Green Eggs and Fluff

A/N This conversation happened between Astrid and the twins on a slow Laugardagr (Saturday) morning. Ruffnut and Tuffnut's words are in italics. Astrid's words are in normal text. Any resemblance to a famous children's book is purely deliberate.

You might like them! Check your facts.

And cut you also! Watch your backs!

Your skirt! Your skirt! Your spiky skirt!
I bet you'd eat them in your skirt!

I would not, could not, in my skirt.
My mind won't change, I won't convert!

Would you in your shoulder pads?
Armored shoulders make you glad!

No, not in shoulder pads or skirt.
Now quit before you both get hurt!
Not with Toothless, not with a Nadder,
Not with a Terror - I'll make you sadder!
I would not eat them here or there.
I would not eat them anywhere!

You do not like green eggs and fluff?

I do not like them, Tuff and Ruff!

You do not like them. So you say.
Try them! Try them! And you may.
Try them and you may, I say.

Ruff and Tuff! To get some peace,
I will try them. Then you'll cease.

(she tries them)

And now I've tried green eggs and fluff,
I still don't like them, Tuff and Ruff!

Because you wouldn't call it quits,
My axe will chop you both to bits!
I'll punch you both right in the arm,
Just like with Hiccup, but more harm.
I'll hurt you with my friend Stormfly,
With spikes and fire until you cry!
Your Zippleback, he cannot save
You from my anger or the grave!
When I'm done pounding on your heads,
You'll wish that you'd stayed in your beds!
I said I hate green eggs and fluff!
I really meant it, Tuff and Ruff!

(she screams and chases them all over the island with her axe)

A/N The actual story behind this is, I was on vacation with my family for four days with no access to a computer, and I was going through withdrawal symptoms - I couldn't write anything! I had all kinds of ideas in my head, but I couldn't do anything with them! I finally found a PC available in the hotel lounge, sat down, and hammered this out in about half an hour. I guess the real moral of the story is, "Don't frustrate a compulsive writer, or you never know what will spill out of his head."
