A little explanation to this story. I needed still this moment and found on my way home one evening a little rubber duck on the street. I took it home with me and begun to think what I'm going to do with him. And then came a story up in my mind and because I was once a comic drawer came a picture too. And this is the story.
Tifa looked up as Cloud entered the bar. "What happened?" he limped closer. "A monster together with a wet road. I'll take a sh…" Tifa interrupted him. "No. This time you take a bath. Quiet. It helps with the pain. Give me five minutes." He stared after her. "I don't take baths" Ten minutes later admitted Cloud that laying in hot water was not that bad. Ok the bubble bath nerved, but he noticed that his muscles begun to relax. Then the door opened. "What are you doing?" asked a voice. "Marlene, I take a bath!" "That I see, but you doing it wrong!" She disappeared. "Wrong? How can…." His thoughts got interrupted as Marlene returned with three rubber ducks and a few ships. She tossed them into the water. "You need those. The ducks are mine and the boats Denzel's. I did not know what you like. So I bought them both." Now disappeared Marlene again.
Thirty minutes later opened Tifa the bathroom door and stares in disbelieve at the war going on in the tub. A duck just lost her life und turned upside down. But the other duck attacked a boat. Then a huge wave stopped the duck, but too late. The boat sank too. Tifa began to giggle. Quickly turned he his head toward her. "As Marlene told me she brought you some toys, thought I you just would kick them out. But I see you found a use for them." He said nothing, but kept an eye on the pink duck that swam toward his last boat. With a "Let me know who won!" closed Tifa the door again. "When he comes out, ask I him if he wants tonight a security blanket too!" thought Tifa and went giggling downstairs. In the tub lost the pink duck her life to a five armed sea monster.
