Yeah okay, no, Flamsteed. "Stick to your day job, sir, and leave the singing to the professionals!" Davie called out cheekily, lining up to ACTUALLY hit him with his best shot. Only problem was, he wasn't really concentrating, he was thinking about Flamsteed's awful singing of that song that was catchy but which he didn't really know, and so he missed.... AGAIN. The ball went soaring straight for the protective bars in front of the dunk tank, hitting them right above where Airey's face sat and bouncing off with a loud
PING!
"Oooooooopsies," Davie called out cheerfully, all smiles as he lined up again. "I've got it THIS TIME, professor, I promise. Just think of this here base-ball as the asteroid which brought water to Earth!" He let out a positive cackle, aimed the ball, and laughed with glee as it connected with the paddle.
SINK SANK SUNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNK. The admiral's ship was SUNK!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT was with students and not appreciating his classically trained vocal chords? Member of the Frog Choir and then captain of the men's choir at NASA...he had a CHARMING singing voice. Kids these days with their WRock music and not appreciating traditional sounds.
Despite the gate, Airey flinched at the ball's trajectory. Oopsies? OOPSIES HIS FOOT! Although there were a few kudo points given to the young man for the stellar astronomy reference. Absolutely stel------
*SPLUUUUUUUUUSH*
Now, here was the thing with this "macho lion" costume the professor wore. It was stuffed with an awful lot of ...well...some sort of stuffing that did not mesh well with water THAT'S for sure. Top heavy and sagging in places, the astronomer crawled out of the tank and flopped like a tuna on to the ground.
Yeah. You got him, Mr. Truebridge, and you got him GOOD.
Dragging himself and his dripping tail off to the side, he summoned Pebbles to his person and then sat there, legs out straight, while twisting bits of his costume to get some of the water out while his colleague took their turn in the tank.
SWEET SOLSTICE WHAT WAS THAT?!
Eyes instantly looking skyward - HAD THEY COME?! - the Astronomy professor leaped (and stumbled a bit because still top heavy) to his feet with Pebbles tucked safely under his one arm. Nope, they had not come...but an earthquake? He was not aware of any seismic activity in this area...
Not like stranger things hadn't happened at this school before...
"
EVERYONE! MOVE AWAY FROM ANY TREES!" he instructed, on the off chance that the shaking intensified and some came down.
Oh. Right. His wand was out too. Yes.
Ahem.
