Pixies Page #2

---

- Yeah, Sumatra.

I was having some freshly roasted coffee

with a few travel mates when, whoosh!

It just hit! I mean, lucky timing, I guess.

Hey, I can't find any ice, but I got this.

- Got what?

- Here.

Do you always attack

your guests with meat products?

Um, it's Tofurky,

so technically it's not meat.

And I don't have ice,

so this is gonna have to do.

A vegan with a throwing arm,

I didn't think that was possible.

Hey, if you have a problem with vegans,

you're gonna have two black eyes.

No, no, this is good. I surrender.

Atta boy, we vegans

aren't all that bad, are we?

I guess not.

Pictures are a little heavy, though.

Negative effects of environmental abuse

was a good angle for my last art show.

I'm actually getting ready

for my next art show this week.

It's a diorama set of a 1950's amusement

park, and I've sculpted everything...

Hear anything?

I think I discovered a secret,

human language.

Hey, guys, check this out.

Looks like Joe might have a girlfriend.

We'll see about that.

- I'd like to hear what they're saying.

- You can see it on his face.

- He's...

- In love.

- Isn't that how you look at Daisy?

- No! I don't!

You do! You so do.

Okay, dead wings for both of you.

This sculpture is incredible.

You're very talented.

Well, thank you, thank you very much.

World traveler, masterful artist,

Elvis impersonator...

and a looker to boot.

You probably'd say that to all the people

who physically assault you.

No, I'm serious.

Uh, hey, Dad, no, I... I had another...

Yeah, yeah, I know, but I...

I'll be right there.

Hear anything?

I can't hear a thing

but my conscience crying.

- What?

- I mean, maybe we should take a break.

And get lectured by your dad? No, thanks!

I could go for some eats.

There's a Mexican skip around here.

It's supposed to be muy deliciosa!

Is that on your Wing Watchers

approved diet?

No, but in the city,

no one can hear me eating burritos.

It's actually your silent ones

that are the problem.

You are so dead!

I'd rather take my dad's lecture.

- Listen, I'm running late for work.

- Oh, my gosh, I'm sorry to have kept you.

No, no, the pleasure is all mine.

I, uh... I was wondering...

If I treat you to an apology dinner

for smashing your face?

Uh, yeah? Yeah.

- Sure.

- For real?

- My name is Michelle.

- Joe.

- Nice to have my face smashed by you.

- Pleasure was all mine.

This is the part

where you ask for my number.

I'm... I'm not very good at this, am I?

No, Joe, you're not.

Max, did you just power bomb Twitch?

Yo quiero nacho libre!

El Supremo Maximo!

Oh, yeah!

Who da' man? You da' man.

Whoa, that's a lady. You da' lady, man.

Sammy, our mark is leaving.

Guys! Come on!

Let's give it a rest for a bit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

She likes me! She really likes me.

Hey, Dad, I'm gonna be a little late.

You guys are impossible.

Hey! Today ruled!

Michelle's the greatest thing

I've ever seen.

Doo, doo, doo, dah, doo...

Hm?

Hm.

Stupid toothpaste lid.

Give me that!

All right, so life's not perfect.

I did get to meet the girl of my dreams.

Tomorrow, it will be better.

Wish tomorrow could be better

for me, too, big guy.

Sammy, what's the matter?

I'm not feeling it. This isn't fun.

You're avenging your brother.

The fun part is just... fun.

Sam!

Let him go!

He has to figure this out by himself.

- How's he doing?

- He's doing much better, Samuel.

Sam? Sam!

I haven't seen you in forever.

How are you?

I'm great. You look... stunning.

Why thank you, fair prince.

I've missed... well,

I've missed being here.

I've missed you, too.

Sam, you've just missed

the craziest thing.

It was insane!

Pixie Tom, you know, the slug farmer?

Was flipping his lid!

I opened up the gate,

and it's like, Slug-apalooza!

- You've gotta see this.

- No, Twitch, I don't gotta see that.

I want to mingle with my Pixies for once.

Oh.

Oh.

Um... hey, Daisy!

Hi, Twitch. Nice to see

you and Max haven't changed.

I think that was an insult.

Nah, it's gotta be a compliment.

- That was a compliment, right?

- Not in your wildest dreams.

Hey, Sam, we never got that date.

How about we zip to the glow worm trail?

- Without your buddies.

- Sure, that's great.

Wait! What about the curse?

Hello?

Hello? Sir?

- Are you here?

- Distraction!

Well?

Whoa? Whoo!

It's Samuel, he's in the village. He's...

Not with the human?

Take me to him, at once!

That boy has a lesson to learn.

You've really surprised me.

I thought I'd never see you again.

You can't keep the prodigal son

away from home forever.

So what's it like?

Being on the outside all the time?

A lot less fun. Humans live to work

and there's no one to really talk to.

No? What about Bumble Dee and Bumble Dumb?

Well, they're dependable, but I think

you summed them up pretty well yourself.

Well, I don't see them around. Do you?

I suppose not.

- Ow!

- That's two.

- Want to go for a third?

- No. You slap too hard.

That's the point.

Yeah, well, how about

if I gave you a dead wing?

Oh! My funny bone!

I'm genuinely surprised, all that

extra you doesn't work like an air bag.

I think Sammy's in trouble.

Wow... spoiling the moment... again.

- Sam, your dad, he's...

- Super mad...

- like veins-bursting-from-his-head mad.

- And he's...

Standing in the presence

of the disgrace I call my son.

- Dad, I...

- Save it!

When I make a declaration,

I stand by my decree.

Here you are making a fool of yourself

- and making a fool of this family!

- It's not like that, Dad.

Oh, no? Then please explain

to me what this is,

because what I see is a son

disobeying his father,

so he can trounce around

with some questionable girl.

Some, girl?

Don't you dare raise your voice

to me, young man!

All you care about is vengeance!

What about love, Dad?

Did you ever think that maybe

it would be nice if I fell in love? Did you?

Love?

You don't know a thing about love.

Love is when you build a kingdom

with your bare hands...

to impress a woman.

You spend 110 years of your life

raising two heirs to the throne,

and when someone takes that all away

from you, you make them pay!

And too scared to exact

that revenge yourself, you send me.

- Get out of my kingdom.

- Dad...

Get out, leave! And don't come back.

Dad?

- Sammy?

- I have to go.

Awkward.

Stupid curse, you want me

to ruin a guy's life?

Is that what you want?

Fine.

What the... how'd a squirrel get in here?

Those aren't nuts! Wait, ow!

Ah, toast.

Good morning, Mr. Bluebird.

Your friend here had a little success

with the ladies.

Surprised? I know, so was I.

I think today is gonna be

a brand-new start for Joe.

Huh?

Hot! It's hot!

Fire! Fire!

Stupid nature. What a mess?

Why me?

Huh... hello?

Footprints?

- Hey!

- Wh... did you just talk?

You just talked.

You said, "Hey." I heard you!

What are you?

I'm not letting you out of there

until you tell me what you are.

Fine, I'm here to give you a memo

from the flies in your kitchen.
