Somewhere over the rainbow....

by Dead Blush

I'll admit it...I'm a sucker for hitch hikers, especially during rainy weather. I see a person standing out in the rain with his or her thumb sticking out with the rain pouring down...and...sigh. Well, actually this person had her leg sticking out... I thought it was a her-leg type situation. It turns out that the her-leg was actually a his-leg.

"Where are you heading?" I asked the wet girl...guy..whatever.

"Wow...you're cute... oh, umm...God...that cafe...what's the name... Blue Blush Cafe. My friend owns the place and she wants me to come and sing tonight. Unfortunately, I left my wallet on my other pair of pants that I left on the plane that I think a stewardess err...well, kept. Anyhoo, I'm out of money, out of luck, out of clothes, out of...nevermind...ya know...nevermind. Will you just take me there?" was his...yes, his reply.

He really did look like a guy despite all the make up he wore and the nice legs he had.

"Hop in," I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

About 30 seconds into the driving he began to play with my braid. I wouldn't have minded, but I felt like this was his own way of hitting on me. This guy was incredibly hot and everything, but I have a boyfriend who I intend on being faithful to forever and ever and ever. What's my wonderful koi's name...err...Heero!!!

"I'm Brian. What's your name?" he asked me, batting his long, mascara-coated eyelashes at me. I almost hit an 18 wheeler from staring at Brian's eyes. I wondered how his mascara stayed on through the rain. Waterproof, I guess.

"My name's Duo," I told him as I tried to concentrate on the road.

"You're cute...did I mention that to you already?" he asked me about two minutes later.

"Eep," was my reply.

I felt something rub across my thigh. I looked down and saw a hand...not my hand...a hand with chipping black fingernail polish on the fingernails of the fingers that were rubbing my thigh. I pulled to the side of the road as fast as I could without causing a wreck. I turned to look at Brian. He stared at me with icy green eyes. His lips played an innocent expression, but I could see past that...definitely.

"Something wrong?" he purred.

"I have a boyfriend," I tried to explain.

He looked into my eyes and said, "And I have a girlfriend...your point is that it's not right to flirt or anything like that...right?"

"Never mind..."

"Where are youheading to?"

"What?! That's none of your business!"

"I'm just asking. Maybe you'd like to accompany me to Blue Blush Cafe. Unless you've got somewhere else you've got to be," he said oh-so-nonchalantly.

I didn't want to go back to the safehouse. No offense to Wu Fei, but he is the epitome of guys with PMS. He needs to get laid or something.

I nodded my head and inhaled and exhaled slowly. I pulled back onto the road and drove on. Brian eyed me the whole time as he chatted about his friend and the cafe. The whole time I only thought of Heero, and how I was pretty sure that I would betray him. He would probably kill me, but I think that might be alright.

"BRIAN! You made it!" screamed a tall girl with orange hair from the other side of the cafe.

"Liz! God...I picked up a person who picks up hitch hikers to get here. He's sort of uptight so give him some free drinks...it would only help him," replied Brian.

Liz darted over to where we stood by the entrance. She hugged Brian and examined my braid. She then sniffed my braid.

"Duo Maxwell," I said as I kissed her hand.

"Yadda yadda...your hair is beautiful...oh, I'm Liz... your hair...ugh...I love it!" she said to me as she stroked the braid.

"Okay, everyone...to end Karaoke night, I would like to get my friend Brian up here to sing...he's great...he needs to get his act together and find a band. Bri...get up here NOW!" Liz shouted from the Karaoke stage.

Brian ran up to the stage and grabbed the mic. One could only imagine how shocked I was when I heard him sing. He sounded as beautiful as he looked...oh God...

Then he winked at me and abruptly stopped singing.

"Duo...up here...you sing..." he said.

I don't know why I went up there, but I did...and...dot dot dot... I sang with him... I was mediocre, but he was a god.

"Some day I'll wish upon a star
and wake up where the clouds are far
behind meeeeeeee....
where troubles melt like lemon drops
away above the chimney tops...
that's where you'll find me..."

I had a blast...I truly did. That is, I had fun until the end of the song when Brian yanked me by the braid to pull me into his arms and kiss me. It wouldn't have been bad if I had been able to stop kissing him.

Then the worst possible thing happened. I saw a uni-banged figure out of the corner of my eye. I immediately stopped kissing Brian as I saw Trowa...and Quatre...and Rashid...and Heero. Heero glared at me, and I thought I was going to die. I didn't die though... Brian did.

Gunshots...I don't want to think about it anymore. He had kissed me, and Heero shot him with his gun.

I felt totally disgusted because the poor boy could have been something great. Brian had been so young...only 27. I guess that's the age when the best musicians are supposed to die, but it still doesn't make it right.

"You truly live out that whole Shinigami thing, dont ya?" Heero asked me before he punched me in my stomach.

I smiled, gave him the finger, and then asked him how we were supposed to get out of this mess.

Heero smiled back evilly and mentioned that there were some Gundams hidden close by and that although he and I were definitely through, he would gladly give me a lift back in his Gundam.

I sighed and slipped the microphone that Brian and I sang into into my pants. I felt bad. The owner of the cafe and the customers were sort of shocked at the whole scene...they noticed that we left only after it was too late.

I felt bad...I felt very bad.

"Somewhere over the rainbow..." I started to sing lightly as we walked to where the Gundams were.

"Shut up," Heero shouted at me.

I felt bad.

The End

Depressing? I didn't mean to...eep...
Yes, I made Heero a bastard...understatement
Heero is one of my favorite GW guys so don't get any wrong ideas....okay, he is my favorite...i'll shut up now.
