It all started when our adventure-loving...adventurer, Dixle Normous, woke up in a fanstic pumpkin patch. It was the eighth time it had happened. Feeling very angered, Dixle Normous slapped a carrot, thinking it would make him feel better (but as usual, it did not). Suddenly cheered up by the Hamtaro theme song, he realized that his beloved Holy Grail was missing! Immediately he called his enemy in training, Mike Koch. Dixle Normous had known Mike Koch for (plus or minus) 2,000 years, the majority of which were enchanting ones. Mike Koch was unique. He was outgoing though sometimes a little... pestering. Dixle Normous called him anyway, for the situation was urgent.
Mike Koch picked up to a very ecstatic Dixle Normous. Mike Koch calmly assured him that most disease-carrying chipmunks turn red before mating, yet man-eating capybaras usually charismatically yawn *after* mating. He had no idea what that meant; he was only concerned with distracting Dixle Normous. Why was Mike Koch trying to distract Dixle Normous? Because he had snuck out from Dixle Normous's with the Holy Grail only seven days prior. It was a striking little Holy Grail... how could he resist?
It didn't take long before Dixle Normous got back to the subject at hand: his Holy Grail. Mike Koch shuddered. Relunctantly, Mike Koch invited him over, assuring him they'd find the Holy Grail. Dixle Normous grabbed his time machine and disembarked immediately. After hanging up the phone, Mike Koch realized that he was in trouble. He had to find a place to hide the Holy Grail and he had to do it fearlessly. He figured that if Dixle Normous took the neighborhood-terrorizing crotch rocket, he had take at least five minutes before Dixle Normous would get there. But if he took the Lesta? Then Mike Koch would be ridiculously screwed.
Before he could come up with any reasonable ideas, Mike Koch was interrupted by six pestering Dragons that were lured by his Holy Grail. Mike Koch sighed; 'Not again', he thought. Feeling concerned, he carefully reached for his dull pencil and skillfully grabbed every last one of them. Apparently this was an adequate deterrent--the discouraged critters began to scurry back toward the foxy forest, squealing with discontent. He exhaled with relief. That's when he heard the Lesta rolling up. It was Dixle Normous.
----o0o----
As he pulled up, he felt a sense of urgency. He had had to make an unscheduled stop at The Salvation Army to pick up a 12-pack of wolverines, so he knew he was running late. With a skillful leap, Dixle Normous was out of the Lesta and went indiscriminately jaunting toward Mike Koch's front door. Meanwhile inside, Mike Koch was panicking. Not thinking, he tossed the Holy Grail into a box of dull pencils and then slid the box behind his elephant. Mike Koch was relieved but at least the Holy Grail was concealed. The doorbell rang.
'Come in,' Mike Koch exotically purred. With a quick push, Dixle Normous opened the door. 'Sorry for being late, but I was being chased by some dimwitted spite-toting jerk in a tricycle,' he lied. 'It's fine,' Mike Koch assured him. Dixle Normous took a seat exotically proximate to where Mike Koch had hidden the Holy Grail. Mike Koch panicked trying unsuccessfully to hide his nervousness. 'Uhh, can I get you anything?' he blurted. But Dixle Normous was distracted. In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, Mike Koch noticed a oafish look on Dixle Normous's face. Dixle Normous slowly opened his mouth to speak.
'...What's that smell?'
Mike Koch felt a stabbing pain in his prostate when Dixle Normous asked this. In a moment of disbelief, he realized that he had hidden the Holy Grail right by his oscillating fan. 'Wh-what? I don't smell anything..!' A lie. A selfish look started to form on Dixle Normous's face. He turned to notice a box that seemed clearly out of place. 'Th-th-those are just my grandma's dangerous oil-soaked rags from when she used to have pet spotted wolf hamsters. She, uh...dropped 'em by here earlier'. Dixle Normous nodded with fake acknowledgement...then, before Mike Koch could react, Dixle Normous aimlessly lunged toward the box and opened it. The Holy Grail was plainly in view.
Dixle Normous stared at Mike Koch for what what must've been nine nanoseconds. Ever so extemperaneously, Mike Koch groped sassily in Dixle Normous's direction, clearly desperate. Dixle Normous grabbed the Holy Grail and bolted for the door. It was locked. Mike Koch let out a saucy chuckle. 'If only you hadn't been so protective of that thing, none of this would have happened, Dixle Normous,' he rebuked. Mike Koch always had been a little selfish, so Dixle Normous knew that reconciliation was not an option; he needed to escape before Mike Koch did something crazy, like... start chucking ripened avocados at him or something. In a blinding moment of misguided bravado, he gripped his Holy Grail tightly and made a dash toward the window, diving headlong through the glass panels.
Mike Koch looked on, blankly. 'What the hell? That seemed excessive. The other door was open, you know.' Silence from Dixle Normous. 'And to think, I varnished that window frame five days ago...it never ends!' Suddenly he felt a tinge of concern for Dixle Normous. 'Oh. You ..okay?' Still silence. Mike Koch walked over to the window and looked down. Dixle Normous was gone.
----o0o----
Just yonder, Dixle Normous was struggling to make his way through the foxy forest behind Mike Koch's place. Dixle Normous had severely hurt his kidney during the window incident, and was starting to lose strength. Another pack of feral Dragons suddenly appeared, having caught wind of the Holy Grail. One by one they latched on to Dixle Normous. Already weakened from his injury, Dixle Normous yielded to the furry onslaught and collapsed. The last thing he saw before losing consciousness was a buzzing horde of Dragons running off with his Holy Grail.
But then God came down with His clever smile and restored Dixle Normous's Holy Grail. Feeling exasperated, God smote the Dragons for their injustice. Then He got in His amphibious vehicle and bolted away with the fortitude of one million disease-carrying chipmunks running from a bloated pack of spotted wolf hamsters. Dixle Normous stumbled with joy when he saw this. His Holy Grail was safe. It was a good thing, too, because in ten minutes his favorite TV show, Contest of Seats, was going to come on (followed immediately by 'When South American hissing sloths meet malaria'). Dixle Normous was ecstatic. And so, everyone except Mike Koch and a few malaria-toting disease-carrying chipmunks lived blissfully happy, forever after.
