EP.15: YELLOW AND THE SONG



Our little Yellow pal wasn't really busy at the moment. Christmas time was a bitch and he felt like resting. His bros and sis wondered if he was ok, it wasn't like him to be this calm. So, since once in a while the world is actually allowed to be upside down, they decided to do something about it. Trowing a party? Have a bathroom restyling? None of the option felt like it was the right one. After a very long (let me say loooooong) time, our fellow Orange just said "what about a serenade?" They all looked at him in disbelieve. So simple and so nice. They decided to sing a song to their rubber friend but there was a tiny problem still. Which one? They started arguing again and you could say it wasn't going to end, not any time soon anyway. After a while Violet, she was the smart one, stepped in the middle of the wispering crowd (they were bichering in a very low voice for they didn't want Yellow to hear them) and simply added "I think -Yellow- by Coldplay is the right song". She could have said it earlier but she was having to much fun watching them being so silly. 
Centurion sang the song a few time but Sphynx couldn't learn it for the life of his so, when they all were tried of his brays they just asked him to fake it and smile. The ancient duck pouted (if you think it was easy you should try it with a beak) and excused himself. He was angry but, really, he too understood he couldn't sing at all. 
It was late in the afternoon when our ducks parated on the bathtube and started to sing. Yellow little rubber heart melted at the view. He loved them all but, God knows he tried, seeing his beloved relative and friends like that.....he couldn't help it. 
He switched on the hairdrier and send them into the tube. After a moment of disbelieve they looked up at him. "Son of a plastic bottle...." muttered Orange spiting soap and making boubles. Shakespeare duck scoffed and stopped him, only then he looked up to the tryumphant Yellow. "if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?" the sibylline quote left his beak. Yellow thought in due time revenge would have come but, right now they were ALL in the tube. All? Sphynx patted his shoulder. "Remember me dude?" Yellow close his eyes and brace di himself for impact. Sphynx pushed him and jumped. They crushed in the water, there is no other world to explain it. Sphynx smiled and started to sing (gosh he was tone-deaf). All the other ducks looked at him for a moment than joined him. Yellow shrugged and started to dance at the rhythm of the music. 

Bottom line: don't forget how to swimm if you want to sing.
