For Rel

Note:  I don't own Gundam Wing or the characters.   Evil lyrics are back.  None of these songs belong to me they belong to their respected bands.

"Now, doesn't she have a beautiful voice?" asked Draca being extremely playful with Lynn as she winked at her friend. "Though I think we have been neglecting the boys too much, what do you say ladies?"  There were a few daughters of the representatives that cheered at the idea, but they were only teenagers anyway.  "My…boys, you two have a bit of a fan club all of your own."

"Haleluha to that sister!" agreed Salimar completely as she moved away from her instrument and towards Draca.  "Anyways, we are all about being different and singing different types of music.  So let's hear some of it boys!"

It opened up with Lynn and Adam for a few measures than Sage joined in.

"8 o'clock Monday night and I'm waiting
To finally talk to a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Nona she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a 2-way, but I'm not quite sure what that means

And when she walks, all the wind blows and the angels sing
But, she doesn't notice me

Cause she's watching wrestling
Creaming over tough guys
Listening to rap metal
Turntables in her eye," sang Adam while Salimar and Draca kept the crowds going.

"It's like a bad movie; she is looking through me, if you were me than you'd be,
Screaming, "someone shoot me," as I fail miserably,
Trying to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want," both brothers vocalized in sync with each other.

"She likes the Godsmack and I like Agent Orange
Her CD changer's full of singers that are mad at their dad
She said she'd like to score some refer and a 40
She'll never know that I'm the best that she'll never have

And when she walks, all the wind blows and the angels sing
But, she'll never notice me

Cause she's watching wrestling
Creaming over tough guys
Listening to rap metal
Turntables in her eyes

She likes them with a mustache
Racetrack season pass
Driving in a Trans Am
Does a mullet make a man?" Sage sang into his microphone as he got really into the music.

"It's like a bad movie; she is looking through me, if you were me than you'd be,
Screaming, "someone shoot me," as I fail miserably,
Trying to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want," both of the brothers sang, repeating the last line three more times.

"There she goes again with fishnets on
And dread locks in her hair
She broke my heart I want to be sedated
All I wanted was to see her naked," Adam sang than it switched to Sage and little to no instruments accompanied him.

"Now I'm watching wrestling
Trying to be a tough guy
Listening to rap metal
Turn tables in my eyes

I can't grow a mustache and I ain't got no season pass
All I got's a moped."

"It's like a bad movie; she is looking through me, if you were me than you'd be,
Screaming, "someone shoot me," as I fail miserably,
Trying to get the girl all the bad guys want
She's the girl all the bad guys want," the brothers ended, repeating the last line five more times before the song ended.

The teenaged girls applauded the loudest amongst the crowd while Salimar and Draca returned the men they stole back to their wives or dates, it would be rude not to.  Than they returned to the band and high-fived both of the boys with a congratulations before taking their normal places. 

"These boys certainly can sing, can't they ladies and gentlemen?" declared Lynn applauding the boys before nodding to Draca who just smiled evilly for a second and gave her a wink.  This interaction did not go unnoticed by Heero or Quatre, who both just glanced at each other and silently agreed that those two girls were up to something.  Than Trowa came up to them with his eyes on the band.

"Is it just me, or are those three trying to hint to something of some sort, especially that Lynn girl?" Trowa whispered to the former gundam pilots while Sylvia promptly ignored them and observed the band.

"Yes, that is what it does seem," agreed Heero though his logical part of his mind was telling him that he had just found Relena or at least someone who could lead him to Relena, another part of his mind kept saying that this was too easy, to obvious for Relena.  Than his logical self would counter saying that she is only a child, an amateur at disguising herself, and than his other part would argue that was why he was still having a hard time finding her.

"Now, this time for certain, Salimar is going to sing our first true slow song of the evening for all of you great people that keep the peace for all of us," announced Draca directing everyone's attention to the stunned but defeated Salimar, this time she couldn't say no.

Waving a bit and forcing a smile, one that reminded Quatre a bit of the smile he would see Relena use at meetings when being greeted or being escorted out.  Of course, at that time of day it was Duo who was usually being her bodyguard and never really took notice of it.  Still, it brought Quatre a great deal of pain just to see it again and to think about the missing Vice Foreign Minister at such a festive time.

Moving to the piano, Salimar sat down there while Lynn took control of the keyboard, setting it to her liking.  Than Salimar adjust the microphone on the piano to suit her before testing out the tuning of the piano and its tone.  Satisfied with the quality of the sound she turned to Lynn and gave her a nod.  So Lynn played the keyboard solo for a few measures before the piano, bass, and light drums entered.

"I don't know what it is that you've done to me

But it's caused me to act in such a crazy way

Whatever it is that you do when you do what you're doing

It's a feeling that I don't understand

'Cause my heart starts beating triple time

With thoughts of loving you on my mind

I can't figure out just what to do

When the cause and cure is you

I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak

I lose all control and something takes over me

In a daze and it's so amazing

It's not a phase, I want you to stay with me

By my side, I swallow my pride

Your love is so sweet

It knocks me right off of my feet

Can't explain why your loving makes me weak

Time after time, after time I try to fight it

But your love is strong, it keeps on holding on

Resistance is down

When you're around, cries fading

In my condition, I don't want to be alone

'Cause my heart starts beating triple time

With thoughts of loving you on my mind

I can't figure out just what to do

When the cause and cure is you

I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak

I lose all control and something takes over me

In a daze and it's so amazing

It's not a phase, I want you to stay with me

By my side, I swallow my pride

Your love is so sweet

It knocks me right off of my feet

Can't explain why your loving makes me weak

I try hard to fight it

No way can I deny it

You're love's so sweet, knocks me off my feet

I get so weak in the knees, I can hardly speak

I lose all control and something takes over me

In a daze and it's so amazing

It's not a phase, I want you to stay with me

By my side, I swallow my pride

Your love is so sweet

It knocks me right off of my feet

Can't explain why your loving makes me weak

(I get so weak)

Blood starts racing through my veins

(I get so weak)

Boy, it's something I can't explain

(I get so weak)

Something 'bout the way you do

The things you doo-ooo-ooo, it...

(Knocks me right off of my feet) - OHHHHHHH, off my feet

Can't explain why your lovin' makes me weak…"  The song ended and Salimar finally opened her eyes, which had been closed throughout the song looking as if she had been transported into another world where all that mattered was the music and the lyrics; none of the crowd existed to her.  Meanwhile, the people that were dancing around on the dance floor lingered in their steps a bit longer.  Even Heero and Sylvia were still floating across the dance floor when the song ended.

It was just a sense of feeling the band gave the audience when singing a slow song, each member of the band had this effect in different ways.  Not angelic voices but voices that captured people's attention with the emotion behind it, something that even orchestras can lack in.  That was how Heero was feeling at least and as he judged the other people around him he could tell they felt something similar to it too.

This feeling reminded Heero of the one other time he had felt this way but that was one of the days when Relena was around, and he prefer not to think about her, not while he was with Sylvia.  He may not know how to be a boyfriend, or even human for that, but he knew when his girlfriend gets hurt, and that's when his mind wonders.

"Heero, are you alright sweetie?" Sylvia inquired as she noticed his spazzed expression.

Putting on a small smile that wouldn't let anyone but a few people think he was lying, Heero nodded.  Leaning down he kissed her on the cheek and than whispered in her ear, "Fine."  No need to let her know the truth.

Meanwhile, Draca ditched her dance partner, Trowa, and headed back to the band only to stand near the drum set and by Adam.  "Aren't those two close?" awed Sage sarcastically as he made a general gesture towards Heero and Sylvia.

"Can say that again," scuffed Draca crossing her arms over her chest as she watched them.

"What's the game plan?" asked Lynn joining the group with Salimar right behind her.

"Last one, than your song, we are out of here, and than on the first flight back to Verona.  I don't want to be here any longer than necessary," Draca told them.

"Aw…come on, darling, that would be rude for us to dash away without chowing down on some food or paying our respects in person to the host and to Marquis Weridge," pointed out Adam.

"He's right, after all Marquis Weridge did get us this gig so we must thank him at the very least," added Salimar.

"Fine, we'll do this your way than.  We finish, we pack up, we thank, and than we are out of here," listed Draca.  "Sound good for all of you?"

"What about food?" asked Sage as everyone turned to him with raised eyebrows.  "Can't go home on an empty stomach, you know."

"Okay, we eat too," sighed Draca.  "Is that good for all of you."

"Yeah, but let's get back to the crowd they look a bit anxious," noted Salimar.

"Let's finish this than," declared Draca and the group returned to their instruments (Lynn to her guitar and Salimar to the keyboards).  Picking up an ear microphone Draca plastered on a smile and announced to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen I regret to inform you that this is the second to last song that we shall perform for you this evening.  We have one more after this song, one of our songs, to still entertain you with though."

People don't expect an update this weekend, I'm working 30 hours and so I won't have time to type or even write a next chapter.  Sorry.  Also, sorry that I didn't update last weekend either, mommy kept me off the computer.
