Love's Labours Lost - Chapter 12 by Stella and Black Rose

[blackrose]

wow i hardly know where to start -
okay so are we loyal BI readers going to get a look at this script,

O_o

I can't imagine you guys wanting to read it. I mean...when I mentioned it, it was the last thing I expected. We've got some further revisions to do to it, but... I mean.... I don't think I want to POST it here, for various reasons, but, I dunno. As long as the story is still running, it'd spoil it to read the script. So, ummmm, thank you for wanting to read it! When we've completed the fanfic version and gotten those other changes done, maybe...something can be worked out for those few who still REALLY want to read the script.

I'm sure its briliant as all the other things I've seen you guys write are, also so tell us about it a bit ... and who would you like to seeplay the roles in your script?

Oh dear. What a question.... I think Seth Green would make an excellent Vash aka Byron Nash. Heero aka Gabriel Navarre, I dunno. I could see maybe Heath Ledger (in a suit) or Shane West (from A Walk to Remember)... depending. I'm sure there are others who could play the part as well.

Relena aka Katrina Paris... I have no idea. I like Julia Stiles a lot, but I think she's too young for the part. Gwenyth Paltrow would be a lovely Katrina, but I think she's too old. As long as its not Cameron Diaz, I'm cool. And really, we shouldn't expect anyone too well known to go for these parts, I don't guess. It's really a low budget film, so, maybe we'd get lucky and have an excellent, but not too famous cast like My Big Fat Greek Wedding (loved that movie)

I cant wait to read the rest of this story and missing by a mile too - ive been missing it myself -

Thanks Aku! I love Missing, I love working on it. It's been upsetting at times that I just haven't been able to. I guess I've been using all my comedy for LLL and the script version. I really want to work on Missing again, and we hope to someday make that into a script, too. *keeps dreaming*

ps heerois an idiot but what else can we expect eh??

Yeah, well, not much, apparently. *whacks Heero for good measure*

thanks again!!!

Love,
Rose

Another wonderfully exciting chapter with such a nasty cliffhanger of an ending At last we know Millardo's secret; poor Relena having to cope with her brother's medical condition together with the company problems. No wonder she is working so very hard to try and secure the companies future.

Im wondering whether when she considers Heero's protectiveness of his own company (by sticking to the pact) she will feel some sort of sympathy towards him. After all, her company seems to be nearly as important to her.

And poor Heero! His friends have all given up their share of the company to be with the women they love. If he does the same now it will almost seem as if he is following their lead and that he was not strong enough to make the decision on his own......aaargh, its just so darn complex!

I didnt know about you two making this into a script, but it would work so well. Are you going to continue to try and sell it? If you are, the best of luck and I would love to see this on the big screen. *tries to imagine who would be cast into the leading roles.....and comes up with is a bleached Hugh Grant playing Quatre!*

Very much looking forward to the next installment - some romantically happy fluff perhaps??

YOu can't leave it like that guys!!!!! *wails* I want more more more!!!
^____^

*hugs* you guys are the best, really. And I know that only rewards await your diligent efforts! =D

Ah~ I feel sooo bad for Relena..and HEero! what the hell! he's such a jackass! lol~ I'd like to bitchslap him to outer space! he better start realizing his dumbness in the next chapter.


More more please!

Great chapter guys!

-.-; I feel the need to quote Ruri from Nadesico on this...

baka

Although I am proud of Van! (Ah his hard-headed-ness... how I love thee) and Quatre too I suppose... but GRRRRR


Stupid Heero. Maybe coming from Vash Relena would have believed but never in a million years from Heero (the bet sounds too ridiculous for him to even wish to participate in)!

Post again soon!

[Sissi]

Finally! The twelfth chapter of LLL!! Yay! Oh, and I simply have to say this : Heero, you idiot!!! How could you?!?! * breather heavily * Gosh, I can't believe he did that, it is so unbelievable...

Anyway, once again, it was a wonderful chapter. Man, the fighting scene was awesome! Loved the way Van reacted, even though it wasn't the right thing to do...-_-;;

So, you girls have written a script of this story? Cool! I'm sure you guys have done a great job, basing on your previous and current works ^^.

Anyway, I can't wait to see how this story will end. It is a pity that it is almost in the end.

Alright, after like five cups of hot tea, and at least six bathroom breaks I finally finished reading your entire fic to date! *Whew* Gotta say though, it was well worth it! *I couldn't have pulled myself away from it even if I had tried!*

This fic is so unbelivably well written that I can honestly say I have never read one that I like soo much! I seriously just spent the whole time reading this with a perminant grin on my face imagining Vash parading around talking to Kitty, and writing fake e-mails to Relena, and making a bumbling idiot of himself like he should. The geek fight alone was enought to make me want to go back and re read parts of it already!

Not only have you paired up all my fav couples, you have kept all the characters so true to form that they seem like they were plucked directly from their respective shows and told to just change scripts. Good job, not only is that hard to do, it is really hard to find when reading other fic's.

You HAVE to keep going, and I am so sure that you will. You wouldn't want to keep us all left hanging here, would you?

Seriously though, after going through the phases of wanting to kill Heero myself, and then almost dying with laughter, I have come to realize that this is truly one of the absolute best fanfic's I have ever read, and am eagerly awaiting the next couple chapters that will mark it's conclusion. *But I'll be sad too, cause it's just so good!* *Sniff!*

BTW, Blackrose- do you post on Aishiteru as well? Theirs someone their named Blackrose, and I follow those stories as well. Also very amazing.

[blackrose]

poor Relena having to cope with her brother's medical condition together with the company problems. No wonder she is working so very hard to try and secure the companies future.

*nods* And some dolt is standing in her way. *smacks Heero* We hate him.

Im wondering whether when she considers Heero's protectiveness of his own company (by sticking to the pact) she will feel some sort of sympathy towards him. After all, her company seems to be nearly as important to her.

Maybe. But they're important for different reasons. I know we tried to hint at it, but Relena's company is a family business, backed by her family's money, left to her brother by her father, and to her by her brother. Heero's is his life's work. It's tough to say which one should be more important.... But Relena's ties are sentimental, Heero's are more a sense of pride.

And poor Heero! His friends have all given up their share of the company to be with the women they love. If he does the same now it will almost seem as if he is following their lead and that he was not strong enough to make the decision on his own......aaargh, its just so darn complex!

Oh, I don't think any of that will happen.

I didnt know about you two making this into a script, but it would work so well. Are you going to continue to try and sell it?

Yeah, too stubborn to give up, I guess. Just after we sent it off to Goldwyn, we got a phone call from a company asking us how we were doing with our script. Their job is to help writers get agents. I'm sure there's a fee involved, so we haven't called them yet, but it's another possibility. That guy was the one who like gushed to me over the phone how well we'd done to have a company ask for a copy of it, and said if they passed to call them, etc etc. *shrugs* Who knows. Maybe he was just trying to make us feel good. We also intend to get the beginning rewrite done so we can enter it in the Nicholls fellowship contest. May 1 deadline. *sigh*

If you are, the best of luck and I would love to see this on the big screen. *tries to imagine who would be cast into the leading roles.....and comes up with is a bleached Hugh Grant playing Quatre!*

And perhaps Colin Firth as Heero? *grins*

Very much looking forward to the next installment - some romantically happy fluff perhaps??

*thinks* Mmmmmmmm, I don't think so. Not between Heero and Rel. Van and Hitomi, perhaps....

*glomps* Thanks for reading, KMF!

Love,
Rose

[blackrose]

YOu can't leave it like that guys!!!!! *wails* I want more more more!!!

*hugs* Thanks Anidee!

Ah~ I feel sooo bad for Relena..and HEero! what the hell! he's such a jackass! lol~ I'd like to bitchslap him to outer space! he better start realizing his dumbness in the next chapter.

Mmmmmm, have to say no to that one, too. Well, okay, maybe he gets a tiny clue in the next chapter. But it's HEERO we're talking about. Clueless is his middle name.

Heero: No it isn't. I don't have a middle name.
Rose: Then we just gave you one. Heero Clueless Yuy.
Heero: -____- Why haven't I killed you yet?
Rose:

feel the need to quote Ruri from Nadesico on this...
baka

LOL! Yes! Where is she when we need her?

Although I am proud of Van! (Ah his hard-headed-ness... how I love thee) and Quatre too I suppose... but GRRRRR

Who knew it'd be Van to cave first? Come on, raise your hands...

Stupid Heero. Maybe coming from Vash Relena would have believed but never in a million years from Heero (the bet sounds too ridiculous for him to even wish to participate in)!

*nods* Yep yep! Poor Relena.... *kicks Heero for good measure*

Heero, you idiot!!! How could you?!?! * breather heavily * Gosh, I can't believe he did that, it is so unbelievable...

Yeah, I know. Sleep with Relena, or keep your business. WHO WANTS A STINKIN COMPANY, HEERO?! GAH! *smacks*

Anyway, once again, it was a wonderful chapter. Man, the fighting scene was awesome! Loved the way Van reacted, even though it wasn't the right thing to do...-_-;;

Yes, well, those who know Ken of Weiss Kreuz, he's a bit hot-headed, too. So, you put those two in a room together with Hitomi between them, and they're going to fight....

Anyway, I can't wait to see how this story will end. It is a pity that it is almost in the end.

Awww, thanks!!! Yes, yes, it's almost to the end.... We're glad in a way, and sad, too. We're really looking forward to having it done just for the sake of that feeling of completion. But I think we'll miss it, too.

Although, we do have something else up our sleeve....

*hugs Anidee, Angelic1090, and Sissi* Thanks so much for all your kind words of encouragement! We really REALLY appreciate it. *hugs again*

Love,
Rose

Alright, after like five cups of hot tea, and at least six bathroom breaks I finally finished reading your entire fic to date!

O_O;;; Wow, in one sitting???? I think it's sitting at like 80,000 words right now. O_o That's a novel, btw.

Gotta say though, it was well worth it! *I couldn't have pulled myself away from it even if I had tried!*

Wow, thank you!!!

I seriously just spent the whole time reading this with a perminant grin on my face imagining Vash parading around talking to Kitty, and writing fake e-mails to Relena, and making a bumbling idiot of himself like he should. The geek fight alone was enought to make me want to go back and re read parts of it already!

Stella did an awesome job with the geek fight, if I may say so....
And *giggles* Vash! Gotta love Vash...

Not only have you paired up all my fav couples, you have kept all the characters so true to form that they seem like they were plucked directly from their respective shows and told to just change scripts.

Thank you! *hugs* We've tried really hard to capture their personalities, and have really had the best time doing it. Some others have suggested maybe not making it quite such a crossover, and we realize it's a tough sell just on that alone, but who can pass up VASH annoying Heero, I wanna know? *grins*

Vash: Hey, Heero, maybe we should be in another fic together sometime. We've gotten along so well in this one.
Heero: No.
Vash: *pouts* But... I thought we were friends.
Heero: You get on my nerves. Go back to your own universe.
Vash: Awwwwwww, I know you don't mean that. Besides, it's all dusty there. I like it here. As long as Meryl is with me, that is....
Heero: -____- Fine. Then *I'll* go to a different universe....
Rose and Stella: *snicker snicker* Be careful what you wish for, Yuy.
Heero: O_O
*POOF*
Heero: GAH! What the-- *horse-drawn carriage drives by* O_O;;; Not this universe!
Stella: You want to go back to dealing with Vash?
Heero: In the 21st century?
Rose: Not necessarily.
Heero: Damn. I don't think I really want to know what they have in store for me this time. -___-;;;
*male voice* Ah, there you are cousin. Have you been, then, to meet our new neighbors? I find them charming....
Heero: Why do I get the feeling that if I look down, I'll be wearing a sissy frock coat?
Rose and Stella: *giggle*
Heero: *glares* Wait. O_O Who is calling me COUSIN?
Rose and Stella: *giggle giggle giggle*
*different male voice* I refuse to stay another minute in this house!
Heero: This sounds happy already. One question: How long before I meet Relena?
Rose and Stella: *gigglesnort*
Rose: Oh, not long. I think you meet her in the 1st chapter.
Heero: Do I get a lemon scene?
Stella: Probably not. Sorry.
Heero: How badly do I f*** it up when we meet THIS time?
Rose: Ohhhhh, you only thought elevators were bad....
Heero: Great. Do we have something stronger than sherry to drink? I think I could go for some scotch. Oh, "cousin"....

You HAVE to keep going, and I am so sure that you will. You wouldn't want to keep us all left hanging here, would you?

Oh no, definitely not. We have this finished, minus 2 scenes or so. We just have to revise and edit and write those 2 scenes. Of course ch 13 isn't in very good shape right now. *sigh*

Seriously though, after going through the phases of wanting to kill Heero myself, and then almost dying with laughter, I have come to realize that this is truly one of the absolute best fanfic's I have ever read, and am eagerly awaiting the next couple chapters that will mark it's conclusion.

Well...MAYBE there's SOME hope the genius will manage to redeem himself. However tiny that hope may be....

Heero: *downs scotch* I'm not listening...

BTW, Blackrose- do you post on Aishiteru as well? Theirs someone their named Blackrose, and I follow those stories as well. Also very amazing.

Yeah, I do. I *think* I'm the only black rose there.... So, thank you!

*hugs*

And nice to meet you! Thanks so very much for reading!!!

Love,
Rose

OK, somewhat off-topic: what about Hugh Jackman as Heero? He's so wonderfully grumpy in X-Men...Colin Firth's a dear but not quite as...I don't know...capable of mass destruction? Even as a geek? But then who would play Van? (Orlando Bloom? hmm...have only seen him as an amazingly calm elf...) & after seeing "Chicago," I kind of think that a bleached Catherine Zeta-Jones could make a marvelously bitchy/controlling Dorothy...although I can't imagine her with blond hair...this is too much fun...must stop...must stop NOW...

Should we start an off-topic forum debating who should star in your movie? (only partially kidding...come on, you know it would be fun... )
