SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! (again) I hereby award FandomFangirl100 the Awesome Receiver reward for submitting the 150th review! I also thank Rousdower, Phillip Callaway, Darth Maitimo, OneSizeFitsAll, Elektra Elentari, ccgaylord, freefornow, and Jesus' girl 4ever! :D I will give virtual elvish cotton candy to the 160th reviewer!
Gimtea, Lasagnalas, Merry, Pippin, Frodo and SodaSam are in a pavilion set in the cotton candy near a soda fountain. They lie on soft couches as Elves leave candy for them.
Mournful singing drifts down from high in the cotton candy.
LASAGNALAS:
(sadly) A lament for Gumdalf...
MERRY:
What do they say about him?
LASAGNALAS:
They are mourning because they will never taste his gum again.
MERRY:
Quite understandable.
SODASAM:
I bet they don't mention his Juicy Fruit. There should be a verse about that.
"The chewest gum ever sold
They blew fine bubbles all in gold
Or after parties, golden showers
...All chewing like a…rain of flowers"
Oh, that doesn't do it justice by a long road.
They all break down sobbing from thinking about Gumdalf's gum.
Boroburger is sitting alone...Sticky approaches him.
STICKY:
Make some burgers..these borders are well protected.
Moonlight catches the trace of tears on Boroburger's face. Sticky kneels down beside him.
BOROBURGER:
I can make no burgers here. I heard her voice inside my head...she spoke of my father and the fall of Gummydor, and she said to me: "Even now, there is candy left. But I cannot see it...it is long since we had any candy. My father is a candymaking man, but his sugar crops are failing and our..our people lose their sweets. He looks to me to make things right...and I would do it, I would see the glory of Gummydor restored. Have you ever seen it, Sticky? The Tower of McDonald's, glimmering like a spike of golden yellow, its sign up high in the morning breeze...have you ever been chewed there, with bottomless French Fries?
STICKY:
I have chewed in McDonald's..long ago.
BOROBURGER:
One day our paths will lead us there, and the few remaining eateries shall take up the call "the Candymakers of Gummydor have returned."
Sticky returns Boroburger's smile...betraying his disquiet sadness only when Boroburger looks away.
Please review! More Celeborn the Cookie Monster in the next chapter... ;D
