Chapter 12

(Just another day)

 

 

(Ren and Stimpy are walking down a street. A man is shot from above)

 

Stimpy: (Points up) Hey look Ren, Snipes!

 

(Camera moves behind them, looking up at hundreds of snipers on building tops, shooting everything in sight. Ten minutes of this go by. Stuff occasionally runs by or explodes. Some snipers fall down. Then the view goes to the city exploding. Then it zooms out of an artist's eye)

 

Artist: (Painting picture of exploding city with a slow slapping motion, as if he were on drugs) Woah...strange dreams...

 

(Artist is sniped. The end sign appears. Ryo approaches Heero and Trowa on the couch)

 

Ryo: What are you guys watching?

 

Trowa: It's called The Snipe Show. That was the first episode. It's pretty good.

 

Ryo: I'll have to see it next time. How’s your leg, Heero?

 

Heero: It's healing. It should be back to normal in another week. Speaking of that night, did you remember to install the lock on Dr. J's door, Trowa?

 

Trowa: Yes, he should be out of our way from now on.

 

Ryo: Well, I’ve been on break long enough. I’d better get back on watch duty.

 

(Ryo walks into cockpit)

 

Ryo: (Over the intercom) Guys?

 

Heero: What?

 

Ryo: Could you come in here?

 

(They go to the cockpit. They see Dr. J through the windshield, floating by, with a happy grin, waving (with no space suit on). Heero fires his pistol at him)

 

Ryo: Heero, are you nuts?!

 

(Ryo grabs the gun)

 

Ryo: Thank God this glass is bullet proof. Heero, what are you thinking?!

 

Heero: Sorry. He’s beginning to get to me. How did he get out anyway? And how is he breathing?

 

Ryo: I'll drag him in and ask him.

 

(Grappling arm appears from side of windshield and grabs Dr. J like a prize grabber. Gang goes to airlock and talks to him)

 

Heero: What the hell are you doing out of your room?!

 

Dr. J: Well, I just invented this device that allows me to withstand the pressures of outer space, so I decided to test it.

 

Heero: You're supposed to be working on our Gundams!!!

 

Trowa: How did you even get out? I locked the door.

 

Dr. J: Really? I didn't even notice!

 

Heero: Get back to work before I forget you have a use!

 

Dr. J: Oh, very well...

 

(Heero limps back to the T.V with Trowa)

 

Heero: We're going to need a better lock.

 

Trowa: I just hope we find one before he drives you insane.

 

Heero: We all hope that, Trowa.
