It was a special day on Endless, we all visited Mack and Beefhouse's place for their craft day. Everyone was just doing their own thing, expressing their creative side.
"I'm glad you all came to our craft day." Mack said.
"This is really special to us." Beefhouse replied.
All of the islanders were making their very own art projects. I don't think Darla has the hands for pottery. Reggie was making a decorated paper crown.
'What are you making there, Reg?" I asked her.
"It's a crown. I made it for Brown Roger cause he's the king of cute." She puts the crown on Brown Roger and he couldn't help but blush. "What are you making?" She asked me.
I was sculpting a clay statue of me with muscles. "Just a little self sculpture." I said. "What do you think? More muscles or less."
"Uh, that looks like enough Tristan." Reggie giggled.
"Hmm... you might be right." I pondered. "But then again, one can't be too ripped." I flexed and smiled. Then I added more muscles on my statue.
"I'm making a guitar strap for Guy Pleasant." Esther said showing the sparkily sash. "I found this fruit here that and it's rightful like leather. So I peeled off some strips and then let them dry in the sun. In the mean time I spent a few nights at home researching other word and then I gather rimestones around the island and then I hand sewn them on. It's taken me about hmmm 87 hours. But I think it's worth it."
"Man I sometimes forget how talky you are." I told her. "What are you making, Todd?"
"I don't know, a little guy maybe..." He replies holding some sort of craft guy? I actually had no idea what it was.
"Well, it's the thought that counts." I said.
"Whatcha got there Mack?" Reg asked him. The dude was making some sort of card.
"I'm making a card for someone special." Before he turned to his partner winking.
"What a coincidence. I'm making a card for someone special." Beefhouse replied.
"I wonder who it's for?" Mack teased. Beefhouse blushed.
"I won't tell you."
Esther couldn't help but smile at the bromance that was going on.
"Aww, you two are adorable! May I?" Beefhouse gave Esther his card and she started to read it. "M is for magical, A is for agile, C is for clever, K is for kind. There are not enough letters in your name to describe your amazing qualities. For you I benchpress the world.~"
Esther I couldn't help but shed a tear for his beautiful poem. "That was beautiful.
"I'm sure that 'special someone' will love it." I added.
"Thanks, guys." B.H replied.
We then went over to Mack. "And what kind of card did you make?" I said to him. He gave us the card and I started reading it. "To my wonderful Beefhouse, Everyday with you is a dream. You've got my heart locked in a figure-4.~"
Esther bursted into tears of happiness.
"Their just so in love!" She said while hugging me rather tightly. "It's beautiful! I-I can't wait to fall in love..."
"Me too..." I said. "Now can you let go of me before you crush my spine?"
"Oh, sorry." Esther does so. "Aren't you guys excited to find your soul mates?" She asked us.
"Well, the thought's never came up before." I said. "But If I have to guess what my soulmate would be like. She would be a radical dudette with long flowing red hair who loves rock music and motorcycles. We would spend our days reading comic books and partying in mosh pits. We would knock out so many teeth. Then we ride away into the sunset, me holding her torso and her hair in the wind tickling my cheeks..." Esther was agape by my visualization. "...Or something like that."
"Oh. My. GOSH!" Esther exclaimed. "That is so romantic!"
"Nah, I was just speaking hypothetically." I said.
"I'm sure you make some girl really happy." She replied.
"Thanks, Esther."
Reggie just blew a rasberry at us. She never did like the idea of finding true love. "Love? yeah right. That didn't work out for my parents or my Aunt Brenda or my mailman. Relationships make everything dumb and complicated."
"You're just saying that because you never had someone to love yourself." I told her. She just blew another rasberry at me. I just wipe the spit off of my face and continued. "Look, love is complicated but that's the point. You'll have someone to help figure it out."
"Yeah, Reggie." Esther agreed. "Don't you wish for someone to share your life with? Someone who you think about all the time, who makes you laugh-"
"I've already have someone like that." Reggie holds up Brown Roger. "Brown Roger's always there for me. Aren't you buddy?" She cuddles Brown Roger making him chirp.
"That's not what I meant." Esther said.
Meanwhile, Beefhouse was putting the finishing touches on his card but ran out of glitter glue.
"Aww, who used all my blue glitter?" Beefhouse questioned.
"Sorry, bro. That was me." Mack responded.
"Oh, that's alright. I just wished you asked first." Beefhouse replied.
"Well, I just thought we shared everything."
"We do. But you know it's common couresty to ask first."
"It's funny you say that, when you used my toothbrush the other night without asking first..."
As Mack and Beefhouse began their friendly little arguement, Reggie couldn't help but point something out.
"See? Those guys are going at it. Told you love isn't all good."
"So what?" I counter-argued. "Couples argue all the time. In fact it's part of the love deal. It's called a Lover's Quarrell. A lot of couples have differences that they might disagree with but they always work things out. Though sometimes they need some help working it out."
"Right." Esther agreed. "Some people go to counseling to help with any issues they have with each other so they may grow as a couple-" Reggie interrupted Esther with a groan.
"Counseling? This is exactly what I mean! I don't want to go through love if it means I have to go to 'counseling'!"
Meanwhile, Beefhouse was still heated from his arguement and takes a deep breath. "Okay, We're getting too worked up. Remember what Doctor Tenders taught us. I'll go first." He clears his throat and began. "When you use my things without asking. It triggers my fear of losing control."
"But right now I can't help but feel vuernable and attacked!" Mack replied.
"I hear you and I accept and embrace your imperfections as well as my own. I would like to apologize."
The two then hugged one another and forgave each other. Everyone applauded at that display of considering others feelings.
"We like to practive extreme honestly to avoid getting too worked up and angry." Beefhouse said.
"Well, that was beautiful." I complimented. " I wish I had that kind of relationship like you guys."
"I don't." Reggie pouted.
"Oh, come on Reggie. You know can't escape love." I smirk at her.
"Watch me."
Later, we continued on our arts and crafts. Todd was putting some more glue on his art but he squeezed too much and got himself stuck on the table.
"Someone please help me." Todd replied calmly looking around trying not to freak out.
"I'll cut you out." Darla said readying her knife hands.
"Uh, anyone else?"
"I got ya bud." I came over and attempt to pull Todd off the table but he was really stuck that he he still hung on to it.
"Kid Thrash! Be careful!" Beefhouse warned.
"It's okay, Beef! I got this." I contnued to try and pull out Todd and as I did so I swung the table around everyone hitting most of the islanders and knocking down their art pieces.
Jake ducked. "Dude! Watch where you're swingin' that thing!"
"Sorry, Jake!"
"Don't panic!" Beefhouse assured. "We've got something around here to losen that glue."
"That's great." I grunted. "You do that while I get Todd out!"
"Please stop!" Todd screamed. But I didn't listened as I was still trying to get him unstuck. Then Reggie and Esther hold down the table just as Mack and Beefhouse return with a... taco? They poured the taco's stuffing onto the glue and it melted away and Todd was free.
"Okay I think I'm done crafting."
"Me too, my card is all finished." Mack replied.
"Mine too." Beefhouse replied picking up his own card.
I was excited that everyone was about to see how much Mack and Beefhouse love each other. But not as excited as Esther.
"You guys should exchange your cards now! So I can see your reactions! PLEASE LET ME SEE YOUR REACTIONS!"
As the couple swapped cards, Beefhosue was nervous about reading Mack's card and he was feeling the same about reading Beefhouse's card.
"M-maybe you can read it later. I'm shy..."
"M-me too."
"It's cool." I told them. "Just take your ti-"
"Read the cards! Read it! Read it! Read it!" Esther interrupted me.
"I've got an idea. How about you guys turn around and just read the cards." I suggested.
"PLEASE!" Esther begged.
"Oh good idea!" Beefhouse replied as the two turned around. Esther and I couldn't contain our excitement as we locked hands.
"This is it! We're about to experience a true relationship." Me and Esther locked hands in excitement to hear the couple express their love for each other. However, their reactions weren't were we expecting.
"Everyday with you is A NIGHTMARE!?" Beefhouse replied reading the card in sudden anger.
"M is for Moron, A is for annoying-!"
My jaw dropped in shock."What the heck!? That's not what the cards said!" I spoke flabbergasted. "Why are they saying things the card isn't saying!?" I shook Esther.
I couldn't see it, but something was going on with M and B. Their eyes were glowing green and they were angry at each other.
"-C is for can't wrestle, K is for KAN'T WRESTLE!?" Mack was just about ready to put the literal hurt on his partner.
"What is this ALL ABOUT!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?"
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?" Beefhouse screamed back.
They both threw each other's cards away and began to circle one another and talk trash.
"I HAVE A NEED THAT'S NOT BEING MET RIGHT NOW, THE NEED TO KICK YOUR BUTT!"
"I LIKE TO SATISY MY NEED TO UNLEASH A WORLD OF PAIN ON YOU!"
"BRING IT! I'LL TAKE YOU DOWN, I'M THE MASTER OF RING!"
I was speechless, how could there love turn to hate so fast? As Mack and Beefhouse began to wrestle we were shocked to watch them destroy each other. I had to do something. So thinking fast, I grabbed my guitar and turned it into a flute, then I played it magically stopping the angry couple.
"I did not know you can do that." Todd said.
"Music soothes the savage beast." I spoke before walking towards M & B. "Now what's all this about, guys? You're never this angry at each other."
"Mack is a jerk and an idiot!" Beefhouse screamed.
"Takes one to know one!" Mack retorted.
"I'll smash you!"
"I'LL SMASH YOU!"
"Guys, please! This isn't like you, let's all be cool and talk about it." I attempted to make peace. I set them down two couches and then went towards them wearing glasses and holding a pencil and a notebook.
"I think the best way to get rid of all this tension is by talking about it." I said like a fancy therapist. "Now Mack, how long have you had these irate feelings toward Beefhouse?"
"I wanna crush his skull into dust!" Mack screamed.
"I'd like to see you try, jerk!" Beefhouse retorted.
"Guys, please. This is a safe place." I calmed them but they were already at each other's throats.
"Uh let's try the BLOOD method?" Beefhouse tossed Mack over to the chair, luckily I jumped away in time.
"What is going on! Nothing I do I stopping them from killing each other!"
"I'll tell ya, Love makes people crazy." Reggie told me.
Meanwhile, the others were trying to calm the angry couple down but they kept destroying each other, and anything near them. Reggie ran up to Mack and grabbed his leg.
"Alright Mack, cut it out." She grunted but Mack didn't hear her and tossed Reggie into the air and she fell into another green box.
"Reggie! Are you okay?" I ran up to her.
"What the heck! It's like they're in beserker mode or something!"
Todd and Esther tried to calm them down but get tossed aside. Esther tied Mack with her energy lasso but he breaks out it, causing her to fall over to the ground.
"Maybe I can cool them off." Todd replied before he shapeshifted into some sort of seal like frog, puffing up his throat as he began to spray out water from a port hole on his back like a dolphin as well as using his tail to direct the water stream. It sprayed the two wrestling guys but it wasn't enough to snap them out of it.
"Why would you think that would work?" Reggie asked him.
"I honestly don't know."
"How could such heart felt cards make them so mad?" Esther said.
"Yeah, when I read them I didn't go into a muderous rage." Then I thought. "Hmm... Something's up."
"I'm tellin' ya love messes with your brain chemicals and stuff. It's science!" Reggie explained.
"No way, there's more to this." I said. "Something must've happened to those cards..." Just then I saw a certain bat like creature picking up the glowing cards.
"...Or someone!" I pointed to the familiar figure and grabbed his tail. It was Big Deal! The Butt Witch's flunkie.
"Big Deal!?" Reggie replied. "What are you doing here, you traitor!"
"Uh... Hey guys... I was just... hanging out." He stuttered.
"That's a lie." I shook him causing the cards to fall off.
"What did you do to these cards!?" Reggie angrily asked.
"Nothing!" Big Deal covered but he was nervously sweating so we knew he was lying. I picked up the cards and sniffed them and it smelled foul.
"Ugh! I knew it! The Butt Witch has her sticky little fingers all over this!" I exclaimed.
"So uh... If I can have those cards back, I can be on my way..."
Reggie took the cards from me and tore them apart, breaking the Butt Witch's spell. Soon Mack and Beefhouse snapped out of it and stopped fighting.
"I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry." Mack apologized.
"Me too! I never want to hurt you again." Beefhouse replied. "Why did that even happen?"
"Because Butt Witch is a big dumb jerk!" Reggie replied.
"HEY TAKE THAT BACK!" Big Deal yelled as I put him down.
"Did you have something to do with this?!" Mack questioned.
"No. Yes... Oh please don't hurt me!" The henchman confessed.
"Oh we're not going to." Beefhouse said peacefully.
"We don't like using force." Mack replied. Big Deal sighed much to his relief.
"But I do~". I said in a singsongy tone. Big Deal gulped in fear. I held up my guitar like a golf club and then aimed at the henchman. "FORE!" I smacked him sending him flying far into the sky. My friends clapped for me.
"Now that that's over. Why don't read what your cards actually said." Esther handed the cards that were fixed with tape over to Mack and Beefhouse and they began to read it.
"For you I benchpress the world.~" Mack read feeling much joy.
"You've got my heart locked in a figure-4.~" Beefhouse smiled. The two were overcome by the passion they had for one another and proceeded to hug each other. I sighed wiping a tear from my eye.
"Thank you so much Kid Thrash, for reminding us how special our love is." Mack thanked.
"It's my pleasure, boys."
"I still think love is for chumps." Reggie pouted.
But as the couple walk off into the sunset, she couldn't help but smile at them.
"Still think love is for chumps?" I smirked at her causing her to shake her head.
"Uh, yes! Shut up, Tristan..." She blushed.
And so wraps up another day on Endless. Which just goes to show that love truly conqers all.
