Folie a Deux - creating participation and fun- "story time"



This story is submitted by Lucy Ramsey on Folie A deux. the competition was proffered by Charlie on Celebrate, based upon an idea from Claire on Ghost as a fun activity for the WORLD ARC boats making the crossing rom B ali to Christmas Island. What a great idea to engage the fleet!!

The Deux and the Ratz[pronounced Ducks and Rats]

Once upon a time, there was a group of Adela deux, that lived in a poole on the star of Polaris. They were celebrating the finding of a Saphir mine nearby. Unfortunately a clan of American Ratz, from the land of Oz in the Andromeda Galaxy, had recently landed on the other side of the star, The Alpheratz name was Merlyn and he had recently lente his edible pearl industry to his cousin Darwin, who refused to give it back so he was bankrupt. He was developing a plan to thwart the festina and take the Saphir mine for his own.
Merlyn’s twin daughters Shaya, and Moya were helping him develop this plan.
“We need an Avocet missile, 27,852 Lluiton bags, and a ghost.” They said.
“A Ghost? Are you inferring we free Civetta?”
“Yes, but it is no easy task.” responded the twins.
“What do you propose then?”asked Merlyn.
“First we will deploy the Lluiton bags on the deux to suffocate them, then just in case any of them escape we will bomb the deux’s houses with an Avocet, and if there are any left we will send Civetta down so that all who are left alive run away, never to come back.”

Meanwhile on the other side of Polaris:
The queen of the Deux; Lu, was soaking up the joy of the celebration, when suddenly she heard loud quakcking from all around the poole. “There are designer bags falling from the sky!”
Lu looked around her to discover that, designer Lluiton bags were in fact falling from the sky. “Everyone head to the bomb shelter!” quacked Lu superiorly, as she watched Avocets crash into the Deux houses. Everyone waddled as quickly as they could to the bomb shelter, when they finally all made it inside Lu took count.
“We are all quite lucky ducks that all 27,852 of us are here.”
“Whoever did this needs to be punished!” Quacked one of the ducks from the back
“Okay,” said Lu. “But first we need a plan.

Meanwhile at the ratz base:
“They’re all still alive!?” Squeaked Merlyn furiously. “How is that even possible?”
“It appears they have an underground bomb shelter.” Said Moya.
“Since when do deux build bomb shelters?”
“I believe it was-“
“Nevermind I don’t care, get someone to deploy Civetta.”
“On it.”

In the Deux bunker they started to hear the voices of Civetta.
“Ooooooooooooooooooh!” said the ghost
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!” quacked the deuxs.
“Ooooooooooh!”
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhh-“
“Whoever is pretending to be a ghost could you please stop, it’s an awful impersonation, and I can’t focus.” Said Lu.
“Oooooooooooooohoooooooooooooh!”
“Oh whatever, where is Sorrocco?” Sirocco was the deux nuclear war scientist, he came for free with the installation of the bomb shelter.
“Here!” he quaked as he waddled up to the deux queen.
“Is there any way you can obliterate whatever species it was that ruined are celebration? Because if there is, you need to do it now.”
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!!!!!!!!” Said the Ghost
“I SAID BE QUIET!”
“Yes I believe their base is-“
“I don’t care where there base is, just do your job.”
So Sirocco set off the missile, and the deux waited.

At the Ratz base:
Merlyn was wondering why the deux hadn’t left Polaris never to come back yet. “AAAAAAAAAGH!” he squeaked. He turned towards Shaya and Moya “Nexus time whatever you do it better work!”
Just as he finished his sentence, their base was hit by the Deux nuclear missile, and all the rats died, the end.
