Chapter One
The House Without Duchess
By fancypants66
It was another typical day at Foster's while Mac and Bloo sat on the couch listening to a new CD that Mac bought and trying so desperately to ignore another one of Duchess' melodramatic ranting and complaining. Ordinarily, they would have up and left, rather than listen to Duchess' whining, but they needed to speak with Herriman.
"No, no, no!" said Duchess in her husky Hungarian accent. "Herriman, you are a useless rabbit! I have told you every single day that I want my needs attended to! Day in and day out, you give me a mediocre treatment, and you stick me in the ugliest room in this dump heap! I don't even see why I should have to share a dining room with all those freaks! Do you have any idea who I am! I am the Royal Duch-", but Herriman cut her off in mid sentence.
"YES, I KNOW!" he yelled, finally exasperated. At one point, he began to mimic her. "You are Her Royal Duchess Diamond Persnickety The First, Last, and Only! Why, I wonder, do you insist on making all of our lives a living nightmare!"
"What are you babbling on about? I make your lives better by being here! I grace you with my royal presence!"
"Yeah, and you make us sick with your royal presence as well" chuckled Bloo.
Duchess completely ignored him.
"I want to have a better room or else I'll-",
"You'll what? Well!" yelled Herriman
"I'll leave!" sneered Duchess. "I'll leave for good!" With that, Duchess left the room, ranting and huffing about.
♫What will Herriman do? What will Herriman do? What will Herriman♫-hokay, that's quite enough!
