It was a typical day in the Authoress realm—normal, no; typical, yes.  The Gundam Boys were hanging around after Duo’s song parody seeing as…well, Wufei had a few major “issues” he wished to so *politely* point out, and refused to leave until he did so:

 

 

Wufei: <ranting somewhere along the lines of why “onnas” shouldn’t own their own computers…>

 

 

It might be noted that everyone had *long* since stopped listening to him, preferably around the time he started switching between English and Chinese. 

 

 

Quatre/Duo/Heero/Trowa: <engaged in a riveting game of “Castle”¹ to keep themselves occupied. >

 

Me: <scribbling furiously on a notepad>

 

Duo: What *are* you writing, anyhow?

 

Me: <looks up from notebook> Let’s put it this way:  Karma’s working too slow today, so I decided to work my own revenge…

 

G-boys (minus Wufei): O…kay…

 

Wufei: <without missing a beat> …are you listening to me, onna?

 

Me: <doesn’t even bother looking back up> No. <scribbles a few more notes down, then holds out notebook in triumph> Finished!

 

Wufei: What now?

 

Me: <walks over to computer, and sits down> Another song Parody—to a song from “Mulan”

 

Duo/Heero/Trowa/Quatre: …it’s about Wufei, isn’t it?

 

Me: yup; Someone wrote me a review last time saying there was *no* way I could write a parody for all you pilots, so of course, I took it as a challenge. Plus, someone else requested I do Wufei next…so…<makes “^_^” face> I did!

 

Wufei: WHAT?!?

 

Me: <smirks> Maybe *this* will shut him up.

 

Wufei: <glaring> I’ll get you for this, onna

 

Me: yeah, yeah…that’s what they all say.  Chibi-Chibi! Chibi-Quatre! Start the Music!

 

 

**cue the music**

 

Give it to be baby (uh-huh, uh-huh) Give it to be baby…

 

Wrong music.

Chibi-Quatre: (v/o) Sorry!

Duo: Aww…

 

 

**cue the RIGHT music**

 

 

Let’s get down to business-I got a tale to tell

‘Bout the Gundam Pilot who’s been known to yell

 

Wufei: KISAMA!

Me: yeah, kinda like that.

 

He’s the biggest pig I ever met,

But you can bet, before I’m through

I’ll make a gentleman out of ‘Wu…

 

Duo: She’s got her work cut out for her…

Wufei: <muttering incoherently in Chinese>

Subtle as a train wreck,

Ranting on and on

Once he serves his “justice,”

Then he’s sud’nly gone

You’re a chauvinist, loud, obnoxious boy

And you haven’t got a clue

Mr. Know-to-worship-Nataku…

 

Wufei: yeah…your point?

Me: Nataku is a *female* war goddess.²

Wufei:

Others: <snicker>



(Wufei: I soon won’t forget this, onna)

(Me: You know that you don’t scare me, Wuffie)

(Quatre: Boy, I have to say she’s got valor…)

 

Duo: What’s that?

Quatre: Guts.

Duo: Oh…


(Wufei: Where the hell’s that damn katana?)

(Trowa: He’s starting to act a bit like Yuy…)

 

Heero: <raises an eyebrow>

 

(Duo:*while munching popcorn*  This is getting pretty good—let’s do some more!)

 
 (Be a man)
 You soon will learn the phrase “chivalry”

 

Wufei: <scowling, arms folded> Chivalry is dead.

 

 (Be a man)

Respect to women is what you’ll give

(Be a man)

‘cause if not, you can be sure to remember;

Don’t mess with PMS—plus, we all know where you live!

 

Heero/Trowa/Quatre: <sweatdropping>…

Wufei: <starting to look a little nervous>

Duo: <keeling over with laugher> Justice really *is* served!

Wufei: Duo no baka!

 
 You learned your first mistake, boy—with Meiran, you wife

 

Duo: <eyes wide>  his…WHAT?!?

 

Heed this crucial lesson, commem’rate her life

You get caught up in the rage of war

And forget just why you fight

You just always insist that you’re right

 

Me/Duo: <Wufei a la Mike Rhea> I’M RIGHT, I’M ALWAYS RIGHT!

Wufei: <frantically searching for his katana>


(Be a man)

Don’t go rampaging and screaming “Injustice”

(Be a man)
You’ll learn that not everybody is weak

 

Wufei: <muttering off a list of just exactly who *is* weak> …and Maxwell, and damn Authoresses who write stupid parodies, and Jerry Springer…

 

(Be a man)
If someone stands up to, and slaps, you in outrage

Put away the damn sword, and turn the other cheek

 

Wufei: That’s gotta be the *dumbest* advice I’ve ever heard

Me: <shrugs> Don’t look at me; it’s in the Bible.

Wufei: …I’m BUDDHIST, dammit! 


(Be a man)

There’s this thing that’s called chivalry

(Be a man)

Contrary to belief, it’s *not* dead
(Be a man)
Learn it well, my dear Shenlong G-pilot

Or next time, I swear, it’s going to be your head…

 

**Music Ends**

 

 

Wufei: <opens his mouth to say something, then thinks better and closes it, choosing to remain silent>

 

Duo: <gives it a standing ovation> Encore! Encore! Enc—

 

Others: <quickly cover his mouth> Baka! Don’t give her any ideas!

 

Me: Oh, you don’t have to worry about that; I still have Heero, Trowa, and Qua-chan to do

 

Heero/Trowa/Quatre: -_-()

 

Me: <turns back to computer> I’ve already got Quatre’s song lined up—I just need to come up with the paradox…<starts humming the tune>

 

Quatre: Wait a sec…that’s not what I *think* it is…is it?

 

Me: <still humming>

 

Duo: <on the floor again> IT IS!  IT IS!  AND IT FITS, TOO! <laughing hysterically>

 

Wufei: <muttering something about Justice>

 

Quatre: <sweatdropping> Oh, no…

¹ “Castle” is a really near card game that some of my restarant co-workers taught me one night after-hours.  It’s kinda of like a cross between poker and Uno, and it’s a lot of fun to play; I ended up staying out until two in the morning that night! ^_^

²  There’s a little dispute over whether or not “Nataku” is actually a female war-goddess, or a legendary warrior hero.  I’ve heard both rumors, but for the sake of humor in the fic, let’s just pretend that it’s the former, okay?
