So me and Em talk.
Much to the annoyance of Zacky but annoying him is fun.
Then it’s time to go, only cause Meli says I should go see a village in the mountains. Humph, typical.
So I’m shown out by a strong looking man called Bena, he’s a Shiekah or whatever.
He’s in blue leather so I’m happy.
Zacky: Hey, go check out that ranch looking building over there. Never know who you might meet…
There’s something in the way he says it that I don’t like but hell, they might lend me a horse. I wander up the path to the entrance and wander in, a singing voice meeting my ears. I peer over the fence and see Brian form earlier with another boy and a girl doing the can-can, all dressed as Cowboys.
“Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.
And...always look on the bright side of life...
Always look on the light side of life…”
I stare, jaw planted firmly on the ground as they start an Irish jig. I bite back a laugh.
Zacky: Oh my God. They’ve gone insane!
I peer over as some men in white coats appear out of the house, grabbing the boy and the girl and strapping them, still singing to a couple of gurney’s leaving Brian to dance alone. I back away slowly, but he spots me and grabs my arm and starts spinning me around.
Zacky: Always look on the bright side of life…de dum de dum de dum de dum
“ZAAAAACKY! SAVE MEEEEEEEEEE!”
I get ignored as I fly past a little orange horse who looks clearly very confused as to the weirdness of her owner and she backed away to safety.
Finally I was let go as Brian calmed down, hitting the ground hard as I prayed the world would stop spinning in time for Jeopardy.
Luckily, it did.
