"Gagh!" Kovu fell face first into the muddy puddle.

"Agg!" He squirmed all about, consiquently getting his entire body covered in mud.

"Ohno, it'll...harden,must consult fairy." Heh...sorry, inside joke. Suddenly, he felt something by his foot.

"The stones for the tavern! I found them! I'm a hero, I'm a hero!" He danced around for a minute, then hefted all the stones

and made way back for the Tavern. Unfortunatley, he hadn't made it a meter before a large guy with a gun said,

"Arite, hand ovah da' stones an' no body gets hoit."

"Yea right, like I'd hand them over to a thug like you, why I should--" In mid sentence, the thug whacked Kovu across the face with his gun, the latter collapsing in a mass of pain as the thug got away with the stones. Kovu stood again just in time for the mud to harden. Suddenly, a short, floating lady with a blue dress and wings appeared,

"You again!?" They shouted in unison.

"Well if it isn't you again, and I still think you should've taken a bath!"

"Well this time I can't move, so unless you can BRING water to me there's nothing I can do!"

"Curse you!" Dispite being immobile, Kovu threw a acorn at her head, and she cast a evil spell that caused weeds to grow out of his face.

"Listen, you can tell that disembodied voice guy that he can dump me in all the corn juice he wants, if you just go tell the other taverners about that thuggish guy so he doesn't get away with the stones!"

"Fine, we have a deal." And in a puff of smoke, the fairy dissapeared.



Ehe...sorry about all the inside jokeness, someone, continue, anyone?
