It was, relatively speaking, a pretty peaceful afternoon in the Authoress Realm.  This means, or course, Wufei had chosen *not* to continue his ranting (this decision had come to him somewhere along the lines of the “PMS” threat—he may have believed women were not meant for the battlefield, but he wouldn’t even wish a PMSing-onna on his worst enemy!). While the Authoress was off in the Void, looking for something she deemed, “crucial for the next song,” each of the pilots were occupying themselves with something.  Duo, for example, was trying to solve a tiny mystery he had come across in the last chapter:

 

Duo: <eyes still wide in shock, staring off into space>…his *WIFE*?!?

 

Wufei had requested a copy of the Holy Bible from the Authoress to see if the “turn the other cheek” rule really existed, and was surprised (and somewhat pleased) to discover just how Male-dominated the Roman Catholic Religion is:

 

Wufei: <skimming through the pages> Adam…Noah…Jesus…I should think about converting…<turns the page, and reads on>

 

(I’m sorry to all fellow Christians; I mean, I’m a devoted R.C. and all, but either it’s just me, or Catholicism is *completely* male-dominated! I swear!)

 

Trowa, Heero, and Quatre were continuing their previously mentioned game of “Castle”, minus Duo:

 

Duo: <eye starting to twitch> he…his…Wufei…wife?  But…married…he…fan girls…married…I’m supposed to be the cute one!

 

Trowa/Quatre/Heero: <pretending they don’t know him>

 

…I did say *relatively* speaking, didn’t I?

 

Anyhow, it was a good ten minutes before the Authoress returned, large box in hand.  At the sight of her, the five pilot’s jaws dropped.  She had obviously changed clothes in honor of the Christmas holidays: she had on a mid-thigh-length, long-sleeved, U-necked, red Dress with fuzzy white trimmings and little bells hanging from the cuffs, a slightly-too-small Santa Hat, and knee-high red leather boots.

 

Me: <grining, twirls around once> So, you like my outfit?

 

G-pilots: <suddenly seem to have lost their voices, except for Duo, who’s still twitching>

 

Me: <still grins> I’ll take that as a “yes” <reaches into the box> Moving on, I got your costumes!

 

G-pilots: <sweatdropping, nervous look on their faces>…costumes?

 

Me: Yup; you boys are gonna help me with *this* song: <holds up one of the “costumes”, then starts counting softly> 3…2…1…<in unison with Wufei> INJUSTICE!!!

 

 

~*~

 

<Heero, Trowa, Duo, and Wufei all walk out wearing curly, blonde wigs (think: blonde Shirley Temple), each Glaring at the Authoress>

 

Quatre: <sweatdropping> Is this *completely* necessary?

 

Me: No, but when is anything I ever do “completely necessary”? <turns to muses> Chibi-Chibi! Chibi-Quatre! Start the music!

 

 

**Cue Music**

 

Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Mambo Number Five…

 

Me: Oh, for cryin’ out loud, that’s the wrong music!

Chibi-Quatre: <over intercom> Sorry!

 

 

 

**Cue RIGHT music**

 

 

Although Quatre’s blonde, he’s the brains of the group

(He’s the only one so far who’s avoided Cathy’s soup)

 

All but Quatre: <shudder in remembrance>

 

He’ll never have to worry ‘bout going on dates

‘Cause he’s got more money than even Bill Gates….

 

Duo: <Quatre> Donald Trump, eat your heart out!

 

But he’s a blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah

A platinum blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Me: You should see all of his fan girls, there’s more than I can count 

Duo: (But that’s not really to say that it’s such a high amount)

 

Me: <smacks Duo upside the head>

 

A “bishie” blonde: (Me: B-L-O-N-D!)

He’s such a Blonde (G-boys: But not as blonde as ~J.C.~!)

 

Me: Hey! <glares at G-boys>

 

He plays the violin, with Trowa on the flute

(And can even play Chopin on the piano to boot!)

 

Me: <attempts to play “Chopstix” on a toy keyboard>

Quatre: <expertly performs “The Entertainer” on a grand piano>

Me: <tosses keyboard over shoulder> showoff!

 

We know from experience that he’s very, very wise,

Duo: <rolling his eyes> Yet every time he kills, he *has* to apologize:

Quatre: (Gomen…)

 

Wufei: A weakling Blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Trowa: When we ran to outer space, he helped spare another minute:

Duo: <slings an arm over Quatre’s shoulde> Tried to detonate his Gundam, with Blondie here still in it!

 

*still* Duo: But he failed too  ((Others: nyah, nyah, nyah))

Quatre: <turns red> …well, so did you!  ((Others: nyah, nyah, nyah))

 

He almost didn’t make it, but the self-destruct mode missed ‘im

All but Quatre: …and, kami, don’t look now; he’s in the ZERO system!

 

Me: <speaking> Oh…shoot…what was it? Umm, advice…that was it…Oh, yeah, okay: Duck, Trowa, Duck!

 

Quatre: That was uncalled for.

Me: <glomps him> Sa-wy Qua-chan, but I just *had* to!  I swear!

 

Cause he’s a blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah:

A skitzo blonde, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Wufei: <shudders> Don’t bring that damn onna into this…(1)

 

Lost in his little world, completely full of innocence--

Heero: …or at least, until he’s mad and blows up colonies as he vents

 

Yup, that’s our blonde (B-L-I-N-D)

Z-system Blonde (Duo: there goes another colony!)

 

Me: <fwaps Duo upside the head>

 

Quatre: <speaking> I just wanted to say that being chosen as the very first ZERO pilot/Kinda…well…blows, for lack of better words/Right now, I’m satisfied with using Sandrock Custom/And leave the suicidal mind-meddling machine in the hands of…Heero….

 

Heero: Hn

 

Yup, he’s a blonde; hell, yeah, yeah

A stupid blonde; yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Heero: and just what is *that* supposed to mean?

 

Me: Some think he’s wimpy; but I say: NOT TRUE!

Duo: All he needs is just a really good scr—

 

All but Duo:  DUO!!!

Quatre: <blushes furiously>

 

‘Cause he’s a blonde: (Me: B-L…I don’t know! ^_^)

 

Duo/Heero/Trowa/Wufei: They’re both a blonde: hell, yeah, yeah

 

Me: Hey, wait a second here…

 

Duo/Heero/Trowa/Wufei: Completely blonde: yeah, yeah, yeah

 

Me: This is mutiny!

 

Duo/Heero/Trowa/Wufei: LEGALLY BLONDE; yeah, yeah, yeah!

 

Me: hmm…I liked that movie…

Others: <sweatdrop>

 

**music ends**

 

 

Duo: can we *please* take off these stupid wigs now?

 

Me: <smirking> but you guys look so CUTE in them!

 

G-pilots: <sweatdropping>

 

Me: <sighs> oh, fine…

 

Heero/Trowa/Duo/Wufei: <immediately take off the stupid wigs, build a miniature bonfire, and enjoy watching the damn things burn>

 

Me: uh…isn’t that kinda overkill?

 

Heero: <holds wig in his hand, staring at it> Omae o korosu <throws it in the fire> Mission Complete….

 

Others: 0.o

 

Me: Oookay…now, if you’ll excuse me…<gets up; bells on her dress jingle as she moves> I have a few things to fetch for the next paradox…<goes back into the void>

 

Quatre/Duo/Wufei: <stare at Heero and Trowa> Your turn!

 

Heero/Trowa: <stare at each other, silently wondering which one of them is next> …
