The Helpless Hobo
Episode 5: The Hobo's Hut
As the gundam pilots (and Rhonda) neared the walls to the Hobo Hut, Quatre's nose began to tickle. Quatre wiggled his nose, hoping it would go away, but the tickling feeling only grew stronger, until finally Quatre sneezed. The pilots (and Rhonda) heard a creaking noise, and suddenly realised that Quatre's sneeze had caused the walls to Hobo Hut to begin to collapse. Moments later, the walls were down, and they were free to enter Hobo Hut.
Everywhere they looked, there were hobos scavenging for food. Every once in a while, someone threw a glance over their shoulder, just in case The Three Wise Hobos had been right about The Evil Hobo. "Hmm... This looks like the kinda place ya could easily lose that new-makeup shine." Rhonda noted, and clutched her makeup bag tightly in her hand. "Where should we go now?" Wufei questioned. "Maybe they have some kind of leader or something?" Quatre asked. "If so, he'd probably have the largest house... Er... Box, wouldn't he?" Trowa suggested. "Maybe we should look for the best looking, largest cardboard box in the whole... Uh... Hut."
The others decided that was a good idea, and so they began their search for the leader of the hobos. "Hey! Look over there!" Wufei said, pointing at a sign above one of the cardboard boxes. "'The Head Hobo.' You think that's him?" Wufei asked. "It must be. Let's go... Uh... Knock on the trashcan lid that seems to serve as a door..." Heero said. Rhonda, being the leader of the expedition, knocked on the door to The Head Hobo's home. "Yeeeeeeeeeees?" Inquired a voice from within. "We're here to see The Head Hobo... We've got to ask him a few things." Rhonda informed the man on the other side of the door.
Once they were all inside, The Head Hobo invited them to join him in a circle around his burning trashcan. Er, his fireplace, that is. "Now, then... What do you want to know? And where'd you get such strange clothing?" The Head hobo quieried. "These clothes are normal, and we want to know how to get off this island!" Duo informed him. "Get off the island? I'm not even sure if such a thing is possible... If you want to know the answer to that question, you'd be better off asking the wisest of all hobos... The hobo of The Hills. By the way, that's a nice pair of shoes you've got there..." The Head Hobo noted, staring at the shoes Duo was wearing. "What?? You aren't getting my shoes!" The Head Hobo shrugged his shoulders, and muttered "It was worth a shot..."
