The news of the festivities being hosted by Firefox University had reached a most unlikely set of ears. Big, pointed ears, in fact. They were attached to a strange creature that was currently being held prisoner in a dark and gloomy place. However, the word 'prisoner' for Puck meant something quite different than it did for other individuals. It meant that when his ears twitched and heard of a party, he would be quickly on his way to enjoy himself.
Thus a parrot flew over the gates to Firefox and into the large feasting hall that housed the main dance. The bird was relatively not noticed by the people of Firefox, as they were all busy enjoying themselves and odd creatures flying about were not that strange of an occurrence. Naturally, this made a creature like the Puck unhappy. He decided something needed to be done about it.
The parrot let out a sqawk as it flew out of the hall and landing above the doorway leading into the hall, transforming into an elf-like creature with a mischevious grin on his face and wearing clothes suited for a jester.
"Ho, ho, ho! Time to party," said Puck, snapping his fingers and causing water balloons to appear in each hand. "People must always shower before attending a party. It's what's right."
He glanced around for victims, and saw a couple walking towards the dance, holding hands. With a cackle he threw the water balloons, which magically hit their targets right ontop of the head. As the couple shrieked in anger and annoyance, Puck jumped off of the doorway and landed on the floor, clapping his hands together joyfully. The drenched couple turned at him and glared, pulling out their wet wands and aiming them at Puck.
"Oh, now, now.... Play nice," he said, snapping his fingers again and causing flowers to sprout on their wands. "Be sure to keep those well-watered!"
The bewildered, soaking couple glanced at each other with confused looks, each trying to ask the other if they knew what this odd little fellow was. By the time they turned again to look at the wood sprite, he had already turned the corner and started his way down a hallway to cause some more trouble, various puddles and banana peels littering the floor to catch unsuspecting party patrons off-guard.
The spirit began to sing as he danced around the university, spreading mischief.
"From Oberon in Fairy Land,
Who is king of ghosts and shadows there,
Mad Robin I, at his command,
Was sent to have some fun 'round here.
Thus I'll relax and stay a while,
Spreading mischief, having fun,
Teachers and students I shall beguile,
And then away I'll once more run.
So prepare thyself, oh noble school,
For Robin Goodfellow is on the go!
He's here to make this party a jewel
Of frivolous merriment! Ho, ho, ho!"
Robin Goodfellow had come to play at Firefox. Oh, what a fun time was to be had....
