OrangeShoeSevenAide, Wednesday Afternoon

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

Jerry! They had a store, Jerry! It was such a lovely day for a store.

They should make sure that their store was extra-frendiperous. By polishing all of the guitars with ice cream. Ice cream made everything sparkle.

Jerry and Jerry loved their store. And the tiny hedgehog-flavored nightgowns. And the singing bass fish that Jerry was engaged to. And the donkeys, who drowned.

One Jerry looked for their bottle of rum under the couch while the other Jerry found more hair spray, so they could get back to polishing.

Just another day in Jerryland.

(For once specific guest ...)

From under one of the display tables came a sound like bells.

[sizzler-sisters.livejournal.com]

"Jerry!" said one Jerry, jumping up into the air.

"Yes, Jerry?" cried the other, who was still on his hands and knees looking for rum under the couch.

"Do you hear that, Jerry?"

Both listened.

"Why, it must be Christmas!" said one Jerry ecstatically.

"I wonder what the Easter Ghost has brought us!"

"We should check our shoes immediately!"

One Jerry wandered over to the display table that was making the noise. "Come out, St. Patrick! We have a flag for you!"

"Trick-or-travel-size!" said the other, still looking for his rum. It just wasn't Hanukwanzaa without rum, after all.

The bell noise stopped suddenly with a metallic clatter and several strung together spoons slid out from under the table. Almost as soon as they stopped sliding, they started to get dragged back under the table.

"Jerry!" the nearest Jerry said happily. "It is the spoon fairy!"

"Why, Jerry! It's not even winter yet!"

"I'm going to catch him! I'll get the wishes!"

"Make a wish for me!"

"Only if you ask nicely!"

"But your birthday's closer than mine!"

"Jerry! You're right! We'll split the spoon fairy!"

"I haven't had spoon fairy pie in ages," the other Jerry sighed happily.

The first Jerry, being none too bright - as they were both Jerries and all - grabbed onto one of the spoons and laid very still, hoping he would be pulled under with them into the magical land of the spoon fairy.

The other Jerry was still looking for the rum.

Whatever was under the table wasn't strong enough to pull Jerry under so there was just some strong tugging instead.

This was followed by a low growl.

The growl was followed by a small, green face full of sharp pointy teeth.

What followed from there was a bite to Jerry's hand to make him drop the spoon.

"Ow! He bit me! Jerry! He bit me!" Jerry jumped up and began running around the room, screaming.

"Jerry! Nooooooo!" The other Jerry, now armed with a bottle of rum, launched over to attack whatever had bitten his sister Jerry.

"Avenge me!" Jerry screamed. He then fell over, frothing at the mouth. Not because of the gremlin bite, but because he stopped to chew up some Alka-Seltzers that he found on the floor while running and screaming.

"Have at you!" the other Jerry announced, smashing the bottle of rum on the edge of the display table. He wasn't planning on using the broken bottle as a weapon; he was just not terribly bright. (See above in re: Jerry.) "No! My rum! You fiend!"

Dragging a few spoons behind it, the gremlin jumped out from under the table with the rest clutched to its chest.

It hissed at Jerry and then ran straight at him. If Jerry didn't move, he was going to get such a bite on the ankle.

Jerry flailed ineffectively, spilling rum from the bottle without it actually connecting anywhere near the gremlin. The gremlin might, however, end up getting some rum on him, if he wasn't careful.

And then Jerry was bitten.

"Nooooo!" he howled. "Jerry! I have died, Jerry! The mushroom fairy has eaten me!"

"I will avenge you, Jerry!" cried the other Jerry, who was still lying on the floor pretending to be dead.

"Avenge me! Jerry! You must!"

Jerry collapsed in a melodramatic heap. As you do.

This place was too crazy for the gremlin. He did not want to see what happened to these humans once the venom kicked in.

Licking rum off of one of his spoons, he collected the trailing ones before heading to the back of the store and out through the hole he'd made to get inside.

A few minutes later, Francois stood up. "Jacques!" he cried.

"Francois!" Jacques announced. "What are we doing in this store?!"

"We will be late for our deliveries, Jacques! We have no pelts!"

"Francois! Fetch the canoe!"

Don't ask how they found a canoe. You don't want to know.

The two clearly insane people lounge singers sisters trappers found their usual fur clothing and their club, and situated themselves in their canoe.

Soon, they were rowing down the streets of Fandom, cheerily singing.

"Aaaaaaaalouette, gentile Alouette,
Alouette, je te plumerai!"
