Kodak Moments Presents: A GQT Thanksgiving:
AKA, Gobble, gobble you dead bird.
Brought to you by: The Gutter Girls.

*Note, no real turkeys were harmed in the making of this story, and if they were, they asked for it.

The plan was simple. Eat food all day and then watch anime. The second part of the plan was easy. The first part of the plan was more difficult to manage. See, a couple members of GQT didn't realize that you had to cook food in order to eat food. The rest forgot that you had to have food to cook food. (They were far too used to having everything done for them by raving fan girls.) That's where our story begins.

It started out with dividing the tasks evenly among the team members. So, Seven, the Jades, Assja, Amber, and Ben all got kitchen duty. Meaning, they got the lovely pleasure of cooking all the food (and therefore 'taste-testing'), while the others were in charge of getting the turkey. It seemed there had been plenty of food in the kitchen, except for the elusive turkey. So with that thought in mind, half the members of GQT waved to the other half and headed out into the wild.

(It should be noted at this point that GQT should not have let Missa, Julie, Lily, Cyn, Siobhan, Mirabella and Alentia [affectionately known as the Gutter Girls] off on their own without any supervision. However, if they had been separated it just wouldn't have been as much fun.)

Once they reached "Turkey Country", they separated into smaller groups to allow themselves a better chance of catching a turkey since it was something none of them had done before. Each of them headed a separate direction and had their own ideas on the best way to catch a turkey.

Mira decided she would lure it out with Tenimyu (Prince of Tennis live musical), and so chose a nice shaded spot and pulled out her expensive, new portable DVD player.

Missa had much the same idea, and could be found sitting under a tree, watching Prince of Tennis on her own brand-new portable DVD player and sipping off of one of her many bottles of Coke.

(It should be noted at this time that in no way has GQT pilfered funds from the Gryffindor Staff Pool... *whistles*)

Siobhan and Lily had gone off together, however what they did in the first part of their search is unknown. They must have gotten separated along the way because Sio ended up at the nearest pub, while Lily seemed to be lured towards Julie.

Alentia was doggedly following Julie, being a proper minion, while we have no true idea what Cyn was doing at the start, though there seemed to be an abundance of hissing noises coming from the nearby stream.

Mira was so into watching her Tenimyu that she took no notice of the turkey sitting quietly beside her, seemingly enjoying the show. To this day, we may never know how Tenimyu attracted the turkey. However, we do plan on doing studies on this in the future.

Suddenly, Mira laughed (she was watching the part where Inui talked about Oishi and Eiji's 'friendship') and the turkey let out a loud gobble.

Shocked, Mira looked away from the show and saw the turkey moving quickly away from her, realizing it had been discovered. Mira had to take the time to pause the video before hurrying after the turkey. Luckily for the turkey, Mira could not bring herself to leave the DVD player where it was at and carried it with her. This effectively made it impossible for Mira to catch the bird with her bare hands.

After giving chase for a while, Mira lost track of the turkey, but all was not lost. She had stumbled across Missa's hiding spot and sat down next to her.

Missa turned off the episode of PoT she had been watching, and demanded that Mira start the show over since she wanted to watch it and hadn't brought her DVD. Mira happily complied and Missa shared her Coke and chicken fingers with her. After a while, they switched over to watching PoT. Comments could be heard running along the lines of - "My, that's a nice Drive B he has." - "Do you think Ryoma will ever get to try Kamio's Sonic Bullet?" -"So that's what the bleachers are really for." - "That must have been a tight fit. Eight boys in a small locker room like that." - "Argh, my arm!" - "Well at least it was just his arm, Fuji might have been disappointed if it were more." Obviously, they would not be surfacing for a while.

Meanwhile, Sio was searching the pub for the turkey. Unfortunately for the gentlemen with just a bit too much Thanksgiving spirit (he had dressed as a turkey), she seemed to think that he was the plumpest turkey she'd ever seen and was trying to catch him. She thought he would make really juicy meat once cooked.

...And hissing could be heard from the stream...

Julie and Ale had spotted the turkey that Mira had unknowingly chased their way, and both were busy trying to capture it. Ale had been trying to do so with her bare hands, while Julie had resorted to pulling out one of her many, many pairs of handcuffs.

Ale had managed to pounce on the turkey, effectively stopping it from making an escape, and she commented that its feathers were not as soft as she had thought they would be. Her toys in the den were more ticklish and softer than the turkey was. Trying to hold the turkey still was proving to be quite a feat, as it was as slippery as Jello. Wet Jello that is, which is very slippery when wet, as are quite a few other food products. The turkey managed to free itself by poking in places turkeys are not meant to poke. However, Julie had whipped out her handcuffs and placed one end around the turkey's foot before it could make its made dash away from them.

Unfortunately, Julie had not taken into account that the handcuffs were made for humans (though they weren't the nice custom made ones that she normally used). They easily slipped off the turkey, and it ran for its dear life. Julie was about to make chase, when she found that she suddenly could not move. Lily, having an innate talent (or intuition), for tracking down and finding handcuffs, mysteriously appeared and had latched onto the end of the handcuffs which had been around the turkey's leg. With a quick yank, the handcuffs were freed from Julie's grasp and Lily began to stroke them lovingly singing her newly formed song dedicated to handcuffs.

Deprived of her handcuffs, Julie sat down and waited for Lily to come back to earth, wishing that she had also remembered to pack her whip with her. She would have been able to whip the turkey into shape then.

...And hissing was heard from the stream...

After a bit of time, the group once again met where they had started. To the shock of the others, Cyn came up to them with the turkey in hand. Well, not exactly in hand, as it somehow had a bandana for an animal collar and a towel as a leash.

It was then that the Gutter Girls realized that they would have to kill the turkey in order to eat it. A few of the girls were fine with this idea, while others vehemently protested such an action. A vote was taken and it was a stalemate, with the turkey getting the deciding vote. Stupid turkey. Obviously, they released the turkey back into the wild since it didn't want to be eaten.

Not quite sure how to explain why they had come back (almost) empty handed, they devised a very believable story to tell the others. Well, it would have been believable if it hadn't included; pink bunnies, rampaging orange bears, feather dusters, chicken fingers, bubble bath soap, a tutu and chains. Actually, with these girls, that was very believable. Except that they hadn't come back with any of the above, except for the chains.

As they approached the kitchens, they noticed the delightful smell of freshly made food and hurried inside. Sitting on the table was a lavish display of food, including a turkey. When asked how they had gotten a turkey, Seven held up a grocery receipt.

And that was how GQT took the easy way out.
