Mirabella: A.V.E. part 8

As the dawn was present, a figure looked like a very strange little girl with a green head and pigtails. She also wore a polka-dotted skirt and red bow tie known as Mimi called out to the other three strange figures as she pointed up the tree. "Hey, look up there! Look up there!"
The second figure was a blue skinned woman with magenta hair into a bun, red lipstick and orange stylish glasses. She wears a blue faded white blouse with white cuffs and a white brooch, blackish grey pants and white boots. She is Nastasia.
The third figure is a tall man who has brown facial hair, he also wears a black and red sleeveless shirt that looks more like an armor, black and red pants, red shoes, black fingerless gloves and red bracelets with silver sharps around his wrists. His body looks so much like an android. He is O'Chunks.
The last figure is a short joker-looking guy who wears a violet and golden joker hat with three yellow jewels, a violet and golden cloak, black pants, black shoes and gloves and a black and white mask. He is Dimentio.
They looked up and Nastasia holds her glasses as she said "My my, why this is most irregular!"
"Well I can't believe my own eyes!" said Dimentio a he rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
"They're not dead are they?" Mimi asked O'Chunks.
"No Mimi, dead people don't snore…" O'Chunks then paused for a minute now unsure about it. "Or do they?"
Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio huddled up and were talking about what they just saw up that huge tree when someone with a slight English accent cuts in "Uh, what's all the chattering? Come on, you can't start a discussion without Count Bleck."
The four turned to see a tall figure with dark blue skin. He had large white top hat, a blue and white cloak held by a ruby brooch, a white suit, a pair of white gloves, had yellow eyes, one with a monocle, and held a scepter with a blue diamond on it. He is the leader of the four; Count Bleck.
"Well, what's going on asks Count Bleck?" he asked his minions in his third person. "Any news you want to tell Count Bleck?"
"Well, look up there, Count!" said Mimi pointing up the tree.
"And prepare yourself for a shock!" added O'Chunks.
With that, Count Bleck looks up the tree to see what his minions just saw and found out that they saw and Octomaid and a Martian which happens to be Mirabella and Marvin sleeping on a branch of the huge tree!
"Ah-Ha!" he exclaimed as he puts his velvet gloved hand on the left side of his head in disbelief. "Well, bless Count Bleck!"
"Go ahead," Dimentio suggests to Count Bleck. "Wake them up, Count!"
"Yeah," added Mimi. "Find out what they're doing up there!"
"Yeah," puts in Nastasia.
"And ask them what they want!" finished O'Chunks.
"Okay minions, leave this to Count Bleck!" said Count Bleck and with that, he climbs up the tree and stops at the branch where Mirabella and Marvin are on.
He could see that Marvin who was still sleeping so he used his scepter and gave him a single BONK on a helmet just enough to wake him up! Marvin was startled by the sudden bonk on his helmet, he looked up with his vision adjusting to normal and noticed Count Bleck in front of him. He then rubbed his head then muttered "Oh, those pink characters."
Count Bleck was amused then turn to his minions "Ha! Pink Characters!" Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all laughed thinking that was funny.
"What's so funny?" asked Marvin hearing their laughing. "What are you people doing down here anyway?"
"What are we doing down here?" Count Bleck asked even more amused then turn to his minions again. "Well, hear him talk!" Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all laughed again thinking that was funny as well.
"Oh, go back where you belong." Muttered Marvin yet Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all just laughed.
Count Bleck grinned "Now look here, Brush Hat--!"
"Brush Hat?!" Marvin exclaimed hearing that insult then protested at Count Bleck. "Now listen, it's not a brush hat, it's a Martian army helmet! See?!"
"Uh-huh," replied Count Bleck looking conceited. "And I suppose you and no Octomaid are not up in no tree either says Count Bleck!"
Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all laughed as Marvin keep protesting at him. "No! No, I am not in a tree, I'm no--!" he then realized what he just said. "Huh? Tree?"
Marvin looked at Count Bleck, then he looked up and when he looks down; he gasped to find out that they are high up in the tree while the four minions are way below them! He let out a yelp and then clung hard to the branch as he looks down.
As Count Bleck quietly climbs down, Marvin gets his way to Mirabella to wake her up "Mirabella! Mirabella! Wake up! Wake up Mirabella!"
"What's going on, Marvin?" she asked trying to wake up unaware that she's on a branch.
Marvin gulped "Don't look now but I think we're up on a tree!"
"What do you--?" she asks until she looks down, she jumps in shock but then lost her balance "Marvin! Help!"
"Got you, girl!" Marvin calls as he caught her dress while holding on to the branch but the branch couldn't take their sudden weight and it broke!
Count Bleck and his minions watched the two crashes into other branches as the fell, the five then all shut their eyes preparing for the worst until they heard a loud splash! They opened their eyes to see that Mirabella and Marvin had landed into the pond! The five all laughed at them as the two got out of the pond.
"Oh, don't pay any attention to those meanies," Marvin told Mirabella as she wrings the water out of her dress. "Come on Mirabella, let's get back to the circus."
"Farewell, you two!" Count Bleck called from back behind them as he and his minions laughed and laughed.
As Marvin and Mirabella are on their way back to the circus, Marvin had been wondering "I wonder how we ever got up in that tree anyway?" he asked Mirabella as he looks at the huge tree which the branches are now broken.
"Now let's see," Marvin began to think. "Octomaids can't climb trees, can't they?"
"No, I don't think so." answered Mirabella.
"Wouldn't jump up."
"I don't think so either, it's too high."
"Hey you two," called Count Bleck from the far back with his minions. "Maybe you in blue have some kind of magical power that made you flew up?"
Marvin thought again "Maybe you have a power that made us flew up."
Mirabella thought the same thing "Yeah, I think maybe it's--."
Then Marvin realized something "That's it! Mirabella! You flew like a heroine!"
"What do you mean?" asked Mirabella not sure what's coming next.
"Your legs and necklace just look at them, Mirabella! Why, they're perfect to help the special power the necklace! The legs may hold you down but with that magic are going to carry you up, and up, and up!"
"You mean--?"
"I can see it all now," Marvin said filled with hope and then declared "Mirabella! The ninth wonder of the universe! THE WORLD'S ONLY FLYING OCTOMAID HEROINE!" but Count Bleck and his minions all laughed at the idea.
Mimi asked "Did you ever see an Octomaid fly?"
Nastasia replied "Well, I've seen a horsefly."
O'Chunks added "Ha-ha, seen a dragonfly."
Dimentio giggled "I've seen a housefly."
Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all laughed and then Count Bleck spoke "And I've seen all that too!" and then he began to sing.

Count Bleck: I saw a peanut stand,
Heard a rubber band,
I saw a needle that winks its eye.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an Octomaid fly

Nastasia asked "What did you say, Count?"

Count Bleck replied "I said 'When I see an Octomaid fly'."

Count Bleck: I saw a front porch swing,
Heard a diamond ring,
I saw a polka-dot railroad tie.
But I think I will have seen everything
When I see an Octomaid fly

Marvin crossed his arms as he mutters "Okay, this is getting annoying."
Mimi then scats along with the song.

Count Bleck: I saw a clothes horse,
He rear up and buck

Mimi: And they tell me that a man made a vegetable truck

Dimentio: I didn't see that,
I only heard

Nastasia: But just to be sociable
I'll take your word

Dimentio: I heard a fireside chat

Nastasia: I saw a baseball bat

O'Chunks: And I just laughed till I thought I'd die

Count Bleck: But I'd be done seeing about everything
When I see an Octomaid fly

Count Bleck began to do the scats and then Mimi joins him and they do the scats.

Count Bleck: But I'd be done seeing about everything
When I see an Octomaid fly!

Marvin just glares at them.

Count Bleck and minions: WHEN I SEE AN OCTOMAID FLY!!!!!

After their song ended, Count Bleck and his minions all laughed, this made Marvin very angry "Alright you wise guys! THIS IS GONE FAR ENOUGH!" they all continued to laugh.
"Quiet minions," Count Bleck ordered his minions. "This Martian man is going to address you."
"You ought to be ashamed of yourselves!" Marvin said to Count Bleck and his minions. "A bunch of big guys like you; picking on a poor little broken-hearted maiden like her!"
This made the five quiet as Marvin continued "Suppose you were torn away from your true love when you were just innocent people, nobody to share your true feelings with, no warm, soft and gloved hand to softly hold onto. How would you like to be left out alone; in a cold, cruel, heartless world?"
The five all stared as Marvin continues "And why? I ask you, why? Just because she's got those eight legs; they call her a freak, the laughing stock at a circus!"
Now Count Bleck and his minions felt terrible as Marvin continues on "And when her true love named Edwin Harley tried to protect her; they throw him to the clink! And on top of that; they made her a troublesome clown truck! Socially, she's washed-up!"
"That's right Marvin," said Mirabella as she nodded sadly.
"Oh but what's the use of talking to you cold-hearted people," Marvin sighed as Count Bleck and his minions now felt very sad for her. "Go ahead, have your fun, laugh at her, Kick her now that she's down! GO ON! We don't care" Marvin then turned around and wept his own tear.
"Come on, Mirabella." He said to Mirabella as he walked sadly on their way.
"I'm right behind you, Marvin. " She replied sadly as she went with him on their way back to the circus.
"Boy," murmured Nastasia wiping her tears off. "I feel so ashamed."
"Me too." said Dimentio quietly as he just nodded sadly agreeing with her.
Count Bleck felt terrible most of all "What am I going to do if that was me and Timpani?"
"I think you should help her." Said a beautiful voice from behind Count Bleck, he turned around to see a familiar beautiful silver-haired woman wearing a white dress with rainbow colored details, white gloves, silver earrings and a butterfly shaped rainbow colored hairclip on her head.
"Lady Timpani?" Count Bleck asked.
"I have heard everything that little man said and I think you should help that poor girl."
Count Bleck thought for a minute and then, he had an idea so he went after the two. "Hey, you two, wait a minute! Don't go away feeling like that!" he called to Marvin and Mirabella. "We just seen the light, you two are okay."
"Please, you've done enough." Marvin muttered and then continued walking.
"But we'll all fix you to happier," convinced Count Bleck. "Isn't that the truth, minions?"
Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks and Dimentio all agreed as they and Timpani were coming to join them.
"You want to make the Octomaid fly don't you?" asked Count Bleck. "Well, you got to use a lot of psychology."
Then Count Bleck and Marvin formed a huddle with Nastasia, O'Chunks, Dimentio and Timpani alongside leaving Mimi trying to get in. "All you got to do is…"
Mirabella didn't know what plan they're discussing about while Mimi tried many spots to fit in the huddle but to no avail. When Mimi tried another spot again, she didn't see Count Bleck reaching into her pocket and pulled out one of her rubies, Mimi then exclaimed. "Hey!"
"Use the magic ruby," Count Bleck said as he showed Marvin one of Mimi's rubies. "Do you get the point?"
"The magic ruby," Marvin said in awed and then he winked to Count Bleck. "Yeah, I got your point."
Then he turned to Mirabella very excited "Mirabella! Look! Have I got it!"
"What is it?" Mirabella asked as she looked at the ruby.
"The magic ruby," he answered. "Now you can fly!"
A few minutes later, Count Bleck and his minions are preparing Mirabella to fly at the edge of the cliff while Timpani waved her flags like if she's preparing an airplane at the airport.
"Let's go Mirabella," coached Marvin now has on a jet-pack on. "Come on now, up! Down! Up! Down! One! Two! One! Two! One! Two! Faster! Faster! Get in flying speed! We're landing gear! Reach the inner power! Take OFF!"
Mirabella closed her eyes and flapped her arms as if she's ready to fly, suddenly her necklace glowed a beautiful blue light as a cloud of dusk was covering the whole scene excepted the blue glow on her necklace.
Finally the cloud of dust cleared if a bit, Marvin mutters "Aw it's no use Mirabella, I guess it's just another one of their--."
"Marvin!" Mirabella called out all excited. "I did it! I'm flying! I'm flying!"
And sure enough, Mirabella was indeed flying just like a super heroine! Count Bleck, Timpani and his minions are joining Mirabella and Marvin on their magic carpets.
"Why, she flies just like an eagle!" said Mimi as she and Dimentio soars their green and purple magic carpet beside Mirabella as the others chuckles.
"Just like an airplane!" added O'Chunks as he and Nastasia steers their red and periwinkle magic carpet in loop-de-loops as the others chuckles again.
"Well, now I've seen everything says Count Bleck!" finished Count Bleck as Timpani held on to him on their royal blue and silver magic carpet and everyone chuckled once more and resumed their song.

Count Bleck: But I'd be done seeing about everything
When I see an Octomaid fly!

Mirabella then perches on the wires gracefully.

Count Bleck and minions: WHEN I SEE AN OCTOMAID FLY!!!!!

"Mirabella, I know you could do it!" Marvin then turned to Count Bleck. "Wait until we get to the big town!"
"Oh, those city people are in for a surprise!" agreed Count Bleck.
"You'd better believe it." Added Timpani and everyone laughed in a good way.
