Copper Pans

“Apples? Do you like apples?”

She offered an apple out to the mechanical creature.

“Click, click, whir,” came the reply without a bite.

“Oh, I don’t know,” she sighed. “She just left you with me and told me to keep you fed. I mean what the bloody ‘eck do I feed a clockwork lizard!”

She wandered into the kitchen to continue preparing her apple pie.

“It’s not easy you know, she’s so random! And shes got all this weird stuff. You’re about the least weird thing she’s given me”, she mused as he dropped in the apples, syrup, brown sugar and drop of oil into the beaten copper pan

She ambled back into the room and stood to face the metal lizard.

CHOMP!

She looked down at what remained of the copper pans handle.

“Copper. You like copper?”

Step Up

“She takes the stairs, every single time man,” cried Spectre.

“It’s just one of those things,” sighed Sprite.

“Yeah,” groaned Spectre. “But I always prefer the escalators.”

“Bruv, I don’t mean to sound rude,” said Sprite. “But maybe you were just raised differently.”

Trivia. A fear of slopes or stairs is called bathmophobia. I wonder if there’s a really scared person somewhere naming all the different fears and phobias in the world…

“Man, I got nothing left,” grumbled Sprite.

“You can’t have spent it all!” gasped Yuffie.

“Every ruddy penny,” groaned Sprite.

“What on?” asked Yuffie.

“Belts,” replied Sprite. “I bought seven hundred and eighty-six Italian made leather belts.”

“Well,” sighed Yuffie, “I mean that’s just gone to waist…”

“Hey, Lucy,” called Yuffie. “How’d the date go?”

“Well, I took the new lady to the ice rink,” replied Lucy.

“Oh, nice,” said Yuffie. “Did you use the two for one ticket I gave you?”

“Yep,” grumbled Lucy. “She called me a cheap-skate.”

“Sprite, brah,” said Spectre.

“Yes, bruv?” asked Sprite.

“If I’m ever on life-support, I want you to unplug me,” said Spectre.

“And then?” pushed Sprite.

“Plug me back in and see if I start,” replied Spectre.

“Hows the new neighbours?” asked Clouds.
“I baked them a box of skeleton cookies,” said Yuffie.
“And I threw them a house-warming party,” said Lucy.
“No, Lucy, it was arson,” sighed Yuffie.
“That’s just what the police call it,” grumbled Lucy.

“I can’t stand the loud ones,” sighed Reala.
“Neither can I,” replied Hydra. “That’s why I make my own.”
“You make your own fireworks?” gasped Yuffie.
“Oh yeah,” replied Hydra. “I mean, on the one hand, home-made fireworks are a blast!”
“And on the other hand?” asked Reala.
“I only have two fingers,” sighed Hydra.

“It just drives me mad,” squawked Fuen.

“All the feels,” said Reala.

“I mean I get it,” sighed Fuen. “It just annoys me when people seek constant reassurance.”

“Mmmhmm,” replied Reala.

“Do ya know what I mean?” grouched Fuen.

Reala, raised an eyebrow. Then poured another drink. “Yup.”

“Got a pretty good vocabulary though,” said Clouds.
“I’ve never been able to spell or pronounce ‘mileniuimumn,’” sighed Hydra.
“Funny thing,” sighed Clouds. “I can never spell ‘icy.’”
“Well,” replied Hydra. “I see why.”

“It’d give me a rush, you know?” lamented Hydra.
“I used to get such a thrill out racing hedgehogs,” sighed Red.
“I used to get a thrill out of stealing kitchen utensils,” sighed Sprite.
Red and Hydra turned to Sprite, awaiting further explanation.
“Tells ya,” said Sprite. “I was a real whisk taker.”
