Work Text:
Saffy flops down on the grass with a dramatic groan, tuckered out from the farm work he'd just completed. Despite his best efforts to get out of it, he'd been made to clean out the stables at Lon Lon for the better half of the day.
On their right is Sky, asleep under the sun with a relaxed expression gracing his visage. Saffy rolls their eyes. Of course, the hero would be relaxed; he got out of work because he'd almost passed out.
On his left sits Vio. He's reading a book about something complicated--potions or magic or the like--for the fun of it. Saffy doesn't really care for or understand it that much, so he stops looking around and buries his face in the grass, content to let the worms eat him or whatever.
"UGHHHHH" Saffron groans into the grass. "I'm SO BOREDDDD" She sits up on her knees and starts ripping out grass by the handful. Vio closes his book and is like "Find something to do then." Saffy glares daggers at him then stands up and walks over to Sky
"Will you do something with me?" He asks. and Sky responds by yawning and turning over onto his side. "Oh my god i hate you guys" Saffy says and stomps off BUT actually while they are stomping away, they step on sky's cape and cartoonishly slip and land on their head. They yelp and end up landing flat on their stomach, eating dirt.
Vio freaks out when he sees the whole thing happen and runs over and the scream woke up Sky. While they help Saffy up, a duck egg emerges from the top of their head. Both Vio and Sky stare at it for a second.
"Dude are you okay?" Vio asks, eyes still on the comedically large bump.
"NO!" Saffy exclaims. "This is... This is what happens when people don't hang out with me! I get magical tumours that will KILL ME unless I'm hung out with! It's a curse!" They insist. "Yeah!"
Vio blinks slowly, obviously disbelieving but not willing to drop the notion of the less than one percent chance Saffy is telling the truth.
Sky, on the other hand, is panicking.
"What!? Why didn't you tell us? We need to do something right now!" The chosen hero squawks, shaking Saffy's shoulders vigorously.
Vio rolls his eyes and steps away from the broody cucco of a hero, losing interest by the second. He doesn't, for whatever reason, tell Sky off. He probably wanted to see where this went. Call it a test of sorts.
Saffy grins, waggling his eyebrows. "Let's go prank Time, then. It'll go away after we pull it off, trust!"
He does an evil laugh under his breath and grabs Sky's arm, dragging him away to the stables to plan. A bucket of feed on his head? Covering him in paint and feathers like in Home Alone? There was so much that could be done!
Vio follows behind, lagging a couple of steps so if anyone caught them he could just run away. Saffy dramatically opens the stable gate and grins.
"Okay i have an idea." They rummage through a convineintly placed pile of clothing. they pull out two large cloaks that look like they belong in a cult storage room. They throw one of them to sky and pull the other one on themselves. "We're gonna find time, and then were gonna sing a song, I'll teach it to you on the way there." They look over Sky's shoulder to Vio. "Do you wanna join?"
Vio shakes his head. "Pretend Im not here"
Saffy scoffs "Lame" she mutters and drags sky out of the stable to look for time. When the pair spot Time talking to twilight, saffy is just about done with teaching the song to time. Saffy and Sky nod to each other and pull the hood down enough so that their faces were covered. They both pulled ishowspeed faces and walked up to time and twilight.
Vio had climbed up on the roof and was watching the four with hand binoculars.
"who are you guys?" Time asks "Can i help you?"
Then, Saffron gives the signal and he and sky start singing
"WE ARE CHARLIE KIRKKKKKKKK WE CARRRRYYY THE FLAME!!!! WE FIGHTTTT FOR THE GOSPEL!!! WE HONOUR HIS NAME!!!!!!"
and then time and twilight and vio are all blown away into orbit by the sheer kirk power.
