:: “OK, Hilde…I dare you to tell us what you REALLY think of Duo and his attitude!” ::

*Gasp*

“…but I picked truth, not dare!”

:: “awww…same difference! Now SPILL!” ::

All of the girls (yes, even Cathy over in her corner with Trowa…they had suddenly paused their game-boy playing at the group gasp) leaned forward toward Hilde as she glanced from Duo, back to the Author, back to Duo, and so-forth.  They all had those eager-for-gossip looks on their faces.  The boys just rolled their eyes, but, too, seemed interested in what Hilde was going to say (Especially Duo!).  Dorothy snored.

“I hafta be totally honest?”

: “YES!” :  shouted all the girls, even the Author, in unison.  Duo, still hiding in his sleeping bag, began to look a little nervous.

“Well, truthfully, I think he’s-.”

:: “WHOAH! Dang, girl….I wanna keep this fic at a PG/PG-13 rating, thank-you-very-much!” ::

Hilde’s eyes when wide. “Y-you mean…you’re an…OMNIPOINT author?!?”

::Whistles innocently::

*Silence*

 

 

Far away from the land of fanfiction, in a place called NY, USA (where I’m from *^_^*), three girls were having a sleepover.

“Pass me the chips, Miellie.” Ashy said.  Just as the chips (mmmmm….potato chips…::starts drooling::) were passed, the girls suddenly heard something:

 

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

 

They looked up for a minute, as if trying to figure out where the sudden scream had come from, then back at each other 

“Jen must’ve told them she was omni point!” Ashy said.

“Yeah.” The two burst into laughter, but stopped when Miellie brought up an interesting question.

“Where’s Rachy?” she asked, noticing the third girl’s absence.  They started looking around for their comrad.  It was then that Ashy noticed something else missing.

“Have you seen the mint milanos?” she asked.  Miellie turned around from searching the closet (without luck).

“Um….the large bag?”

“Yeah.”

“not lately.” Suddenly, Miellie’s eyes went wide. “You don’t think…”

All of a sudden, a burst of hysterical giggling came from the hallway outside the room.  The two remaining girls looked at each other.  Ashy spoke up first.

“Oh…my…god…”

  

 

::covering hands with ears:: :: “Are you finished?” ::

“Yes.” Everyone said in unison.

::sweatdropps, but removes hands from ears::

“Hey…you’re not an anime character…how come you can sweatdrop too?” Duo asked

:: “Are you just trying to change the subject so I’ll forget about Hilde’s Truth?” ::

“um…no.”

:: “liar” ::

“ How do you…nevermind.”

:: “HA! And to answer your question…I can sweatdrop and do all those things cuz I’m the AUTHOR and said so…DUH!” ::

“…and so modest, too!” wu-wu muttered.

“WU-WU!?!? WHAT THE ****’S UP WITH THAT?”

:: “LANGUAGE!” ::

“ **** your ‘language’! First it was ‘wuffie’, now it’s wu-wu!”

“Wufei!” Sally exclaimed.

“Stay out of this, onna!” he screamed at her, then turned back to the Author, “I’ve HAD it with all these weak names, this stupid fic, and YOU!”

::Filing nails while ignoring wu-wu’s spazzing out::

“Pay attention when I’m speaking to you!”

:: “Give me one good reason why I should!” :: ::Blows on nails::

“GAH! That does is!” he screamed, before storning off into another part of the house.

::rolls eyes:: :: “He’ll be back before the end of the chapter!” ::  ::glances around the room::

Duo is still in his sleeping bag, but has moved into a more comfortable position (lying on his stomach with his head resting on his folded arms), Hilde’s sitting on a chair close to him, Heero’s occupying one of the recliner chairs, Relina’s sitting on the floor at his feet, cross-legged, Trowa & Cathy have abandoned the game-boys and were trading cards…but had paused to watch the fireworks, Quatre’s sitting on the couch with Kari, who had her feet up on the couch next to her and her head on Quatre’s shoulder, and Sally was sitting on the floor by the door with ‘wu-wu’ (::snickers::), until he had stormed off.  Dorothy was being all but ignored off to the side of the room, still unconscious and still snoring.  All were silent, and had paused during the ‘show’.

“If he doesn’t get lost!” Quatre replied to the Author’s comment.

:: “Good point….go after him, Sally.” ::

Sally’s eyes went wide at the suggestion, “Why me?”

:: “cuz you’re his girlfriend, not me!” :: :: “*mutters*thank god!” ::

“NANI!?! Says who?”

:: “Almost every fanfiction author I know” ::

“Yeah, but…if you relied on those people…Heero would be paired with Duo!” she protested.  Duo’s eyes widened, while Heero raised an eyebrow (Mr. Emotion, ain’t he?).  Everyone else gasped.

“You’ve done it now, Sally!” Relina exclaimed.

 (*note: in reality, I *do* tolerate yaoi, and have nothing whatsoever against yaoi fans, so I apologize if this cheesy fic-reference offends anyone.)

“Auuuggghhh! Make her stop! I’m sorry- I promise!” Sally screamed.

:: removes hands from ears::

:: “Will you go after him now?” ::

“Do I have a choice?”

:: “no” ::

“Ugh…fine.”  She got up and proceeded to go search for ‘wu-wu’

:: “Now then…where were we?” :: ::turns back to those still remaining::

“Uhh…it was Hilde’s turn to Truth or Dare someone!” Duo quickly volunteered

“But Hilde never gave her answer!” Cathy pointed out (Ahhh…she was listening to the game the entire time…interesting…).  Then, she quickly ran behind her brother to escape the glares coming from Shingami and his girlfriend.

:: “Oh, yeah…come on, Hilde, spill! And keep the rating of this fic PG if ya don’t mind!” ::

Hilde blushed as she muttered, “I think…mmphdinlermph”

:: “…whaaaa?” ::

Duo tried to surpress a giggle as he said, “Wazzzzuuuuuuuuuup!”

:: “Uggghh!  I’ll NEVER understand guys’ obsession with that commertial” ::

“It’s funny!” All the guys said at once, with Duo the loudest of them all

::rolls eyes:: ::“Whatever….now…WHAT did you say, Hilde?” ::

“…I said…I think he’s really sweet and all, but…can be a pain in the *** sometimes…”

:: “SOMETIMES?” ::

“OK, okay…often!”

:: “ There now, was that so bad?” ::

“Yes.” She muttered as Duo glared at her

:: “Oh, well…your turn!” ::

“Anyone else notice how many pages it’s take to get through Hilde’s Truth alone?” Relina suddenly brought up.

:: “Your point?” ::

“At this rate…this fic will go on forever!”

:: “…and that’s a bad thing?” ::

“YES!” everyone exclaimed.  Dorko snorted in response

:: “Humph! You people are impossible! Where’s my all-controlling, omnipoint laptop?” ::

“NANI!?!?!”

::searching for laptop:: :: “I keep it in case of poor-behaving-anime-character emergencies” ::

Sweatdropping. Then…

“Where’s Quatre?”

“…and Kari?”

::comes out from under desk:: :: “I dunno” ::

“We’re dropping like flies!”

“I haven’t seem them since Sally went after Wufei!”

“Maybe they’re trying to find a way outta this nightmare!”

“Zzzzzzzzz(snort)zzzzzzzzzz…” (guess who that was)

“….”

:: “Is that all you can say, Heero?” ::

“….”

:: “Guess so” ::

“IT’S ALL THE AUTHOR’S FAULT! SHE’S OUT TO GET US!” Duo screamed.

:: “I’m ignoring you” ::

“Who’s left?” Relina asked.

“Um…there’s you, me, Heero, Duo, Trowa, Cathy,…and her” Hilde replied

“And Dorothy’s still unconscious over there.” Relina added

:: “Only cuz I can’t kill her!” :: ::Glares at Heero, who simply shrugs::

“Where did those two go, anyways?” Hilde wondered

Duo chuckled, “Maybe they…”

:: “Ew-no! NO HENTAI! I AM only 15, ya know!” ::

“SHEESH! So-rry!”

:: “Better be…” :: ::Goes back to searching under bed for laptop::

“What are we gonna do until she finds that laptop and takes away the last of our freedom?” Relina asked

:: “FOUND IT!” :: ::Triumphantly comes out from under bed, holding black laptop in hands::

“Never mind…” she added

::Giggling, goes over to couch, and turns on laptop::

“…have you been eating sugar?” Heero asked (He spoke!)

::holds up large bag of chocolates (mmmm…chocolate…), and grins:: ::”Yup!”::

“Oy, vey!” Duo exclaimed

“…be thankful she’s not TOO hyper!” Hilde pointed out

:: “…not YET!” :: ::giggles from sugar rush::

“…oy, vey!” Hilde exclaimed

“Hey, that’s MY line!” Duo whined

“No, it’s not!”

“Yes, it is!”

“No!”

“Yes!”

“NO!”

“YES!”

:: “Nope…I got it from ‘The Nanny’” ::

“Told ya!”

“Oh, be quiet!”

:: “This coming from YOU?!?” ::

“Har-har” Everyone else started laughing until…

“Where’s Trowa and Cathy?” Relina asked

“AUGH! NOT AGAIN! IT’S THE AUTHOR! SHE’S BEHIND THIS! SHE’S OUT TO GET US ALL! SHE-.”

:: “Duo?” ::

“What?”

:: “Shut up” ::

“B-but….it’s all YOUR fault!  Our rights are being invaded here!”

:: “What rights?  You’re all ANIME CHARACTERS!” ::

“So?  We shouldn’t hafta stand here while you do unspeakable torture to us because it’s just not fai-“

Just then, Trowa ran into the room.

“Pikachu, u here?”

Silence.

“Come out-come out wherever you are!  I’ll find you!” He screamed as he goes running into another room (they’re playing hide-and-seek).

:: “You were saying?” ::

“uhh…never mind”

:: “That’s what I though..…ahh, all booted up and ready to go!” :: ::starts clicking on keyboard::

 

*All characters obey the Author, stop running off, and come back.*

 

…nothing happens.

:: “…Dang! This thing must be busted again!” :: ::throws laptop across the room; it lands on the bed::

All remaining characters let out the giant breath they had been holding.

“Now what?” Hilde asked.

“umm…”

:: “Well, let’s see…I certainly can’t tell you what’s going on with wu-wu and sally cuz I can’t even pronounce half the words coming outta that boy’s mouth, let alone spell ‘em…I’m gonna keep it a secret for now what Kari and Quatre are up to…” ::

“Meaning she don’t know” Duo muttered

:: “Ya know, I can always put back in the chair” ::

“Eeep!” he pulled the covers over his head in fear

:: “I know! I’ll have you guys MST a fic! I’ve got the perfect one, too!” ::

“…meaning she’s run out of gags!” Duo mumbled from under the blanket

:: “I’ve got the rope right here, Duo.” ::

“…like I said: Great Idea!” he quickly exclaimed, still under the blanket

:: “That’s better…Hey, Quatre! Kari!” ::

“Yes?” They replied in unison as they suddenly appear in the room

“How does she DO that?” Relina whispered to Hilde

“Beats me.”

:: “We’re bored, so we’re gonna MST a fic, ‘k?” ::

They both nodded in agreement as they took a seat near the others.  All of a sudden, Dorko woke up

“Huh? Whaa? What’s going on?” she asked, while holding her head where the Author hit her (::snickers::)

::is about to knock her out again, but had a better idea:: ::[insert evil grin here]::

:: “You’re gonna MST a fic” ::

“Oh…okay” she sat down near the others

“What about popcorn?” Duo asked as he stuck his head out

:: “Picky-picky!” :: ::bowl of popcorn appears in front of Duo::

“What…no butter?”

:: “Don’t push your luck! You best be thankful I didn’t put poison in it!” ::

Duo looks in the popcorn carefully “You didn’t…did you?”

:: “not yet!” ::

“Eeep! It’s fine just the way it is!”

:: “That’s better…I’ve got the fic for you guys right here…roll ‘em!” ::

“Who’s she talking to?” Hilde whispered.  Relina shrugged (Hilde had abandoned the chair, and was now sitting next to Relina on the floor, BTW)

 

“A Day in the Life of a Pokemon” by-

 

:: “Whoa-whoa-whoa! Who’s been messin’ with my fic files?!?!?!” ::

All turn to look at Trowa.

“What?” he asked, as if nothing was wrong.

“POKEMON?” Duo exclaimed

:: “Grr….i’ll hafta fix this and move on to the REAL fic…..Take two!” ::

 

“Misty and Ash’s First Date” by-

 

:: “………TROWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” ::

“It wasn’t me this time! I swear! I don’t even like that couple!” he pleads

Everyone sweatdropps at his attempted alibi

:: “Then who-” ::

Cathy whistles innocently

:: “CATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” ::

“What?”

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again……………. POKEMON?” Duo exclaimed again

:: “Grrr….Now I hafta fix this AGAIN! Will you two STAY OUT OF MY MSTING FILES!!!!! Ahem…..Take Three!” :: 

 

“When Pokemon come out and attack the fanfic authors who make fun of them” by-

 

Needless to say, nobody has much to say about this one; a cricket chirps somewhere in the background.

::  “OK…who’s the wise guy this time?!?!?!?!?!” ::

Both Cathy and Trowa look away and whistle innocently.

:: “GAAAHHHH! THAT DOES IT, YOU TWO!!!!!” ::   ::Both Cathy and Trowa suddenly find themselves tied up in back-to-back chairs, much as Duo was before::

Everybody else cheers madly

::takes a bow:: :: “Thank you, thank you! Now, without furthur interruptions” :: ::glares at the chair’s latest ‘victims’:: :: “I present to you……Take Four: The REAL fic!”::

(The fic is Italisized……please ignore my spelling……and I’ve changed the quote style so it’s easier for me to type, and for you to understand.  Now that we’ve cleared THAT up……back to the fic)

 

“I've Never”

 

Quatre: never what?

Duo: …written a good fic?

Quatre: Duo!

 

A Gundam Wing Silly fic

by Jaelle and Orla

 

Heero: (to Jaelle and Orla) Omae o Kourosu

Duo: and just how do you plan to kill Authors?

Heero: by shooting their computers

__________________________________________________________________

Fanfic Authors Everywhere: (clutching their computers for dear life) NOOOOOOO!!!

__________________________________________________________________

 

This fic was inspired by the drinking game “I’ve Never”

 

Relina: …which explains the title

 

, in which participants state something they've never done:

 

Hilde: ….which explains the name of the game

 

"I've never watched Gundam Wing for eight hours solid", and anyone who HAS done this, has to drink (a mouthful, it is not necessary to empty the glass :-).

By the way, if anyone were ever to use that statement in a game of I've Never,

 

Duo: they’d be violating copyright laws, because these authors said it first

 

both Orla and myself

 

Duo: who’s “myself”? I thought there were only two authors

Quatre: I think the second author’s typing, and using first person.

Duo: …huh?

Quatre:…never mind

 

would have to drink. :-)

Disclaimer:

 

Hilde: a.k.a. the “don’t sue me!” paragraph

 

We don't own Gundam Wing or the characters... although we wish we did. Gundam Wing is the property of its creators who are wonderful people for producing such an amazing series - We love you guys! (And the Gundam boys too! (^_-).

 

G-boys: (sweatdrop) riiiight

G-girls: (deathglare)

 

We're making no money from this fic. Don't bother suing us, we spent all our money on anime!

---------------------------------------------

Duo: …I think that means the actual fic is starting…..

Everyone: (settles in their seats, Duo holding a BIG bowl of popcorn)

 

"Hi, Sally!" Hilde beamed as she opened the door. "I'm glad you and Wufei could make it!"

Sally grinned. "Well, it's been pretty quiet lately so I thought we could use an evening of relaxation."

 

Heero: then what are they doing at the Maxwell residence?

 

"_You_ thought that!" grumbled Wufei beside her. "_I_ on the other hand think that this is a _stupid_ idea and..."

"Oh, don't be such a sore loser!" said Sally as they stepped inside. "You lost, I won, we're here."

Wufei scowled. "I know you rigged the cards!"

 

Hilde: (rolls her eyes) of course…he finally gets beaten by a girl, and immediately assumes she cheated!

 

Sally blinked. "How do you rig the cards in a game of Snap?!"

 

Kari: actually, It’s pretty easy; first, you hafta shuffle them so that you will easily get each card you wish when dealing, then make sure you’re the one to distrubute the cards, making sure that you get the exact cards you want.  Next, make sure that you place the two major decks slightly closer to you for easier disposal.  Or you could just not put a card down if you have it, just in case you have more cards lined up in a row in another “Snap”

Everyone else: (stares at Kari)

Quatre: …where did you learn this?

Kari: I saw it on a “secrets revealed” show one night about card tricks and games

 

Hilde giggled and led them through to the living room. "You guys are the lucky last, everyone else turned up more or less on time."

 

Heero: even Duo?

Duo: well, it _is_  my house

Heero: still….

 

"Sorry," said Sally. "But it wasn't MY fault. You know all that garbage about women never running to time?

 

Hilde/Sally/Kari: (in unison) of course…a man said it.

 

Well, whoever came up with that has never had to wait for Wufei to do his hair!"

"I know," sighed Hilde. "Duo... just takes HOURS! And that's when _I_ help!"

 

Duo: Hey!  I don’t take _that_ long!

Hilde: …yes, you do

 

And on that note,

 

Quatre: …set in the key of “C”

 

she opened the living room door.

"Wufei! Sally!" Quatre Raberba Winner

 

Quatre: (sighs) why must people always use my middle name, too?

Heero: because they’re considered talented if they can actually spell it right

 

 stood up in excitement. "Welcome! It's so good to see you again!"

"Hey guys! What's up?" Duo Maxwell waved from the couch where he was sitting beside Heero Yuy, who contented himself with a glare in their direction, and Relena Darlian,

 

Duo: so now it’s back to “Darlian”?  No offense, ‘Jousan, but can you make up your mind? Peacecraft, or Darlian?

Relina: Technically, it’s both….Peacecraft is my birth name, but Darlian is my adopted name

Duo: good point

 

 who smiled and bowed her head.

Catherine Bloom and Trowa Barton

 

Quatre: ,brother and sister, even though they have two different last names

 

were sitting on the window seat, heads bowed over a small computer, minds frantically working to accomplish a single goal, their mission desperate.

 

Duo: Finding a way to stop all Authors and Authoresses!

Heero: Getting revenge for English Anime Dubbers!

Relina: Assassinating the creators of Pokemon!

Duo/Heero: Good one!

 

"Thunder shock!" Catherine squealed. "Thunder shock NOW!!!"

 

Everyone:

Duo: Is there ANY fic out there where those two AREN’T obsessed with Pokemon?

Quatre: yeah, but Trowa’s either taken a vow of silence, or he’s Shakesperian

Duo:…That kid’s not normal, I tell you!

 

"Sorry about that," said Hilde apologetically. "Ever since Pokemon: Teal came out no one's been able to get them to stop."

 

Hilde: Wait a sec….(counts the number of games there are now) Gold…Silver…Red….Blue….Yellow………there’s no teal, unless…..

Duo: Noooooooo! Not _MORE_ Pokemon games! It’s taking over the world!!!!

Everyone Else: (sweatdropps, but also agrees with him somewhat)

 

"Gotta catch em all," said Trowa. "Must catch them all... Must... Ninmu ryokai..."

Heero raised an eyebrow.

 

Duo: …the first sign of life he’s shown all night

 

At that moment Dorothy Catalonia came in from the kitchen, carrying a plate. "Hordeuvres, anyone?" she asked.

"What does she think this is?" muttered Hilde. "A restaurant?"         

 

Duo: (Dorothy)  ….you mean it’s not?

Dorothy: Hey!

 

Sally looked at Hilde, "I'm surprised you invited her .I thought you didn't get along."

"We don't," said Hilde. "And she invited herself along with Relena."

 

Relina: hmmm…._that_ sounds familiar…….

 

"Oh."

Duo stood up. "Hey everyone, gather round, gather round... Catherine, Trowa... PLEASE put that down...

 

Duo: Hey…that rhymes!

Hilde: (rolls her eyes) _very_ observant, Duo

 

 Now, you're probably all wondering why we invited you all over.

 

Everyone: not really….

 

Well, tonight is the anniversary of when Hilde and I first met, and we decided to do something fun."

"Oh God," said Wufei. "I KNEW this was a bad idea."

 

Duo: But he thinks _anything_ social is a bad idea!

 

"Oh shut up."

"We thought we'd invite all our friends

 

Kari: and Dorothy

 

... more or less... around to play a game."

"A game????" asked Heero.

"I want Pikachu!" demanded Catherine.

 

Duo: You can have it; _I_ sure as heck don’t want it!

 

"NOT Pokemon," said Duo. "A drinking game. You see, back when we were fighting White Fang, I suggested that when we get back we all have some champagne. But Mister I'm too innocent Winner,

 

Kari: (rolls her eyes) Oh, come on, he’s not *that* innocent…

Everyone: (turns and stares at Kari and Quatre, who is now blushing like mad)

Duo: you mean to tell me….

Quatre: NO!

Kari: I didn’t mean it like that!

Duo: (eyeing them warily) suuuuure you didn’t……..

Kari: (turns to Hilde) Hilde, may I?

Hilde: be my guest…..

Kari: (gets up, and whacks Duo with Hilde’s mallet, which seems to come out of nowhere)

Duo: OW!  Dang, Q-man……she hits harder than Hilde!

 

 

 nixed that, saying that we were underage."

"Well we were!" said Quatre.

"So... we're not anymore," said Duo. "Hilde, the champagne!"

 

Hilde: (as fanfic self) What did you just call me?!?

 

"All of it?"

"Yes."

"I can't carry five crates by myself!!!" Hilde protested.

"Five... crates????" said Relena. "Um... this is the sort of thing that gets politicians into lots of trouble and I'm not ready to resign yet."

"Don't worry Miss Relena, we're all friends here," said Dorothy.

 

Quatre: this coming from the girl who stabbed me….

 

"Now I'm worried," said Relena.

"Don't worry about it," said Duo. "We have a jamming field on, and no recording devices are going to be able to work through it."

 

Heero: (as Government Agents outside house with high-tech eavesdropping equipement)  That’s what HE thinks…..

 

Dorothy and Sally grimaced, *Damn.*

The champagne was lugged in, and the first bottles were poured. Everyone sat around in a circle, and Duo began

 

Duo: (gets up, and taps Hilde on the head) Duck….(taps Relina) Duck…..(taps Quatre) Duck…..(taps…er….avoids the blonde girl who still has the mallet in her hand, and taps Dorothy) Duck……(taps Heero) Goose!

Heero: (Deathglareä)

Duo: eep! (sits back down in a hurry).

 

"The rules are quite simple. We go around in a circle, and each person says something they've never done. Like, uh, 'I've never kicked the wall impotently when the computer didn't work'."

"Duo!" screamed Hilde.

"OR like 'I've never eaten a live rat'," Duo amended hastily.

 

G-girls: oh, yuck!!!

Duo: but, as we all know, this is a FANFIC, and therefore, NOT REAL, meaning I have NEVER eaten a live rat…..understand?

 

"Then, anyone who HAS done that thing, has to drink. NOT the whole glass, unless you want to, but slightly more than a sip. Any questions?"

 

Quatre: what did the rat taste like?

Duo: I wouldn’t know, considering I’VE NEVER REALLY DONE THAT!!!!!!

 

"Is it too late to leave?" Wufei asked.

"Yes, the doors are locked and we know where you live."

Sally nudged Wufei, "Just relax for once."

 

Relina: _that_’ll be the day!

 

"I will go first," Duo declared. "I have thought long and hard for this one."

 

Heero: wow…Duo started thinking?

Duo: aww…shadup

 

Everyone waited with bated breath.

 

Hilde: and, in a sudden twist of events, decided to go fishing, using our breath as bait

 

"I have never punched a friend in the stomach and had them locked in prison." Duo said.

 

Duo: yeah! (glares at Heero)

Heero: (knowing all-too-well how to handle this, simply glares back)

Duo: (realizing there’s no way of winning this one, and that his opponent just might kill him, quickly turns his attention back to the fanfic)

Hilde: (softly, to Relina) Heero: one million, Duo: one

Relina: (softly, to Hilde) one?

Hilde: pity point…::snickers::

 

Trowa and Heero looked at each other. "Still carrying a grudge about that I see," said Heero, as they both reached for their glasses.

Hilde was next. "I've never asked the one I'm in love with to come and kill me."

 

Duo: *coughrelinacough*

Relina: (blushes)

 

Relena blushed and sipped delicately as everyone grinned at her.

Next was Trowa's turn.

 

Heero: If this has _anything_ to do with Pokemon…..

 

"I've never had my Gundam blown up by others," he said quietly.

"You LOST it once," pointed out Wufei.

 

Duo:  yes; he’s lost his Gundam once, _BUT_, he’s lost his mind, not once, but twice!  First, he lost it to amnesia….and then, he lost it to Pokemon….

 

"Doesn't count."

Duo scowled. "Well, MINE wouldn't have been blown up if it hadn't been for a certain SOMEONE in this very room!"

 

Duo: yeah….(glares at Trowa)

 

Trowa smiled as the four other Gundam pilots drank their drinks.

 

Quatre: waitasec……I never did…..

Duo: Plotholes, Q-man…Plotholes

 

Then it was Catherine's turn.

"I've never sat inside a Gundam," she said.

The five pilots reached for their drinks.

 

Kari: Well _that_ was a given….

 

So did Sally, Hilde and Relena.

"WHAT???!!!" screamed Wufei. Duo blushed and so did Relena

 

Quatre: I wonder why they blushed….

Kari: (reading ahead and snickering) I know why…

Quatre: (peeks over her shoulder) …oh…my….

 

"Don't worry, it wasn't Nataku," Sally said, drinking.

 

Duo: (Sally) It was your Gundam

 

"But... I just HAD to have a look and there was Heavyarms just SITTING there."

Trowa raised an eyebrow.

"Hmph," said Wufei. "My turn, let's see. I've never cheated at cards!" he glared at Sally, who didn't move towards her glass. Unlike Duo, Dorothy and Catherine.

Trowa raised BOTH his eyebrows at Catherine, who smiled and looked away. "You don't know EVERYTHING about me little brother," she said

 

Duo: I should _hope_ not!

Hilde: DUO!

Duo:  (innocently) what?

Kari: (to Hilde) here ya go…(hands her the mallet)

Hilde: thank you, Kari (whacks Duo over the head)

Duo: ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow-ow!

.

"It would appear not. Sally?"

Sally composed her thoughts. "Hmmm... I've never tried to kill my friends."

Wufei, Heero, Quatre and Dorothy reached for their drinks.

 

Duo: Okay, that’s impossible…how could _she_ try to kill her friends when she never had any?

Quatre: …..speaking of….where did she go, anyways?

Kari: (looks away and whistles innocently; no one notices, though)

 

Hilde held up her hand. “Does it count if you weren’t friends before, but became so later?”

"Er... Yes," said Sally.

Duo and Hilde both drank.

Duo was beginning to look somewhat flushed.

 

Hilde: since when did anybody give him a swirly?

Relina: (snickers)

 

Next was Heero's turn. "I've never danced round in my underwear, singing."

Duo groaned and reached for his glass.

 

All but Duo: (bursts out laughing)

Duo: (spits out mouthful of popcorn) WHAT?!?!?!?!?

 

So did Relena.

 

Everybody: (stops laughing and stares at Relina)

 

"Miss Relena?" gasped Dorothy.

"I was six!" said Relena defensively.

"Awww... that must have been so cute," said Quatre.

 

Kari: (whacks Quatre over the head)

Quatre: ITAI! Not fair!

Kari: that’s what you get

Duo: (snickers)

Hilde: (whacks him with the mallet)

Duo: OW! HIL-DE!

 

Relena blushed, then Hilde tapped her shoulder and handed her a photo. "Duo doesn't have your age excuse." she said. Relena looked at the photo and giggled.

 

Heero: so there _is_ such a thing as Karma….

Duo: (still grasping head in pain) what do you mean by that?

 

"Hey!!!" complained Duo. "No fair! You're all picking on me," he hiccuped. "Well that's just FINE!"

He fished a photo out of his jacket pocket and handed it around to everybody. It was a lovely "early morning" shot of Hilde.

"Ummm... not a morning person I take it?" asked Dorothy.

"DUO!!!!" shouted Hilde.

 

Duo: (quickly runs out of the room before Hilde can whack him again)

 

"Relena, you're up!" shouted Sally, trying to head off the carnage.

Relena tried to think of something no one could ever have done. "I've never used whipped cream for anything other than food."

 

Relina: not true…

Kari: food fights don’t count

Duo: (slithers back into the room, and sits FAR away from Hilde)

 

Hilde and Duo paled. "How did you..." they both stopped and reached for their drinks.

 

Hilde: Okay…..NOW these authors are going TOO far…..

 

So did Trowa and Catherine.

 

Everyone: ….no, NOW they’ve gone too far!

 

"Trowa??? Catherine???" shrieked Quatre.

"We work in the circus Quatre," reminded Trowa. "I am a clown!

 

Little Brother of Author: (runs into the room with GIANT mallet---even bigger than Hilde’s) Clowns?  Where? (sees Trowa)…..(screams like a girl)……(Faints, wakes up, then runs over, and bonks him over the head with the mallet…..the mallet just squeaks on contact)…….(turns to Reader)…hehe…it goes ‘squeak!’…..(runs back out of the room, apparently frightened, and muttering) I hate clowns, I hate clowns, I hate clowns, I hate clowns…..(continues muttering this, while going to get a Capri Sun to drink)……..

G-Gang:

Relina: o…k….

 

 Custard, whipped cream, chocolate mousse - I've thrown em all."

"Mmmmm... chocolate mousse," said Sally who had been sneaking sips at her glass between rounds. Wufei regarded her with a look of horror.

 

Duo: (Wufei) You stole my drink!

 

"My turn, my turn," said Dorothy. She shot Trowa a penetrating glance. "I've never slept with Quatre."

 

Quatre/Kari: Damn right!

Everybody: (stares at Quatre and Kari)

 

Trowa merely stared at her whilst Quatre sputtered and choked. Dorothy looked disappointed, and faintly relieved. So, there was hope after all.

 

Kari: (Glaring at the fanfic Dorothy while getting the possessive-girlfriend look in her eyes) Not. A. Chance. In. Hell………

 

Quatre ground his teeth. How could she? This meant war!

 

Everybody: (whining) A-GAIN ?!?!?

 

"My turn!" he said. "I've NEVER crept NAKED into another person's room to try and seduce them with my feminine wiles!” He shuddered at the thought

 

Everybody: ….

Quatre: (turning a slight shade of green)

Kari: (A cross between the Zero System look and Deathglare in her eyes)

 

Dorothy turned on him, infuriated. "How could you..." she drank from her glass.

 

Quatre: (runs out of the room...moments later, vomiting sounds can be heard coming from the bathroom)

Duo: Poor kid….everything happens to him just because Dorothy is considered his Female counterpart

Kari: (Glaring at Duo) What?!?

Duo: (in partial fear) I didn’t necessarily mean his girlfriend….it’s like Me and Hilde, Heero and Relina, Trowa and Cathy, Wufei and Sally……..female counterpart, only in her exception, she’s evil…..

Kari: (calming down a little, and content with glaring at the fanfic)

Quatre: (wearily comes back into the room, sitting back down next to Kari)

 

"And here I thought you were the weak one.

 

Heero: apparently, she’s never met Zero-system Quatre…..

 

 It's time to show you the true glory of war!"

Everyone tried real hard not to think about this.

 

Everyone: (trying real hard to do the same)…………..

 

"Back to the beginning,"

 

Everybody: noooooooo! It…just….won’t….end!

 

 said Duo. "Hmmm... I've never..."

***

Several more rounds passed, as more and more secrets came out.

"I've never had sex in zero g," hiccuped Sally.

Duo and Hilde sighed and reached for their glasses.

 

Duo/Hilde: I _swear_ these authors have it in for us!!!

 

"How the hell did you know about that?" demanded Duo.

Hilde sniffed. "Sally, I thought you'd keep that a secret!"

"Ooops, sorry..."

Wufei sighed. "I've never had sex in..." his mind wandered. "A Gundam."

 

Duo: (snickers, and is about to make a remark)

Hilde: (is to far away, so she chucks the mallet at him)

Duo: XoX

Kari: …….good aim

Hilde: thank you

 

Heero and Relena went bright red and picked up their glasses

 

Heero/Relina: …………………………………….

 

"Oh you're kidding..."

 

Everyone: (realizing they have yet to comment, stares at Heero and Relina……eyes WIDE open)

Relina: (gasping for air)

Heero: (Deathglare, and cocks out his gun)

Everyone: (quickly turns away, not wishing to die)

 

Duo and Hilde looked at each other, "Why didn't we think of that?" Duo asked.

"Prob'ly cos it would be too cramped," said Hilde. "I mean, where would you put..."

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" screamed Wufei, Heero and Relena.

***

"I've never sneaked a kiss on the object of my affection," said Catherine.

There was a mass movement towards the glasses as Hilde, Relena, Dorothy, Quatre, and Sally all moved forwards.

 

Duo: Hmmm……only the girls drank on that one……..

Quatre: Hey!  I did, too!

Duo: Like I said, only the girls……

Hilde: (sighs, hand mallet to Quatre)

Quatre: (Zero-Sytem Look, heads towards Duo)

Duo: (shrieks, then runs out of the room, Quatre on his heels, in terror)

Hilde: (shaking her head) you’d think he’d learn by now…….

Kari: or at least break the mallet……

 

 

"Hmmmm..."

 

Duo/Quatre: (come back running into the room, Duo still screaming)

Kari: Quatre…..

Quatre: (stops) what?

Kari: As much as I’d love to see you bash his head in…..SIT!

Quatre: yes’m (goes and sits back down)

Duo: (snickers, until Hilde pulls in down into sitting position by his braid)

Hilde: that goes for you, too…..or next time, we’ll LET him catch you!

 

However, this was soon dwarfed by Trowa's next statement.

"I've never been insulted by Wufei," said Trowa.

 

Duo: But that’s IMPOSSIBLE……Wufei insults EVERYONE……..

Heero: (to Duo) but mostly you

 

Everyone but Trowa and Wufei went for their glasses.

"What's THAT supposed to mean!" Wufei demanded.

 

Duo: just that he insults everybody……what’d you THINK it meant?

 

Sally patted his shoulder. "Don'cha worry Wu-chan," she said. "We all know that'sh how you show affection."

 

Relina/Hilde: riiiiiight………

 

"Yes, we noticed how you sculled your glass Sally," said Relena.

***

"I've never kissed another person of the same sex," said Heero.

 

Everybody: DOWN WITH YAOI! WHA-HOO!

 

Quatre and Trowa exchanged glances, smiles, and glasses to drink.
