Sparkle's Puppet Show

Ea stupid little story sprouted from a stupid little idea)

Twinkle and her friends sat bored in the Alpha Tower around a table in their room. All was silent as the group of young animals simply sat and stared at the floor.

Sparkle was the first to break the silence.

"I'm borrrred!" She whined, stomping a paw on the table.

"Whatcha suggest we do, then?" Mimi asked, running her hand along the intricate carvings on the table she and Twinkle built, her expression never changing.

Sparkle sighed and flopped over. "I. Don't. Know."

Lizzy looked up from her book. "We could all do math problems together." She suggested and got out some paper.

Mimi shrieked. "NOT THE MATH PROBLEMS OF DEATH AND DOOM!!!"

Lizzy sighed and continued to read her novel, putting the paper away.

Twinkle, however, wasn't paying attention to any of this. She was more focused on the fabric she held in her paw, cutting it with scissors precisely to her liking.

"HI TWINKLE!" Peck exclaimed as she entered the room, jumping in front of the pup and distracting her, with the biggest grin imaginable on her face. Twinkle cut her paw on the scissors instead of the blue felt she was holding and growled.

"Pecccck!" She groaned and reached into her bag for some bandages.

"Sorry." The pink and purple rabbit said sheepishly, looking down at the floor and pacing a foot. She then became enticed in the little craft Twinkle held in her newly-bandaged paw. "Whatcha doooin'?" Peck questioned, tilting her head to the side.

"I'm making a puppet." The wolf flatly stated as she finished cutting the fabric and started to sew. Peck rolled her eyes at Twinkle's grumpy reply. Greely's personality was beginning to rub off on the canine.

Sparkle's ears perked up at the word "puppet" and she bounced over to where Twinkle sat. The older pup glued two googly eyes and a strip of pink fabric to the puppet's face and passed it to her adopted sister. "Here."

The younger pup bounced up and down. "Thank you! He's so adorable! I'll name him Pickles! Pickles the puppet! Squeee!" She cheered, and put the puppet on her paw before thinking up an idea. Sparkle gasped. "I JUST HAD THE MOST FANTASTICALRIFFIC IDEA IN THE HISTORY OF EVER!" The small canine yelled, jumping onto the table.

Lizzy looked up from her book and turned her attention to Sparkle, adjusting her glasses and placing a bookmark in between the slightly worn pages of her novel before closing it.

"LET'S DO A PUPPET SHOW!" The child squealed, her tail wagging wildly as she held the puppet Twinkle made for her in the air in triumph.

"But we only have one puppet!" Hudson suddenly piped up and Peck shook her head.

"We can all make more!" She exclaimed, which only caused Sparkle to scream in excitement louder. The young Jammer proceeded to do laps around the room while Olive opened a cabinet and pulled out a large box labeled "B.B.O.A.S."

Sparkle skidded to a stop and tilted her head in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?" She asked as she eyed the box.

"It stands for 'Big Box Of Art Supplies'." Said Twinkle as she and Peck lifted it up onto the table and lifted off the painted lid. Olive reached in with a paw and pulled out her favorite crayons, each of them a shade of green or blue. The paper was carefully torn back from the edges and most of the crayons were half used up. If you looked inside the BBOAS, you would see that the inside had been carefully colored by the cheetah.

At that moment, Sophia the horse apprentice trotted in. "Hey, kids, Liza and I are making cookies if you want some-" She stopped to look at the large box on the table. "Well, look at that!" She smiled. "Seems like you guys are going to be busy. What are you making?"

At that moment, Sparkle threw glitter up into the air for no apparent reason. "We're making PUPPETS!"

"Sparkle, get the dustpan," Another voice hissed. "I'm not going to be the one to clean up all that glitter." With that, another young animal materialized in the middle of the room.

"Jenna, ever hear of walking?" Twinkle asked the phantom-animal. The purple fox scoffed.

"Teleporting is way easier. And cooler." Jenna said, leaning against the walk and slipping on a pair of shiny sunglasses. Twinkle rolled her eyes and instead turned her attention to Sparkle, who was currently sweeping up the silver and gold glitter that had landed on the floor.

"Well, have fun! I can't WAIT to see what you all make!" Sophia gleefully exclaimed and cantered out of the room.

Hudson sighed with a smile from the back of the room as he watched the mare leave.

"Oooooooh, Hudson is in LOVE!" Peck teased. Hudson glared and the rabbit chuckled. "Oh come on, I'm joking."

Twinkle stood up and interrupted. "I thought we were making puppets!"

"Yeah! Let's make puppets!" Sparkle chimed in, and all the animals sat down at the table to work. Except for Jenna, who was currently enjoying a blackberry Popsicle.
