Quick story I wrote about two characters I've had bouncing around in my head for a while.
Yes, they're WoW characters. No, you don't have to read it if that made you roll your eyes and go "omg waffle is such a nerd."
The only warning the tauren received was the pitter-patter of feet leading up to the explosive “BEEBEEBEEBEEBEEBEE!” as the goblin propelled herself off the ground to latch herself onto the tauren’s back.
“BEE BEE BEE I was thinking about fish, you know fish? And I was thinking that fishing takes a long time and it would be so much easier if you knew exactly where they were right so I thought about it and thought about it and then fiddled around a little and made a HAT and you should try it on because it’s awesome and it needs testing.”
“Whoa whoa WHOA rocketmouth. Something about a fish hat?”
The goblin let out an exasperated sigh at her large friend and repeated herself more slowly. “Not a fish hat, plainsbrains, a hat that will detect fish. Lets you know exactly where they are, so you don’t have to waste time in a pond that don’t have no fish to begin with!”
The large tauren narrowed her eyes slightly as she looked at the goblin who had now rearranged herself to be perched on the tauren’s shoulder, sitting there like she owned the place. “And you want me to test it.”
“Well yeah, Bee. Duh. It’s for science.”
“Nuh-uh. No way, Gidget, we’ve talked about this. What did I tell you about experimentation on living beings?”
Letting out another sigh and rolling her large eyes all they way around, the goblin, named Gidget, shifted slightly in her seat, using her friend’s horn as an anchor as she answered mechanically. “No experimentation on living breathing creatures, and definitely not on Beewana. And if there is experimentation on living breathing creatures, don’t tell Beewana about it or let her find out.”
“That’s right. Now, what was it you wanted to ask me?” Bee smirked at the goblin, whose look of angry disappointment was kind of cute.
“Nuffin’.”
“Better.”
“Only, I’ve been working on it all day and it would really be a shame if all that work went to waste and I promise it’ll actually work.”
“Uh-huh.”
“And it won’t explode.”
“Really.”
“Well. Probably won’t explode.”
“Probably?”
“It’s unlikely.”
“How unlikely.”
“There’s… a twenty percent chance that your eyebrows won’t be singed off?”
“Right.”
“Oh come on, Bee, don’t be such a plainsbrains. It’s for SCIENCE.”
“Gidge, I don’t care about science.”
The goblin let out a gasp as her large ears drooped slightly. The tauren was silent for a moment, and then she shook her head. “Oh, Gidge. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean that.”
Sniffing, Gidget didn’t respond.
“Gidge?”
The goblin shook her head and looked away.
“C’mon Gidge. I’m sorry.”
Still, there was no answer.
Bee sighed and rolled her eyes. “Okay, okay. Science is what makes the world go ‘round. Better?”
Another sniff. “Better.”
“Don’t be mad, Gidge. Just ‘cause I don’t think much of it doesn’t mean it’s not important.”
“That mean you’ll try it on?”
Bee frowned. “No.”
“Oh come on, Bee. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE?”
“NO, Gidge. I mean it.”
“Ugh. Fine.” Gidget slipped down off of the tauren’s shoulder and padded around to face her. Looking up the vast distance between them, Gidget smirked. “I’ll find some poor hapless plainsbrains and make ‘em try it.”
Bee stared back down at Gidget. “No, Gidget.”
Gidget grinned, then peered at her nails nonchalantly. “Well if you won’t try it…”
There was a long moment of silence as the two stared each other down.
“…fine. I’ll do it.”
“AWESOME!” Skittering away for a moment, Gidget soon returned with a large metal helmet with distinctly mechanical parts sticking out of it in various places. She held it up. “It should fit. I took the liberty of borrowin’ one of your hats.”
“…Gidget.”
“I put it back. Just put it on, go over to the pond, and press the button right on the forehead.”
Five minutes later, Gidget was giggling madly whilst hanging by her ankle from her friend’s grip. The shiny helmet was a charred hunk of metal on her head, and the tauren was pissed.
“Heehehehehehhehehehehhehe holy shit that was so cool. Best explosion I’ve seen all week!”
“Gidget. I hate you.”
“Nooooooo you don’t, you love me forever and ever and ever,” Gidget giggled back.
“Why do I put up with you.”
The goblin twisted in Bee’s grip, knocking the helmet off of her head, pulling something out of her own pocket, and snapping it over the tauren’s eyes.
“Because I make you GOGGLES.”
