Coming to America
Prologue
Lime looked at his opponent. He had humiliated him
before, but that was going to change. He was going
to beat him. Lime raised his fist high into the air and
brought it down for the final time.
"Scissors!"
Lime held out two fingers and saw that the monkey still
had its hand closed in front of itself.
Lime grabbed his head and yelled,"Everytime! How do you
always know what I'm going to do?!"
"Ook," the monkey responded.
Lime said,"C'mon! Just one more game! Okay?"
The monkey ooked and Lime laughed evily.
He said,"Oh, I'm going to beat you this time!"
He brought his fist down again.
"Scissors!"
The monkey still had its hand closed.
Lime screamed in anguish and Mint said,"Shut up! I'm
trying to hear what the council is telling Herb-sama."
Mint pressed his ear up to a door and he didn't notice
the figure that was standing behind him.
The figure asked Mint,"What are you doing?"
Mint said,"Oh, I'm listening to the council talking
to Herb-sama."
The figure said,"Really? You do realize that the meeting
was held in the room at the end of the hall, right?"
Mint turned around and said,"Say how would you know
tha- Uh, Herb-sama! I was just... feeling the wood on this
door."
Mint pressed his face to the door and said,"Mmm... Mahogany."
Herb groaned and said,"Whatever. Lime get rid of that monkey
before I kill it."
Lime whined,"But I still haven't beaten him."
Herb growled and Lime grabbed the monkey and threw it
out the window. As the monkey fell to the ground it looked
back on its life before it hit the ground. <Why did I have
to be so goddamn curious?!>
Herb said,"Now, I'm sure you were interested in knowing what
was spoken to me in the meeting with the council. I was told
that I will enter an erranged marriage."
Mint pulled his face from the door and asked,"Why not just
kidnap some girl?"
Herb said,"Remember the last girl you kidnaped?"
Lime and Mint nodded their heads. How could they not forget
her? She seemed actually rather fragile so they didn't really think
that Herb would approve of her. But when they had come
to the palace it had started to rain. That's when the real trouble
began. They were all lucky that the three headed, six armed
demon woman had lost interest in them and left. But still she
had destroyed half of the castle with errant fireballs. After the
whole ordeal Lime and Mint had both said that the girl had
a lot more spirit than they originally thought. Herb had then beat the
crap out of them.
Herb said,"Anyway the council has arranged a marriage with myself
and a young heiress who lives in," Herb said the next word with
great contempt,"America."
Lime and Mint jumped for a joy and they did exactly what Herb had
not wanted them to do.
They began to sing.
Now in history there have been some pretty awful singers, but Lime
and Mint probably topped them all. They sounded worse than a dozen
kittens yowling, worse than a hand scraping across a chalkboard. Hell,
they even sounded worse than Rod Stewart.
Lime and Mint really hadn't found much interest in singing until they
went to the outside world. They had briefly stopped by a karoohke
bar and that is when their love for music came about. Now Herb couldn't
go a day without hearing their wretched voices blaring out some tune
from the tapes that they had taken from a music store in Japan.
Herb was in Hell.
The horrible duo bellowed out,"I like to be in America! Okay by me
America! Everything free in America! Everything good in America!"
Herb threw a chi blast at them to make them stop and said,"I knew
shouldn't have let you two watch West Side Story."
Lime and Mint got back up and Herb said,"Now let's get ready and go
to America. Do you two speak American?"
Mint said,"Ah, Herb-sama they don't speak American they speak English."
Herb narrowed his eyes and said,"Are you correcting me?"
Mint shook his head and said,"No! They speak American!"
Herb said,"That's what I thought. So do you two speak American?"
Lime said,"Yes Herb-sama. How else were we going to figure out what
they're saying on those ABBA tapes?"
The two 'sang',"Voulez Vous! Ah ha! Take it now or leave it! Ah ha!
Now is all we get! Ah ha! Nothing promised, no regrets! Voulez Vous!"
Herb cupped his hands over his ears and grumbled to himself,"This is
going to be a long trip."
To Be Continued... (I guess)
Until I find better things to write about. Ja ne.
