Chapter 29: Music
"We found the instruments," Roger handed them out to everyone. Finn was given the keyboard, Blue the tambourine, Emily the violin; and Roger had the guitar. Apparently, Emily was an excellent musician and Blue in agreement as soon as she started playing.
"What instrument's for me? I can play too, you see?" Jeremy asked anxiously. He was desperate to join in.
"We figured you could just use that magic typewriter of yours," Finn replied, "since you can change it to be whatever you want." In response, the Boob grinned and pulled it out of nowhere and waved it in the air. It turned into a gleaming metallic purple clarinet, which he lifted to his mouth and played a floaty tune on. Roger nodded, satisfied; and started handing out clothes to put on.
"Pardon me for asking," Started Emily, reluctantly putting on a red silk hat, "but why do we need silly clothes?" Blue, on the other hand, was happily wearing whatever she was given, a bright pink jacket and a matching cap. The only thing she refused to put on was a fake mustache.
"It looks nice." Finn grinned. They looked so daft in their silly outfits, but fun was one of the things Blue Meanies could stand the least. "Now what song do we play for our lovely audience?"
"It outta be something really cheerful, I think." Said Emily. "Like Yellow Submarine." Finn considered this. "It would be pretty appropriate, I think." He replied. "Anybody disagree?"
Everybody seemed happy with this, so the odd-looking group had a small rehearsal. As soon as they had finished the run-through, Blue Meanies started returning to the hill, grumbling and groaning about how the two children and the Boob had escaped their grasp.
Jeremy observed them through a gap in a thorn bush. "When we escaped, we made them mad." He said to Emily and Blue, "Now I think they're rather sad."
"Well, we can't exactly have let them catch us, could we? That wasn't the point. If they're too slow to catch us, so be it." Replied Emily, swinging her violin bow around like a sword. "Why don't we wait to see if any of them lead us to Lord Indigo? I mean, we don't exactly know where he is yet. It would be excellent if one of them lead us straight to him."
"Good idea." Said Finn. "Let's keep an eye on them. If any of them mention Lord Indigo, we follow them. Deal?"
"Deal." Came the simultaneous reply.
