“You,” said Princess Terrett, “will pay for that!”

” I-I didn’t do anything,” protested the shamefaced yellow cat.

”Yes you did!” Exclaimed the fox. “You ripped her dress, you tit!” (A tit is a type of bird-not a rude word.)

”Hey, thanks for your loving support, Nightshade,” said the cat sarcastically.

”But you did, Lemon.” A small frog with a tiny daisy on its head hopped near the cat’s feet.

”Et tu, Froggy?” Said Lemon, desperately.

” I didn’t know you had the intellectual capacity to know Julius Caesar quotes, Lemon.” Nightshade looked unusually interested in the proceedings.

Princess Terrett grabbed Lemon’s tail and lifted him up. Lemon howled with pain.

“I am going to give you twelve tasks,” growled Princess Terrett, “and if you don’t complete them I will feed you to my SA monster!”

”Nooooooooooo… My life is over,” moaned Lemon.

”SILENCE!!!!!!!” Roared Princess Terrett. “Your tasks are:

1. Explain your view of the universe in less than 10 words.

2. Get a better score than Test-Bot on the next test.

3. Memorize 28535926 books.

4. Run 50 meters in 7 seconds.

5. Listen to my 56-hour lecture without falling asleep.

6. Draw a 100% accurate picture of me.

7. Climb the burj khalifa.  (the tallest building in the world)

8. Learn a new language.

9. Cut my toenails.

10. Wash my Princessmobile.

11. Survive one night in my classroom.

12. Defeat my SA monster.

This is, of course, referencing the twelve tasks of Hercules.”

””BUH?!?!?” Said Lemon.

”Seriously, Lemon,” said Nightshade, “you know a Julius Caesar quote but don’t know Hercules? What is wrong with your literacy?”

”Shouldn’t we help Lemon?” Froggy asked.

Nightshade turned to Princess Terrett. “Hercules got help on his quest, if this fiasco is based on the twelve tasks of Hercules it’s only fair that I and Froggy may assist Lemon.”

”Fine. Help your troublesome companion,” said Princess Terrett, “but remember there were also some people who would not let Hercules win no matter what.”

”WUH?!?!?” Exclaimed Lemon.

”You’re comparing yourself to Juno, queen of the Greek gods?” Said Nightshade. “Team, we need a plan. This lady is hardcore.”

”Dooooooomed,” moaned Lemon.

(If you are not familiar with Greek mythology, GET FAMILIAR WITH IT or this story won’t make sense.)
