Broken Mirrors -- I'll Be Mellow When I'm Dead
Duo Maxwell
By Shimegami-chan
Warnings: ...a little OOC...not much...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Part of a series of alternative 'image song,' vidfics using
songs by Al Yankovic. More to come, r&r please so I know what you guys want
out of these!
[Opens with Duo window shopping, looking at clothing. He sighs in disgust and
bends down to pick up some snow, then makes it into a snowball and lobs it at
the store window. Several salesladies run out screaming and he takes off down
the street.]
I don't care about your karma.
I don't care about what's hip.
No space cadet's gonna tell me what to do.
[Duo looking bored walking down the hallways of what might be a spaceship. He
peeks curiously into a closed door that says 'no admittance,' and is
immediately caught by an older man in a military uniform. Duo looks at the rank
on the soldier's sleeve and laughs heartily while the man continues to yell at
him. Calmly Duo turns and walks away, leaving the ranting man screaming in
confusion. The soldier grabs Duo by the shoulder and finds Duo's pistol pointed
at him face. Duo smiles cheerfully and walks away without a glance back. The
soldier stares after him in shock.]
I won't swim in your Jacuzzi.
[Duo rigs a pain can above a doorway and is interrupted by Wufei, who ands up
getting the red paint all over his head. Duo laughs and begins to apologize,
but Wufei tackles him off the chair he's standing on.]
You can't make me settle down.
I'd rather kick
[Duo lands on his back on the ground with Wufei snarling on top of him, and
barely dodges the Chinese boy's punch]
and jump
[Wufei swears and moves to swing again]
and bite
[Duo bites Wufei's arm. 'Fei is not pleased.]
and scratch,
[Duo throws Wufei off of him and scrambles away, but Wufei grabs him by the
braid. Duo howls in pain.]
And scream until I'm blue.
[Heero appears in the doorway, surveying the scene. Duo glomps the Japanese boy
and points, babbling, at the furious Wufei. Wufei lets go of the braid. Heero
looks confused.]
I may as well be hyper,
As long as I'm still around.
[Duo gleefully takes off and disappears down the hall, leaving the mess and the
other two screaming pilots.]
'Cause I'll have lots of time to be laid back,
When I'm six feet under ground.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
[Cut to Duo in the cockpit of Deathscythe, sweating heavily.]
When are
you
Cosmic cowboys
Gonna get it through your head.
[He slams down on one of the controls and sighs in relief as something outside
explodes.]
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
[Duo rolls his eyes and slumps back in his seat, running his fingers through
his bangs.]
I can't stand the smell of incense.
I don't really like to jog.
I've got Tomokazu CDs in my car. (ooh)
I hate anything organic.
Even health food makes me sick.
You won't catch me sipping Perrier
Down in some sushi bar.
I tell you, now's the time to go for
All the gusto you can grab.
You'll have plenty of time to be low-key
When you're laid out on the slab.
[Duo, fuming and yanking on his braid, yelling. There is no one else in the
room and he tilts his face up to the ceiling because he can't roll his eyes any
higher.]
I don't want no part of that vegetarian scene.
I won't buy me a pair of designer jeans.
No redwood hot tub to my name.
I got all that I want,
And if it's all the same to you,
I don't need a course in self-awareness
To find out who I am.
And I'd rather have a
Big Mac or a Jumbo Jack
Than all the bean sprouts in Japan!
[Duo runs out of the room and down the hall, passing Trowa and Quatre. He gives
both a slap on the back and a grinning wave before continuing on his way. Both
pilots smile and shrug.]
So don't ask me what I'm into.
I don't need to prove I'm cool.
[Cut to Duo on the same street, window shopping again.]
I'll break your arm,
If you ask me what's my sign.
[He hefts a snowball and grins evilly, then throws it and takes off.]
I won't tell you where my head's at.
I don't need to see no shrink.
[Cut to Duo strolling down the halls of the ship again. The soldier he
encountered earlier appears, looking really pissed. Duo hold his hands out pleadingly.]
Psychosis may be in this year,
But I'm really not that kind,
[Duo turns of run but encounters Wufei coming up behind him, his face still red
with paint. Wufei is holding his katana threateningly. Duo looks panicked, but
his every escape route is cut off: by Heero, Wufei, the soldier, the salesladies
from the shop on Earth, and a girl dressed in black and holding a
wicked-looking scythe. She has violet eyes and long chestnut-brown hair in a
braid.]
And I'm in no hurry to be casual.
In fact I think I'll wait
[Duo closes his eyes and grins, rubbing his nails against the front of his
shirt. Heero looks confused and then his eyes grow wide with recognition. Duo
produces a light-emitting device from the front of his shirt and holds it high,
blinding everyone, then slips away from the group and down the hall.]
Until I'm pushing up the daisies.
(Like, wow, man, can you relate?)
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
[Duo arrives at the hangar to find Heero leaning against Deathscythe Hell. He
quirks an eyebrow. Heero rolls his eyes. With a grin, climbs into the Gundam.]
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
[Heero calls out something and Duo pokes his head out to reply.]
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
I'll be mellow when I'm dead,
[Duo flashes the 'victory,' sigh and disappears back inside.]
I'll be mellow when I'm dead.
~OWARI!

Shi-chan: I had a hard time picking a song for Duo's. I hope this came out
okay!
Wufei: *cleaning red paint off his clothes* Onna...
