DANGER MOUSE:
THE SUPERIOR SQUAWKENCLUCK
WRITTEN BY ZARIUS
Right, am I me again? Is that maverick monkey off my mind? Good, let's get back to the business of filing in an epilogue to this latest caper.
Whew, what literal mouthful of mayhem and mirth today was Danger fans. I, your humble narrator, suddenly feel quite peckish with all I've seen go down as part of Professor King Kong Brunel's latest maniacal power play, and adequate redemption for our very own Professor Squwakwencluck.
"Redemption?" she asked.
"Well the narrator does have somewhat of a point Professor" replied Danger Mouse, still trapped in the body of Penfold, "The only reason I had to pack all that jam, and later the contents of that meat reactor, into my trusty assistant's tummy was because you were insistent on proving some kind of ridiculous point about who's ideas could be listened to more depending on the mind stored within"
"Yes, well it didn't quite work out that way did it Danger Mouse? I thought I made that clear when I had the epiphany near the end of the episode. That everyone deserved a chance to be heard, even if their ideas were a wee bit off-kilter"
"Oh I don't know, I still wonder if your point could stand some chance of being proven" replied Danger Mouse.
"And what does that mean?" a cross Squawkencluck responded.
"Well, the ideas Brunel offered up while possessing your body did somewhat appeal to me"
"He was only using you to gain access to those weapons in the lab" the Professor protested, flapping her arms in uncontrollable fury as she resisted the option of strangling him.
"Nevertheless, he understood my needs better than you do" Danger Mouse replied, referring to how at least Brunel was offering to let him play with Squawkencluck's inventions.
"The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the one" Penfold said, "At least that's how I think it went in Star Trek"
Squawkencluck smiled at him and gave his white fur a stroke accompanied by an affectionate purr.
"See? He totally gets it"
"Hey, I did all the work consuming that jam, why were you complimenting him?" Danger Mouse asked.
"Because you're just borrowing a little of what makes him special" Squawkencluck insisted.
"Really? So what you're trying to say that if it hadn't been for the inventions you already designed, Brunel wouldn't have been inspired to use his own off-the-wall ideas to create his little big bang machine"
"In a way, it taught me another lesson in addition to the one about inviting in any and all creative voices. This lesson taught me that everything is connected, someone's portrait of a sunset inspires someone to make a moon rise upwards, concealing us all in darkness"
"That's a rather pessimistic outlook Prof" noted Penfold.
"Not to worry dear, the darkness never lasts, that's what you're there for"
"So in order for the light to penetrate darkness, there must first be darkness, and darkness can't come without penetrating what is already made by light" Penfold replied.
"Got it in one, one can't exist without the other. It's all in balance" replied Squawkencluck.
"I guess you were the superior Squawkencluck after all" replied Danger Mouse.
"Took you long enough to admit it, now how about we switch you and my heroic hamster back so I can quickly reassess how exactly I'll wrap my hands around his body, I'd rather not start at the neck"
