It was a very early morning when Guile woke everyone up. The Sun hadn't even risen yet, although it was fast approaching that point. The helicopter was a huge Apache, & it had the body of one of those paratroop planes. Guile explained that it was for high profile escort missions, & he was going to fly it. They all loaded onto the plane & then they took off. It was rough in the first minute...
        "So, is this how a chopper usually takes off, Guile?" Dan asked.
        "Yeah! Once we get more altitude, the prop wash will stop & this baby will practically fly itself!" Guile replied.
        "Prop wash?" Dan asked. He was getting confused.
        "It's where lots of wind is trapped under the rotors & stuff that it flies over is blown away!" Chun Li said. She had to speak lounder because of the noise of the copter taking off.
        "Cool!"        Dan said, his voice louder.
        "Careful now, guys & girls! We're leaving the base & heading for Brazil!" Guile announced over the copter ratio. Guile's gravelly voice started to make Cammy daydream of both of them on a beach, alone, carefree...but then Dan's voice brought her back to reality with a...
        "YAHOOO!!!"
        They were across the Mexican border by sunrise. (They had left from Arizona.) It was here where Sakura tried one of the tricks Karin told her about. Sakura saw Dan standing up, looking out of the window, & decided to sneak up on him.
        "Oh, Dan?"
        "Yeah?"
        "What'cha doin'?" Sakura asked innocently.
        "Lookin' out the window! Check out the view!" Dan told her.
        "OK!"
        Sakura went to Dan's side & saw the different mesas & plateaus dotting the landscape. The desert looked so majestic in the purples & oranges that the sunrise cast upon it. Large, bluish-purple bodies of water passed along with thousands of cacti. Soon, Dan had done the oldest trick in the book: Yawning & putting his hand around Sakura. Sakura did the same thing, but with a twist...
        "HEHEHEHEHE!!! STOP! I'm VERY ticklish there!" Dan said, laughing hysterically.
        "Oh, really?" Sakura said, grinning from ear to ear.
        "No!"
        "Yes!"
        "Uh-uh!"
        "Uh-huh!"
        "You wouldn't!"
        "I would!"
        And with that, Sakura tickled Dan's bottom, causing him to laugh & struggle to run away. Ken had an idea.
        "Hey, Cammy!"
        "What?"
        "You thinking what I'm thinking?"
        "No, but I got a pretty good idea..."
        "C'mon! Grab one of his arms!"
        Dan was having a hard time himself, but now that Ken & Cammy had grabbed his arms, he wasn't going nowhere! He struggled to get free of their grasp, but to no avail. He was getting his bottom tickled so devilishly that soon he found it hard to breathe he was laughing so hard. Then Chun Li came over & asked for a turn. More tickles, but he got a break cause Chun Li didn't tickle as fiercely. Then Cammy asked Chun Li to take her place. If Dan thought Sakura was bad, then Cammy was a tickling goddess. He had to have breaks so he could catch a few breaths before Cammy started tickling again. Soon, they stopped & Dan was still laughing cause all of the fingers tickling his bottom caused it to go numb. Now he didn't know if he was getting tickled or not. Once the numbness wore off, Dan showed a little bit of his regular personality.
        "You know, once I got past the part of being ticklish, I think it was kind of fun, all of these girl's fingers running across my backside!" Dan remarked. It earned him a light slap from Chun Li & a heavy slap from Cammy, who did most of the tickling. Sakura didn't slap him cause she was the one that started it. Dan scooted over to Sakura & asked her how she knew that his butt was ticklish. Sakura had to make up an excuse or she could run the risk of exposing Karin.
        "I was going to grab your buttcheek but then you laughed & backed away!"
        "Wait, so you were going to give me an inappropriate touch?"
        "Ummm...yeah..."
        "Cool with me!"
        Dan turned around & thanked Ken for that "Yawn & put your hand around your girlfriend" trick.
        "Hey Sakura?"
        "Yeah, Dan?"
        "Mind if I return the favor?"
        Dan was immediately bracing himself for a bitch-slap, but it never came. He wondered what the deal was...
        "Sakura?"
        "...make it quick then!"
        "Alright!"
        Dan gave Sakura a love pat & immediately withdrew his hand. Sakura smiled. Cammy was watching Dan & Sakura play their little "boyfriend-girlfriend" games, & then she remembered something. She forgot to ask Guile out! She told Chun Li...
        "Well, we did leave early, so there might not even been time for one..." Chun Li said.
        "Yeah, but I didn't try!" Cammy said.
        "Well, remember what Guile sat while we were taking off?"
        "Something about this Apache flying 'erself when it's got good altitude. Why?"
        "You could ask him if you could fly it with him! He's got no co-pilot."
        "But I don't know how to fly a 'elicopter!"
        "Even better! You could ask him for a crash course!"
        "Crash course? Oh that makes me feel a lot better..." Cammy said.
        "No, I mean a basic lesson on how to fly a helicopter!" Chun Li corrected.
        "Alright, wish me luck!"
        Cammy walked toward the front of the helicopter. There was a curtain separating the cockpit & the cargo half of the plane. Cammy pulled the curtains open a bit, stuck her head out, & asked Guile if she could join him.
        "Be my guest, Cammy! You can sit in the co-pilot's seat."
        Cammy had gotten this far, now all she had to do was wait a little while, then ask Guile if he could teach her to fly a helicopter. But luckily for Cammy, Guile had a hunch why she has here, & also, secretly, his in-copter radio system was 2-way.
        "Cammy, I've been flying for a while now. My arms are starting to hurt. Do you think you could take the helm for a little while?" Guile asked her.
        "I don't know how to fly a helicopter, Guile!" Cammy said, doing her best coy Mae West impression.
        "It's easy once you get the hang of it! You handle one control at a time, & I'll work the others, then I'll let you have a go at all 3 main controls at once! How does that sound?"
        "Alright..."
        "Now, try using the basic steering. Take the flight stick. It's that U-shaped thing with the handlebars."
        "OK. What now?"
        "Now turn it left, & it'll go right. Don't worry, once you get used to the reverse controls of this thing, It'll be smooth sailing!"
        Cammy turned it left nervously. The chopper went right. Well, this isn't so bad, Cammy thought. She then turned right & the chopper went left. She thought she could hear Chun Li's voice in the back of the chopper saying, "Looks like she's learing to fly!" Cammy shot a look at Guile, & he flashed a sly grin at her.
        "Now for the pitch. Push the stick forward...easy...this will cause the chopper to fly lower the more you push in on it. Now pull it back...easy...this will bring the chopper back up."
        Guile's instructions were sweet-sounding & easy to follow, & soon, Cammy had the pitch down as well.
        "Now for the turns. There are pedals down there. Can you push them?" Guile asked.
        "After a fashion, yes." Cammy replied.
        "Well, pushing the left one will make the chopper go left, & the right one will make the chopper go right. Remember what I said with the pitch though."
        "Yeah, yeah. Easy."
        Guile smirked as Cammy got the turns down. He knew that Cammy had a crush on him, & he actually had some feelings for her, too.
        "Alright, now you get to fly the chopper using all three controls. Now, to make sure your first flight don't become your last, we're gonna have to do it piggyback style."
        "Piggyback style?"
        "It's where you get in my lap & put your hands & feet on top of mine to simulate flying a chopper. Usually, US Army officers get training in this, but since you're new, this will have to do."
        Cammy nervously got into Guile's lap. She hoped that he wouldn't get any ideas...yet. To her surprise, while they were "piggyback flying", nothing came up! Nothing from an off-the-record remark to a butt tap! Cammy got out of Guile's lap & found out the answer: he had his legs crossed. She giggled & got in the copilot's seat.
        "I can uncross my legs if you want, Cammy!" Guile said slyly.
        "Stop it, tease!" Cammy replied.
        The rest of the flight seemed to be good. Then Guile accidentally fell asleep...
        "Hey, um...guys? Why are we going down all of a sudden?" Ken asked.
        "Yeah, the helipad is miles away from here!" Ryu added.
        The skyline started to tilt awkwardly when you looked through the window, & gravity was starting to pull things cockpit-wise. Cammy had just came out of the restroom & ran toward's the cockpit. Guile was asleep, & he was leaning on the stick, pushing it downward. Cammy then lifted Guile up & put him in the copilot's seat, where he continued to nod off. She grabbed the stick & pulled it back, which was a tremendous effort, since the chopper was fighting against gravity. She then tried to get it higher into the air. This proved to be an even bigger challenge, because prop wash had now set in. She pulled the stick as much as she could, which sent the Apache higher into the sunset. Soon, Cammy had the plane back to normal again, but when Guile woke up, she didn't want him flying, since he was too tired. He napped a little, & then the helipad was in view: they finally made it to Brazil. One problem: Cammy didn't know how to land!
        "Guile!"
        "........"
        "Guile!"
        "....ugh..."
        "Wake up, you yank!"
        "Augh...hey, are we there yet?"
        "As a matter-of-fact, yes, but I don't know how to land!"
        "Is that it? Well then fly this crate over the helipad."
        "Aye, got it. Now what?"
        "Slightly pull back on the stick. It'll bring you slowly onto the pad."
        Cammy did, & they landed. It was one of those landings that ends with a bump. But nonetheless, they landed safely at the Brasilia Heliport, & now Dan was happier than ever. They were off to get Jimmy!

        Dan was the only one who knew the way to Blanka's straw hut. The rest of the group wanted to find a different way of finding Blanka than follow the Saikyo Tour Guide, but Ryu told them that Dan & Blanka are best friends. If Dan couldn't find him, then nobody could. Ryu admitted himself that this must be the reason that Ken keeps finding his whereabouts while he's traveling the globe. Dan got into adventure garb, which was conveniently pink. He ripped the sleeves off, though. Then Dan became the head of the group.
        While leading, Dan got into a detailed story about how he found Jimmy...
        "Well, I was off on a vacation here & made some friends, which explains the pink clothes fashion that's sprung up around these parts...anyway. I went through this corridor of trees here..."
        Dan pointed to a pathway that was lined with shrunken heads on pikes. The rest of the group was bewildered, as none of them would have had the courage to go down that way. They figured that Dan was just clumsy & completely missed the heads.
        "Then I went through this clearing, which was armed with man-catching traps, like trees ready to fall on me as I walked under them, & even this neato trap involving 2 sharpened tree trunks suspended by vines!"
        The more Dan talked, the less the rest of the group liked this jungle. Then he saw a fruit sitting in an obvious trap.
        "Ah! Some fruit! Jimmy will like this!"
        Dan pulled out the fruit & triggered the trap. Those neato tree trunks were still here! They were in set position, & if Dan moved, then BOOM! His head would be shishkabobed on the points!
        "Dan! Don't move!" Ryu warned.
        "Why not?" Dan asked, scratching his head.
        "You're standing in a trap..." Chun Li told him.
        "What tra..."
        Dan's leg had been caught & now he was suspended upside down by a single vine. The trunks were coming! Dan was doomed! Then...a rustle could be heard through the jungle. A green ball was hurtling for Dan at high velocity! If the trunks didn't get him, the ball will! Then, suddenly, when the trunks were almost upon him, the ball unrolled into a figure, who gave Dan's head a hard kick.
        "Ouch!"
        Luckily, Blanka saved Dan again!
        "Oooh! Ooourgh ungha eep! (Hey, Dan! Hey friends!)"
        "Hey Blanka!" said the group.
        "Hey Jimmy! Do you mind getting me down?" Dan asked.
        "Ooog ooop oooh neep chunga chunga! (Give me that piece of fruit & you've got a deal!)"
        "OK! Just hurry! The blood is starting to rush to my head!"
        Blanka got Dan out of the trap & led our friends to his jungle home. It was a pretty spacious straw hut, & there was a waterfall nearby which served conveniently as a pool & it was good for bathing, too! The girls ran for the waterfall, took off their shoes, & dipped their feet in. The guys took advantage of the deck, which Dan helped build, along with the rest of Blanka's home. Before, Blanka was living in the trees near the waterfall.
        "So, you helped Jimmy build this?" Ken asked nervously.
        "Yeah!" Dan said proudly.
        "Is it safe to walk on? I mean, it won't collapse when I step on it, will it?"
        Blanka was clearly mad at this, so he threw a jungle melon at Ken's head.
        "BINGO! Jimmy! That was an excellent shot!" Dan cheered, applauding Blanka.
        "Oook oog! Hunga hunga eep! (Yeah, it was pretty good, wasn't it?)" Blanka said.
        "Ouch! That hurt!" Ken moaned, still rubbing the spot where it bruised his head.
        Ken gave Guile some cash, which he said he'd use for buying video games. Ken then tried to give Blanka some money.
        "Mook mook ook eeh eeh! (No thanks, I can't spend that around here anyway!)"
        "Well, what do you want, Jimmy?" Ken asked, still rubbing his head.
        "Oooka! Oooka!" Blanka said, clearly excited.
        "Fruit." Dan said, translating Blanka's grunts perfectly. After all, he was the one who taught Blanka English! They fighters all gathered huge mounds of fruits & berries & Blanka thanked them by catching fish. He then cooked them by electtocuting them. Cammy preferred to just have vegetables, but Guile was starved & ate all the fish he could.
        "Ummm...Guile?"
        "Yeah, Dan?"
        "That's not a fish..."
        "What are you talking about?"
        "That's an eel..." Dan warned him.
        "The pilgrims ate this at Thanksgiving, & so can I!" Guile boasted.
        "Urgh Umm Ough Ourgh! (That's an electric eel, Guile!)" Blanka grunted.
        "Electric?"
        A shocking experience for Guile, let me assure you. Soon, they convinced Blanka to come with them. Now the group was complete. They would have invited Zangief, but it's been martial law in Mother Russia for some time. They now had to find out a place to go, so they sat at the heliport while the chopper was getting fuel, thinking of ideas.
        "Maybe we can go to Egypt. It's sunny this time of year." Cammy suggested.
        "It's always sunny in Egypt." Chun Li replied. She was starting to get sleepy.
        "How about..." Dan started to suggest, but the others automatically said no.
        "Come on! Let me get a suggestion out!" Dan pleaded.
        "Oh, alright. What's your suggestion, Dan?" Ken asked lazily.
        "Vancouver!" Dan said.
        "Not a bad idea, Dan. Jimmy hasn't seen the snow before, & we could all use a little cooling breeze." Chun Li said, immediately revitalized at the suggestion.
        "Ooorugh umgh auoogah! (What is snow?)" Blanka grunted.
        "It's little white stuff that's cold & fun to play with!" Dan told him. Jimmy was soon doing backflips in excitement. Soon, they packed up & took off for Vancouver. Then Guile wondered to himself "Why Vancouver?" Unfortunately for our friends, they would get nowhere near their planned destination...
