Coming Out

The doors to Treize's massive mansion are flung open. On the left side, pausing dramatically, stands Treize himself, resplendent in a crisp, pure white uniform, including white leather boots. On the right side stands Zechs Merquise, identically attired, his platinum hair shining almost as much as the polished gold buttons and fringe on his uniform. The reflection of the light off the two men is almost blinding.

Music begins to play.

On the lawn stand Lady Une and Noin, utterly speechless because of the beauty of the men before them. Zechs and Treize glance at the women, then at each other, and smile serenely. Holding hands, they glide down the steps in unison. Treize begins to sing, staring at Une as he does.

-You don't own me-
-I'm not just one of your many toys-
-You don't own me-
He wags his finger teasingly at her as he delivers the last line.
-Don't say I can't go with other boys-

Zechs moves fluidly alongside Treize, both shifting their hips from side to side in time to the music. He nods as Treize finishes. Locking eyes with Noin, he sings the next verse.

-And don't tell me what to do-
-And don't tell me what to say-
-And when I go out with you-
-Don't put me on display-

Zechs tosses his hair back. Both women blush and look flustered. Treize and Zechs share a small kiss before singing the next verse together.

-You don't own me-
-Don't try to change me in anyway-
-You don't own me-
-Don't tie me down 'cause I'll never stay-

Dancing together, they spin effortlessly in each others' arms. Noin and Une are still incapable of speech, watching the men move to the music. The music grows in intensity as the men stop right in front of the two women. There is no anger in their gazes, just a statement of what is and what will be. Zechs drapes himself over Treize's shoulder.

Treize sings to Une:
-I don't tell you what to say-
Zechs sings to Noin:
-I don't tell you what to do-
They shift slightly, join hands and smile beatifically at the women.
-So just let me be myself-
-That's all I ask of you-

More voices join in the last two lines. The women look up, startled to see Heero, Duo, Trowa, Quatre and Wufei coming out of the house, also dressed in their traditional garb. However, each pilot's clothing-- spandex, priest outfit, turtleneck, shirt and vest -- is white. Wufei is in his traditional all white as well. All 5 walk down the steps to join Zechs and Treize for the final verse. Une and Noin hear slight gasps behind them, and turn to see Relena, Hilde, Catherine, Sally and all 29 Winner women standing there, looking shocked.

Heero sings first, holding Duo's hand:
-I'm young and I love to be young-
Duo sings the next line, beaming up into Heero's eyes:
-I'm free and I love to be free-
Trowa is next, blushing as he looks at Quatre:
-To live my life the way I want-
Quatre, hand firmly planted on Trowa's ass, joins in:
-To say and do whatever I please-

Wufei moves around to give Treize and Zechs both a light smack on their respective derrieres as he sings:
-I'm young and I love to be young-
All of them join in, hands moving expressively, bodies swaying in unison as they feel their power and freedom and rejoice in it. They are all smiling radiantly.
-I'm free and I love to be free-
-To live my live the way I want-
-To say and do whatever I please-

-You don't own me-
-You don't own me-
-You don't own me-
-Forever young and free-
-You don't own me-
-You don't own me-

The men turn, serene smiles on their faces as they ascend the steps repeating the last lines over and over. The door shuts slowly as the volume gradually drifts away to nothing. The women stare at the house, still speechless with shock. Fade to black.
