Chapter 31

Okay, bored now

"Hmm, I think they've had enough, Sienna," Princess Joy said at last.

"Okay," Sienna said, and stopped force feeding Isaac, Taylor and Zac chocolate.

"Ugh," said Taylor, "if I never have chocolate again..."

"Uh oh," Tristan said suddenly. "I'm going to go again..."

Another spasm later, the Hansons were in yet another dimension.

"Okay, seriously, this is getting annoying," Zac said. "Stop it already!"

"I have no control over it," Tristan replied with a shrug.

"Umm, okay, so where are we?" Taylor asked, looking around.

"I have no idea," Isaac replied. "But wherever we are, it appears to have improved your diction."

"There's nothing wrong with my diction," Taylor objected.

"I don't know Tay," Zac replied. "You do tend to muffle words a lot, but you're being much more articulate right now."

"There is nothing wrong with my diction!"

"Not at the moment, anyway."

"Hey..." Tristan interrupted before Taylor could reply, "what's that noise?"

They were all quiet and listened for a moment. Sure enough, there was an odd noise, and it was getting louder, and louder...

"Some people started singing it not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because it is the song that never ends. It just goes on and on my friend. Some people..."

"You are kidding me," Fred said, flabbergasted. "They're still going?"

"Huh?" Tristan asked.

"Oh Fred started this back in Chapter Two," Zac said dismissingly as the three girls appeared. "They can't seem to stop..."

"Well, it is the song that never ends."

"Yeah, but what are they doing here?" Isaac asked.

"Ongoing joke?" Tristan suggested. "The Narrator does have a weird sense of humour. Why do you think Taylor got abducted by a griffin who wanted him to marry his foster daughter?"

"Hey, how do you know about that?" Taylor questioned.

"Okay, bored now. Tristan? Darling, it's time for you to home."

"What? No grand ‘Hey I’ve mastered my power’ scene?”

“And have your big moment before you even appear in the story you were created for in the first place? Ha! Nay m’boy. Besides, I have other story plots I wanna get on with.”

“Aww... but it’s no fun if you just step in... Can’t you let us, as characters, figure out how to get back to the plot on our own?”

“I didn’t make you that smart. Oh, okay, fine then. Just a tick...”

“Hey,” said Zac. “How is it that you can get her to do what you want?”

“I’m just that charming.”

“He must have gotten it off his mother,” Taylor snickered.

Zac poked his tongue out at him.

“So, what do you suppose she’s going to do?” asked Isaac.

“Something fun I -” Tristan began.

Then out from the mud (which they only just realised they were standing on), a giant, two headed monster appeared. He grabbed Tristan with one clawed hand and Isaac, Taylor, Zac and Fred with the other and swallowed them whole.
