RIP by SnookieBunnie Joe and Dixie slowly walked over to the pair in the corner. Lifting his eyes off of the floor, Joe informed the two. "I'm sorry, guys, but he didn't make it. There was just too much damage already, there was nothing we could do." Roy swallowed hard and shook his head. It just didn't seem right. He glanced over at his partner and couldn't believe his eyes. "What the hell are you smiling at, Johnny?" "OH, MAN!!! Roy, do you know what this means? I have been waiting for this day to come for so long!! Man, I feel so free!!" Johnny practically shouted as he twirled around in a tight circle. "Johnny, you have done some pretty weird things since I have know you, but this is it!! I don't know what is wrong with you! Johnny, donšt you get it...... Chet is dead!" Johnny looked at Roy with hurt in his eyes. He knew Chet was dead, but there was more to it than just that. "Roy, don't you see..... if Chet is dead, that means The Phantom is dead, too! I'm not a pigeon anymore!" "Oh, come on, Junior, The Phantom was not THAT bad!" "Listen to me, Pally..... you were NOT the fall guy for all of his stunts! I was.... I am glad he is gone!" Dixie looked nervously over to Joe. Joe shrugged his shoulders and pointed to his right. The small group turned and looked on as she approached them, the green object in her hand. Quietly, she lifted the top and scooped the dead fish out of the tank with the green net and walked away. Shortly, a flushing sound could be heard in the distance. The small group slowly swam off in different directions. Johnny was still mumbling under his breath as he dashed down to the sunken ship, looking for something to eat. He had to celebrate The Phantom's demise! Author's Note: Tonight when I came home from work, I discovered that one of my fish, The Phantom, was dead. So I thought I would write a story to honor his memory... LOL!! Johnny, Roy, Dix and Joe are only a few of the surviving friends of the deceased. |
