Clank and Bobble were in the workshop. Clank put cotton in his ears and whacked an acorn. A mound of acorn caps on Tinker Bell's table shifted.
Bobble had his head inside a basket. Clank hit another acorn and one of the acorn caps fell off the mound, whizzing past Bobble. Bobble took his head out of the basket and looked over at the pile. He called to Clank, "Have you seen Tink?"
"No, thank you! Not thirsty!" Clank called back as he hit another acorn.
"No, no. Not drink. Tink!" called Bobble.
"Pink?" Clank asked. He hit another acorn. "I like purple myself."
"Tink!" yelled Bobble, slamming his hand on his table. "Have you seen Tink?"
"What?" Clank asked. He held up his arm and sniffed. "I do not stink! Maybe it's you, eh?" He looked around and pulled out the cotton in his ears. "Hey, have you seen Tink?"
Bobble's wings drooped in exasperation and he slumped his head onto the table.
Clank walked over to Tinker Bell's table. "Ooh, Fairy Mary's gonna be cross!"
"Aye, Clank." Bobble said. "We'd better take some of this off Miss Bell's plate." He took an acorn cap off the top.
Clank pulled one right out from the bottom. Bobble screamed, "No, no, no, wait wait, CLANK!" The pile of acorns fell right onto Clank. Now there were acorns on the floor and on Clank's and Bobble's tables.
Just then, Fairy Mary flew by. "What are-" She looked at Fairy Mary. "Would you two stop mucking about!"
Bobble and Clank started shouting at each other.
"I see Tinker Bell has got her work done mysteriously," Fairy Mary remarked. "Where is she, anyway?"
"Um, well, you see," they stammered.
"She went with Cheese to-" Clank said. Just then, Cheese looked at them.
Fairy Mary crossed her arms.
"No, what Clank means is she went to get Cheese," stammered Bobble.
Fairy Mary looked unconvinced. She pointed two fingers at her eyes, then at Clank and Bobble. She them fluttered away.
Clank and Bobble let out a sigh.
