“Bring out the charge of the love brigade,
There is spring in the air once again.
Drink to the sound of the song parade,
There is music and love ev'rywhere.
Give a little love to me,
Take a lotta love from me,
I want to share it with you….”

Nathan, Charles, Toki, Murderface, and Skwisgaar sat at gathered at the boardroom table, watching in silent horror the small form that was currently flitting about the room. He was dressed in a Roman-style tunic and sandals, both dyed a bright candy pink. Pink wings crafted of fluffy Marabou stork feathers were attached to his back, and a laurel wreath of golden bay leaves sat upon his head. He was holding a large silver bowl full of pink rose petals, which he was scattering gleefully about the room as he sang.

“Once we were mad we were happy,
We spent all our days holding hands together.
Do you remember my love,
How we danced and played?
In the rain we laid?
We could stay there for ever and ever…”

The pink horror pirouetted out the door in a swirl of rose petals, stork fluff and long red dreads dotted with pink cherry blossoms, leaving only the lingering scent of lavender oil. Charles somehow managed to keep his professional demeanour despite the flower petals in his hair and resting on his shoulders.

“So we’re all in agreement, then?” said Charles, gazing at his petal-festooned companions.

Nathan nodded. “Yeah. New rule. Nobody ever lets Pickles take LSD again.”
