Chapter Four, in which the narrator figures a thing or two out.
When last we left the Fish(es) (s)He was looking for a half water half beer, and having to teach a New Jerseyan how to peel potatoes. “first of all”, Taylor mused almost to himself(herself) “you don’t use a shoe.(now to The Manager) Second, and just as important, was that one of mine?” as it turns out, Taylor only wears one shoe at a time, as (s)he locomotes on a skate board and has a shoe on a stick gondola style. The Manager, ashamed to admit that yes, it was in fact, Taylor's shoe, runs. which is very rude, considering that the manager not only had one of Taylor's shoes, but had just used it to beat the bartender over the head, rendering him unconscious, and thus incapable of serving Taylor a half and half. Taylor, who at this point has had enough of this nonsense, leaves and tries to attempt to rejoin her comrades Ms. Moose and senor Canada. This proves more difficult than originally anticipated, because, as those of you who have read the previous chapter will know, Senor Canada and Ms Moose are busy trying to fight off a dude in a moose costume who has very little to do with the story. Taylor goes off in search of Senor Canada, trying to remember the locations of all the country friendly bars in the city. The only one that comes to mind is a bad honky tonk just the other side of the county line. Taylor the Fish realizes that this a really far way away to travel on a skate board. Suddenly, and without forethought from the narrator, The original Ms Moose comes flying through the wall. Taylor the Fish is all sorts of confused, and realizes that Bar #1 was on the county line, and was right next door the the aforementioned honky tonk. Following Ms Moose back into the fracas, Taylor realizes that (s)he does in fact, only exist in the mind of a delusional 20 year old suffering from sleep deprivation. during the meta moment, the narrator uses the resulting confusion to catch The Boy Taylor trying to switch places with Girl Taylor, who is having Emo Kid Levels of confusion and existential angst. Indulge if you will the narrator, who needs to take a moment to straighten out his creation.
Narrator:Hey!
Taylor: holy crap, what did you do to My sister?
Narrator: she is having a moment of existential angst. I'll edit it out on one condition.
Taylor: ANYTHING!!! just make her happy again
Narrator:Quit switching places. I'm tired of having to write this story gender neutral.
Taylor:OK. But we Both get to be in the story from here on out.
Narrator:Deal. Your new name is now Geoffrey.
Geoffrey(formerly Taylor):OK. You win. Now how are you going to fix my sister?
Narrator: simple. watch this.[the following has been submitted in red pen, which is used to denote a change which supersedes the indicated sentence(s)-ED]
Following Ms Moose back into the Fracas, Taylor realizes that her abuse of the narrator has been petty and small, and seeks to make it right. She calls her brother and says "Taylor, this needs to stop." Boy Taylor says "I know. From Here on out, my name is Geoffrey". To which Taylor replied, "Good Name Geoff. Now, let's go kick some zombie butt."[end revision-ED] Geoffrey replied, Wait! we can't. The Manager has our Butt Kicking shoe"(diminished chord)
OH No! What will happen to our intrepid travelers? after all this work getting back together? what will happen? and will Ms Moose Ever get a drink?
We might find out in chapter 5, we might not. Stay Tuned.
