NiteRose and Puckypoo were sitting in their lab when
the first calls came in.
"
He leaks." the voice on the other end of the phone complained, "I
can't even take him out in public - and who's gonna pay for cleaning my
carpet?"
"
Have you tried cutting down his fluid intake?" NiteRose asked.
"
He's a vampire!" the caller said in an aggitated voice. "What
am I supposed to do, suggest he switch to hamburger?"
"
Good luck with that plan," Puckypoo replied, grinning wickedly.
Another caller complained, "I just stood him in the corner and when
I turned back around, I saw the puddle. It was so embarassing."
"
Have you tried superglue and a patch kit?" NiteRose asked.
"
I think its gonna take more than a patch kit to fix this one," Puckypoo
replied. "Maybe we need to issue a recall."
"
Ok, ok. If you think it will help. But there's nothing wrong with mine!
He doesn't leak," NiteRose said. Puckypoo got up to answer a knock
at the door. An irritated NA member entered the room, dragging her clone
behind her. "I want a new one," she wailed, "this one leaks!!"
NiteRose and Puckypoo looked at each other. "Bring it in. We'll have
a look at it," they said in unison.
Placing the clone on an table, Puckypoo and NiteRose began to examine it
closely.
"What's this?!" Puckypoo asked, looking up from her magnifying glass. "Bite
marks?"
"
I...uh...it was an accident. I didn't mean to...I...uh...got carried away," the
owner said, her face reddening.
"
I'm sorry." NiteRose informed her, "we aren't responsible for damage
done during a feeding frenzy. Leave it here, we'll see what we can do."
Puckypoo put her arm around the blushing owner and led her to the door. "Don't
worry," she whispered, "we won't tell anyone." Closing the door,
she walked back across the room.
Suddenly a rush of wind swept the room. Turning toward the sound, both women
found themselves staring up into a pair of blue eyes. It was HIM!
"
Problems ladies?" he asked, a wicked smile crossing his lips.
"
Well, uh, we, um," NiteRose stammered.
Puckypoo, sensing the danger they were in, stepped toward Nunkies and asked," Have
you seen the latest fantasies? I can get you a copy, if you like."
"
More?" he asked, his eyes sparkling with interest. "Such fertile imaginations
these mortal females have."
"
Yes, I have them on my computer. I'll print them out for you." Puckypoo
hurried over to her computer, which was still inside the cloning machine. "Darn,
I forgot - it's not working. My cat spilled Fresca all over it."
"I know a bit about computers, perhaps I can help," he said, unable
to resist the chance to read what they had written about him. Stepping into the
machine, he began to tinker with the computer.
Puckypoo, seeing her opportunity, slammed the door shut behind Nunkies and threw
the switch, trapping him inside.
NiteRose activated the machine, adding some chemicals, two tubes of superglue,
a large patch kit and a copy of the NA Fantasy manual. Once again the machine
grinds, shakes, and shudders!!! Looking at each other, NiteRose and Puckypoo
cross their fingers and wait. An hour later, the machine opens and out steps
the New and Improved clones.
NiteRose quickly took hold of one by the hand and bit him. No leaks. "We've
done it!" she shouted.
Puckypoo and NiteRose dance around the room celebrating, unaware of the blue
eyes watching them. Smiling , he walks to the window and flies off into the night.
The next night at the Jeweled Peach, NiteRose and Puckypoo give the NA members
their new, improved, leak-proof Nunkies Clones. Everyone wanders off to celebrate
with their copy of Nunkies.
NiteRose looked at Puckypoo with a worried expression on her face. "What
do we do with the old ones?" she asked.
