On the Queen of hearts's field of fantastic, alluring singing flowers of colours of all sorts (And colours the girl's couldn't imagine!), Lynette, Alison, Catt, The Duchess, and The Queen all stood waiting for thier croquet mallets. The duchess bounced her baby in her arms, the one she had asleep while she had visitors. It was now a happy, bubbly baby.
"Thank you, Slothouse dear!" The Queen said, recieving a golf bag from the Slothouse. He smiled politely, before collapsing into a deep sleep.
As the Queen unzipped the bag, she removed five flapping, colourful flamingos. Wait...flamingos?!
"AGH!" Lynette screamed and hid behind Catt.
"What's wrong, young miss?" The Queen asked.
"She can't stand birds" Catt explained.
"Don't worry, 'un thier quite harmless." The Duchess said, and motioned for Kevin to come over. "Please take my youngin' to play, 'un."
The Prince nodded and carried the baby away as it applauded at a leaf from a large, twisted tree.
After The Duchess and The Queen grabbed the flamingos and straightened them with thier strength, the birds looked like statues.
"Who want's to get first then?" Catt asked. The Queen smiled and nodded at Alison. Alison, nor the others ever played croquet in thier life. But, with the soldiers staying as still as ever, in a rather flexible position, it looked like she had to hit underneath them. Alison swung the orange flamingo in her hands and hit the ball. Wait a minute, that was an echidna! As she hit it, the flamingo made no noise, and the Echidna rolled and rolled.
"Good, 'un." The Duchess complemented her. "Your next, 'un." She said, pointing a finger at Lynette. Lynette hesitated to pick up the white flamingo and she wanted the bird out of her hands. She closed her eyes, felt a rush of adrenaline, and hit the echidna so hard it went soaring and hit a soldier in the side, winding him.
"You really can't stand birds?" Joe said behind her. Lynette nearly freaked, and threw her flamingo in the air. Joe caught it, like it was a baton.
Catt stepped up, with her purple flamingo, and hit the echidna with care. It went under one gaurd, and came to a halt.
"Yay! I hit it!" She shouted.
The Duchess got a black flamingo, and hit the echidna with perfection and it even hit Alison's echidna further. Now the Queen's turn. She hit the echidna with her ruby red echidna and it went beyond everyone's echidnas and was on the other side of the course.
After the game, Kevin shouted for the Duchess.
"What is it, 'un?" She asked and gasped at her 'baby'. There, in her babie's adorable bunny outfit, was replaced with a wolf puppie.
"I knew I should have gotten him looked at at the doctors when he drank the potion of chocolate I was making!" She said and began to cry, the mascara she was wearing began to stream down her face.
Everyone gave a sorry look to the Duchess as she sobbed on a pure white pillow. After a while, the puppy yapped at her and as she turned to look at him, his big eyes won her heart.
"Maybe, he will be more fun than a normal baby, and less cost effective..." She sighed, picking up and hugging her new baby. Nick and Joe looked at the pillow she was crying in. She must have worn a LOT of mascara, since the entire pillow was black.
"Thank you 'un's for such a wonderful game." The Duchess said before she left, and after she cleaned the mascara off of her face. The puppy licked her face and she smiled. Everyone waved goodbye.
The girls and boys were back in the beds last night, hugging each other, asleep.
