Duo Maxwell's Island: Episode 2
Later that night, Duo, Heero, and the rest were sitting around the campfire worrying about how to rescue Wufei.
"Oh just let him go off and get married to that native girl!" Dorothy said. 'He was so disrespectful to me anyway."
"But we can't do that to a fellow gundam pilot!" Quatre protested. "Not to mention the face that he's our friend."
"Fine then. You go get him. I'm going to sleep." Dorothy stood and marched over to a leaning shake-like structure.
"Oh Dorothy! Don't go in...there," Quatre finished weakly. As soon as she went through the crooked entryway the whole thing collapsed taking her down with it.
"Get me out of here!" The girls' arms flailed about helplessly as she tried to free herself. The ones by the fire did a collective group shrug and continued their planning.
"So how about we go and blow their camp to hell?" Duo asked eagerly. "During the confusion we'll just go in there and make a rescue attempt."
"That would be a good plan Duo, if we had explosives. Do you see any lying around here?" Heero asked sarcastically.
Duo just made a face in response and stuck out he tongue.
"Don't do that unless you're willing to use it," Heero warned.
Duo smirked at that. "Who said I wasn't?"
"Guys! We have to save Wufei now!" Quatre interrupted.
"I agree with Dorothy. Leave him there." Relena sniffed. "He wasn't much use to anyone anyway."
"Relena, when we want your opinion we'll ask for it." Trowa said quietly. It was the first time he has spoken during this whole situation.
"Hai. Please listen to Tro-chan," Quatre snuggled up to him further and smiled.
"Wait a minute! I have the perfect idea!" Duo jumped up from the sand and grinned evily in Relena's direction.
"Uh Duo? Why are you looking at me like that?" Relena, eyes wide, crabwalked until she bumped into a palm tree.
"Guys grab her and lets go!"
***
"PUT ME DOWN NOW!" Relena yelled for the hundredth time. They had her hogtied with some rope from the crashed boat and she was thrown over Heero's shoulder. To add gasoline to the fire Duo was constantly making faces at her from only a few feet away.
Heero grimaced at her latest series of squeals. "Couldn't we have gagged her?"
Duo sighed sadly at the thought. "We didn't have any fabric and I damn sure wasn't going to use one of my shirts for her!"
"Nor was I," Quatre paused from his attention to Trowa.
"..." Was his koibito's response. "..... ........ .... ............"
"I feel the same way Tro-chan!"
Duo turned to them and raised an eyebrow. "Do you guys have some kind of silent communication thing going on or something?"
Quatre gave him a strange look. "Iie. Whatever gave you that idea?"
"Nevermind."
"Shh. We're almost there." Heero whispered back. Nodding Duo took a rock from the ground and without cleaning it off, shoved it into Relena's mouth. Taking a spare piece of rope out of a pocket, he wrapped it around her head, effectively keeping it in place and silencing her.
"Nice knot," Trowa commented.
"Arigatou."
Faint yells were coming from native camp. As they got closer the identified them as Wufei.
"YOU BASTARDS! YOU DISHONORABLE CURS! GET ME DOWN FROM HERE, NOW!! MAXWELL! YUY! BARTON! ANYBODY? HELP!!!"
Breaking through the treecover, Duo burst out laughing at the sight.
Wuffie-chan was tied to a stake in the middle of the camp. Several natives danced around him as the flames from the small fire licked at his toes. To make it worse, they had completely stripped him and he was straining to cover his groin and blushing at the same time.
"What happened to you? I though you were getting married!" Heero called out.
"That stupid onna changed her mind! They decided to sacrifice me to their god instead! You gotta help me!"
That was when the men surrounding Wufei whipped out spears and pointed them at the small group. Dropping Relena unceremoniously on the ground, Heero brought his gun out of spandex space and leveled at the chief.
"Before you kill me or any of the others, your chief will be on the ground, a bullet in his brain."
"Calm down!" Duo turned on his charm. "We came here to give you a present."
The chief stood from his wooden throne and glanced around. "Where is it?" he asked eagerly.
"It's a she," Duo corrected. Then he added something else under his breath. "Though I have yet to see an official confirmation. Who's to say she didn't get the "operation"."
Quatre snickered and then covered his mouth. "Duo! That wasn't very nice!"
The braided boy shrugged. "I wasn't supposed to be."
Heero lowed his weapon slightly and picked up the conversation. "Are you going to take her or not?"
"YES!" Wufei shouted from his stake, "TAKE HER NOW!!"
The chief approached Relena and ran his hand along her face. "Yes. She will do nicely." Snapping his fingers he motioned to his guards. "Take her and prep her for the Ritual. She will be my wife."
Relena's eyes grew larger and she squealed behind her gag. Squirming she was dragged away to a nearby tent.
Wufei was untied and they handed him his clothes, he hurriedly dressed behind a bush because he saw some of those natives giving him funny looks.
Duo dusted off his hands and started back up the faded path. "Good! That's now taken care of, how are we gonna get off this island?"
"Oh we'll think of something."

"Quatre! Trowa! Get the hell out of those bushes and come here! You're food's getting cold!" Duo yelled in the direction of the forest that night. "Don't you two do anything else besides screw each other silly?"
"Hai," Quatre emerged first pulling Trowa behind him. He opened his mouth to respond and Duo shushed him.
"That 'hai' was enough. You don't have to elaborate."
They couple sat next to Heero and looked into the fire. "What are we having?" Trowa asked. "And where's Dorothy?"
Heero sat next to Duo and gave them a look. "Just wanted to warn--er tell you that Duo cooked it."
"That means it is now unidentifiable," Wufei sat crossed legged and dodged when Duo took a mock swing at him. "That Catalonia onna is taking a bath in the--"
"SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Dorothy streaked by, naked and still dripping water, screaming.
All five pilots jumped up. "What? What's wrong?" Quatre asked.
"A horrid beast is chasing me!" She ducked behind Wufei and tried to use him as a shield.
A bush shook from where she had come from. All five males tensed in anticipation when a little kawaii rabbit hopped out and wiggled it's nose at them.
"Ah! It's the attack of the killer bunnies!" Duo shrieked and jumped into Heero's arms. The Perfect Soldier rolled his eyes and dropped him.
"Quit acting like a baka."
"Ow Hee-chan!" he whined as he put on a pouting face, "That hurt..."
"Don't even ask me to kiss it and make it better."
"Now who's having hentai thoughts?" Quatre smirked.
Ignoring Dorothy they all sat down to another charred meal courtesy of Shinigami.
