HI EVERYONE!!!!
WuFei- You're cheery today...and what's with the crutches?
Simple! I fell off a curb!
Trowa- How do you do that?
Uh...not look? Anyway, the reviews I got really made me feel better! No, they really did! Keep it up and within three chapters this fic will be over and the sequel can be posted! Later!
HellBus Ch. 23: Islands of Adventure III: Looney Toons and Jurassic Park. Hell. Thing.
Heero just stood there, shaking in his little brown boots.
"He alright?" WuFei asked for the thousandth time. He and Quatre had bought a considerable amount of comic books and therefore the two of them were stuck to the ground with the weight. Neither of them could wave a hand in front of the Perfect Soldier's face to make him blink, so Duo did it.
In his own, uh, Duo way. "Heero! Hellooo! Snap out of it!" Instead of just waving his hand in front of Heero's face, he accidentally smacked the guy. "Oops...was that your nose?"
"Duo..." Trowa had a sweat drop and buried his face in his hands. "Why do I associate with you?"
"Because you love me!" Duo carrot-grinned at Trowa while still waving his hand in front of Heero's face. Needless to say, a series of smacks was heard. "Oops again..."
"Let's go. Heero can walk it off," Quatre said wisely, walking off towards the next island.
"Wait up!" Duo yelled, grabbing Heero's arm and dragging him off to the next island. In the process of dragging, the soldier crashed into many a pole and tripped over several benches and trash cans. Trowa and WuFei laughed the whole time as Trowa took pictures of Heero's expression (priceless!) as he crashed into all the items. Up front, Quatre remained delightfully oblivious to the abuse of his fellow man.
By the time Heero arrived in the Looney Toon park, he was badly bruised and bleeding from numerous cuts. Yet he still stood there staring blankly at a bush.
"Now what?" WuFei asked, trying to cross his arms but failing to do so because of the shopping spree bags. "Heero didn't walk it off, Quatre! Hey, where'd Quatre go?"
Indeed, Quatre was no where to be found. Trowa, WuFei and Duo began to frantically search for the missing blonde. Duo dived into the bushed to look there (Heero thought the bush was trying to communicate...O.o) Trowa and WuFei split up and searched east and west. Good thing it was a small island so the search didn't last too long. However, they did not find Quatre.
"Where could he have gone?" WuFei asked as he felt a tap on his shoulder. "Stop it Duo. Now, as I was saying...Duo! I said stop it!"
"It wasn't me!" Duo said from directly in front of WuFei.
"Then, who?..." He turned and looked up...and up...and up. There was an abnormally tall cartoon character right behind him. WuFei immediately declared the thing evil as it waved to him.
"No, that's not the one! the one you have to hug is over there talking to the bush!" Quatre stepped out from behind the character and pointed at Heero. He looked at the others and smiled. "Hey guys! Woody Woodpecker's gonna give Heero a hug!"
"Woody Woodpecker?!" Trowa's eyes grew very big and he began to smile. "Sexual innuendos all the way!" he screamed, rolling on the ground in laughter. Shortly there after WuFei and Duo joined him in the fit of spontaneous laughter.
Woody ran over to Heero and gave him a gigantic bear hug. Heero stopped talking to the bush and began to panic, shouting, "Damn it! Pervert! Scary! Go! Away! Now!" He fought to free himself from the bear hug of doom and ran off over Woody to the next island which looked like a jungle.
"After him, guys!" Quatre said with a hint of flair for the over dramatic, rushing into the jungle island as well. It took WuFei, Trowa, and Duo a while to collect themselves before they ran to the island as well. Woody Woodpecker was nothing more than a heap on the ground now because five teenage boys had just run him over. No one cared. Boo hoo. Moving on.
Quatre was the first to find Heero hiding in a jeep that said Jurassic Park in bright pink on the side. The others came soon after.
"Heero, what are you doing?" WuFei asked, puzzled beyond all sane reason.
Heero had somehow gotten a hold of a small plastic gun and was pointing it out the window. "I'm gonna kill that god damn, mother fucking woodpecker!! MWAHAHAHHAHAAA!!!!"
"You know," Trowa said after a small ponder at Heero's words. "What does 'mother fucker' mean anyway? As in, where did that phrase originate?"
"I don't know," Heero replied, struck by the sudden revelation that he actually had no clue. He put the plastic gun down and stepped out of the jeep. He looked back the way he came, then forward along the path, and then back at the jeep. "Hey, when'd that dinosaur get there?"
"Where?!" Duo screamed, spinning in a circle. He spotted it above the jeep. It had its fangs out and looked ready to kill anyone who set foot near the jeep. "AHHHHHHH!!" He somehow picked up all the guys and ran father into the park. no one bothered to tell him the dinosaur was made out of fiberglass.
As Duo sprinted through the island, he caught sight of a raft ride. "It'll be safe on this ride! Come on! NO DINOSAURS HERE!!!!"
And that was how the G-Boys got on the Escape From Jurassic Park ride. Smart move, Duo. Smart move indeed.
The G-Boys were flung in the front of the ride. They noticed the seats were a little wet but made no comment. There was a hill in from of them blocking the rest of the ride from view. After waiting patiently for a few minutes, the raft was sent up the hill with a full load.
On the other side of the hill the sign of Jurassic Park loomed over them. Somewhere a voice said, "Welcome to Jurassic Park," and then the instrumental theme struck up.
This is nice," Duo commented as the raft floated under a large canopy of leaves. he was just beginning to relax when the tour guide said something about Stegosaurus's. Duo, who was sitting on an end seat, immediately tense up. "Quatre...did he say Stegosaurus?"
Quatre rolled his eyes and pointed to a spot slightly above Duo's head. There was the dinosaur, eating and looking at peace with the world. Another was right in front of the raft. Suddenly a brontosaurus lifted his head out of the water in a graceful motion causing the passengers to 'ooh' and 'ahh'. However, the next dinosaur to pop out of the water caused mayhem.
According to the tour guide after the fact, that dinosaur knocked the boat into a restricted area. And that's when Duo began to really panic.
Little dinosaurs were tearing at a workman's clothing which was streaked with blood. As the boat passed, one of them looked up and hissed. There was a long, dark tunnel in front of the raft, but the raft stopped a few feet away from it.
"Please let it be over!" Duo muttered, clutching onto the lap bar and almost breaking it with his iron grip.
Sorry Duo. The ride was far from over. At that moment a snapping sound was heard and the occupants of the raft looked up. The box suspended above their heads snapped off its support wire and crushed them all in a bloody lump of unidentifiable body parts!!
Ok, in actuality the box stopped about three feet above their heads. Heero found it funny, as did Quatre, and gradually the whole raft laughed the event off. The raft continued into the dark tunnel and began up an incredibly steep hill.
Dinosaurs began to pop out of the sides of the tunnel, spraying water at the unsuspecting passengers. Quatre ducked out of their line of fire by trying to hind under the lap bar. Unfortunately for him, he was still hit.
"COLD COLD COLD!!!!! That damn dino shot me in the butt!" (I had to walk around the rest of the day with a water stain on my butt. TT Horrible!)
Duo was screaming the whole ride, but it only got louder after the raft crested the hill and proceeded slowly into a tight turn with more dinosaurs on it.
As the raft splashed haphazardly around the raptors, an incredibly loud roar met their ears and T-Rex loomed out of the darkness. Screams filled the air (Duo loudest of all), among them a person could just make out Quatre and Trowa screaming "Eat me! ROCK ON, DUD, AND EAT ME!!!!" Just as the T-Rex lunged at them, the raft slid down a long drop and splashed down at the bottom in full view of the curious onlookers.
Quatre and Trowa pranced out of the raft, but they were the only ones. The rest of the passengers stumbled off, faces white and eyes bulging.
"Yes! THERE ARE PICTURES HERE!!!!" Trowa screamed, him and Quatre jumping over people in order to reach the counter.
Duo had passed out when he saw the T-Rex, so he was carried into the gift shop and laid down on a dinosaur towel by Heero and WuFei. So when Duo woke up five minutes later...
"They're going to eat me!"
"Shut up. Want an action figure?" Heero lowered a miniature raptor in front of Duo's face, causing the braided wonder to black out again.
"Did you know he was scared of dinosaurs?" Trowa asked WuFei, walking up and looking down at the unconscious Duo on the towel.
"No...but this explains why he 'fell asleep' during Jurassic Park the movie..." WuFei sighed and looked at the picture Trowa was holding. "What the?..."
The picture showed all of the raft plunging over the fall under a gigantic, super-imposed T-Rex. Duo had his braid whipping the person behind him and looked as though he was about to pass out. WuFei and Heero had their arms up in the air and were looking down at the drop, smirks on their faces. Quatre and Trowa had the rock on sign in the air and were screaming up at the T-Rex.
"I love it." Quatre said, walking up and staring at his own picture. "I'll frame it when I get back. Now, about Duo..."
WuFei and Quatre grabbed the towel by Duo's head and dragged him out of the shop. Trowa and Heero walked close behind Duo in case the braided wonder would slip off the towel and remain on the sidewalk in a still passed out state; it was so they could pick him up easier. (Wow, long sentence! Does it make sense at all?) And also so no one could scream that there was a dead body lying on the ground.
"You tired yet, Quatre?" WuFei huffed, still dragging Duo through the park.
"Hey! Heero, Trowa! We're stopping for a minute!" Quatre called behind him. he flopped onto a bench and let go of Duo's towel, so Duo's head landed with a very loud thud on the concrete. "Why do I feel a mist?"
"There's a mist fan behind you," Heero pointed out.
Yep. A mist fan. Placed there to conveniently cool you off when it gets too hot out. Only downside to it: stand too close and you get soaked. Fun, huh? That wasn't sarcasm.
They waited for a while by the fan (Duo had been knocked cold by the fall to the concrete). WuFei and Quatre recovered slowly, but refused to drag Duo to the next island. Rolling their eyes and sighing loudly, Heero and Trowa placed Duo back on the towel and continued to drag Duo.
However...little did they know that they were going in the wrong direction...
As they turned the corner, a splash met their ears. Looking to their right, they saw Dudley Do-Right Falls. That ride wasn't in Adventure Island, it was in Toon Island. Which meant...
"Where'd we make a wrong turn?" WuFei asked, getting splashed by the falls.
No one answered him. They were looking at Heero.
"Not again!" Heero screamed. He was immediately hugged by Woody Woodpecker and fainted out of shock.
"Aw, man!" Quatre slapped a hand to his face. "Now we gotta carry the two of them!"
Next up: Adventure Island
Quatre: Fun, fun, fun day!
Indeed it was.
Duo: Dino...saurs...are...scary!!! -cries like a baby-
Poor, poor Duo. Send in reviews and he'll cheer up! I promise he will!
