It all changed so fast, What happened.. We all were friends, he seemed so happy, what was wrong. He woke up. A typical morning of overthinking that night it all came crashing down...
Take a moment
"ATTENTION, ATTENTION. PARDON MY DEAR CLOWNS BUT SOME IMPORTANTLY DELIGHTFUL NEWS IS SOON TO BE GIVEN. TRY TO KEEP YOUR NOSES ON!" The Laughter ensues by the crowd
"But on a serious note, we do have important news. A good ..jester.." a slight chuckle to make. The crowd laughed. This always happens, a joke, a pun, laughing. Once it stopped the show went on. Lights to the stage shut off. People tapping their feet patiently waiting. The lights faded on, as a colorful clown stood in the middle of the stage "ONCORE!" the clown said doing a summersault back with the light fading away once again. The crowd roared from the excitement of the word.
Lights flipped on to reveal the short colorful clown standing on a tall dull clown's shoulders. The drumming and music started, the colorful clown flipped off their shoulders to a small hula hoop and hung upside down.
The dull clown threw gray,blue and purple balls. The clown caught them and started juggling upside down spinning on the hula hoop. The colorful clown threw the gray ball in the air making it disappear with the hula hoop spinning and then juggling they rose sitting straight on the hoop with not a moment of hesitation. After minutes of doing this he gracefully slid off the hoop throwing the two remaining balls out to the crowd.
The crowd went nuts trying to catch them. The colorful clown looked up at the dull clown jumping into the air to squeeze his nose as it made a loud honk.
The crowd laughed happily as the clowns bowed and the lights shut off. The lights turned on, a few tricks and a few jokes with puns told. People stood and clapped as others walked out smiling and talking about the show. Hours later after everyone left the dull and colorful clown started cleaning up. "God- your so cool Salad- I know I see you perform everyday but i admire you so much." The colorful clown laughed "Slushy you're a sweetheart, but you're just as amazing" They both smiled and they started sweeping. "Yea but- you started this circus, you make everyone smile! That's amazing." Slushy said laughing. Salad put his hand on the dull clown's face and said "You're just as amazing in your own ways, I see so much in you. One day this circus will be all yours and you have to promise me you'll show all you got emkay?" The clown nodded and sniffed "y-yea-" He sat up and chuckled.
One day..I hope it's no wear near the time.
Salad took his hand off and sighed smiling at Slushy for a moment then went back to cleaning. He thought for a bit Being the owner of this place.? Can I even do that? How would I even run this place? What about the people? The town. Me.. he tried to think nothing of it as he cleaned. Salad jumped "mate! I think we need music!" he said while taking a box out of the corner and playing some old hip hop music and doing a small shimmie. Slushy laughed and put the broom down "You're so weird-" the room was just him and Salad. Laughing. Having a fun time.
Slushy joined in doing a stupid dance on purpous "Hows my form little man? He asked jokingly. Salad shimmied his way over "Perfect mate, it's amazing!" he said laughing more.
Hours went by of them just singing along and dancing together while cleaning occasionally.
Nothing could ruin this moment. "Say! Say! Say! What you want, girl!" The two sang jokingly together being completely offbeat but loving it anyway. They took each other's hand dancing and laughing through the stage feeling like they were the main characters of a movie.
The sun started setting, no breaks taken or messes completely cleaned up. It felt as if time and boredom just didn't exist anymore, hours upon hours of the feel of dancing on clouds and singing with birds rushing through them. The fade of orange and yellow fighting over each other to see who can stay with the sun the longest was the perfect touch.
The sounds of banging against thin metal and ripping of bags overtook the sound of the music. They both stopped dancing and turned off the music looking in the direction of where the sound was coming from. Salad started walking behind the stage with the occasional sounds of his necklaces clinking together. He took a long and heavy look side to side making sure nothing was going to jump out at him. The sounds got louder and more aggressive as time went on. The two stared at each other and nodded before Salad took the first step following the direction of the noise.
No fear was shown in Salad's eyes while walking. "Whoever is here. I promise I mean. We mean no harm." He said with a calm worried tone in his voice.
