One Week


Notes

One Week by Barenaked Ladies.


It's been one week since you looked at me

Zelgadis and Xellos facing off in a kitchen. Zel has his hands on his hips and the priest looks guilty.

Cocked your head to one side and said "I'm angry"

"You gave WHO pictures of me in the shower?!?

Five days since you laughed at me

"But why am I surprised? FRUITCAKE!

saying "get that together, come back and see me"

"I want a full suite of pictures of YOU in the shower!"

Three days since the living room

Zel and Xel are sitting on opposite ends of the couch, watching TV.

I realized it's all my fault, but couldn't tell you

Xellos peers in the window the Zel's room, where the chimera is gazing at a picture of them both at a water park.

Yesterday you'd forgiven me

Xel nocks on Zel's door, and it opens and pulls him inside.

But it'll still be two days till I say I'm sorry

Xellos is floating above the bed, smirking ^_^

Hold it now and watch the hoodwink

Zel catches Xel stealing cookies from the cooling rack and whaps his fingers with a wooden spoon.

As I make you stop, think

Zel watches Xel consume all the cookies in about two winks.

You'll think you're looking at Aquaman

Both looking at a photo album with a pic of Lina and Noonza smiling and doing the V for victory.

I summon fish to the dish,

Now a pic of Noonsa's stripped bones, with Lina standing over him with a wide grin.

Although I like the Chalet Suisse

Lina's mental image of Dragon cuisine.

And I like the sushi

The infamous lake dragon with it's knife and fork, going after Lina.

'cause it's never touched a frying pan

Zel trying to get the pic of him with barnacles away from Xel... with a skillet.

Hot like wasabe when I bust rhymes

Zel tries some of Xel's food, but it trys to bite back. Zel whips out a sword and dices it, but it reforms and comes after him.

Big like LeAnn Rimes

The mobile food is now in drag and chasing both Zel and Xel.

because I'm all about value

Our heroes try to fireball the mess, but it only grows bigger.

Bert Kaempfert's got the mad hits

The lump starts cackling "OHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!"

You try to match wits

Zel and the Lump are playing a game of chess, and Zel is losing badly.

You try to hold me but i bust through

Xel falls on the board, causing a stalemate. Lump and Zel beat the fruitcake down.

Gonna make a break and take a fake

Zel stares at the ring for a moment.. "Cubic zirconia"

I'd like a stinkin' achin' shake

Zel shakes Xellos until he's all black and blue. "No, I don't think it's funny!"

I like vanilla, it's the finest of the flavours

Zel refuses to share his famous Seryuun soft serve ice cream with Xel, who is desparately trying to get a bite.

Gotta see the show cause then you'll know

Both at disneyland at the 'star tours' ride

The vertigo is gonna grow

Xellos is whispering in Zel's ear as the ride begins, smirking the whole time.

'Cause it's so dangerous, you'll have to sign a waiver

Zel gets off the ride and pummels Xel into the ground.

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad

Zel is red and Xellos is laughing at him. Zel slams him into the wall.

Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad

Xellos watches zelgadis walk away, his face a blank mask, but his eyes shining.

I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral

Zel looks at the chortling Xellos, "Can't you take anything seriously?"

Xellos smirks "No. Should I?"

Zel just sighs the long suffering sigh.

Can't understand what I mean? well you soon will

Xel is trying to talk to Zel, who is Not Listening.

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

Xel pulls a list of secrets from his sleeve and waves it in front of Zel's face. Zel trys to get it.

I have a history of takin off my shirt

Xellos slips the list down into his pants and smiles challengingly at Zel.

It's been one week since you looked at me

Zel has his coffee and his remote and is ignoring Xellos, pointedly.

Threw your arms in the air and said "You're crazy"

Xel is buried in pokemon plushies he got on Ebay

Five days since you tackled me

Zel pounces on Xellos, drgging both to the floor.

I've still got the rug burns on both my knees

Xellos smirking.

It's been three days since the afternoon

the pair sitting on a park bench, watching the puffy clouds float by.

You realized it's not my fault not a moment too soon

"Maybe I over-reacted a bit..." Zel mumbles

Yesterday you'd forgiven me

Both watching Zel's copies of Fushigi Yuugi cuddling on the couch this time.

And now I sit back and wait till you say you're sorry

Xel says something in Zel's ear, and the chimera proceeds to chase him around the room.

Chickety china, the chinese chicken

Zel has cooked dinner, so it's nicely edible, but Xellos is making the chicken hold a conversation with the coleslaw.

Have a drumstick and your brain stops tickin'

Zel takes a leg and waves it threateningly at the fruitcake, who asks it "what's your favorite color?"

the leg doesn't answer.

Watchin X-Files with no lights on,

Watching TV in the dark, one lump of shadows, No hands are currently visible... Hmmm... ^_^

We're dans la maison

Throwing popcorn at commericals for skin care products.

I hope the smoking [wo]man's in this one

Xelas appears, takes one look at the pair and disappears again, grinning. "About time!"

Like Harrison Ford I'm getting frantic

Xel trying to convince Zel to let him into the bedroom

Like Sting I'm tantric

Pulls a mike and starts singing "All for Love!" at the top of his lungs, causing the neighbors [Garv and Valgarv...snicker] to pound on the door and demand Quiet!

like Snickers guaranteed to satisfy

Zel finally lets Xel in and nothing but the sounds of bedsprings squeaking our heard for the rest of the night.

Like Kurasawa I make mad films

Xellos trys to come in the bathroom with his new camcorder, but Zel is objecting rather strenuously. "NO! get out you fruitcake!"

Okay I don't make films

Zel chasing Xellos down the hallway, dressed only in swim trunks.

but if I did they'd have a Samurai

Grabbing his sword from beside the much abused bed, Zel tries to slice the tape that Xellos is waving in front of his face.

"Won't Amelia like this video?"

"Die!"

Gonna get a set a' better clubs

both at a nightclub, dancing the night away... Xellos slipping something into Zel's drink... another night of endless squeaks.

Gonna find the kind with tiny nubs

Xellos is examining all the little pebble things on Zel's face, much to the chimera's discomfiture... on the subway.

just so my irons aren't always flying off the backswing

A golf club flies into the side of Zel's head as he read the paper. Xel complains that his putter is bent, "like it hit a big rock or something."

Zel sweatdrops.

Gotta get in tune with Sailor Moon

Xellos is bouncing around the duplex in a sailor fuku and Zel is dress in a tux with a red rose background... Sweatdrop.

'Cause the cartoon has got the boom anime babes

Xellos ogling the Amazon trio on the tv set while Zel fixes breakfast. "Hey, this Fisheye is cute. and he sounds just like you, Zel-chan!"

that make me think the wrong thing.

Zel turns off the tv [a rare event!] and pounces on Xel, jealous.

How can I help it if I think you're funny when you're mad

Zel is red and Xellos is laughing at him. Zel slams him into the wall.

Tryin hard not to smile though I feel bad

Xellos watches zelgadis walk away, his face a blank mask, but his eyes shining.

I'm the kind of guy who laughs at a funeral

Zel looks at the chortling Xellos, "Can't you take anything seriously?"

Xellos smirks "No. Should I?"

Zel just sighs the long suffering sigh.

Can't understand what I mean? You soon will

Now they're playing a game of poker with Valgarv and Garv, bottles of unknown alcoholic beverages litter the table and floor around them.

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

Valgarv pulls an Ace of spades out of Xel's cuff with a dark look. "My my, how did that get there?"

I have a history of losing my shirt

Still playing cards, everyone but Xel is fully dressed, the fruitcake is down to pants only. Xellos lays down a full house with a grin, but Zel shows a royal flush with a smirk. Xellos' facefaults.

It's been one week since you looked at me

Zel drops a bag of groceries, which Xel dives for and misses, ending up on his back at Zel's feet with a sheepish grin. "Oops"

Dropped your arms to your sides and said "I'm sorry"

Pulling Xel up into a hug, Zel whispers in his ear.

Five days since I laughed at you and said

Xel smirks, hugs back and whispers back:

"You just did just what I thought you were gonna do"

Zel drops him and walks away, not looking back when Xellos calls out his name.

Three days since the living room

Xel punks down on the coudh next to the chimera. Zelgadis turns off the TV and walks out of the room.

We realized we're both to blame, but what could we do?

Xellos watches him go with a sad, quilty look.

Yesterday you just smiled at me

The morning dawns bright and lovely, and Xellos wakes up to His favorite breakfast. Zel smiles and leaves for his morning run.

'Cause it'll still be two days till we say we're sorry

Flowers and chocolates outside Zel's door.

Still be two days till we say we're sorry

Chocolate sauce and some twine outside Xel's room

Still be two days till we say we're sorry

Meeting in the hallway... Hugs and kisses.. fade out...

Later....

Birchmount Stadium, home of the Robbie

The message board reads: "Zel, I love you! Xel."

Zel smiles and motions at the next message the board lights up with: "I know, ya fruitcake. I love you too."

Xellos facefaults.
