Chapter 15
Interviewing Crash and Eddie
"Hello everyone! Please welcome the troublesome two! Love em or hate em, they are the quirkiest, funniest, and most craziest creations alive! Crash and Eddie are in. The. H-O-U-S-E!"
Crash danced about the chair as Eddie did the piece sign with both paws, as he stood on top of the chair on the tips of his toes, rotating left to right while everyone screamed, cheered and clapped for them.
"Peace!" Eddie yelled. I laughed as I clapped along with the crowd. Soon, the flame of the crowd finally began to settle, before it was vanquished by the sudden, and very eerie silence.
"'Sup guys! Welcome to the show!" I greet as I got a handshake from both.
"Nice to see you!" Said Eddie.
"I never thought we'd be up here!" Piped up Crash excitedly, jumping up onto Eddie's shoulders. I chuckled as they wobbled about from one side of the chair, to the other, but still staying like a tower, not as big as the length between the tips of my fingers, to my elbow.
"You guys are very energetic for an interview!" I pointed out.
"We love being interviewed!" said Crash.
"Yeah! It's so much fu-f-WOAH!"
They suddenly collasped in a heap, a leg sticking out one way, or a head sticking out another way. I bit my lips together, thinking it was funny, but thought it was probably best if didn't laugh. The audience did the opposite... but there was no real reaction apart from the two possums laughing along with them. Knowing it was safe, I started to laugh along too.
"Well before we begin asking the questions, as you know, if you don't want to answer, just say; 'Pass'. Okay?"
"Aye aye!" Crash said, jumping up. He accidentally (maybe, I hope so anyway!) Landed on Eddies head, and they immediately started fighting. Slapping and hitting each other repeatedly on the face, before wrestling on the chair, before rolling off it and landing on the ground with a soft thud. I sat there in silence, looking at them for a few minutes... before looking and the first question... then suddenly laughing my head off. They paused during mid combat, and luckily I did. Eddie was ready to choke Crash to the death, while the possum himself was aiming to hit Eddie where the sun don't shine for any male creature.
"What?" They ask in unison.
"Your first question is from SirCreepington9th! And he asked Will you two ever stop fighting?"
The two brothers looked at each other when they stopped the fighting completely, which was as soon as I finished the question, and sat down properly by one another as the crowd began laughing at the question, now knowing what I was exactly laughing at.
"Well... we're brothers... that's normal... isn't it?" Eddie asked. I nod.
"Of course! It's absolutely normal for siblings to have bickers backers every now and again... Like I do we my siblings... but with you two? It can be a tiny bit extreme." I explain. Crash and Eddie nodded in unision, along with an "O-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H!" As if it was some kind of fact they never heard of in their whole lives... which of course, they probably never heard of it anyway...
"Well he left a little gift," I said, moving on quickly. I gave them a small box, they opened, and gave a huge whoop, taking out these leafy like patches...
"EYE PATCHES!" They exclaimed. They tried them on. "THEIR EXACTLY LIKE BUCKS!" Shouted Crash.
"Thank you SirCreepington!" Thanked Eddie, Crash nodding along beside him. I smiled, knowing they were very thankful for the masks.
"Be sure to thank him with your own presents! How about an autograph!"
"Yeah!" They said. I gave them paper and pencils, because I couldn't trust them with pens... yet. But they didn't whine or complain and wrote away happily, adding little messages on how happy they were with their eye patches, and wished they could have given him more then just an autograph. I read over the notes and thought it was sweet, before handing it over to a stage director, and they went to send it off.
"Right we move onto TimberPaw, he asks both of you: Is there something better on earth than getting nearly killed all the day?"
"Eh..." said crash, scratching the top of his head, "nope! Not really."
"Nothing better to do?"
"Nada!"
I sigh. "Have you ever tried quiet games instead of extreme stunts? Like Noughts and Crosses?"
"Like Now and what, what?" They looked at me strangely. "What world did you come from?" They asked.
"The 21st century," I say with attitude, but they laughed has if I was speaking gibberish.
"Okay Timber's second question is; do you still peer sometimes at night?" I sigh and looked at the audience.
"Really Timber paw? REALLY!" I restrained myself from laughing.
"What?" Asked Crash.
"Nothing important! Just- answer- the question..." There was no way I was going to explain it! No way!
"Well," Eddie began, "no we don't, we prefer to catch beauty sleep rather than peep about the place."
"Ok," I was restrained once more to a civilized human. "And his last question is; Have you had or, still, have a crush on Shira?"
Eddie looked at Crash and grinned, I smirked at Crash while his twin pointed at him from behind, covering his mouth with his free paw, to stop himself from laughing. Crash looked around to see everyone looking at him, giggling. Saying he didn't hear the question proper, I repeated it for him, and this time, he listened carefully, and his eyes went as big as dinner plates. He shook his head quickly.
"NO, NO, NO!" He declared. "I do NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON DIEGO'S LADY! NO way, HOZAY!"
I leaned back, holding my left ear painfully. Everyone in the audience were either doing the same thing or their eyes were shut as they blocked both ears.
"Alright!" I said in annoyance. "No need to scream it. It was only a question!"
"Yeah, but I was only making a statement!"
"Indeed you were," said Eddie, who then cuffed his twin over the ear. "A very, very, LOUD statement!"
Again, the two began to swabble between one another.
"Okay, break it up! BREAK it up!" DonTheHero stepped in and pushed the two away from each other. He slammed each of them into each side of the chair. They struggled against him, their arm flailing around as far as they could go. But they were wincing a little as if they were short of breath.
"Okay Don? Loosen a bit OK? They seem to be a little squashed."
He said he wasn't squeezing them against the chair, but held them up in mid-air by the scruff of their necks instead, only to make it more comical as they dangled and tried to get in physical conflict again.
"Can we continue with the questions please?" Don asked the two. They soon stopped when they saw the threatening look in his eye.
"Yes." They said, hanging their heads.
"Righto! So, moving on we have DonTheHero..." I cough.
"Who is he?"
"Well, turn around." I say, rotating my finger slowly clockwise. They did what they were told, and their eyes went huge when DonTheHero raised an eyebrow up casually, like a true boss.
"Y-you-r DonTheHero?" Stammered Eddie.
"Yep," he replied silkly.
"The body guard!?" Groaned Crash. He looked over at me. "SERIOUSLY?"
Big Mistake. Don raised Crash closer to his face, which I personally thought wasn't a good idea, in case Crash didn't something incredibly stupid. But by the way Don was looking at him with squinting eyes and now enlarged nostrils by holding his breath, he meant serious business.
"And? So what?" He said in a threatening tone. Crash gulped.
"N-n-n-nothing!" He said. "I meant 'SERIOUSLY?' A-a-as-s-s-s in 'Yes! I love this dude!"
Don's eyes remained the way they were, but he took him away from his face. "Good. Now my first question is; What was the craziest stunt you ever pulled?"
The two looked at each other, before looking at Don. "Do you mind putting us down? So we can talk about this?"
Don peered at them suspiciously.
"No funny business."
"Promise!" They said.
Don placed them down on the chair. The two huddled together, and whispered back and forth, there was a little bit of bickering for a couple of seconds, but then they eventually turned and answered together;
"We can't decide."
I stared at them with shock. Even Don was a little taken back with surprise.
"You serious!?" He said. They just nodded.
"We did so many wierd, yet amazing things... we just can choose!" Said Crash.
Raising an eyebrow, Don asked his next question- Were you guys always in a lack of a better term crazy?"
The two look at each other, then returned the raise eyebrow at Don, and I found this creepy.
"Do we really need to answer that?!"
Don and I looked at each other. He was giving me a curious, and surprised look. I shrugged.
"They gotta point," I said, and this made Don nod back in defeat. This made Crash and Eddie feel slightly more bolder, and braver, and casually asked him what his next question was.
"Right, question 3 is; What did you think when Savannah started to change?"
"Oh!" Eddie hopped up and down. "I thought it was awesome! Especially the part when her hair turned white!"
"And it was hilarious when she let out the sound of a mammoth!" Added Crash. He suddenly snorted with laughter, making me jump back. "I could have sworn that she was doing some sort of impression of Manny!"
Don laughed too, along with the audience.
"and my final question is; What would you guys say if I asked if you could do a "small" job for me?" He glanced at me with a small smirk and an evil gleam in his eyes... and I didn't feel at all safe.
"Er... We'd say yes?" Eddie said slowly, with Crash nodding beside him. Don's smirk never left his face.
"Okay," he said. "Meet me back stage after the interview."
The two nodded, and I asked them Pikachufan260's question; "why do you guys always fight all the time cause is it sibling issues or just to show you guys care for each other?"
"It's just in general really," Eddie said. "Like you said earlier Cookie, you are the same with your siblings, bickering and squabbling all the time... but we still care for each other."
I gave a small smile, and poor Crash was in tears.
"I-I-I LOVE YOU MAN!" He sobbed, only to make Eddie do the same thing and they hugged.
"Aw..." said the audience. I covered my mouth with both hands, nearly ready to cry, thinking it was so sweet... and so... touching.
"Um..." I began slowly, causing the brothers to turn around to me, still hugging. "Not wanting to ruin the moment but... I water works are about to leak so... can we move on quickly?"
"Water works?" Asked Crash, but then he know what I meant because of eyes were welling up, and quickly allowed me to move on before a tear could even escape my eyes.
"SexyMammothgirl said," I begin sniffling. "What do you think of the island?"
"We think it's awesome!" Said Crash. "We love exploring and surfing down dirt hills and cliffs!"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Are you sure it was a real dirt hole? Made of Soil? Nothing more?"
The two nodded, obviously oblivious to what I said, and was referring to... so I moved on to question 2; What are your greatest fears?"
"Of not having a good time, being eaten by Diego, missing any new news feed around the island, not getting our favorite food," Crash listed, Eddie nodding along.
"And finally question 3; Do you ever see buck?"
"Yeah! He's back stage! We were telling him about everything that had happened since we last saw him, and introduced him to Jade! And to answer MammothGirl's question, we never see him all the time... until when we're back stage."
"I see," I reply, seeing the sadness on their faces. "Enjoy the time you have with him anyways..."
"We will!" They replied.
"Alright, we are on last questioner; Shiego627, who asked; 1. Crash, Eddie, whos better?"
"Me!" They said in unison. They glared at each other, and, with a sigh, I watched them fight again, until DonTheHero stepped in again, lifted them up, and banged their heads together, with my permission.
"Let's quickly move on," I say. "Question 2. What do u guys think of Shira when u met her?"
"She seemed awesome! Including that she knows all the cool kung fu, fighting skills and stuff!" Crash declared, point one finger in the air (not rudely!) As he remained off the ground.
"We wanna to know how to do it too!" Eddie added. "Then we came be real pirates!"
I looked at them weirdly. "I thought you guys wanted to be like Buck ever since you have first seen him?"
"Yeah, but also we wanna be a pirate too, and they are pretty much the same thing; their both adventurous and care-free."
"Not to mention violent," I mutter. "Question 3 is; Can I, as in Shiego, have a hug?"
"Sure! We'll give her one as soon as we see her!"
"And finally, her last question is; What is your favorite prank?"
Crash and Eddie giggled, and then smirked evilly. I questioned them about it again, they said they are thinking over them all, but i felt that they were gonna do something, so I slyly made eye contact with Don, and he knew what I meant, or felt, and stood near me.
"Well?" Don asked, folding his arms, "what is your most favorite prank?"
"Come on guys," I say impatiently, "spit it out. What. is. Your. Favorite. Prank?"
"This one," they said evilly. "UNLEASH THE BUCKET!"
I suddenly felt fear, but then... I felt... numb, and cold...
"AH!" I screamed.
"BRRRR- you guys are SOOOOOO DEAD!" Shouted Don, who was now, like me, soaked to the bone! The bucket of water was now swaying in mid air, and I knew, we all knew at this point, that Crash and Eddie were up to it.
"Interview's over!" Shouted Eddie.
"Later!" Said Crash, and they ran out the stage doors. I sat there, freezing, as the whole audience laughed at me, and at Don, who was now chasing the two. We could all hear their screaming... and a load of crashes were in ear's reach. I close my eyes.
"Well," I said shortly. "After the break, when I'm dry and primped up again, and when I get my hands on those two, AND finding out what Don meant by him meeting them after the interview... we'll be speaking to the Brat Pack, and Kiki, Louis' girlfriend."
Everyone cheered as I left the stage, leaving a puddle trail behind every step...
Vengeance at it's boiling point.
I am back!
Hope you liked it!
Sorry for the long wait!
I had so much happening! I got my results back from school, and I got 8 honours and 2 passes! That's a good thing! I'm so happy! All is explained in my Oneshots for ice age :)
Brat pack + Kiki are up next!
Ciao!
