Yellow had a new project,
he meant to square of the circle, no
actually he wanted to circle of the square, no in reality he desired to circle
the triangle. Ok, he just wanted for Chanel to make peace with Théo and have a
nice thanksgiving dinner together with everyone he cared for and everyone the
ones he cares for cared for.
Ok, the lines are bit messy
but point is: Yellow is the quintessence of the family duck at heart and he thought
thanksgiving could be the perfect occasion to make peace.
The English queen was going
to throw a classy party with master-chef savories of flavored soap. She was driving
both Scott, the Scottish duck, and Shakespeare, the poet duck, mad. She wanted
everything to be perfect, just the way she decided perfect was.
They were unrolling the
printed toilet paper since an awful amount of time and she was never satisfied.
Many ducks had ducked out but the two left had to uphold to their reputation. To be
honest, they didn’t want to lose to the other duck, anyhow they were mentally and physically
exhausted.
They were just praying her
rubber vocal cords would break and she’d be silent for a while.
Centurion was in charge of
the streaming: Théo on the first channel, the London Tower gift shop on channel
two (his duck Majesty Henry the 8th had threatened to make duck
heads fly if he hadn’t been invited – his newly duck bride was scared as hell) and the
discount that Yellow had once called home on the channel three. In less than an hour the transmission
was set, the toilet paper was not.
At one point Scott lost it and
threw away the toilet paper.
Can you guess who was staying on a piece of that
paper and flew away with it? It all happened in a matter
of seconds. All they could see afterwards was Yellow floating in the bathtub
(filled with water) surrounded by toilet paper. Scott called for him but he
pouted (it isn’t that easy of a task with a beak) and turned his head away.
Statue of liberty duck, in order to help him, showed him a rope to clink on to
reach the edge of the bathtub. “Look, you can use this one”
she said pulling the drain plug’s strap. Centurion didn't even had the time to say “Don’t
pull it…”. It was too late. Yellow and the paper toilet started to swirl in
circles while the water was disappearing into the pipes. Yellow was mad and stuck in
soaked toilet paper but he could hear Chanel
and Théo’s (and half of the duck population of the bathroom and the locations in
streaming) hearty laughter.
And just like that, Chanel and Théo had
finally made peace. "Ater all every cloud has a silver lining" Yellow quite uncharacteristically
thought. Maybe his cloud did not.
Bottom line, if life gives
you lemons, don’t try and make juice out of them. If you are not made of rubber,
you may need a life vest to navigate in it. Nice thing is, our friend is made
of rubber and, in the end, he achieved his goal.
Yellow wishes you all a happy thanksgiving.
