Gundam Wing: Raptures of Paradsise
Chapter 13----------Bouquets and Blasters
By Sailor Celaeno
Seven A.M. Noin had awaken in Relena's apartment. She thought it would be a
good idea to sleep over at Relena's and wait to see her future husband later at
the ceremony. She slowly left her bedroom in her yellow pajamas with thin, red
lines that went up and down her clothes. She rubbed her eyes and did a little
stretch. She saw that Peygan was already up having breakfast made. Relena
stepped out of the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth. She had a cotten,
pink nightshirt that covered everything except her feet and ankles. "Good
morning, Relena," said Noin with a little yawn.
"Good mawning," replied Relena as she brushed. They proceeded to the
small, circular dining table that was on the other side of Relena's living
room. The New York Times was spread out on the table. Relena proceeded to read
the headlines of the main section, while Noin perused over the Arts section.
"Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes," called Peygan.
Relena's mouth was filled with toothpaste foam, so Noin spoke on both of their
behalves. "Thank you Peygan."
After another minute of brushing, Relena left her seat to the bathroom, and
proceeded to rinse her mouth and wash her face. Her droopy eyes slowly perked
up a little from the short walk through her penthouse. "We still have
seven hours before the wedding. We still have plenty of time to get
ready."
"True." Noin took a sip of her coffee. "But, it doesn't hurt to
get up early after all, we have a lot to do."
"We have to get our hair done, and into our dresses. Not to mention, I
still have to check that the reception hall is settled and ready," Relena
said as she took her seat again.
"With you on top of things, no doubt everything will be perfect."
Noin took another sip of her coffee.
Six thirty A.M. Heero had awaken and saw that he still had plenty of time to
get ready for the wedding. He had enough time to do more research on Nova. He
learned that Nova was no longer a CEO, but had resigned that position and
accepted a demotion to being the head of the PR department. "What are you
up to?" He kept typing away as he drank coffee.
Several news articles appeared as he read that the press release of this news
was last night. She would become the head of PR starting this Monday. "I
have decided that being a CEO in this company deserves a more qualified person
for the position. Though I have been on top of things, I feel that I lack the
energy to run this vast corporation with Maia Suartha, and the seven other
members of the Board. A person with more experience than I should take my
place. I wish to return to my place as PR Agent for the company," she said
in the press release.
"She is up to something. But what, I can't figure out." Heero kept
typing away. He applied for a position in the Preventers. Even though he had a
knack for finding information on people, he realized that the Preventers would
be a great asset to his observation of Nova Rokureno and Trista Meioh. The
files that the Preventers were as thorough and in depth as any FBI or CIA file.
They may have that information, and as a Preventer agent, he would have some
form of access to it.
"I only hope that I can succeed."
Nine A.M. The alarm clock beeped as Quatre slowly opened his blue eyes. He
stared at the clock. He still couldn't believe that time flew by so quickly. He
didn't get back to the house he owned until two last night. He knew he had to
get up. "I have to get ready for the wedding," he groaned to convince
himself to get up. With slow reluctance, he managed to roll onto his side to stare
at the window with the curtains already drawn back. The sun was bathing the
room with warm, golden rays. He smiled at the beautiful outside as he saw the
azure sky. White clouds ventured their way across the blue field, and two small
birds danced high in the heavens with the clouds. "Nice day for an outdoor
wedding," Quatre murmured to himself.
After another minute of staring at the sky, he managed to sit up in his comfy
bed. He stretched his arms and made a great, big yawn. He rolled his neck and
made a slight crack noise. "Oh geez. I seriously to work out more. I'm SO
stiff." He moaned a little as he stood up and stretched some more. He
shuffled across the room to his bathroom. He stared at his image. His hair was
really tousled and he looked like he had been through a hurricane. He sighed
and turned on the sink. He threw water on his face and rubbed his cheeks.
He took off his clothes and stepped into to the shower. The perfect temperature
water rushed over him as he pour shampoo on his head. He scrubbed his head, and
the rest of his body thoroughly. "Mmmm. This is a nice shower. Just what I
need," he thought happily as he suddenly had the urge to sing. He
remembered the nice seranade Dorothy did for him last night, and Carpenter
songs popped into his head......
He was soon done, and wrapped himself in a fluffy green robe that hung on a
railing. He had a red towel to dry off his hair. He stared out the window again
and sighed as he opened it. Cool air fanned over him and the sunlight still
beamed down on him to start drying his hair. His flaxen locks were soon
naturally in his trademark hair style as he rubbed his hair with his towel.
"I wish I could share this nice morning with everyone I love dearly,"
he sighed as he took a deep breath of the fresh air. "Heero, Duo, Wufei,
Trowa, Dorothy..." His mind wandered as he thought of Dorothy again.
He still he couldn't believe how much she had changed. But so it was. They
still disagreed about the necessity of conflict, but they did agree that in the
end, there would be peace. Even if it was only a brief moment. He had another
urge. Quatre walked over to his phone and decided to make an important call.
The phone rang. Beeeeeeeppp... beeeeeppp... beeeeeppp... The covers slowly
moved off her head, as Dorothy stretched and yawned. She rubbed her eyes as she
slid upwards until she sat in bed. She slowly leaned over to her phone and
pressed it on. "Hello?" she said with her usual voice, only a little
quieter since she was still tired.
"Hi Dorothy," said a sweet, familiar voice.
She smiled. "Hello, Quatre." She leaned against her bed post and
wrapped herself with her blankets again.
"Just wondering how you were," was his response.
"I'm still a little tired, but I'm good. And you?"
"I'm good. Just wanted to ask you if you looked outside yet." Quatre
had a cordless phone and walked back towards the window from his bedside table.
"No. I just got up."
"You did?" There a slight pause. "I'm sorry, I woke you
up."
"Hmm. Hearing you talk to me again is worth waking up." Dorothy could
picture him blushing a little, which he was. She stared out of the balcony
window in her penthouse apartment. She lived only a few blocks from Relena and
had managed to find a nice place of her own. "My, it is nice
outside." A cool breeze entered her room, and her blue wind chimes
twinkled it's little melody. She smiled as she remembered Quatre bought her the
wind chimes after the brunch with Nova.
"I know. Just wanted to see if you looked. It's a perfect day for a
wedding." Quatre had began dressing in his usual casual clothes.
"I have to agree. I think it was somehow meant to be this nice."
"As did I. Last night was fun, wasn't it?"
Dorothy laughed a little. "Yes. I thought it was funny when Milliardo and
Duo were trying to out do each other. Of course, I enjoyed your singing,
Quatre. Thank you again."
Quatre was still a little annoyed at Duo and Zechs flaunting themselves on
stage. But at least, he and the other guys got a little revenge when they wooed
back their dates. Although he was a little disturbed when Trowa and Heero went
up to the mike. He couldn't quite understand why they were a little cruel in
their choice of performance. "I'm worried about Trowa and Heero."
"I know. I tried to talk to Miss Relena last night." Dorothy and
Quatre did notice that Trowa seemed to be glaring at Midii during the song.
Heero focused straight at Relena's direction as he kept singing for 'American
Woman' to go away.
"Did the talk work?" he asked.
"Not much. She tried to convince me that she wasn't at all bothered or
aware anything was wrong. I know her well enough to know that it's bothering.
She can't possibly be fine by it. Heero Yuy is on her mind too much and for too
long for her to simply be oblivious to that."
"She's never been afraid of him before..." Quatre said as he left his
room and down the stairs.
"It's not fear. He never noticed her before, but it seems he was making
the separation line clear to her. It's obvious that he wants nothing more to do
with her. She sees it now, and it's hurting her. Before, he accepted her and
was ready to stand by her. But now... now he wants his distance," Dorothy
said as she walked into her bathroom.
Quatre walked down the hallway towards the dining room. "I see what you
mean." He saw that breakfast was being set on the table. He took his seat.
"There's nothing much either one of can do about it. It's the same thing
with Trowa."
"Yes. What happened with him and Miss Midii?"
"Trowa had no comment. Cathy told me what little she knew. She told me she
met Midii three years ago. They were friends for a while, but she disappeared.
Then Cathy met Midii again. It looks like Midii is upsetting Trowa
somehow."
"Do you think you'll be able to figure out what's wrong?"
"I don't know, but I'll try very hard."
Trowa and Cathy woke up early like everyone else. "Trowa?"
"Yes, Catherine?"
"What is it between you and Midii?"
Trowa was silent at the mention of HER name. His eyes narrowed as he thought of
that ten-year-old girl that had betrayed him those six years ago. 'How could
she still be alive?' he asked himself before. "Nothing," he lied.
Catherine stared with suspicion at her young brother. "Don't pretend that
nothing is wrong. You always do that, and I know it's not true. There is
something that happened between the two of you and I won't stop until you tell
me the truth. You know me well enough to know that I will do whatever I can to
find out what is going on."
Trowa looked up at that determined girl. She'd do anything for him. Even if it
meant walking through the billowing flames of Hell. She wasn't the sort to give
up on anyone she loved, and Trowa meant a great deal to her. "Midii killed
me." That was all he said as he left the small apartment that he lived in.
She could only stare at the closed apartment door. "Oh Trowa." She
sat on the sofa, still staring at the door. 'What kind of darkness still clouds
you? What sort of sorrow covers over you so thickly?' She turned her to the
apartment window that overlooked the street. There were a few cars parked on
both sides, and other cars drove down the small one way street. The sun was
shining brightly over the humming community as people emerged from their abodes
to embrace the new, Saturday morning. Children already flocked to the local
playground and played their games.
The children walked down the street and turned towards the swings and
basketball hoops to play a few games. Trowa walked among the throng and only
walked. Not going to any particular place. He watched silently watched the kids
merrily running to meet their friends. He saw a boy and a girl walking by him.
"Here Tommy. I got a gift for you," smiled the girl. She handed him a
key chain with a globe shaped charm.
"Thanks, Melissa." The boy put his house key on the chain and
carefully slipped it into his pocket. They ran off together into the park.
Trowa watched. A boy and girl, together. He could only think of the past. The
things that happened nearly seven years ago.
It was just him and her. Two children alone in desolation. Betrayal was a sour
dish that was difficult to swallow. Trowa lost his comrades. He showed no
sorrow for their loss, but deep within himself, he missed them terribly. They
showed him how to fight. He had always been a fighter, born the little soldier,
all alone in the world. He fought to survive. But now it was more than the
human desire and instinct to survive. He had to fight to move beyond the hazy,
long ago past. "Midii. I won't let you destroy anyone. You are a spy, deep
down, a spy. The betrayer and I will have to live with knowing what you've done
to me." Trowa stared at the children at play.
"Hello Trowa," said that voice.
"Midii," he said with his general politeness. He was suspicious of
her presence in his life. "I didn't expect you to be here."
Midii smiled slyly. "Of course not Trowa. I'm not a conventional woman."
"You never were." Trowa never looked at her. He stayed facing the
children, with his back towards her.
"I see that you are as stoic and cold as you were. Still the soldier,
killing and destroying the enemy."
"I see that you are still the spy. Doing whatever she can to survive, even
if it means destroying thousands of lives. Are you and your family well?"
Midii was silent. "They're gone."
"Gone?" he remained his calm, unassuming self, but had a tinge of
confusion.
"Father died two years ago. Alexi and Rudolph died in a fire when I was
away. The only one left is Devon. Devon is my only reason to love anything
anymore. But he's dying."
"Why is that?"
"He's ill. Only have three more months, the doctors say. He has been sick
since he was a baby. It's a miracle he lived as long as he had."
"How's he being taken cared of?" Trowa was suspicious that she was
being a spy and he was a target.
"I have a small part-time job. Just enough to get him a place at a
hospice." She walked closer to Trowa, until she was next to him. "You
know, I'm not as bad as you think."
"I want you to stay away from Catherine."
"What?" she asked incredulously.
"You know what I mean." He paused before he spoke again. "You
are spy. Working for someone. You're doing what you can to stick by Cathy and
me. Whatever it is, you had better stay away from us. I didn't kill you seven
years ago, but don't think that you can tempt Fate again."
Midii stared at him thoughtfully. "Did you ever tell her what happened
between us?"
"I won't. After all, the less she knows, the better. I don't want her to
get mixed up in some crazy business you're up to. Last time I was with you,
Alliance military destroyed hundreds of rebels."
"You killed some of them yourself." Midii was silent. She breathed
deeply and spoke again. "Don't think that I've ever looked back on those
days and saw how I've destroyed people."
"You've changed."
"And so have you Trowa." She walked around him in an interrogating
manner. "You pretend to be so calm faced and unemotional. But Catherine
has changed you. You have a heart that feels things. You wouldn't be so
protective of her if you didn't have feelings. You fear me for some reason. Why
is that?" She had made three turns around and finally stood in his face.
"You seem to know the answers. You can answer them yourself."
"You fear me because you know I've turned into you."
"Have you indeed?" Trowa simply looked at her.
"Yes, Trowa. I don't have the emotions to tie me down. I no longer feel
remorse for anything I must do. I have nothing left to hold me back. I will do
what I must to survive."
"I believe you would," he said.
"Good bye Nanashi." She walked away. Leaving Trowa a chill in his
spine. It was already disturbing that Midii would destroy lives and feel
guilty, but now she would destroy lives without a conscious thought for their
well-being. He did have something fear. He feared a destroyer that would care
less for anything.
Relena and Noin were changing into their dresses. Dorothy, Hilde, and Catherine
arrived at the penthouse to visit the bride before the wedding. The four young
women sat in Relena's living room. "I still can't believe the day is
here," said Hilde.
"I know. I never imagined this day would come. And it's so wonderful
outside. I don't think anything bad could ever happen," said Relena. She
work a turquoise dress with spaghetti straps on her shoulders. She had a rose
corsage in her hair and she had matching jewelry.
"How are you today, Relena?" asked Dorothy.
"I'm well, Dorothy. I'm rather excited with the wedding and all."
"I hope so. I'm eager to see Milliardo in his tuxedo. Didn't you say that
he chose a white tux?"
Relena nodded the affirmative. "Of course. Don't be surprised when you see
Lucrezia."
"Why?" asked Catherine.
"Well. Since she's marrying Milliardo, who is still Prince of the Sanc
kingdom, she must be decked in jewelry and things." Relena and Milliardo
still had their titles as Princess and Prince of the Sanc kingdom. Their
descendants would continue carrying titles, however, they were allowed to
pursue their lives the manner they wished.
"Wow! Princess Lucrezia. That has a nice ring to it," sighed Hilde as
she wished she was a princess in real life.
"I guess it does," said Lucrezia as she emerged from Relena's spare
bedroom. She was decked in an elegant, but simple dress. She wore a few diamond
studded pieces of jewelry set in white gold. She wore heels that click-clacked
on the floor. She had a simple veil over her face.
"Wow, Lucrezia. You look lovely. Picture perfect," said Sally. Since
they were not on duty, they were free to address each other by first name.
"Thanks Sally."
"I guess we're ready to go."
The gundam pilots were cajoled into becoming ushers at the outdoor wedding in
the botanical gardens. There were a few Peacecraft family friends, and members
of the Preventers, who came to celebrate the union of their superiors. The
ushers took their seats as the music began to play. They saw a little boy and
girl, children of Countess Melinda de Bavroche, walk down the aisle. The
countess was a distant relative of the Peacecrafts and the closest living
family left for Relena and Milliardo.
Heero was a little stunned to see Relena walk down the aisle with a garland of
daisies in her hair, and wearing a light blue dress. She wore matching shoes,
and smiled as she took her place as maid of honor. The music changed as
Lucrezia appeared. Beneath the veil, she was smiling joyfully as she saw her
future husband waiting for her at the end. Step and step, she walked ever
closer. The music sounded.
Noin was glowing with happiness as she saw Zechs waiting for her at the end of
the aisle. "I'm going to Mrs. Milliardo Peacecraft in twenty
minutes," Noin thought happily.
Suddenly, gunfire could be heard outside of the gardens. Immediately the
Preventer agents spread out to deal with the noise. As they raced outside of
the garden, they saw strange looking monsters appear. "What are those
things?" asked a young man.
"I don't know, but they are not here for the cake. Fire!!" commanded
an officer. They showered the monsters with barrages of gunfire.
Everyone within the garden were in a panic. They were surrounded by monsters
that began a great battle. Lucrezia ran to Milliardo and Relena. The pilots and
their dates also gathered. "What's going on?" asked little Mariemaya.
"I don't know," said Lady Une, as she held onto the little girl.
"Don't mind if we drop in." The monsters and Preventers moved the
fight away from the wedding, leaving the political heads, and the wedding party
alone. Five masked women in bodysuit uniforms appeared.
"Who are you?" growled Milliardo, irritated at these strange women.
"We are the Raptures of Paradise. And you, Mister Peacecraft, are no
longer needed. None of you are needed anymore. Ladies?" said Avatar.
"I don't think so!" called a girl's voice.
"Who dares to interrupt me?"
A girl in a pink fuku appeared. "I'm the champion of love and justice. I
am Sailor Chibi Moon. And I will punish you!" She did her usual sailor
pose.
"Ha! You think you can defeat us?" laughed the leader. She wore a
navy leather catsuit with a matching navy mask.
A woman with a red catsuit held a strange jet pack on her back with a rifle
with a tube that attached it to the jet pack. "Feel the wrath of the
goddess of Fire!!!!" Flames shot from the gun straight towards, Sailor
Chibi Moon.
"Shine... Aqua...Illusion!" A voice shouted, and freezing water put
out the flames. A thirty-something year old woman in a sky blue fuku appeared.
Other women wearing different uniforms appeared.
The Gundam pilots stared suspiciously at these strange women. "Who are
they?" asked Relena with concern. The pilots couldn't help noticing that
these Sailor women seemed familiar.
"Heero?" asked Quatre.
"Hn?"
"Do you think these are the girls we met last year? Those girls that
Sailor Celaeno and Sailor Pluto were talking about?"
"It's possible. They have the same uniform. Just different colors."
"Damn it! We have to get out of here," shouted the Flamethrower.
"Right," said Avatar. They all vanished. THe Preventers were running
back into the wedding. One officer ran towards the pilots.
"We can't hold them back," apologized the officer.
"We'll take care of them," said a Sailor woman with a green fuku.
The monsters burst back into the garden. "Mercury... Icicle...
Shower!" Shards of icicles flew through the air, and six were impaled to
death by the knives of ice.
"Mars... Fire... Spin!" Sailor Mars touched her lips with her hand.
Instead of blowing a kiss, she blew a barrage of fireballs at the monsters.
Five were incinerated to ashes.
Heero and the others could only watch in amazement and worry at the power these
women had. They weren't sure how to greet these women when the fighting ended.
Quatre and the women were grateful. The other pilots were more reserved about
these Sailor women. Why was it that they so conveniently appeared after the
Raptures of Paradise appeared.
"Venus...Spark... eruption!" Little gold hearts appeared and as they
flew away from Sailor Venus's hand, they exploded. The monsters were dazed and
confused when they heard, "Jupiter... lightning...Strike!" A massive
charge of lightning appeared from Sailor Jupiter's hands.
The three other scouts were surrounding Sailor Chibi Moon protectively. The
Negaverse monsters were destroyed. The pilots held their guns at the Sailor
Scouts. The three scouts surrounded Sailor Chibi Moon even more closely.
"Gee.. you're welcome," said Sailor Jupiter with sarcasm.
"Who the hell are you?" asked Duo.
"The ones who saved your sorry asses," snarled Sailor Uranus.
Both sides were ready for a fight until Sailor Chibi Moon screamed, "STOP
IT!!!!!" at several decibels above normal hearing. They all cringed at the
voice. "Will you stop it? We're all good guys here. Don't forget the
mission!"
Sailor Uranus looked down at Chibi Moon and gave her, her trademark grin.
"Alright your highness."
"Your highness?" murmured Relena out of curiosity.
"We have no time for this. We must get going if we're going to track the
Negaverse," continued Chibi Moon to the other Sailors. They all turned
their backs towards the pilots and began to walk away.
"Where are you going?" asked Relena.
Chibi Moon turned around and smiled. "We have a mission." She walked
closer and took Relena's hands in her own. "You must stay away, Princess.
You could get hurt."
"What about you?"
"I was given a special destiny that I must fulfill." Chibi Moon
turned to the others. "As for the rest of you," she spoke with a
stern voice. "You must stay away from the Raptures. They are scout
business. Don't even try touching them. They would destroy you all."
"Who are you to tell us what to do, little woman?" said Wufei. He was
irritated that a younger girl would talk to him like she was his equal.
"I will NOT warn you again. You will die." Chibi Moon did a
somersault and disappeared.
Even Quatre was getting a little worried by now. "They mean business. What
are we going to do?" Quatre broke the eerie silence.
"We'll have to deal with this some other time," replied Lady Une.
"She's right," rpelied Noin. "We have a wedding to attend
to."
"Damn! Those Sailor bitches had to get involved!" screamed
Flamethrower. She paced the room angrily in her red uniform, without her mask.
"They certainly spoiled our fun," pouted Cat.
"What can we do? They took us by surprise," said Quint, who was
wearing a forest green outfit.
Only Agent Une and Avatar were quiet. They reflected on the words of the
others. "I have no doubt that they will certainly be a challenge. I have
no doubts about the future of the plan," was all Avatar said.
"What? Did you see what they did to those daimons we had as backup? All
eliminated!" Flamethrower continued with her tirade.
"That will be no obstacle."
"What?" cried Flamethrower, Quint, and Cat.
Agent Une nodded knowingly. "Of course ladies. We still have two things
going for us."
"What's that?" asked Cat.
"The pilots don't trust the scouts, and the scouts are determined to take
care of us without them interfering. Even if they manage to get together, we'll
be able to find their weaknesses by then. Enough to take care of them,"
smiled Avatar.
"What's the other thing?" asked Quint.
"Agent Une." They turned to look at their teammate who soon left the
room.
"Alright, ladies!" shouted Noin. "Time to catch the
bouquet!" All the single women gathered in a massive group. All their
dates grinned and sweat nervously. The single women were buzzing with eager
grins and giggles.
Wufei groaned with annoyance. "What is with these stupid games? They're
just as bad as some of those Chinese ones I've heard about."
"Chinese people have wedding games?" asked Quatre.
"Yes, and they are humiliating," replied Wufei. No one noticed the
devious grin that crept Duo's face.
"Okay ready?" asked Noin. Her back was turned.
"Yes!!!!!!" replied thirty women.
"One... two... three..." Noin chucked the bouquet into the crowd.
They all ran to catch the bouquet. It was a struggle for two minutes before
someone shouted.
"I got it!!!!" cried a young woman.
"Oh no!" cried her date. His friends had sly grins on their faces.
"Your turns." Their dates reappeared at the table.
"Don't you dare make me go up there!" demanded Wufei.
"Come on!" pulled Sally.
"Injustice!" All of the single men were there. The five pilots tried
to shrink into the back of the crowd of the twenty-five men. They were able to
see Noin sitting in a chair. Milliardo was on his knees in front of her.
The emcee of the reception appeared with a microphone. "Now, we all know
that the groom has to get the garter off his lovely wife." There were a
few whistles, and whoo-hoo's from the rowdy single guys. "But...
But!" he said to calm them down. "but, we decided to spice things up
a little." There were a few yeah's in response. "Milliardo will NOT
be taking it off with his hands." A few devilish grins appeared on the
faces of the men in the room.
"What?" Milliardo replied horrified.
"That's right. You will take off the garter belt with... your...
teeth!" Everyone laughed in excitement. "Play the music!" They
began to play "Fever".
Milliardo looked a little red as he stared in Noin's face. She smiled a little
as she lifted up her skirt. Within less than a minute, he was under her skirt,
tugging at the garter belt with his teeth. There were cheers urging him on. His
cheek touched the nylon covered legs of his new wife. 'She feels so good,' he
couldn't help but think to himself as he pulled at the garter.
Noin could feel the warmth of his breath. She felt goosebumps of excitement.
She could feel the garter closer to her knee. 'This feels a little familiar,'
she alluded to the first time they made love. The sweet feeling of unending
pleasure and rapture. Like a heavenly paradise, it wasn't just being a bedroom
naked with him that was the paradise, but just being anywhere with him.
"YEAH!!!!" the crowd cheered. She snapped back into reality as she
looked to see Milliardo with the garter still between his teeth. He caught it,
and held out a hand. She took it and he pulled her up.
"Milliardo Peacecraft!" The crowd cheered for his success. "Okay
gentlemen. THe lucky guy who catches the garter gets to put it on this lovely
young lady!" The emcee presented the lucky girl who caught the bouquet.
"Wow, she's a babe. I wanna get it!" said one guy.
"Yeah, she's something."
Her date glared at those two. Wufei noticed his bubbling anger. "I wonder
who's going to catch it." He glared at Wufei and faced the front.
Milliardo had his back turned.
"One..." he was ready to toss. "...two... three!" He threw
the garter as hard as he could. The men scrambled to get it, but the garter
planted itself in the hands of one of the pilots.
"Well, lucky you," smiled Wufei. The lucky pilot walked up front.
"Are you ready?" asked the emcee.
"Why not? She's my girlfriend," he replied.
"I see..." replied the emcee. "I'm sure you'd kill someone else
if they caught it."
He smiled wickedly at the crowd of unlucky guys. "Maybe."
"Well, since Milliardo had to go through the same thing. You are going to
put the garter on her with your teeth!" the crowd goes crazy. He smiles
deviously at her.
"I know you, Duo Maxwell. I'm getting worried at what you're going to
do," said Hilde.
"Well, since we're the center of attention, let's give 'em a real
show."
"How I do end up these messes?" sighed Hilde.
"You wanted the bouquet. I wanted to make sure no one makes a move on my
favorite girl in the universe," Duo replied.
The music to "Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing" began to play.
"Alright, to spice things up more, we are going to blindfold you!"
Duo was promptly blindfolded with a napkin. He twirled the garter on his
finger. Then he lightly sniffed it and made a purring noise in Hilde's
direction. She began blushing.
"Quatre would have a heart attack," snickered Catherine at her
brother's best friend. Quatre blushed profusely. Dorothy only smiled in his
direction.
Duo was allowed to put the garter on her ankle with his hands, but he had to go
the rest of the way with his teeth. "Higher! Higher! Higher!" the
guys chanted.
'If that's what the people want, who am I to deny them that?' he thought
devilishly. He grunted a little as he tried to pull the garter up Hilde's leg.
