Title: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Ray on Sep 23rd, 2003, 10:28am
Here you go, Vikki - one extremely silly drabble...

~*~

The first sign of trouble brewing in the staff room was when Nancy Wilmot discovered that her favourite coffee mug had vanished.

She stood in the middle of the staff room and said, "All right. Own up. Who's had my coffee mug?"



Over to you, ladies!

"For goodness sake, Nancy!" said Kathie Ferrars impatiently,(she was feeling irritable due to having been kept awake most of the night by a grumbling tooth) "It's only a flippin' mug! Use one of the others, and stop moaning!"

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Ray on Sep 23rd, 2003, 11:33am
"But Kathie darling..."

"Don't you 'Kathie darling' me. And there's another thing," continued the irritated Miss Ferrars, whose list of grievances had built up considerably in the wake of her appendix opperation, "don't call me darling. You *know* it gives people the wrong idea and I'm just not your type."

Nancy was in no mood to compromise.  She had had a very difficult session with Upper IVB who seemed to have forgotten everything they had ever learnt about algebra, and had no patience left to deal with what would normally be a minor annoyance.
"Moaning, am I" she snapped "I suppose it's you who's snaffled it?"

"Don't be absurd," Kathie snorted, waving a negigent hand in the direction of her own mug sitting large as life on the table.

"Perhaps..." began Miss Yolland.

"Shut up!" Nancy and Kathie retorted in unison.

The small goblin of discontent giggled madly as he hid under the table clutching Nancy's mug to his chest.

Kathy glowered at Nancy, who glowered back at her.
"I know you have got it Kathy! You never would believe I didn't take that stupid pink pen of yours with the feathers on it!" Nancy raised her voice now.
"Don't you call my pen stupid!" Kathy shouted.
"Give me back my mug. It's my mug and I want it now!" Nancy screamed stamping her foot.

*Not story but interested observations*

When I was on teaching practice in the dim and distant past we were told to always take our own mug in with us in case we caused offence.

In one staff room a member of staff had solved the problem by attaching a large brown luggage label to her mug (on a long piece of string so she could still wash it up) uttering dire warnings to those tempted to use it.

LOL! PGCE students are *still* told to bring their own. I did and everyone else pinched it!

"Just a mug?" Nancy screamed in reply "Just a mug, Do you not understand the sentimental value of that mug Kathy, I have used it since I became a teacher and I WANT IT BACK!!"
At this point Nancy became hysterical and began screaming at all the other mistresses present in the staffroom. Unfortunately for Nancy, Matey had decided she needed a nice cup of coffee and entered the staffroom right in the middle of Nancy's screaming fit.
"What on earth is happening in here?" Matey began "What is the meaning of all this noise Nancy, and you Kathy you should be ashamed of yourselves"
"Kathy has stolen my mug..." Nancy began but she got no further.

Nancy stood in shock looking at Frau Mieders who had risen quietly from her seat, walked over and slapped Nancy's face with as much force as she could muster.

Kathie snorted with laughter, which soon changed to a howl of pain as Frau Mieders obligingly sslapped her too.

Nancy had by now recovered from this sudden onslaught and she returned the blow with interest, un fortunately Matey had suddenly steeped forward and she felt the full force of Nancy's temper

Post by KB on Sep 23rd, 2003, 11:10pm
Being a small woman, as Matey had been described in most of the books, the blow sent her off her feet and crashing to the floor.

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Vikki on Sep 23rd, 2003, 11:40pm
She landed on the goblin of discontent, causing him to lose his grip on Nancy's mug, which fell to the floor with a crash, and smashed into fifty pieces.

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Rachel on Sep 23rd, 2003, 11:44pm
However, by a trick of the light, to Nancy's eyes it appeared that her mug had flown out from Matey's apron and THEN smashed into smithereens.

"You evil old hag!" she shrieked at Matey, before leaping onto the still prostrate woman and battering at her with her fists.

"Speaking of hags. . . " muttered Miss Yolland as the staff room door opened and Joey Maynard breezed into the melee.

Joey gasped with shock at the sight of Nancy Wilmot straddling Matey- Nancy had had experience of dealing with people in this fashion and her size made her effective- and shaking her violently.
All Joey could gather was that NAncy was upset about something to do with mugs.
"Nancy!" Jo exclaimed. "Surely you aren't accusing Matey of giving you that mugging you had the other night on your way back from Millies!"

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Rachel on Sep 24th, 2003, 9:24am
With a snarl Nancy turned to face Joey. "And what would YOU know about THAT? I hadn't told a soul!"

With a bounding leap, Nancy had Joey by the throat. "IT was you wasn't it, you evil old cow"

The rest of the staff gazed on, not so much in shock, more, enjoying the sight of Joey Maynard slowly turning blue and making the odd choking noise.

Suddenly, as if by magic Mary-Lou Trelawney appeared from beneath the floor (she had really been trying out a new digging instrument and got lost.) 'Ladies! Ladies! Listen to me - i'm Mary-Lou! LISTEN!' she screamed although no body payed any attention to her despite the whole that she had created in the ground.

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by NickiL on Sep 24th, 2003, 4:41pm
Everyone was too busy staring at Nancy and Joey and wondering who would win the fight. With a gasp, her slender pointed face turning purple with effort, Joey gave an almighty heave, and both she and Nancy vanished sideways into the hole that Mary-Lou had created. A few pieces of the mug slithered in after them...

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Lisa_T on Sep 24th, 2003, 11:13pm
The hole closed up after them in best
HP style. Kathie dusted her hands off.
"There!" she said. "I knew that'd sort them. Rosalind, can you get that mug of Nancy's out from the back of the art cupboard? I hid it in there yesterday."

"Oh yes? YOU hid it did you? And who gave you any right to go meddling in the art cupboards young woman" asked Rosalind, beside herself with anger over the tampering of her private domain.

Kathie stared at the other woman. "Oh don't be so stupid! Let's just get that mug out-"

A hand was firmly clamped over Kathies mouth, and OOAOMLs voice said, "Now now ladies! There's no need for any of this!"

Kathie wrenched OOAOs arm away from her face, aimed, and planted a swift kick on OOAOs backside. "You've had that coming for years, you jumped up, self centred, egocentric, and yes I know they both mean the same, curly haired, big mouthed, clodhopping, elephantine, EGOCENTRIC parasite" she screeched, stopping her diatribe purely because she was becoming hoarse through shrieking.

OOAOML looked sadly at Kathie. "Oh dear, I think someone may be a little upset," she began.

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Lisa_T on Sep 25th, 2003, 12:00am
Kathie's face went positively purple with fury and she planted another very firm kick on OOAOML's backside, determined to wipe that supercilious smirk off her face. But Mary-Lou simply maintained her superior expression, and Kathie realised she'd have to rethink.
She stood back and bent over the now prostrate Mary-Lou.
"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said sweetly. "Did I hurt you? My foot must have slipped. Let me help you up, do."
Trustingly, the unwitting Mary-Lou put her hand in the mistress', preparatory to being hoisted up.

Woo hoo! Go Kathie!

With superhuman strength, Kathie flung OOAO through the nearest window. OOAO carved a lovely arc through the air, to the united "Ooohs!" of the mistresses, and came to rest in the remains of the thorny bush Jack and Jo had pulled out from near Freudesheium.

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Vikki on Sep 25th, 2003, 2:45am
OOAO rose from her thorny landing site looking rather reminiscent of a hedgehog!! She had thorns and twigs protruding from every possible orifice and aperture, and was extremely scratched and prickled..........

Title: Re: FCS The Mug Of Doom
Post by Rachel on Sep 25th, 2003, 4:18pm
... however, OOAOs ego was still intact and she gazed thoughtfully at Kathie.

"I think *someone* may need to go for some anger management sessions" OOAO remarked to nobody in particular.

With a peculiar noise, somewhere between the cry of an eight stone woman in labour with a ten pound baby, and an elephant who has just sat upon the wrong end of a rake, Kathie rushed from the room.

OOAO grinned. "I knew she would see sense and take my advice" she commented.

The sound of a window being opened didn't distract OOAO from what looked like becoming a monologue on the perfection of being Mary-Lou and always right about everything, but the water cascading down did. Kathie had gone upstairs, found the nearest hose reel, pointed it at her once pupil and turned it on full blast.

Kathie cackled slightly ("Mwahahahahahahahahahaha") at the sight of OOAO drenched and covered in prickles still. "Maybe now you'll go see that psychologist! Then we can send you back to Oxford and finally see the back of you!"

Before anyone could say a word, the door of the staff room burst open and in poured four outlandishly dressed men. One was short and pudgy. Another was very tall and thin. A third was somewhat average in height and somewhere in between his two colleagues in build. The fourth was a broad-shouldered black man. All four were dressed in tan coloured overalls and all four appeared to be wearing strange back packs with a great many flashing lights.

"Who on earth...?" began Frau Mieders.

"What on earth...!" exclaimed Miss Charlesworth.

"Huhawwah?" said Matey as best she could for the blamange in her mouth.

"Don't worry ladies," said the average height one. "We're the Ghost Busters."

The very tall one gave an exclamation as he pointed at Matey.

"Never mind that," said Tall Man impatiently, and he..

Unfortunately someone must have spilt some petrol on the floor directly underneath where Matey happened to be standing ;). This had the immediate effect of causing Matey's apron and clothing to catch fire as the petrol fumes somehow made the asbestos highly flammable (I suppose asbestos was still in use at the time of the Chalet series!!)

To everyone's surprise and secret terror, Matey herself didn't appear to be in pain or even in flames herself. With an exasperated sigh, Matey stripped off her burning clothes and stepped out of the flames, stark naked.

At this horrific sight, the secret terror turned into blind panic as the teachers, to a woman, screeched and ran full tilt out of the staff room door . . .

~*~ I was trying to kill Matey off but that hasn't happened has it!!!~*~

It was strange that none of the staff or the pupils at the Chalet School had ever wondered why Matey had the amazing ability to see what was going on behind her. Indeed, Matey had used her extra eye many many times to catch Middles in the process of acts such as, hiding tins of food in preparation for midnight feasts, running in corridors and mainly, flicking illegal hand signs at herself and other members of staff. Matey was really upset that the other mistresses had uncovered her secret eye. Leaving them lying in various positions on the floor (she thought that it was strange how Kathy and Nancy were positioned) she ran to her bedroom luckily avoiding contact with any pupils and put a clean set of starched uniform on.

That night the ghost busters decided to have one last attempt at catching Matey's demon. At midnight (00:00hours ??? in Europe?) the ghost busters set off towards the San where Matey had taken to hiding since her secret had been revealed. It was cold, silent and dark in the Chalet School at this time of night. Secretly the ghost busters were scared of the dark but they couldn't really admit such a weakness when they were ghost busters. When the group arrived outside the door leading into the San they could just make out the sound of Matey instructing her demon...

Matey and the demon's sister act ed quickly and dragged the demon off the unfortunate young doctor before he could come to any harm.  "Things are going to get nasty around here," Matey hissed, "Get away while you can."
Reg perceived the wisdom of this advice, and hastened back to the san.  Matey looked at the demons sister speculatively
