This is the story of six somewhat infamous anime characters and one hero that were all forced to move into a small apartment. It doesn't really make much sense, but it's good for a few laughs every now and then. Anyway, it never actually happened... hopefully. If it did, I didn't do it and can't be blamed.
Author's Note: Yugi is my Muse (on loan from Pioneer), so if you have a problem with any of this, take it up with her. (I'd advise against it, though, as she hates critics) However, all positive comments should be directed to me, so I can give them to her personally.
Disclaimer: Nagi, Ryoko & Yugi belong to Pioneer; Cell, Vegeta, Goku & Gohan belong to Akira Toriyama; and Heero belongs to Sunrise. The Real World belongs to MTV and happens to be a great show (all that tension is actually entertaining!). Not that I'm getting paid for this (but I really, really wish I was).
The Anime World 2: 6 Villains + 1 Hero
Day Two: The New Guy
4:45 PM
[Yugi goes to the door.]
Yugi: Who is it?
Voice: Um...is this the apartment where all the bad guys are?
Yugi: Yes. What can we do for you?
Voice: Um...well...I'm the hero Cartoon Network promised to send over.
Yugi: Are you cute?
Voice: Huh? Geez...um...I have a wife and kid. Does that count?
Yugi: Not really, but come in anyway. (opens the door)
[Goku sticks his head in, peering around the apartment.]
Goku: Um...are you SURE this is the right place?
Yugi: Yeah, I'm sure. Why?
Goku: Well...Vegeta's here. He hasn't been a bad guy in ages!
Vegeta: Are you questioning my status as a villain, Kakarot?!
Goku: No, I'm just saying ever since you went and had that baby with Bulma, you-
Ryoko: YOU DID WHAT?!
[Goku winces as Ryoko drags Vegeta off to the bedroom and slams the door behind them.]
Goku: I hope you guys don't mind, but I brought my son with me.
[Gohan walks in, lugging a suitcase with him.]
Gohan: Dad, do you really think this is a good idea? I mean, living with people who might want to kill you in your sleep?
Cell: Watch your mouth, kid! If anybody dies here, they do it with their eyes open! We may be evil, but we're not cowards!
Yugi: Y'know, for someone who's supposed to be a hero, you're kinda cute, Gohan.
Gohan: (blushes) Um...I am?
Yugi: (giggles) You talk just like your father.
[Heero suddenly has the urge to point his gun at Gohan.]
Heero: (thinking) Hey...what's she talking to him for? I thought I was the one she liked! I've killed way more people than he has! I've got better hair, too, and...wait! What am I thinking?!
Nagi: Well, since you guys are here, you might as well watch the rest of Toonami with us. Your show should be on soon.
Gohan & Goku: Our...show?
Nagi: (sighs) Forget I said anything.
[The phone rings, and Cell answers it.]
Cell: You've reached Taco Heaven. Julio speaking. May I take your order?
[Everyone looks at Cell.]
Cell: (innocently) What? Prank calls can be evil.
Nagi: But don't you have to call them for that to work?
[Cell ignores her and listens for a few seconds.]
Cell: Heero, there's someone named Quatre on the phone for you.
Heero: (takes the phone) Yeah?
Quatre: Heero, I was talking to the show's producers, and there's been a mistake. My body count surpassed yours by ten when I wiped out an entire colony. That means I'm supposed to be there instead of you.
Heero: Really? I didn't know that. (hangs up) Idiot.
Yugi: What'd he want?
Heero: Nothing, de--um...Yugi.
Nagi: ...you almost called her 'dear,' didn't you?
Heero: Don't make me get my gun, Nagi.
[Heero quickly steps out of the window and heads back up to the roof, muttering to himself.]
Gohan: What's his problem?
Goku: I don't know, but I think I could learn to like it here. Say, do you guys have anything to eat?
* * * * *
Nagi's Interview
Nagi: I don't know what it is, but people are really starting to act strange. Heero actually seems to like Yugi, and no one's really done anything evil lately... Unless you count that phone thing Cell did, which I don't think was evil, since it was so stupid...
Guy: I detect some resentment. Could you be jealous of the other cast members because you're the loner of the group?
Nagi: Could you still talk as well if I knocked out all your teeth?
Guy: Um...let's get back to that story.
* * * * *
Day Three
1:15 AM
[Vegeta slowly emerges from the bedroom, walking with a limp. The entire right side of his face is bruised badly, and his left arm hangs at an odd angle. He carefully makes his way into the kitchen, searching for some ice. Just as he finds it, someone turns on the light.]
Goku: Oh, it's just you, Vege...ta? What happened to you?!
Vegeta: Your big mouth happened, that's what! Now either get me some towels or get out of here!
[Goku quickly gathers some towels and hands them to Vegeta.]
Goku: I'm really sorry, Vegeta. I didn't know you and Ryoko were...whatever you are.
Vegeta: This is exactly why we didn't want any heroes around! You're too pure and honest! You'd probably tell her about the day I was forced to wear that pink shirt!
Goku: It's...funny that you should mention that, old pal...
Vegeta: (shouting) You didn't!
Goku: (chuckles weakly) Calm down, Vegeta! It's not like I told her about when Gohan beat you up.
Vegeta: And you won't live long enough to tell her!
[Even in his injured state, Vegeta moves fast enough to dive across the table and tackle Goku to the ground. They wrestle until Cell shows up and separates them.]
Cell: Stop that or I'll be forced to kick both your butts!
Vegeta: (screaming) This isn't over, Kakarot! I'll get you! I'll get you!
Cell: (slaps Vegeta) Well, I just got you. Now shut up and go to bed, both of you. I hear some people like to sleep.
[Vegeta retreats to his bedroom, while Goku retires to the couch. Cell shakes his head and goes back to watching a late movie.]
* * * * *
9:48 AM
[Heero wakes up to an unfamiliar pressure on his chest. He slowly opens his eyes to see Yugi sitting on top of him. She's wearing her usual overalls and socks, except her overalls are red this time.]
Yugi: I was wondering if you'd ever wake up. Who's Relena?
Heero: (blinks) Why?
Yugi: You kept saying her name in your sleep. Who is she?
Heero: No one.
[Heero picks up Yugi and places her on the floor, then sits up and swings his feet to the floor.]
Yugi: (frowns) Heero, you're lying. I thought we were friends. Don't you trust me?
[Heero looks at her, but doesn't say anything.]
Yugi: Fine. Be that way! Maybe you never really cared about me at all. (whimpers & begins to cry)
[Normally, Heero might use that as an excuse to reach for his gun. Yet, for some reason, he actually feels... guilty. With a sigh, he picks up Yugi sits her in his lap, doing his best to comfort her.]
Heero: Stop crying, squirt.
[Yugi continues to sob.]
Heero: Okay, I'm sorry! Are you happy now?
Yugi: (sniffles) No. You still don't trust me.
Heero: What if I tell you a secret about me that no one else knows?
Yugi: Well...okay. What is it?
[Heero glances around to make sure no one is listening at the door, then whispers in her ear.]
Heero: I've never kissed a girl before.
Yugi: (eyes widen) Really?
Heero: (nods) Now are you happy?
Yugi: No! You never told me who Relena was!
Heero: She's someone from my past, and I'd rather not talk about her anymore.
Yugi: Okay. Can I ask you something?
Heero: What?
Yugi: (quietly) Do you like me?
Heero: (frowns) In what way?
Yugi: In a friendly way?
Heero: (hesitates) ...I won't point my gun at you anymore.
Yugi: (rolls eyes) Fine. Do you...love me?
Heero: Yugi, I don't think-
[Before he can finish, a strange feeling comes over Heero. He shudders, then blinks several times.]
Yugi: Heero, what's wrong?
Heero: Nothing. I need to take care of something.
Yugi: But you didn't answer!
Heero: Maybe later, squirt.
Yugi: (clamps onto his arm) Don't go, Heero! Please! Stay here with me!
[Heero smiles faintly and pulls his arm away from her, starting for the door. Yugi runs after him and hugs his legs.]
Yugi: Please don't leave me alone, Heero! Please?
[Heero looks down, noticing tears in her eyes for the first time. He picks her up and brushes the tears away.]
Heero: I'm only going to work on my Gundam for a few hours. After that, I'll come back and we can talk. Okay?
[Yugi shakes her head and buries her face in his shirt.]
Yugi: (faintly) No, Heero. Don't leave me...
[Heero gently raises her chin with a finger. He parts her hair and places a kiss on her forehead before lowering her to the ground. Yugi watches sadly as he leaves and closes the door behind him.]
* * * * *
11:54 AM
[Goku, Nagi, Ryoko, Cell, and Vegeta are all watching a movie when they notice what time it is.]
Goku: Hey, shouldn't Yugi be starting lunch right now? I'm starving!
Vegeta: For once, we agree, Kakarot. There's no way I'm eating Cell's cooking again.
Cell: (frowns) I'll have you know that blackened snail stuffers happen to be quite a delicacy on some planets!
Nagi: (mutters) Well, this obviously isn't one of them.
Ryoko: Either that or your cooking just really, really sucks. Has anyone even seen Yugi today?
[No one has, so Goku volunteers to look for her, as he is the hungriest of them all. He soon finds Yugi in Heero's bedroom, standing inside the doorway, just as Heero left her hours before. Her eyes are very red, and there are tear stains all over her face.]
Goku: Yugi, what's wrong?
Yugi: (sniffles) I can't believe...he actually left me...
Goku: (kneels and takes her hand) Who left you, honey?
Yugi: Heero. He just...left me. (begins to cry again)
[Goku picks up Yugi and carries her into the living room, where the others have started to argue over who brings in more ratings. With a frown, Goku kicks the TV, which falls to the floor and breaks in half. Everyone instantly stops and looks at him.]
Goku: I can't believe you people! You're in here arguing, while this poor little girl is crying her eyes out! You should all be ashamed of yourselves! You may be bad guys, but that's no excuse for being heartless!
Nagi: Actually, it is.
Goku: SHUT UP! Can't you see this child needs us?! (kisses Yugi's head) Don't worry, sweetie. Uncle Goku will make it all better.
Everyone Else: Uncle Goku...?
Goku: I told you to SHUT UP! I think you should all apologize to my niece for not caring about her needs. Right now!
Ryoko: But we didn't-
[Goku's eyes flash green, and everyone but Cell trades nervous looks. Even Vegeta looks a little frightened.]
Ryoko: (stands) I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're all very sorry, Yugi. We didn't know your feelings were hurt, and we should have paid more attention to you. I'm sure if Heero were here-
Yugi: (quietly) Oh, Heero...how could you?
[Yugi begins to sob loudly and buries her face in Goku's shirt. Goku shoots Ryoko a menacing look, and she shrinks back in fear.]
Cell: Since Heero's the one she's upset with, why don't you just yell at him?
[At that moment, Heero climbs in through the window. He heads for his room, then pauses when he notices everyone is looking at him in anger.]
Heero: What is it now?
[Goku grabs Heero by the neck and pulls him closer.]
Goku: So you like making innocent children cry?!
Heero: What are you talking about?
[Goku forces him to look at Yugi's face. She suddenly stops crying.]
Yugi: You said we were friends! You said you cared about me!
Heero: (confused) We are, and I do. Why are you crying?
Yugi: You left me, Heero. I hate being alone!
Heero: Alone? We're in an apartment full of people!
Yugi: I didn't want them! I wanted YOU, Heero! Only you!
[Heero starts to speak, but Goku squeezes his neck. Yugi hops out of Goku's grasp and stares up at Heero.]
Yugi: Pick me up, Heero.
[Heero, keeping an eye on Goku, carefully obeys. Yugi rests her head against his chest.]
Yugi: You never answered me before, Heero. I want you to answer now. Do you love me?
Heero: (gags) Can't...breathe!
Yugi: Uncle Goku, let him go, please.
[Goku hesitates, but finally backs off.]
Yugi: Answer me, Heero.
[Heero glances around the room. Each face is begging him to say yes, while Goku's is daring him to say no. Heero then looks into Yugi's eyes and sighs.]
Heero: Yes, Yugi. I do love you, but you can't just cry and expect me to do whatever you demand. Being a Gundam pilot is my job. It requires a lot of hours, and that means I can't always be with you. That's why you have Cell and...now Goku, I guess. Besides, if you really needed me that badly, you could have just flown up to the roof yourself.
Yugi: But you shouldn't have left me.
Heero: I'm here now, squirt.
Yugi: Will you take me for a ride in your Gundam?
Heero: (frowns) Absolutely no-
[Goku takes a step forward.]
Heero: Well, okay. But don't touch anything.
Yugi: Yay! Thank you, Heero! (kisses his cheek)
Goku: If ANYTHING happens to her while she's with you...
Heero: Then it's your fault for making me do it.
[Heero carries Yugi out of the window and up to the roof.]
Ryoko: Crap! We still don't have any dinner!
Nagi: We could order take-out...
Goku: Chinese!
Vegeta: Mexican!
Cell: PIZZA!!! And since I have the highest power level here, you're ALL going to listen to me! Now, shall it be Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Papa John's?
* * * * *
Vegeta's Interview
Vegeta: I wasn't surprised when Cell told me that Yugi had been using her powers to control us, especially Kakarot and Heero. She's always been trying to get her way, ever since Ryoko and I met her at the Chaos Academy.
Guy: So you don't like her?
Vegeta: Actually, I think she's pretty bright, for a non-Saiyan. No one would really suspect that she had enough power to control the mind of a Gundam pilot, much less a Super Saiyan like Kakarot. I guess your mind just gets weaker when you spend all that time on Earth.
Guy: How long have you been on Earth, V-Man?
Vegeta: Silence! Only Yugi the High Goddess Supreme can call me that! Now die, dimwit, DIE!
[Guy runs away screaming as Vegeta tries to kill him.]
* * * * *
[Yugi is sitting in Heero's lap, pointing at various buttons and switches around the pilot's seat.]
Yugi: What's that one do?
Heero: That one changes the Gundam from Bird Mode to Battle Mode.
Yugi: And that one?
Heero: That one controls the arms.
Yugi: That one?
Heero: That sends power to the rocket boosters.
Yugi: How do you remember them all?
Heero: Practice, I guess. If you're done asking questions...
Yugi: Wait, one more! What happens if I do this? (presses a button)
Heero: Yugi, NO!
[High above the city, the Wing Gundam aims its Beam Cannon and fires. Times Square is reduced to several piles of dust.]
Heero: Well, now you've done it. I hope you're happy.
Yugi: No, but a kiss would make me VERY happy...
Heero: You want a REWARD for destroying Times Square?
Yugi: Yeah! I am evil, you know.
Heero: There's not a single doubt in my mind.
Yugi: So I can have a kiss?
Heero: You're lucky I let you sit in my lap. Don't push it, squirt.
[Yugi turns around and stares deeply into his eyes.]
Heero: Yugi...what are you doing?
Yugi: (quietly) Kiss me, Heero.
[Heero starts to refuse when the Gundam shudders violently. He realizes that it is responding to his exact movements, and that he is also shuddering.]
Yugi: Kiss me, Heero. Please?
[Heero's eyes widen in shock as he sees his hands drawing Yugi's face closer to his own. He tries to scream, but no sound comes from his mouth.]
* * * * *
[The others are reading a notice from Cartoon Network executives.]
Ryoko: Well, it basically says that we rule. We even beat the uncut version of Gundam Wing!
Goku: That's great! Um...when's the pizza getting here?
Nagi: I don't get it. Why are people even watching us?
Cell: We're super popular. Do we need a reason?
Ryoko: Good point. Well, except Nagi.
Nagi: HEY!
[Before Nagi can revert to her former obsession of killing Ryoko, there are several explosions outside.]
Vegeta: You know, I think we're going to regret standing here in a few seconds.
[Everyone runs as the Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle takes out the back wall and most of the first bedroom. When the smoke clears, they can see the Wing Gundam itself, spinning crazily in the air.]
Cell: Looks like you were right again, Vegeta.
Ryoko: I told Heero not to let that kid drive...
Next Time: As a result of the accident, new sleeping arrangements have to be made, and Heero gets a birthday party he's never going to forget (no matter how much he tries). Also, Guy returns with bad news: somebody's got to go!
Author's Note: Yugi is my Muse (on loan from Pioneer), so if you have a problem with any of this, take it up with her. (I'd advise against it, though, as she hates critics) However, all positive comments should be directed to me, so I can give them to her personally.

The Real World belongs to MTV and happens to be a great show (all that tension is actually entertaining!). Not that I'm getting paid for this (but I really, really wish I was).

Ryoko: But we didn't-
[Goku's eyes flash green, and everyone but Cell trades nervous looks. Even Vegeta looks a little frightened.]
Ryoko: (stands) I think I speak for everyone when I say that we're all very sorry, Yugi. We didn't know your feelings were hurt, and we should have paid more attention to you. I'm sure if Heero were here-
Yugi: (quietly) Oh, Heero...how could you?
[Yugi begins to sob loudly and buries her face in Goku's shirt. Goku shoots Ryoko a menacing look, and she shrinks back in fear.]
Cell: Since Heero's the one she's upset with, why don't you just yell at him?
[At that moment, Heero climbs in through the window. He heads for his room, then pauses when he notices everyone is looking at him in anger.]
Heero: What is it now?
[Goku grabs Heero by the neck and pulls him closer.]
Goku: So you like making innocent children cry?!
Heero: What are you talking about?
[Goku forces him to look at Yugi's face. She suddenly stops crying.]
Yugi: You said we were friends! You said you cared about me!
Heero: (confused) We are, and I do. Why are you crying?
Yugi: You left me, Heero. I hate being alone!
Heero: Alone? We're in an apartment full of people!
Yugi: I didn't want them! I wanted YOU, Heero! Only you!
[Heero starts to speak, but Goku squeezes his neck. Yugi hops out of Goku's grasp and stares up at Heero.]
Yugi: Pick me up, Heero.
[Heero, keeping an eye on Goku, carefully obeys. Yugi rests her head against his chest.]
Yugi: You never answered me before, Heero. I want you to answer now. Do you love me?
Heero: (gags) Can't...breathe!
Yugi: Uncle Goku, let him go, please.
[Goku hesitates, but finally backs off.]
Yugi: Answer me, Heero.
[Heero glances around the room. Each face is begging him to say yes, while Goku's is daring him to say no. Heero then looks into Yugi's eyes and sighs.]
Heero: Yes, Yugi. I do love you, but you can't just cry and expect me to do whatever you demand. Being a Gundam pilot is my job. It requires a lot of hours, and that means I can't always be with you. That's why you have Cell and...now Goku, I guess. Besides, if you really needed me that badly, you could have just flown up to the roof yourself.
Yugi: But you shouldn't have left me.
Heero: I'm here now, squirt.
Yugi: Will you take me for a ride in your Gundam?
Heero: (frowns) Absolutely no-
[Goku takes a step forward.]
Heero: Well, okay. But don't touch anything.
Yugi: Yay! Thank you, Heero! (kisses his cheek)
Goku: If ANYTHING happens to her while she's with you...
Heero: Then it's your fault for making me do it.
[Heero carries Yugi out of the window and up to the roof.]
Ryoko: Crap! We still don't have any dinner!
Nagi: We could order take-out...
Goku: Chinese!
Vegeta: Mexican!
Cell: PIZZA!!! And since I have the highest power level here, you're ALL going to listen to me! Now, shall it be Pizza Hut, Domino's, or Papa John's?

Vegeta's Interview
Vegeta: I wasn't surprised when Cell told me that Yugi had been using her powers to control us, especially Kakarot and Heero. She's always been trying to get her way, ever since Ryoko and I met her at the Chaos Academy.
Guy: So you don't like her?
Vegeta: Actually, I think she's pretty bright, for a non-Saiyan. No one would really suspect that she had enough power to control the mind of a Gundam pilot, much less a Super Saiyan like Kakarot. I guess your mind just gets weaker when you spend all that time on Earth.
Guy: How long have you been on Earth, V-Man?
Vegeta: Silence! Only Yugi the High Goddess Supreme can call me that! Now die, dimwit, DIE!
[Guy runs away screaming as Vegeta tries to kill him.]
* * * * *
[Yugi is sitting in Heero's lap, pointing at various buttons and switches around the pilot's seat.]
Yugi: What's that one do?
Heero: That one changes the Gundam from Bird Mode to Battle Mode.
Yugi: And that one?
Heero: That one controls the arms.
Yugi: That one?
Heero: That sends power to the rocket boosters.
Yugi: How do you remember them all?
Heero: Practice, I guess. If you're done asking questions...
Yugi: Wait, one more! What happens if I do this? (presses a button)
Heero: Yugi, NO!
[High above the city, the Wing Gundam aims its Beam Cannon and fires. Times Square is reduced to several piles of dust.]
Heero: Well, now you've done it. I hope you're happy.
Yugi: No, but a kiss would make me VERY happy...
Heero: You want a REWARD for destroying Times Square?
Yugi: Yeah! I am evil, you know.
Heero: There's not a single doubt in my mind.
Yugi: So I can have a kiss?
Heero: You're lucky I let you sit in my lap. Don't push it, squirt.
[Yugi turns around and stares deeply into his eyes.]
Heero: Yugi...what are you doing?
Yugi: (quietly) Kiss me, Heero.
[Heero starts to refuse when the Gundam shudders violently. He realizes that it is responding to his exact movements, and that he is also shuddering.]
Yugi: Kiss me, Heero. Please?
[Heero's eyes widen in shock as he sees his hands drawing Yugi's face closer to his own. He tries to scream, but no sound comes from his mouth.]
* * * * *
[The others are reading a notice from Cartoon Network executives.]
Ryoko: Well, it basically says that we rule. We even beat the uncut version of Gundam Wing!
Goku: That's great! Um...when's the pizza getting here?
Nagi: I don't get it. Why are people even watching us?
Cell: We're super popular. Do we need a reason?
Ryoko: Good point. Well, except Nagi.
Nagi: HEY!
[Before Nagi can revert to her former obsession of killing Ryoko, there are several explosions outside.]
Vegeta: You know, I think we're going to regret standing here in a few seconds.
[Everyone runs as the Wing Gundam's Buster Rifle takes out the back wall and most of the first bedroom. When the smoke clears, they can see the Wing Gundam itself, spinning crazily in the air.]
Cell: Looks like you were right again, Vegeta.
Ryoko: I told Heero not to let that kid drive...
Next Time: As a result of the accident, new sleeping arrangements have to be made, and Heero gets a birthday party he's never going to forget (no matter how much he tries). Also, Guy returns with bad news: somebody's got to go!
