Chapter 8: Ice Cream Truck of Doom
By: Tiger Shinigami
Heero put his seat belt on while Duo did the same. Then he put the keys in the, um, place where you put them to start up the car thingy, and turned. Instead of the smooth roar of the engine he expected, there was a studdering sound. Heero turned the keys again and the car still didn't start up. He gave up and after a few minutes, since it took a little while for Duo and Heero to crawl out of the car, Heero finally spoke up.
"We'll have to use a different vehicle." He said while searching the garage with his eyes.
"Well, duh, what else were we gonna do?" Duo said while waving his hand around. Heero dragged Duo around as he searched for a car they could use. Unfortunately, almost all of Quatre's cars were being used by the magnags and wouldn't be back until a week or so. There was only one other car in the garage. It was hidden deep in a corner, a dark shadow covering most of it. Duo's eyes got wide when he saw Heero looking at.
"You've got to be kidding me! There is no way I am going to ride in that thing!!" He said while pointing to the car. The car, or that's what it's suppose to be, is Quatre's personal Ice cream truck. The problem with the ice cream truck, was that it was bright pink.
"It may not look like much but we have no other choice." Heero said while grabbing the keys from a nearby rack.
"Great. Just Great. Here we are stuck in a chinese finger trap, I have to go to the bathroom, and the only car we have left is this thing??!!" Duo said while waving his arm around.
By the way, that reminds me, why is a shipment in a car and cargo in a ship? I have always wondered about that. Its just one of those strange things that-
Quatre, Trowa, Wufei, Sally, Noin, and Zechs: GET ON WITH IT!!!
Oh, right, sorry. Anyway, so Heero and Duo made there way into the pink ice cream truck.
"Why does Quatre have this thing anyway?" Duo said while checking in the back of the truck for ice cream.
"He uses it sometimes as a distraction when under attack by she-who-must not-be-named."
"So that's why its p-p-pa-pa-p-pa-pa-"
"Pink." Heero said.
"Thank you."
"Hn." Heero started up the car, or truck.
"Ok, this is how we are going to do this, I grasp the wheel with my left hand and you grasp it with your right, understood?"
"Yeah I guess so. But why didn't Quatre try to stop her today using this ice cream truck?" Duo asked.
"They probably didn't have enough time or something, now can you please be quiet while we figure out how to drive this thing?"
"Sure, whatever..."
Back in the Living Room..........
"That was a tad interesting." Quatre said to the group.
"You know, I think its time we should be getting home." Noin said to Zechs.
"I guess your right."
"I need to be going too." Sally said. With that Sally, Noin, and Zechs went through the front door and left. There was a strong silence in the house.
"Well, I think that went well." Quatre said, trying to cheer everyone up. Wufei gave him his shut-up-you-baka look. Trowa just stared into empty space. Quatre went into the next room and grabbed the phone. He dialed a number and waited for the person to pick up. It rang a few times until someone did.
"Hello?!" The voice sounded stressed and panicked
"Hey, Duo, how are things going? Where are you?"
"Well, right now Heero is trying to drive with one hand and its not working very well!" There was lots of screeching and honking in the background and Duo was yelling over the phone.
"Does Heero have his laptop with him?" Quatre asked.
"Hold on a sec. Heero! Pull over or something!!"
"Of course I do." Was heard in the background.
"Good. I'm sending over a list of people who might be able to get that finger trap off."
"That won't be necessary." Came the reply from none other than Heero. Quatre blinked. Duo blinked. They both blinked. Did you know that whenever you blink your eyes are-
A group of Indians around a fire who appear later in the story: GET ON WITH IT!!!!!
Oops, hehe, there I go again. So after they both blinked and such, Heero said something that was even more confusing.
"I have already arranged for a meeting with someone who will be able to help us." He said. Quatre was just as confused as Duo was, and that very confused.
"Ill call you back later, Bye." And with that Duo turned off the cell phone. "What exactly do you have in mind Heero?"
"First of all, here's a porta-potty for you to use." He said while pointing to a small blue booth on the side of a construction site they were parked in front of. "Second of all, Trowa and I know of a sure way to get this thing off. We are going to meet him." Later, after Duo had taken care of his business, Heero and Duo were driving again. The ice cream music was playing the entire time, and they both were getting very angry at the innocent music. The diving wasn't going so well either.
SSSCCCCCRRRRREEEEEEEEECCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!!
The pink ice cream truck rounded a corner roughly, hitting a fire hydrant in the process. There were branches that snagged on it all over the truck. The annoying music was still playing and there was a heard of screaming kids running after the ice cream truck.
In his living room, Bob was sitting in his comfy chair, reading the paper, facing the window. He looked up when he heard the sound of an ice cream truck coming by. Then he saw a pink ice cream truck zoom past, then a large group of running kids, and then a mob of police cars, all with their sirens going.
"Well that's a bit odd." He said to himself
"Turn more to the left!!" Heero said, clearly not happy with the situation.
"Well, then how's this!!??" Duo yelled back jerking the wheel violently. They turned a bit too far to the left and were headed straight for a house. They had no time to turn away from it, so both of their eyes went wide with shock and terror, for one brief moment Heero actually showed emotion. They turned to each other, and at the same time they yelled at the top of their lungs:
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Then suddenly the ice cream truck went through the brink wall of the house, right past an old lady who was reading the newspaper. The truck kept going and went through the other wall and out into the street again. The old lady looked up for a moment, however she didn't seem to notice the huge holes in both of the walls, or the mob of rampaging kids running through waving money through the air, or the police cars passing in front of her.
"My, My! I think its going to rain," she said before turning back to her paper. Heero and Duo continued to drive around like crazy, followed by the mob of kids and a heard of police cars, sirens buzzing. Heero and Duo had grown tired long ago of the music constantly playing, it only took one punch in the speaker from Duo to shut it off.
'This is definitely a long day....' Heero thought to himself
Wow! I think that this chapter was pretty funny, and I hope all of you peoples did too! I couldn't help but burst out laughing when I wrote this, I had fun doing it too! Oh, and did anyone know that this is my first fic? I kinda forgot to say that at the beginning.
