Purple

The room fills with the snazzy sounds of jazz as Purple glides into his jacuzzi room. With a joyful grin, he sways to the rhythm, taking off his silky purple robe and placing his purple crown on a pillow he has, specifically for his crown. Sauntering over to his purple hot tub in his purple trunks, Purple hums along with the music as he turns on the steaming water and activates the bubble feature. When the water is high enough, he turns the water off and sinks into the jacuzzi, sighing heavily as he reaches into a cooler, embedded in a compartment in the hot tub, and pulls out a bottle of grape-flavored naphtha. A potent and costly beverage, attainable only through luxurious means. Purple continues to grin as he pours a small amount of the naphtha into a purple wine glass and takes a small sip of it, while chilling in the hot tub.

{SPITS}

Purple: Bloody hell! Oh, that's repulsive stuff! My mouth is on fire and not in a pleasant way! A thousand for this little bottle of bad life choices?! I want my damn money back!

Purple reaches into the cooler again and takes out a bottle of grape juice. He smiles as he takes a sip, his mood feeling much better.

Purple: Nothing beats fresh grape juice... 

He turns on the flat screen TV mounted across from him, and he watches the news as he's, again, chilling in his hot tub. The news are of nothing but the villains and how they want me in their clutches at all costs. A male news reporter get punched to the ground by Saffron, on live television, as the villain grabs the microphone and yells.

Saffron: DON'T THINK YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOODS YET, ALIEN! WE WILL FIND YOU!

Purple chuckles as he sips his grape juice.

Purple: Oh, I can always count on these villains to provide quality entertainment. Aliens? They're getting desperate at this point.

He sighs with great satisfaction as he closes his eyes and relaxes, feeling so blessed.

Walking towards the Purple Palaces, Teal and Jade are bickering to each other.

Teal: Look, I'm more important than you, so just stay out of the way.

Jade: Ha! That's rich coming from you, errand girl!

Teal: {growls and puts up her fists} You don't want to do this, Jade. I can easily kick your ass and get the information myself.

Jade: Oh, but you can't, because you're all bark! Arf! Arf! Arf!

Teal: Shut your damn mouth! 

Teal goes to lunge at Jade but she stops herself.

Teal: Grrrrr... Orchid is gonna have both our asses if we don't do this, so quit fooling around.

Jade: Oh, c'mon, Teal, this kid is just a rich loser. He doesn't have any real power.

Teal: Of course he's a loser, but he's the only source of information we have. So don't get carried away. 

Jade: I can't believe this is all for some space brat. Who STILL owes me goomee bars, by the way!

Teal: What? 

Jade takes out the empty gummy bear bag that she STILL KEPT ALL THIS TIME and reads it to Teal.

Jade: These little gelatinous lifeforms made from sugar, glucose syrup, and other ingredients that leave you addicted! 

...

Teal: Gimme that!

Teal snatches the wrapper.

Jade: HEY! GIVE ME BACK MY SECRET FORMULA!

Teal: See this, Jade?! He's bringing deadly substances to our planet! The sooner we find Dominic or whoever, the sooner we can piledrive his sorry ass into a graveyard!

Overhearing this conversation from the nearby alley is Magenta.

Magenta: Well, this isn't good... I gotta report...

----

Red: YELLOW, DID YOU ORDER THE PIZZA OR NOT?!

Yellow: YEAH! THIRTY MINUTES AGO!

Red: THEN WHERE THE HELL IS IT?!

Yellow: I DUNNO!

I am in Orange's room, since I haven't been in here before, and he asked me to. It is full to the brim with sports memorabilia, such as jerseys, balls, bats, etc, and guess what? It's all orange. I don't have a problem with orange, it's wonderful on the eyes, but I am not a sporty fellow, so I'm ashamed to say this isn't my cup of tea. But Orange seems very excited to show me his collection, so of course I have to stay. 

Orange: This was the first ever fan catch that I ever did, Dom bro! There was only ten seconds left in the game... the batter STRUCK the ball with all his might... and it was a home run! And I was the one who caught the ball!

 Me: Wow, Orange, I'm sure you're the only person I know who's ever been this interested in sports.

Orange: Dude, sports are my life! I don't think I could do anything else!

Me: {grins} So you wouldn't want to be a librarian?

Orange: A librarian?! Are you kidding?! There's nothing more boring than sitting inside a room all day! A QUIET room, no less!

Me: What about a surgeon?

Orange: Oh, hell naw. I'm too fidgety. Put me in charge of someone's surgery, you better be damn sure I'll be in charge of their funeral too. 

Me: Wow, Orange, maybe you should just stick to sports.

Orange: That's what I've been sayin'!

{CRASH!}

Orange and I jump at the sound of a loud crash coming from downstairs. 

Me: What was that?

Green enters the room with a sigh.

Green: Red's threw a fit... and the microwave... because the pizza still hasn't shown up when it was supposed to. 

Me: O-oh, I see. 

Orange: Wait, the microwave?! Oh, I gotta see this!

Orange laughs as he races out of the room, leaving me with Green.

Me: Green, we're having pizza?

Green: {shrugs} We were. It's strange, because the place Yellow ordered from always delivers on time.

Me: Maybe it was bombarded by villains.

Green: Maybe, but it never takes THIS long. 

Green and I go downstairs as Red is glued to the window. 

And Orange is laughing at the broken microwave.

Red: That dumbass pizza guy drove past our street, like, FOUR times! 

Me: Oh, and he's still not figuring it out? What a shame.

Red: And on my cheat day too! Goddamn it!

Red goes to throw a vase at the ground, but I stop her.

Me: H-hey, maybe this is a good opportunity for us to KEEP eating healthy.

Red: Screw that! I want my meat lovers!

Me: {sighs} How about I make you a meat sandwich that has a BUNCH of meat on it?

...

Red: I want it toasted.

Me: Fine, we'll toast it.

Red and I go to the kitchen as Green gets a call from Magenta.

Green: Magenta...? 

Green answers the phone.

Green: Magenta, why are you calling me?

Magneta: Well, I tried callin' Orange, but the doofus didn't pick up, as usual, so I decided to contact you who's, well, not a doofus.

Green: Uh, okay, what's this about?

Magenta: It's about your boy, Dominic. The villains are lookin' for him.

Green: Yeah, we know. We heard the broadcasts. We're keeping him safe here. I'm not saying where, in case this call is being recorded.

Magenta: Clever. But there's one problem. 

Green: What type of problem?

Magenta: A PURPLE problem. 

Green freezes for a bit.

Green: Purple...?

Magenta: The villains are breakin' into his penthouse as we speak. They're gonna try to get information from him. About Dominic. 

Green: B-but Purple doesn't KNOW about Dominic. 

Magneta: But he knows where he MIGHT be.

Green puts a hand over his mouth as he realizes Magenta is right.

Magenta: I'm tellin' you right now, stay inside... Whatever you do...

Green: O-okay, we will, thanks, Magenta.

Magenta: Anytime. And tell Orange to pick up his damn phone. 

Green: {chuckles} Sure.

Green hangs up and runs a hand though his hair, trying to keep himself calm.

Blue: A-are we in danger...?

Green leaps as he notices Blue gazing at him with a concerned expression on her face

Green: O-oh, Blue, well... You heard Magneta. As long as we all stay indoors, we should be fine. For Dominic's sake.

Blue: Wh-what happens if the villains get him...?

Green: I can't say, Blue. Actually, I don't WANT to. These villains have a reputation for being unpredictable. And we can't let Dominic suffer through that.

Blue: But Purple... He might rat us out...

Green: {sighs} Purple is a conceited fellow... but he is still one of us. I have faith that Purple will know what to do.

----

Purple: Dark? Or light? Dark...? Or... light...?

Purple is picking out which robe to wear for the evening, since he is always wearing one no matter what time of day it is. 

Purple: Well, I wore my dark purple yesterday, but I do look RAVISHING in light purple... However, I also appear extravagant in DARK purple. Oh, I suppose I will wear my dark purple again today. 

Before Purple can put his robe on, Jade and Teal barge into his penthouse.

Teal: Hold it, purple prick!

Jade: You're not goin' anywhere!

Purple is absolutely confused.

Purple: Huh? What's going on here?

Jade lunges at Purple and twists his arm behind his back, making sure he doesn't try to run.

Jade: Gotcha! You ain't goin' nowhere!

Purple: Ow! What's the meaning of this?

Teal: Oh, you'll understand real soon, buddy.

...

Purple: Are you two... "entertainers"?

Teal and Jade both flush red in embarrassment.

Teal and Jade: WHAT?!

Teal slaps him across the face.

Teal: How vulgar!

Purple: Ow! I apologize for misunderstanding, but I have a right to be confused since you two broke into my domicile!

Jade: Aha! So you DO know about the alien!

Purple: Alien? Is that what all the nonsense is about?

Teal grabs Purple's chin and makes him look at her.

Teal: And if you want us to leave you alone, tell us where he is.

Purple: I'm afraid you're both sorely mistaken. If I knew ANYTHING about this... alien, I definitely wouldn't have kept it to myself. 

Teal: Then why are you acting so suspicious?

Purple: M-maybe because your green friend is about to snap my arm off.

Teal: {sighs} Jade, let him go.

Jade: Not until he spills!

Teal: Jade!

Jade: Fine!

Jade lets go of Purple and he stands up straight, being a bit taller than the two villainesses.

Purple: I have no knowledge about an alien of any sort.

Teal: Your friends beg to differ.

Purple: My friends...? O-oh. Them. W-we don't talk anymore.

Teal: Tragic. But two of your friends, Red and Orange? Yeah, they know all about the alien because they have it kept in THEIR residence. Which, if I recall, was YOUR residence at some point, right?

Purple: I-I suppose so. So you want me to tell you where my former friends are, is that it?

Jade: That's right, punk. And we're not leaving here without an answer.

Purple: Well, even though I highly doubt such a being exists, if it will get you out of my luxurious hair, I will tell you.

Teal: Really? You'd seriously just rat your friends out like that?

Purple: {shrugs} Like I said, we aren't close anymore. Why should I keep THEIR secrets?  

Teal and Jade smirk at each other.

Jade: Alright, then, bub, spill it. 

Purple: You know, I will do you one better and write you the directions myself. 

Teal: Yes, fine, do that.

Purple grabs a piece of paper and a purple pen and starts writing.

Teal: {to Jade} Oh, Orchid is gonna be answerin' to me now... I basically saved us all.

Jade: Right, like I'd let you hog all the credit. 

Teal: You didn't do crap.

Jade: Oh, really, then why don't we spar on the roof? You and me, huh?

Teal: Don't be stupid.

Jade: Don't be a coward!

Teal: Why you-!

Purple clears his throat and hands them a purple envelope.

Purple: Here you are. You may give this to your superiors. This contains the exact location of my ex-friends' place of living, and directions on how to get there. I hope this serves you well.

Jade: Yeah, whatever, gimme!

Jade snatches the letter and starts racing out of the penthouse.

Teal: HEY! YOU LITTLE DITZ!

Teal chases after Jade, and the second they leave, Purple locks the front door.

Purple: What a troublesome pair...

He mutters to himself as he heads to the kitchen and grabs himself another bottle of grape juice.

----

At the abandoned city hall, Orchid is in the main area, her arms crossed as Teal and Jade stumble inside the building, arguing and snatching the letter from each other.

Orchid: {sighs} Oh, for goodness sake...

Jade tackles Teal to the ground, causing the letter to fly out of her grip. Orchid catches the letter in mid air before it can breeze past her. 

Orchid: I ordered you to collect information, not some pathetic letter.

Teal: Well, that IS information, and I'm the one who got it all by myself!

Jade: Don't listen to this sack of-!

Orchid releases two thorny vines from her person that coil around their necks and limbs, restraining them.

Orchid: Enough. 

She keeps them restrained as Orchid opens the letter.

Orchid: Let's see if you actually did your jobs for once.

Orchid's eyes narrow as she reads the letter that says: 

"YOU GOT PUNKED!"

In big purple letters.

Orchid: {scowls} Have you two lost your minds?

She shows them the letter. Teal and Jade both have looks of shock and fear on their faces.

Teal: That purple prick...

Jade: Oh no...

Orchid: You two shall stand as a warning to those who do not heed my commands.

Orchid tightens the vines around their limbs as she drags them along the floor. Teal and Jade try to escape but it is useless.

Teal and Jade: Ahhhhhhhhhh!

----

Meanwhile, as Purple sips his grape juice in the kitchen, he smiles at the photograph of his friends hanging on the wall.
