*Moral- Don't sue me.
A/N[1]: Sorry for the break. My stupid English teacher assigned us a term paper. And it's only October! I HATE TERM PAPERS! Anyway, on with the story.
Tale 6: The Gardener and His Dog
Swifty: "Ink, have you seen Race? I need a costume and I can't find him anywhere."
Ink: "Sorry Swift, I haven't seen him since we had the conversation about Mush and the Tinkerbell costume."
Mush, still clad in full Tinkerbell ensemble, strolls out onto the stage.
Mush: "Ink, Specs told me to tell you that no one can find Race."
Ink: "Great, now I have no costume designer! I have to go let Spot out of his room, GUYS, TRY AND FIND RACE!"
Everyone starts looking for Race.
Itey checks under the carpet.
Snitch begins running around the stage and backstage area screaming;
Snitch: "RaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRaceRace!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Ink rolls her eyes, and makes her way up the stairs to let Spot out of his room.
As she gets closer to the door, she starts hearing suspicious noises emanating from within.
She quietly opens the door a crack, and takes a good long gawk, before silently closing the door again and walking back to the stage, smirking.
Ink: "I found Race."
Jack: "I thought you were goin' ta let Spot out of his room."
Ink: "I think I'll give him a few more minutes to... think about what he's done."
She says smiling lewdly.
All the boys sit down to wait, and the begin to play Bullshit.
Dutchy: "Six kings!"
He lays six cards down on the large pile in the center of the table.
Jake: "Bullshit, there are only four kings in a deck of cards you moron."
Dutchy looks hurt, and turns over the six cards, revealing six kings.
Specs: "Who's deck are we using?"
Itey: "I think dere Race's."
Jack: "Figures."
Ink walks toward the stairs carrying Spot's cane.
Bumlets: "Are we finally gonna start da story?"
Ink: "We'll start the story when I'm good and ready to start the story!"
She goes up to Spots room, throws the door open, and walks in nonchalantly.
Both boys are oblivious of Ink's presence, as they continue their hot and heavy make out session on Spot's bed.
Race is straddling Spot's hips, and both boys are shirtless.
Ink watches for a few minutes before interrupting them.
Ink: "AHEM!"
Spot bolts up, causing Race to fall on the floor.
Race: "OWWW!"
Spot: "Don't you know how to knock?"
Ink: "What would be the fun in that?"
Race stands up blushing and wiping the dust off of his pants.
Ink: "Race, don't you have costumes to make?"
Race: "What story are we doin' again?"
Ink: "The gardener and his dog."
Race: "So we need a gardener and a dog right?"
Ink: "That would seem logical now wouldn't it?"
Race runs out of the room, pulling on his shirt and trying to figure out just what exactly a gardener wears.
Ink: "Spot your in this one."
Spot: "Am I da gardener, or da dog?"
He asks suspiciously.
Ink smirks.
Spot: "No way in hell!"
Ink: "I'll give you your cane back."
Spot reluctantly agrees, and Ink drags him out of his room and down to the stage.
Spot: "I don't have my shirt!"
Ink: "We don't have time to worry about such trivial things as a shirt."
Spot appears to be thinking hard as they come backstage.
Ink: "Now stop wondering what trivial means, and go get your costume from Race."
He walks toward the dressing room smirking.
Ink: "And BEHAVE!"
Boots and Snipeshooter walk on stage pushing what looks like a giant wishing well.
Boots: "Ink, where do ya want dis thing?"
Snipeshooter: "Yeah, it weighs a ton."
Ink: "Center stage please boys."
Kid Blink walks on stage looking worried.
Blink: "Ink, have you seen Mush?"
Ink: "Not since earlie...."
Mush comes flying over the stage on a pulley, clapping his hands.
Mush: "I do believe in fairies!!!!!!"
Blink grins.
Blink: "I believe in fairies too!"
Ink groans.
Ink: "Pie Eater! Put him down before I hurt someone!"
Pie: "Don't you mean before he hurts someone?"
Ink: "NO!"
Crutchy: "Everyone's ready to start the story."
Ink: "Finally."
Les runs out.
Les: "Are there any pixistix left?"
Ink: "No, I didn't think it was possible, but we managed to eat all 10,502 +2 bunches and a whole lotta pixistix given to us by ShakesEE, in ONE WEEK!"
Les pouts.
Ink: "Dave would you be so kind as to remove your brother from the stage, we are trying to start the story."
Dave, not wanting a repeat of the last story, runs on stage and drags his brother off.
Snoody walks on stage carrying the storybook.
Snoody: "The Gardener was drawing water at the well to water his garden plants."
Swifty walks out wearing blue-jean overalls with a giant pink daisy painted on the front, and a straw hat on his head.
Ink: "Race, where in the ever lovin' universe did you get the idea for that costume?"
Race: "Umm... It looked better when Martha Stewart did it?"
Ink: "Oh for crying out loud, just keep going."
Swifty starts lowering the bucket into the well to draw out the water.
Snoody: "His little dog was jumping and barking on the well curb..."
Spot bounds out wearing only his pants with a dog tail attached, and a pair of floppy ears.
He climbs up onto the well curb, and begins jumping and barking fervently.
Ink raises an eyebrow.
Snoody: "until he lost his balance and fell in."
Ink waits, expecting Spot to object but to her shock and amazement, he complies, immediately jumping into the well.
Ink: "Spot.... Why are you cooperating?"
Spot: "I'se all worn out, so I figured I'd help ya out."
Ink: "Gee Spot, what could you have possibly done to ware you out?"
Spot: "Shut up or I'll stop bein' good."
Race: "You could never stop bein' GOOD!"
Spot smirks.
Snoody: "Hearing the splash,..."
Itey, Dutchy, Skittery, Snitch: "SPLASH!"
Snoody: "the gardener quickly drew off his clothes and descended into the well to rescue his dog."
Skittery: "It does not say that!"
Snoody: "It does so!"
Skittery snatches the book.
Skittery: "Let me see that, hey, it does say that."
Snoody grabs the book back.
Snoody: "Told ya so."
Skittery sticks out his tongue.
Snoody: "Save it for Snitch."
Skittery quickly pulls his tongue back into his mouth.
Spot: "No way is he saving me naked!"
Ink: "He won't be naked!"
Swifty takes off the overalls, revealing bright pink boxers.
Ink: "He'll only be mostly naked."
Swifty lowers himself into the well.
Spot: "Swift, why are ya wearin' pink underwear?"
Swifty: "Dey matched da flower on da overalls."
Snoody: "Just as he was bringing the struggling and slippery animal to the top,"
Swifty picks up Spot who begins to struggle in a slippery fashion.
Snipeshooter: "That don't look right."
The rest of the boys nod in agreement, except for Race, as he is quite turned on watching his wet boyfriend writhe around.
Snoody: "the ungrateful wretch bit his master's hand."
Spot grabs Swifty's hand, and bites down.
Swifty: "Owww.... Get it off me!!!!!"
Spot lets go with a look of disgust.
Spot: "What the hell is on your hand, that's gross."
Swifty cradles his injured hand.
Swifty: "I need a doctor, someone get me some peroxide immediately!"
He inspects the wound.
Swifty: "I hope I don't get Bitch Rabies!"
Ink: "Swifty, keep going with the script."
Swifty: "I think I need stitches!"
Ink: "Please keep going with the script?"
Swifty: "Fine, but you'll be hearing from my lawyer."
Jake: "You don't have a lawyer."
Swifty: "You are sincerely no help, you know that?"
Jake shrugs.
Spot: "Any day now guys!"
Swifty: "Why you little monster!"
Everyone backstage giggles.
Snoody: "exclaimed the gardener."
Swifty: "If that is your idea of gratitude to a master who feeds you and pets you and treats you kindly,..."
Everyone really starts laughing now.
Swifty: "then pull yourself out of the well."
Spot, who is sitting on the edge of the well, looks up at him warily.
Snoody: "I don't think I want ta say the next line."
Ink: "Don't worry, I won't let Spot hurt you."
She looks warningly at Spot, who looks at her innocently.
Snoody: "With that he dropped the dog right back into the well again."
Swifty walks up behind Spot, and shoves him back into the well.
Spot: "ACK!"
By this point, everyone is rolling on the floor in hysterics.
Snitch walks onto the stage wearing a black t-shirt which reads "sugar is life" in glittery letters.
Snitch: "Moral; Don't bite the hand that feeds you!"
The Curtain drops.
A/N[2]: (throws confetti) Spot/Race! I love Spot/Race, as everyone should. Spot got his cane back, so you all can stop yelling at me now! I had every single newsie in this chapter, I don't think that has ever happened before. Another chapter done!
