Chapter 42 - Episode 5/Chapter 42: Gettin at You!

Oliver was still having zero luck with those damn deer, crouched beside a bush, he mumbles to himself.

"Damn deer…what is the point of putting us through all this trouble? Wait til I get my hands around one of their little necks! I shall snap it like a twig!"

Behind him, Andrew, Teenie and Redalia jump out of the mining cart.

"Alright, where's Oliver?" Andrew says. Teenie points to the bushes nearby.

"There he is! In the bushes!"

Andrew and the rest appear next to Oliver who hardly startles.

"Still no luck with these damn deer, huh?" Andrew asks.

"I'm afraid not," Oliver replies. "And where have you been? Where's that manager? We've been here for entirely too long!"

"Couldn't find a manager, but I got someone who may speak their fuckin language. Oh, and we found those witches— erh, the managers who own the place. We beat the shit out of them." Andrew says.

"Shh!" Oliver shushes as he spots a deer. "Look! Get the net ready!"

"I don't have a net?!" Andrew reminds.

"You're right, wouldn't do us any good anyway. We'll have to try to lure them over here somehow. Let's see, what do deers like?"

"How the hell should I know?" Andrew says.

"Well, they certainly don't like what's in your pants, so that's off the table."

"Hah! That's so freakin funny, I'm laughing with a straight face!" Andrew shoots back.

"That's it!" Oliver snaps his fingers. "Deers probably like it when you make them laugh!"

"I never heard of no laughing deer." Andrew says.

"Oh yes, with the right mouthpiece and the right jokes with the right timing, it's possible to make a deer laugh," Oliver explains.

"That's not going to work." Redalia cuts into the conversation suddenly.

"Who the hell are you?" Oliver snaps, "Are you the manager?"

"No, that's Red Riding Hood- or, Redalia," Andrew explains. "She helped us get around the place looking for the witches— I mean, the managers."

"And I think I know what the problem is," Redalia says.

"Well spit it out, hood rat!" Oliver says rudely.

"Deers are known to be skittish about everything, especially men they think will try to get at them," Redalia explains, "Which is exactly what they think you two are here for. That's why they're running away. Because you guys aren't up to their standards or their tastes, and it's usually because of the size of your…you know, worm."

"Why the fuck would I want to get at a deer?" Andrew asked in astoundment.

"Furthermore, what the hell does the size of our worms have anything to do with anything?" Oliver says. "We are here to get unloaded, get the damn bills signed, and LEAVE!"

"I guess they're cautious because of truckers in the past…" Red says with a shrug.

'Red, you gotta talk some sense into them," Andrew says. "We're not like those other truckers! We need just need to get the bills signed!"

"Alright, let me give it a shot," Red walks out into the open. "Yoo hoo! Magic Deer! It's me! Red Riding Hood! Please, I need you to listen to me!"

The deer start to emerge from their hiding places at the sound of Redalia's familiar voice, eager to hear what she has to say.

"These particular truckers are only here to deliver the load that was ordered by the company," Redalia explains. "They now need to have the bills signed so they can leave and get paid for their hard work getting it here safely and on time."

The deer gather in the open grassland around Redalia who continues her speech.

"They're not here to try to win your heart, or get your phone number, or buy you a drink, or ask you out on a date, trust me. I assure you, my friends here are only trying to do their jobs."

Andrew, Oliver and Teenie join Red in the open and the deer didn't run off at the sight of them but they are still cautious.

"It's alright, they're not trying to get at you, just get the bills signed." Redalia says. A deer walks up to Andrew and Oliver. Oliver hands her the bills to be signed.

"Yes, that's it," Oliver says calmly, "no need to be afraid…"

With a pen in her mouth, the deer signs the paper. When she was done, she takes the bills in her mouth and hands it up to Oliver who snatches it away!

"…or be a sour, four legged bitch!" Oliver snarls. "Damn you all for putting us through all that trouble for nothing! The fuck did you think we were here for?! Sex with a dirty animal!?"

Andrew and Red pull Oliver back who was losing his shit, going off on the deer now that the bills were signed. They pull him towards the exit of the garden.

"Next time, you sign the fucking bills without issue or attitude! I've had it with this nonsense!"

After all four humans disappear out of the garden and the door slams behind them, all the deer erupt into laughter.
