Mist

“Red has been out there for ages,” said Fuen.

“He’ll be fine,” replied Yuffie.

“You don’t think he’s gotten lost in the mist, do you?” asked Fuen.

“Nah,” said Yuffie.

“I reckon that mist is due to global warming,” interjected Hydra.

“Now there’s a hot topic,” said Yuffie.

Fuen groaned.

Fore

“Don’t do that again,” sighed Spectre, pulling Sprite out of the water.

“Sorry,” said Sprite, “didn’t think it was that deep.”

“I don’t get why you jumped off the jetty,” grumbled Spectre.

“To be honest,” moaned Sprite. “Pier pressure.”

Air

“Do you think the balloonist will mind?” asked Sprite.

“I hope not,” replied Spectre.

“We did launch it before he was ready,” said Sprite.

“Looks like he’s still chasing us on foot,” said Spectre.

“He seems pretty angry,” said Sprite.

“Nah,” said Spectre, “he’s just full of hot air.”

Tennis

“It’s been tried,” sighed White.

“What’s that” asked Fuen.

“We were just discussing fish in sports,” said Black.

“Tried gettin’ a shoal of fish to play tennis,” said White.

“Ah,” said Fuen, “what was the problem?”

“Couldn’t get them near the nets,” sighed White.

Mum

“Can we mum?” asked the spiders in unison.

“No,” replied Mum.

“Oooooh, but muuuuuum,” whined the spiders in unison.

“No means no,” said Mum.

“But all our friends have started blogging,” moaned the spiders.

“Listen,” said Mum, “you three spend far too much time on the web already!”

Hair

“Smoke, you don’t have any hair,” said Fuen.

“Yes I do,” said Smoke, “look.”

Smoke ruffled the top of his head.

“Yeah, but that ain’t actually hair is it,” stated Fuen.

“Could be,” sighed Smoke.

“A hairdresser would say you are bald, mate,” said Red.

“Oh, now that’s a cutting remark,” replied Smoke.

Fuen winced.

Ash

“Oh piss off,” said Cigarette.

Ash laughed. “Oh, come on!”

“What’s up?” asked Fuen.

“Cigarette won’t play with me anymore,” said Ash.

“Why not?” asked Fuen.

“Because,” sighed Cigarette, “I’m sick of being the butt of his jokes.”

Ash smirked.

Fuen groaned.

Bridges

“I mean that could be a metaphor for life,” said Sprite, watching the fires burning on the bridge.

“Yeah,” sighed Fuen, “burnt a few too many bridges in my time.”

“Regrets?” asked Sprite.

“Many,” replied Fuen.

“How about you Yuffie?” asked Sprite.

“Oh, I don’t regret burning down bridges,” replied Yuffie. “I only regret some people weren’t on them at the time.”

Skype

“Excuse me,” said Reala, “I think I’m lost.”

The human walked past without a second glance.

“God, I’m lonely here,” sighed Reala.

“Oi!” came a voice from the tree.

Reala turned to see a bright orange bug clamped onto the bark.

“Think you’re lonely?” asked the bug, “I’m so lonely, whenever I use Skype I only have Echo to talk to.”

Balance

“Is that Hydra balancing on top of that building?” asked Sprite.

“Yup,” replied Yuffie.

“What’s that he’s eating?” asked Fuen.

“Donuts,” sighed Yuffie.

“But why is he eating them up there?” asked Sprite.

“Because,” sighed Yuffie, “I told him he needed to eat a more balanced diet.”
