Shoulda Said

Here, in all of it's splendor, is the bedtime story I told Christina tonight. Enjoy!

Me (10:50:25 PM): Okay, story time.
Christina (10:50:42 PM): okay go!
Me (10:50:47 PM): Once, there was this mystical pony named Rufus.
Me (10:51:06 PM): Rufus wore a necklace made out of silver and gold and copper and one strand of a dragon's mustache.
Me (10:51:48 PM): He had shaved the mustache as a favor to the dragon, who's long slender fingernails prevented him from using the razor properly.
Me (10:53:48 PM): Rufus was on a magical adventure one day with his companion, the robot CD900.
Christina (10:53:56 PM): haha
Me (10:53:59 PM): Who's only real function was to hold signs that said palindromes.
Christina (10:54:05 PM): hahaha
Me (10:54:27 PM): He had a "yay" sign, and a "boob" sign, and one that said "No lemons, no melon." for special occasions.
Me (10:55:02 PM): CD900 would ride Rufus using his specially tailored robot saddle that had stirrups with flashing lights on them.
Me (10:55:15 PM): Oh yeah, and Rufus could fly with the magic from the dragon hair.
Me (10:55:39 PM): So Rufus was flying, and CD900 was on back, and suddenly, there was a frying pan with two eggs and a side of bacon in front of them.
Christina (10:55:46 PM): haha
Christina (10:55:51 PM): this story kicks ass!
Me (10:55:54 PM): And the frying pan began to talk, because the eggs were also magically from a dragon.
Me (10:56:03 PM): And it asked Rufus and CD900 to go on a quest for it.
Me (10:56:18 PM): They didn't have anything better to do, so they said yes.
Me (10:56:33 PM): And then, the frying pan asked "don't you want to know what the quest is?" and they said "no,. we'll figure it out eventually"
Christina (10:56:42 PM): haha
Me (10:56:44 PM): So Rufus and CD900 flew off, leaving behind the bewildered frying pan.
Me (10:56:55 PM): They came to a cave, and immediately realized that it was part of their quest.
Me (10:57:02 PM): So they went in, and inside they found...
Christina (10:57:27 PM): the suspense is killing me!
Me (10:57:30 PM): A PILE OF SOCKS!!!
Christina (10:57:40 PM): hahah
Christina (10:57:42 PM): what?!
Me (10:57:44 PM): The crazy part is, none of the socks matched!
Christina (10:57:50 PM): that IS crazy!
Me (10:57:51 PM): Rufus and CD900 were puzzled.
Me (10:57:59 PM): And tried to make sense of the pile.
Christina (10:58:01 PM): haha
Me (10:58:08 PM): When a three-eyed sloth came in.
Me (10:58:17 PM): This sloth had a regular amount of toes, but one extra eye.
Christina (10:58:24 PM): hahaha
Me (10:58:32 PM): And it said "what are you doing near my sock pile?!"
Me (10:58:47 PM): And Rufus and CD900 panicked, because they don't like third eyes.
Christina (10:58:58 PM): was it a shifty third eye?
Me (10:59:02 PM): CD900 held up a sign that said "Mom" to no avail.
Me (10:59:05 PM): Of course it was.
Christina (10:59:10 PM): hahhaha
Me (10:59:12 PM): Most third eyes are shifty.
Christina (10:59:20 PM): the mom sign didn't work??
Me (10:59:24 PM): No!
Me (10:59:28 PM): Can you believe it?!
Christina (10:59:32 PM): i cannot!!
Me (10:59:49 PM): The only thing left to do was to pull out the handy copy of Monopoly that Rufus always carried in his back pocket.
Me (11:00:00 PM): Also, he always carried a pair of jeans so he could have a back pocket.
Christina (11:00:11 PM): hahaa
Me (11:00:14 PM): They were huge jeans, so that they could fit his game of Monopoly in them.
Christina (11:00:24 PM): okay good, i was wondering
Me (11:00:40 PM): Slaadrag, which turned out to be the sloth's name, Rufus, and CD900 played a game of Monopoly for the next four hours.
Me (11:00:55 PM): And over the course of the game, they became the best of friends.
Christina (11:01:09 PM): what about them socks?
Me (11:01:15 PM): Slaadrag was the fastest of the sloths, and won the shifty third eye in a speed competition in the fourth grade.
Me (11:01:17 PM): I'm getting to them!
Christina (11:01:39 PM): wait that last part didn't make sense
Me (11:01:51 PM): Slaadrag decided to come on the quest, but in order to do that he had to fake his own death.
Christina (11:01:52 PM): he won the shifty third eye?
Me (11:01:54 PM): Yes.
Me (11:02:01 PM): Sloths are wonderful opticians.
Christina (11:02:03 PM): haha
Me (11:02:17 PM): They reward their champions with ocular surgery.
Christina (11:02:21 PM): hahaha
Christina (11:02:28 PM): wait i thought the quest was to the socks
Me (11:02:33 PM): No!
Me (11:02:39 PM): That's what you would think, though, isn't it?
Me (11:02:52 PM): In his will, Slaadrag gave the socks to charity.
Christina (11:02:56 PM): haha
Me (11:03:01 PM): Because deep down, he was not shifty after all.
Me (11:03:23 PM): CD900 was so happy, he held up a sign that said "Ana".
Christina (11:03:30 PM): hahahhahahaha
Me (11:03:49 PM): The three left the cave, and resumed their celestial journey.
Me (11:03:53 PM): Because all of this is in space!
Me (11:04:14 PM): Rufus is a space pony!
Christina (11:04:38 PM): whoa!
Me (11:04:41 PM): The three compatriots entered a passing meteor shower and caught a ride on Halley's comet.
Christina (11:04:47 PM): i secretly knew it was in space
Me (11:04:54 PM): Which took them to a waterfall in the middle of nowhere.
Christina (11:05:05 PM): i love that place!
Me (11:05:27 PM): CD900 wanted to say "This is where the quest is, I know it!" but all he could say was "Yo, bang a salami, I'm a lasagna boy" which made no sense in the current context.
Me (11:05:33 PM): Rufus hates it when CD900 makes no sense.
Christina (11:05:36 PM): hahahahaha
Christina (11:05:45 PM): this is the best story ever!
Me (11:06:04 PM): Rufus, Slaadrag, and CD900 went behind the waterfall and found a sparkling bottle of root beer.
Christina (11:06:12 PM): eww
Christina (11:06:15 PM): root beer is gross
Me (11:06:41 PM): I know!
Me (11:06:46 PM): No one wanted to touch it.
Me (11:07:12 PM): What were they going to do?!
Christina (11:07:27 PM): i don't know!!
Me (11:07:29 PM): Luckily, Slaadrag had one last sock that got stuck to his fur thanks to the high levels of static electricity in space.
Christina (11:07:29 PM): i'm scared!
Christina (11:07:35 PM): haha
Me (11:07:42 PM): So they picked up the root beer with the sock.
Christina (11:07:56 PM): good call
Me (11:07:59 PM): And suddenly, a giant rocket ship shot out of a nearby hole in a nearby curtain.
Christina (11:08:08 PM): haha
Me (11:08:11 PM): And everyone was shocked that they missed the curtain earlier.
Christina (11:08:17 PM): haha
Me (11:08:21 PM): The rocket was headed straight towards them!
Christina (11:08:25 PM): what>
Christina (11:08:29 PM): oh no!?
Christina (11:08:43 PM): where did the rocket come from?
Me (11:08:51 PM): Time-space vortex.
Me (11:08:57 PM): Behind the curtain, that's what it was covering.
Christina (11:09:11 PM): ohh, duh
Me (11:09:14 PM): Suddenly, the rocket stopped, and a giant nose popped out of it.
Me (11:09:18 PM): And started to sneeze.
Me (11:09:22 PM): Because it was allergic to dragon fur.
Christina (11:10:18 PM): ewww
Christina (11:10:23 PM): rockets have noses?
Me (11:10:23 PM): The nose introduced itself as Orbex, dastardly ruler of the third kingdom of Galacticon 9.
Christina (11:10:37 PM): wait isn't that the name of dan's cold medicine?
Me (11:10:51 PM): No, that's Ornex.
Me (11:10:58 PM): Who actually sent Orbex through the vortex.
Christina (11:10:59 PM): ooohh
Christina (11:11:01 PM): haha
Christina (11:11:05 PM): what next?
Me (11:11:20 PM): See, Ornex is a janitor who has a special mop that allows him to pose as ruler's noses, and therefore take over their kingdoms.
Christina (11:11:25 PM): i'm falling over here can this story end soon?
Christina (11:11:34 PM): i really love your story though
Christina (11:11:38 PM): its the best EVER
Christina (11:11:52 PM): and i want to hear it all but i'm too tired to look at the screen
Me (11:11:53 PM): So, Rufus and the crew flew through the vortex and spilled the root beer all over the floor.
Christina (11:12:00 PM): oh no!
Me (11:12:09 PM): While Ornex was busy mopping up the mess, they pushed him, and he dropped the mop.
Christina (11:12:18 PM): what?
Me (11:12:33 PM): And was exposed to the throngs of noses as the traitor that he was.
Christina (11:13:00 PM): that doesn't make sense
Me (11:13:07 PM): Of course it does!
Me (11:13:12 PM): The mop was the source of his power!
Christina (11:13:14 PM): nu uh
Christina (11:13:20 PM): okay fine
Me (11:13:25 PM): He's a janitor!
Me (11:13:27 PM): He cleans floors!
Me (11:13:34 PM): They took advantage of this fact.
Christina (11:13:41 PM): whatever this story was the best ever.....
Me (11:13:46 PM): The end.
Christina (11:13:52 PM): haha just kidding :-)
Me (11:13:57 PM): You don't deserve an ending.
Christina (11:14:00 PM): aww come on!
Me (11:14:07 PM): What do I get out of it?
Me (11:14:10 PM): More scorn?
Christina (11:14:16 PM): my undying affection!
Me (11:14:21 PM): I already have that!
Christina (11:14:26 PM): damn
Christina (11:14:30 PM): okay hmm....mono?
Me (11:14:35 PM): Not a good reward.
Christina (11:14:44 PM): you probably already have that too....
Me (11:15:00 PM): Anyway, back to the story.
Christina (11:15:01 PM): hmm... kisses? a beautiful barbie coloring materpiece?
Me (11:15:22 PM): After they exposed Ornex, Orbex thanked them, and pulled off his mask.
Me (11:15:29 PM): It turns out he was never a nose after all!
Christina (11:15:33 PM): oh good!
Me (11:15:51 PM): He was the frying pan's evil twin brother!
Christina (11:16:03 PM): haha
Me (11:16:07 PM): You could tell because he had a side of evil-looking toast.
Christina (11:16:13 PM): hahaha
Me (11:16:20 PM): That was burnt and charred, like his heart.
Christina (11:16:29 PM): yeah, i hear that
Me (11:16:42 PM): He said "Mwa ha ha ha, thank you for taking this mop back for me, with it, I will be able to rule the world!!!"
Christina (11:16:53 PM): oh no!!!!!!!
Me (11:17:00 PM): Exactly!
Me (11:17:06 PM): Everyone was scared.
Christina (11:17:08 PM): THEN what happened?
Me (11:17:25 PM): CD900 thought he came down with a sleeping sickness, so he held up a sign that said "O no! Mono!"
Christina (11:17:39 PM): hahha
Me (11:17:53 PM): Because the frying pan had the power to give people any sickness in the world.
Me (11:18:11 PM): He pointed the mop at Rufus, who suddenly came down with Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Me (11:18:24 PM): Rufus began to lament the sunny days back on Horsetopia, his home planet.
Christina (11:18:29 PM): hahaha
Christina (11:18:32 PM): that's great
Me (11:18:53 PM): And then, he pointed the mop at Slaadrag, who came down with shingles and developed a very severe rash around his waist.
Me (11:19:08 PM): At this point, Rufus' necklace began to glow.
Me (11:19:19 PM): And a healing bubble encircled the group!
Me (11:19:58 PM): And they were all healed, except CD900, who responded with a sign that said "Poop!"
Christina (11:20:20 PM): haha
Christina (11:20:21 PM): oh no
Christina (11:20:27 PM): i didn't think robots could get sick
Me (11:20:39 PM): But newly rejuvenated, Slaadrag, who like I said, was really fast, took the mop from the frying pan.
Me (11:20:48 PM): And pointed it at the frying pan.
Christina (11:20:49 PM): yay!
Me (11:21:01 PM): Who suddenly came down with a cold, and his eggs stopped cooking, and his toast turned back into bread.
Me (11:21:13 PM): And he melted into a pile of breakfast goop.
Christina (11:21:20 PM): eww breakfast goop
Me (11:21:28 PM): Yeah, that's what I said.
Christina (11:21:36 PM): yeah i'm just ewwwing
Me (11:21:56 PM): So, anyway, there was a "vwoomp" noise behind them, and the real frying pan was there.
Me (11:22:14 PM): He said "you have defeated my evil brother, you truly deserve this" and gave them a hearty breakfast.
Christina (11:22:31 PM): hearty breakfasts are the best!
Me (11:22:34 PM): And then, Rufus and his friends rode off into the sunset of the third galaxy from the left.
Me (11:22:38 PM): The end.
