Kong's illness prank on Terk
King Kong thought of a silly idea one morning about how he can play a practical joke on Terk without going too far. He wouldn't have been able to implement this on his own, he needed his friends.
"Terk, I'd like to have lunch with my friends soon. I'll be right back, I'm going to enquire when they are free," announced Kong.
"Okay," replied the female who was still consuming her breakfast made of fresh fruit, roots and weta-rexes.
The silverback left the nest and crept to a darker and denser part of the rainforest where he found two of his friends play fighting.
"Banagi, Keyta may I talk with you," asked Kong.
"Yes," they replied and stopped their activity.
"I want to prank my wife, would you help me do that," he wondered.
"Are you sure pranking her is a good idea," questioned Keyta. "Remember how she reacted when you acted like a real drunkard and told her this is the result of your eating too much fermented fruit? You shouldn't have included cat-calling other females in the prank, you made her cry," reasoned the older silverback. "If this involves hurting her, don't count on me."
"I know, that was cruel of me. This joke doesn't involve anything offensive. This is my idea: I leave Terk for a little while to eat lunch with you. You gather food before I arrive where you are, collect wild pears and weta-rexes for me, but what would be ideal is an egg or several of them instead of weta-rexes if this is possible. After eating those, when I begin feeling the effects I'll come to you. This is where I let you witness my fooling her. There's a huge bush about 5 meters away from our nest, what you have to do is sneak behind it in such a direction that it keeps you hidden. When you arrive shake a small part of it then, I'll know you're there. You get to see the whole prank from there. I'm going to act like I caught an illness and one of the symptoms will be excessive flatulence," explained Kong.
"Seems funny to me," replied Banagi smiling. "I'm in."
"Me too," chimed in Keyta.
"When can we do this," enquired King Kong.
"Tomorrow is good," responded Banagi. "I'm curious how she will react to your farting."
"She thinks it's funny when I do it, but she is in for a surprise," responded Terk's mate mischievously.
"Tomorrow is fine for me too," said Keyta.
After the discussion Kong returned to his female and let her know that he's having lunch with Banagi and Keyta on the next day.
That certain day, awaited by King Kong and his friends, finally came. When the male approached his fellow silverbacks he was glad to see that they had succeeded in procuring a large egg alongside the pears. Banagi read his facial expression.
"Pears for the quantity and an egg for the quality," he boasted.
"You mean quality as in air pollution. Man, I want to see Terk's reaction to that," exclaimed Keyta.
"Not so loud! You don't want to foil this, do you," snapped King Kong glaring a little.
"Sorry," apologized Keyta. "I'm excited already. Let's dig in."
The gorillas ate all that they had gathered while chatting. King Kong returned to Terkina who had just finished her lunch. A few hours later in the afternoon he started feeling gassy.
"I'll be back, gotta do my business," announced the male and left for his pals.
Having located the other two males he told them that they can come. Kong and his friends went their separate ways, the former retreated to his nest, the latter quietly drew near the bush in front of the nest on a different route. When Terk's husband witnessed and heard a bough of the shrub rustle, he began the joke.
"Terk, I feel sick," he said in an earnest tone.
"What are your symptoms," she asked a little worried while she started examining him visually.
"I have this little dull pain in my head, at times I have nausea..."
King Kong mimicked loud and sudden gagging and coughing. Terkina's eyes grew wider. Kong's buddies were laughing inside themselves.
"My butt cheeks vibrate from time to time, especially when I'm mad," he added. "And I have another sign that just won't come to my mind... what was it," he acted like he was having a hard time recalling his memory.
The friends had a harder time suppressing their giggling, they conjectured what was coming.
"What's that noise," wanted to know Terk hearing some of the unsuccessfully concealed chuckles.
"Oh, those are my intestines. They have started churning and it's not a happy experience, but I still don't remember my last symptom," explained Kong.
Then, he emitted a thunderous fart.
Terk started laughing.
"Oh, now I remember! I pass a lot more gas than usual," he stated enthusiastically.
Terkina's chortles were interrupted by her sensing a stench like rotten eggs.
"Kong, eeeeeeewww," she exclaimed while backing up.
"Terk, I'm sick! I can't help it," complained the male in a raised tone, his facial features showing melancholy.
Kong counterfeited feeling pain, groaned while disfiguring his face. His wife, from whose face uneasiness could be read, cautiously crept closer to him.
"Kong, can I help you somehow," she enquired. "Is there anything I can do?"
"Yes, there is. Please put on your tiara, the sight of you wearing that will comfort me," he squeezed out in a quiet, hoarse voice. "Then, rub my belly," he added.
Terk reluctantly put on the headdress which she utterly disliked.
"I'd kiss you right now, but I don't want you to contract the disease," he commented.
As the female, still wearing what she wore at her weddings, began touching his belly he loudly imitated gagging in unison with letting out a powerful fart. Terkina got startled and immediately jumped back.
"Terk, I'm so sorry! Could you give it another try," begged Kong ogling at her wistfully with his yellow eyes and reaching toward her.
"Okay," she replied. "How much longer do I have to wear this stupid thing," she asked impatiently.
"You can take it off after you finish giving me a belly rub," replied Kong.
Terkina carefully approached her mate again. Right when she was about to touch the male, he noisily passed gas.
"Eeeeeeeewwww! You're suspicious to me! You farted twice in a row right before I could rub your belly! I think your messing with me," she concluded angrily. "You're stinking up the nest, could you at least get up, go further and then, let out your farts, not when I'm around!?"
"Terk, sorry, that is when they bursted out, I can't control my emissions! You want me to get up every single time before letting it rip!? My lower belly hurts, moving around is the last thing I need," shouted back King Kong. "Terk, could you please ease my pain by rubbing my belly," he requested desperately. "Please..."
"All right," she retorted in an annoyed, slightly frustrated tone.
Right before she could begin history repeated itself. She lost it!
"That's it, I'm not rubbing your belly," she yelled enraged.
"Terk, no, don't leave me," he hollered dismayed after her, widening his sad eyes, reaching toward her. "I'm in pain!"
"I won't leave you, I won't be far, I just don't want to inhale your stink clouds," she shouted back while crawling away. "Sorry, Kong, if you want me to take away your pain stop farting deliberately when I'm close to you and about to help you," she added in a somewhat coarse tone while glancing back at him.
"It wasn't on purpose! You know what, I'm leaving the nest! I'll find another place to stay while I'm sick," he roared in an offended way and began roving away.
Terk instantly swiveled around and rushed towards him.
"Kong, don't go," she beseeched expressing regret in her voice looking at him worried with her large greenish brown eyes.
The silverback turned around to face her and glowered at her.
"I'm going Terk and that's final," he clamorously shouted and let loose a throaty fart at the end of his sentence while narrowing his eyes, one of them twitching.
An idea popped into the female's mind. She forcefully kissed and embraced King Kong as if her life depended on it. The male grabbed her by the shoulders and pushed her away breaking the kiss.
"Terk, are you insane!? You'll catch my illness," he roared in her face madly.
"GIVE IT!," she squalled, wildly broke free of her husband's hold, suddenly bear hugged him as tight as she possibly could and locked lips with him again.
Kong, overpowering her, separated himself from her holding her by her shoulders. She started trying to push his arms out of the way, but he resisted.
"Terk, listen to me," he bellowed while shaking her looking her in the eyes. "Just stop for 1 minute and listen!"
"Give me your illness so that you won't leave me, we'll fart-up the nest together, therefore l'll get used to the smell and I'll rub your belly as long as you want while wearing the tiara, just don't leave" she anxiously floundered desiring him to stay with her.
"Terk, I'm not sick. My friends and I pranked you," he revealed this earnestly.
The female heard the bush close to their nest rustling. She turned towards the source and caught sight of Banagi and Keyta creeping out of it.
"When I had lunch with them I ate a bunch of pears and an egg, that they had gathered, so that I could pass a lot of unpleasant gas to make the joke funnier," he explained. "You can take off the tiara now."
"He got you good," exclaimed Banagi.
"And those weird sounds that raised your attention weren't his guts, we had quite a hard time oppressing our laughter, it was us," Keyta shed light on this.
"I don't know what to say..." said the female. "It wasn't funny to me, except the first fart when I didn't smell anything yet," she commented.
"I hope I didn't go too far. You can take off the tiara now," reminded her Kong.
"Oh, right," she replied gladly while removing it. "You went too far, it really bothered me when you started forsaking me, but what bugged me more is the thought of your going to another female's nest to stay while you're sick," she expounded, her tone cheerless.
"Terk, I would never do that," stated King Kong sincerely. "I didn't think you would presume such things about me," he added, a bit disappointed.
"Well, what you said and the way you acted made me suspect that," she retorted indignantly then, let out an angry sigh and scowled. "You should have seen yourself!"
"Terk, I'm sorry," Kong asked for a pardon.
"It's okay, but it'll take me time to calm down, I'm still anxious and tense," replied the female dismally.
"Guys, would you please leave us, we'd like to be alone for the rest of the day," requested the male.
King Kong's friends wondered back to their nests, Kong and Terk were left alone. The silverback crawled up to his female and embraced her. She returned the hug.
"Maybe we should stop pranking each other, it always goes wrong for one of us," suggested Terk.
"Yeah," agreed the silverback.
The gorillas spent the evening conversing, while doing so the male occasionally let out his gas in a loud and creative way to make Terkina laugh.
