~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(On earth somewhere in western United States) The Gundam Wing boys are all awake and ready to leave for the ranch, but Duo was still trying to braid his hair, he finally got done and they started to leave and by this time it was 1:00 PM.
Duo was all dressed up in a fringed shirt and pants, and a funky cowboy hat that goes along with his boots. Chang was just in jeans with a long white T-shirt, and a cool cowboy hat, with sneakers. Heero was in basically the same thing as Chang but with a red shirt, and also a gun belt with a gun. Quatre was in overalls with a blue shirt, and cowboy hat. Trowa was in long kakis with cowboy hat, and an orange shirt.
They all pilled in the van and headed for the ranch. After Heero had saved the earth Duo said they deserve a very long vacation. Duo practically planned out their whole vacation, only a few included their girl friends; this was not one of them. Anyways it would take them at least a half an hour to get to the ranch.
But Duo was to excited to sit still, so they got the straight jacket out and put it on him (with of course a little difficulty) "Hold still." Said Quatre in his always kind (except for when he goes mad) voice. "Ah ha I got it on you weakling" BOOMED Chang. The rest of the trip went peacefully except for Duo asking every five seconds "are we there yet?" Chang who was sitting next to him got quite fed up with this, so he went to the back, got into the cooler, got a ding dong out got back in his seat, and when Duo saw the ding dong he started to scream at Chang to give him the ding dong. "Maybe if you give it to him he might be quiet" said Trowa in his always-cool voice. "Yeah maybe your right." said Chang with an evil smile and an evil tone of voice. Two seconds after he said that Chang shoved the ding-dong in Duo's mouth. Duo tried to swallow the ding dong whole but started to choke, Quatre who was sitting behind Duo did the Heimlich maneuver on him and Duo coughed it all up. Yep he coughed it all up right on the back of Heero's head who was driving and looked stressed out enough already. Fortunately for Duo's sake Heero ignored the ding-dong still stuck to the back of his head. Quatre quickly cleaned up the mess on Heero's head. The rest of the trip was made in silence; Even Duo was quiet.
They got to the ranch they all piled out and took the straight jacket off of Duo. A woman came out and said "Hi I'm Rachel, how can I help you?" (Secretly noticing how fine and hot these boys were) "Hi we would like to rent five horses for an overnight campout please?" replied Duo extremely excited. "All right please come with me." Replied Rachel laughing at Duo's over excited tone. The guys fallowed Rachel into her living room. She handed them each a clipboard with the application and a pen. They all finished quickly and handed her the clipboards. "Oh I see that none of you have much experience." At that moment Duo jumped up and said, "who said I didn't have much experience." "Well maybe it's just that you all put down beginner." Said Rachel. At that instant Duo started to blush.
"Oh please forgive us, we never introduced our selves, I'm Quatre Raberba Winner, that is Duo Maxwell (pointing to Duo), the one looking at the gun over your mantle is Heero, the guy that is looking out the window at the horses is Trowa, and the guy that is playing with your weight training station is Chang." said Quatre apologetically.
"Um can I play your N64 please?" begged Duo "Sure, when do you guys want to leave?" asked Rachel. Actually we would like to get our horses and leave." Said Quatre. "Sure I'll lead you around." Replied Rachel. "Duo c'mon we are going to pick our horses." Came Quatre's voice. "Yeah I'm cumin' one second." Duo replied turning off the Nintendo.
They all went to the coral. "Since you guys are all beginners I suggest we look at the really nice horses, I mean they are all nice but these get cranky." Explained Rachel. "What do you want young, old, dark, light, filly, colt, what?" Asked Rachel. "I'll take a young, bay, colt." Said Duo eagerly. "Sure Hopsing would be perfect for you." Replied Rachel. "I'll take a black and white paint, young, filly, if you have any." Said Quatre. "Oh yes of course Patience will be perfect for you." Replied Rachel. "I want the strongest young horse." Barked Chang. "Um Battle Ship will be yours." Rachel replied looking at Chang. "I'll have anything young." Trowa said quietly. "Ok I think Whispers will be perfect for you Trowa." Replied Rachel. "I will have a young, black, colt." Said Heero. "Ok Evil Canivil is daring if that's ok?" asked Rachel. "Perfect." Replied Heero. "Go back into the house and do whatever you want and go ahead into the kitchen and get anything you want." Duo rushes in gets some pudding cups and stuffs them in his pockets, then rushes to the N64 and starts playing, every body else goes into the kitchen and gets a snack then goes and watches Duo An hour and a half later Rachel comes in and says there ready to go. They go out and see six nicely brushed and saddled horses. "Why is there six horses?" asked Duo curiously. "Well I'm not going to let some beginners take some of my best horses out on my land when they don't even know what to do, fair enough reason?" Replied Rachel. Everyone nodded. Duo Hopsing is over there, Quatre patience is right there, Chang that's Battle Ship, Trowa Whispers is right there, and Heero Evil Canivil is that one, the white one is lightning she's mine. Let me lock up, I'll be right back." Explained Rachel. She returned to find Heero and Quatre up on their horses, but Duo, Trowa, and Chang were struggling to get up. Rachel looked at them and started to laugh. She then gave them a leg up.
Rachel got on Lightning and they started off. "Chang, kick her to go." Said Rachel. "What do you mean her?" Chang asked wonderingly. "Well you asked for the strongest young horse, and Battle Ship is my strongest horse." Explained Rachel. Chang looked at Battle Ship in awe. "Kick `em to go? Easy enough." Said Duo. "No Duo… Duo kicked Hopsing and he bolted away, Rachel chased after him and so did everyone else. Rachel caught him and explained to him that Hopsing was to jumpy to be kicked, "Just say giddy up."
Everybody else finally caught up. "Hey anyone want to race?" Suggested Duo. Everyone nodded. "Ready… Set…Go…!" Yelled Duo. Everyone took off, all of them were together, Chang fell back, Trowa fell back, Quatre fell back, Heero fell back, then finally there was only Rachel and Duo, Rachel kicked Lightning and they moved forward, leaving Duo in the dust, Rachel turned and waited for the others. Duo caught up quickly and they waited for the rest of the boys, "man that was a great race." Yelled Quatre as he rode up. "I think I cheated you guys." Rachel replied "How?" Duo asked looking confused. Well Lightning is a Thoroughbred race horse, she wasn't exactly having a good season, so the owner sold her to me cheap." Explained Rachel. "So that's why she is so dang fast." Said Duo "Man you guys flew." Complemented Quatre.
The rest of the trip was made in almost complete silence from Chang, Trowa, and Heero. Duo and Quatre were very talkative and nice. They got to their campsite (which was an oasis) at about sunset. "Hey guys the blankets you are sleeping on are on the back of your saddles." Said Rachel pointing to the rolled up blankets.
"How about some water?" Asked Rachel as she reached for her saddlebags. Everyone quickly nodded. She threw everyone a bottle of water. "Up for some jerky?" She asked cheerfully. Everyone again nodded.
They were all settling down with their horses tied up. Rachel got off Lightning tied her up, got all the saddles off of the horses and one by one took them to the pond to drink, and while they drank she brushed them. That done she got on Lightning bare back and started circling the oasis. "I'll stand guard for a bit, for the horses because there are coyotes out here (patting the shot gun in her lap). Everyone woke up to find Lightning still circling the oasis with Rachel still wide-awake and cheerful. "Hi guys, here's breakfast." Dropping a big piece of jerky on each of their laps. "I've already gotten the horses saddled so lets start back." Said Rachel.
The whole way home everybody including Chang, Trowa, and Heero shared stories with everyone. They got back to the ranch "Hey guys I wont charge you at all for the ride, I really had fun this time. Is that ok?" Rachel asked. "Oh but we must repay you." Begged Quatre. " O.K. come back again the horses really enjoyed you guys as their riders, I can tell." Said Rachel. The guys said good-bye, then got in the van and drove off. They got back to the hotel, every one looked at Duo which had an evil look in his eyes, he then asked "Guys don't we need jobs?" Everyone looked open mouthed at Duo. To Be Continued…
