Pixies Page #5

---

- He is a very fit, young man.

And Shivassana to end, what a display!

It's also known as the dead body pose.

A little pre-meal stretch

is good for everyone.

Come on, Henry. Come on, Michelle.

Gather round.

Our troops are exhausted, sir.

They need rest and cannot continue.

They liked what he did?

They think he's fit?

We need him ruined!

Do something, Sam.

You must be the hand of vengeance.

Fine.

All right, team, let's eat!

This is not one of my better days.

Well done, my son.

- Let's go home.

- What makes you think this is over?

It's over for me.

What I just did... wasn't right.

I am so sorry, Mom.

Don't worry about it.

Everyone's okay and that's what matters.

Besides I haven't seen

an explosion like that

- since I smuggled antiquities out of Egypt.

- Yeah. Love you, Mom.

Well, saves me some money

on a haircut, at least.

No hard feelings, Joe.

Hope your luck changes.

Look, can I apologize for...

Not right now, just drive.

Hey, hey, Michelle, wait up!

Look, I would really

appreciate it if you just left.

Oh, man, this is gonna be great.

Michelle.

Joe, I'm working right now

and do not have the temperament.

- Please, let me explain.

- Explain what?

That you ruined my parents' house with

some outlandish yoga-infused craziness?

- No, I...

- Look, I have seen klutzy before

and I thought that was adorable,

but today's events, that was too far.

What is wrong with you?

If I tell you,

you promise not to think I'm crazy?

Go ahead, I'm listening.

- Pixies.

- Pixies?

Pixies. It's this whole curse thing.

- It started a while ago.

- You think that's funny?

- What?

- Hah!

You think you can win me over

by blaming Pixies for your problems?

No, it's the truth, absolute truth!

Joe, just go home before you break

something I won't forgive you for.

There! Behind you!

Stop! I don't have the patience

for this any more.

I got it!

Please leave, Joe.

I...

I'm... I'm so sorry.

- What next?

- Sam?

- We go home. This is over.

- Huh?

You're not thinking big enough, Sammy boy.

Joe? You okay?

Joe!

About time. Gimme a hand.

- Perfect!

- Oh, no.

Oh, this is the best day of my life.

Dad, this is really going too far.

All is fair in war and love.

- Dad...

- Son...

well-placed tree sap can work wonders.

Dad, look at him.

All I see is a big load of human scum.

Hello?

Joe, are you okay?

How could you possibly think

this is right, Dad?

Right or wrong, we did what must be done.

Pixies, our war is over!

And history shall declare us victorious.

I need a status update.

Sir, it looks like this is gonna take

a lot longer than we expected.

- How long are we talking?

- Well, if you factor in...

- I said how long!

- A few dozen years.

What are our options?

We could send half of our Pixies

to join another colony.

Send scouts to check for room

in allied villages.

Start dividing us up into refugee camps.

Yes, sir, will do.

So much for our kingdom.

What are we gonna do?

I have an idea.

Oh, wow, you've really

let this place go...

and yourself.

Have you not moved at all?

- We're gonna need to get you in the shower.

- Why, so you can trip me again?

Set my room on fire?

Continue to ruin my life?

No, no, I never...

Look, I didn't want to do it.

This was all because of my brother,

and he would have hated this.

He always used to tell me to treat people

how you want to be treated.

- Do onto others.

- Huh?

We humans have a saying, "Do onto

others as you want done onto you."

That sounds like my brother.

My mom used to say it. It's why I gave up.

I deserved your punishment.

I think we deserved the same,

after ruining your life for so long.

- So now what?

- Now we're gonna stop this horrible cycle,

and we're gonna do

something good... together.

I like the idea, but how?

First, you're gonna have a shower

and next, I'm gonna burn that chair.

Good call.

It does feel good to build something.

Pixies are not great builders.

Magnificent tricksters,

fantastic ruiners, great smashers,

but after we break something,

we never have to put it back together.

We really suck at building things.

Really? Birds build nests

out of sticks in like a day.

- Birds eat us.

- Touch.

Let's keep the chatter down. No one else

can see me and people are starting to stare.

Are you invisible?

No, we're wings and blood, just like you,

Joe. Don't over think it, big guy.

Hey, believe me, most things

in life, I don't over think.

This time, though,

I have put some thought into this.

You're Samuel's friend Twitch, aren't you?

This is where I get my medal

for brilliant combat strategy.

Have you seen my son, Samuel?

What? No medal?

I, um... saw him.

- Well, do you know where he is now?

- I think so.

Well, I'd like to, um... um...

apologize for my behavior.

He may have been a little wiser

than I gave him credit for.

We'll find him, sir!

- Come on, Twitch.

- Since when have you been the leading type?

Hurry up, Chunky.

Listen, just because I might not

be what you call a small Pixie,

doesn't mean you can pick on me.

I can't look like the Pixies

in those magazines.

I'm sorry, Max.

He's torturing Sammy.

It sounds like laughter to me.

Of course, it sounds like laughter!

It's diabolical laughter!

Let him go, you mad man! Let him go!

Let's go tell the king.

Oh, great majesty, lord of all we survey,

- he who is higher than the holiest of...

- Okay, okay, just get to it.

Your son, our friend, the prince Samuel,

is being tortured

by that big-headed human.

What? Is this true?

It is true, his head is massive.

He's pulling Sam apart, wing by wing!

You two, enough already,

round up the troops.

We have one last battle to fight.

Uh, what's with all the fuss?

Samuel! My boy! You're alive!

Did that... that human hurt you?

I've been working with Joe.

- He wants to help us and...

- Help us?

But he hates us... just as we hate him.

Joe doesn't hate us, he was angry,

but we ruined his life.

You were angry because William was hurt.

Both of us are allowed to be angry,

but what we did when we were angry...

it was wrong, Dad, we were both wrong.

You have an entire kingdom to lead

and you're going to lose them.

Let it go, Dad.

Let's stop the fighting.

Forgive me, sir...

you've been so worried over William,

you forgot about Sam.

He's a great son, and an amazing leader.

Huh.

I can help lead our people

in a new direction,

but I need you to trust me.

Look at you... Samuel.

I am sorry, my son. I'm sorry.

Follow me, Dad.

I have a surprise to show you.

I have a surprise for everyone!

Everyone, this is Joe.

Hi, Joe!

Hi.

I... I'm really sorry about

what I did to your village.

I lost my temper. What I did was wrong...

and I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

And William,

I wish I could take it all back.

Sam told me something

that William used to tell him,

something my own family once said.

Do onto others

as you'd have done onto you.

I hope what I'm about to show you repays
