the scarlet queen gave the dirty water a look with a tiny shudder, but then she squared her shoulders with a smile. "all right!" she said then went over to the board and turned to glance at Tumble. "c'mon Stud lets get it moved!"

Tumble looked at the water before shaking slightly. "Can I sit this round out then?" he murmured not wanting to risk getting dirty again as he helped bomba move the tub. "Maybe I can shake the board or try to distract you guys eh?"

the scarlet queen gave her tail a swish and Tumble a wink, "oh that suits Bomba just fine Hun!" she said with a tinkling laugh. carefully they moved the board into position balancing it on the edges of the tub. then the scarlet queen gave her companions a fetchingly woebegone look, "well since other than Teaze I'm the only one who hasn't taken a ducking I guesse I go first!" she said gamely as she climbed on to the board with a shimmy. Bomba's nose gave a cute wrinkle as she started across....

Teazer grinned at Tumble. Since he had mentioned being the one to cause distractions, she waited to see what he would do. Then maybe she'd have a go at it, make Bomba laugh or something.
Too impatient to wait, Oswin sprang forward and yelled, "Bomba! Spider!!!!!"

Bomba had just taken her first few dainty steps when Oswin shouted 'SPIDER!' and being a good sport the shapely scarlet queen froze, only moving enough to cautiously take in her surroundings. though to be honest her reaction was only partly feigned because she found the beastly little things awfully creepy!

Tumble watched this all play out with a smirk on his face,of course he wasn't going to scare her as soon as she started. He was a professional prankster,it was the element of surprise that got people the most,he would wait until it was nice and quiet and bomba felt comfortable to mess with her. But he couldn't surprise people with oswin butting in first thing,the queen had barely moved before oswin yelled out so silently he walked over to owsin and leaned down behind her to whisper. " Hey,ossie that's my job. Don't just be yelling out like that or it messes up my strategy" he poked her while he whispered to make sure she understood. Tumble didn't even realize but that was the first time he called her by another nickname than kit.

Oswin turned and stared at him, about to say something sassy. But then she saw the glint in his eye and recognized a well-trained conspirator. Besides, hadn't he been good at spying earlier? - well, better than Teazer anyway. So she nodded and backed away, waiting to see what he'd do. But she couldn't help tugging on his paw and whispering, "So your strategy is to let her get across and not do anything??"
Teazer giggled softly, watching to see what would happen.

Tumble looked at oswin and just smirked before moving back. He waited awhile and disappeared when no one was paying attention sneaking off to the raptors. Then when all was calm and quiet and bomba perfectly over the tub he gave a sudden loud blow of tugger's bagpipes.

after making sure that there indeed were no spiders the scarlet queen began to once again walk the beam. Bomba was gaining confidence with each step and by the time she reached the boards center she was putting her customary sway into her stride. then came an ear splitting BWAILLLLAAAAAATHONK! Bomba leaped straight up in the air with a shriek bottle-brushed from mane to tail. she missed the board when she came down and landed in the water with a resounding slpash! when she surfaced she shook her mane and sputtered with a giggle, "and I thought Tugger was dangerous with that thing!"

Teazer jumped slightly at the sound of the bagpipes. Quickly figuring out what was going on, however, she recovered in time to see Bomba tumble into the water with a splash! Teazer rolled around on the floor, giggling madly. The sight was too comical to resist.
Oswin, who had never heard the bagpipes actually played, was sure an earthquake or something else terrible was happening. She shrieked and dropped to the floor with her paws over her head.

Tumble smirked as bomba and every one else was surprised "well well " he started as he climbed down and walked over to bomba helping her out the water "Looks like bomba......took a tumble" he said with a smirk holding in a laugh at his self oriented pun. He then walked over to oswin hugging the scared kit "it's okay kit, it was just bad music" he waited for her to calm down before sauntering to sit down

Bomba graciously accepted Tumbles help, and laughed at his pun, "oh not yet Stud, not YET," she purred. then the shapely scarlet queen SHOOK sending water flying in all directions and began to sinously rub herself dry. "well it was a musical instrument at any rate!" she quipped. "was quite...startling though!"

Oswin looked up at Tumble doubtfully. "There's music that sounds like that?" She looked around at the others. "Is that true?"
Realising the kit had actually been somewhat scared, Teazer nodded reassuringly. "Oh, aye, Ossie. Bagpipes, they ain't fer tha faint o' heart. Far's Oi know, Tugger's the on'y one in the 'yard who c'n make anyfing nice-sounding come out o' them." She grinned at Bomba. "Guess they're useful fer our game, though."

the scarlet queen daintily washed a foreleg as she said "and then not as often as He thinks!" then she gave bright laugh, "our Tumbles not the only one who makes music that bad, there's the duffer who's that cat at the pub that hosts old Gussies Club! he's a nice geezer but the odd old duck plays a fiddle and where he's missing toes on the paw that does the fingering the tone sounds soooo off! and with all the screeching and high notes.....ughhhhh!" Bomba said with a fluid shudder.
"so Oswin ready for your turn?"

Now reassured as to the origins of the loud noise, Oswin nodded. Embarrassed that she had been so scared by bagpipes, she was even more eager to prove her skills, bravery, cleverness, etc. She paused briefly to brush off her fur, then bounded over to the tub and jumped up onto the board to begin crossing. "Just you try to knock me off," she boasted.
"Uh-oh," Teazer laughed, looking at Bomba and Tumble. "Sounds loike a challenge ta me! We'll 'ave ta be awful clever if we're to succeed..."
