“There is no spoon.”

I read about something interesting recently. You know that song
Happy Birthday? Well it's supposed to be copyrighted and the owners
have been collecting royalties on it for quite some time. (That's
also one reason you don't often hear it sung on TV is so people don't
have to pay for it.)
However recently some people were working on a documentary on the
song and say that those people that have been collecting royalties on
the song don't actually own it and have been collecting false
royalties on a public domain song. So now we got a class action
lawsuit against the Happy Birthday people.
Anyway onto the flash fiction!
Interdimensional Party Time!
One day a ninja-wizard-god held a crazy party inside a miniature
universe between dimensions. He invited all sorts of creatures from
all sorts of worlds for his wild party.
First arrived the fairies. Their fairy dust gave the whole place the
lights of a disco as light bounced off the dust everywhere. The host
and the faeries began dancing among the rays of lights.
Second arrived the dragons. They belched out fire and roared like
boomboxes. The house shook and bounced as the dragons danced with the
fairies and the ninja-wizard-god host of the party.
Magic expanded the house to accommodate the next set of guests. A
horde of goblins flooded the house. Pleasant goblins with big smiles
who sung incredible songs in the most wonderful of voices. Plus, they
brought the food! For themselves and others. Who wouldn't love a bag
of goblin made chips or punch?
Right after the goblins ghosts flew into the house through the
walls. The dragons managed to shake the house with their normal
dancing. But when the ghosts started playing the ethereal instruments
of mist they brought with them the dragons really got into it. Their
dancing got intense and the house almost broke its foundation and
flew into the air as the dragons danced along with everyone else.
The fifth set of guests were probably the only singers that could
compete with the goblins and would serve as their complement as
everyone sung and danced along with the lights from the fairy dust
and the music of the ghosts. These guests were the angels and their
voices blended with the goblins to form the most wonderful, hardcore
choir for the crazy party held by the ninja-wizard-god.
And when the humans arrived it became awkwardly silent because
nobody likes humans.
