The Gang Celebrate Dan Aykroyd’s Birthday.

-----------------------------

Everyone’s favorite duo known as Corey and Oats went on many adventures together with their friends including with Piff the pufferfish and recently Peanut had begun another major sleepover adventure with the gang, and now another special occasion was about to take place. It was July 1st, 2026 which meant two very important things, the first being that it was Canada Day and the second was that it was Dan Aykroyd’s birthday.  Mel loved Dan and his movies and she had been part of the Dan Aykroyd fandom since 2020 and she even went on numerous Aykroyd themed adventures.

This included going into the surreal universe known as the ‘Dum Dum’ universe, the dum dum universe was a were-aykroyd universe in an alternate world, basically in this universe Nathan (her friend) was cursed to turn into a dum dum were-aykroyd every night, well he didn’t initially start as a dum dum,  in fact his adventure was just supposed to be just him turning into Dan every night and gaining supernatural powers and going on Aykroydian adventures with his ‘siblings’ who were also Aykroyd characters but more twists and turns and changes to the plot made things complicated.

And the ‘dum dum’ storyarc officially kicked off thanks to the help of one cruel ‘master’, a master being an owner or sort of parent to a dum dum were-aykroyd,  often with the ability to create more dum dums and sometimes with the ability to control afflicted dum dums,  who cast a horrible spell known as a nightmare spell, the nightmare spell is a spell that makes it look like the victim is having an ideal dream come to life at first in the form of something they want only for the user to corrupt them by making them scary,  or in the case of were-aykroyds, making them dream of being a dum dum.

Nathan remembered how horrifying this ordeal was for him to experience,  going from having the best time of his life at a Screaming Banshees concert to bloating out and turning into a rampaging, hungry were-aykroyd who was bigger than normal while the master went from being supposedly nice to making fun of him. Luckily though he was saved thanks to Corey and Oats and it was a nightmare.  And then the dum dum plague started, it started with his friends and loved ones being infected and dumifying up, and it just got worse and worse.

It was very difficult for him to find a master, when he thought he had a master who was going to stay by his side,  that master too became infected and it became hard for him, then he encountered a dum dum spirit and of course the major antagonist of this little ‘dum dum’ mini-series,  ‘Dumius’,  Dumius was a dum dum were-aykroyd master who wanted Nathan to be his.  Initially Nathan did agree to become a dum dum if he got to remain male (he had hopes of becoming a father) and if he got to remain human during the day.

However due to that dum dum spirit and Dumius having a change in plans, the deal got shifted and hey…because Dumius was lonely, he made it so that Nathan now had to be a female were-aykroyd dum dum every night instead.  Nathan did not agree to it nor did he like it, every night in that universe he’d turn into Danielle the dum dum were-aykroyd and go on eating rampages and causing trouble. Danielle herself didn’t mean to act this way, she was a complex creature, yes she was obsessed with cows and milk jokes and she was silly and goofy, but she was actually quite smart and crafty and gifted at making complex plans and also was shown to actually have a heart at times, when not acting as a villain and part of the Defillers, she was actually a sympathetic character, she didn’t mean to cause trouble.

That day after breakfast, Corey and Oats and the gang including Peanut and Piff all headed into the lounge and decided it would be a good idea to use the magic from Mel’s spellbook to have an Aykroydian adventure and to explore the Aykroyd verse.  Piff pulled out the spellbook as well as a book called The Book Of Aykroydian Lore.  This book was the tome that was about everything Aykroydian and even explained the lore of the Aykroyd-verse.

Mel used a magic spell from the book to conjure up a special portal,  and they all jumped through the portal and they arrived in a version of their home that was in the Aykroyd-verse, Piff and Peanut and Tangie looked around and they saw Nathan, Nathan was hanging out with several of his siblings who were all Dan Aykroyd characters.  There was Elwood Blues, Grocer, the passenger from the Twilight Zone movie, Bob from Susan’s Plan, Sgt Tree, Clifford Skridlow, Darren ‘Mother’ Roscow,  Austin Milbarge, to name a few of them.

‘Hi Nathan.’  ‘Hi Mel. I see you’ve brought your friends here.’  ‘Yeah I have,  we’re here to celebrate Dan Aykroyd’s birthday and I thought what better way to do that then use a spell to take us to the Aykroyd-verse.’  Piff looked around in amazement, he had only been aware of the Aykroyd-verse prior to the dum dum universe and the ‘Dum dum saga’ that seemed to be ongoing and he had started joining in those adventures last year.

Another portal materialized in the wall as Dan Aykroyd stepped out along with Stanley the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man.  ‘Hi Dan, happy birthday.’  ‘Aaaaw, you guys remembered.’  ‘No problem Dan, you’re my owner’s hero,  it would be heartless of us to forget.’  Mel gave him a big hug as she thanked him for inspiring her and for being supportive of Nathan.

They all had lunch before starting their Aykroydian adventure, as they walked through the corridor of their home and saw all sorts of supernatural creatures including Were-Aykroyds, and they even saw some dum dums.   Piff knew that Jill found dum dum were-aykroyds and their biology to be rather weird but he was surprised when he saw the dum dum were-aykroyds that were playing together, some were even playing video games and making cakes, he could not believe the contrast.

He knew that sometimes dum dum were-aykroyds acted food obsessed and goofy and chaotic, and he knew that under the influence of a ‘master’ they tended to act like that, but they were actually quite intelligent, Danielle materialized over where Aiyido the beholder was sitting, shocking him. ‘Hey, what the greegle? Danielle?’  ‘Hi guys, hi Aiyido.’  Piff looked over at Danielle. ‘My, what a surprise. What brings you here Danielle?’  ‘Yeah usually when you turn up, it’s Nathan as you, and we have to stop you.’

‘I know but as you can see Nathan hasn’t turned into me for a while. I thought i’d just speak to you guys as me and not as the rampaging monster you know me as.’  ‘I don’t believe you, most of the time you are a rampaging eating monster.’  ‘I know I know i’m a very bad dum dum but I don’t mean to.  My master does this to me. I wish I could leave his control but I cannot, that deal Nathan made, means he’s permanently stuck turning into me every night in the dum dum universe.’

‘So you don’t mean to cause trouble?’ ‘Of course not. I know that Nathan finds being me to be very odd and alienating, not just because he’s stuck as a dum dum each night, but the fact well..i’m a female dum dum and he has never had that happen to him before.’  Danielle explained the odd and unusual biology of her species, explaining how instead of ‘aging’ dum dum were-aykroyds went through a bodily maturation mutation process where they grow bigger and bigger.

She also explained that female were-aykroyds develop some sort of ‘motherly’ aspect when in fully matured mutation stage which included feelings and desires of wanting to be a parent and producing milk…’Everyone thinks it’s gross that I do this, but it’s my species and it’s my body, all the moo moo humor is just me making cow jokes. I like cows, they’re very much like me, smarter than they look.’  ‘Yeah, I can see that.’  ‘And that recent dum dum adventure proved that too.’  ‘Yeah,  the dum dum mommy is the best.  She’s so fun.’

Danielle mentioned that her species needs to keep eating to prevent themselves from going into dum dum mode which was basically akin to being a zombie,  and how she was unhappy because she had to do it.  ‘Being a dum dum can be hard for me sometimes, while I am happy with my body and who I am,  I cannot control myself sometimes, and that makes me unhappy, and when I am unhappy, I eat because I am unhappy.’

Just then a scottish accent voice responded…’Finally someone who gets me!’,  Mel looked around as she saw the character Fat Bastard (from the Austin Powers franchise) who was looking at Danielle. ‘Danielle, Fat Bastard. Fat Bastard, this is Danielle.’  ‘Much like you, i’m a being of a larger build that is often frowned upon in a society that favors looks over personality, my species cannot help but be like that.’  Danielle responded.

Mel could definitely tell that Danielle and Fat Bastard had the potential of becoming friends, which was exactly what happened.  Dan Aykroyd looked at Danielle…’See? Even though you’re not like other were-aykroyds, doesn’t mean you aren’t loved.’  ‘Thank you, Dan.’

The gang all explored some more as Mel explained to Dan that the gang had recently encountered the ‘Dream Dum Dum Mother’ who was a new antagonist introduced into the dum dum universe saga,  and of course the Dum Dum mother had appeared in a previous Corey and Oats adventure (i.e ‘Enter the Dream Mother Dum Dum’).   Dan knew of the lore of the Aykroyd-verse because he was the one who originally appeared to Nathan in a vision and gave him his Were-Aykroyd powers in that universe.

This was followed by some snacks and afternoon tea followed by an extended learning session about Aykroydian lore and a dum dum education session,  which was followed by one last fun activity in the form of a celebration of Dan Aykroyd and his movies, to which everyone was in attendance.

After the celebration was finished they all headed towards the exit portal and said goodbye to Dan Aykroyd and to the others but not before Dan gave her a special way to summon him in case she needed help,  and when they jumped through the exit portal they all arrived back in time for dinner at their home in Nile Road.

Piff made some delicious food for dinner and after dinner Mel emailed Jill about their adventure as Piff and Tangie took Peanut on a fishing trip and they caught a lot of fish, followed by a game session and a karaoke session as the celebration picked up again and they thought about their favorite Dan Aykroyd movies.

Which was followed by Piff and Tangie doing a relaxation circle with Peanut which consisted of bathbomb sniffing,  ASMR sessions,  ‘imagination’ sessions,  fish themed arts and crafts and ‘guess the bathbomb scent’,  as Corey put on his bat pajamas and Oats put on a princess nightgown.

They all brushed their teeth as Piff activated the closedown sequence featuring the animated fish couple and a pufferfish resembling Peanut in the style of Queen Millenia, depicting the fish couple and the pufferfish floating into a magical underwater dream bedroom with fish themed squishmallows and underwater decor as the colors of the background were painted in night-time colors and their clothes morphed into night-clothes as they floated into the bed that was waiting for the and the goodnight message appeared on screen.

Piff smiled as he floated into bed and kissed Tangie and he hugged Peanut and gave the goodnight speech which was: ‘We certainly had quite a magical Aykroyd themed day today and it is good that Peanut got to join in as part of the second day of his fourth sleepover mini series of adventures,  I sure had fun. And I hope you all did too, goodnight.’

Anglo turned off the light as they all drifted off to sleep and had sweet dreams including Piff, and now their adventure had come to an end but even though they had left the Aykroydverse, Mel knew Dan would ALWAYS be there for her and for all the gang,  and Danielle had even found herself a friend in the form of Fat Bastard, but even though their adventure had come to an end, it didn’t mean the adventures were over at all,  more are coming up so stay tuned.
