Yes, it's another Wufei & Sally fic. (Nobody writes about this couple but me. @_@ An odd bird I am.) It's a silly song fic. I think I write them because they can be fluffy. I even considered using "You were always on my mind" , but the song I used had the funnier chorus.
"I swear I do not understand women," said Wufei.
"Why's that, Uuu-hey?"
Knots of irritation popped on both his temples. "Duo, if you continue, I shall call you Dodo."
"Ok, Ok. Wuuuuufeeeeei. What's up with you and Sally now?"
"Just look at this!" Wufei handed him a note.
Duo started to read the letter out loud:
"Dearest Wufei:
I am very upset that you blamed me for the missing letter. You went on and on about how it was my cleaning the place made it disappear, then when it was found underneath one of your books, you mumbled an apology. I'm afraid that a more traditional woman would suit you better. I will be staying at Lady Ann's house in case I have left anything behind.
REAL MEN KNOW HOW TO APOLOGIZE.
Sincerely, Sally."
Duo laughed out loud. "Ha ha ha ha ha. You deserve this, Wu-kun."
Wufei promptly smacked him on the back of the head. "Kisama, I'm asking for your help, not your derision! Give me a hand."
"Well, do you think you've done anything wrong?"
"No!"
"Well, feel good about sticking to your principles and sleeping alone then."
"I swear I'm this close to strangling you with that braid of yours."
Duo sighed. Wuhoo's being awfully dense. "I don't think that's the only reason she left the house. You've probably done this several times without realizing how mad you made her. The question is does she have a point?" he said carefully enunciating every word of the last sentence.
Wufei groaned. "I never saw my father say sorry to my mother and she understood."
"Sally's a different type of gal." Then Duo's expression became more serious, "And from what you told me about Meiran, she didn't take any crap either. Sure it drives you crazy, but if they weren't like that, you wouldn't listen to a word they said. She wants your respect. Respect and love can't be separated."
"So, she thinks that by not apologizing, I don't care?"
"Damn straight. A woman has her pride."
"You remind me of Trowa when you say stuff like that."
"About being nice to women? Yeah, that's one chivalrous dude."
"Well, what do I do now?"
"You should do the whole thing. Flowers, poetry... "
"I don't know. What do you do when you have to say sorry to Heero and don't mention anything hentai!"
"Ah, shucks."
"Fine, I'll ask someone else!"
"No, wait. You've got to be sincere in your apology and you have to make a real effort not to do the same thing over again. Also, it helps to make a gesture that shows how sorry you are."
"What kind of gesture?"
Duo thought for a while, then smiled.
"If this doesn't work, I will use your bones to sharpen my sword," snapped Wufei.
"It'll work. I've got the karaoke machine all set up."
"I feel such humiliation."
"Yo, Sally," yelled Duo.
Sally poked her head out of Lady Ann's house's second story window.
"What is this, Duo? Wufei?"
"Wufei wants to say sorry with a song."
"What?"
"This song is 'You Should Be Mine' by Jeffrey Osborne,'" announced Wufei.
Then he launched into song, his voice delightfully clear, strong and on-key.
"You should be mine,
anything you want...
I want to fortify my love... "
Sally listened attentively, but the chorus was what made her put her hands over her face to keep herself from giggling.
"You should be mine,
Can you wu, wu, wu?
Can you wu, wu, wu?
Can you wu, wu, wu?"
Mariemeia poked her head in wonder and said, "Who's that singing?"
Lady Ann stepped out the door and said, "Wufei can sing?"
The neighbors came out to listen to the madman. After he finished singing, the neighbors began spontaneously clapping. Sally was smiling down at him. Duo was on the ground, laughing at Wufei's singing of the chorus. The neighbors then proceeded to yell, "Encore, Encore!" However, Wufei had gone in to talk to Sally. Duo then stepped up to the plate and began belting out "Sexual Healing" while shimming and shaking thus provoking the entire neighborhood to suddenly throw itself a block party.
Heero drove by to pick up Duo, then proceeded to snatch the microphone from Duo's hand and drag him away by his braid. "The only one you sing, shimmy and shake for is me!" Several of the neighbors booed, but shut up when he glared at them and announced, "Any more boos and I'll sing!"
Everyone was quiet until they left, then erupted once more into partying.
The End
