The Birds I





A lone squirrel slunk across the hot street, it's belly to the ground 
and it's eyes wide open in terror. A wide, hulking monster barreled 
down on him, leaving him paralyzed with fright. Suddenly, it swerved. 
Barely grazing him. The squirrel drew in a shaky breath and pat the 
sweat off his forehead. As the monster rounded the corner, the squirrel 
shook his little fist in anger. < Those stupid gundam boys. What do they 
think they're doing!?!>

"Right!" 

"Left!" 

"Right!" 

"Left!" 

"Duo!" Wufei shut his eyes tightly as he struggled with Duo for the wheel.
"Are you crazy!" 

"There's another one! Right!" 

"AHHHH!" All the Gundam boys yelled as they, and their luggage, went 
flying to the left side of the van. 

"Duo!" 

"Left!" 

‘Smack!' 

"Hey, what'd you do that for?" Duo whined as he rubbed his sore cheek. 

Heero growled, "So you wouldn't get us all killed!" 

"Okay!" Duo said brightly, moving to sit down on the nearest object...
the wheel. "Left!" 

"AHHHH!" 


```````````````````````````````

A giggle could be heard from the back of the cabin as Duo curled up 
beside Heero, fingering a bottle of sake lovingly. Soon, a smack was 
also heard from the back of the cabin, along with a yelp of indignation. 

Trowa looked over at Quatre who was still sleeping. He shook his head 
and stared out the window. < Almost there... > 

"Ow!!!!" 

Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei looked back to see Duo hopping up and down in 
the back of the cabin. 

"Look what he did! He...He...he poured sake down my pants!" 

Wufei and Quatre burst out laughing. 

"Oh," Duo said silently, "I see how it is now......FIGHT!" 

The van erupt with various noises such as yelps, screams, and laughter 
as the gundam boys flew from one side of the van to the other. Wufei, 
being the driver, was very nervous. 

"Hey, cut it out!" Wufei yelled as another body flew up into the front 
seat. "It is my duty to get us all to the cabin safely...ACK!" Wufei 
clutched his throat as Duo's braid wrapped tightly around it. "Duo...
Duo.." Wufei whispered as he tried to reach the long haired pilot. 
Suddenly, the chaos ceased. 

"Um," Quatre asked, "Who's driving?" 

The four gundam pilots looked to the front of the driver's seat to see 
Wufei sprawled on the floor and Duo laying beside him, his braid wrapped 
tightly around his neck. 

"Oops. Sorry." Duo said, shrugging. 

"Don't just stand there! Get the wheel!" Heero yelled. 

"Okay, okay." Duo grumbled. Suddenly his eyes brightened. 

"Left!" 

"AHHH!" 


```````````````````````````````

"The cabin! Oh, thank god! It's the cabin!" Wufei yelled as he barreled 
out of the van headfirst. 

"Why's he so happy? I thought it was a pretty good drive." Duo said as he 
walked down the steps behind Heero. 

Heero just frowned as he looked at the area around him. < So, this is 
where we spend our vacation... > 

"Oh, cool! Hey, Quatre, Trowa! Come out and see this!" Duo yelled as he 
jumped up and down with excitement. There was no answer. "Um, guys?" 

Duo, Heero, and Wufei ran back up into the van, but stopped still in the 
doorway as they saw Quatre and Trowa. Quatre and Trowa were curled 
around each other in the back of the cabin, a bottle of Duo's sake in 
Quatre's arms. Trowa just opened his eyes and looked at them wearily, 
"He won't wake up." 

Duo sighed, "Shoulda known the poor guy couldn't hold his liquor. Okay!" 
He walked over to Quatre, a water bottle in his hand, "Cold shower!" 

"AHHHHH!"
