Teena: Oi, minna! This is my second foray into the wonderful world of MSTing! Have fun! Duo: *rolls his eyes* Not likely. Teena: Beeeedddaaaa! Jerk! The MSTadventures of Teena & Co. Episode 2-Poker Night Teena sat up straight in front of her laptop, then jumped up and ran upstairs. "Oi, minna-san, up and at 'em, we got fiction sign!" Doors opened slowly and with upset sounds from the rooms. Teena scowled at the three doors. "It's not my fault I didn't have anybody to keep me up late last night. Get up before I come in and GET you up. Not in the nice way, either." "We're awake, we're awake," Duo groaned, staggering out of the room he and Heero shared. Quatre and Trowa wandered out of their room, yawning, as did Treize and Zechs. Heero walked out behind Duo, looking none the worse for wear. "Duo, you're a mess," Teena said with a sigh. She ran down to her room, retreived a brush and came back. "Turn around, baka." Duo turned around, and Teena quickly brushed and re-braided his hair. As soon as she was finished, she grabbed him by the wrist and dragged him downstairs. The other five followed at various speeds. "Come on, get your snacks, let's get this over with." The seven MSTers picked out their snacks and drinks, and Teena again slipped something into Heero's drink when he wasn't looking. They all headed into the theater and sat down. >Poker Night by Blind Zen Archer Duo: Cool, I could use some extra cash. Treize: What makes you think you would win? >Quatre, Duo, and Trowa looked over their Gundams, as they rested in one >of the underground hangars they had built near their latest safehouse. Quatre: I don't know ANY construction companies that work that fast. Heero: *smirks* I do. Duo: Oh, please, you just tell the workers you'll kill them if they don't finish in time. I don't think that counts. >"So, Heero's already here?" Duo: *laughs* What, this guy thinks I don't know where Heero is at all times? Heero: *mutters something about tracers and invasion of privacy* >"Yes, Duo. He's been wondering when you'd arrive." Heero: What, this guy thinks I don't know where Duo is at all times? Duo: *mutters somethng about tracers and invasion of privacy* >"Well, it's not my fault he's faster cross country." Teena: VERY cross. Heero: *glares at Teena* Teena: See what I mean? >"I'm sure you can talk it out with him tonight...among other things..." Duo: Since when do we talk things out at night? Heero: I know you talk, but it's usually incoherent. >Duo actually blushed as they walked out of the hangar, closing the massive >doors behind them. Duo: Me, blush? All: *at the same time as Duo* Duo, blush? >Finally, Sandrock gave a large sigh of electronic relief. Quatre: *claps* Sandrock! Duo: Oh, cripes, one of THESE. >"I thought they'd never leave." Quatre: *gets all teary* Sandrock wanted me to leave? Trowa: I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it. >Deathscythe slowly streched, Duo: Woohoo! Hey, buddy, how's tricks? Heero: *stuffs Duo's braid in his mouth* Uresai, baka. Characters in fics can't hear you. Duo: Blergh! *spits his braid out* Hidoi~i! >and then began arranging the scaffolding into a rough "table" and "chairs", >all Gundam sized. Zechs: Table and chairs... The title was 'Poker Night'. Treize: Gundams playing poker? What do they use for money? Teena: Spare parts? >"Well, SR, you have to admit that they care about us a lot. Especially >in Heero's case. As far as I can tell, the only time he ever relaxes is >when he's working on Wing, or when he's with Duo. Right, Wing?" Duo: *v-sign* Wow, an intelligent comment. Of course, Heero relaxes a lot more with me than with Wing. Right, Heero? Heero: *silence* Duo: *edge to his voice* RIGHT, Heero? Heero: ..... >Wing actually seemed to grimace slightly, Trowa: How? The Gundams don't even have mouths. Quatre: Cheekbone positioning? Teena: *grins* Which cheeks? All(except Teena): Teena! Eeewww! >"Well, I think he's actually a lot more relaxed then you think whenever >he's inside me..." All(except Heero): Heero! Heero: *avoids looking at them* Duo: *whacks Heero upside the head* 'Tuning some of Wing's systems', huh? What, your hand is better than me? >Each Gundam looked at each other, and to their surprise it was HeavyArms >who chuckled first. Trowa: Wonderful. My Gundam has a twisted sense of humor. >Wing blushed. All: HOW? Zechs: Gundams don't have BLOOD, it shouldn't be POSSIBLE for them to blush! >"Hey, c'mon. Get the doors open for our fifth." >"Who is the fifth tonight, Wing? Nate's not around, is she?" Quatre: *laughs* Nate? Duo: *also laughs* Wu'd blow a gasket if he were here. >"No, Nate said she couldn't get away tonight." >"Wufei's probably sleeping inside her again." Teena: I wonder if sleeping is the only thing he's doing? Quatre: *face scrunches up* Teena! Teena: Oh, come on! You can't tell me you guys haven't wondered! >"That, or lighting incense sticks at her feet and praying to her." Treize: *sighs* Sometimes I worry about Wufei... >"It does go to a girl's head..." Quatre: Now there's an interesting statement... Trowa: *quietly* REALLY, little one... Teena: *glares at Quatre* That's just nasty. >"And you still haven't told us who the fifth is...it better not be another >damn Leo. Heero: They've been playing with enemy suits? Duo: Hey, some things transcend lines of battle, and poker is one of them. >They've got NO sense of humor, and it better not be a Maguanac, 'cuz >they can't bluff worth a damn." Duo: Oi, Quatre, you ever- Quatre: No, I haven't. I don't play poker very much. Besides, the Maguanac pilots are loyal to me, it'd be a shame to take their money. Teena: *chuckles* Yare, yare, Quatre... Who knew? >"Relax, Scythe. It's not a Leo...exactly." Heero: It's either a Leo or it isn't. It can't be 'not exactly' a Leo. >"You didn't..." >"She did." The new voice was deeper, and older than the other Gundams. Heero: *blinks* Wing's a girl. *looks at Teena* I thought you were the only one who did that. Teena: *grins* Shameless Teena's fic plug number 1. Strange minds think alike, Heero. You really thought no one else would have that idea? >"Tallgeese..." Heavyarms and Sandrock seemed bemused, but otherwise fine. >Deathscythe, on the other hand, looked annoyed. Treize: How can you tell? Duo: I can tell. All(except Duo): *LOOK at Duo* Duo: Nani?! >"Well, I guess I better just get ready to start losing..." Duo: Gyaaah! I don't believe Deathscythe is talking like that! Shinigami never loses! Heero: *stuffs Duo's braid in his mouth* Uresai, baka. Duo: Blech! *spits his braid out* >"Just because I beat the pants off of you a couple months ago doesn't >mean I'll win tonight." All: WHAT PANTS?! >"Yeah...sure..." >"I brought the cards..." Zechs: I wonder where they got cards that big. Teena: I'M wondering where they get condoms that big. Duo: You're assuming they go in for safe sex. All(except Teena and Duo): Eewww! Teena! Duo! Teena/Duo: Nani? >"All right...let's play then." Teena: *opens her mouth* Heero/Quatre: *clap a hand over her mouth before she can talk* Teena: Mmmaaayyy! >The 4 gundams and Tallgeese seated themselves at the table, as Tallgeese >removed a gigantic deck of playing cards from where it normally stored >beam sabres. Zechs: Tallgeese only has one beam saber. Teena: Always carry a spare. Duo: That's from something, isn't it? Teena: Yeah, but I can't remember what. >"Got to remember to put the sabers back in, or Zechs would have a little >surprise tomorrow..." Zechs: LITTLE surprise?! >"Yeah, I can imagine...of course, I doubt Heero would complain. Right, >Wing?" Heero: Actually, I would. I want to beat Zechs in a fair fight. >"I think...I think they're more alike then you realize." Heero/Zechs: Thanks SO much. >"She's right....Zechs and Heero are very intense believers in peace. The >same thing is driving them." Trowa: A V6 double-piston engine. >"I didn't expect you to say that, HeavyArms." >"I've been around them in much closer quarters than anyone except Wing >and Tallgeese." All(except Teena and Duo): *stare at Teena and Duo* Teena/Duo: *whistle innocently* >"He's got a point, Scythe." Duo: Yeah, on the tip of his army knife. All(except Duo): Lame joke. >"Okay, SR. You know, you guys are almost as bad as your pilots about >sticking up for each other." Teena/Duo: *snicker* Quatre/Trowa: *blush* >"Oh, and you don't stick up for Wing and Duo all the time?" Heero: *shoves Duo's braid in his mouth* Quatre: *shoves Teena's braid in her mouth* Teena/Duo: Blech! *spit their braids out* >"Point taken." Zechs: Point, set, match. Treize: Isn't it 'point, match, set'? Zechs: I don't know. I don't play tennis. >"Ahem." The sound of any mobile suit clearing it's throat is impressive, >and Tallgeese even more so. All: WHAT THROAT?! >"The game is five card Draw. One eyed jacks and deuces wild." All(except Duo): *look at Duo* VERY wild. Teena: *looks at Trowa* Although... Quatre: *smiles* He's wild. Trust me on this. >After a few hours, both Tallgeese and DeathScythe had sizeable piles of >chips, with the others beginning to dwindle. Duo: *grins* See? Told ya Shinigami never loses. >"So...ask you a serious question, Tallgeese?" >"Sure. Raise." Teena: *opens her mouth* Heero: *shoves her braid in her mouth* Don't say it. Teena: Blech. *spits her braid out* >"How long before Zechs tells Romafeller to shove it? See it and raise." Teena: Shove what where? Zechs: *glares at Teena* That's disgusting. >"Not sure. A few weeks, I think..." >"Not sure? What do you think Wing? If they're so alike, what would Heero >do?" Duo: Hey, like those keychains! What Would Heero Do! WWHD! Sugoi! Teena: Hmmmm. I know how to embroider. Quatre: So do I. All(except Quatre): Natch. >"See it or fold." Teena: I wouldn't wanna see that. Most of Romafeller's leaders are ugly as sin. Zechs: *face scrunches up* >"I mean Mask-boy, not Tallgeese." Zechs: Mask-boy?! >"So do I. See it through or fold." Treize: Hmmm. Just how well do you fold, Milliardo? Zechs: Remember the Leo? Treize: Ah, yes... >"Then I'll see it and raise." All(except Teena and Duo): *glare at Teena and Duo* Teena/Duo: Nani?! >"Call. Heero: 1-800-MS-HENTAI, for tips on making it in a Leo's cockpit. Teena/Duo: *start laughing* Treize/Zechs: *blush* Quatre: Heero! >And?" >"He said he'd stay until the mask broke. It's starting to get really >cracked. Trowa: So is he, so it all works out. Zechs: Do you MIND? Trowa: *raises an eyebrow* I don't mind at all. >He's even pulling some unnecessary Gs just to put more stress on it." Duo: Cripes, you've done it with Doc G? That's just messed up, Zechs. All: *squick* >"Damn. I knew that guy was nuts. Treize: He also HAS nuts. Zechs: *blushes* Teena/Duo: *wolf whistle* >He's going to hurt both of you if it shatters in the cockpit. Teena: *innocently* Zechs could lose some necessary equipment like that... All the guys: *wince* Teena! >Especially if he's pulling too many Gs. Aces over Kings..." Teena: *eyes Trowa and Quatre* But, oddly enough, Prince is over Joker. Trowa/Quatre: *blush* >"He'll be okay. He heals quickly. Heero: Alternatively, it could be said he recovers quickly. How about it, Treize? Does he? Treize: *lifts an eyebrow* You have NO idea... >As long as he doesn't lose an eye, Teena: Or a head... All the guys: TEENA! Teena: *evil grin* >or something like that, he'll be fighting again in no-time. Pair of >Queens..." Trowa: Duo and Quatre. Zechs: Really? Trowa: *nods* Quatre: Trowa! You said you wouldn't tell! >"Not bad." Treize: Not good, either, but you take what you can get. Teena: How would you know? You've got Zechs to take. >"Thanks. Well, I had better get going..." Duo: Tallgeese is coming, Zechs. Zechs: *gags* >"Safe flight home." >Tallgeese quietly slipped Trowa: But made a loud bang when he hit the floor. >out the hangar doors, boosting into the atmosphere, while the 4 gundams >worked to disassemble their furniture. Teena: ...Even I can't think of anything hentai to say there. >"Not bad guy, really. It's a shame we have to fight him." Heero: That's how I feel about Zechs most of the time. Teena: Well, you aren't fighting him now. Why don't you two spend tonight getting to know each other? Duo: *reaches around Heero to smack Teena* Not a chance! Teena: Itai! >"Yeah." >"So, who's on for next week?" Teena: (as Wing) Me and Scythe. We'll be in the back, so stay up near the doors. All(except Teena): Eeewww! Teena! >"Nate will be back by then." Duo: 'Course, Wu's liable to be busy with her again. All(except Duo and Teena): Gyah! Duo! Teena: *snickers* >"Yeah, but aren't you going out on a Mission, Arms?" Teena: (as HA) No, but I might be busy with SR. All: *sigh and give up* >"I'll check..." Quatre: And mate. Trowa: Quatre! Quatre: *blushes* I'm sorry, it must be contagious! >"I suppose we could get a Taurus." Heero: Only they're so bullheaded. >"A regular or an MD? Because MDs play worse than Maguanacs...if that's >possible..." Treize: I didn't know there were MS doctors... >"I'll see. Maybe an Aires?" All: Typo! >"Maybe. The Flyboys are cocky, but they could be worse..." Teena: Nah. That one's too easy, even for me. Zechs: I never thought I'd hear you say that. I thought you liked it easy. Teena: *grins at him* Wanna find out? >The End All: Finally! >Blind Zen Archer Treize: Blind. That explains the typos. Teena: And the Zen part explains why it makes no sense. Quatre: Let's just go. All: *get up and leave* Teena wandered over to the stairs, closely followed by the others. "Well, that was tiring. Anybody else wanna go back to bed?" There was a chorus of agreement and the seven MSTers went up to the the second floor. Teena sighed wistfully as the other six paired off and headed for their rooms, then started towards her own solitary bedroom. Duo looked at her thoughtfully, then whispered something in Heero's ear. The Japanese boy considered for a moment, then nodded. As Teena passed Heero and Duo's room, the two came up on either side of her, grabbed her arms, and pulled her into their room. "Yipe! What are you guys doing? I-mmmmmmmMmmm! Oh. Well, in that case..." The other two couples smiled amusedly as they walked into their own rooms and shut the doors behind them. Obviously, Teena wasn't going to be complaining about getting up late, tomorrow. ~owari~ Teena: *smiles sweetly* Author's Privilege exists to be abused. This series just became 1x2xTeena. Don't fuss at me about it. Duo: *shrugs* I'm not complainin'. Teena: *grins* I would imagine. Anyway, C&C is craved, pocky would be nice, too. Heero: She has a sweet tooth.
