Gw Survival Contest--Part Three

The Curse of Bear Island

I'm back! I'd like to say thank you to everyone who reviewed this fic.
I'm glad you like it and since you do, I'll keep writing more. Once
again, I don't own Gundam Wing, I'm just an American teenager with
nothing better to do but write this fic. It seems to be coming out
good. I also don't own Poptarts or Pizza Hut. Well, read on!

Day One (7:35 a.m.)

And they're off! The G-boys and G-girls are now more than half-way to
Bear Island which means they've been doing a lot of paddling by now.
Hee Hee ^__^

Relena: Can we stop just for a minute? My arms are getting tired.

Sally: Awwww..is the poor little princess scared of the water? Do you
want that old fart Pagan to help you out? No you can't, the guys are
right on our tails and we need to get there first to set up camp.

Relena: This is a survival contest not a race, Miss Po.

Sally: For that young miss you owe me ten thousand pushups!! Now keep
paddling!

Hilde to Cathy and Dorothy: Those twisty tails Sally's head are
finally messing with her brain.

Sally: You three, stop talking and start paddling!

***Meanwhile, the g-boys are working hard to catchup. Heero's still
mad that his gun supply was stolen, Quatre is complaining about
fingers getting wrinkly because of the water, Trowa is looking a
little green, Duo is chattering happily along like always, and Wufei
is...being Wufei.***

Wufei: This is injustice! INJUSTICE! Imagine, elite Gundam pilots such
as ourselves paddling water like worthless canines!

Quatre: Don't worry Wufei, we're almost there. Look you can see the
island already.

Duo: You don't think Dfire didn't supply us with oars on purpose do
you?

Quatre: Duo, Dfire would never do that!

Wufei: Hmph! It wouldn't surprise me; that woman is just as crafty and
evil as all the other females in this universe.

Duo: Well, I'll be glad when this is all over and we win that prize
money. I'll spend all that good green on something real nice.
***Starts dreaming of buying a mansion in Miami and dating Brittany
Spears***

Heero: You really think we're going to win don't you Duo?

Duo: Well, Heero. Like I always say, you always gotta look at things
in a positive way.

Wufei: And how praytell can you see this nightmare of a contest
positive?

Duo: Just imagine what you'll do with all the prize money.

Heero: Hmmmmm... ***Image of Relena on a rocket ship to the moon pops
up in his head***

Quatre: Hey guys! We're ready to dock--and look, we beat the girls.

Duo: Looks like they're going off to their campsite.

Quatre: Oh my Alah! Trowa, you look like Heero's shirt!

***Sure enough the poor circus clown Trowa's face is looking a sickly
green***

Heero: He's seasick.

Quatre: Trowa, do you need a bucket? I'll get you a bucket!

Wufei: He can just throw up in the water.

Trowa: Gghhhgh..Ghhg...

***Spews all over an unlucky Chinese guy***

Wufei: Gahhh! My white pants! My beautiful pants!!!

***After they reached the shore and Wufei changed, the G-boys prepared
the campsite. After that they began to hear eachother's bellies crying
out for food and decided that it was time to get some breakfast.***

Quatre: I packed a few things we'll need. They're in that knapsack
over there.

Duo: Great, I'll have a Poptart.

Quatre: Uh, Duo, we don't have any Poptarts.

Heero: Duo, don't you remember? We're supposed to be roughing it.

Duo: Oh yeah, I forgot. Well then what do we eat?

Wufei: We eat stuff from the forest of course. There's plenty of
animals and berries-

Duo: Berries?! Let's go!

***And so the G-boys begin to trek through the forest in search of
game***

Duo: So, what type of animals do they have on this island?

Heero: According to the data I collected last night, mostly small
mammals make up the population of this place.

Duo: And what mammals would those be?

Heero: rabbits, opposums, squirrels, woodchucks, beavers, foxes,
bears-

Duo: Bears?! O.O Hold on! I thought you said there were only small
mammals on this island.

Heero: I said mostly. This is Bear Island you know.

Quatre: So we're going to eat those poor innocent animals? That's so
sad.

Trowa: Quatre, do you like to eat chicken nuggets?

Quatre: Yes, I love them.

Trowa: Then you've eaten many poor innocent chickens.

:::Quatre runs away screaming::: Waaaaah! The poor little
chick-chicks!

G-boys: O.o

Duo: And to think that he's our team captain.

Heero: I fear for us all.

Duo: Where's Wu-man?

Heero: He went to go hunt on his own.

Duo: That's Wufei for you, always the solitary one.

:::Suddenly, the three hear Quatre calling them: Hey guys! Look what I
found!

Duo speeds through the forest ready to gobble up whatever the blond
Arab found: Is it food?

The three make it to where Quatre is at. He's by a hollow log holding
up a small black and white furry animal cuddling it as if it were a
plush doll.

Quatre: Look you guys. Isn't he the cutest thing? ^^

The three pilots' eyes bug out when they recognize the white stripe
running along the animal's backside.

Heero nervously: Quatre...put that thing down.

Trowa:....!

Duo: That's a skunk, Q-man!

Quatre: I think I'll keep him and name him Fluffy.

:::Suddenly, the animal dangerously lifted it's tail:::

Duo: Run for it!!!

****Uh...*ahem* on another part of the island the girl's have finished
building their campsite. Now they are munching on squirrel on a stick,
all except for Dorothy.***

Hilde: I can't believe we're eating something that just half an hour
ago was chittering and jumping through trees.

***She notices Sally giving her death-threating glare***

Hilde: Uh--b-but it's really good! See?

***Tears into her squirrel*** MMMMMMM-Yum...O.o ***Suddenly springs up
and runs off to the woods***

Cathy: You want some Dorothy? ***slides a squirrel under Dorothy's
nose***

Dorothy: Umm...I'm a vegetarian. I'll just have berries.

:::Relena bites into her squirrel::: Blech! It tastes horrible!

Sally: You'll eat your squirrel and like it. Back in the guerilla
camps we ate everything from squirrel, turtles, rats, occassional
crickets... :::Relena gets up and runs and bends over a bush:::

Cathy: I wonder what the guys are doing right now.

Sally: I bet you they're not doing as well as we are; with my
experience in camping and knowledge of the woods, we'll definitely
win.

Dorothy: I certainly hope we win. It would show those Gundam pilots
what women are capable of. It will prove to them we can do things just
as good or even better than them! We will defeat those worthless
G-boys and claim victory even if it takes us to the bitter end. Ah,
this battle of human survival vs. the dark wilderness thrills me. Oh,
I hope there will be bloodshed.

***Long silence***

Sally: Okay, um, why don't we tell stories. I got a good one. Have any
of you heard the curse of Bear Island which just so happens to be the
same island that we're on? Isn't that something?

Dorothy almost choked on a berry and Sally had to save her with the
Heimlech maneuver.

Cathy: Ugh, I think I just ate a squirrel eye.

***Hours pass and it's now nightime as the g-boys sit down for dinner
around the campfire***

Duo: No! I refuse to eat something that's staring back at me!

Trowa: But Duo, it's all we have.

Duo: I want Pizza Hut darn it!

Wufei: Listen Maxwell. I caught this rabbit with my own barehands,
something you weaklings couldn't do. I was the only one who brought
back food to the camp.

Duo: Well we had a little run in with a skunk this morning so you
can't blame us for not bringing anything, oh great Mr. rabbit hunter.

:::Quatre is flood crying over his plate, sogging his grilled
rabbit::: Oh, the poor little bunny rabbit.

:::Heero emerges from the nearby lake since he had just finished
scrubbing himself for the tenth time that day:::

Duo: Hey Heero! Did you finally get that skunk smell off?

Heero: Hn

Duo: I'll take that as a yes. Why don't we tell ghost stories?

:::Wufei, who was at the time standing with his arms crossed by the
tent away from the campfire, grumbled as he sat down on a rock by the
campfire::: This is foolishness.

Duo: If you don't want to participate, Wu-man, then you don't have to.

Wufei: I've got nothing better to do so I will. And don't ever call me
Wu-man.

Duo: So does anyone have a story to tell?

Heero: I do.

Duo: You do Hee-man? Tell it to us.

Heero: Well, it's a story I heard years ago when I was just a young
boy. Many years ago, there was a band of pirates that had just
finished plundering a ship off the coast of Jamaica. They were on
their way to their final destination, when an approaching storm forced
them to stop here on this island. While they were they decided to
bring out their giant chests of gold and start counting their riches.
But like many pirate bands, they were never able to spend their money
and their treasure still lies somewhere deep within the earth of the
island.

Duo: You mean there's gold on this island!

:::Heero nods his head:::

Duo: Whoopee!! Can you imagine how filty rich we'll be if we find that
money?

Trowa: $.$

Heero: It's not that easy Duo.

Duo: Whaddya mean?

Heero: Legend has it that the pirate crew got greedy and turned
against their captain, Pinkbeard.

Quatre: Pinkbeard?

Heero: Yes, he had a pink beard.

Quatre: Naturally?

Heero: Yes.

Quatre: Oh...

Heero: Anyway, the crew got greedy and they murdered their captain
just to keep the treasure for themselves. They planned to leave the
island the next day with the treasure in their hands. But that never
happened.

Duo: What happened?

Heero: That night as the pirates slept, they heard a bloodcurdling cry
from one of the crew member's tents. They quickly ran to it but when
they got there all they found was the crew member's nose on his pillow
and a cryptic message scribbled across the tent.

:::Duo and Quatre were quivering on the hollow log:::

Quatre: W-w-what did it say?

Heero: It said, "You all will die by dawn."

:::Trowa is now looking around nervously:::

Heero: That night was a night of death. That night, one by one, the
crew members fell to the ghostly hands of Pinkbeard; no bodies were
left behind, only the noses of his victims marked the place of their
death.

Heero: And they say that every night the ghost of Pinkbeard still
roams the place, protecting his treasure and destroying all visitors
who step foot on the island. So be careful and watch where you step,
or...

:::Suddenly, whips out a flashlight and lights it under his face,
making it look all scary:::

YOU WILL BECOME ANOTHER VICTIM OF PINKBEARD THE PIRATE!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! !!!

:::Duo and Heero clutch eachother and scream bloody murder. Even Trowa
lets out a pretty loud yelp and jumps into Wufei's lap:::

Wufei: Get off of me!

:::Heero suddenly grows serious again and clicks off the flashlight:::

And that is my story.

Duo: P-p-pi-pinkbeard!

Quatre: I-I-I don't w-w-want m-m-my n-nose to come off!

Wufei: Ooohhh..Pinkbeard the Nosechopping Ghost Pirate, I'm sooo
scared! You fools, that's a story that could only scare weaklings.

:::Heero walks away to his tent:::

I'm going to bed now.

Wufei: Hmph, foolishness--

:::A loud screeching sound of an owl breaks through the silence and
Wufei disappears into his tent:::

I'm finally done with part three. I can see this humor fic turning
into a humor/horror fic. Well, review and I'll keep on writing. ^__^
Ja ne!
