Tail Daters:

 

~  denotes person’s thoughts

[] denotes camera movements.

 

This was based on the MTV show called ‘Tail Daters.’ (No longer in progress) Where two couples are sent out on a blind date armed with instant message 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.

 

EXTREME GAMES:

 

Duo tucks a stray strand of hair behind his ear and shifts from one foot to the other. Where to begin...

 

“So...er...what do you want to do first?” His natural inclination is to take his date to someplace wild, but he isn’t too sure about this boy. Hot as he is, Duo is not about to take any chances.

 

Heero shrugs, idly wondering what the hell to do with the flowers now. He notices people beginning to stare at them and he roughly grabs Duo arm, pulling him into the waiting limousine.

 

“Whoa! He doesn’t have to pull him that hard,” Hilde complains with a frown. “What is he? Some kind of bully?”

 

Trowa looks passive. “Heero is not a people person.”

 

Wufei agrees with a nod, while Quatre reaches for the Sidekick again.

 

::Duo’s Sidekick:: TAKE HIM TO THAT EXTREME PLACE YOU LIKE GOING TO.

 

“If that doesn’t get Heero loosened up a bit, I don’t know what will,” Quatre muses out loud.

 

Duo nods at message and leans back in seat, eyeing Heero warily. “Uh...I think we should go check out this really cool extreme arena over on the West Side. They have some pretty cool games we could play and good food too. Wanna check it out?”

 

Heero looks skeptical but finally concedes with a curt nod, as he gets a nagging feeling that he is going to get beeped if he doesn’t say ‘yes’. “Sounds good to me.”

 

Duo gives a small sigh of relief and smiles warmly at Heero. “You know...it could be really fun if you give it a try...you don’t have to look like I’m about to take you to the slaughter house.”

 

This sends the four in the trailer laughing with mirth. Hilde recovers first. “Ah, man...just like D-chan to try to break the ice.”

 

“Make that a glacier,” Quatre says with a muffled chuckle, but ends up laughing again at the inside joke. Wufei doesn’t get it.

 

[Camera zooms in to large circular shaped building with the words ‘Xtreme Sports’ written in red by the side. Both boys step out of limo and Duo leads them through large glass doors. Close up of cool-looking gear for skateboarders, snowboarders, bikers, rock climbers and all other sorts of extreme sports are shown as they walk down long hallway. Duo is, obviously, well known for several guys and girls wave and call out his name.]

 

“He is quite outgoing, isn’t he?” Wufei remarks with a wry grin.

 

“Oh, yeah. We usually hang out here every once in a while,” Hilde says with a winning smile on. “Although I kill him at Motorcross.”

 

“Don’t tell me you do these kinds of things now, Quatre?” Trowa asks with a raised brow.

 

The blonde shakes his head, looking sheepish. “Oh, no. I just like watching him.”

 

[Camera zooms in on Duo and Heero now being outfitted with rock-climbing gear. There is a large, towering column of the gray ‘mountain’ that they have to climb. Duo looks excited and ready to roll, while Heero looks as if he is about ready to call it quits for the night.]

 

Hilde suddenly gets an idea.

 

::Duo’s Sidekick:: CHALLENGE HIM TO A RACE! WHOEVER LOSES GETS TO GIVE THE OTHER A KISS...ON THE LIPS!

 

Duo turns crimson at the suggestion as Heero eyes him. “What is it?”

 

Duo shakes his head and reluctantly tells him the message. Something unreadable flashes behind Heero’s eyes before it regains its non-committal look. He adjusts his harness and shrugs lightly. “Are you ready?”

 

Duo swallows tightly and nods. He is not about to lose this race. The thought of kissing Heero at this time is very tempting, but he is sure that it isn’t going to be well received. The man in charge soon blows a whistle and the race is on!

 

Hilde and Quatre are practically on their feet cheering Duo on, while Trowa and Wufei smirk knowing full well that their boy is definitely going to win.

 

Meanwhile, Duo and Heero’s race is beginning to gain quite an audience, as the two boys climb the rather difficult wall with an agility that comes from, seemingly, years of practice. Duo is pretty fast, but compared to how quick Heero is going, it looks like he is crawling. The dark-haired boy is picking the right crevices for his hands and with an almost feline grace he moves up the wall with an incredible speed that leaves Duo, Hilde, Quatre and the rest of the spectators, gaping in surprise.

 

“He…he…”

 

“He’s not human,” Quatre finishes with a small gasp.

 

Trowa gives a small smirk. “I told you so. So, what was the deal again? Does Heero have to do anything?”

 

Hilde shakes her head. “Nah…Duo has to be the one to kiss Heero now and I know he is not looking forward to it. Damn it! I thought for sure Duo was going to win!”

 

[Camera zooms in to Heero and Duo being lowered back to the ground to a round of applause from the audience. Duo is blushing furiously, unable to believe what he is about to do. As their harnesses are being removed, he lifts his gaze to smile, rather shyly, at the Japanese boy.]

 

“Nice going, Heero. You beat me fair and square.”

 

Heero slips back into his shirt (as they had removed it, so as not to mess it up) and nods curtly. “You weren’t so bad yourself.”

 

::Heero’s Sidekick:: GODDAMNIT! GET YOUR KISS!! (yeah, you guessed it…Wufei again.)

 

Heero finds himself blushing lightly and he tucks the Sidekick back into the pocket of his slacks. “I believe you owe me something,” he finally manages to say.

 

Hilde sputters indignantly. “What the hell?? Is that the way he has to ask for it? Duo is not some servant!!”

 

“Looks like you are not over him yet, Hilde,” Trowa comments dryly.

 

“We are just best friends!” comes the vehement denial. “And I want to see him happy. Is that so wrong?”

 

“Oh, look! I think Duo is about to kiss Heero now!” Quatre cries out in excitement.

 

Duo bites his lower lip and tries to laugh off tension. “Hope you don’t mind…” Curse you, Hil!

 

And before Heero can blink, Duo leans forward and presses his lips against the slightly parted ones before him, trying hard to ignore the small jolt of electricity that flares down his spine at the intimate act. He pulls back with loud smack, to loud catcalls and clapping from the smiling crowd and with a small bow, he tugs lightly on Heero’s arm, leading him out of the room and towards the bar and grill area.

 

The four in the trailer, clap and laugh as well, as they all reach for their Sidekicks.

 

::Duo’s Sidekick:: NICE GOING, ROMEO. I THINK HE IS STUMPED AND YOU REALLY SHOULD STOP BLUSHING NOW. LOL.

 

::Heero’s Sidekick:: FIRST TIME I HAVE EVER SEEN YOU STUNNED, HEERO!

 

“He must be a pretty good kisser,” Wufei says with a light smirk.

 

Hilde smirks right back. “The best!”

 

[Both boys are now seated in cozy area in a rather crowded bar and they are both looking through the menu. A rather uneasy silence has fallen as they try stealing shy glances at each other.]

 

Quatre chuckles and sends another message.

 

::Duo’s Sidekick:: GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER, DUO!

 

Duo nods and places his menu down. The waiter comes by and he gives his order, listening as Heero gives his as well. He takes a deep breath and clears throat.

 

Get to know you better, eh? I wonder what makes Heero Yuy tick…

 

“So…what kinds of things do you like to do, Heero? From what I have seen, you are quite the athlete.”

 

“Hmmm…is it just me, or is Duo acting kinda stiff?” Hilde blinks slowly.

 

Quatre makes a face. “Heero is not exactly giving him any chance.”

 

::Heero’s Sidekick:: WHAT’S THE MATTER, HEERO? DO YOU LIKE HIM OR NOT? PICK UP FORK FOR YES, KNIFE FOR NO. (from Trowa)

 

Duo watches Heero carefully, wondering what the message had said. He blinks in surprise as he notices the Japanese boy pick up a fork and laughing lightly, he asks teasingly. “You that hungry?”

 

As if on cue, the waiter comes up with a plate laden with fries and steak. Duo darts out tongue to lick lips, unaware of the molten look that is thrown his way from Heero.

 

Unfortunately…four other people do.

 

“WHOA!! Did you see that, Trowa?!” Wufei howls as he jumps up from his seat.

 

The other boy nods in quiet disbelief as Hilde and Quatre howl in delight.

 

“Oh, ho, ho!! Duo has woven his magic spell again!! Let him crawl at your feet, D-chan! Haha!!”

 

::Duo’s Sidekick:: HE SOOOO WANTS YOU, ROMEO! TAKE HIM TO THE CLUB AND SHOW HIM YOUR STUFF!!

 

Duo smirks and nods slowly, before leaning forward to pin sultry violet depths on Heero’s bemused countenance, and in a voice that is nothing short of sexy, Duo cajoles him softly.

 

“Let’s get out of here, Heero. I feel like working up a sweat.”
