TV Tropes 100 Take 2
A/N: Welcome back, readers! You voted it, you got it. TV Tropes times two. That's a lot of t's, I know. But it's THAT awesome. And also... you have NO idea how hard it is to write ten approximately 100 word stories in a day, because I had to. So, here you go, I won't keep you waiting any longer... Another 10 TV Tropes, a treat for your t... t... teeth... ?
1. Ear Worm
Skipper had tried, Sweet Abraham Lincoln, had he tried. He did everything in his power, everything in everyone else's power, and everything in the television's power. Not even a pocket full of sunshine could cure him of what he had. He banged his head against the table one night, staring at the TV to give him an answer... still, nothing. Nothing would do it, and now it was in his brain FOREVER. Skipper sighed, finally giving up and giving into the song that took over his mind. "Me and my J.J., with he I will play-ay and something... something..."
XOXOXO
2. Jerk With A Heart Of Gold
For some reason Maurice didn't know, Mort was sad. It wasn't like him to be sad, and when the lemur tried to ask what the matter was, he would just sigh, say "Noooothing..." and leave.
It got so bad that he'd barely hug Julien's feet, and when he was kicked off, he would barely scream. "I'm tellin' yah, it's WEIRD!" Maurice told Julien later that day. Julien shrugged it off, though, as if this wasn't important, annoying Maurice. Seconds later, however, a shriek of joy came from Mort.
"King Julien remembered my birthday!" The king just smirked.
XOXOXO
3. Ralph Wiggum
"For... the last time... It's REALLY important."
"Okay..."
"Where is the energy orb?"
"When you say orb... do you mean... ball-"
"I mean orb!" Kowalski was having... technical difficulties. And their name was Fred. There was nothing against the guy... except for his stupidity that just gave him SUCH a headache... He took a deep breath and tried again. "The green... ball. Have you seen it?"
Fred tilted his head. "I thought you said it wasn't a ball."
"IT IS A BALL! Just... have you seen it!"
"What's a ball?"
XOXOXO
4. Calvinball
Skipper looked at his cards before drawing another one, keeping them close to his body. "I've got seven in the house of Jackson. Who wants it?"
The room was still as the other penguins checked each other out, Rico smiling deviously. "Yup!" he gargled, passing a few chips while throwing another few over his shoulder. Private stared at his cards sadly before running around the table.
"I'm out, Skippah!" He said, to Skipper's approval. After a few minutes of playing this game, Private still had no idea what they're playing... but he wouldn't stop for the world.
XOXOXO
5. Operation Blank
It was just another day at the penguin habitat... wait, scratch that. The emergency alarm rang, letting the penguins know another adventure was waiting to be had.
"There's to be a blip on the radar, Skippah!" Private chirped, looking through the periscope. It had happened for the third time that week. A child dropped their ice cream and looked upset. Luckily, it was a popsicle, so it'd be easy to replace. "Begin operation, Skippah?"
Skipper grinned and nodded. "Ten-four, Private! Initiate Operation: Popsicle Lost" The other penguins just stared. "Well... not all titles can be winners!"
XOXOXO
6. Fake Brit
There wasn't anything that irritated the Private more than having his origins questioned. He told the others, time and time again, that he was British! And he would prove it.
"Alright, Private, we'll do a simple test." Kowalski said, holding his clipboard. "Now... say bathroom."
"Loo."
"Underwear."
"Knickehs."
"Sweater."
"Jumpah."
"Butt."
"Bum."
"Hmmm... Seems about right, Skipper. I think he's telling the truth." Kowalski concluded.
Private rolled his eyes. "'Bout time y'all b'lieve me!" he said in heavy Texan before walking away, leaving everyone else in the room baffled.
XOXOXO
7. I Have No Idea What I'm Doing
The lights continued to blink on and off, confusing everyone in the room. It wasn't looking good for the penguins. They needed to disarm whatever this thing was, or else...
Kowalski studied the machine and flicked a few beads on his abacus. By the time he had finished, he knew two things. One, he didn't know what was happening... and two, he didn't know if he could fix it. So, he resorted to the old standby.
Pushing random buttons.
With a few seconds until the machine blew up, Kowalski saved the day, unknowing and unwittingly, without really having a clue.
XOXOXO
8. Odd Couple
Mason stirred his tea as Phil slurped a coffee.
Phil threw his banana peels, then Mason picked them up daintily and threw them away.
Mason used his monogrammed hanky while Phil... well, Phil used his arm.
Phil would wait DAYS before bathing or grooming. Mason would BEG to be groomed as often as possible.
Mason was opinionated and Phil just couldn't find his voice.
People would think there was no way they could get along... being as opposite as day and night, hot and cold... The Onion and the New York Times. But no matter what, they would stick together.
XOXOXO
9. Stay In The Kitchen
Marlene skipped around the zoo, no real goals in mind. Until Skipper called her over for help. And, being a good friend and neighbor, who was she to disoblige? "What's up, Skipper?"
"We just got finished working out and we're hungry. Why don't you make us a batch of sandwiches, doll?" This was a strange request, considering Marlene never did that. Not to mention it was CHAUVINISTIC!
"Skipper, you know I like helping you, but... just... no!"
As she stomped off, she heard Skipper dismiss her comment, saying, "Don't worry boys. She's just on her period."
XOXOXO
10. Shipping AGAIN!
The penguin looks down at his lover's face, a face that glares back at him with all the malice and malevolence in the world. And yet... he still doesn't care. The black eye that shines up at him is a cruel reminder of how much he doesn't know his own strength. It doesn't matter. It feels so RIGHT... he knows he's wrong. The look on that face tells him how wrong he is. What of that once upon a time when he was a hero? The Superman to an amazing Lois Lane? He only stands there as the other cries.
A/N: That last one really shouldn't count, but I feel that since I put so much effort into it, and since it means so much to me, that it should go in. It's REALLY ambiguous, and you only know it's a penguin and someone else... I'm really looking forward to seeing what pairings people say this one is talking about. NEXT chapter (because there will be one) the pairing will be revealed. Other than that... was it worth the wait? Hopefully the additional chapter to Moondance will make up for it. Moondance has nothing to do with this story. At all. Just thought you should know. Other than that, thanks for reading, submit any suggestions... And I really don't like Fred. I mean, I'd miss him if he was gone, he's one of those... Love to hate characters for me, but... FREAKIN' FRED! Alright, Review!
