High Noon...Er, Five
"Do-do-do, do do do."
The town of Dresserland was barren, the Colognes and
Concealors and all the other families having taken refuge in
Jewelry Box Hall. A tumblecottonball blew across the empty street
as if running to find a place to hide.
"Clink, clink, clink, clink."
The sound of spurs cut a swath through the silence. The
families hidden in Jewelry Box Hall peered out nervously as the
town clock began to strike high noon.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong... oh, bugger it."
The families hidden in Jewelry Box Hall peered out nervously
as the town clock finished striking five. A pink figure appeared
in the west, his unblinking eyes landing on the grey figure that
stood in the east. They stared at each other for several long
seconds before they began to approach one another.
"Do-do-do, do do do."
The pink and grey fluff met in the center of Dresserland and
turned their backs to one another. The families hidden in Jewelry
Box Hall shook with fear until the Hall fell of the side of the
world because they shook too much and they all died. The grey
animal looked doefully at where the Hall had been, an expression
of sadness on his cute face, but inside he was laughing with
maniacal glee. He began to speak.
"I'm going to tell you the rules because I can speak and
all you can do is oink. We take ten paces away from each other,
then turn around firing, got it?"
The pink stuffed porker quaked in fear, but answered
none-the-less.
"Oink."
The tumblecottonball blew across Dresserland again because the
sky forgot to shut the window. Undaunted, the pig and the donkey
squared off, then began their forward march to see who would be
the ultimate survivor.
"One, two, three, four, fivesixseveneightnineten."
The pig spun as quickly as the fat fluffer could on its stubby
legs, but the donkey was quicker. With a savage roar, the grey
mass pounced on the oinker and began choking the stuffed-life out
of him.
"Diediediediediediediediedie."
The pink one squirmed and wiggled and squealed, well, like a
pig, but it was no use. The donkey was too strong. With a dying
puff of dust, the pig let out a few final words.
"Bury me with the Slayer's knickers."
And then Mr. Gordo died. Eeyore jumped on the dead stuffed
animal several more times just to make sure he was really dead,
and then a few more times because it was fun.
"Goodbye, mate. It's been a joy. But this dresser is only
big enough for one of us, and that one is me."
The donkey pushed the body of the pig to the edge of
Dresserland and over into the Knicker Drawer of Hell. Eeyore
watched as Mr. Gordo landed in the fiery pits of black and red
lace, bounced once and was still. A second later, the grey
stuffed fluffer threw himself over the edge, because Hell looked
like a really sexy place to be.
"Do-do-do, do do do."
The sounds of grunting and braying filled Hell as Mr. Gordo
came back to life and sixty-nine'd Eeyore. Soon, the grey donkey
was shagging the pink pigs piggy brains out-
"Spike, what are you doing?"
Spike slammed the dresser drawer shut and growled when he
caught his fingers. He reopened the drawer, pulled out his
fingers and shut it again. He gave the blond woman glaring at him
an innocent look.
"Er..."
