Yeah, I know, it keeps getting weirder and weirder... Not my fault, really
it isn't... *sniffles* Anyways, keep reading!
The Helpless Hobo
Episode 4: Half-Eaten Hamburgers
"A HAMBURGER! And it's only half-eaten, too!" The Blind Hobo grinned happily as he walked towads the gundam pilots (and Rhonda). Heero looked around for a hamburger, and finally spotted one behind The Blind Hobo. "You're going in the wrong direction!" The Deaf Hobo shouted. "What? I am? Where is it, then?" The Blind Hobo asked. The Deaf Hobo didn't say anything until The Mute Hobo poked him and make several gestures with his hands. "Oh! It's behind you!" The Deaf Hobo yelled to The Blind Hobo. "Oh... Thanks..." The Blind Hobo happily responded, turning around and feeling around for the hamburger.
"Ooh, it's even got pickles!" The Blind Hobo said as he found the half- eaten hamburger and took a bite out of it. "Ew..." Duo made a face as he watched The Blind Hobo eat the remains of the hamburger. "Heero...?" Duo said with an implying undetone. "Oh, right! Um... Mr. Blind Hobo? Do you know anything about the guy whos been following us?" Heero asked. "What? Oh... Hold on, let me eat in peace!" The Blind Hobo replied, taking another bite out of his hamburger. The pilots (and Rhonda) waited until the hobo had finished his meal, and then received the answer to their question.
"The one who has been following you... He is known as The Helpless Hobo. He isn't harmful, so don't worry about him. In fact, none of the hobos around here would hurt another human being. Except The Evil Hobo, of course. He'll sneak up behind you and slit your throat with a broken piece of glass, if you aren't careful." The Blind Hobo muttered. "Other hoboes? How many of you are there?" Quatre asked. "This entire island is inhabited by hobos! This is Hobo Island! and behind that wall lies Hobo Hut, the gigantic cardboard box which is home to most of the hobos on this island."
"Hobo Hut? Well, at least know I know why those walls are so weak..." Duo muttered under his breath. "Now, then... Where was I before you turned around... Right! *ahem* Do not go in there... If you enter Hobo Hut, you will have fated yourselves to go on a jouney of many perils, and recover the four sacred artifacts of the hobos... Upon doing so, if you survive, you must then fight a terrible battle that will decide the fate of the hobos! Your destiny awaits you on the other side of those walls, but it may be too great a burden for you to carry... Ooh, french fries!" The Mute Hobo sign-languaged "mine", and The Deaf Hobo shouted out "My french fries!" as he dove towards them.
"Maybe... Uh... Maybe we should go now..." Towa suggested, looking rather disturbed. "Good idea..." Heero replied, and the gundam pilots (and Rhonda) turned around and headed for the gates to Hobo Hut.
