Anime Weekend Chapter 16: All's Faire
Disclaimer: Well obviously I don't own Gundam Wing or I wouldn't be slaving and striving to please the readers…. Ok I'm not slaving but I'm striving.
Author's note: I'm sorry it's taken me so long but between writer's block and some personal things I am trying to keep the story going as fast as I can. I would like it noted that I have never been to a Renn Faire so if it's not accurate… :P
(Everyone was awoken at six am by the sound of a big metal pot bouncing off the ceramic tile floor..)
Crystal(sitting up on the couch): What the hell…??? (Duo fell out of the chair he was in, Quatre wandered out rubbing his eyes)
Quatre: What was that? (a thud is heard from the kitchen)
Duo(getting off the floor): I didn't do it!
Crystal(rolling her eyes): Duh! And I don't think the others would make that much noise…except Mina and she's not back yet.
Duo(yawning): Maybe someone's breaking in…
Quatre(frowning looks into the kitchen, then comes back to the living room): Oh my…
Shannon(yawning and coming out of the 'den'): What's wrong?
Quatre: Heero's making breakfast…
Duo(crinkling nose): that means toast and coffee..(trails off as Quatre shakes his head)
Quatre: Heero is making eggs and pancakes. (nods as Duo's jaw drops) I know, I wish I knew why.. (WuFei and Trowa walk out of the hall)
WuFei: What's wrong with Maxwell this time?
Shannon: Heero's making eggs and pancakes for breakfast, I don't understand why that's a big deal though.
WuFei(raising an eye): Yuy is cooking food other than toast and coffee? (Quatre nods)
Trowa: He's never done so before. (before anyone can comment the front door opens and Mina staggers in)
Crystal: Hey, took you long enough to come back.
Mina(zombie staring): Coffeeeeeee……………… (mass sweat dropping Heero walks out of the kitchen)
Heero: breakfast is ready for anyone hungry and Duo don't eat everything. (he then disappears down the hall)
Duo: Where's he going?
Quatre(thoughtful frown): Maybe he went to get ready, we are leaving in half an hour right?
Crystal(eating a pancake): Yeah, I suppose that means someone should get Mae up. (the sounds of a door opening footsteps through the hall and a door slamming) What the…?? (Shannon and Crystal get up and head down the hall then return a few minutes later)
Shannon: I feel so sorry for her, it's like Fate doesn't want her to go to any Renn Faire, or something.
Quatre: What's wrong is Mae alright?
Crystal: She's in the bathroom losing last night's dinner.
Trowa: Is she okay?
Crystal: Yeah, she's not really used to French cuisine. (Several minutes later a door is opened and another closed) …Anyway we should get changed to save time.
Duo(puppy eyes): Can't I stay here? (Mae walks out in her Renn gown((peasant/barmaid style)) and sits at the table)
Trowa(walking over): Are you okay chou?
Mae: I'm fine, and Duo you can stay here…… over my dead body. (Duo gapes and blinks) In the mean time as I am very much alive go get changed so we can leave. (everyone gets changed into their Renn-wear ((I know that's probably not a real term but it is now)) then meet in the living room after deciding to take two vehicles ((the Hummer and the Tank)) they head to the Faire…)
Crystal looking in the rear-view mirror as she parks): Mae, stop that!
Mae: I can't help it you know how long I've been looking forward to this.
Crystal: Well stop biting your lip you're gonna cut it. (everyone climbs out of the two vehicles and heads into the Faire grounds)
Duo(whistling in awe): Wow…this is… cool.
Quatre: Everything looks authentic…
Trowa: Except the people in shorts with cameras. (the girls giggle/snicker at that statement)
WuFei: I thought you had said there would be weapons here.
Shannon: The blacksmiths are over there… (points to the left) and we will be at the craft booths unless everyone gets distracted in which case I say noon food pavilion. (nodding everyone splits up. At 10:13((am for those of you who were wondering)) the girls are wandering around the grounds with a large bag each)
Mae: This is great I can't believe some of the stuff we got here.
Crystal(making a sudden stop in front of the other three): God-like Hotties at 1 o'clock!! (the others peering around)
Mina(looking around like a maniac): Where? Where? Where?
Crystal(pointing and drooling): There… (the other three look and gasp)
Shannon: That's…
Mae: Treize and Zechs! We can't let them find the guys.
Shannon: Okay here's the plan Crys, you and Mina find the guys and head back toward the cars. Mae you and I are on distraction detail. Ok? (the others nod) Then split. (Crystal and Mina head towards the blacksmith area to find the guys as Shannon and Mae walk towards Treize, Zechs and their entourage. Mae pretends to stumble right in front of them, Zechs catches her before she can fall and helps steady her.)
Mae: Thank you very much… Why Mr. Merquise, Mr. Khushrenada, what a pleasant surprise!! I hadn't thought you would be here.
Shannon: What brings you out here on this lovely day?
Treize(bowing): Ladies, a pleasure to see you again. We're here on business I'm afraid.
Shannon: Oh? Then I suppose you wouldn't be interested in joining us for a refreshment? (the group has started walking again)
Mae(smiling sweetly and gently fanning herself): Perhaps a cool drink? It is rather warm out, and I would imagine your clothes are a bit stifling. (a few of the soldiers start shifting and gently tugging at their collars)
Treize(taking Mae's arm lightly): I cannot help but notice that you have been subtly guiding us in one direction, and I wonder why you would do that. Could it perhaps be that you do not wish us to go in the other direction and possibly discover our quarry? (Shannon averts her eyes and Mae appears shocked)
Mae: Why Mr. Khushrenada! If I didn't think you were a gentleman I would think you were insulting me. (she turns her back to him and folds her arms lightly then continues in a hurt tone) In fact I think you are insulting me, or more precisely my integrity… (she trails off as she spots Crystal, Mina and the guys trying to sneak by, she suddenly turns toward Treize) But you wouldn't insult me like that would you? (giving her best kicked puppy face. Treize glances past her then looks her in the eye)
Treize: I have underestimated you, you are more cunning that I had originally thought. (he turns and nods to Zechs who motions to the soldiers.) I do hope you'll forgive us but we have business with your associates. (Treize, Zechs and soldiers start towards the guys and……….)
The end.
((::pulls off head phones:: oops sorry brain to finger miscommunication, how many people hate me now?))
(The Gundam Pilots exchange a look as the OZ contingent heads them. Weighing their options they prepare to either fight or flee, when suddenly a voice booms…)
Voice: Seize them!!!! (a horde of Barbarians rushes the OZ soldiers wrestling them into submission, as the girls and pilots make a run for it.)
