01x10 - Jinxed

Post by bunniefuu »

the tugboat for its size is the most

powerful craft afloat and the star tags

are the power behind the docks and

waterways that make up the big city port

this is tux

i tottered see 10 cents and sunshine

spotted a tug that never seen before his

nails boom

he was just drifting realizing it could

be in trouble they approached him

cautiously his engine was stopped maybe

even broken down a towline grouped in

the water and his rigging was scrappy no

flag flapped in the breeze it seemed no

one owned him

keep away just leave me alone please be

gone

you're drifting in busy sailors that's

dangerous even better yeah we'll have to

take in just leave me be I don't want

any help

why why not because well because I'm a

jinx I'm bad luck

thing as a jinx oh isn't there you'll

sunshine had restocked boomer and got a

good head of steam the big moment

arrived okay we'll try your engine now

you see no it was as well for ten cents

that he still had a line on boomer the

smoke billowing everywhere it would have

been difficult and dangerous to get too

close he pulled him clear of the dock

and strangely as soon as he was clear

the smoke stopped completely how do you

do that the smoke saga told you sunshine

changed before was it no oh dear

boomer seek answers take them talk too

long as you're right this minute I was

their voice sir

land right on top of an obstacle that

doesn't let me all I want to do is sink

and become a home for the fishes then I

will jinkx anyone hmm mighty moe the

floating crane and found the task

difficult troublesome things have been

happening during the afternoon ten cents

had collected a large barge in which

boomer was to be placed once he was high

enough out of the water he shorted it

Bojan the Boomer as shooters okay he's

heavy but I don't want to only turn

full study you're here no room up yeah

come on

Minho's is Jame you let me take the bow

jam with Trevor Lauren ish huh just what

I thought would happen I know that jinx

don't be silly sunshine nor that bar

somewhere and go tell captain star we'll

have to try and tow this lot too lucky

job before it gets dark

you reckon we will yeah if we don't get

jinxed before we get there hey what you

up to

Lucky's yard was ready for them it was

brightly lit up as they approached Big

Mac & ojb room so there to take the

creams away and ahead of them was a

rough construction ready to take boomer

be careful now love to guide the claims

so they can lower the tank onto that Rob

Roy

yes your coj why suffer heat sunshine

I like steady she goes

I'm sky know what's a Lily get your own

lights until I like quick I think

ah good he's alright I'll put it again

Big Mac try a hate oh you don't push

understand

no serious damage was done to the tugs

boomer was repaired and some days later

was working for captain zero he and the

Zen stacks were on the munitions

contract no sooner had 10 cents to

today's meeting when the remissions

barge exploded much to the zetz tax

bewilderment see you can't get rid of a

jinx that easily 10 cents

that was another captain zero he got rid

of the unhappy boomer when I took him

back intending to use him for simple

jobs where nothing could go wrong see a

Boomer if you need any help

sinking let me know ten cents and

sunshine had just delivered some barges

to a customer I've just been thinking

yeah thinking what I've just been

thinking that you make Jenks boomer why

don't you do how look every time he's

working we've gone past you've sounded

Yahoo tur so school being friendly not

ever it always causes an accident and it

always does just think the ammunition

barge my team or the Roar Pat the engine

well that's coincidence not jinxed call

it anything you like

but it seems to coincidence boomer when

you do it yeah longer guys speak to

boomer about it look you're coming

yes sir boomer with anyone might have

solved the problem I want to try

something go on

ten cents do it blue twice yeah where

that was a stupid exercise sunshine no

it wasn't ten cents

you'd better get another one fast I've

had just about enough don't you ten

cents

you better go fetch another mother boy

the following morning after the briefing

I made the three touch stay behind right

switches you could show Puma where the

schooner is we have a contractor tore

out to see

I reckon boomer can do that seeing

there's no engines to break down to

catch fire

no crane horses to snap no ammunition to

explode or boys to sing just plain same

and if boomer breaks down then the cell

can more likely pull him very true sir

very droll come on before he changes his

mind okay

the dole tote they escorted boomer to

the old Wharf without anything going

wrong good luck

boom up no such thing theories but it's

recognizing it as difficult well don't

sound your hooter maybe that'll help me

recognize something it's just gonna be

your care this time nothing can go wrong

now too early yeah well it's also anyway

if it does it's nothing to do with me

I'm staying right here in the harbor

I've got to admit ten cents it is a bit

mysterious shoreless jinx tough things

gone wrong

later 10 cents and sunshine were working

with Big Mac and OJ when the fire launch

brought in boomer and that burnt-out

school what's happened lightning that's

what happened but that fire object

didn't believe me

he thought I was going too fast and a

spark flew out of my stack but it's not

true yeah anyway I can't be bothered to

argue anymore we must start sunny I did

nothing

lightning well it's possible I suppose

but on such a nice day as this

anything's possible with boomer you

really is jinxed after the schooner

incident I decided there was only one

thing for it

I had sunshine take boomer to Lucky's

yard with strict instructions that he

was never to be used as a tug ever again

no matter what it was there for a

surprise - 10 cents and sunshine when a

few weeks later I ordered them to pick

up boomer and take him up river why

wouldn't you tell us what we'll find out

when we get there I've been dreading

what's gonna happen to him we are don't

like the sound of upriver there's a

ships graveyard in for rusting homes you

know that 10 cents and sunshine were

expecting the worst I had said that

boomer was never to be used as a tug

again and that's exactly how it was when

they arrived at the yard boomer the tug

was nowhere to be seen

moored by the pier was a strange-looking

floating house top of the morning

10-cent morning sunshine is that really

you boomer indeed it is well a house

vote but don't you feel so silly

not one bit not at all it's what I

always wanted to be now hurry up you two

I want to get upriver to my new mooring

when they found it it was a tree-lined

back and it was clearly marked done

tugging my my home sweet home at last

oh you like it here lots of nice trees

to keep you cool in it come on it's all

I ever wanted thank you both

I'm sorry if I got you into trouble ah

that's all right well let's up the jinks

left yeah it's what it did to others

that worried me the most

well taint Nagor yeah we'll come to

visit you some day man thanks thanks

both of you thanks for everything

oh you shouldn't have sorry

no it's gone it's over that proves it

if I was still jinx the tree would have

crashed down on me or one of you two

more likely yeah yeah you're right

yeah see you soon bye bye

look after yourselves I dragon see I

boomer thank you

but ten cents and sunshine it was back

to work as usual but for Boober well

he'd found his ideal place in the world

mother and he was very happy there

because the jinx had gone
