"Baby Series 2"Written By: Karina Rating: PG Spoilers: None Disclaimer: I don’t own Gundam Wing or the Characters from the series but the baby is mine. Many thanks to Dulin for her work as beta. Pairing: Dorothy Notes: Challenge 33. Baby Series 2 #60. Takes place a few minutes after Everyone Has A Motive.
Dorothy What an absolute delight it was to shock so many without any real effort on her part. Who would have guessed so many would react so delightfully to her appearance. Every eye had been on her as she swept through the door and her very presence here had planted the seeds of entertainment she would reap over the coming weeks. //What a wonderful beginning and because that ninny I replaced was one of the more serious contenders I am to be seated only three places from Mr. Milliardo. I must thank my sponsor for his forward thinking. It is an advantage I will not allow to slip.// She could feel Relena’s eyes on her and suppressed the urge to snigger. Her dear friend Miss Relena must be absolutely thrilled with the prospect of having her for a sister in law. Certainly more thrilled by the prospect than she would have been about the arrival of the Flower of St Gabriel’s. //Such a shallow piece of work that one is. I’m sure Mr. Milliardo must be feeling the need to engage in a long soak in a scalding hot bath to rid himself of the drool he has been subjected to already … and the night is far from over.// She murmured a polite response to the greeting of her dinner partner as her escort brought her to their place at table and took the opportunity whilst everyone found their places to survey her opposition. Five of those assembled to pay court to the king she dismissed out of hand as inconsequential cannon fodder. She would remove them from the field of contention in days to come but there were a few who might cause a problem. Not all of them were vapid air-headed ninnies better suited to being the housewife of a fisherman who could blessedly escape their presence by heading out to sea for days on end. //Hmm. You have certainly matured to be more than striking, Mr. Milliardo. I was afraid when you disappeared with Noin you might have cut your hair. The thought of Milliardo Peacecraft without long hair is unthinkable.// Chang standing near the King drew her eye and she admired the slender compactness of him. Her tastes ran to larger, more solid men but she admitted he was striking and it was a pleasure to see him in something more formal. The mix of cultures in the cut of his clothing suited his exotic looks and she admitted there was an attraction there. Those dark onyx eyes could captivate you and one smouldering glance could plant the seeds for a wild rumble in a grassy field if you were fortunate. Of course if you were not fortunate it could mean a dark alley and a knife in the vitals. Such was life when you associated with Gundam Pilots. They either loved you, ignored you or smiled as they disposed of you. They really were her kind of people. End |
