Ok, I give up...

You are all to blame. Yes, all of you who hinted at this, encouraged, brought me out of denial and replied to my last post…

*glares* Don't look so smug!

Even (1/5)
By Misanagi

Pairing: Quatre Winner and Dorothy Catalonia (Rivalry)
Rating: R
Warnings: Humor, some OOC, silliness, pranks and revenge.

Notes: 1) Written for [livejournal.com profile] 5sentence_fics. 2) This is kind of tied to or inspired by a ficlet I wrote a while ago called "After the Beep".

Thanks to Anne for the on the fly beta.

1. Melts in the mouth

"We are even," said Dorothy, looking at the empty tray on the table.

"Even?" Quatre asked, a bit amused at Dorothy's indignant look.

Her lips curved and she looked meaningfully at Quatre's side, at the place that just two years ago she had pierced with a rapier.

"Are you trying to imply, Miss Catalonia, that the fact that I just took the last chocolate truffle compares to you nearly killing me?"

She simply smiled politely and said, "Don't worry, I'll take the lead again soon enough."


2. Breaking bread/fast

Quatre understood why Dorothy had invited him to dinner as he looked from the simple piece of bread in his plate to the stake, vegetables, rice, and chips on everyone else's.

"I must apologize, Quatre, but I was under the impression that you had eaten before, so I didn't have anything prepared for you." The devious smile in Dorothy's face showed that she wasn't sorry at all.

With his stomach growling after a long day of work, Quatre gave Dorothy a glare and said, "This means war."

"Two to one, Mr. Winner… two to one."


3. Pin drop

"The sound of a pin dropping would have been as loud as an explosion," informed Miss Candance Richmond after the commotion. "We were all waiting for something else to happen, but thankfully Miss Catalonia just stood up and walked away. It was most embarrassing."

Dorothy Catalonia has refused to give a statement, but some sources claim that the video of her admitting to having had a sex change operation – that was unexpectedly showed at the ESUN Society Women's annual dinner – is authentic.

Meanwhile, WEI CEO, Quatre Winner, has expressed his deepest respect for Miss Catalonia and whatever lifestyle choices she makes…


4. Measure of a Man

When the first catalogue came, Quatre brushed it off as spam.

When a week later, four different pamphlets advertising the product arrived at his home, and another five at the office, Quatre became annoyed.

When his secretary patted him on the arm and said how brave of him it was to share his experience to help others, Quatre began to get suspicious.

When he received a mail from Dorothy with just the words "three to two", he felt a momentary rush of panic.

And when he finally opened one of the catalogues and noticed his picture next to an article signed with his name, that described his supposedly satisfactory experience with the penis enlarging machine, Quatre quelled his rage, and started plotting.


5. Death and Taxes

Dorothy Catalonia was alive and well, but unfortunately the world disagreed with her.

Her credit cards had been canceled, her phone and electricity disconnected, just like the water and gas; after all, a dead person had little need of those.

Armed with her birth certificate, ID, and her fully alive body, she walked into the notary and demanded to talk to the person in charge. There, they told her she had to go to the city hall, and at the city hall they sent her back to the notary, where she raged and glared until she was finally escorted to a small office upstairs to keep her from scaring the legally alive citizens.

It took her four hours and fifteen thousand credits worth of taxes to demonstrate that she hadn't died after eating the poisoned part of a blowfish, and that the one page obituary written by Quatre Winner that had appeared on today's paper, didn't constitute an irrevocable proof of her unfortunate demise.

*howls with laughter* I loved those! They are perfectly evil and made me laugh so loud I think I woke the family.

*is completely unashamed* You convinced me to do 1 sentence so it only seems fair.

Laughing is good. I'm sorry for your family but I'm glad you were entertained.

And it's not the same thing. I can convince people because I'm the stalker, but it doesn't work the other way around. Nope, not at all.
