Oh, Yes ... I feel the 'LOVE'.

And still on another note ... 'OUCH!'

I don't suppose Nudge saying "I Farted" would break the tension? NnnnYyyyMaybe. It would be unexpected.

What? It's my first reaction to the line "Test me again, I dare you."
Heh. Reminds me of this particular comic.

Bugs Bunny would also say that sometimes.... and I do believe that Elmer did get to say it at least once.

On other news..... I've heard of hard headed people, but with a dent like that on the wall and that grin on her face, I think Nudge takes the cake :D

When I read what Phix said it sounded like Samuel Jackson (Pulp fiction) for some reason . . .LOL

That grin is practically begging for a *grin* sound effect next to it :P

I agree. She's ticked off major, but knows both that she's been played once more, and that Nudge was right. But she has to do something, to try to reassert herself in front of Nudge.

I do like the honking of the nose option, but I see two other options available, here:

1 - Nudge gets all serious and academic, saying "Nah, once the subject is aware of the test, it invalidates the results," or something to that effect.
2 - Nudge goes "Sure," then extricates herself from the wall, climbs back to the window, and makes a show of being about to jump again. Meanwhile, Phix acts all unconcerned, maybe even verbally scorning Nudge, and basically "calling her bluff"... until Nudge actually does jump out again. It may then take a moment or two for Phix to realize that Nudge actually did it again, and Phix dives to save Nudge again. Comments to the effect of "I can't believe you did that again", and "Well, you told me to do it again, I wouldn't want to disappoint you" follow. Hilarity ensues.
I don't think Phix could actually stay mad, after that second one... exasperated, shaking her head in unbelief at Nudge's crazy antics, but not mad. Who knows, she may even get a laugh out of it.

Looks frantically around, expecting to see somewhat broken Trickster on rocks below.

Not even a damp spot.

Hears hysterical laughter. Looks around.

Nudge is hanging from a ledge just below the window.

"Gotcha!"

Phix wheels in mid-air, uses wingtip to brush Nudge loose.

Grabs Nudge about three inches shy of SPLAT Event...

This could go on for a while.

And hope Phix lets her finish the sentence.
Nah, she'll peel out of there like a freshly baked Creepy-Crawler toy.

I just realised something.

"Test me again. I. Dare. You."

Appropriate, considering the date.....

Never Again.

Didn't even catch that.

Indeed. Can't help but wonder whether that was planned a while back, a last minute thing or a mere coincidence...
