The Case for the Bass!


You and Jack joined AJ to a new pawn shop that had opened up. 

(Y/N): So, your Granny ended up accidentally selling your bass? 

AJ: Eeyup. Pretty much. 

Jack: I'd say she lost her marbles, but I don't want a kick in the teeth, an- 

??? and ???2: WELCOME! 

(Y/N), Jack, and AJ: AGH! 

Two guys in vaudeville-like suits appeared. 

Flim Flam Brothers (Two salesmen who have shady methods for running their business!) 

Flim: Welcome to the grand opening of the Flim Flam Brothers' Everything Under the Sun Emporium!

Flam: If you want it...

Flim and Flam: ...we've got it!

Flim: Need a pogo stick?

Flam: A bowling ball?

Flim: A stuffed clown?

Flam: Whatever this is?

Flam pulled out AJ's bass! 

(Y/N): HEY! 

AJ: That's my bass! 

Flim: I can give you this bass for a non-negotiable price of one thousand dollars.

Jack: HEY! Granny Smith got 2 dollars from you two! 

Flim: Yes, well, we have to cover our overhead and transportation costs.

AJ: Listen, Granny never should've sold my bass. I'll give ya the two dollars back and we'll call it even.

(Y/N) and Jack: Yeah, that sounds reasonable. 

Flim and Flam: Likely story!

AJ: But it is mine! 

Flim: And can you prove that this is, in fact, your bass?

(Y/N): I can. AJ has her initials right there. 

You pointed to the AJ on the bass. 

Flam: That could mean anything. It could stand for...

Flim: "Aardvark Junior"...

Flam: "Anvil Jokers"...

Flim: Or "Animal Jane".

Flam: Why, I'll bet you don't even play the bass, Applejack, if that is your real name? 

Jack: OKAY! YOU KNOW WHAT?! I'M GOING TO POUND THEM INTO- 

But you stopped Jack before he could think about punching them. 

(Y/N): Dude, no. I have a plan. Hey, AJ, why don't you show them how you play the bass? 

AJ: Okay then! Here goes! 

AJ grabbed her bass and began to play it to the point that she transformed into her half pony form, and well- 

Flim and Flam were flabbergasted! 

Flim: Perhaps this is her bass. But there are still the transportation costs and overhead.

Flam: Don't forget the stocking fees.

Flim: Wouldn't dream of it, brother!

AJ just sighed. 

Flam: Then again, I suppose we could make some sort of trade?

(Y/N): What kind of trade? 

Soon... 

You, Jack, and AJ were spinning signs to the shop. 

(Y/N), Jack, and AJ: (annoyed) Come on down to the grand opening of the Flim Flam Brothers' Everything Under the Sun Emporium.

Jack: This is the worst.
