Till Death Do Us Part from Barbara K. (marblegean)

I have an idea for an A-Team story I’d like to see. It could be a crossover, or not, writer’s choice. I present it as sort of a challenge.

It is based on the first season story “Till Death Do Us Part”. Remember at the end, after the helicopter crash, when we see our intrepid heroes all sporting casts, all except BA? I want a ‘fill-in-the-gap’ scene or entire story based on what happened in the crash and how everyone got rescued or rescued themselves. Remember it is in Texas. (Too bad, I’d love to see it as an Emergency! crossover.)

Think of the possibilities. Lots of hurt/care/angst, lots of friendship, lots of worry. Did BA or Amy go for help, or did they have help come find them? And what of their client, Jacqueline Taylor? She had a cast on her arm too. The scene at the end of the episode was probably some time after the crash too. How did they avoid detection by Lynch? Did someone call for paramedics? How long did it take before they could reach help for their injuries?

Murdock had a neck brace. How severe were his injuries at first?
Face looked like he had a broken ankle, at least.
Hannibal had a hip-to-foot-length cast on his leg. How severe was that injury and who carried him out?
Did they crash very far from any kind of help?

Missing Scene Challenge from Cara

This could be a round robin or one person can write them all. As a fan I’ve noticed in the TV series that when situations are just about to get very interesting either the camera cuts away or our guys come to the rescue just in the nick of time, obviously because of the shows airtime and demographic. I would like to propose an R/NC17 missing scene/what if journey of short stories throughout the series. I’ve chosen some episodes but would be more than happy if your writers want to add others as well.

Season One – Till death do us part, Face and Jackie, kiss after Jackie approaches him whilst he is on watch. They are interrupted by Hannibal bringing back food on a bicycle. What if Hannibal was delayed in coming back, maybe due to something simple like a puncture so he has to walk back? What happens between them before he returns, does Hannibal catch them and what are the consequences of Face breaking Hannibal’s non fraternisation rule?

A Nice Place to Visit – After seemingly running our guys out of town the Watkins brothers try to get to Amy and the heavily pregnant Trish who hold up in the house until the guys return forcing the brothers to retreat. What if the guys don’t get back in time and the brothers break in? What happens to Amy and Trish. At what point do the guys return and how do they react.

Season Two – Bad Time on the border. Amy dresses as Dakota Hayes (sorry for the spelling) and goes into Princes bar to help the guys find out where Hannibal is. As they are a man down, what if all doesn’t go to plan and the guys get overrun by Princes guys at first. What happens to Amy in the interim and at what point do they get the info they need. happy to have this expanded if your writers want to write a missing scene about what happens to Hannibal because of the increased delay. Maybe he gets brought out of the metal box more than we we see in the episode?

Pure Dee Poison – The guys make a run on the Moonshine still, they are about to close it down when one of Drew’s guys brings up Tawnia and Reverend Taylor’s daughter. The guys drop their weapons and are ushered towards the barn with the girls. They stop at the entrance to the barn and one of the guys makes a pass at Tawnia telling her when Drew returns, he’s going to get her alone in front of a cosy fire. He tries to touch her and she pulls away, Hannibal steps in and ushers her into the barn with the rest of them. What if, when she pulls away from his touch he gets mad, hits her and starts to drag her away from the barn shouting about what he is going to do to her. The guys try to step in to help, but they have guns pointed at them and have the safety of Reverend Taylor’s daughter to consider as well. They are then put in the barn and have to escape, not only to shut down the still but to rescue Tawnia. What happens to Tawnia, how is she when they find her and what do they do to Drew’s man?

Season Three – Fire. Hannibal sends BA of to get some sleep. As BA is leaving, Annie (the fire chief they are helping) asks if Hannibal is married, BA says who knows and leaves. They are all alone, and Annie speaks to Hannibal who is cleaning a gun. Hannibal tells her she is starting to impress him, she says ‘Just starting to’? and Hannibal replies ‘Work on me’. There is clear flirting in this scene and the conversation moves on, ending up with ‘Want to bet on it’? ‘What are you willing to put up’? The camera then cuts to BA in the fire station dorm room. Write the missing scene between Hannibal and Annie, before the Camera cuts to BA, what are they willing to put up and how far does it go?

The bells of St Mary’s – Ok I know this wasn’t the best episode, but I always thought it was fun to see all of the team flustered and slightly distracted by the girls, normally this is only Face. Hannibal makes it clear about his no fraternisation rule during a case. At the football game at the end, he tells Murdock the case is over and he wants to date the girls, he asks Murdock ‘How about it’ looking back on this I wondered exactly how far this arrangement goes and exactly what did he mean? Write a missing scene after the football game at the end where the team date the girls. Is this one on one with each member or a team enterprise!

Face Saves the Day Challenge from Lt. Starclay

I’m a little tired of all the stories in which Face is portrayed as the weakest link. So I challenge everyone to write a story in which Face saves the day. He must do this by using a skill or a talent no one on the team knew he had and he hasn’t used it in the show. There are only two rules:

1. Face can’t be seriously wounded either physically or emotionally (a little bruised mayby) but one of the others can;
2. There must be a flashback which explains how, when and why Face learned/developed the skill/talent and why. (rule nr. 1 doesn’t apply do rule nr. 2 but is must be relevant to the story. )

It can be slash, supernatural, romance etc and it can be set in Vietnam, before, during or after the series.

Hannibal-Decker Survival Challenge from Jackie

I’ve got a challenge for someone. Write a story with Hannibal and Decker having to help one another to survive. Having one or the other hurt, or maybe both hurt and they have to help one another to survive.

Bounty Hunter Challenge from Jaguar

For all the Dark Murdock fans, I’d loved to see any of the talented writers here write about what Murdock would have done to the bounty hunters if they had hurt Kelly in some way.

Dueling Monsters: Murdock vs. Stockwell Challenge from Susie

Okay if you could see me I am begging for this. But I really want this so bad. I do it myself if I knew enough about Dueling Monster from Yu-ki-oh but I don’t and I think it would make a great story. I would like For Murdock yes it must be Murdock to battle Stockwell with Dueling Monster to win the Ateam Pardons. Please if anyone knows or plays this game and knows the rules please please please.

Dandy-Dan Pec-man Challenge from Bec-won
In the episode “Champ” at the end BA and Murdock toldÊFace that he was signed up for the next Tuesday night fight (middle weight class) and that he was signed under the name Dandy-Dan Pec-man. He would be going up against Butcher Murphy. Well Face went off saying he had a hair appointment and the likes. I would like to have someone write an outcome. Did the fight happen, did Face get out of it. It could be serious or funny, just Whatever the mind wants to do.

A-Team Movie Challenge from AMJ2k
Due to the long delays of Hollywood attempting to create a big budget film of The A-Team, I am just curious if anybody has a great idea for the story just to pass the longgggg time before it ever really happens. The basic challenge for this idea is simple:

1. The story can take place before the series started, during the series, after the series ended, or avoid any continuity from the series and just be a whole new idea (Example: Rather than Amy Allen meeting and hiring the team to find her boss in “Mexican Slayride”, Amy’s first encounter with the team could involve being forced by corrupt government officials as bait to capture the team and use them for their own evil plans like a high tech bank job of some sort.)
2. The story has to stay true to the series. Language and violence is allowed but it must be down to a bare mininium. It cannot be some dramatic Miami Vice-like storyline about one of the characters dying or suffering from any sort of trauma Of course, the story cannot be complete without the usual A-Team humor.
3. The story has to focus on the whole team rather than emphasizing on one particular member.
4. Think of new ways to interpret the characters while keeping them true to the series. Some ideas would include Hannibal as an alcoholic, Murdock experimenting with drugs during Vietnam, or Amy Allen possibly being gay (See reports about why Melinda Culea left the series and you’ll realize why I said that).
5. The story must include not just the typical action from the series but also some hi-tech devices and/or weaponry. This part of the challenge, however, is not mandatory.
6. The additional characters must include a major military m.p. from the show or can be made up, a powerful villain, and a potential love interest for any of the four main characters, specifically Face. Amy Allen, Tawina Baker, or any character from the show or your own creation is allowed.
7. Finally, the story can be written in any form. It can be written as a story, screenplay, treatment, etc. Whatever works best for you.

BA As The Hero Challenge from Kathleen (nanniemouse)
Ê I looked at the results for “Who would you want under your tree” and I was shocked! Murdock won (of course), and Hannibal and Face both made a showing, but the big guy got nothing! This is just plain wrong!!! Where would the guys be without BA to build the weapon of the week? What if he weren’t there to beat up the big hairy thug? Who would go all soft and gooey when a child needed help?

So, to correct this horrible injustice, I propose a challenge. Write a story where BA is the central character. BA saves the day. BA gets the girl (or guy, if you must). BA makes the plan! He is one of the best that the special forces produced, he can build or fix anything, he is smart enough to keep up with Hannibal AND he can punch out a rhinoceros!! Just think of the potential!

Looking forward to the stories!

Kathleen (dangerous when bored)

“Rainy Days and Mondays” from Terri
In honor of it being a rainy(YAY, We need it here in Phoenix)day and Monday, I have another challange. I’m going to call it the “Rainy Days and Mondays” Challange. A character hears the song “Rainy Days and Mondays” by the Carpenters(anybody else remember them?) singing “Rainy…” and starts to think about how that song relates to them. So, choose your character. Or, write a LONG story about how that song reflects on all the members of the A-Team. The song was written and copywrited by Richard Carpenter sometime in the early 70’s. Here are the words, best as I can remember.

‘ Talking to myself and feeling old.
Sometimes I’d like to quit
Nothing ever seems to fit.

Hanging around.
Nothing to do but frown
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

What I’ve got they used to call the blues
Nothing is really wrong.
Feeling like I don’t belong.

Walkin’ around
Some kind of lonely clown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.

Funny, but it seems I always wind up here with you.
Nice to know somebody loves me.
Funny, but it seems that it’s the only thing to do.
Run and find the one who loves me.

What I feel has come and gone before.
No need to talk it out.
We know what it’s all about.

Hanging around
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy days and Mondays always get me down.
(Repeat the Chorus)

Maybe somebody will even write a BA story.

 

‘Cup a Joe’ Challenge from Beth
I was watching ‘Cup a Joe’ today and Murdock made a comment to Face that I thought might make a cute fic (if it hasn’t been done before). He was asking Face to go out to the truck to ask BA for some paprika. Face made a fuss at first so Murdock turned to him and said “Remember that girl you had me call up? Paprika!” (indicating for Face to get the spice which he did without argument after that statement). Anyone care to elaborate on that?

 

‘What Would You Build?’ Challenge from Kathleen
Here’s a brain workout. If you were the A-Team, gunrunners have surrounded you with automatic weapons, and you were trapped in a barn stocked with the stuff on the list below, what would you build? They are getting ready to burn the barn, but the A-Team law of time dilation says that you always have just enough time to finish. Your supplies:

• A forklift (completely intact)
• A 1970 Volkswagen Beetle (all the pieces are there, but it needs a tune up)
• Duct tape
• A pile of metal sheeting (the A-Team law of supply and demand says that there is always just enough for the job at hand)
• A pile of metal mesh (same law)
• Several large tarps
• A pile of pipes, in any size needed
• A barrel of gasoline
• A dozen laying hens
• A stack of bags containing feed corn
• Acetylin tanks, with necessary equipment for a torch
• A collection of tools, including lathes, band saw etc. Whatever you need.
• A pile of manure
• Numerous cans of bright orange paint
• Green spray paint
• A pile of old horse shoes
• Two old computer chairs
• An air compressor
• Nails, screws, nuts and bolts.
• Four fire extinguishers
• A cord of firewood
• A spinning wheel
• Several barrels of apples
• And assorted small items like wire, screws and clamps to hold your creation together.

It doesn’t have to be a single weapon. You don’t have to use everything. But you do have to describe this thing in detail. This does not have to be a full story, a simple, but complete, description will do. I can’t wait to see your creations!

 

Challenge Week – Challenge 6 from Jipster
OK, this is a simple exercise *eg*

Its similar to one of the previous challenges. Before, I asked you to use certain words at the beginning of sentences. This time you have to use certain words at the END of the sentences.

For example.

fire.
it.
fear.

Would work like….

Murdock looked around and saw the fire.
It was engulfing the house quickly taking everything with it.
When Murdock caught his own reflection and saw only fear.

Make sense? good 🙂 Here’s the list of words that are to finish a sentence. Remember, do not worry about ‘making’ a story. Think of this as a passage from a ‘bigger’ story. Every sentence must have the words listed below, in the same order, at the end of each sentence. Do not have extra long sentences – keep to grammer rules 🙂

Here ya go…

• quickly.
• said.
• moving.
• warehouse.
• ordered.
• it.
• fight.
• Murdock.
• message.
• again.
• in.
• Face.
• closer.
• day.

Have even more fun 🙂

Cold Shower Challenge from Huffy

Competent Foe Challenge from Quentillian’s
Now we all no how the guys are when dealing with the military. My challenge is to write a story where they go up against somebody competend, like the FBI or the SWAT teams. I know they went up against a swat team but they had the edge then. I’d like explore how they handle themselves when they are being chased by somebody that is competent at what they do. there is no word limit and I don’t want to issue a due date, but I’d say, the middle of next month at the latest, but if you wish to take this farther becuase you have now a huge story in mind then go ahead and take all the time you need.

 

Duck Challenge from Cathy
I’d like to propose a challenge. Please forgive me if someone has already written on this theme. I’ve always thought it would be interesting to see a story written about the duck hunting fiasco in the ep In Plane Sight. You know, the one where BA tells the girl about the “last time” Hannibal used his duck call and the team almost got shot by hunters? Please do try. I think this could be a great story and I’d like to see what people come up with.

Fantasy Challenge from Captain Marina

Based on a suggestion from Kim I have decided to issue a challenge to the list…something I like to call the “Fantasy Challenge.” Here is what anyone brave enough to try it has to do….write a story we’ll say no more then 1000 words…gives you someone room to play. Has to involve you and TAT member or members(if you are feeling exceptionally Kinky) playing out one of your deepest, sexist fantasies.(If you truly don’t have any fantasies, then make one up.) Ok everyone get to work…I know I will be thinking about answering this challenge myself!

Favorite TV Scene Challenge from Cap’n

Take your favorite scene from any TV show and rewrite it so one or more of
the Ateam members appears in it. How? Why? Up to you. Slash, serious,
comical….doesn’t matter.

If this has been done before I apologize. I checked the challenge section in the archive and I didn’t see one like it anywhere.

Fee Challenge from Nadia
We seen it all the time especially in Insane Wayne ep. The bad guys pay the fee before they know there paying it. A less than 500 word story that has it where The scumbag (bad guys) pay the A-team fee.

Howling Mad Schultz Week Challenge from Jips
Murdock is waiting for Face. The team have called him for a mission only Murdock is stuck as to what persona he wants to play for this mission.

The mission he’s been told is to catch a rogue door to door microwave salesman who’s been threatening old folk.

Can you come up with a persona for Murdock and explain how this persona will *help* the team or just *annoy* the mudsucka? You can write as little or as much as you like. The more inventive the better! Go on, let your imagination run riot! If your struggling for the perfect persona see if any of these personas catch your fancy….

The 2ft high mini hero: Murdock thinks he’s shrunk Microwave display Man: Murdock continuingly counts down and informs you when the food will be piping hot by going ‘ping’ a lot. Super Naked Man: well…could be fun… Incredibly tired man: k…probably gonna start drifting into the realms of Whose Line is it Anyway? territory if I continue so I’ll stop here! (The Superhero game is my fave!)

Hopefully you all get the idea!

Lulafay 45’s Story Challenge from Lulafay 45
I am not a writer. I will leave it up to one of you most gifted writers to develop it, if you wish.

• Someone is slowly poisoning Face AT LANGLEY. He gets sick then gets better, then sick again over a period of time. Everybody at Langley begins to wonder if its psychological except his symptoms are real. Fever, pain, etc. (How this takes place under all the security is for the writer’s imagination, because I don’t have one.)
• The Team finally realizes that something has to be done, so Hannibal breaks security and gets in touch with Maggie (or maybe she already knows they are alive – whatever). They “escape” and take Face to Maggie’s, she figures it out (arsenic?) and nurses him back to health.
• The Team contacts Stockwell and tells him that they are not coming back unless he finds out what’s going on and maybe, not even then. Stockwell finds the “perp” and takes care of him/her. He tells them that all is well and if they come back they will resume their original agreement.
• The Team decides to leave it up to Face.
• In a private moment, Hannibal tells Face that the Team as agreed to do whatever he decides. If he wants to go back, they will, if not, they will resume their lives pre-Stockwell. Hannibal tells Face that he is the most important person in his life. Face is astonished and sincerely touched, Hannibal explains that he considers Frankie as a very close friend and a valued member of the Team. He loves BA and Murdock and would give his life for them, he is deeply in love with Maggie and hopes to marry her one day…..but Face. He pulls down his emotional barriers and confesses to Face that he regarded Face as his son. He’s raised him since he was 16. He reminds Face of his son, Bobby, who had died at age 5. He was angry and sad for years and carried an emptiness in his heart until he met Face. He didn’t understand why God had taken his son but maybe in His great plan, there was to be another boy who needed a father and Hannibal was the one chosen. And one day after Face had come into his life, he noticed the “emptiness” had gone away. He was with Face 100% in whatever his decision was.
• – Face makes the decision to go back.
• Last scene (if you wish) Maggie and Face are alone. She notices he is down. She guesses that he really does not want to go back to Langley and she presses him for the answer :Why are you really going back? Face’s barriers go down. For Hannibal, he answers. He explains that the other day he saw Hannibal resting and the reality hit him that Hannibal was almost 20 years older than the rest of the Team. He was still in great shape now but realistically he could not keep running as long as they could. He went on to say that even though there was no guarantee, Stockwell was their only chance of them getting their pardons and he wanted the pardons—-for Hannibal. He wanted Hannibal to be able to be with Maggie and spend his years in happiness and peace and he would do everything in his power to assure that. Hannibal had loved, protected, and guided him for all these years and it was time that he (Face)reciprocated because he loved him so much. Maggie admits she figured that was his reason she wanted to hear him say it to himself. Face and Maggie’s relationship takes a turn after this as they share their love for Hannibal..

That’s it. Hope someone likes it and accepts the challenge.

Magic Mansion Challenge from Nanniemouse
I don’t know if any of you have heard of the Magic Castle. It’s a venerable old private club for magicians. They have shows there you can only attend by invitation. The Members and the performing magicians have passes they can give out to their friends and occasionally to audience members from other shows. A friend of a friend is a member, so I have been invited. The dress code is formal. I’m going Sunday.

My challenge is: Write a story where The Amazing Templeton is forced to perform at the Magic Mansion, with Murdock as his assistant. No time or length limits, he just has to use Murdock in the act.

The Man Behind The Baseball Cap Challenge from Susie
I got a challenge for you Murdockians or anyone. I would like a story on The Man Behind The Baseball Cap. It can be sad, angsty, happy, silly fluff. It can only be 200 words or more but not less.

Perry Mason/A-Team Challenge from Nadia
Have Perry Mason prove the A-Team didn’t kill Morrison.

Power Outage Challenge from Adalia
Okay, how’s this one. It’s been kicking around in my mind lately but I promised myself I wouldn’t start another fic until I finished Bedfellows successfully. This could be a comical piece or a serious one, depending, but I’ve mostly been seeing it as comical.

What would happen if the guys were hanging out in one of Face’s scammed suites – for whatever reason — and there was suddenly a power outage?

I could just imagine the interesting things that would happen while they were looking for flashlights and/or candles, etc. And then what would they do while they waited for the power to come back on?

Well, that’s the best fic idea I’ve had in a while, it should be interesting to see if anyone can do something with it.

 

Rotten Weekend Challenge from Black Fire
Hi guys… I had a slightly bizarre Saturday: one of my pet rats bit me on the foot while I was trying to get him back into his cage. If he’d attacked my hand, I would have understood, but biting my (bare, size 3-4) foot, which is hardly threatening, was quite a shocking thing to do.

Anyway, this gave me the idea for the following challenge (no idea why-maybe it’s pain that makes my creative energies work better, or maybe it’s a shock-reaction, I don’t know. It’s bizarre, anyway)

O.K. here is the challenge: write a story containing the following situations and items:

• The complete A-Team (Frankie or no Frankie, I don’t care)
• Amy AND Tawnia
• two fights (in different locations)
• Face getting knocked out because of something Amy and/or Tawnia says or does
• three helicopter crashes
• a scheme to get BA drugged and into a plane
• a raft
• a tin of peaches
• a bomb
• 7 pineapples
• a homing device hidden in a jar of strawberry jam
• chocolate
• a new personality or pet (or something like that) for Murdock
• the Corvette
• Decker
• Bad guys
• a kid-napping
• nail-varnish (purple)
• one white rat
• lyrics from one song (pref. Queen or the Doors)
• a nursery rhyme
• custard pie(s)
• the sentence “You’d better believe it, baby.”

It can be silly, sad, bizarre, serious…whatever you want. Make it as long as you want it to be, as long as it’s longer than 333 words.

Please DO try, I’d love to see if it’s possible to make anything out of this mixture.

 

Running of the Bulls Challenge from Reckless

I’m in a strange mood today, but I just read a news article about the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Now there may already be a fic in the archives involving the Running of the Bulls, but it sure sounds like being on the Jazz to me. So here goes the challenge:

Write a fic (of any length) in which one or more members of the team runs with the bulls through Pamplona. This use of the running can be done in any way, but it must be more than a toss-away line (i.e., just mentioning that a character once ran with the bulls). The fic can be of any style: angst; h/c; romance; slash/het; you name it.

Have fun.

For inspiration, here’s the news article. Photographs are in the gallery.

http://www.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/07/07/spain.bulls/index.html

 

There is no real deadline, but the Running of the Bulls lasts for eight days, so fics within a week would be timely <hint hint>.

 

Slash Challenge from Kim
Okay, here it is. I’m going through slash withdrawal, so I figured this might be a good way of feeding my addiction. Here’s the challenge: To write a slash story about your favorite couple, below are the choices of couples to choose from. I’m putting no restriction on words or pages, so however long you want. Just not something that could possible end up in a Cole’s bookstore. Being as this is slash, it can be as sexy, kinky and/or rauchy as you like. Descriptive is good, non-descriptive is also okay. Whatever you feel like. Here are the couples to choose from:

• Face and Murdock
• Hannibal and BA
• Hannibal and Maggie
• Murdock and Kelly
• Face and Davis
• Murdock and BA (for you adventurous types)
• Yourself and a member of the team. Or if you’re feeling especially naughty, more than one member.

Have fun, and be creative.

 

Song Fic Challenge from Pamela

This has been on my mind for a long time.
The challenge is simple. Write a fic based on Bon Jovi’s ‘Thank You For Loving Me’. No other rules.
Good luck!
Pamela

Bon Jovi – Thank You For Loving Me

It’s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There’s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light
Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky’s a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you’d make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me

Solo

Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes
When I couldn’t see
For parting my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn’t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips
When I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me,
For loving me

The Team is Captured from Terri
(formerly Terri’s Challenge #2)

Challange- A Team has been captured, and being held in a deep dark tunnel underground. They have no light, and no way to find their way out To make matters worse, Face has been injured and is becoming delirious with fever. Murdock, frightened over his friends memories and nightmares, retreats slightly and starts talking to Billy. Billy starts barking at Murdock in morse code, telling him how to get out of the tunnels. Problem is, the only other person who can hear Billy barking the instructions is Face, who’s caught in a nightmare between reality and memories.

 

Throwaway Line Challenge from Adalia
I think this is from the ep “West Coast Turn Around” but I’m not sure if that’s the right one. Anyway, the line I’m talking about is when Hannibal and Face are up in a chopper dropping watermelons at the bad guys’ car. The watermelons they’re dropping are part of the crop they’re trying to get to market for their client, who is being driven out of business by the bad guy. The scene starts with Face dropping a melon or two and missing, and Hannibal commenting that what Face needs is “experience” and then expertly scoring a bullseye with his own watermelon-bomb.

The challenge is to write a fic (no limits or restrictions) that explains where Hannibal got “experience” tossing watermelons out of helicopters at bad guys’ cars. *vbg*
