Puppet Master Story

It was a quiet night at Bodaga Bay Inn and inside the aging hotel a small group of puppets were finding something to do.

Needless to say the main group of puppets were relaxing in the lobby, each doing their own thing.

Torch, the youngest puppet smiled to himself after lighting a fire in the fireplace.

He was sure nobody would notice he had ‘borrowed’ some books to light the fire.

“Ok who’s the wise guy that moved my book?” Jester asked walking over annoyed, he knew the other puppets liked to wind him up by moving his things sometimes, whether it was his hat, his books or his glasses.

“Not me.” Blade, the puppet leader replied.

“Wasn’t me. Not unless you’ve pulled a prank on me.” Six Shooter replied shooting his guns at the dartboard on the other side of the room.

Jester sighed annoyed as the other puppets; Tunneler, Pinhead and Leech Woman confirm what Six said.

“Maybe it was the Axis.” Torch said with a shrug trying to throw Jester off the trail.

“Wouldn’t surprise me.” Jester muttered, the Axis loved to wind him up.

“You called?”

The puppets turned around seeing the four Axis standing in the doorway.

It had taken a while but both the Axis and the Toulon puppets had slowly started to get along.

“Evening Bomb.” Six greeted putting his guns away seeing the Axis leader.

“Evening Sixy.” Bombshell smiled.

Weremacht and Kamikaze rolled their eyes, they still weren’t all that happy about their leader dating Six Shooter but no matter what they did to try to break them up nothing worked.

"What book is missing?" Blitzkrieg asked.

Jester told him and Blitzkrieg quickly found the book burning in the fireplace.

“Is that it?”

Jester gave Torch a death glair.

“You son of a. You knew I was reading that book!” He shouted.

Torch shrugged leaning by the fire.

Blade sighed.

“One night of peace is all I ask.”

Leech Woman walked over and hugged Blade.

“They’re brothers, and polar opposites Blade.” She reminded him.

“Good entertainment though.” Weremacht muttered watching the two start to argue like school kids.

Six and Bombshell however just shook their heads at the two and left the room for some ‘alone time’

“They’d better not be doing what I think they’re doing.” Kamikaze said.

There was a pause from the others.

“Should someone tell him we don’t have *clears throat* ‘those’ parts?” Pinhead asked, they all knew how suspicious Kamikaze could be.

“He wouldn’t listen even if we did. And we have told him that alot over the years.” Tunneler replied.

By now Jester had left the room in a huff to cool down and it was quiet once more.

One by one each puppet returned to their area of rest.

Until Torch got a bucket of ice cold water dumped on him by Jester in revenge for burning his book. Which got a laugh from everyone but Torch.

But that’s another story.
