Meeting Barney… The el-weirdo purple dino!

--------------------

Michael snorted with laughter, Kyle fell on the floor he was laughing so hard and Tess stared at her in shock.

"Don't sing that!" Tess cried. 'That's mean!"

"But it's funny!" Michael managed to gasp out, between fits of laughter.

"And I would love to do it!" Kyle tried to say seriously, and failing miserably.

The receptionist looked over at them, smiled, then got up and walked over to them.

"I can take you meet Barney now, if you'd like."

"Oh thanks!"

Tess jumped up enthusiastically and began to follow her. The other three followed, less enthusiastic. They followed her down a long hall and into a room. The door to the room had a star and the name 'Barney' underneath it.

Barney sat on a couch o the other side of the room, a cigar in one hand and a beer in the other. His flat, blobby purple body was lying like a drunken heap on the couch, all twisted and limp. He obviously hadn't had a decent show or shave in a few days, and the room reeked of beer.

Tess squealed and raced over to give him a huge hug.

"Oh. My. God! It's really you! I can't believe it! Oh my Lord!"

Barney stood up, abruptly, dumping Tess on the floor. Tess picked herself up and flung herself at him again. Kyle groaned, and went red with embarrassment. Sure his girlfriend wasn't any normal being, but even still!

"Who the hell are you?" Barney yelled.

"I'm Tess. I'm a major fan of yours!"

Barney stopped for a second, and stared at her.

"I don't care who you are! Get out! Now!"

"Don't you care about your fans?" Tess asked.

Kyle grabbed her arm and started to drag her out of the room. It was obvious that this Barney dude was not in a good mood, and he didn't want to be there if he really blew! But Tess pulled away. She stormed up to Barney and poked him in the chest.

"I am a fan, and I don't deserve to be treated this way! You should be glad to have fans like me! You should..."

She stopped mid sentence as Barney flew across the room. Tess realised that she'd gotten a little out of control and that, using her mind power, she'd accidentally pushed him. Barney hit the far wall and crumpled to the ground, unmoving. Tess raced over to him, she checked his pulse.

There was none.

Do do do do!
