched the play with a heavy heart, but not really seeing it, just the memories of her childhood still in her head.
*~*~*~*~*
After a quick break, the balcony scene came all too soon for Meiran. Some idiot (Duo) had suggested the they should use a balcony scene where they kissed near the end. The teacher had agreed and with that, earned two fearsome scowls to her and Duo from Wufei and Meiran herself. By the end of class, Meiran was already flexing and getting ready to beat the crap out of Maxwell when she found out that he had everyone but Wufei and herself protecting him, so she never got the chance to try.
Her dress was a simple Victorian style dress, though she didn't know why; as far as she knew, the tradgedy hadn't happened during that era. Wufei was in ridiculous tights and what looked to be a male version of a blouse. He also had a huge hat in which had refused to where until the mention of him failing had come up.
Though there was a kissing scene, the lines were blessedly simpler than the original version to make up for the upset.
Meiran took her place in the little room thing behind the balcony and waited for the que. (AN: I didn't know what to do so this may or may not sound right.)
"Oh thyst Angel, winged messenger from heaven thyself, show to I thyst beautifully face." Meiran let out an inaudible groan and made her appearance. With too much enthusiasm, she began to say her lines.
"Oh Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?" She nearly gave into the urge to gag at being made to act so lovesick.
"Here am I, thy sweet angel. The nightengale sings a peaceful song, heard for miles around."
"Why hast thou come, dear Romeo? Thy family wilt be angered by thoust betrayal."
"I have come to hear thyst wonderful voice, and sought to see thyst beautiful face. My love for thou hast led me here." Meiran felt sick. "May I ask of thou, the honour of a kiss stolen from thyst soft lips, for this night may come once more, but I hunger the taste of thyst lips."
"The morningbird shall call soon, though if thyst wanton it most, thou shall. But only a moment and a moment only, for I fear that my father may slay your head if hist finds thou have set foot on our garden, and I wilt be punished for my disloyalty."
"Ay." Wufei hesitantly climbed up the hidden ladder and jumped on the balcony where Meiran stood. Quietly, he whispered to her, "I don't like this anymore than you do so let's get this over with..." She walked towards him, looking vulnerable and he approached her. His arms wrapped themselves around her and their lips met.
The crowd was about to applaud when the lights turned off, and their heads broke apart. "This wasn't the plan!" They heard someone yell. But as sudden as the lights went off, they came back on, with one little difference.
The balcony began to creak, then lean over a tiny bit. "Oh god! Meiran, Wufei, run!" Which they did. They were just about to reach the door to the stairs when the balcony gave way, and fell to the stage below. Audience members ran out the doors and all that were left was the guys, girls, and Relena's bodyguards, Zechs, Noin and Anne, or Lady Une. The two Chinese people were holding onto a bar just off the door when the dust cleared. Hilde and Duo appeared above them and helped the two up.
"Was anyone hurt?" They were looking off the side when the lights were turned off again. But this time, footsteps were heard, all occuring with the same rythm. The lights turned on again and this time, soldiers by the tens surrounded the auditorum. Five or six more surrounded Relena. She was standing in the middle of the aisle which divided the auditorum to two. At the end of the aisle were the doors.
Which opened only moments afterwards. And streaming down the aisle towards Relena was Marimaia and Dekim Barton. Marimaia was wearing a military uniform instead of her usual red overalls and yellow shirt. A cape flowed from her back and a green hat sat atop her head.(AN: Just think of Marimaia from Endless Waltz) Behind her, her uncle, Dekim, wore a mens version of her uniform.
The soldiers parted for Marimaia as she strode purposely towards Relena. When she finally stopped infront of the Vice Foreign Minister, she stopped as if a soldier herself. "At ease!" The tens of grown men put down their weapons as the child instructed.
Forcing herself to keep calm, Relena began to speak to the girl. "Marimaia, what it this?"
"Silence." She picked pulled out a fencing sword and touched it on Relena's chin. "You... You dishonourable little wrench. you and your whole god damn family." She stepped in closer, but the sword stayed in it's place.
"I... I don't understand..." She would've bent down and reached out for the girl, hadn't the sword been there.
"First you take away my father, then you let, no made my mother die! You poisoned her didn't you? It was you..." Her eyes were squinted and she pressed the sword more, drawing blood. "Then you abandon her on her funeral, I can't believe I trusted you!"
Meiran, Hilde, Duo, and Wufei had long joined the others on stage. When Marimaia drew the sword, Yuy had stepped forward, and the rest of the group held their breath.
She walked to Midii and nudged her friend. "Your blade, do you have it with you?" she whispered, making sure no one else would hear. She nodded and pulled up her skirt a bit, revealing a strap with the black handle being stuck on. "Old habits die hard." she muttered to no one in particuler.
They could still hear the conversation from the back of the stage. "I don't know who has been feeding you these lies, Mairmaia, but they aren't true."
"I really wish you wouldn't talk about my uncle like that, Miss Relena."
'Dekim?' Meiran questioned as slipped the blade out soundlessly and carefully cut off bits of their skirts until they could move freely in them.
"Marimaia, what made you believe those lies?"
Walking over to some of the others, she nudged them and silently gave them the message of what to do.
"They are not lies. I know they are true because of your behaviour of the late."
One by one, they followed Meiran and Midii's example.
"I did not miss your mother's funeral on purpose, Marimaia, I hadn't known about the ball until after I-"
"Enough!" The soldiers' weapons came up immediately, and the boys tensed. "Miss Relena, I have the mansion under my control. Soon, Uncle Dekim will have taken over the world and it will bow helplessly to me." she smirked.
At last the last of the girls had cut their dresses short. Armed with wood and other pieces of the fallen balcony as weapons, they stood and waited for the right moment to attack, if necessary.
"The world wants peace, Marimaia. They would give up their lives for it. You may beable to lead them, but it is their choice to fight for you or not. Like the lesson goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink." Relena stood her ground, despite the situation she was in.
"My, you are naive for one so influential, Miss Relena. They care for their lives more than anything else. I mean, don't you think your 'friends' would've tried to save you if that were true? The people of Earth only keep peace because they believe that they can reach it. With you gone, though, they will bow to me immediately, like the dolls they are. Why, look at the army I've raised so far, do you think that they were as noble as you make them seem?"
"I will not give up for as long as I live. I shall prove to you that you are wrong."
"Ha, ambituous, aren't you? Well, all the more reason for you to DIE!" She thrust her sword, though Relena bent back and kicked the girl the girl in the face.
On stage, Meiran threw herself at the nearest guard, and the others, boys and girls alike, followed her lead.
In a corner elsewhere, Zechs, Noin, and Lady Une began to fight back too. They were outnumbered, but in the confusion, they managed to get the guards to shoot their own, and soon enough, they were withered down considerably.
They fought in groups, every now and then scattering to another group to make sure they weren't hit. Hilde and Quatre were skimmed slightly, but otherwise, the group was fine. In the end, all had either died, ran off, or fell unconscious during the fight except four. They worked in groups of three each, Relena was forced out of the fight earlier, surrounding a soldier.
Heero held one soldier rather effectively by himself. He had his arms linked through the mans and held them behind the guy's head. He held him like that while Dorothy and Duo took turns punching the crap out of him.
Noin, Wufei, and Hilde punched and hit their victim around the little triangle they had formed. The man staggered around in it until he finally fell unconscious at their feet.
Lady Une had pinned down the man she had come across by holding him arm behind his back just before the point of snapping it. Meiran sat on his legs, slapping him hard everytime he tried to kick her off, while Midii removed all the guns, knives, grenades, and other weapons off him until she came across a soaked napkin. Guessing at what it was, she held it to the man's face, and he, expectantly, fell unconscious as well.
Zech, Trowa, and Quatre were stuck with the hardest of them all. He had a gun an was threatening to shoot them if they came any closer. After a bit of hesitation, Trowa ran straight for the guy, and when the gun was lifted at him, he jumped over the soldier, completely surprising him, and kicked him from behind. There was a gunshot heard, but the gun hadn't been near Trowa or the others. They guessed the man had missed, or shot out of fear, and began beating him, but after a while, Zechs took out his gun and shot the man.
They were now all down for the count, and everyone ran outside a locked the doors, but not before Midii dropped in a gas bomb she had found. For extra measure, she had said.
Gathered outside the auditorium were the students, actors, audiences, some preventors, and the police. The crew that had previously been fighting gathered outside.
"Une, get everyone that's head of Preventors at your headquarters, now. There will be a meeting immediately. We are to discuss the events and and information." It was Relena who issued the orders.
She was clutching her arm tightly, Zechs noted, and walked up to her. "Relena, what's wrong?"
She looked at him and cocked an eyebrow. "Nothi-" She never finished, due to her passing out that moment.
Zechs caught her in his arms and lifted her up. "Delay the meeting, I'm sure it's mandatory that she be there too." And he began to run off to a preventors care and gave them charge of Relena's safety.
"You nine," Une pointed directly to Hilde, Duo, and their little groups. "I'd like to make you preventors..."
*~*~*~*~*
Heh heh, my first cliffhanger. :P. So from now on, I'm going to call Anne, Une or Lady Une, since she just took a more official place in the character's minds. Wow, it's been only two days since my last update, I'm on a roll! Heh heh, R&R please!!
