In and Around the Woods, Sunday Afternoon

[fh_spareparts]

The shadows didn't want to budge. They liked it here, and they liked their toys, and maybe they would like to reach out, sometime, and bring in more...

Because the island would let them do that, wouldn't it?

It would be oh-so-cosy.

Billy turned and fixated its glowing eye firmly on Tip. "ᴡʜᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ sᴇᴇ, ʏᴏᴜ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ɴᴏᴛ ɢᴇᴛ," he crowed.

Bring it..

"Oh my god, you really never shut up, do you."

Tip bounced on her toes a moment, then charged, sword aimed for the space behind its gills.

Or where gills would be on an actual fish, anyway.

Unfortunately, on this fish, they were largely cosmetic - and backed up by metal. To put insult to injury, the small groove her sword left in its side remained there for only a few moments.

Then it glowed bright and filled itself back in.

Billy would not let this stand. Billy retaliated... though for once, not through his mouth.

THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS. YES IT JUST GOES ON AND ON MY FRIENDS...

"Oh come on!"

Tip was not best pleased to see her handy-work disappear right away like that, no.

And the singing -- the singing.

That was just cruel.

She hacked at its eye this time, screaming the words to the Boov stickyfish song:

"Stickyfish, O stickyfish, You pink 'n stinkin' icky fish, O please accept my invitation to GET THE HELL OUT OF this awesome nation!"

Some people started singing it not knowing what it was...

The fish twisted and spit, trying to shove Tip away from it while it sent confetti flying everywhere.

And they'll never stop singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends!

Tip fell backwards into a tree, smacking her head against the trunk.

And she thought she hated this thing before.

"Stickyfish, O stickyfish, you fucking goddamned singing fish, We set you on fire by the sea, NOW GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME."

Billy lumbered closer, the old footage of Theron being chased by a Roomba now projected a story tall as he neared. His eyes glittered with plastic, fish-y rage.

Re: Something Wicked This Way Comes

"That is not getting away," Tip pointed out.

And jabbed at that plastic, fishy eye one more time.

Re: Something Wicked This Way Comes

The fish spat a small mountain of confetti all over her, shrieking Beatie Boys in rage and pain before starting to lumber-hop off.

Tip rolled away, spitting confetti, and glared after it.

"That's right!" she shouted. "And this time, stay gone!"
