There once was a group of Mums that lived below ground. They
were strange creatures with long bushy hair over their bodies and theydidn't
wear clothes. Mums were also incompetent and illiterate creatures that only
understood one concept; the production of mining for gold. If the slaves
couldn’t find gold they would be fired; that is they would be thrown into the
pit.
The story begins with five Mums that controlled a gold
mine deep below the ground. There was Big Boss Mum, Pregnant Mum, Mumble Mum,
Blind Mum and of course Sarcastic Mum. Mumble Mum was in charge of recruiting
new miners and would hide behind trees, above ground, and kidnap the
unfortunate creatures and were made into slaves.
“I hate this place,” complained Starlit, the blonde
haired female dwarf.
“I know, isn’t this place stupid?” asked Charm, the white
haired dwarf.
“I wish I knew the best way to escape from this place, I
hate hammering rocks and looking for gold twelve hours a day,” replied Starlit
as she became quiet when Pregnant Mum snapped her fingers and walked over to
her.
“You work,” ordered Pregnant Mum. “Find gold now, that’s
our mission and that’s your purpose, worthless dwarf.”
“I can’t find any more gold,” said Starlit, but she only
made Pregnant Mum angry.
“Find gold!” exclaimed Pregnant Mum.
Starlit cracked open a rock to reveal and empty cavity.
She showed it to Pregnant Mum to prove that she wasn’t lying.
“Why there no gold?” asked Pregnant Mum.
“I don’t know,” replied Starlit scared.
Then Pregnant Mum pulled out her long wooden spoon and
hit the dwarf in the face, “don’t be smart to me. You not smart!”
Pregnant Mum walked away and Starlit covered her face
with her hand, “that ugly stupid creature hit me in the face with her wooden
spoon.”
“I guess that means you better start churning some gold,”
said Charm.
“This place doesn’t make any sense!” exclaimed Starlit.
“I’m getting out of here, I don’t care anymore. You have to be stupid to work
here!”
“You tried to escape and they wrote you up for trying. If
you get caught anymore you’ll get fired,” warned Charm.
“I don’t care I can’t take the abuse from this dump, dog
eat dog underworld!” exclaimed Starlit as she suddenly shut up to see
Scotty-Doo the green skinned troll with purple hair and glasses.
“Hi Starlit, how’s your day?” he asked.
“Fine Scotty-Doo, how is yours?”
“It’s what I do,” smiled Scotty-Doo. “I couldn’t help,
but overhear you wanting to escape.”
“You heard wrong,” said Starlit trying to lie so he
wouldn’t tell Big Boss Mum.
“Starlit, you know you can tell me anything, I care about
you and I want you to know that when the time comes to escape. I’ll take you
with me, but you have to promise me something,” said Scotty-Doo with a little
glint in his lavender colored eyes.
“What’s that?” asked Starlit curiously.
“You have to marry me,” said the troll bluntly.
“Uh, uh my. . . uh wow. . .” gasped Starlit with a deep
breath before letting out a sigh and turned to Charm who was laughing.
“Did I hear him right?” asked the dwarf as Charm
continued to laugh and looked at Starlit as she snapped her lips together. “Uh,
um, no, Scotty-Doo I would rather gag myself with a spoon. I don’t marry stupid
trolls.”
“What?” cried Scotty-Doo. “I thought we were friends,
best friends, I guess I was wrong.”
“I would rather get punched in the beak and have my
genitals removed than to reproduce with him,” whispered Starlit to Charm who
laughed even harder.
“I thought you loved me!” cried Scotty-Do. “You gave me
that look of affection and said I was special!”
“I lied, now get out of here before I throw a rock in
your face, stupid troll!” yelled Starlit as she picked up a small rock that was
on her work bench.
Sandy and Charm were laughing at Starlit as she started
to growl at Scotty-Doo. Scotty Doo began to leave as she put the rock back down
and he looked heartbroken because he wanted to have a happy life with her in
that special place. Then he turned around after walking away five feet with an
idea.
“Starlit what if I-”
Then there was a loud shriek from Starlit’s mouth and he
stopped in his tracks as she picked the rock back up. She stared at Scotty-Do
like she was possessed by an evil spirit and chucked it as hard as she could at
the troll, hitting him in the face.
“Ok, ok I’m leaving I just wanted to make sure, its what
I do,” said Scotty-Doo as he touched his sore nose and left.
“Pretty stupid!” declared Starlit.
“This whole place is stupid,” added Charm. “You have to
be stupid to work here.”
“No you have to be stupider. This place only kidnaps
retards and fires the smart people,” said Starlit.
“I know, ain’t it stupid?” asked Charm.
“You’re stupid,” laughed Starlit as she pushed the white
haired dwarf.
“You’re stupider,” laughed Charm as she pushed Starlit
back and the two were about to get into a playful fight for dominance.
“Both of you shut up and get back to work!” yelled Sandy
as she chiseled a rock with her hammer.
“We were just having some fun,” sulked Starlit.
