Aquatic Attraction - A Little Drabble Do Ya!

[ssclassof56.livejournal.com]

“Mr. Waverly was quite clear about mixing business with pleasure.”

Napoleon stood before the large glass panel, hands in pockets, head tilted, captivated by the extremely pretty girl floating before him, her glittering tail undulating in time to the music. “Hmmm?” he responded distractedly.

Illya turned his back to the glass. “We're here to discover what THRUSH wants with this aquatic attraction.”

The mermaid blew a kiss, and Napoleon smiled in delight. “I can imagine all sorts of possibilities.” He glanced at Illya. “If you don't hurry, they may fill that opening for a tank cleaner.”

“Perish the thought.” As Illya walked away, he added, “You do realize that most fish species reproduce by external fertilization.”

“Killjoy.”

Oh Illya's retort was hysterical. Ahhhh Napoleon and the Weeki Wachee mermaid... there's an image.

Thanks. I love the idea of him there. Might expand this someday.

Oh definitely expand this. Would make a great longer fic.

Illya just had to pour 'water' on Napoleon's dreams.

Serves him right for always making Illya do the grunt work. :

Poor Napoleon. He can't even indulge in a little fantasy ;-)
This definitely needs expanding.

Thanks. First I also need to figure out what the heck THRUSH would want at Weeki Wachee. Ideas welcome.

Oh, love this! Chalk one up for Illya in the repartee war.

Thank you. :)

This was really fun, and I could completely see the way Napoleon was standing, and hear Illya's "Perish the thought." Well done.

Thanks. I had a very clear image of Napoleon watching the mermaid. Glad it came across.
