The violent acts of the male of the Purple Plant household reached a head Thursday afternoon, and the authorities removed him from the lives of the watery neighborhood. Wilt Chamberlin and Sir Witherspoon held a tea party to celebrate. Everyone declined their kind offer.
“I don’t really care,” Sir Witherspoon sniffed. “There isn’t enough room in our plant for anyone other than myself and Chamberlin.”
For a week, the calm water was only disturbed by the ferocious nightly feasts and all appeared serene, well as serene as a tank full of cichlids can be. It didn’t last, though. Last night the neighborhood contacted the authorities to voice a concern about the recently liberated Lady of the Purple Plant.
“She tremors continually and shakes her head as if she is trying to clear it,” the Frontosa, Nija Smee, reported.
Neighbors have appealed to the authorities to find out if these symptoms are a result of her recent trauma or if this is something that could affect them all.
Tests are currently being run to ensure that the Lady of the Purple Plant doesn’t have seizures. The authorities have assured the neighborhood that none of them are sick or in danger at this time. Happy with the authorities’ response, a majority of the tank went back to their game of swimming to the top of the tank and then racing back to the bottom. Ninja Smee, however, is keeping a wary eye on the Lady of the Purple Plant and will inform the Bubbly Review of any changes or new pieces of gossip.
