Prompt: fighting (written as a conversation)
“Have a seat. I’m glad you’re here.”
“So am I, and I’m going to sit upwind of you, thank you very much.”
“Hey! I took a bath this morning.”
“Your kind reek.”
“Ooh, racist.”
“Scientific fact. Skunks smell even when they’re not spraying.”
“At least I don’t have fleas, you mangy cat.”
“I had a dip yesterday.”
“And you’ve still got tobacco juice in your fur. Okay, look here, I have the map – “
“This is insane.”
“Yes. That’s the Insane River, and as you can see my forces are on the east bank, and yours are on the west bank.”
“Hm, yes, we can bank on that. Your forces are much closer to their jumping-off points.”
“It’s a warm day. They probably want to go swimming.”
“Aha!”
“What?”
“You reveal your true intentions, you striped nuisance. You’re going to sneak your army across the Insane River under the guise of a lunchtime frolic!”
“Look, Spotty, it’s hot out there, and our fur’s thicker than yours. If my troops want to take a swim – “
“I don’t give a damn about your troops and their – “
“Hah! Caught you! You’re going to use the standoff on the Insane River to launch a sneak attack on the Giva Dam!”
“What? How’d you – aw, crap.”
“HAH! I knew it! With the Giva Dam in your paws, you’d control Rikki Lake, and blackmail the cities downstream.”
“Nertz. Well, I admit I wanted to control Ohmigosh.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. That way I could force Ohmigolli into allying with me, and we’d be able to push you out of the Yodelinda Valley.”
“Well, you’ve given your plans away, and – “
“Phwagh! Dude, no spraying!”
“I didn’t spray! Honest!”
“Well if you didn’t spray, what the hell was that?”
“Mom made burritos for dinner last night.”
“Your Mom’s a bad cook.”
“You never complain when you come over.”
“Yeah, well . . . you want to start fighting?”
“You gave all your plans away.”
“Hmm. Let’s go out to the skate park.”
“Cool. I want to practice a new trick.”
