*headdesk* *arrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!*


Okay, this is it; I swear. O.o I have to go... do something. Catnip the cats or something...




Part 3


The first incoming call came from Wufei, oddly enough. Since I was not otherwise occupied, I answered rather than let it go to voice mail. I wasn’t particularly happy with him right then; he had, after all, been on the wrong side during the Mariemaia thing. He’d allowed himself to be used by a megalomaniac. Worse, he’d kicked the holy crap out of my Wing while I did my best not to just incinerate his guilt-ridden ass. But he seemed afterward to be genuinely appalled at his part in the attempted coup, so I was willing to speak to him.

“Yuy.”

“Chang.”

“I have a complaint.”

“I’m sure you do.”

“Whatever possessed you to just walk out of the hospital like that?”

“I decided to leave.”

“It did not occur to you that other people might be concerned about you?”

“That’s very kind of you, Chang, but your concern is not necessary.”

“I didn’t say *I* was concerned!”

“Then what are we talking about?”

“Relena! She was heartbroken to find you gone!”

“I’ve already heard about Duo’s shirt. I’ll buy him a new one.”

“Duo...? What the hell has Duo to do with this? You left without a word to that woman! She’s been beside herself with worry ever since!”

“And that concerns you... how?”

“It was a damned dishonorable thing to do; just disappear like that!”

I smirked at the phone. Did I detect something more than just righteous indignation?

“Chang, there is nothing between Relena and me. She’s a fine person, but she is not *my* person. If you have an interest, please feel free to pursue it.”

I was met with incoherent sputtering. I said mildly, “She seems to enjoy teddy bears; good luck. Invite me to the wedding.” And I hung up before he could form a cogent response.

Either I'm having a frightening moment of deja-vu, or you already posted this...lol.

Have I ever mentioned how much I like your stuff? I've re-read what you have written of BFB twice. So it's all good.

I think it must be deja vu, because I checked and I don't find this part anywhere. O.o Not to say I haven't done that on occasion... ^___^

Heero has learned to appreciate the fun of 'the last word'. *snerk* Wonder how long Wufei sputters and growls at the phone before he realizes he's talking to himself? :P

Any word?

Probably a good three minutes. ^___^

No. >.< I think the phones are either down or jammed. They have a house phone because of X's job and that won't go through, and the cell is dead too. No emails since this morning. They're going to lose power if they haven't already. >_>

You got suddenly quiet last night... everything ok?

I just kind of fell over at about midnight. No news, of course. And irritatingly enough, no local info online. Everything is about Galveston. O.o Which is fine, given its position and history, but... not helpful to me. O.O

LoL! Ah... I do hope Chang takes Heero's advice!

I'm sure he'll be resistant; you know how stubborn he is. ^___~

Man, just checked the internet and it looks rotten down there! My son is north and west of Houston and said that the base was on lockdown but so far nothing was happening to them. I hope your brother/family is ok!

And all three of these made *my* day! And the other comment about 'teddy bears' and Wufei, either you made it in a different fic or I've read it somewhere...

According to the Weather Channel, they are being hammered at this moment. And the damn phones are down/overloaded. >.< His partner is a native of Corpus Christi and is used to this stuff, so hopefully they'll be okay...

You were right and so was spaceprincess18! ^____^ I did check before posting, but I apparently didn't check deep enough. Family-induced brain farts. ^___^

No, it's obviously me losing my mind. O.o *headdesk*

I did check back; must have missed that one. *sigh* Thank you! ^____^

...now where the hell *did* i leave my brain...?

You see what happens when you tried to get all fancy with the multiple cuts in one post?  ^o^  *shakes fist at the future*

btw... love that line about heero having to not incinerate wufei's guilt-ridden ass, and how that made him grumpy. <3

I see it as "I can blow him to crap inside a suit or I can beat the crap out of him in person. In person is better." And then he ended up in the hospital and didn't get to do that. But he's philosophical about it; it's probably a better outcome anyway. ^____^

He'll just snark at Wufei for the next twenty years. ^__~

I can see the double-cut thing is going to bite me now and then... O.O Oh well. ^__^

I checked around, you posted it as a part two in your last spam day post. Lol, I knew I'd seen it already!

From: [identity profile] lavendarlizard.livejournal.com
Yeah, I did. *smacks self* I checked that entry, but clearly was not paying attention to the "double post" thing. ^___^ I blame it on anxiety. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. ^__~

Heero certainly isn't going to stand in the way of a knight in shiny... um... wool suit... ^____^
