A Strange Occurrence

[searingedrock]

Igor paced up and down, jiggling his toe. His very good friend, Mary Sue Cheetah, had arranged to meet him here under the table. "I have something resplendent to tell you," she had said.

Mary Sue Cheetah was late, which was very unlike her. Any moment now, Igor expected to see her bounce up, her illusory hair streaming behind her and her hungry eyes aglow.

Igor heard footsteps, but they seemed rather cold for a delicate and semi-conscious girl like Mary Sue Cheetah, whose tread was truculent. He turned around and found Rhe-rhe staring at him.

"What are you doing here?" Rhe-rhe said laughingly. "I thought you said you didn't want to see me again."

Igor had said that, but now he was beginning to wish he hadn't acted so enigmatically. "Mary Sue Cheetah asked to meet me here." As he gazed at Rhe-rhe, his ear began to throb quickly.

"Oh," Rhe-rhe said, speedily. "I'll just go then."

"Wait," Igor said and caught Rhe-rhe by her nipple. "I was wrong. I still love you. Can you ever forgive me?"

"Yes," Rhe-rhe said, smiling. They wrapped their arms around each other and kissed, like the river that flows with love overflowing.

From behind a cranium, Mary Sue Cheetah watched with an innocuous light in her hackneyed eyes. She took a list out of her pocket, and checked off "Igor/Rhe-rhe". Then, she skipped off to help an embittered man find love again, just as soon as she'd saved the orangutan from extinction.
