Chapter one
*Authors note: I do not own TF2 or any of its characters.*
"Mommy! Mommy! Look at those silly men! Their all dressed in red!" A little boy yelled from the back of his parent's car.
Scout looked at the child from the bench outside the gas station. It wasn't surprising that the kid was yelling at how weird he was. Well he wasn't weird. It was the rest of them that the kid was screaming at. I mean how many times do you see a thing in a gas mask, some soldier, and a black Cyclops riding around in the back of a truck. Not very often.
But now of course they had to sit in some stupid gas station to wait for Sniper and the rest of their team and get stared at by random idiots. I mean sure it was weird to see a bunch a guy's dressed in red with weapons strapped to themselves but you don't have to stare at them the entire time you're getting gas.
'It's all that Snipers fault!' Scout thought 'If he hadn't blown out his d #$ tire then we wouldn't be sittin' here gettin' stared at.'
A few miles back Sniper had run over something and blew out his tire. Engie had stopped and was prepared to wait but Sniper had insisted that they should wait for them at the nearest gas station. So here they were. Sitting outside some gas station in the middle of know where with people staring at them.
There was a loud bang from the gas station door. Scout looked up to see Demo and Soldier getting shooed out of the store by Engie. Pyro followed close behind, snickering about something.
"What happened to you four?" Scout asked looking up at them
"Solly and Demo were just 'bout to get into a fight about who was gonna pay for the booze." Engie replied "I had to drag 'em out before they actually started to fight."
"I'm tellin' ya!" Demo shouted "I bought 'th drinks last time!"
"And I'm telling you!" Soldier roared back "I bought them last time!"
Pyro sniggered and sat down next to Scout, setting a bag of junk-food in between them. Pyro opened the bag and pulled out a six-pack of Bonk and a bag of cheese puffs. Scout wondered how Pyro was going to eat them but he knew Pyro would manage to eat them somehow.
"Wnf onf?" Pyro asked gesturing to the six-pack
"No thanks I got one." Scout said holding up his can
Soldier and Demo made their way to the back of the truck and Engie hopped up to the front. Just as Scout was about to snag a cheese puff from Pyro, Sniper pulled up in his camper van. The van rocked harshly as Heavey, Medic, and Spy stepped out from the back. Spy quickly ran off into the store and Scout could hear panicked shouts coming from the customers. Engie quickly sighed and strode back into the store to tell the young clerk working the counter that Spy wasn't going to rob them.
"What took you all so long?" Scout asked as Sniper stepped out of the van
"Well we would have been able to finish it faster if Medic had stopped tryin' to help!" Sniper said
"Hmph!" Medic huffed before he stormed into the store
"I thinkā¦" Heavey told Sniper "Ve vill being riding with Engie on way back."
"Fine with me." Sniper said
Suddenly Engie's truck lurched backward and Demo tumbled out of the back.
"That's it ye blasted soldier!" Demo shouted "I'm gonna make you pay no matter what!"
Scout looked at the two fighting and knew immediately that it would be a long ride if he went with Engie.
"Hey I'm gonna ride with you the rest of the way back." Scout said looking up at Sniper
"Fine with me. You can bring Pyro if you want to." Sniper said before he headed into the store as well
