Tail Daters:

~  denotes person’s thoughts

[] camera movements.

This is based on the MTV show called ‘Tail Daters.’ (No longer in progress) Where two couples are sent out on a blind date armed with T-Mobile Sidekicks. In a trailer, which follows the couple wherever they go, are two friends representing each person. They get to watch the events of the date as they unfold and try to give advice to their respective friend on how to make the date much more interesting. At the end of the night, the couple has the option of either calling their friends to rescue them from their boring partner or to party in a waiting limousine and of course get to give their verdicts on whether or not they would like to meet the other person again for a second date.

Consider this ‘Blind Date’ with spectators.

THE COUPLE (and their little spies):

Heero Yuy. 18 years old. Former Gundam Pilot and now personal bodyguard to a certain female known as Relena Peacecraft....at least we thought he was before he hightailed it.

[Zoom in to scowling faced boy with chocolate colored unruly locks, startling cobalt blue eyes, dressed in a nice dark blue shirt and black slacks. He is standing in front of a building that looks eerily like a Spanish villa. Location...unknown. Time...roughly six in the evening.]

Representing Heero’s friends are:

Trowa Barton...the Silent One

[Zoom in to brown-haired boy with beautiful green eyes, dressed in a casual green turtleneck and light brown slacks. He waves lightly and manages a small smile.]

And Wufei Chang...the...uh...other friend...

[Zoom in to stoic-faced Chinese boy with slicked black hair done in a small ponytail with piercing black eyes. He is dressed in a simple white shirt and matching pants. He, too, manages a small wave.]

[They are both ushered into the waiting trailer where they are seated on black chairs before a small TV screen.]

“I wonder who his date is going to be,” Trowa muses out loud as he eyes the small but rather cramped surroundings.

Wufei snorts and shakes his head. “Hopefully, he doesn’t carry out his threat to kill us once this is over. How did you manage to convince him to do this anyway?”

“I didn’t do anything. I thought you were the one who talked him into it.”

Both boys exchange bewildered glances before focusing their attention on the screen again.

Duo Maxwell. 18 years old. Former Gundam Pilot but now co-owner of successful Salvage business. For those of you who don’t know what that means...Metal Scrap Yard.

[Zoom in to smiling chestnut-colored braided boy with shocking amethyst eyes. He is dressed in a black silk shirt and matching black pants and is carrying a bouquet of flowers.]

“Hey, people! I am ready to meet my date extraordinaire for the night. They told me I would be getting a guy this time, so I hope he likes these.” Duo looks sheepish as he waves the flowers in his hand a bit.

Representing Duo are:

Quatre Winner...the tea-induced Blonde friend.

[Zoom in to grinning boy with golden locks and beautiful aquamarine eyes. He is dressed in a simple dark green shirt and khaki pants. He waves cheerfully, pulling on the arm of a girl with short black hair.]

And we have Hilde Schbeiker....the tomboy friend.

[Zoom in to smiling girl, who is dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. She waves and tugs on Quatre’s arm in excitement as they walk into the waiting trailer. Trowa and Wufei stand up to acknowledge their presence and for a few minutes, introductions and laughter rings out as each waits in anticipation for their respective friends to come on screen.]

“Gosh, I wonder who Duo’s date is,” Hilde remarks with a wry grin. “The last person he had a date with...”

“Couldn’t keep up with him,” Quatre finishes with a small grin of his own. “What’s your friend like?”

Trowa and Wufei shift uncomfortably, before the Chinese boy finally replies. “You will see when he comes on.” Oh, God...Heero is so going to kill us!

[Duo comes on screen as Hilde and Quatre clap and scream out his name, while Trowa and Wufei share a small smile. One thing they do agree on, this Duo is pretty cute.]

“Looking good, Duo!!” Hilde screams out as she reaches for her Sidekick to send a message to him.

::Sidekick rings:: Duo reaches for it in his pocket and flips it open, a wry grin coming to features as he reads the message: YOU ARE SOME HOT STUFF, ROMEO!

He chuckles and regains his composure, taking a deep breath as he makes the turn around the corner and comes face to face with the waiting figure.

“Whoa! Is that Heero?!” Hilde exclaims. “He is fiiine!”

Quatre nods enthusiastically as Trowa snickers lightly. “Yeah, that’s Heero alright. Mr. Handsome with zero personality.”

“Eh?! We’ve got to warn Duo then. You do it, Quatre.”

Duo bites his lower lip as he tries to control his quickened heartbeat. He smiles softly and walks closer to his obvious date. “Hey there! You must be Heero Yuy, right?”

Heero tries hard not to stare too much at the beautiful creature that has walked up to him and he nods lightly. “Hai. I am Heero. And you must be Duo...Maxwell.”

God, he has a dreamy voice, Duo thinks as he shoves the flowers towards Heero. And those eyes...

Heero stares at the flowers as if being offered a time bomb. He opens and shuts his mouth for several seconds unaware of the peals of laughter this act has sent his companions into back in the trailer.

::Duo’s Sidekick:: BE CAREFUL, ROMEO. WORD IS...HE IS A STUMP

::Heero’s Sidekick:: TAKE THE DAMN FLOWERS AND SAY THANK YOU!! (sent by Wufei by the way)

Both boys tuck the Sidekicks back into their pants and try not to look too sheepish. Heero stiffly accepts the flowers and manages to blurt out a small ‘Thank you’, while Duo nods and grins. “No problem.”

Oh man....now they tell me that I am stuck with Mr. Stiff here. What the hell am I going to do? Duo thinks in slight panic.

“Geez...they are just standing there like morons,” Wufei mutters with a small huff.

“I want some action!” Hilde complains.

Trowa rolls his eyes. “They just met, Hilde. Give them some time to relax or something.”

“Duo is not the kind of guy that likes to stay still,” Quatre says even as his eyes are still glued to the screen. “He likes people that are active like he is.”

“Well, he is going to have a whale of a time tonight. I can assure you of that,” Wufei says with a light laugh. “Heero is not that kind of a guy.”

Hilde and Quatre exchange worried glances as one simultaneous thought goes through  their minds.

This is going to be a date from hell.
