I don't own Gundam Wing; it belongs to Sunrise, Yoshiyuki Tomino, and
all them other people. I also don't own McDonald's and their delicious

biscuits...Yummy!

Chapter 2: The Contest Begins!

Day 1: Today's the big day! Today marks the official beginning of
Dfire's GW Survival Contest! Today the two teams will get to their
destinations by boat, then by trekking through the treacherous forest.
Oooooh! This is gonna be good!!

The next morning, when the sun is just peeking over the horizon, the
G-boys are still asleep in their rooms snoring and drooling to their
heart's content. It's peaceful, it's quiet, it's...

Dfire: TIME TO GO!!

:::Trowa almost falls off his bed as I barge into his room::: Yeeeek!!
What are you doing in my room?!

Dfire: Waking you up before you guys fall too far behind.

:::Quatre emerges from his room sleeping rubbing an eye::: Morning
Trowa...Morning Dfire...(yawn)...what's going on?

Dfire: You're losing the game already that's what's going on. Part of
survival is getting up early and being that "early bird who catches
the worm."

Trowa and Quatre: <blink> <blink>??

Dfire: What I'm saying is that it's waaaayy past your time to get up
and that the g-girls are waiting outside ready to go.

Trowa and Quatre with big anime heads: NANI?!?!

Wufei: :::walks in an interesting apparel of lil' panda boxer shorts
and matching top:::

Can't an elite soldier get some sleep around here? I have to get my
beauty sleep you know.

Dfire: You could use some.

Wufei: What did you say?

Dfire: Nothing. I like your nightie set, have one just like it. ^__^

Wufei: Shut your mouth, woman! This is a special edition nightwear
made in China, the great motherland!

Dfire (muttering to herelf): Looks more like something from Rave. Okay
guys! Let's move it! It's time to go!

:::Trowa starts franticly pulling out clothing from his dresser, while
Quatre almost stumbles over him trying to get to his room and take a
quick shower:::

Dfire blows on a whistle almost making Wufei's ears explode: Okay you
guys! Move it, move it! I'll go wake up the others. Quatre, make sure
you scrub real good; you'll need a good shower before you
leave...there's no telling when you'll have a chance to take another.

Quatre: What?! O.O

Trowa to himself: What did we get ourselves into?

After a quick fifteen minutes of showering, dressing up, gelling hair,
picking knots out of Duo's braid, making iced tea for Quatre, ironing
Wufei's funky white pants, and stealing Heero's laptop we finally
piled into my deluxe sized mini van and got on that highway just as
the sun was coming up.

Dfire: Wow we made it!

Duo: Yippee! We're on our way to camping!

Hilde: Can we stop by McDonald's and get an Egg McMuffin real quick?
I'm starved.

Cathy: Who needs McDonalds's when you got Chick-fila and their Chicken
biscuits?

Dfire: Sorry guys, but we have to get to Bear Island by seven. Get
used to not having those luxury items like greasy artery-clogging fast
food, there won't be any for the next three days.

Hilde, eyes jiggling anime style when they're about to cry: You mean
<sniff> no McDonald's?

Heero: What a minute. Yesterday you said the contest would last two
days.

Dfire: Ummm..yeah I did--But you see with the time getting there and
setting up camp adds up to a lot of hours, so I changed it to three
days instead of two. No big deal.

Relena: I think it's a very big deal. I say we discuss this in an
organized assembled meeting.

Dfire: Relena, this is not one of your peace missions, this is my
ultimate Survival Adventure. :::spots Krispy Kreme around the
corner::: Ahhhh! Donuts!

:::Takes a sharp turn causing all ten G-people in the van to tumble on
one side of the vehicle into one big heap:::

Quatre: Aaaahhhh! My poor spleen!

****About an hour later****

Dfire: There she is! These are the two ships that will take you to
Bear Island, the Atlantic Dream and Starboard. Aren't they beauts?

:::Quatre squints his eyes to take a better look at the available
transportation:::

Dfire, those "ships" look like a few pieces of plank wood tied
together with some fish net string.

Dfire: That's because they are just a few pieces of wood tied
together. I'm a teenaged girl--how do you expect me to get a giant
cruise ship?

Quatre: I could.

Dfire: I know you could but that's beside the point. But hey! It
doesn't matter, this is a survival contest; you're supposed to be
roughing it.

Dorothy: You're not making me get on that worthless piece of wood you
call a ship. Did you make those yourself?

Dfire: Yes, I did.

Duo: I could do better in less than ten minutes.

Dfire: Okay, so I'm not what you could call a carpenter! Geez, the
sacrifices I make for you guys and this is how you treat me?

Relena: It's okay, this will do. Let's just get this thing started
already.

Dfire: Okay then, here are the maps. :::Gives one to each team
captain, Sally and Quatre. The team members crowd around them to take
a look at the maps:::

Cathy: Don't we get maps of the island too?

Dfire: Nope, just this one of the water to help you get to Bear
Island.

Cathy: But how will we find our way around the woods.

Dfire: By landmarks and stuff like that, use your instinct! Do you
think Louis and Clark used a map to get to the Pacific coast? Did
Magellan have a well-detailed map of the world?

Sally: No

Dfire: Of course not! Now, the guys will use the Atlantic Dream and
the ladies will use the Starboard. From here is where we part, for the
next three days you will be alone in the wilderness with no contact to
the outside world, no telephone, no radio, alone in a savage land
where beasts who prey on unsuspecting victims and pounce...

Quatre: Please stop!

Dfire: Sorry Quatre. Now guys all--what a minute...I almost forgot!

Heero impatiently: Now what?

Dfire: Dfire check! :::pounces onto the g-boys and g-girls small pile
of luggage and begins ripping open suitcases and shredding through
knapsacks:::

Cathy whispering to Relena: What is she doing?

Relena: I don't know, she's completely insane.

Dfire lifts up a metal item from the pile: Aha!!

G-boys and G-girls: O.o

Dfire: A cell phone!

Relena: That's mine. As foreign minister I need it for whenever a
board wants to discuss peace relations.

:::From out of nowhere Dfire pulls out a large mallet::: You won't be
needing this.

Relena: No!!

:::With all my strength I swing the mallet down and smash the phone
into a million bits and pieces::: There, now that's done. I'll have to
search you guys next.

:::Relena picks up the little pieces and clutches them to her chest:::
My poor dear cell phone; we've been through many good conversations
together, conversations of world peace. I will miss you dearly, my
dear dear cell phone.

:::Trowa backs away as I approach him:::

Dfire: Don't worry Trowa, I'm just gonna search you for modern
conveniences.

:::He still backs away as if I'm a rabid animal:::

Trowa: Keep away from me!

I pounce on him and begin searching through his pockets. I even go
through his hair because there's no telling what he could in those
bangs of his. Trowa: I've been violated! :::Then I search through the
others and everything's clear until I get to Heero:::

Dfire: What is this? :::Pulls out a gun:::

Heero: That's mine.

Dfire: Trying to bring weapons into the peaceful wilderness, huh? You
should be ashamed.

Duo: We could use it for hunting.

Dfire: Not guns! Use bows and arrows, rocks, anything but not guns.

Heero: Hn

:::Dfire continues her search and runs into another gun. She pulls it
out and finds another then another::: How many of these do you have?

Heero: Hn

Dfire: Okay, Duo and Trowa, help me out here.

:::The two G-boys pick Heero up and shake him upside down. One gun
falls out, two, three, four more, soon there's a whole pile of guns on
the floor:::

Duo: So that's where you keep those things!

Dfire: Okay now that's done so I guess it's time for you to start your
journey. While you're there I suggest you all keep journals, it's what
all the explorers and traveler people do. Now get on those ships,
er... rafts.

They all pile onto the ships and Quatre does his job and gives out
orders.

Quatre: Alright men! Release the sails!

Trowa: There are no sails.

Quatre: What? No sails?

Wufei: Yeah! Just this stupid flimsy little piece of cloth.

Dfire: That 'flimsy little piece of cloth' happens to be my mom's best
tablecloth. It was the only piece of cloth I could find that could be
used as a sail.

Hilde: Where's the oars? We don't have any oars.

Dfire: You guys don't have any.

Duo: How are we supposed to move then?

Dfire: Er, your hands I guess.

Dorothy: I refuse to put my hands in that water and paddle like a dog.

Dfire: Okay then, Miss Dorothy, use your eyebrows to paddle.

Dorothy: Why you...! (oof) :::Before she can clobber me Cathy releases
the "sail" which was actually my old baby blanket with cute little
bunnies and squirrels on it:::

Sally: O.o

Quatre: Oh, look at the cute widdle bunnies!!

:::Wufei starts paddling with his hands muttering something about
stupid women and injustice. The other g-boys join paddling furiously
since the g-girls are slightly ahead:::

Dfire: And away you go! Bye! Bon voyage! Get along, think straight and
you might survive. I wish you guys the best of luck. (muttering to
herself) You're gonna need it.

Duo: I have a bad feeling about this.

Heero: Hmmmm

That was part two of the Survival Contest and the journey has finally
begun! So what dangers lie ahead for our brave adventurers? There's no
telling!
