The Fourth of July


JC: Hi! Happy Fourth of July minna-san!
Solo: We hope you went crazy with… oh wait… … nevermind.
JC: I miss burning those roman candles and other various cheap fireworks™.
Solo: JC doesn’t own Gundam Wing or the song ‘Fourth of July’. They are all copyright of their respected companies and other various people. JC DOES NOT OWN A THING!
JC: I think that’s enough for now. (sweatdrops)


Trembling
Starry-eyed
As you put your hand in mine…

<Image shot of hands being held, a door opens before and two unknown people step into a ballroom, which is decorated in FoJ decorations>

It was twilight
On the Fourth of July
Sparkling colors were
Strewn across the sky.

<As fireworks exploded in brilliant rainbows across the dark, glittering night sky, Heero pulled Duo closer to him as they moved amongst the thongs of people on the dance floor. The Japanese boy pulls the braided American closer to him as the make their way over to a less crowded spot; out on the balcony>

And we sat close enough
That we just barley touched
While roman candles
Went soaring above us and baby

<The balcony’s rails had various flower vines growing and twisting around the stone urns and pillars. The summer air was warm and comforting, but tainted with the smoke from the crackling fireworks in the sky>

Then you put your hand in mine
And we wandered away
I was trembling inside

<Heero leans over to Duo and brushes his lips through the other boy’s bangs. Duo leans forward, burying his face in Heero’s chest>

But I wanted to stay
Pressed against you there and leave the world behind

<Image shot of the two from faraway, as feathers fly by to signal a scene change>

On that Fourth of July

So starry-eyed
On the flowery hillside
Breathless and fervid
Amid the dandelions

<As the night of brilliant fireworks flashes light into the garden in another city, gentle winds blow over this seemingly quiet estate, if it weren’t for the flying of clothes and rose petals that came from the rather large flower garden in the back>

As it swept over me
Like the wind through the trees
I felt you sigh with a
Sweet intensity and baby…

<Image shot of Trowa and Quatre, covered in only a thin blue blanket, making out like there was no tomorrow in the middle of the field of poppies>

Then you put your hand in mine
And we floated away

<Relena, still trying to break Heero and Duo up, was spying on them in a seemingly innocent hot air balloon to spy on spandex boys™. Unfortunately for her, Dorothy was a crack shot with exploding whistling rockets™, which pierced the balloon and sent Relena flying>

Delicately lay entwined
In an intimate daze

<Of course, Heero and Duo were locked in a deep, passionate, saliva-swapping-kiss™, that they did not notice the burning balloon with the screaming crazy blonde stalker girl in it fly past them and crash into the duck pond>

A crescent moon began to shine
And I wanted to stay
Tangled up with you among the fireflies
On that Fourth of July

Thunder clouds
Hung around
So threateningly

<The crash of Relena’s balloon in the duck pond sent a massive wave of water hurtling at the party-goers>

Ominously hovering
And the sky
Opened wide
Showering

<The look of panic on peoples’ faces spreads as the wave converges upon them before crashing and washing them away>

Then you put your hand in mine
And we ran from the rain

<Heero grabs Duo and pulls him away from the churning water that swirled black, mixed with the cologne, eyeliner, and make up of the invited guest. With one jump, both of them are on the roof, their figures silhouetted against the shining stars>

Tentatively kissed goodnight
And went our separate ways
And I’ve never truly felt the way that I
Felt the Fourth of July

<Heero silently mouths ‘I love you Duo’ before the braided boy could succumb to slumber>

Truly I have never felt the same inside
Like that Fourth of July
Truly I could never feel the same as I
Felt that Fourth of July

<Others… like Trowa and Quatre… have other ways of… making a big ‘Censored’ sign that falls in front of everyone’s view>


JC: Well… that’s a Fourth of July to me. Relena bashing, fireworks, and evil Dorothy with those whistling rocket things.
Solo: If you ask me, that’s a SCARY thing.
Zero System Quatre: WAHAHAHAHAHA! You thought you could obscure me from the public! Well, I AM FREE! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Send all your feedback to kenj1_sat0@yahoo.com!
JC: Let’s bag him in the mini-van again since the Explorer didn’t hold him.
Zero System Quatre: I SHALL SEE TO IT THAT YOU NEVER FORGET THIS DAY! WHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
