Now on with the fic!

NERVES

Zechs scratched his head when he saw the big, bold red letters Duo and Quatre made on the metal shutter.

"Uh, isn't it supposed to be NERV?" Zechs asked as he went over his notes.

"Well, yeah," Duo replied with a shrug as he and his buddy took a step backward to examine their work. "But we think it'll be too UNORIGINAL if we used NERV. Right, Quatre?" the American youth explained with a lopsided grin.

"Um, I think so." Quatre replied hesitantly.

Zechs nodded and went, "It's okay." Then thinking to himself that he should talk to Relena about copyright laws. "I'll be back later, just keep up the good work."

"How are the costumes?" Zechs asked as he approached Hilde and Cathrine, who were unpacking the clothes Relena ordered the past three days, and fixing them on a rack.

"Oh, they're all here." Hilde replied with a cheerful smile. "They should fit well." She added as she took a set and held it in front of Zechs' face. "Here's yours. You might as well wanna try it." She said.

"It's really cool." Cathrine chirped.

"I have so much to do right now. Maybe later."

Zechs left the two girls afterwards and headed towards the garage to take a look at the cars.

"Hey, Sally!" he called boisterously as he entered the closed area. "Uh, where's Noin?" he asked all of a sudden, noticing her absence.

Sally stood there and gave him a funny look. "F.Y.I., Noin's under the van you are standing in front of. There's her foot." The woman pointed.

"Yup, I'm here!" Noin half-shouted, her gloved hand reaching out to tug on Zechs' pants.

"Can you still breathe?" Zechs asked with a concerned tone in his voice as he knelt down.

All of a sudden, Noin slipped under the white van and gave him a smile. Her face was all dirty, and her blue get-up was slowly turning to gray.

"I could hold my own." She replied with a sigh. "It's just like repairing your own MS, but with less height."

"Bet you can't stand the smell of gas." Zechs said as he jokingly pinched Noin's nose.

"Yeah, right. And while you do all the walking and talking and checking stuff --- But, hey! What about me?" she retorted then shook her head, knowing how stupid that must have sounded to him. But still, he might have gotten the message.

"Okay, okay. I can read between the lines." Zechs sighed and helped Noin up to her feet. "Now strip and let's swap." He said as he pulled down on the front zipper to Noin's get-up.

Noin, now in a tank top and cargo shorts, which she wore inside her get-up, grabbed Zechs' clipboard and pen with a content grin on her face. "Oh, aren't you a great friend!" she exclaimed as she gave him a bear hug and a small peck on the cheek.

"We-ell." Zechs murmured with a blush, slipping his arms around her waist. "That's what best friends are for."

"Oh, cut this cutesy stuff!" Sally sighed, shoving the two off.

"Feeling unfair?" Noin asked with a grin.

"Get real, Noin." Sally replied with a roll of her eyes.

"Okay. You two get along. I'll handle these cars." Zechs suggested with a deep breath.

"Oh boy!" Sally cheered as she stripped off her own jumpsuit. "Thank you, Zechs!"

"C'mon!" Noin exclaimed, pulling on her friend's wrist as she lead her out of the garage.

"We love you, Zechs!"

And the two went off in different directions after they divided their job.

"Hey, Heero! Trowa! How's programming life going?" Noin said, half-mockingly.

"Oh, fine." Trowa replied.

"We'll be finished in time for the show." Heero added.

"Uh, where's Zechs?" Trowa asked. "He's in charge of checking on things, right?"

"Yeah, but he swapped places with me and Sally. Isn't he so sweet?"

"Whatever you say." Trowa muttered.

"Um, guys," Noin started, "Do you have that funny feeling inside you?"

"What do you mean?"

"About this show?"

Noin looked at the Japanese pilot then at Trowa. "I do. What about you two?"

The boys nodded.

Relena: (seated on a typical director's chair)
Okay, I want you guys in your places on three!

Duo: Neon Genesis Gundamelion, directed and produced by Relena Darlian Peacecraft.

Relena: Duo...

Duo: (rolls his eyes)

Relena: On three! One, two, three! Action!

Heero: (stands by a phone booth as the ground is shaking) Where could that Misato Noin be?

A blue car pulls into a deadly halt at his feet.

Noin: (opens the door on the right) Hey, Heero Ikari! Hurry!

Heero: (enters the car) What took you so long?

Noin: We-ell! Someone forgot to load my car. (stares at a sheepish Duo, who was in charge of putting gasoline)

Noin drives until they get to the main entrance to the HQ.

Noin: Did your father give you an I.D.?

Heero: What I.D.? And my father is dead, how can he give me an I.D.?

Noin: No, silly! The NERVES I.D. Do you have an I.D.?

Heero: (reaches into his pocket) Here. (hands out a hard white card)

Noin: Good.

Noin: Dr. Akage, I have Heero-boy here.

Heero: I'm not a boy!

Noin: Whatever. Anyway, here he is.

Une: (takes of her glasses and unzips her outfit)

Treize: (watches closely with ogling eyes)

Relena: Treize...*groan*

Une: Good. We'll have him examined first.

Heero: ...

Une: Maia!

Hilde: Yes? Oh, hi, Ms. Noin.

Noin: Hello.

Une: This is Heero Ikari. Get the observation tank ready.

Hilde: The chosen one?

Noin: Yep.

~~~

Une: His record shows that he is in good condition. We won't be needing him for a while, so its better he take a rest.

Noin: He could stay in my house.

Une: That is very nice of you, Misato.

Heero: Are you crazy?!

Noin: What?

Heero: I am not staying with you! Zechs will go ballistic.

Noin: (blushes a bit) Huh? Would you straighten up a bit? This is only a silly show, okay? (stops dead)

Relena: What did you say, Noin?!

Noin: Nothing! Just wanna get it straight with Heero.

Heero: ...

Une: Whatever. Are you sure you can handle him, Misato?

Noin: Of course! I'm the most responsible person you'd ever know.

Une: (mutters) That's what I'm afraid of.

Noin: Here's my house. Hope you feel at home.

Heero: ...

Noin: (rolls her eyes) Don't you have anything else to say?

Heero: ...

Noin: (mutters to herself) Anyway, this'll be your room. (leads the youth to a bare bedroom with the bed the only one present.)

Heero: How come?

Noin: What?

Heero: Did you plan this? Cos there's already a bed.

Noin: (sighs) It's a long story. (to herself) And I don't even know the story at all.

Heero: ...

Noin: Look, you must be tired so I suggest you take a bath first while I cook something for us.

Heero: Acknowledged.

Relena: What the---! Hey, I can't see!

Zechs: (covering Relena's eyes) I can't let you see this part.

Relena: Milliard! I am the director here! Take your hands off my eyes!

Zechs: After Heero finishes.

Noin: Zechs! It's okay. He's wearing boxers anyway.

Zechs: (sighs) I guess you're right.

Relena: Oh, good. Thank you, Noin.

Noin: (shakes her head) Now, what do we have here... (opens the refrigerator) What the---! There's nothing here! Just beer?! (looks at Relena)

Relena: What? You didn't know? Misato drinks a LOT.

Duo: She's right. You oughta watch more anime.

Noin: Excuse me?! I am so not drinking.

Relena: Oh, really? What about the time you, Milliard, and Treize were drinking, and then you got real drunk?

Noin: What? That was red wine. And how did you know about it? I hardly even drink. I only had one shot.

Relena: I was up, and I saw my brother and Treize helping you to your room.

Zechs: Er, Relena...I think this is getting a bit out-of-hand...

Relena: Shut up!

Noin: I can't believe this! You're gonna kill me.

Relena: Okay, okay. Let's drop the beer. Duo, go to the nearest store and buy two dozens of rootbeer, and Arizona drinks.

Duo: Huh? Why me?

Relena: Because I said so.

Duo: Oh, no, missy. I am not running an errand for you.

Relena: Oh, yeah?! Well, who is the boss around here?

Duo: You're just the director-slash-producer. What difference does that make?

Relena: Nothing. Except that I am in more control than you are. Now go before I slit your throat!

Duo: Okay. Fine! (mutters to himself) Hah! Give her the role as queen of the world and it goes through her whole system.

Relena: I heard that! (throws several pencils at his direction)

Duo: Yikes!!!

Noin: How are you now?

Heero: ...

Noin: What do you do in school anyway?

Heero: Nothing.

Noin: Whatever you say, Heero. I'm not gonna force you to say anything if you don't want to.

BZZZZZZT!

Noin: I'll get it. (peeps at a glass a panel) Oh, it's Kaji. (opens the door)

Zechs: Hi, Misato! Whazzup?

Noin: Being cool? That's very unlike you.

Zechs: Not exactly. (whispers) It's the stupid script.

NERVES

Treize: Heero, I would like you to meet your co-pilots:

Relena: I'm Relena Sohryu Darlian.

Dorothy: I'm Rei Catalonia.

Wufei: I'm Chang Toji.

Quatre: I'm Kaworu Winner.

Heero: hn...

Treize: Meet Lt. Noin in the Control Room. She'll give you the instructions.

Noin: Estimated attack time: 2100. I want all of you inside your Gundamelions---horrible name---in 20 minutes. Now gear up!

All: Acknowledged.

Dorothy: Boy, do we sound a lot like Heero.

Une: I'll be in the lab if you'd need me.

Noin: Sure. (turns to the large bay window)

Zechs: Noin! There's an emergency.

Noin: Huh?

Hilde: Ms. Noin, an Oz Angel is spotted approximately 100 feet away from us, hovering above La Grange.

Noin: What? Noda! Cathrine! Make sure all consoles, tunnels and entrances leading to the Central Dogma are locked.

Trowa: Locked.

Cathrine: Security Systems activated.

Sally: Lieutenant, we cannot probe much more because it's A.T. field is so strong.

Noin: Shoot! (grabs a mic) All GUN pilots, in your places now. We're sending you in the battlefield. Heero, you're in-charge here. Relena, you fight alongside Heero. Dorothy, you shield the two.

Dorothy: Me? Shield?

Noin: That's what the script says.

Dorothy: Relena! Do you have anything against me as to set me up as your shield?

Zechs: Oh, boy.

Relena: Nothing. You're Rei. That's what she does most often.

Dorothy: ...

Noin: Anyway, Toji, Kaworu, you bring up the rear. Whatever happens, don't stop firing.

All: Acknowledged. ^o^

Noin: Kaji, do you think this will cause the 2nd Impact?

Zechs: (holds Noin's hand) I hope not.

~~~~

BATTLEFIELD

Duo: Hahahaha! I am the almighty 2nd Oz!

Relena: Laugh all you want, bug-face!

Dorothy: You look terrible.

Duo: Oh yeah?! Your mechs looked a lot more terrible. And you call yourselves heroes even if you look more sinister.

Heero: ...

Quatre: ?

Wufei: Let's get this over with, shall we?

Relena: Alright then!

Dorothy: Wait a minute! How do we use this?

Relena: Oh, yeah. Um, I...I, well I forgot.

Heero and Wufei: Oh, great.

Quatre: What now?

Duo: I think you should pull on the trigger.

Relena: Oh, yeah! Thanks Duo!

Wufei: Oh brother.

Relena: Now!

Duo: What?! This is what I get for teaching you how?

Heero: (monotone) Whoopee.

Bolts of energy crackled and blasted from the GUN's cannons. The heroes surround Duo. Duo's A.T. field weakens, Relena penetrates through it and they fire all over the place.

Duo: Aaah!

~~~

Beat-up Duo as Kensuuke: Whoa! Great view...

They sat across the large living room, chatting and laughing. Relena was someplace else.

"Whew! At last, I could rest." Hilde sighed.

"Yeah, that outfit I wore was sure hot." Dorothy replied.

"At least we'd wear it for only one time." Trowa replied.

"Know what, guys?" Sally started,

"What?"

"I think things were a lot better back when we used to be bored to death after GW."

"I have to agree." Treize groaned.

"So, would that call for a party?" Noin asked, sitting up.

"Might be." Une giggled.

"Alright!"

"Where could Relena be, anyway?" Zechs asked.

"Who knows? Writing up scripts for her next precious show maybe." Heero replied grimly.

Deathstare from everyone else.

"Okay, so it's not a good idea." Heero admitted.

"But then, carpe diem!" Cathrine exclaimed.

"Oh, but!" Duo and Noin shot up their hands.

"What?"

"No beer please."
