The Park, Saturday Afternoon

[puppy_fair]

Well, it was a little cloudy, and a little quiet, and Zack could live with both today. It was the first day in a while that he didn't have anything in particular lined up, and so he was planning on fulling utilizing that time for a nice, casual stroll around the park. There was a duck pond, after all, and he hadn't seen ducks in just about forever.

Funny, though, how they were all asleep.

And what was with that singing he could hear, not far away? Juggle... Poof? Jiggle? What?

It was hard to figure it out when his eyes were getting all heavy like that, really.

In fact, it was maybe time... for... a nap.

If anyone happened to swing by the park today, they might notice that Zack Fair was curled up and sleeping on a bench. If they didn't happen to fall asleep as well...

Oh, Jigglypuff was just pleased as punch now. It removed the foam top of it's microphone and started to doodle rude things all over poor Zack's face.

But, you know, that's what it did.

"Jiggly!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Arpegius slung his guitar over his shoulder, raising an eyebrow and smirking faintly.

Well, his new little friend certainly was a being of many talents, wasn't it? A stunning vocalist and a stirring artist.

He certainly approved. Oh, but Jigglypuff missed a spot, which Arpegius was going to so very helpfully point out. There should be a moustache there, perhaps?

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Arpegius was just lucky he was so damn fabulous or else he'd also have a mustache. But he was fabulous so, Jigglypuff set to work drawing in a nice handlebar mustache on the kid.

"Jigglypuff?"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Very nice! Arpegius nodded, once, and then put his hands together. The jiggly one had totally earned the applause, really.

The fabulousness was natural, of course. It was difficult to be anything but when your skin was such a luscious shade of blue. Pink wasn't a skin tone he normally considered natural, but Jigglypuff wore it so much better than the human-types who were wandering around here. And it complimented his guitar beautifully.

They could be glamorous together.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Somehow they'd work together and smite all who opposed their fabulousness. Starting with a boy with stupid, stupid hair.

"Jiggly," It replied with a smug look. "Jigglypuff."

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

It was really, really stupid hair, wasn't it? Arpegius' wrinkled nose said about all that needed to be said about what he thought of that particular hairstyle.

It was so... Stupid.

Perhaps they should draw on his arms, too, just to demonstrate exactly what happened to people with stupid hair who slept through their stellar performances. Honestly, now.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Jigglypuff waved that idea off, motioning toward the pond. And the mud there. "Jiggly! Jiggly!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

... Oh, Arpegius liked the way that Jigglypuff thought.

And that was why he was leaning forward, hauling Zack up so that he was halfway slung over one shoulder, and he was making his way toward the mud.

What? It wasn't as though he was going to get that gunk on his hands.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

That would just be silly! Jigglypuff would content itself with just jumping on the kid until the mud covered his stupid hair.

"Jiggly!" It cooed eagerly.

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Aha! And there, the issue with the stupid hair was now completely solved!

Arpegius dusted his hands off. Nodded. Smirked.

He had his guitar. Jigglypuff had that microphone. Why, they could continue to make beautiful music together, the two of them.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Jigglypuff nodded seriously at him. "Jiggly. Jiggly jiggly."

Oh, it was on like Donkey Kong.

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Truer words had never been spoken!

Arpegius backed up so that he wasn't standing in that nasty, nasty Earth mud, lifted his guitar, and began to strum. The song was missing the bass guitar, the drums, and the keyboard, but who needed those when you had such a stunning vocalist?

The sort that would sing One More Time (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9fJQIrlAm8) as only a Jigglypuff could.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

"Jiggly jiggly puff!" Jigglypuff bobbed it's head in time to the beat. Oh, it could hear the missing instruments already. "Jiggly jiggly puff!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Having a space guitar helped, perhaps. Really, it was amazing the slack that this advanced interstellar technology could pick up.

Especially considering the fact that you couldn't actually hear a guitar in some of The Crescendolls' songs.

SPACE GUITAR.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Jigglypuff approved of all things from space if this was what they were all like.

"Jiggle puff puff jigglypuff."

JIGGLYPUFF.

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Well, they weren't all like Arpegius and his space guitar. But then, if the universe was entirely perfect, it would be a very boring place, indeed.

One More Time had never sounded so sweet.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Only certain people were allowed to be this fabulous, after all. They would need to make others fall asleep and write on them if they dared to try.

"Jiggly jiggly puff!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

It was a fair fate for all wannabes, wasn't it? Take that kid with the hair for example. It was obvious that he was striving for greatness. Or at least some added height.

Arpegius had to take this opportunity to strike a pose. See how fabulous he was?

Okay, back to playing.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Hey, Jigglypuff could pose too!

Look at that... ball of pink go. Like a model!

"Jiiiigglypuff jiggly!!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Really, all they were missing was a proper stage and a spotlight, it was true.

But that was fine. Arpegius knew a guy who could set them up, if they ever decided to release an album together and then tour. Now the question was, did Jigglypuff prefer touring on Earth, or was it willing to hit the road on a much larger scale? He had connections on Earth and off in the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, but not much elsewhere, really.

But then, with talent like theirs, that could all change.

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Screw that pianist, Jigglypuff could take over the vocals of 5ecret 5tar 5ystem! The small one would have to be cuter in order for this to work, of course, but it would.

Oh. It would.

"Jiggly puff, jiiiiggly! Jigglypuuuufff!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Arpegius was certain that he could talk Octave into stepping back and letting the puffster take over the vocals.

It was possible that their drummer, however, was a lost cause. They had to keep him around, of course. Thick and thin, alien abduction and all. It wouldn't do to just toss him to the wayside.

Perhaps he could be coerced to wear a paper bag...

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

A paper bag would make everything so much better. Or maybe if they dyed his hair pink... A nice soothing pink...

"Jiiiigglyyyyy!

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Pink was a good color. Pink would serve nicely, absolutely.

More strumming! And perhaps he'd put his foot up on the chest of the boy with the bad hair. See, now it looked like a proper conquest. Blue guy with epic guitar, jamming out with rotund pink rockstar, trampling the defeated wannabe underfoot.

It was a pose for the tabloids, wasn't it?

[jigglypuuuff.livejournal.com]

Jigglypuff found a good perch on his head, forcing that hair into the mud some more. That disgusting hair.

A mullet was never okay, even in Japan.

"JIGGLYPUFF!"

[harderbetter.livejournal.com]

Well, it wasn't exactly a mullet. But it looked like it could certainly make its way there if it was left to grow out, poor thing.

If they had any scissors, they could potentially fix that issue for the kid. Of course, they didn't, and so the little wannabe was going to have to suffer.

Not everyone could have the same lovely hair as Arpegius, after all.
