This one came to me when I was out with my friends on monday. We got into a discussion about the boys, animals, various places around the world. ::grin::
Disclaimer: I don't own them, I never will. 'nuff said.
It has been exactly three hours and seventeen minutes since I was forced to disembark from my Gundam, Wing. It is well hidden from the casual observer, but if OZ were determined to find it, they might. I laid traps about it to make anyone think twice about approaching Wing. I have found myself in a tropical environment with many plants and annoying insects. I press onward.
It has been exactly three hours and twenty-nine minutes since I left Wing. The foliage has given way to a small path. I am following it. Perhaps it will lead me to civilization. Not that I want to get to civilization, but my supplies are minimum. The bare essentials; a canteen, matches, MRE's and a pocket knife. MRE's aren't my favorite food, but they are better than nothing.
It has been exactly three hours and forty-six minutes since I left Wing. I have the feeling I'm going in circles. I had to abandon the trail because of several unfriendlies. They didn't notice me, but I won't take the chance of setting foot on the path. I saw an ocelot at least that is what I believe it was. A small cat creature with spots and sharp claws. It was eating. Despite being cautious, it spotted me. A tense moment followed where I wasn't sure what to do. Instinct told me to leave it alone. We stared at each other for a few moments before it decided I wasn't a threat and went back to eating. I continue on.
It has been exactly four hours and three minutes since I left Wing. Nothing to report except that I ran into some locals, woman and several children. They were friendly and pointed me in the right direction.
It has been exactly four hours and fourteen minutes since I left Wing. I have found a colony of parrots nesting. I'm not sure what type they are, but they are colorful. Duo and Quatre would probably like them. I sit and watch them for several minutes. Then a smaller gray parrot catches my attention. I recognize it as an Amazon Gray Parrot. I've heard they are intelligent. I don't have time to test that theory. I must keep going. I still think I'm going in circles though.
It has been exactly four hours and twenty-seven minutes. I find myself face to face with a jaguar. It doesn't seem interested in me. It, like the ocelot, is eating. It doesn't care what I'm doing. I slip passed and move on. I come to a pond and see what appears to be a log. It isn't. It's a crocodile, I think. I never can tell the difference between crocodiles and alligators. There are more locals. Most of them are children. A couple babies are crying. I decide to move on.
It has been exactly four hours and..
"HEERO YUY!"
Heero turned around and came face to face with Relena, Duo, Quatre, and Wufei. Relena looked a bit ticked. She'd crossed her arms in that way that said, "I'm not happy."
"Heero, have you been here the entire time? Here we thought the tourists had swallowed you. We've been all over the zoo looking for you. I can't believe we lost you in the Rainforest House. Honestly! What is with you today?"
Heero straightened and glared back at her.
"Come on Relena. At least we found him. Trowa is still missing." Duo pointed out.
"That reminds me, have you seen Zechs. He and Noin were supposed to meet us here and I have yet to find them." Relena said and she gripped Heero's arm and guided him out of the exhibit.
