Double-Header. :Collab: — Description
Marlin exhaled and stepped away from the alley wall as he finished his latest masterpiece. He didn't show it, but he was a little on edge; he hadn't had one of his usual encounters with Katrina in a little while, and he knew he was due for one any day now.
And speak of the devil: a whistle directed the ink mouse's attention to the far end of the alley, where a familiar purple figure was headed right for him at top speed. Not wanting to go down without a struggle this time, Marlin lunged at Katrina and tackled her right at the last second, knocking them both to the ground.
He didn't succeed in saving his own neck, but in the chaos the Headsnatcher accidentally took off her own head as well.
Both headless bodies landed with a thud on the ground, their heads touching down nearby. With a moan, Marlin found his head by touch and picked it up; Katrina did the same.
Both of them kept their eyes closed to minimize the vertigo as they tried to get their heads properly oriented again. After a moment of fiddling, Marlin and Katrina set their heads in place and made subtle adjustments.
"...Kat? My head's not fusing back on."
"Yeah, Marly, neither is mine. What do you think we're doing wrong?"
Still holding themselves together by hand, the panther and mouse opened their eyes to look at one another.
As soon as they saw each other, they burst out laughing. Not only had the two of them grabbed each other's heads by accident, but they'd somehow coordinated their movements so perfectly that neither had noticed the switch!
After they swapped heads and put themselves back together properly, Katrina waved goodbye to Marlin and dashed off. She was going to let him keep his head for the day; that little moment had been worth it.
