Author's Note: This is (ba dum ba) the fic you've all been waiting for. A PONG fic. Ya. On with it.
Disclaimer: Gee, I don't even know who really owns Pong. But it certainly isn't me. I also don't own Atari.
Title: The Day We Quit
Chapter 1: The Only Chapter
It was a lovely day out on the Pong field. The color was bright, the atmosphere cheery, until the left paddle entered.
The left paddle (from now on we will call him Lefty) brought huge, gigantic rain clouds over the field and made the ball feel nervous.
"Where's Righty?" yelled Lefty.
Pixels (the ball) shivered. "Not here yet, Your Greatness."
It was evident that in this Pong-y society, Lefty ruled.
"NOT HERE?" rumbled Lefty. "Where is he then?"
"I...I don't know, Your Highness," chittered Pixels.
"FIND HIM!" roared Lefty, and Pixels hid under his pixilated arms.
"Yes, Your Majesty," twitted Pixels. "At once, Your Majesty."
And Pixels scurried off the screen.
By now, the child who is attempting to play the game is getting very annoyed, and of course cannot hear Lefty and Pixels, so has no idea why the game is having a problem.
"START!" screams the little kid. "START!"
Anyway, back to the Pong fellows...
Pixels was having a difficult time finding Righty. He happened to wander over to the shower area. Muffled singing and the splashing of water could be heard from the area.
"Righty?" called Pixels timidly. "Is that you?"
"Hey Pixels!" said a voice from the nearest shower. "I'm just getting ready. Are we up yet?"
"We've been up for a while! C'mon, get out of there!"
"Shoot!" could be heard echoing around the shower room, and after a minute, Righty emerged from the shower.
"How do I look?" asked Righty.
"Like you always do!" shouted Pixels. "Now let's go; Lefty is really angry."
Righty moaned softly. It seemed like Lefty was always in a bad mood lately.
Meanwhile, the kid threw his Atari joystick to the ground and jumped up and down on it.
Echoes of "DIE, ATARI, DIE!" could be heard all around the house.
... o.O
Anyway...
The second that Righty and Pixels entered the field was the second that it completely blacked out. Total darkness engulfed them all. In short, all heck broke loose.
"That's it!" shouted Lefty. "I QUIT!"
Lefty threw an imaginary hat on the ground and stomped on thin air.
Pixels said, "But I never knew you wore a hat," and Lefty trilled meaningless nonsense. Righty thought about how dirty he was getting and wanted to take another shower. Pixels was upset by all this madness and he too shouted "I QUIT!" Righty was soon to follow.
And that was the day they all quit.
The End.
I know that was very random, and if you don't think so, see my story A Long Way From Sanity. That story is truly random.
Anyway, I might use Lefty, Righty, and Pixels in another Pong fic. Maybe. I'm not sure. Right now I'm trying to get Pony Ride! updated... +.+ It's taking forever. Sigh.
Bye!
