Getting your teeth removed is so painful...and yet oddly inspiring!
Hope you enjoy this impromptu drabble!
Wisdom teeth. What were they? The symbol of adulthood.
Sure, you can only have them once in a lifetime, but that shows that you're growing.
I mean, yeah, it hurts when they first start popping up, but then the pain subsides and you grow to be really proud of your teeth.
Until that day arrives. You know, that day when you have to remove your wisdom teeth.
Man, Judal, are you in for a lot of pain…
…and hilarity, of course.
"Judal, you need to get your teeth removed." Gyokuen announced out of the blue one day.
"What!" Judal looked up from his video game. "No way! I refuse!" He stuck out his lower lip in defiance.
"You can't refuse, I've already made an appointment." Gyokuen wasn't taking no for an answer.
"I'm not going." Judal wasn't budging…yet.
"You need to…or you won't be able to eat peaches anymore." There, that got his attention.
"WHAT?! Fine, I'll go!"
"perfect." Gyokuen was pleased. "Now pack your bags, the appointment's scheduled for tomorrow."
"What?! TOMORROW?!"
"All right, Judal, this won't take but an hour." The dentist-who suspiciously looked a lot like a certain Sphintus Carmen, held up a long syringe. "Before you know it, you'll be out of here in no time." He adjusted the light. "But first, we have to make sure the pain doesn't get to you."
"What do you mean, "You have to make sure the pain doesn't get to me"?" Judal asked suspiciously while reclining on the dentist's chair.
"It means we're gonna knock you out." Sphintus explains and then it becomes clear to Judal what the needle is for.
"Oh, heck, no, get that thing away from me!" Judal tried to scramble back, but unfortunately for him, Dr. Sphintus's assistant, Marga held him down. "I hate needles! This isn't tooth extraction at all, is it? You're going to me, aren't you? I knew Gyokuen was up to something! Was this all Kouen's plan?! I swear, that guy's has something against me-"
"Relax, Judal." Dr. Sphintus forcefully pried open Judal's mouth. "Trust me, you'll be fine. This is for your own good. Now, sweet dreams."
"MMMfffpp-"
Judal opened his eyes only to greet complete darkness.
"Hm? Did they finish the operation?" Confused, he got up from the reclining seat, and walked around. "I don't get. Why's it so dark? Whatever, I should just leave-"
"AND A-ONE, AND A-TWO, AND A-THREE, LET'S ROCK!"
Judal spun around as a light suddenly shone on what used to be an empty black space. His mouth dropped at what he saw.
Peaches! They were dancing! Well, one of them was actually singing-the others were dancing. (Perhaps they were groupies?)
The lead singing peach (who looks suspiciously like Kouen) adjusted his sunglasses before he continued to belt out a tune in a smooth, rich, baritone voice. The other dancing peaches kept swinging their hips (wait, do peaches even have hips?) and strutted about.
Judal continued staring at them, his jaw wide opened. Then his eyes started shining and he began licking his lips.
"Come here, peachy, peachy, peachy." He cooed at the peaches. "Come to Papa. Let Papa eat you up."
Poor peaches. They never saw it coming.
"See, Judal." Dr. Sphintus Carmen leaned back from his patient who was groggily stirring about. "I told you it would be over before you knew it. You were a really good patient. Good boy."
Judal blearily blinked at Sphintus as he mumbled something.
"Hmm? Did you say something?"
Judal licked his lips as he repeated, "I-I see it. I see the light! I see it!"
"Of course you do." Sphintus glanced over at Marga. "You got this on tape, right?"
Marga gave a thumbs-up at him.
Bonus:
"Man, when will this stupid swelling go done? I want my beautiful face back. Hey, Kouha, what's that you…got…there…"
"Guess what Gyokuen showed us this morning, Judal?"
-CLICK!-
"I-I see it. I see the light! I see it!"
"STOP IT! GET RID OF THAT THING! DAMN IT, KOUHA! STOOOOOOPPPPP!"
I've heard tales of when people go crazy from the gas when they need their teeth removed, but oddly enough, that's never happened to me. (And I had my teeth removed twice!)
Sorry about the lack of updates, but I've been pretty tired and lazy lately (not to mention writer and art-block). But I'm on school break now, so I'll probably have a new chapter up by the end of the week...hopefully.
Until next time, guys!
