Flufferwump the story part 5: Gummi Hell

Michael woke up confused with the thought of Flufferwump giving a present and offer of cake to Humperfluff. Why would he do that? It made no sense. Why be kind to someone who is so obviously evil?

Michael looked around an found that everyone was still asleep. “kindness costs nothing, but can change everything” Michael muttered to himself. That was when he decided to try to change everything. In an instant he forgave all of his fellow dorm mates for all the horrible things they had done to him, as he realised like Wumperfluff, their lives were full of disappointment and abandonement as well.

He broke apart the honeycomb marshmallow rock into small chuncks and tore off small pieces of the candyfloss cloud. He placed a piece by each boys bed with he candyfloss on top. He then drizzled over a little of the honey for them.  As soon as he did, something wonderful happened. Each of the small piles of tasty goodness transformed into a giant rainbow coloured desert with every kind of deliciousness inside it. Michael looked around and found there was one on his bed too.

“Wow, what on earth is this?”

“Amazing”

“Fan-tabby-doosey”

The cries were coming from the boys as they all started to wake up and see the deserts on their tables.

“This is so good!” they exclaimed as they ravenously heaped handfuls of the brightly colourd pudding into their faces. Once they finished, with not a few contented belches, they all seemed to lie down and drift back to sleep. It was bizarre.

Michael walked over to his surprise desert. He scooped up a handful. It wasn’t slimy but was cold and slippery like ice cream. He put some into his mouth. His taste buds went wild. There was apple and rhubard flavours, as well as vanilla and honeycomb and chocolate brownie, all with an undercurrent of a flavour so delicious that Michael could only describe as a unicorn farting rainbows!

He hungrily smashed the lot into his face. Once he finished, he felt this overwhelming drowsiness creep over him and he laid down on his bed.

Michael opened his eyes and he was back in the glen in Flufferwump’s land. He could smell smoke faintly in the distance. He looked around and saw a plume of smoke billowing up into the sky. “Oh no! What on earth is that?” Thought Micahel aloud as he ran for the red road. He followed the red road straight to the source of te smoke. It was in the middle of what looked like a deserted town. Brightly coloured houses were built in a hodgepodge of sizes and angles. There were shop signs on the front of some of them which had large windows. Michael looked through some of the windows and saw an amazing assortment of sweet treats and toys and strange fruit. But it all looked fresh. He looked around the streets and saw some trampled hats and scarves, as if everyone had left in a hurry. Confused Michael followed the red road to the source of the smoke.

As he rounded the last shop, one seeming to see glasses (including he noted some gloves that had been turned into galsses). As he rounded the corner his heart sank. In the middle of a square there was a building in ruins smoldering. Standing over the building was a gummi bear that must have been twice the size of the one from the cloud factory. Micahel felt something grad his arm and pull him into a side street. He was about to yell, but realised it was Flufferwump.

“Micahel this is the momma bear. She must have travelled up here at the same time as the other bear. Everyone has run away Micahel. We are all leaving. There is no way to get rid of the Gummi bear. We are goinmg to live on the otherside of the river. I guess Wumperfluff got his way”.

Micahel looked around with a tear is his eye, “No Flufferwump, there must be something we can do…… Wait, whats that?”

Michael pointed as a small triangular figure came rushing out of a building and confronted the bear.

“That’s Wumperfluff, what is he doing?”

Wumperfluff was obviously telling the bear to leave, but it looked at him and roared. The roar sent him flying across the square crashing into the building Micahel and Flufferwump were hiding behind. Flufferwump grabbed him and pulled him round.

“I didn’t want this…… I want everyone to come back. Oh Flufferwump, please help me! We have to get rid of the bear”

“This is what you wanted. The bears to chase everyone away so that you could rule over an empty kabd” Shouted Michael angrily “Why the sudden change of hearts?”

“When my brother remembered my Birthday I felt angry. Such a rage that I couldn’t contain. But I realised that I was angry at myself” as he spoke he was letting off small but stinky farts “I realosed that I just wanted to be part of this land. To have friends to talk to, dreams to live upto. I tried to stop the bears, but they were too big and angry after I shut off the honey river. I’m so sorry!”

“No time for complaining now, the gummi bear is destroying and eating everything it sees, all washed down with plenty of Gummi Ale.” Said Flufferwump with a sense of urgency, as he peered around the corner with his hands

“What on earth is gummi ale?”

“Its like really sticky treacle that makes who ever drink so ridiculously happy/ But it also makes whoever drinks it super hungry so that they have to keep eating” Explained Wumperfluff

“What are we going to do Micahel?” Asked Flufferwump hurriedly

“How am I supposed to kn…….. wait, do you see that?”

Flufferwump and Wumperfluff looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders. This was the most bizarre sight Michael had seen. It was like they went for a double high five but then started to shoulder dance at the same time, and as they were triangles the shoulder movements changed their shape from equaliateral to isosceles in a really disconcerting way.

“The gummi bear. Look when he eats something he gets bigger.”

“Yes we could have told you that” They both said in unison

“Yes well, I presume there is a limit. If we could fill it to bursting then it might just go pop!”

“In theory yes, but where are we going to get enough stuff to make it explode?”

“Well that’s where Wumper….”

Yes, I see it now” Exclaimed Wumperfluff “Flufferwump use your mime skills to force the bear to drink all of the gummi ale, I will do the rest. Remember me as someone who tried to do the right thing”

“Wumperfluff, what do you mean?” Asked Flufferwump with tears forming

But it was too late Wumperfluff had already run off towards the gummi bear. Michael shook Flufferwump to wake him up out of his stupor of disbelief. He fashed a mime block and used a mime rope to lift the gummi ale onto it. The bear was drawn to the gummi ale. As it picked it up to take a swig flufferwump fashioned up an imaginary pole and tipped the barrel so that all the gummi ale went down the bears throat. It downed the lot. It danced around a little giddy. It was hopping from foot to foot and clapping its massive hands and emitting a large noise which you could describe as a giggle.

Then suddenly it stopped and licked its lips. It stared hungrily around looking for something to eat. It spied a particularly tasty toffee looking house and ambled straight over to it, and with one massive bite took the whole roof off and swallowed it whole. What it didn’t see in its hunger was the small purple triangle on top of the roof.

All of a sudden there was a barrage of muffled fart sounds and the bear started to expand. The bear opend its mouth to burp, but the toffee of the house roof had stuck its jaws together. The fart sounds kept coming and the bear kept expanding. Small tendrils of green smoke were coming out of the bears nose and its eyes started to widen in fear. As Flufferwump and Micheal watched the whole bear kept expanding bigger and bigger. Soon enough its arms and legs had become little more than tiny apendages to its massive bulk. Then with one last massive parp the bear reached its limit and with a huge bang exploded.

The shockwave knocked Micahel and Flufferwump over. The whole town square got covered in chunks of sticky gummi. Michael jumped to his feet, covered in runny gummi bear and started to do a happy dance of victory. However as he did he realised that Flufferwump was sat on the floor crying.

“Whats wrong Flufferwump, We’ve saved the day!”

Flufferwump looked up at him, and from his pocket he pulled out a childs colourful drawing of 2 triangles holding hands. One was green with purple spots, one purple with green spots. Then he took it back and held it in his hands.

Michael took a couple of steps back as the realisation hit him. Then he spotted some m ovement from the centre of the square.

“Flufferwump look over there in the middle of the square, something is moving”

Flufferwump looked up . Then he slowly got to his feet. Then started to walk towards the moving shape. It looked vaguely like a triangle. Flufferwump started to run with his hands help high in the air looking forward. “Wumperfluff your alive!”

“Grrrrrr, I want to forget all about that experience” said Wumperfluff groggily “I think I even disgusted myself in there.”

Michael could see around the square that more and more figures were turning up. They were a variety of shapes and sizes, all colours of the rainbow were represented as well. They cautiously made their way over towards Wumperfluff as well, and when they reached him they lifted him into the aim and started chanting his name

Michael woke up to someone gently shaking him. He started as he realised it was Dennis, and there was no armpit in his face.

“D-d-d-d- ennnis?” Micahel asked confused and worried

“Michael wake up, its time for breakfast”.

Micahel looked around wary of traps, but all the boys were looking at him waiting for him to get up

“We’re sorry Micahel” Dennis said, followed by a chorus from the other boys. “We’re all sorry for everything we’ve done”

Michael stared at them all stupefied

“We all at that scrumptious desert you made us, and it appears we all had the same dream. It was like watching from a far as some strange, smelly triangle creature made a giant gummi bear explode by farting. We saw you there Michael helping them out. You were amazing.”

Life for Michael was very different from that point onwards. He got first choice in the canteen of the gruel, but with his frequent trips into Flufferwump world, he always managed to come back with something sweet he could share with everyone to make it taste like unicorns farting rainbows.
