"i told you i was sorry." said pixcy jay
"i'm not mad about that, i'm mad that you can never take it back." said snap dragon
"i can't go back. i can't do it right" said pixcy
"that's right." said snap dragon
"but i'm here now?" said pixcy jay
"no." snap dragon looked around at the emptyness that betrayed her location. swirling colors that could not be touched led her in different directions, but she could never gain ground. for some reason pixcy jay's voice was coming to her from out of the mist. at first she had started towards the sound of her husband's voice; but then it started around her from different directions and now she didn't know where to go; only kept up the conversation as the voice offered a small amount of support.
"no end." she said
"to my mistakes?" asked pixcy jay
snap dragon didn't respond right away "why do you always think it's over."
pixcy jay came out of the mist, his turquoise wings tucked behind him shyly as he looked at the ground "why couldn't i have been the one who couldn't take no for an answer?"
it was just another ploy of the mist, the colors creating images that weren't real and to pursue them would be folly. none the less snap dragon was a fool for it and took a step forward.
She stepped out of the mist and found a small child crying by a stream. pixcy jay was gone from her mind and the mist was no more. "enjoy your travels." said mist the small girl that traveled with the mist and led this sort of fast travel. snap dragon didn't care about the crying child but sat down and started talking to them.
"i was a pop star"
"why are you telling me this story" asked the child
"you only do things if you want things. but my husband. he doesn't seem to want anything and he still does things. i don't understand his crap"
"is he a super hero"
snap dragon slapped the child.
"i earned the respect to act like one. now lets go. down the river is a fish shop where we can buy bait. i already have the line so if you need to be tied up and dragged there i would understand."
"no, i'll walk." said the child
"story of my life"
They found the fish store fishy. "somethings happened here." said snap dragon
"and it smells like fish." confirmed the child who was now confined to twine as they had not kept up.
"theres no fish." said snap dragon "theres always fish."
"is there a store clerk that stands behind that counter?" asked the child
"no. thats where you cut the fishes heads off."
a store clerk, that was in-fact a giant fish, came out from out of the door that was behind the counter.
"what do you blubber heads want." bubbled the giant fish
"the fish have grown out of control run for your life!" said snap dragon
"what kind of music do you sing?" asked the child
"opera."
"pop opera?" they asked
"it's a style."
"you wouldn't happen to be looking for fish." bubbled the fish now branishing a descaling knife.
"i need that." said snap dragon
"what?" asked the child
"the knife that that fish man has, i need his knife."
"what?" bubbled the fish man
"are you going to use it on me." asked the child.
pixcy jay dropped down from the sky and entered the fish store. "you are really bad at this." he said and whipped out a knife and jabbed it into the neck of the fish man.
"i've been looking for you." said snap dragon.
"eh-he" said pixcy jay who took the knife from the fish man and handed it to her
"you are going to use it on me" said the child as pixcy jay left and flew off again.
snap dragon sighed and looked at the dead fish man.
in the next scene snap dragon is scrapping the scales off the dead fish man onto the child to use them as bait. the child is still tied up. and is now being thrown into the water covered in fish scales
"i'm only doing this because this is what my husband would do." she told the camera
pixcy jay landed next to her and she let the child bob in the water as she went to hug her husband. "i got here first. this one's mine?"
