The Burgomaster's Midnight Adventure
The Never Ending Quest - Episode 25811
|
Burgomaster Bob quietly crept through a dimly lit corridor, toward his
mistress, the dessert pantry, that seemed to be calling his name
seductively in the
midnight hour.
He was well aware of the imminent danger he was in - but it was worth the
risk for one of those Bavarian creme puff pies or frosted apple tart
delights. Through the shadows he continued lurking, until he finally came
to his lustful goal of dainty treats. With a trembling hand, he slowly
opened the creaky door to the dessert pantry. As the pies and puddings
were displayed in all of their glory, his heart skipped a beat from the
exhileration of beholding such a treasure trove of sweets...or maybe it
was from his high cholesterol. Regardless, he was happy man to say the
least. "Bob," said a voice from behind him suddenly. The Burgomaster nearly wet his pajamas as he jerked around in surprise, his arms shielding his face defensively. "I-I must have been sleep walking!" he wept, falling to his knees. "I-I didn't t-touch anything! Oh, please don't hurt me!" "It's just me," Slyfer laughed, helping the Burgomaster to his feet. "Indulging in a midnight snack, were we?""Oh, it's just you," Bob sighed. "I thought you were my persnickety witch of a wife! I can't help myself, Slyfer! Look at my belly! I am constantly engorging myself, and I just can't stop! I've tried the weight- loss programs, the power-walks and the miracle diets... Hey, wait a minute - what the hell are you doing in my house!?" "Do you remember why you pay me the big bucks?"Bob scratched his head. "No." "Well I'm going to remind you." The man produced a small, glowing orb from under his flowing garments. "The Destined One is upon us," he smirked. "He was closer than we thought. Even as we speak he is nearing the city, my orb has only just shown me. Yet somehow I sense he is in great danger, we must go to his aid at this very moment.""Wonders never cease," Bob shook his head. "Let's get to it."
