Part Three

Heero and Hilde walked into the casino, eyes darting around. No
one noticed them; they were all too busy watching some girl sing.
Hilde snorted, “Typical males.” Heero only grunted,
ignoring the girl as he tried to sense someone… He sense
four… Hilde was one, so where were the other three?
“You sense the other three, right?” Hilde asked and he
nodded. Her head turned slowly, her eyes closed, and she pointed.
“One’s that way.” They pushed through some men and
spotted a stunned Dorothy. Hilde took one look at her outfit and
burst out laughing. “Chilly, Dorothy?”
Dorothy blinked and turned to glare at her. “Oh shut
up!” She took them both in, grinning slightly. “So
we’re all stuck in some old western it seems…”
Then she paled as she took in Heero again. “Uh… Maybe
we should go ya’ll!”
“Why? There are two others here!” Hilde gave Dorothy a
questioning look and Dorothy shook her head. ‘If he sees
Relena he might freak! Ah!’ Dorothy grabbed Heero by the arm
and tried steering him outside, but he remained where he was.
“Come on! Let’s go!” She tried to give an innocent
smile, but could tell he wasn’t buying it.
“What are you hiding?” He asked, his voice low and
dangerous. Dorothy sighed and very hesitantly pointed toward the
singing girl. Heero looked, an eyebrow raised. “What?
It’s a singing girl.”
“Heero… That’s Relena.”
“WHAT!?” Heero rushed forward, the two girls pushing
through the crowd to chase after him. Heero skidded to a stop as
Relena leaned close to some blond guy with a mustache and felt
his blood began to boil. “I’LL KILL YOU!”
Hilde’s eyes widened as she realized the truth; then let out
a yelp as fingernails dug into her ski. She turned to see
Dorothy, eyes wide with shock. “THAT’S QUATRE!
She’s about to kiss MY QUATRE! STOP! I’LL KILL
YOU!” Heero and Dorothy shouted nearly at the same time and
leaped forward.
Hilde’s eyes widened even more as she saw Dorothy tackle
Relena and Heero tackle Quatre. She winced, “This is not
gonna be pretty…” She sighed, “I can’t let
them do this…” But it was too late really… Their
attacks had caused the rest of the place to explode into chaos
and Hilde ducked as a chair flew her way. “HEY!” Hilde
pulled out her guns and shot them both, silence suddenly reigned
and people turned to stare at her.
“Lightning Hilde!” Someone yelled and she grinned. She
kinda liked the reaction she got.
“That’s right! Now stop right there and return to your
original activities.” She gave them all a threatening glare.
“I mean it.” A few grumbled but slowly they returned to
their original spots and Hilde holstered her guns. “Good,
now.” She turned to her four friends and a chair flew over
her head. “AH!” Fighting had started again.
‘Argh!’ Hilde ducked behind a table as a gunshot rang
out. “We’re all going to die and it’s your faults,
jealous idiots!” She hissed at her four friends. They
weren’t paying attention… Relena was too busy keeping
Dorothy at bay with a chair… While Quatre was clinging to
Heero singing 99 bottles of beer on the wall.
“SHERIFF! SHERIFF! FIGHTINGS AT THE CASINO!” A man came
yelling down the street and Wufei and Trowa exchanged looks.
Trowa rolled his eyes as Wufei rubbed his hands together.
“Finally! Justice shall be served!” Wufei ran off and
Trowa sighed.
“I think that spell messed with your head, Wufei.” He
blinked and stared at the yelling man, “Which way’s the
casino?” The man pointed and Trowa groaned in annoyance.
“WUFEI! YOU’RE GOING THE WRONG WAY!”
Wufei stopped and came back, sulking.
“Dorothy, I swear I didn’t know!” Relena shrieked
as Dorothy grabbed the chair and yanked it out of her hands. The
blond girl eyes narrowed dangerously as she advanced on Relena.
“Dorothy, I’m telling the truth! I just thought he was
some random guy and I was mad at Heero and I wanted for once to
not be so innocent!” Dorothy stopped and sighed.
“Oh fine… I believe you…But next time, chose a
different guy!” The two girls grinned at each other then
both yelled as two drunken brawlers nearly ran into them.
“We caused this!” Relena and Dorothy ducked behind the
table Hilde was using as a shield and peeked over the edges.
“You and your jealous boyfriends… Actually, only one
was jealous…The other’s drunk.” Hilde giggled,
pointing out Heero who had long since given up on being mad and
was just trying to pry Quatre off of him.
“Oh god… Quatre!” Dorothy shook her head,
“We’ve gotta stop this!” She turned and spotted
one of Hilde’s guns. “Use your gun again! Maybe
it’ll quiet them down enough for us to get out of
here!”
“Maybe…” Hilde stood up, a gun in each hand and
fired at the ceiling. Silence reigned and people turned toward
her… Suddenly another shot rang out and
they all turned to see a mad Heero pick up his hat…Which now
had a bullet hole in it thanks to the drunk Quatre.
Quatre stared at the gun in his hand, “Hee.Bang.”
“Lightning Hilde and Snake-Eyes Winner!” Someone
shouted and Hilde raised an eyebrow.
“That name again! Wait…Snake-Eyes?”
Quatre waved at her cheerfully, not noticing the fact every other
cowboy and saloon girl was watching him with fear.
“That’s me! Hi Hilde!”
“Somebody get the sheriff! There’s gonna be a
gunfight!”
The sober ones, aka Heero, Relena, Dorothy, and Hilde exchanged
looks. All thinking the same thing, ‘A gunfight?!’
“Sheriff! Deputy! Lightning Hilde and Snake-Eyes Winner are
getting’ ready to shoot it out!” A girl gasped out to
Trowa and Wufei and nearly glomped Trowa. “Ya just gotta do
sumthin’!”
“Yes, ma’am…Could you please get off of me?”
Trowa pried the girl off.
“Get off of him weak woman! We must see that justice is
served!” Wufei ran off and Trowa sighed before chasing after
him. The two soon reached the tavern and stopped, seeing the
scene. The windows had been broken with chairs and some drunken
cowboys were moaning on the ground as saloon girls tried to help
them up. The two were about to race inside when four very
familiar people rushed out of the tavern… Two helping a
fifth person.
“Justice must be put on stall…” Wufei muttered as
the other spotted them and raced over.
Hilde holstered her guns and giggled at their outfits.
“Sheriff, eh Wufei? Bet you’re loving this role!”
She reached up and removed her hat that had somehow remained on
her head during the brawl and shook some dust off of it.
Trowa’s eyes scanned the group and he frowned. “Have
you seen Jewel and who’s that?” He pointed to the fifth
person, some guy with a mustache that was singing 76 bottles of
beer. Then he did a double take as he realized a lot of things
suddenly… One, the singing guy was a drunk Quatre. Two,
Relena and Dorothy were wearing saloon girl outfits. Three, Heero
was trying to cover Relena up and she was glaring at him.
“Heero, stop it!”
“Mission Not Accepted!” He nearly yelled and continued
trying to block her from others’ sights. Dorothy grinned,
then kneeled beside Quatre.
“Yoo-hoo! Quatre, stand up and stop singing!”
“Not Quatre! I’m Snake-Eyes!” He started laughing
and Dorothy groaned as she helped him to his feet.
“What happened to him and why are you dressed like
that?” Wufei was keeping strangely quiet as Trowa asked all
the questions.
“Guess.” She sighed and motioned for him to take
Quatre’s other arm and help her support him. “These are
our roles here… Like you’re a deputy… And he drank
too much.”
“Wait… Snake-Eyes? That’s what that woman was
yelling about… And Lightning Hilde.” He looked at Hilde
who shrugged with a grin.
“Seems we’ve got reputations!”
“Wufei, cou-.” Trowa stopped and looked around,
“Where’d he go?” Relena pointed over to where some
cowboys were being tossed around like rag dolls and he could see
Wufei fighting them while yelling.
“JUSTICE SHALL BE SERVED!”
“Oh boy…”
Relena started dancing around them all, “So, let’s find
the others and then wait till we jump again! Heero, do you have
that pendant?”
Heero pulled the necklace out from under his shirt and nodded,
glaring at Relena. “First you get some clothes.”
“Jealous, Heero?” She batted her eyelashes at him,
smiling. “You shouldn’t be! After all it’s not
like we’re married or even dating!”
“WILL YOU PUT CLOTHES ON IF I MARRY YOU!?” Heero yelled
and Relena’s jaw dropped open… As did the others.
“Duo is going to be so upset he missed this.” Hilde
whispered.
