Anime Weekend Chapter 20: It's called Acting
Disclaimer: I wish.
Beytra: You do wish.
Mae(sniffle):....I know....
Phil(patting Mae's shoulder): It's ok, as your better muse I still love you....
Shannon:...........M-chan.....you're on crack........
Phil(ignoring the others): Our Heroes and Heroines....not the drug Beytra.....have since returned to their "normal" schedules.......we last saw them on Wednesday....we rejoin them on Friday evening.......
+
Scene: The house, everyone has gathered for dinner......
+
Shannon(helping Mae serve up some Lasgana): Well it's Friday.....anyone have plans?
Crystal: It's exam season so there are no parties...since everyone is cramming...
Duo(mouth half full): Bummer.
Mae(her and Shannon sitting to eat): Well the mall is closed since the fire this morning.....and now the mall will be smoking free....
Crystal:...Damn. (getting a few looks) What?
Duo:.......You smoke?
Crystal: On occasion........yes...
Duo: Really??
Mae:...Just remember one thing, you guys don't know half of the truth about us....we either choose to omit certain facts or you just haven't asked.
Quatre(tilting head): Like what?
Mina:....You reeeeeeeeeeaaally don't want to know....
Shannon: She's right. So have you guys figured out how to get back yet? (quickly changing topics)
Heero: No.
Crystal: Any theories?
Quatre: We have a couple but none solid. If I didn't know better I would say it was magic...but that's the least likely scenario.
Crystal: You don't believe in magic?
Quatre: Don't get me wrong it's believable in stories and myths...but not for reality.
Mae: Well if you're basing your beliefs on reality then you shouldn't be able to exist in this world. (silence....broken by the phone ringing) I'll get that. (goes to the kitchen to answer the phone)
Quatre(to Shannon): Did I upset her?
Shannon: No, Mae just firmly believes that magic does exist even if you can't see or feel it. (WuFei makes a noise of annoyance/disgust)
Crystal: What is your damage now?? (WuFei gets up, ignoring her, and goes to his and Heero's room).......One of these days I'm gonna kick his ass....
Duo:.....Have I said I love you?
Crystal: Not in the past hour.
Heero: Not at the table.
Duo: Why Heero if I didn't know better I'd think you were jealous.
Heero:..... (gets up and also goes to his and WuFei's room. everyone else finishes dinner, half an hour after she left to answer the phone Mae returns with a notepad)
Shannon: More fic ideas?
Mae: No........meeting time and location.
Crystal(frowning):....What meeting?....With who?
Mae:...........coughtreizecough
Everyone else in the room:...........
Duo: Who??
Crystal:....Please say I heard you wrong...
Duo: Who?....Who???
Crystal: Zip it owl boy. Mae......who? (Mae clears her throat and mumbles something)
Shannon:....Either say it properly or I reveal forbidden secrets to the guys.
Mae:....Blackmailer.....
Shannon: Yes, now answer....intelligibly.
Mae:....Fine....Tomorrow I'm meeting Treize Khushrenada....
Crystal: Are you on Crack?!?!!?
Quatre(frowning):....Why?
Mae: He has a few theories on how you guys got here and I think he should be heard out if it'll help.
Duo:....You really want us gone that bad? (Crystal tackles him and punches him)
Mae:....it's not that I want you guys gone.....it's that I know you have obligations in your world.
Shannon: Well you should take someone with you.
Mae: You volunteering?
Shannon: Let me think......no....
Mae: Then don't say that, because I can't take anyone else.
Shannon: What about Crystal?
Mae: She'd drool over Zechs.
Shannon: True, Mina?
Mae: She'd jump Zechs.
Shannon(sweatdrop): ..........What about one of the guys?
Mae: Who, though?
Shannon: Heero?
Mae:...........Think about that....he'd probably try to shoot Treize.
Shannon(sighs): Or plant a bomb.....Trowa?
Mae: Much as I'd like that......it may not be the best plan.
Shannon: Too big of a distraction? (Mae nods) There's no way I'd suggest Duo, so that leaves WuFei......
Mae(briskly): No.
Shannon:.....Oookaay...So you really think it'll be ok for you to go alone?
Trowa: She's right chou....it may not be safe...
Mae: It's not safe to walk the streets on the way to work but that never stopped me, besides I'm a big girl I've been taking care of myself for years.
Quatre: I could go with you.
Mae:.......You may not want to.
Quatre(cute frown): Why not?
Mae: The methods I plan to use are not quite........Kosher.
Mina: Slut.
Trowa(eye raise): Excuse me?
Quatre: Miss Mina that isn't nice.
Crystal: Is she right Mae?
Mae: Crys, Crys, Crys, I'm not a liar and I'm not a slut.....I'm an actress.
Crystal(rolling eyes):.....right and I'm the Queen of Egypt.....
Mae: Anyway the point, your majesty, is that I'll be fine, and the meeting will take, at most, an hour.
Crystal(sticks her tongue out at Mae): Where?
Mae: At one of the parks, and no I won't tell you which one, you'll just follow. The point of meeting him at a park is that he can't try anything without the possibility of me making a scene.
Quatre(tilting head thoughtfully): That makes sense....but I still don't think you should go on your own......
Mae: Don't worry I'll be fine. (looks at Trowa) Really. (Trowa reluctantly nods)
Duo: Sooo.....................what are we gonna do for now?
Crystal(punches his arm): Idiot.
Mae: ......Well we could just hang and watch movies, since no one has any real plans..........(various agreements then arguements over what type of movie concluding with the decision to watch one movie from each genre leaving horror/slasher movie for last, so those who don't want to watch it can retire for the evening. )
+
Author's Note: Ok so this was extremely short chapter, and I can't think of anything witty to end with......anway we're reaching the end of this story. which means I have to plan out how the guys got to LV, how to get them home, how to have the good-byes, etc.
