Heart of the Knight

"Indeed, where? And... do you have more? I like tea."

 

"From my hat of course!" Phobia chimed. She pointed to her Mad-Hatter's hat. "It's what the cops here know me by. Of course, you two are free to look and see whatever else might be hiding in there." (xD magic hat!) "I have too-too-too-TOO much in there for just myself."

 

"Kind of like a magic trick?" Joker asked. "If I had a pencil, I could give you all magic trick," he said.

 

"Oh yummy! You wouldn't happen to have some black tea in there would you? ...And some sugar? I like my tea unbelievably sweet."

 

"Nuuuu! not a magic trick... it's more of a magic treat. ... See what you can find!" Phobia giggled at the two. "Here's your pencil, Mr.Joker." She handed him said item. She placed her hand into the hat, and pulled out a plate of tea, crumpets, and cookies.

 

"Want to see this pencil dissappear?" Joker asked as he put it on a table. "How about you, young sir?" he said looking at a man. When the man didn't reply, Joker grabbed him. "Ta-da," Joker said as he smashed the man's head into the pencil. The man and the pencil, the pencil sticking out of his eye, fell to the ground. "It's gone."

 

"Magnificent, Joker! You sure have a way with writing utencils!" I grinned.
"Would you like to come with me over to my house, so I can play you a wonderful concert?"

 

"Sure," Joker said.

 

"Alright then; come along!" I lead my new 'playmates' to a deserted area of a park. I then proceded to walk by it, and enter a broken down thetre.

 

"This place could go for a Clown makeover. Maybe a... Carnival," Joker said.

 

"Ohhh! What FUN!" Phobia looked around happily. "Maybe I should get us some Popcorn and Pepi-cola for the show?" She stuck her hand in her hat, and pulled out a large popcorn, and two large sodas.

 

I walked up on stage, turned on a stereo, and started to sing: Everybody's fool, by Evanescence.

"Everybody's Fool"

"perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that

never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now i know she

never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool"

I bowed, then climbed off the said stage. "Did you all enjoy my singing?"

 

Phobia smiled. "How MADly lovely." She stuck her hand into the bucket of popcorn, grabbed a handfull of the stuff, and munched on it happily.

 

I giggled. "Joker! :D Would you like to have a go at kareoke?"

 

"I can sing," Joker said with a laugh.

 

Phobia clapped happily, much like a toddler would. "Go for it! I'll be the judge!" She took a score board out of her hat. (i wonder how that fit...? O_o)

 

I sat down on one of the thetre's chairs, and stared at the stage.
"Go on Joker! I wonder what you'll sing?"

 

The Joker thought for a while and said, "Bats inspired me," he whisperd to himself. After this he said:

"I'm only laughing on the outside
My smile is just skin deep
If you could see inside I'm really crying
You might join me for a weep,"

He said these words happily and laughing. "You know, one of these day's I'll get him to loosen up and truely laugh with me. On the outside... and inside," he said.

 

I clapped loudly. "Oh WONDERFUL Joker! Encore! Encore! Bravo!"

 

Phobia smiled. "Does he have no humor? You seem fairly funny to me!" Phobia chuckled lightly, and put a 10 under Joker's name on the score board.
