Drabble Wednesday: New Year’s Drama

After a holiday break, the drabbles return with a little Frankie and Joni virtual drama.

Doctor Quackenboss’ New Year

Personal Log: Entry 1260
I must record the events of this turning of years for posterity, for even now the sad repercussions echo through these virtual walls. Poor Arabella, sadly thrown over in affections, after a wicked night of debauchery induced by Strawberry Kiwi wine.
Forsooth, can we not once have a soiree that is drama free? That is nothing more than a mere jolly celebration and has no greater consequences than the ill effects of drink upon the morning?
Oswald revealed himself as a cheating cad and broken Arabella’s heart. What she will do about it makes me afraid…

The Lament of Arabella

Dear Diary,
Love is a fickle thing, and admirers even more so, plying you with lies and Shakespeare.
Oh, my Oswald, my sweet Oswald. Why do thou forsake me?
For that furry skank of a Ninja Bear, no less!
I want to shove both of my hooves into her smug face and stomp all over it. And then chomp Oswald right in the butt. Those two-timing dogs!
I hate them! I loathe them!
And to make things worse, that nasty little Ninja Bear ripped my lovely bonnet. I will have my revenge. Mark my words. She and Oswald will pay…

The Confusion of Oswald

“I don’t understand. Who said I was dating Arabella? That’s absurd. I admired her lines in that fetching bonnet, but only as a code developer. And that ridiculous bear kissed me. I’ll admit, I had too much of that delicious wine, but… How did things escalate into a love triangle?”
I tried not to laugh. “Never ask how things escalate around here. They just do.”
“It’s ludicrous. Even Eric’s mad at me. He apparently has a crush on Arabella. Madness!”
“It’ll blow over eventually. Arabella has a short memory chip. Just watch your back. Arabella also likes revenge.”
“Wait, what?”

Happy New Year!
