When Pigs Fly
“Well boys, we did it! We finally did it!”
“You mean, we remembered HOW to do it…”
“Whatever! We-“
“After we watched that movie and got the idea.”
“Will you two shut up!:
“Sorry bro.”
“Drop dead Sun God.”
“Wade!”
…not. Sorry…”
“7…6…”
“Why are you counting? Why is he counting W-“
“…5…4…”
“He’s trying to calm down.”
“What for?:
“3…2…”
“Just shut up.”
“The point is, we did it! Yes, we might’ve gotten the idea “- I mean, might’ve remembered how to - from watching Peter Pan -“
“…who would have thought…happy thoughts…?”
“I know right? I can’t believe you can actually do it Wade! I’m so proud!”
“Go suck dirt and die Grunt…”
“SHUT UP! ShutUpShutUpShutUp!”
“Sorry.”
“Not sorry.”
“…I hate you both…”
“…your not the only one…”
“Shut up Wade. Just keep thinking happy thoughts and shut up. Can you handle that?”
…Hey…guys?…”
“What about the running motions we’re doing? Do you want me to keep doing that too? Oh great leader?”
“…guys?…”
“Why don’t you-“
“How about-“
“Apollo! Waddles!”
“WHAT?!”
“What do you think’s wrong with the humans?”
“…what do you mean?…”
“…same. Question…”
“The humans…they seem to be freaking out…they keep pointing up at us and screaming as we fly by…”
“…uhh…”
“No idea.”
“You’re a lot of help,aren’t you Waddles?”
“Don’t call me that!”
And they were off again.
Shaking his head, Grunt the micro pig - he was definitely changing his name when he and his two older brothers.Got to wherever it was that they were going - tuned out of his brother’s bickering and firmly decided that if Apollo and Wade weren’t worried about why the humans were freaking outt, than neither would he. They were strange creatures anyway.A bit evil too, if the horror stories Wade like to tell him held any truth.He really doubted it though. Hamburgers? Bacon? Nightmare fuel really. And while he hadn’t met many humans before, his former adoptive mother was pretty nice herself and only ate vegetables; so they couldn’t all be bad? Right?
Right!
Deciding, to once again not worry about it, Grunt the micro pig continued his trek across the sky, all the while humming under his breath that one catchy tune from that cartoon movie about fish. Never truly realizing just how much chaos he and his Brothers had created by bringing to life The consequences of that one old saying,” when pigs fly.”
After all, what no human could possibly remember is, that once upon a time, invoking those exact words was an unbreakable oath. An oath that still in effect. And there was now a heck of a lot of oaths that needed to be fulfilled.
At least Hell hadn’t frozen over…
… Yet…
“… just keep swimming, swimming, swimming…”
