"Is anyone out there?" Flagg turned to Kirby.
"No. And remind me again why you want to mix
up Kauvara's morphing potions." Kirby sighed as he switched an Aisha morphing
potion with a Chia one.
"Because it's fun to cause trouble!" He switched
the rest and then grabbed Flagg. "Let's go!" He ran out, just as Kauvara came
in. She looked around.
"Is anyone here?" When no one answered she shrugged
and picked up the morphing potions. Kirby was watching, and grinned as she left.
"I can't wait to see the results. Let's go home!"
He ran and practically dragged Flagg to the bus stop. He hopped onto the bus
roof without paying. This time the ticket manager didn't notice, and Kirby got
away.
"And remind me why you never pay?"
"Who wants to? Besides, it's not like I'm actually
IN the bus. Oh look, we're here." Flagg looked and saw Kirby was right.
"How do the buses get here so fast? Do they
use some sort of super secret technology that I can use-er, understand?" Kirby
shook his head
"Nah. It's just driven by a Kau who loves to
speed." He hopped off and went by the driver, who was shouting at everyone.
"Come on, come on! Move move move!" Just as
a Koi barely stepped out, the Kau slammed his hoof on the pedal, zooming off
at 100 miles per hour. "FEEL THE SPEED!"
"Mixed up the morphing potions, eh?" Kirby looked
up from his dinner at soggydude.
"How did you know?"
"Who else?" He pushed a copy of the Neopian
Times to Kirby, who read the title.
MORPHING POTION DISASTER!
Kirby grinned. "Wasn't me!"
"Please. That grin totally gives it away." Kirby
frowned.
"How about this?"
"Nope. But I don't mind. Long as you don't get
ME into trouble." Kirby flashed a thumb-up to Flagg who rolled his eyes. Kirby
gobbled his dinner down and ran out, holding onto Flagg.
"Now you get to see Kirby in action!"
"What action?"
"The Late Night Kirby on the Fence show. Can't
let my fans down you know."
"Fans?"
"Well, mostly stray pets and the occasional
insomniac. But it's great fun. I tell jokes, dance, take an occasional request
for a song to sing, whatever comes on my mind." Flagg nodded as much as he could.
"And you can get tired right?" Kirby seemed
to think about this.
"Yeah, my show's on until four in the morning."
Flagg snickered evilly.
"Excellent. My plan is working."
"Why do you keep talking to yourself?" Flagg
was caught off guard.
"Um…I…uh…look, the fence!" Flagg had pointed
to the first one he had seen. Luckily for him it was the right one.
"Good. Now you sit and watch." Kirby set Flagg
near the front with some instantly created chairs, such as trashcans and big
mounds of dirt. He got up on the fence and waited as his old fans came by and
some curious pets dropped in. When he thought the crowd was decent, he cleared
his throat.
"You know, a funny thing happened to me on the
way to the fence…"
3:58 AM...
The pets in the crowd clapped as Kirby finished
dancing.
"Great one!"
"You got the time?" Kirby looked at the nearby
houses.
"No, but I can get it." He began to sing very
loudly, and slightly off-tune. Instantly a window opened an a grumpy sounding
Tonu yelled, "IT'S 3:58! GO TO BED!" Kirby turned to the Quiggle who had asked.
"3:58 is the current time." The pets laughed.
"Sing another song!" This came from a Shoyru
in the back.
"Sure!" Kirby took a drink from the glass of
Neocola by the fence and cleared his throat.
"This one is-" He was stopped as a pet yelled
out.
"POUND TRUCK!" Instantly every stray pet ran
off. Kirby sighed as the pound worker got out.
"HEY! MORON!" The pound looker looked over,
but before he did, Kirby hopped behind the fence and put a realistic looking
dummy on the fence.
"A stray pet, eh?"
"STOP SCARING OFF THE GUESTS!" The pound worker
sneered.
"Soon there won't be an entertainer to attract
them here!" He swung his net at the dummy, and it exploded, covering him in
chewed-up bubble gum. Instantly Kirby popped up and threw rotten tomatoes at
the worker.
"Wanna bet?" He took a pie that he had swiped
from the Carnival of Terror and hit him. The Grarrl was knocked back. He staggered
and fell, catapulting Flagg right into Kirby's arms.
"I'LL GET YOU!" The Grarrl seemed to be confused
by the effects of the pie, and stumbled around, swinging his net around.
"Time to leave!" He held onto Flagg's foot and
ran, the pound worker's yells echoing all over the city. Flagg was dragged in
the air and looked at Kirby.
"How long until we get home?"
"Soon." Kirby was too excited to fall asleep,
and made it home faster then before. "Shame that stupid pound worker scared
everyone off. Oh well." He opened the door and sneaked in, carefully going past
soggydude who had fallen asleep at the kitchen table. He sneaked up the stairs
and into his room. He put Flagg on a small table.
"Night." Kirby fell asleep instantly, and Flagg
grinned evilly.
"Excellent." He hopped of the table and onto
Kirby's head. He paused, and suddenly Kirby stood up. But he was still asleep,
and Flagg was in control. He directed Kirby to his wall, and pushed hard. A
room behind it, which he had quickly created a few days ago using only his feet.
A small part of the wall slid open, and Flagg controlled Kirby to get him inside.
Right in front of him was a large machine. "Now I can contact the Fuzzle army!"
He was about to get Kirby to start it up, when a loud crash from outside came
right into the room. There was a slamming of doors, then…
"HEY! WHERE DID YOU LEARN TO DRIVE? TYRANNIA?"
"OH YEAH? WHAT ABOUT YOU, MR. I'LL-JUST-TALK-ON-MY-STUPID-CELL-PHONE?"
"I WOULDN'T BE TALKING, MR. I-DON'T-KNOW-HOW-TO-DRIVE!"
"Oh no," Flagg moaned. If Kirby woke up he wouldn't
be able to control him. But for a strange reason, Kirby didn't awaken.
"SHUT UP!"
"YOU SHUT UP!"
"YOU!"
"YOU TIMES A HUNDRED!"
"YOU TIMES INFINITE!"
"YOU TIMES…uh…INFINITE AND ONE!"
"THERE IS NO SUCH NUMBER!"
"YES THERE IS!" A loud police siren came into
the air.
"THIS IS THE POLICE. PLEASE BE QUIET!"
"MAKE US!" There were loud noises, and then a
cop spoke up.
"HEY CHARLEY, HOW DO YOU TURN THE MEGAPHONES
OFF?"
"I DON'T KNOW. TRY PUSHING THE BUTTON ON THE
LEFT."
"TRIED IT, IT JUST MAKES IT LOUDER!"
"I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE!"
"YOU THINK WE WOKE ANYONE UP?" Sounds of windows
opening came to Flagg, and he looked at Kirby, who was still asleep.
"YES YOU DID! POLICE ARE SUPPOSED TO HELP! SO
ALL OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!" Loud sobbing noises came from the area.
"OH SURE, WE DO OUR JOBS, BUT NOOOO! YOU HAVE
TO CRITICISE US! WELL WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT US?"
"GET MORE SLEEP! FIRST THAT CAR THING-OH, AND
THAT STUPID LUPE ON THE FENCE!" Flagg was thrown off as Kirby awoke.
"I AM NOT STUPID! I HELP ENTERTAIN!"
"OH YEAH? WELL ENTERTAIN ME BY SHUTTING UP!"
"DON'T GET ON MY BAD SIDE BUDDY!"
"CHARLEY? ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO TURN THIS OFF?"
"What's all the noise?" Flagg and Kirby whirled
around to see soggydude with his flame-thrower. Flagg was wondering how he got
here, but he didn't want to ask.
"That moron over there is insulting me!"
"AND I BET YOUR OWNER IS JUST AS BAD!" Soggydude
rushed to the window.
"OH YEAH? THAT'S IT, PREPARE TO MEET MR. FLAME-THROWER!"
He ran out of the room, and down the stairs. Soon-
"OUT OF MY WAY, I GOT A NEOPET TO TORCH!"
"SORRY SIR, BUT WE CAN'T ALLOW YOU IN THE NAME
OF-OUCH! CHARLEY, HE TORCHED THE MEGAPHONE and IT'S beginning TO melt!"
"DON'T WORRY, I GOT ANOTHER ONE!" A loud cluttering
noise followed. "TRY TO CATCH IT!"
"HOW COULD I WITH YOUR THROW?"
"IT WAS YOUR CATCH! AND FURTHERMORE-HEY, WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?"
"I'M COMING OUT HERE TO SEE THE INFAMOUS MR.
FLAME THROWER! THAT DOESN'T SCARE ME!"
"OH YEAH? BURN BABY BURN!"
"OUCH! OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH! HELP! YOU'RE COPS,
STOP HIM!"
"OKAY!" BANG BANG BANG BANG!
"SHOOT AT ME AND GET A MELTED RAINBOW GUN!" Yet
another loud noise came from outside.
"OWIE! HE BURNED MY HAND!"
"GET ANOTHER ONE CHARLEY!"
"GET HIM!" BANG BANG BANG BANG!"
"TORCH THE RAINBOW GUN!" Flagg groaned as the
noise of the melting Rainbow Gun drifted through the window.
"Why did I ever put a window here?"
"CHARLEY, HE BURNED MINE TOO!"
"YOU TWO SHALL PAY WHEN I RULE NEOPIA!" Kirby
stuck his head out.
"THAT WHAT YOU GET, FOR INSULTING ME!"
"OH YEAH, WIMP? OUCH! OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH! I
DIDN'T MEAN IT!"
"YOU SHALL SUFFER TOO!"
"REQUESTING BACKUP! I REPEAT, REQUESTING-ARRRGGHH!
STOP MELTING EVERYTHING!"
"NEVER!" A loud slamming noise came from another
house.
"WHAT'S ALL THE NOISE FOR?"
"SORRY MA'AM, WE'RE TRYING TO RESTRAIN THIS INSANE
OWNER-HEY!"
"NEVER CALL ME INSANE!"
"AND TRYING TO HELP THIS TONU OVER HERE!"
"I'M NOT TORCHING HIM YET!"
"WELL, ALL OF YOU QUIET! I DON'T WANT TO HAVE
TO LISTEN TO SOME STUPID WANNABE RULER…HEY! GET AWAY FROM ME! OUCH! OUCH OUCH
OUCH OUCH! HEEEEELLLLLPPP!"
"WANNABE? WANNABE? DID YOU SAY I'M A WANNABE
RULER?"
"HELP! POLICE!"
"IN THE NAME OF THE LAW, PLEASE PUT DOWN THE
FLAME THROWER!"
"NEVER! I SHALL TORCH YOU!" Silence. "UHH…MUST
OF RUN OUT."
"GET HIM!"
"GET HIM!"
"GET HIM!"
"GET HIM!"
"I'LL WHACK YOU ALL WITH MY TRUSTY FLAME THROWER!
IT DOESN'T NEED GASOLINE!" Loud fighting noises came from the streets through
the window. Kirby grinned.
"I love it when this happens. It's so entertaining."
SCREEEECCCCCHHH! Kirby watched as a large truck stopped, and fell over.
Instantly the driver leaped out.
"ARE YOU PEOPLE INSANE!"
WHACK!
"HEY!"
"NEVER CALL ME INSANE!" A big pause followed.
"A GASOLINE TRUCK!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"NO!"
"YES!" The sound of soggydude filling up the
flame-thrower came through, and Flagg rolled his eyes.
"It was more peaceful in space!" Kirby turned
to him impatiently.
"Shhh! Quiet!"
"I SHALL TORCH YOU ALL!"
"EEEEEEEEEKKK! HE CAN'T TORCH MY HAIR! I JUST
HAD IT DONE A FEW HOURS AGO!"
"OH YEAH?"
FOOOOSSSSHHHH!
"HOW DARE YOU!"
SLAP!
"I DO WHAT I WANT!"
WHACK!
"OKAY PEOPLE, BREAK IT UP!"
"NEVER!"
WHACK!
"OWIES!"
WHACK!
"WHY YOU-"
FOOOSSSHHH!
"BACKUP! BACKUP! HELP!"
"THAT'S SO PITIFUL! YOU NEED BACKUP JUST TO HANDLE
ME?"
"SHUT UP!"
"MAKE ME!" More fighting noises. Kirby turned
and saw Detective.
"Hey Detective. Come watch the show."
"What's happening down there?"
"Oh, soggydude's just relieving anger. Come on,
there's two Chia police, a Tonu, him, and a Kyrii! Oh, and a Skeith. And it
looks like an Aisha is coming in." Flagg looked at Detective and wondered how
everyone was getting in here.
"CAN I GET A FEW HOURS OF SLEEP?"
"NO!" FOOOSSSSSHHH!"
"OUCH! POLICE, STOP HIM!"
"THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING!"
FOOOSSSSHHH!
"HEY!"
"THAT'S IT! NO MORE NICE AISHA!" Loud fighting
noises erupted.
"USING CLAWS EH?"
More FOOOSSSSHHHH noises.
"HEY! THAT HAS LONGER RANGE! NO FAIR!"
"TOO BAD!"
"MY GASOLINE! YOU USED IT!"
"OH SHUT UP YOU FAT OLD IDIOT!"
"I AM NOT FAT!"
WHACK!
"ACCEPT THE TRUTH!"
FOOOSSSSHHH!
"HIT 'EM WITH THE NIGHT-STICK CHARLEY!"
WHACK! WHACK!
"SUFFER!"
FOOOSSSSHHH! FOOOOSSSSHHH!
"FIRST YOUR PET, NOW YOU? THAT'S IT! TIME FOR
A TONU CHARGE!" Loud running noises drifted through, then a hitting noise.
"OH, SO YOU WANT IT THAT WAY?"
"FOOOOSSSSSHHHH!"
"MY HAIR! YOU TOUCHED THE HAIR!" WHAM WHAM WHAM!"
"I DON'T CARE HOW HARD YOUR HAIR IS, IT CAN'T
WITHSTAND THIS!"
FOOOOSSSSSHHHH! More sobbing noises.
"MY HAIR! WWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
"SHUT UP YOU BIG BABY!"
"I AM NOT A BABY! NEOPETS PAINTED WITH BABY PAINT
BRUSHES ARE JUST AS SMART AS REGULAR NEOPETS!"
WHACK!
"BE THANKFUL I DIDN'T TORCH YOU FOR THAT BORING
LECTURE!"
"I'M LEAVING!" Running noises were followed with
a slam.
"HEY CHARLEY, I HAVE AN IDEA!"
"WHAT?"
"EVERYONE GET THE INSANE OWNER!" Whacking, whamming,
fooshing, smacking, and generally fighting noises drifted up. Detective put
his head in his paws.
"Why me?" He left. Flagg looked at the scene
below.
"THAT'S IT! I'm leaving!" Kirby turned around.
"You can't! You're my only friend!" Flagg looked
touched.
"Really?"
"Yeah. School hasn't started yet."
"Make new friends. Bye!" He hopped down.
"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!" Flagg sighed.
"Why would I want to stay? First, I've got to
go with you! Then, look at this! It's uncivilised, chaotic, stupid, pointless…violent…and…just
like where I came from!" He quickly thought. It wasn't as if the Fuzzle army
needed him, and why risk getting zapped to pieces, when…
"Well?"
"Looks like I found my new home!" Kirby grinned.
"I knew you'd stay. Now let's look outside."
He lifted Flagg and placed him on the window sill.
"Popcorn?" Flagg stared as Kirby took out a bowl
of buttery popcorn.
"Where'd you get that?" Kirby shrugged.
"Look at the excitement!" They watched as soggydude
knocked out the last Chia cop.
"That was fast." Kirby pointed over the hills.
"Yes, but he hasn't seen the backup yet…"
The End
