Who's Dman - Issue 23: D'Bob Sled

So Far things we're going quite well for Odette and Myself. I really couldn't believe how well we were doing. I had the sheet with the scores in my hand. Here's what it looked like .....

So the score so far was Dman & Nick at 16 and Duncle & Odette at 17. It was a VERY close race. At any moment Dman and Nick could take the lead in this one. We would have to be careful.

The Next Event was to be D'Bob Sled. We would have to travel for this one. I was told we were going to D'Aunt Artica's place. My D'aunt was always so warm to welcome us. But mt cousin D'Bob, what was he doing inventing D'Seld?? This was going to be interesting. We all headed towrds D'chopper and donned our D'sunglasses © for the long flight. We all put on our seatbelts and were off. Dman motioned for us all to put our headsets on. The loud thunder of D'chopper was quickly silenced. Dman's voice came on and he was giving us instructions.

Now we need to be careful in this event. D'uncle, you got hrut with the Bunnies bucking you everywhere, we don't want anyone else to get hrut. Remember this is only a contest. So let's have fnu wiht it.

We all nodded our consent. I watched out the window as we flew over D'ocean. Boy D'world was getting so big. I could see D'aunt Artica's place off in the distance. The glare was tough to look at even with D'sunglasses © on.

When we landed, there was white everywhere. Dtv was there already set up with camreas everywhere. The hill we were going to ride down loomed in front of us. It was immense. I hoped this time wouldn't result in another trip to D'emergency room. Odette stood with he mouth open, I think she was trying to catch snowflakes. Dman and Nick slapped each other on the backs. I think they were ready for this one. I heard that they'd been practicing for it.

D'aunt came from nowhere and started squeezing my cheeks. She mintioned that I needed a haircut and how silly I looked with all that hair. With lipstick still fresh on my cheeck, she went over to Odette. She had to meet my partner. D'Bob was close behind. He had one of the D'sleds with him. It was spectacular. It looked like a pontoon. Two huge floats with a deck mounted on top. a rudder was in the back to help with steering. WOW, these things were big.

D'referee blew his whistle to get our attention. He pointed to four D'sleds that were attached to a rope for going up the hill. The four of us mounted our D'sleds and up the hill we went. Once again, we were all going at it toghther. We were going to race down the hill. Nick was in front of me and I could see him with his tool box making modifications to his rudder. Dman was testing his as well, I felt like I should be doing something. I looked back to see Odette nearly blue from the cold. I put on my pair of D'champ D'mittens and tried to think of how to win this one. I decided that I would meditate. But before I could get into the right frame of mind, We were at the top. Assistants moved us into place. The hill looked MUCH bigger from the top. Odette was shaking, didn't know if it was from fear or from the cold. Dman and Nick were ready and rearing to go.

The gun sounded and the assistants pushed us out to the lip. Down we went. Dman and Nick had a Huge start. Odette wasn't far behind them. I was bringing up the tail end. Odette looked back in terror. Her scream was held in her throat. Dman and Nick were Neck in Neck. It looked like they were gonna tie for First. The bottom was coming up too quickly. Odette was flying out behind her wheel. She had begun to slow and I was catching up to her really fast. Then we hit. My bump forced her to go even faster. I could see the icecicles on her. whenI bumped into her, it catapulted her forward and she hit Nick. Nick sewrved to avoid hitting Dman, Dman swerved to keep Nick from hitting him. At the finish Line, Odette got through first, Nick close behind and Dman just a hair behind Nick. I was jumping up and down cheering. Then rememberd that I needed to STOP!!!

D'Bob was standing over me crying. I had been drug out of the wreckage. Dman, Nick and Odette were all over onthe side waiting to see what'd happened. Luckily I was jumping up and down as I was thrown clear of the wreck and landed into a big soft snowbank. D'Bob's Sled was ruined though. Yet again I end a competiton on My back. But Odette and I were still ahead by one point. Even if she was turning blue from the cold. Before I had a chance to get on D'chopper and head back to where it was warm, I was suddenly and completly by surprise, pounded upon by dozens of faries weilding pie. When they'd finished, I felt quite like a Banana Split. Now if only I could find my D'sunglasses ©
