Things began to settle down in Jake's Metabar. Jake and Chewy pulled out a couple of brooms and began sweeping the remnants of Lord Blast out the hole for the door... after going through his pockets and trying to get as much money from him as they could to pay for the damage done to the door.
Grimm, Ringo, and Priest all took their places back on the stage and began to softly play a nice jazz rendidtion of the Cheers theme.
"Sometimes you wanna go..." Ringo sang, tapping out a tune on his bongos.
"Wow..." Octavia said, looking up at Bhaghhh-rupth with its soft-doe eyes. "...that was incredible..."
"Thanks," Bhaghhh said, scratching his head sheepishly. "Say... Octavia... would you... uh...?"
"Care to dance?" came the voice of a scrawny little eel-like meta, as he held out his hand for Octavia.
Bhaghhh-rupth's eyes narrowed as he pulled his head into his massive shell and leapt into the air.
"BOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!" he yelled, crushing the small eel beneath his enormous girth. White eel guts squirted out from all sides as Bhaghhh got up from his position on the floor.
Octavia giggled as the turtle-man-creature-thing wiped off the front of his leisure suit and took off his fake wig.
"Say, Octavia... wanna dance?" he asked, extending his hand.
Octavia giggled as she slid one of her hands into his, while using another to lightly carress it. "Sure," she said, smiling broadly.
As Bhaghhh-rupth led Octavia out onto the dance floor, he slipped a piece of paper to Grimm, who had just finished the final bars of the Cheers theme. Grimm, passed the slip around to the other members of the band, who all smiled and nodded, as they looked down at a winking Bhaghhh-rupth.
Ringo tapped a couple drumsticks together to mark the beat.
"Bah bah bah bah bahbah bah bah bah
Bah bah bah bah bahbah bah bah baaaaaahh...
I was sleeping and right in the middle of a good dream
Like all at once I wake up from something that keeps knocking at my brain
Before I go insane I hold my pillow to my head
And spring up in my bed screaming out the words I dread
I think I love you
This morning I woke up with this feeling
I didn't know how to deal with and so I just decided to myself
I'd hide it to myself and never talk about it
And did not go and shout it when you walked into the room
I think I love you
I think I love you so what am I so afraid of
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of a love there is no cure for
I think I love you isn't that what life is made of
Though it worries me to say that I never felt this way!"
Octavia sighed happily and lay her head against Bhaghhh's chest, two arms wrapped around his neck and two around his waist. The turtle shot a look over to Blackwulf and Otto, who both were moved to tears at how well their friend had done.
"It is being so beautiful!" Wulf sobbed, hugging Otto as he took a swig of beer. "I am being loving happy endings!"
"Happy endings, nothin'!" Otto bellowed, smashing his beer stein on the table. "That scrawny little eel-guy was my ride home!"
And as the Vanguardian Jazz Trio seranaded them, Octavia and Bhaghhh-rupth slow danced the night away 'til the sun came up the next morning.
All was right with the world...
