Drum Major: OI! No touching other people's instruments! Drop 30!
The Reed II: Chapter 10
Ariel held the box of reeds in her hands, looking down at it as she spoke, surrounded by the Fellowship who were seven once more.
"So I guess that's the end of your plan for world domination, huh? This time tomorrow, you'll be buried six feet underground."
"SIX feet?" Martyn mouthed.
"Uh... three feet?" Ariel asked, uncertain.
The Fellowship stared at her.
"Um, what makes you think we can dig that deep?"
Pitiful human scum. You will never succeed in destroying me. NEVER!
"Shut up," Ian replied. "This time tomorrow, you'll be buried six centimeters underground trapped in a box of reeds. So there."
Ha. But even with me gone, my apprentice will still be there to continue my work.
"Your APPRENTICE," Jamie said, "is gone. Encased somewhere in a block of cement. Lucas told me."
The Reed gave what sounded suspiciously like a snort.
Of course, you have forgotten of our ability to teleport, or in other words, move instantaneously from one point to...
"We KNOW what it means!"
The Reed continued, unperturbed.
To another. And I made my apprentice such that it has that ability enhanced. Now, it can travel up to a thousand miles at a go.
"What kind of a master calls his apprentice 'it'?" Martyn asked. He was ignored.
I'll have you know that my apprentice is safe and well. Even now, it is finding a way out of its concrete prison. In fact, we have established a kind of mental contact that allows us to communicate. Would you like to hear my apprentice's voice?
"Voice?" David asked incredulously. "Yeah, I'm sure we'd LOVE to..."
As you wish.
And the Fellowship heard the voice of The Reed's apprentice resounding in their heads as it spoke...
Master! This journey out seems to be taking forever! And it's getting reeeeally hot in here too! Sorry Master, but it appears that I may be lost...
FOOL! The Reed screamed in thought-speak, causing the Fellowship to jump up in shock. YOU WENT THE WRONG WAY! You were supposed to go UP, not DOWN! DO YOU WISH TO END UP AT THIS PLANET'S CORE?
The Fellowship smothered giggles.
But Master, truly I did not know! Help me, please! I appear to be stuck in some kind of metal body... it's really hot in here and I can't teleport out! Master! Help me! There was a pause, then..... Hey, I believe I'm about to replicate! Cool...
INFIDEL! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
There was no response.
Meanwhile, The Reeds' apprentice continued to multiply in the Earth's core, creating instability in that area. This led to weird effects on the planet's surface, finally resulting in the production of a movie known as 'The Core'...
The Reed had gone silent, steaming away in quiet fury.
The Fellowship grinned at each other.
"Okay, so let's go put an end to this one....."
Suddenly, the whole box shook violently and a strange glow was emitted.
I WILL GET OUT! I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! I WILL NEVER SURRENDER!
The Fellowship stopped in their tracks.
"On the other hand... I think I better go and practice my solo." Ariel chucked the box over to Ian and ran off.
"And I need the loo."
"Me too." Jamie and Lucas left, running.
Ian, Martyn, Charis and David stared after them.
NEVER! LET ME OUT! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!
Suddenly, the box jerked up into the air for a few seconds before falling back down onto Ian's open palm.
The boy began to feel frightened.
"Um..."
The rest did not give him a chance to back out.
"Science test next week. Got to study. Bye."
"I need the toilet. Urgently."
"Uh... it's my pet ant's feeding time. I bet she's starving, I better go feed her..."
And so Ian was left there, alone, holding the box which contained The Reed. He swore silently and sighed.
"I guess it's just you and me, then." His voice hardened. "Prepare to die."
Then, box in hand, Ian ran towards the field.
TO BE CONTINUED... 8 reviews before next update. ^_^
For Quiz 2, the notes were an extract from 'Theme from E.T.: The Extra- Terrestrial'. No one got it right. For some reason everyone thought it was Star Wars... though the tunes are sort of similar...JOHN WILLIAMS FOREVER!!! =D =D
E.T.: C'-G'-F'E'D'E'C'-G-
Star Wars: C-G-FEDEC'-G-
Oh well. Close enough.
Quiz 3:
Movie source of the following: CG-DA-ABC'C'BGA-
=D
Perc Mad Hatter: Okay... Maybe in The Reed III, if I ever think of writing it...
Kathryn: I saw a picture of an English horn reed on a poster. It wasn't really clear, though. It looks mostly like a cross between an oboe reed and a bassoon reed.
Bassoon Lady: Bassoons do not make the world go round. The sun's gravity does. ^_^
Tan_mx: It's not the Star Wars theme. Good luck for SYF too. WE MUST GET GOLD!!! Aaargh...
Wildmage42: Only the hearts of band members have notes. ^_^ I think. All you have to do is get a tuner, switch it on and hold it close to your heart... not that I've tried...
SPAM WOMAN: Uh, what's SPAM soup? *looks confused*
Sarai: I don't know what the cat's name was. And I thought the default name for cats was 'kitty', not 'fluffy'... that's the name of the three-headed dog in Harry Potter...
Purple Elf: No comments about you wanting your band major dead. Thanks for reviewing. =D
MOTHMANLIVES: So they're not on DVD yet? Okay... that must have been the VCD I saw then. I've got Star Wars 4 on tape, 5 on VCD, 6 on LD, and 1&2 on DVD. ^_^
ClarinetBandie: Thanks for your review!
Trombonist Meg: Okay, I'll try looking for it myself then...
Amazon-princezz: Nope, it's NOT Star Wars. Okay, how to start... um, I don't live in the US, and over here I AM in high school, band camp IS overnight every year, band camp IS fun but it's even more fun to write stuff like this, the band major... well, it depends on the person... ^_^ Yup, that's all.
Vixen: You're a blonde? *laughs maniacally* *gets glared at by the millions of blondes on ff.net* Okay... so you want the kitty to come back to life and kill Lucas... 'The Gay Reed'??? I've never had a pink and purple reed before, so I don't know. ( Thanks for reviewing!
