Update: I barely had to do anything with this one, really.
K, here's the other fic I promised. This one's longer. Again, It's the Optimized Like Ondai ep, only "slightly" tweaked.

Don Wei woke up to find snowflakes swirling around his room. He gasped, the freezing cold hit him like a cement truck. "Must…get…jacket…"
He walked out to find Stan and Koji running over towards the main hangar.
"We're going to cover the Arrow, It can't take this temperature drop!" Stan called over to him.
"C-can I h-help w-with s-s-something?" Eva came out of the sleeping quarters she shared with Jordan, the sleepy gunner following close behind and rubbing his eyes.
"Not really. There's heaters in the storage area!" Koji pointed towards a large room. Eva nodded.

"Jordan, hurry up-I can't feel my fingers!"
Eva and Jordan had taken their blankets and donned them like a cloak. Eva was sitting on Jordan's cot.
"I'm trying! Stupid thing." Jordan whacked the offending object. "You'd think that by the 21st century-" He broke off as the old heater flared to life.
"Aww man, I can't believe it's so cold!" Eva leaned forward, warming her frozen fingers.
"Here…climb in." Jordan held out his arm.
"Ewww…" Eva cringed and scooted away from Jordan.
"Umm…Well, you know what they say, one Eskimo under a blanket freezes to death, two Eskimos under a blanket…live."
"Well this Eskimo's gonna die." Eva stuck out her chin defiantly, and Jordan knew that was the end of it.

Jordan woke up shivering. 'What's going on? I thought we had a heater!'
Then he opened his eyes and realized what was wrong.
The heater was broken.

Okay, tell me what you think! I have the second chapter right here, but I'm not updating until I get at least three reviews. Amen!
