Silly Ficlet.

[misanagi]

This is a little ficlet I wrote a while ago for Hex and Anne's LJ party. Now is nice and ready to share, and it's good to show you that I'm not really evil. *nodnod* About the evil snippet I shared, that's a fic I'm working on. Sorry about the cliffy. I thought about sharing the rest of the scene but Anne said that the cliffy there was more evil. I'll try to write fast so you can read the finished fic soon. In the meantime, here's a silly ficlet.

Rating: PG
Pairings: 3x4, 1xR.

"Quatre Winner's private line. Please leave a message and I'll call you back as soon as possible. Thanks, and have a good day."

"Mr. Winner. This is your assistant, Marie. It's my duty to inform you that there were some comments made about you on page fourteen of Allure magazine. Please refrain from contacting the press. Your PR department is already taking care of the situation. Just let me know if you want to take legal action against Miss. Catalonia."

"Quatre Raberba Winner! You were engaged to Dorothy Catalonia and never told your older sister about it? I had to read in a magazine that my little brother left a girl at the altar to run away with another man. Tsk tsk. Does Trowa know about your little escapades? Call me. Iria."

"Quatre, dear. I hope you are fine. I think the last time we talked was when you out bid that Degas I wanted to purchase. I trust you've read Allure by now. The score is fourteen to thirteen. Still on your favor, but I'm getting closer, aren't I? Have a lovely day. Dorothy."

"Master, Quatre. I'm sorry to bother you but I'm worried. You know that I'm only looking out for you, but I must admit that I'm concerned about you having a relationship with a woman who tried to kill you. What happened to that other Gundam pilot you were interested in? Please return this call as soon as possible, or I'll assume the worse and send a few men over. Rashid."

"Cat, I never knew I was part of a love triangle. Just don't do anything crazy. I love you, see you tonight."

"I don't kill anymore, but I can still hack into her bank account. Let me know. Heero."

"Man, I need to get a hold of that answering machine and change your message to something different. You can be so boring when you want to. Call me, I have a plan to get back at her. Duo."

"Cat, has Duo called you yet? He's having one of those crazy ideas. Please tell me you don't agree."

"Winner, this thing with you and Catalonia is getting out of hand. If whatever you do in retaliation leaves me with more paperwork, like that other time, there'll be hell to pay. Wufei."

"Duo's suggestion seems to be better than the hacking plan. I'm in. Heero."

"Okay, Cat. I give. I'll meet you and the others there but I still say this is crazy."

"For your sake, Quatre, I hope this article is just another one of Dorothy's antics. If I ever thought that you were two-timing my brother you know that I would have to target a certain part of your anatomy to make sure that you could never perform again. Call me and let me know if you are finally coming to visit next week. Say hi to Trowa for me. Cathy."

"Hi, Quatre. This is Relena. My husband seems to have disappeared. This wouldn't have anything to do with a certain article in Allure magazine, right? Please tell Heero that if he ends up in jail again, I'm not bailing him out."

"Touché, Quatre, dear. Fifteen to Thirteen. Until next round."

"Winner, the entire block is covered in jell-o. The street had to be closed. Paper work needs to be done now. There'll be hell to pay."

"Mr. Winner. This is Marie again. I trust that you were not involved with the incident at the Catalonia residence. Having a device explode in a mansion so that the building can be covered in strawberry jelly inside and out is not something a CEO would do. PR people will handle the press. I suggest you take a bath and erase any evidence. Have a pleasant evening."

Nice job. Very funny and very in character for all involved, Heero has a wicked sense of humor.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Man, Ruth, you reply fast!

I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I like giving Heero a weird sense of humor. I think it works for him.

*hugs because I can*

[ginalin.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* those kooky ex-Gundam pilots.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Well, when they do something, they make sure they do it well.

[lavenderfrost.livejournal.com]

OMG *DIES!*

I LOVE IT!

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

^____^

I'm glad that you ejoyed it.

I like how you interwove the threads of the plot, ever hinting as you went along. I loved reading it, boosted my mood right up. It was entirely wacky and zany, while remaining so normal and serious. Heero and Wufei had me in fits of giggles.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

I'm happy that you liked it. It was fun to write. Heero and Wufei can be a lot of fun to play with. *nodnod*

I wanted to try something different so it's good to know that it worked. ^_^

[dysis.livejournal.com]

*dies* Oh that was just _HILARIOUS_, Misanagi! *falls over again* Poor Wufei - but Dorothy so totally deserved the jelly. *laugh* I _love_ this - I'm keeping it for when I need a pick-me-up.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

Writing funny silly things is cool, especially when people like it and when you can make them laugh.

Thanks a lot for the comment. ^_^

*cackles* I wuv you! This rocks. Rocks!

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

^___^

Wuv you too! I'm glad that you liked it.

I can just imagine Quatre was passed out on the couch, completely unware of the whole fiasco, but being blamed for everything beginning to end. But then, if there was retaliation without him, he'd be even more ticked, wouldn't he?

This fic was a blast to read--nice job on establishing everyone's characterizations within a few lines. The only thing I have to critique about is most people announce themselves at the beginning of a message, not the end, like most of these. I can see why you did it though, to give the reader the opportunity to figure it out themselves. Just saying 'cause it popped out to me. Great job!

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

You know, I never thought of Quatre not taking part in the joke, but I guess it's a possibility. He wouldn't like it but it could definitely happen.

I'm glad that you ejoyed the fic. You are right about the names thing. I played with it but finally decided to leave it like it is.

Thanks for the comment. *hugs*

*whistles* Man, that is a lot of jelly. Love it! It's always good to have evil friends...and evil enemies to keep them on their toes.

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

Oh yep, lots and lots of jelly. Good thing Quatre can afford it. ^_~
And I'm sure Dorothy can afford to get the house clean too. *nodnod*

[hexadecimal00.livejournal.com]

You already know I adored this. So funny. I almost feel bad for Dorothy, but I wouldn't want to insult her by offering pity. ^_~

[misanagi.livejournal.com]

*grins* I'm glad that you like it. And you are right, Dorothy doesn't so pity. She's probably planing something right now.
