“So, there’s this banging on my door right,” said Blue.
“Right,” replied Fisherman.
“And it’s these two coppers, right,” said Blue.
“Right,” said Fisherman.
“They tell me there’s been a complaint about my dog chasing a man on a bicycle,” said Blue.
“Mmmhmm,” murmured Fisherman.
“So I tells em straight,” gesticulated Blue, “my dog doesn’t own a bicycle.”

“What does he mean,” asked Hydra.
“He means he is going to replicate us for sale,” sighed Yuffie.
“He’s gonna clone us,” gasped Hydra.
“No,” sighed Yuffie. “It’s worse. He is going to put pictures of us on Etsy.”
“Like artwork,” asked Hydra.
“Yeah,” replied Yuffie.
“If he makes any prints of me,” grumbled Fuen, “I am going to make him Regretsy…”

“A chicken brothel?” asked Yuffie.
“Oh yes,” said Fuen, “it’s the next big thing in bird life.”
“So chickens come here and hire, what exactly?” asked Yuffie.
“Anything they want” replied Fuen, opening a door.
Before them was a small room with a messy bed in the middle. In the bed lay a very frustrated looking egg, and beside it, a very satisfied looking chicken, puffing on a cigarette.
“Well,” says Smoke, “I guess this answers one question…”

“Haven’t seen you in ages,” said Kraken.
“Not very good sea legs,” replied Spectre.
“No oars or sail,” pondered Kraken. “Are you adrift?”
“Afraid so,” said Spectre. “Came looking for you, lost my oars, and now I’m being pulled away from the shore by a strong current.”
“Oh dear,” said Kraken. “Hey, if you have a fish pun for me I’ll push you back to shore.”
“Oh for goodness sake, Kraken!” exclaimed Spectre. “This is not the time or the plaice…”

“Still after fish puns?” asked Cloud.
“Yeah,” replied Kraken, “got any new ones?”
“Afraid not,” said Cloud.
“I am thinking of offering a reward for the best fish pun” said Kraken.
“Maybe 300 shells for the winning pun?” suggested Cloud.
“Not a bad idea for a prize,” said Kraken, “are you interested?”
Cloud pondered for a moment. “Let me mullet over…”

“Well,” said Spectre, “it wasn’t that bad.”
“But she did damage, right?” asked Fuen.
“Well yes,” said Spectre, “but she only ate the clock tower.”
“Aye?” questioned Fuen.
“Oooh,” interrupted Yuffie, “that would be because White is on a clock diet at the moment.”
“A clock diet?” sighed Fuen.
“Yeah,” said Yuffie, “it’s quite time consuming.”

“Would you three break it up?” yelled Yuffie.
“He started it!” said Clouds.
“No, he started it,” stropped Clouds.
“Nuh uh, it was him,” hissed Clouds.
“OK,” said Yuffie, “what happened?”
“He threw a tropical bird at me,” shouted Clouds.
“And then?” asked Yuffie.
“I showed him,” growled Clouds. “Toucan play at that game!”

“He sounds a bit melancholy,” said Red.
“Well he is a little,” replied Serpent.
“Any reason?” asked Red.
“It all started that day he attacked a laundrette,” said Serpent. “He ate 3 barrels of colouring for clothes in the attack.”
“Oh dear,” said Red.
“Mmmhmm” mused Serpent. “From that day on it was like he’d dyed a little inside.”

“They creep me out,” shuddered Fuen.
“Tell me about it,” said Yuffie.
“Do you know what makes them worse?” asked Fuen. “They used to be bankers.”
“Wait” paused Yuffie, “the spiders used to be bankers?”
“Oh yes,” replied Fuen.
“Why did they leave the banking profession and become spiders?” asked Yuffie.
“Not sure,” said Fuen, “I think they lost interest.”

“Calm down, Spider!” yelled Fuen.
“No!” shouted Spider. “Wargglegarble!”
“Please don’t trash another city,” pleaded Fuen.
“That mayor shoved a packet of cuppa soup in my mouth!” screeched Spider.
“That’s what set you off?” asked Fuen. “All this over a cuppa soup?”
“Heck yeah!” snorted Spider, while ripping the top of a building off. “Nobody treats me like a mug!”
