A/N[1]: Chapter five, coming right up. I hope you like it!





Tale 5: The Fox and the Crow





Dave: "I am NOT playing a girl!"


Ink: "Oh yes you are!"


Dave pouts and crosses his arms over his chest.


Dave: "Fine, but don't expect me to put forth any effort."


Ink: "GOOD! You'll fit right in!"

Snoody walks onto the stage, carrying the giant storybook.


Specs runs up behind him, and snatches the book out of his hands.


Snoody: "What the...!?"


Specs: "I'm narrating dis story."


Snoody: "Fine, see if I care!"


Specs: "HA! I'm da narrator, now everyone has to do what I say, Ahh the power!"


Ink: "Excuse me!"


Specs: "Everyone but Ink has to do what I say, Ahh the power!"


Ink: "That's much better."

Snoody: "But Ink... He stole my job."


Ink pats his back.


Ink: "It's okay Snoody, you can narrate the next story, now go eat some pixistix."


Snoody: "Yay sugar! Where is it?"


Bumlets: "Go ask Snitch."


Snoody skips off in search of Snitch and sugar.


Specs: "A crow who had stolen a piece of cheese was flying toward the top of a tall tree where she hoped to enjoy her prize,"


Dave, in a crow costume, comes flying over the audience on a pulley.


Dave: "I can fly! Now, second star to the right and strait on till morning! Come Tinkerbell!"


Mush comes flying up beside him in full Tinkerbell costume.


Ink: "Guys! Wrong story!"


Mush: "You mean I can't wear the pretty costume?"


Ink: "No, where did that ridiculous thing come from anyway?"


Mush: "Race gave it to me."


Ink: "Race, why must you encourage them?"


Race shrugs.


Kid Blink: "I dunno, I think Mush looks good in tights."


Ink raises an eyebrow.


Dave: "Pie Eater, let me down!"


Pie: "I can't, the pulley's caught."


Mush: "Then let me down."


Pie: "I can't, your pulley is what Dave's pulley is caught on."


Boots: "Well how long will it take to get them uncaught?"


Pie: "Well, that depends. Does anyone have a really long stick and some bubble gum?"


Swifty: "Wait, I have an idea."


He grabs the fake tree and moves it under the two entangled boys.


Swifty: "There, now Dave's in da tree."


Ink: "Good enough for me!"


Specs: "when a fox spied her."


Kid Blink walks onto the stage, wearing the same fox costume that Jack had worn.


Blink grins.


Blink: "I like bein' a fox."


Jack: "Freak!"


Blink: "At least I didn't have to be carried onto da stage."


Jack sticks his tongue out at Blink who laughs.


Blink: "If I plan this right,"


Specs: "said the fox to himself,"


Blink: "I shall have cheese for supper."


Dave: "I can hear you."


Blink: "You can not, you only think you can."


Dave looks very confused.


Blink: "So there."

Mush waves.


Mush: "Hi Blink!"


Blink grins.


Blink: "Hiya Tinkermush!"


Ink groans.


Ink: "For crying out Bob!"


Jake: "Who's Bob?"


Ink: "He's the funny invisible blue man who lives in my best friends closet."


Jake: "Oh."


Specs: "So as he sat under the tree, he began to speak in his politest tones:"


Kid Blink sits down under the tree and looks up at Dave who is looking depressed.


Blink: "Good day,"


Dave: "Yeah right!"


Blink: "mistress crow,"


Dave: "I am a boy, and you know it!"


Blink: "how well you are looking today!"


Dave: "I can't possibly look very well, for crying out loud, I'm tangled up in this stupid tree, wearing a stupid crow costume, with a boy who is enjoying being dressed like TINKERBELL!"


Blink falters for a moment.


Ink: "Dave! Shut up and stop interrupting or I am going to leave you up there permanently.


Dave quivers in fear and shuts his mouth.


Ink: "That's better."


Blink: "How glossy your wings, and your breast is the breast of an eagle."


Mush starts cracking up, which causes Blink to start cracking up, which ends up causing a chain reaction. Pretty soon everyone but Dave is laughing hysterically.


Dave looks indignant.


Dave: "IT'S NOT THAT FUNNY!"


Ink tries to stop laughing so she can bring some order back to the set, but the sight of Dave looking like an indignant female crow is just too freaking funny.


Finally everyone calms down enough to continue.


Blink: "And your claws-I beg pardon- your talons are as strong as steel."


Dave looks a bit less indignant, as this last compliment was a bit more manly.


Blink: "I have not heard your voice, but I am certain that it must surpass that of any other bird just as your beauty does."


Specs: "The vain crow was pleased by all this flattery."


Mush pokes Dave.


Mush: "Dave, your supposed to look pleased."


Dave: "Shut up Mush."


Mush continues poking Dave.

Mush: "Not until you look pleased."


Dave plasters a demented looking smile on his face.


Mush: "That's much better, see it wasn't that hard."


Dave stares at Mush with a murderous look in his eyes.


Specs: "She believed every word of it and waggled her tail and flapped her wings to show her pleasure."


Dave holds stock still.


Mush looks at him slyly, then he begins tickling him, causing him to flail around and kick his legs.


Ink: "Thank you Mush."


Mush: "No problem."


Specs: "She liked especially what friend fox had to say about her voice,"


Dave: "I do not, I think he is a conniving twit."


Ink: "Mush, smack him."


Mush complies.


Dave looks at Mush.


Dave: "You do know that I hate you correct?"


Mush nods, smirking.


Specs: "for she had sometimes been told that her caw was a bit rusty."


Dave: "HEY!"


Specs: "So, chuckling to think how she was going to surprise the fox with her most beautiful caw, she opened wide her mouth."


Before anyone could move, or say another word, someone new walked onto the stage.


Ink: "Fidget?"


Fidget holds a finger up to her lips, and continues slinking toward Blink whose back is turned to her.


Ink: "Fidget, what are you doing in my story?"


Fidget smirks evilly and quickly pulls Blinks pants down.


Blink: "What the fu...?"


Ink: "Blink, watch your language!"

Blink: "Crutchy got to swear!"


Ink runs after Fidget.


Ink: "Fidget get OUT of my story and don't pants any more of my actors!"


Fidget: "Wait, I can't go yet."


Ink: "WHY NOT?"


Fidget: "Spot owes me money."


Ink: "For what?"


Fidget: "He said if I sabotaged your story, he would pay me."


Ink: "But... You're my best friend!"


Fidget: "Hey, a dollars a dollar."


Ink: "Yeah but... Wait... You sabotaged my entire story for ONE DOLLER?"


Fidget: "Well...."


Ink: "That's it! Fidget get out of my story. SPOT!"


Spot: "What?"


Ink: "GO TO YOUR ROOM!"


Spot: "WHAT!?"


Ink: "Use the rest of the story to think about what you've done, and your cane stays with me."


She takes his cane.


Spot pouts, and stomps up to his room.


Ink: "DAVE!"


Dave looks at her, afraid.


Ink: "Why isn't your mouth open?"


Not wanting to incur her wrath, Dave's mouth falls open immediately.


Ink: "That's better."


Ink looks at Blink, whose pants are still around his ankles.


She notices writing on his boxers,


Ink: "Behold, the power of cheese?"


Blink blushes and pulls up his pants.


Jack: "Hey, I love those commercials."


Specs: "Down dropped the piece of cheese!"


Dave drops a nurf football which has been painted to look like swiss cheese.


Specs: "The wily fox snatched it before it touched the ground,"


Blink grabs the football and proceeds to take a huge bite out of it.


Blink: "Yum, cheeder!"


Ink slaps her forehead.


Specs: "and as he walked away, licking his chops he offered these words of advice to the silly crow:"


Blink walks off, continuing to eat the football,


Blink: "The next time someone praises your beauty be sure to hold your tongue."


Dave is about to protest, when all of a sudden there is a loud SNAP!


Pie: "Hey, I got it."


Dave falls to the stage.


Dave: "Owww!"


Pie: "Sorry Dave."


He laughs as he lowers Mush slowly to the ground.


Mush: "Thank you Pie!"


Pie: "No problem Mush."


Dave groans and limps off stage.


Snitch comes out on stage doing a happy dance.


Snitch: "Alarice gave me more sugar!"


Ink looks at him and shakes her head.


Ink: "Oh joy."


Snitch: "Da moral is; Flatterers are not to be trusted."


He continues doing a happy dance until he is well out of sight of the audience.


The curtain falls.
