After the applause died down, Total barked out for Nudge to do "that DDR thing...what was it...caterpiller?"
Nudged blushed, and was startled when an angry voice came to her aid.
"It's butterfly Total, get it right! that song is AWSOME!" Fang looked around confusedly, until his eyes met Gassy's. Hus voice had come from the twerp...again...
'you are so dead' Fang mouthed in Gassy's general direction. Gassy chose to ignore this.
Nudge, bursting with confidence since FANG of all people had stood up for her, jumped to the stage, pulling on her green shirt as she did so. The lights dimmed and multi coloured strobelights came frome nowhere. With a sudden bouncy step ting going, anost as if she were pretending to play DDR, Nudge sang, completely forgetting that the screen in front of her had words on it, just pulling on what she had memorized in the past days.
Ai yai i yai
Ai yai i yai
Ai yai i yai
Where's my samurai?
Bounding across the stage, doing flips and cartwheels came...a boy. What? Nudge gave him an odd look, similar to somthing in a fashion magazine, showing off the brightly shadowed eyelids she was sporting. She grined at him, gave a shimmy of her hips, and spread her wings. Her amazingly painted wings, so beautiful! mainly Green, black, and blue, there were interwoven layers of yellow and red, making a breathtaking display of colour. So breathtaking, that no one objected to the fact that a non bird person (other than Jeb or total or the Dr.) was on stage, and worse, he obvisouly knew of their secret.
I've been searching for a man,
All across Japan.
Just to find, to find my samurai.
Someone who is strong,
But still a little shy,
Yes, I need, I need my samurai.
It wasn't apparent at first, but once the word "samurai" was mentioned, his garb was very...distinct. A dark blue male kimono with lighter blue sash, which held...was that a sword! A few people were about to object, but were shocked by the next actions. Nudge threw herself into the arms of this weirdly dressed, armed male, and turned to him as ifthe next words were meant for him and him alone.
Ai yai i yai,
I'm your little butterfly,
Green, black and blue
Make the colors in the sky.
Suddenly Nudge leapt out of the stranger's arms, and there was a colective sigh of releife from the croud. Angel heard thoguhts such as "now she'll kick him in the head" and "omg i'm glad she's not still in that strangle hold he had on her" and "should we move to help?... naw." Nudge didn't do anything in the way of "kicking him in the head" though such an action would have made Fang proud. She instead twirled prettely, showing off her now very "butterflyish" wings. She sang as she flew.
Ai yai i yai,
I'm your little butterfly,
Green, black and blue
Make the colors in the sky.
She landed and grinned at the boy, who everyone now notiecd was rooting for somthing on the edge of the stage.
I've been searching through the woods,
And high above the hills.
Just to find, to find my samurai.
He found what he was looking for. An Acme overszed butterfly net. He looked over at Nudge, making sure, again, that she really wanted him to do this. There was a swishing sound.
Some who won't regret,
To keep me in his net.
Yes I need, I need my samurai.
Nudge was now singing from the inside of the net, serenly gazing at the face on the outside of the mesh. He slowely, carefully, removed the nit, carefull not to get it caught in her feathers.
Ai yai i yai,
I'm your little butterfly,
Green, black and blue
Make the colors in the sky.
Nudge leaned against her Samurai, and sang the last bit of the song.
Ai yai i yai,
I'm your little butterfly,
Green, black and blue
Make the colors in the sky.
Seeing that this boy was not a threat, tentative clapping began, than erupted from the flock. Nudge tried to speak over them, but with little success. Suddenly a very scary, devilish voice silence everyone. Had one cared to litsen to the words, they would have possibly made out "IT"S MY SONG! SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO NUDGE SO I CAN HAVE MY TURN!!!" this complaint was lodged, of course, from Gassy, who was very impatient for his five minutes of fame.
"Thank you Gassy" Nudge took a deep breath and the boy by the hand. "Guys, this is Sam. I was flying, and he was hopping from tree to tree and we collided..." she blushed " he thought I was an angel...and I.." she took a deep breath and hoped everyone got the signifigance of the phrase she was about to use. "I was speechless."
Total fainted.
