Mythbusters (1/?)
Posted: Fri Apr 30, 2004 2:58 pm
Disclaimer, I do not own Gundam Wing, and Mythbusters is a show on discovery which inspired this.
The air reeked of an evil smell, a smell that spelled doom for one who made the mistake of getting to close. So maybe doom was overstating things a little, but there is no chance on earth any self-respecting male want to be anywhere near that. Unfortunately, there was a message to be delivered, so he took a deep breath (planning to hold it) and advanced forward.
"Relena."
*tearing noise* "What is it?"
(She's waxing her legs)
"You're secretary just called reminding you about your promise to fill an hour on a television charity drive this weekend."
At first on her face was a look of confusion, then understanding, then a look that resembled a collage student realizing they have two hours to write a five page essay. "I forgot! What am I going to come up with to fill an hour?!"
*silence*
"Heero, I'm really asking, what can I do?"
He shrugged, "How should I know? You're the public speaker."
"I doubt seriously my talking about politics for an hour would raise much money for charity, come on can't you think of anything?"
"I have degrees in engineering, computer science, and history, and I flew around in a gundam, exactly what part of my resume qualifies me to entertain people?"
"Ha, ha, great, more sarcasm, just what I needed." After one particular frustrated and hard pull a little blood dripped onto her shirt.
"Ouch! Great now I've got blood on my favorite casual shirt." She reached for the can of soda she had been drinking and pored it over the stain.
Heero blinked, "... Why did you just do that?"
Relena who was busy wiping with a towel responded "Well I heard once that soda can take blood stains out..."
He lightly chuckled "that's just an urban myth, but if you wash them right now it should still come out."
"Don't laugh at me! How am I supposed to know something like that is just made up?"
"That fact that it sounds utterly ridicules?"
"Don't tell me you've never believed something that was just an urban myth."
"There was a time I thought a Duck's Quack didn't echo."
"It... does?"
"It's sort of strange the way it actually works, but yes it does in fact echo."
"How do you know this stuff?"
"Actually I wrote an engineering paper on urban legends."
You could easily picture the cartoonish bubble with turning gears as she said "So... You happen to know a lot about urban myths?"
He began slowly backing away "... yes..."
"Like say... maybe enough to fill an hours worth of time?"
He turned to begin a mad dash out of the room.
"Heero Yuy! Get back in here you coward!"
Begrudgingly, he lowered his head and came back in.
"So about those urban myths?"
"I am NOT going to do your hour for you."
"Then how about you just demonstrate?"
"Hn?"
"I'll narrate the myths, you prove they are just fiction by recreating them. You could get any supplies and help you need from Duo! Oh this will be great!"
"Hold on a second, I didn't agree to anything."
She just gave him a puppy-dog eyes look.
"... Fine."
She brightened, glomped him, kissed him, and he wondered how exactly he was going to pull all this off in three days.
