OK, so I know about my unfinished Coven but problem is I'm having big trouble with my e-mail, so, here is fic, not very good mind you, but anyway, I'm tired of simply sitting here and hoping to all the gods above that it will
work. ^_~ (By the by, the song is from "Annie Get Your Gun," music & lyrics by Irving Berlin, book by Herbert & Dorothy Fields) It starts with Zechs, the first stanza is him, then it's Noin up until the 'no you can't' that's Zechs. He is always the 'No you can't' and she is always the 'Yes I can'. Got that? Hopefully! ^_^

Competition

By Sami Kaji Lei

It was an every day type of day. Sort of. The band of merry Gundam
Pilots, or not so merry, but nevertheless, they were at a festival. Duo was
gleefully looking at all the games; target practice being one of them,
drinking ale being another, and still, there were others!
Hilde smiled at Duo, almost innocently, but everyone seemed to know her
better, particularly because she followed through by pulling, not too softly
either, on Duo's braid when his gaze strayed to some of the pretty booth
holders.

Heero seemed to be quite upset; the security had relieved him of his gun ,
much to the relief of the others, whom consisted of Quatre, Trowa, Wufei,
Relena, Dorothy, Catherine, Une, Treize, Sally, and of course, Zechs and
Noin. Recently, Zechs and Noin, our dear couple, had been in a bit of a
disagreement. It was rather simple actually, according to Duo, but as Wufei
put it, that was Duo, and Duo.....was Duo. (And that is why we love him so
much) Relena who had known her brother long enough now, she knew it might last
anywhere from another hour to another month. Who knew? It had to do with a
bet; Zechs jokingly bet Noin he could beat her at anything. Noin, while
seeing the joking side, still adamantly disputed the statement, to the point
where neither believed the other, and it wasn't really a joke anymore.
Sally grinned at this, guessing where it would lead, while Quatre shook his
head, and Trowa smiled, a bit. Dorothy and Catherine were taking bets on how
long it would be before Noin lost her temper. So far the highest bet was ten
dollars on ten minutes.

"You know, that fist fighting area looked intriguin, care to test your
theory?" Noin queried.

"Sure, but I thought you wanted to test the shooting range....?" Zechs
replied uncertainly, still smiling, if only somewhat smugly.

"Well, you are the one who suggested the simple straight away race!" Noin
answered back quickly.

Duo popped up between them and said cheerfully, "What about a drinking
contest?" before bing pulled away by the ever persistent Hilde. Someone had
to make sure he didn't get himself killed through his somewhat laid back
conversational remarks.

Suddenly the group stopped. Pointedly they stopped because Noin and Zechs
were in front and they had stopped.

"You need to get off that high horse you're riding!" Noin said pointedly
and none to quietly either.

"You just can't admit that I'm a little more skilled than you." Zechs
said jokingly, and smiling, but Noin shot back, and said "Oh yeah? I don't
think so!"

"I do." he replied sweetly.

Relena was about to break them up when Noin began to circle Zechs and he
responded by saying, or rather, singing (imagine that) playfully;

z:"I'm superior, you're inferior.
I'm the big attraction, you're the small.
I'm the major one, you're the minor one,
I can beat you shootin', that's not all.

n:Anything you can do, I can do better.
I can do any thing better than you.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

n:Anything you can be I can be greater.
sooner or later, I'm greater than you.
z:No, you're not.
n:Yes I am.
z:No you're not.
n:Yes I am.
z:No you're not.
n:Yes I am, yes I am.

The group was now walking slowly, listening in astonishment and amusement,
they reached the shooting range. Zechs eyed it thoughtfully as Noin carried
the last note of 'can' and as she finished he sang a line, with ehr
immediately retorting, though she had not used a bow and arrow in a long,
long while.

z:I can shoot a partridge with a single cartridge.
n:I can get a sparrow with a bow and arrow.
z:I can do most anything.
n:Can you bake a pie?
z:No.
n:Neither can I.

n:Anything you can sing I can sing louder.
I can sing anything louder than you.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

Thery continue walking, Hilde dragging the hysterical Duo behind her.
They came across a bragaining booth....

n:Anything you can buy, I can buy cheaper.
I can buy anything cheaper than you.
z:Fifty cents.
n:Forty cents.
z:Thirty cents.
n:Twenty cents.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

They got to a treasure hunting activity, for fun of course.^_^

n:Anything you can dig, I can dig deeper.
I can dig anything deeper than you.
z:Thirty feet.
n:Forty feet.
z:Fifty feet.
n:Sixty feet.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

Duo gleefully ran for some drinks as they came to the drinking booth.

n:I can drink my liquor faster than a flicker.
I can do it quicker and get even sicker.
z:I can live on bread and cheese.
n:And only on that?
z:Yes.
n:So can a rat.

n:Anything you can reach, I can go higher.
I can sing anything higher than you.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

n:Anyone you can lick, I can lick faster.
I can lick anyone faster than you.
z:With your fist?
n:With my feet.
z:With your feet?
n:With an axe.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

n:Any school where you went, I could be master.
I could be master much faster than you.
z:Can you spell.
n:No I can't.
z:Can you add.
n:No I can't.
z:Can you teach.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

Z:I could be a racer, quite a steeple chaser.
n:I can jump a hurdle even with my girdle.
I can open any safe.
z:With out being caught?
n:Yes.
z:That's what I thought.

n:Any note you can hold I can hold longer.
I can hold any note longer than you.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can.
z:No you can't.
n:Yes I can, yes I can.

"That was very interesting." commented Sally, grinning.
"A completely dishonorable show of lack of self respect!" Wufei fumed.
"That's only because you have enough for all of us." Duo commented
innocently, drink in hand. Wufei drew his katana he had slipped past the
guards, how no one quite knew. He chased after the braided, lovable
character. The company sweat dropped.

"So you agree I'm the better of us?" Noin asked triunphantly. Zechs
graciously accepted defeat, but not before saying, "But I'm ahead of you in
one way."

"Oh, and what is that?" said Noin impishly.

"I have your heart." he replied, smiling.

"You sure do." Noin replied and drew him down for a sweet kiss.
