The B-B-B-Bucket Band

The Search for Fame

NOTE: SOME OF THESE CHARECTERS ARE VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY LOOSELY BASED ON REAL PEOPLE. BUT VERY LOOSELY... THESE PEOPLE ARE VERY INTELLEGENT IRL

NOW I'LL LET YOU ENJOY THE STUPID STORY

The B-B-B-Bucket band had been bankrupt for some time. After the release of their first album, Goat, they did just about nothing, leaving them penniless...And nickeless...And dimeless. Bucket, Duck, Jamesy and Eric barely had enough money to buy ice cream for their supper.

One day Duck had a brilliant idea. "Hey Bucket!" he cries "I have a brilliant idea! Why don't we get our fame back so we can have money again!"

"Man that is a brilliant idea," Bucket replies "But how?"

"Um guys..." their manager says "You could just-" She is met with a chorus of shut ups. Their manager could be so stupid sometimes.

That night Bucket pondered what Duck had said. He wonders how they could get their fame back. He fell asleep thinking about his dilemma.

"Bucketttt... Bucketttttttttttttt..."

Bucket quickly opens his eyes. He's astonished to see two black cats calling his name.

"Who are you?!" He asks. " And how the heck are you talking?!"

"That's unimportant..." They say in unison. "We've come to tell you how to get back your fame."

"My fame!" Bucket jumps up "How?! How!?"

"Go into the forbidden forest. Talk with the witch who lives there. She will give you back your fame. If you can get there first! Beware the-"

Bucket wakes to feel Eric shaking him. It was all a dream?!

"Eric!" he yells "I know how to get back our fame!"

...

The forbidden forest. What a spooky place. The creepy trees were outlined against the suddenly dark sky. It was dead silent as if the forest was waiting...just waiting to eat the B-B-B-Bucket band.

"Guys...this is kinda scary..." Jamesy says.

"Oh lighten up Jamesy!" Bucket laughs "After this is all done we'll be rich and famous again."

With the thought of tons of ice cream in their heads they tromp into the forbidden forest.

The only thing breaking the silence is the sound of their feet rustling the fallen leaves. It's been hours since they entered the forest and they seem to be hopelessly lost. Finding the witch might be harder than they thought. Suddenly the quiet is broken by a horrible screech and the sound of leaves being trampled underfoot.

"What is that?" Duck asks, terrified.

"I dunno but I'm not waiting to find out!" Jamesy screams "RUN!!!!!"

The band doesn't wait. They run like cheetahs. As he runs Eric makes the horrible mistake of looking behind him.

What he saw next would give the B-B-B-Bucket band nightmares for years. (Stop reading if you're easily terrified, you'll probably pee your pants)

Running behind them are tiny rabbits. They seem sweet enough. But if you look closer you'll see their tiny, adorable, innocent mouths are filled with shark teeth.

"Umm guys," Eric yells "Unless we want to be B-B-B-Bucket band chow we better run faster!"

They run and run. They run until they're out of breath and their legs ache. Suddenly, as if it's a gift from god, a small log cabin appears.
