the best I can for spelling in grammar. usually Shalon
checks and edits the episodes but seeing as she is not

its temporary trust me! I hope you enjoy the episode. |
Episode 13: Shalon and Quatre Gone: Chili
Cook Off ASV Vicky Style.
It
is another quiet day in the life of ASV. Despite the absence
of the two more responsible of the group, Quatre and Shalon,
things seem to be going all right. Perhaps it is the shock
of the lack of the responsible heads, but amazingly, everything
seems to be going without a hitch. Heero if off in a corner
working on his laptop again, Wufei is taking a much needed
nap, Duo is by the stereo listening to music with headphones
on, Vicky is losing yet another video game, and Trowa is scouring
the kitchen for food. Yes, everything is right with the world.
Trowa:
*from the kitchen* Umm is anyone planning to make dinner?
Vicky: That’s Quatre’s job.
Trowa: Well that’s the problem you
see, Quatre is still not here.
Vicky: Then it’s another fend for your-self-night.
Heero: I think there is still some left over
pizza from yesterday.
Duo: Oh you mean the one left on the counter?
Ya, um I ate that.
Vicky: That was mine!
T.V: YOU LOSE
Vicky: Ahh man, not only did you eat my Pizza
but you made me lose my game.
Duo: Hey don’t blame your inadequacies
on me. Not my fault you suck.
Phone
rings, Duo jumps up to answer
Duo:
I GOT IT!!! *Picks up the phone* Yee-llo!…. Whoa dude!
Where are you? *yelling away from the phone* Hey guys it’s
Quatre! *back to the phone* Your where?… What are you
doing there?…. That’s interesting. So when are
you coming home? …Uh-huh… ok… uh-huh…
Well that is no where near Rome. Better luck next time bud.
Send me a post card kk? Laters.
Phone: Hey wait.. Duo! DON’T HANG UP!!
Duo
hangs up and goes back to listening to his head phones.
Heero:
What was that all about? Where’s Quatre?
Duo: He said something about being in Toronto.
Trowa: Well that is nowhere near Rome.
Duo: Yeah, that’s what I told him.
Vicky: Hey, I’m hungry…
Duo: Yeah, how about some pizza?
*****
Pizza boxes are strewn around the living room, the guys and
gal, are belly up with very satisfied looks on their faces.
(Get you head out of the gutter you sickos)
Wufei:
Man that was some good pizza.
Vicky: How bloody convenient, you sleep all
day and only come out for meals. Next time at least wake up
in time to help with the tab.
Wufei: Well we wouldn’t have to order
in if someone would just cook us a meal.
Vicky: After you Wufei!
Duo: Oooh a challenge!
Vicky: Tomorrow night. Cook off, we’ll
see who has the better cooking skills.
Heero: Vicky perhaps we should remind you
of one small set back.
Vicky: What would that be?
Heero: You can’t cook.
Vicky: Thanks for the support. Just for that,
Heero, you will be the judge. Actually, all of you will be
the judges. Sound fair?
Wufei: You’re on!
Duo: Way to go Heero, now we have to eat
her food.
Vicky: Excuse me, I have to go prepare for
this duel. *storms off*
The
phone rings and Trowa answers it.
Trowa:
Hello? … Quatre? …What was that? I can’t
hear you… …we must have a bad connection….
Where? …. Sorry, your going to have to call back, I
can’t hear you at all. *Trowa hangs up*
Heero: Where is Quatre now?
Trowa: I think he said something about Iceland,
but I’m not sure.
Vicky:
*humbly re-enters the room* Um Heero, can you drive me to
the Grocery Store?
Wufei: Finally SOMEone is doing the grocery
shopping.
Vicky: I'm only shopping for my supplies.
I'm afraid you'll have to get your own. Neh!
Duo: Whoa man I'm coming too!
Vicky: Why?
Duo: I need supplies too.
Vicky: Well I asked first go get your own
chauffer
Duo: I can drive...
All: NO!
Heero: I'll take both of you, if only to
prevent the event of Duo driving
Duo: *pouts*
Vicky: SHOTGUN!
Trowa: Heero, I though you had put that away...
Heero: *shrugs* It’s deep down in my....
*ahem* I don't know how she could have seen it
Trowa: err...
Duo: Naha.. It's my turn to ride Shotgun.
Trowa: ....now that is getting to kinky for
my likes.
Wufei: Well you know she always looks.
Trowa: Definitely way to kinky.
Vicky: You sickos, Shotgun means I claim
the front passenger seat.
Wufei and Trowa: Ohhh.
Duo: Ewe... is that what they were thinking?
Heero: Let's go.
Everyone
starts walking out the door except Trowa.
Heero:
You coming Trowa?
Trowa: Not a chance. *shudders* Nightmares....
Heero: *grabs Trowa by the unibang* you are
not leaving me alone with them. Get in the car!
Vicky: We promise not to leave you in the
parking lot this time.
Duo: Yeah, we will leave you in the park
or something instead.
Trowa: *grabs onto the doorframe* Nooooo....I
don't wanna go!
Wufei: Come on, man! Pull yourself together!
Vicky: Just think of all the pretty girls
you can meet.
Duo: All in "Super Super Market"
Uniforms!!
Wufei: Just get in the car No Guts.
Trowa: Very well, if you put it that way.
But I will not be separated from the group this time.
At
the "Super Super Market"
Heero:
Ok this is how it is going to go, we will split up in groups...
Trowa and Wufei you go with Duo, I'll go with Vicky.
Duo: Oooh some alone time with the chicky.
Heero: Duo grow up. Ok you have 20 minutes
and then we meet up at the car, sound good?
Wufei: Ok... Frozen foods here I come.
Vicky: Wufei that is cheating.
Wufei: Oh did I say that out loud?
Vicky
and Wufei grab a basket and the two groups head off their
own ways.
Vicky:
Ok, first stop: fruits and veggies.
As
Vicky is perusing the fruits and veggies isle, her cell phone
rings.
Vicky:
Hello? Oh hey Quatre! Guess what? Wufei and I are doing a
cook off! I plan to win, but I'm guessing Wufei is too. How's
Rome? I hear it's really nice at this time of the year....
Oh you’re not in Rome.... How did you get there? No
I don't have any family in New Zealand, but I do have some
in Mexico... Oh no good, sorry. Heero? Ya he's right here,
hold on for a sec Quatre. *turns to Heero* Its for you.
Heero: *takes the cell phone* Hello? Quatre?
.....Hello? I think it got cut off. What did Quatre want?
Vicky: No clue, but I don't think he will
make it to the cook off. Can you pick out some strawberries
please?
Heero:
What are you planning to make?
Vicky: No clue.
Heero: So what are the strawberries for?
Vicky: I was thinking of making a sauce out of them.... maybe
get some spinach
Heero: On second thoughts...maybe it's better
that I don't know. Being the judge and all...
Vicky: Oh, right. Wouldn't wanna play favorites
or anything. *bats her eyelashes at Heero*
Heero: Hn.
Over
in the Spices aisle
Wufei:
Do you guys see the Cumin?
Duo: No but I see all sorts of other stuff...
Trowa: They should be arranged in alphabetical
order if that helps.
Wufei: Here it is, now for some pepper and
cloves.
Duo: You know Wu-Man you need more then spices
to make a meal
Wufei: Right you are Maxwell, would you mind
heading over to the meats aisle and picking up some beef tongue?
Duo: EWE! *cough* I think I may be coming down with something...I
may not be able to properly judge.
Over
in the bulk section..
Vicky:
OOOHJ LOOK! GUMMI BEARS!
Heero: You don't need gummie bears.
Vicky: How do you know that? *fills a bag
with gummie bears* Oh and chocolate, rainbow chips and and...
Heero: Are you sure all this candy is good
for you
Vicky: Who cares!
Duo: Ya know Chocolate is considered an aphrodisiac
Heero: Hey what are you doing here? Aren’t
you supposto be with Wufei?
Duo: He sent me on a small errand.
Vicky: Oh what is it?
Duo: Top Secret, highly confidential, but
just a word of encouragement... no matter what you ruin with
your cooking, you will still have an advantage.
Vicky: I think we're going to need more chocolate!
Heero: *groan*
Duo: Opps better be heading back to my master.
Back
in the grain aisle
Wufei:
The trick to picking the best rice... *mumble mumble mumble*
Duo: Hey Wu-man, here is your tongue, just
a heads up, you are in for some fierce competition.
Wufei: Oh really? *thinks* Then perhaps I
should change things up a little... Duo can you go locate
me some beef tripe?
Duo: Ahh. Did I mention the competition was
FEARCE?
Wufei: Don't question the master Chief.
Duo: I bow to your superior cooking knowledge
Trowa: Wufei, what exactly are you making?
Wufei: Nothing to extravagant, just some
curried chicken with rice.
Trowa: *looking bewildered* And the Tripe
and Tongue?
Wufei: Just a ploy to through off the competition...
and of course keep Duo out of our hair, shall we go pick out
some chicken meat?
Trowa: Lets.
Over
in the Frozen Foods aisle
Heero:
Remember no cheating Vicky.
Vicky: I'm not cheating.
Vicky picks out a bucket of premium vanilla ice cream.
Heero: What exactly are you planning to cook?
Vicky: Just wait and see. Now I need cookies.
Over
in the meats
Duo:
Ok here is your tripe.
Wufei: Thank you, you have proven your self
to be quite useful.
Duo: Anytime, glad to be of service.
Wufei: Now I only need one more item.
Wufei: Go to the where the pickled preserves
are and see if they have any Prairie Oysters.
Duo: Prairie Oysters?
Wufei: A delicacy in some cultures.
Duo: Right-O
Wufei: After that you can meet us at the
check out.
Duo: I'm on it!
Trowa: Prairie Oysters?
Wufei: Like I said, a delicacy, In SOME cultures.
A recommendation, don't eat them if you have a weak stomach.
Trowa: I'll take your word on that.
In
the cookie aisle...
Vicky:
Oreos... Oreos... Oreos! One bag of double stuff Oreos. And
I think that is it. Oh Wait! Ketchup! How could I forget Ketchup?
Heero: Ketchup?
Vicky: For dipping, silly!
Vicky: Seventeen Minutes, perfect. I'll just
pay for this and we are done.
In
the car
Duo:
Man what a haul! Ya got some interesting stuff Wu-Man, I look
forward to this cook-off, it may even be the first time I
actually look forward to Vicky's cooking
Heero: Don't get to ahead of yourself there.
Trowa: *in shock* We didn't get arrested....
and I'm in the car. All's right with the world.
Wufei: Don't jinks us Barton!
Security
knocks on the window
Wufei:
Told you!
Everyone
holds their breath as Heero unrolls the window.
Heero:
Can we help you?
Security:
I'm sorry to bother you, but the young miss seemed to forget
one of her grocery bags. *the security guard gives Vicky a
flirtatious wink and hands the bag to Heero though the window*
Vicky: My ketchup!! Thank you so much sir!
Security: Just doing my duty and helping
a young lady. You wouldn't happen to like to get together
for coffee some time.
Heero: *irritated* Ya well thank you we must
be going. *deliberately roles up the window*
Vicky: Heero! That was rude, after all he
was being nice. I don't know what I would have done if I forgot
the ketchup.
Heero: Winning the cook off comes to mind.
Vicky: Oh, Heero. You're so funny.
Heero: I was being serious.
Vicky: I can't wait to get home and start
cooking. You're going down, Wufei!
Wufei: We'll see about that.
At
the house
Duo:
Oh hey we got messages on our answering machine.
Duo
pushes the answering machine message retrieve button and a
digital voice is heard
Answering Machine: You have five messages.
Message one:
Quatre's Voice: Hey guys, I'm guessing your not home, that
is ok, I'll call back later.
Message two:
Quatre's Voice: Um ya, I was hoping someone would be home,
you see I'm in a bit of a situation. Perhaps I'll try one
of your cell phones.
Message Three:
Quatre's Vocie: Well it seems that Vicky's cell phone cut
us off, look here is the situation. *muffled sounds of Quatre
covering the voice receiver and talking to someone else* Just
one more moment sir, I won't be long. *Quatre uncovers the
receiver* As I was saying, I'm in New Zealand and... *click*
Message Four:
A woman’s Voice: This is a Message for Mr. Quatre Winner,
This is Happy Mortgage Credit Agency, it seems that you have
an over due payment on your Mortgage that needs to be settled.
We have tried to contact you numerous times and have been
unable to reach you. If you are avoiding the payment, please
be advised that we will call our lawyers to settle your account.
*click*
Duo:
Sounds Serious
Message
Five:
Quatre's Voice: *very rushed* Heero please pay the mortgage
bill, you know what to do. *beep*
Digitized voice: End of Messages Low battery
Trowa:
We should really get that fixed.
Duo: Later... Now COOK OFF!
Vicky: *to Wufei* You are going DOWN!
Duo: Awe man I cannot wait to see what Wefei
has planned should be good! Until then how about some Mario
Cart? Heero? Trowa? You in?
Five
minutes later...
Vicky:
OOOO Mario Cart! Can I play?
Heero: Aren't you supposed to be cooking?
Vicky: Oh right!
Duo: Is something burning?
Vicky: Eer...
Wufei: SON OF A...
Vicky: Apparently it wasn't mine! I want
to be Princess!
Duo: It smells like.....*sniffs the air* Burnt strawberries....
Vicky: SON OF A...
Trowa: How do you burn strawberries?
Heero: It's Vicky, trust me, she will find
a way.
Ten
minutes later Vicky comes out of the kitchen looking a little
frazzled but feeling satisfied.
Vicky:
Now can I play?
Duo: And your cuisine creation?
Vicky: Done and Done.
Heero: That was quick.
Wufei: *from the kitchen* BLOODY WOMAN!
Vicky: Ya, turns out burnt strawberries don't
go well with curry, so I just threw away the strawberries,
luckily I had some left over that I could still use, and decided
to NOT cook them.
Trowa: Curry and Strawberries?
Vicky: Ya, Wufei's curry looked like it could
use some added colour, but Wufei didn't think so. He has no
artistic bone in his body.
Duo: Vicky! That's a very underhanded, sabatogey thing to
do. I'm so proud of you!
Heero: Don't encourage her.
Vicky: Why thank you Duo. Can I play Princess
now?
Duo: I'm afraid not. Mr. T is using her,
but Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Toad are free.
Vicky: Yoshi it is!
Just
as Vicky sits down to play Wufei comes out of the kitchen.
Wufei:
All right! Dinners done. Time for the judgment.
Duo: Finally! I'm starving!
Vicky: But I just started playing...
Every
one sits down around the table, while Wufei serves everyone.
Wufei:
Curried Chicken with Rice, my specialty
Vicky: Show off! I'll go get mine.
Duo: No really no rush.
Trowa: *takes a bite* Spicy with a bit of
sweet.
Heero: You can really taste the strawberries,
nice touch.
Duo: WOW! You can really do some miracles
with Tripe and Beef Tongue!
Wufei: You're an idiot, Maxwell!
Vicky
comes out of the kitchen with a tray of bowls, and sets one
in front of each person.
Vicky:
Gummie Bears in Wonderland. VICKY's specialty.
In
the bowls are two scoops of vanilla Ice cream surrounded by
Oreo crumbs, chocolate, whipping cream, strawberries and of
course, gummie bears.
Trowa:
It actually looks editable
Heero: I'm impressed.
Vicky: And the ketchup is for when you decapitate
the gummie bears! blood...the blood...oh the horror!
Heero: I'll pass on the ketchup.
Wufei: No fair! You cheated! It was supposto
be a COOK OFF! You know with COOKING!?
Vicky: Wufei, you know very well I can't
cook. You want Quatre and Shalon to come back to a pile of
ashes and cinder?
Trowa: You got to give some credit, she actually
had some sense and knew her limitations and worked according
to them.
Vicky: Yeah! So I made dessert! Now we have
a full meal!
Wufei: So all this time...you were just....
using me?
Vicky: *happily munching on bloody gummie
bears* Using is such a harsh word... I prefer “finding
a means to the end”. I mean how else were we to get
fed?
The
front door opens and in comes Shalon surrounded in luggage.
Vicky:
SHALON!!!
Shalon: Good just in time for dinner, Smells
good!
Trowa: That was a fast two months...
Shalon: Time flies and all that. Now...what's
for dinner? *sits down* And where's Quatre?
Heero: What surprises me is that was an uneventful
two months.
Shalon: That is surprising. Maybe I should
go away more often. You'd almost think I was the one causing
trouble. *thinks* Nah!
Vicky: Chicken Curry, and we don't know.
Phone
rings. And Wufei answers it
Wufei:
Hello? Winner where are you? ... Rome? What are you doing
there? Shalon is home now you know? Uh-huh? ok. Best of luck
buddy.
Heero: How is Quatre's world tour going?
Wufei: Good I think, he's catching the next plane he can home.
On an airplane.
Airline
stewardess: Is there anything else we can get you
mister Winner?
Quatre: No thank you, I'm fine, I just can't wait to get home.
Airline Stewardess: Oh, so you live in..?
Intercom:
Thank you for flying BB Airlines, we should be reaching our
destination of Moose jaw Saskatchewan in exactly 8 hours and
45 minutes. The...
Quatre:
No NO NO!
Episode
14: Coming Soon,
or so we would like to believe.
Vicky:
Hey anyone know if there is even an airport in Moosejaw
Saskatchewan?
