Hi again! Here's another one! Thanks to False Fortune for being the first to review my stories!
P.S. For those who don't know who Mr. Moti is, he's the turban guy behind the counter in Domina (the one who manages the save point)
-All's Well, Ends Well-
How did Miss Yuka get hold of Pee-wee? Here's my own version, which is a parody of Hans Christian Andersen's tale, "All's Well That Ends Well"
Starring:
Miss Yuka as the poor farmer
Mr. Moti as the wife of poor farmer
Pee-wee as the stunted applesocks
Niccolo as the merchant
Somewhere in Domina…
"MISS YUKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
A man wearing a gray turban and clothes was screaming at the top of his voice. A harried-looking canary ran up to him and said, "WhatsdamatterMrMoti?"
The man shot her a confused look and asked, "Would you care to repeat that?"
Miss Yuka sighed and slowly replied, "Whats. The. Matter. Moti."
"Huh? That doesn't make sense," Moti remarked. He was about to ask again when he shouted, "WHY THAT YELLOW FRIKIN' BIRD! I'LL GET YOU!"
Miss Yuka glared and shrieked, "WHY YOU FUCKING BASTARD! NO ONE GETS AWAY WITH CALLING ME A FREAK!" She started scratching at him with her talons (does she have talons?) and used bird kung fu on him.
"!"
Mr. Moti screamed behind the counter. "NO, MISS YUKA! NOT YOU! I WAS REFERING TO THE CHOCOBO YOU BOUGHT DURING UNDINE DAY!"
Miss Yuka stopped pecking at him and said, "Oh…" She stared at the room near the counter. In there was a chocobo, which was jumping around and messing up the room. It scratched at the walls, tore at the sheets, and shed feathers everywhere (or was that the pillows?).
Mr. Moti (who was applying salve to himself) continued, "It was nothing but trouble ever since you got it. And it's messing up the inn. As a result, we have 5 mattresses that need new springs (A/N: In other words, it needs to be replaced), 6 de-featherized pillows, 10 torn bed sheets, and missing chunks of wallpaper. I other words, we have to replace 5 mattreses, 6 pil—"
Miss Yuka cut him off and said, "I know, I know." She sighed and said, "I shouldn't have kept it here. I'm leaving it outs—"
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Mr. Moti exclaimed. "It will dig up the garden, tear off the fence, and—"
"Okay, Okay, FINE!" Yuka sighed in resignation. "I'll depart for the marketplace, go to the monster trading area and find a suitable replacement for Boko. OKAY?"
She somehow caught the naughty bird and left the inn, leaving a satisfied and happy Mr. Moti behind.
On the way to the Marketplace in Domina…
Miss Yuka heaved a sigh. The chocobo was very stubborn; it would not let her ride on it. It was not cooperative either; it would not budge, so she had to drag it the whole way.
On the way to the market, she saw a man, which was followed by a Land Dragon. The dragon happily tagged along with his master. She thought that the dragon will be a behaved pet and a good guard against thieves. So, she approached him and asked, "Would you like to trade that dragon for my chocobo?"
The man, thinking that he'll be able to ride the chocobo, was delighted at the offer. And so, they traded animals.
Miss Yuka could've gone home at this point, but she was eager to check out the marketplace.
However, same cannot be said for the man, for his chocobo would not budge an inch.
Upon reaching the marketplace…
Miss Yuka finally reached the market, with the dragon tagging along. She saw a variety of animals, including a skeleton, zombie, and a succubus.
It was when she saw a certain beast by the name of Chimera that she stopped.
Miss Yuka stared at the Chimera Beast. It would be a good guard against those thieves. And it looks like an exotic animal, and it's even more intimidating than the dragon she had. Wow! The depth of the growl, the piercing eyes…it was menacing enough for Miss Yuka's taste. "Let's trade my Land Dragon for that Chimera!"
The owner, too happy to oblige, traded the beast for the dragon.
Miss Yuka was happy. But she still wanted to look around for better animals. So she weaved her way into the middle of the market.
A little further…
Miss Yuka was getting bored. This time, she saw some Rabites, Stinger Bugs and bunch of other boring monsters.
But when she saw a Lullabud, she jumped for joy. She was thinking of the seeds she can get from the plant. She also knew that Lullabuds were hard to catch and are very rare.
She approached the woman with the Lullabud and said, "Would you care to swap?" gesturing to the Chimera.
The woman was glad over the trade and immediately exchanged pets.
On the way home (finally!)…
Miss Yuka spotted an elf with violet hair trudging towards the marketplace. He was dragging a sack with him.
She asked, "Young man, what are you carrying there?"
The elf replied, "A bag of stunted Applesocks. My mistress ordered me to throw 'em away."
"What did you say? Stunted Applesocks to the Junkyard! But that's wasteful!" she exclaimed. "There lots of things you could do with them!"
"Yes ma'am. But I was also instructed to sell an—"
"Would you like to trade?" Miss Yuka pointed at the sack and at the Lullabud.
The elf cleared his throat. "Yes, ma'am. But there's—"
But Miss Yuka left him already.
"—an egg in that sock."
Miss Yuka was entered the inn. She saw that Mr. Moti's desk was empty. There was a Post-it stuck on the desk. It said, 'Went to the market. Trying to find new bedsheets, pillows, etc.'
Miss Yuka stationed herself behind the desk when a rabbit-eared merchant went in the door.
The rabbit dropped his belongings on the floor. He went up to Miss Yuka and asked, "Could I have a room please?"
"That would be 500 lucre," she said. The merchant handed over the money. She consulted the list of rooms available, only to find out that the only space available was the room that the chocobo ruined.
She sighed, handed back the money and said, "Sorry sir, but there are no more rooms available. Our spare room was destroyed by a monster, so…"
Niccolo said, "May I know why this happened?"
The bird told him the whole story, from the mischievous chocobo to the stunted applesocks.
Niccolo remarked, "Wouldn't your companion be upset about those trades, trading a chocobo for a bunch of stunted apples? I mean, the fall in value might—"
The canary shook her head and said, "No, he wouldn't be angry. He will probably say, 'Boy, am I glad you got rid of that freaking bird!' "
"Want to place a bet?" asked the merchant. "I'm willing to bet any amount of money."
"Oh, just 5000 lucre, for the repairs." Replied Miss Yuka. "I have nothing else to bet that much, so I guess I'll bet the stunted applesocks. Deal?"
"Deal."
I think if Mr. Moti didn't arrive at that moment, the two of them would've spit on their hands/wings and high-fived.
"So, what happened, Miss Yuka?" he asked.
"Along the way, I traded the chocobo for a Land Dragon" she replied.
"Wow, that's great! Now we have a guard for those pesky thieves!" he exclaimed.
"But I don't have it anymore. I traded it for a Chimera beast."
"That's even better! It looks more intimidating than a dragon!"
"Well, I don't have it anymore. I traded it for a Lullabud."
"That's very nice! Now, we can have our own orchard from the seeds of that plant!"
"But, I traded it for a bag of stunted applesocks!"
Mr. Moti blinked. "Is that so? It doesn't matter: I like applesocks. Besides, I'm glad you got rid of that freaking bird!"
Niccolo sighed. "I guess I lost the bet. Here's 5000 lucre." He left the inn, feeling embarrassed.
As Mr. Moti was about to ask what's going on, he heard a shuffle coming from the back of the desk. "W-what was that?" he asked.
Miss Yuka, noticing the shuffle, went behind the desk, only to find an Aerial egg coming out of the bag.
"Aww… Isn't that cute?" she said. She scooped the egg into her arms and said, "I'm gonna name it Peewee!"
Mr. Moti, clueless as ever, never bothered asking Miss Yuka about the egg, the merchant, and the lucre.
At least, they don't have to worry about the repairs.
12/02/11: The end, for now.
