Episode 9: Somewhat Cliche Episode
Loof walked up to a poster. The poster said "RACE TODAY AT 7:00, WINNER GETS GREEN BEANS!"
"You don't have to yell," said Loof.
"YEAH I DO!" yelled Stinky, who had taken a vow of yelling. "I TOOK A VOW OF YELLING!"
"Darn," said Loof. "Hey, how about we enter this race? Find Qookie and Peegue and get them to enter too. That way, we can get green beans so we can finally leave here!" Loof knew the others wanted rocket fuel too, but personally, he preferred green beans. Why extend the time on this planet looking for rocket fuel when they could just leave in their rocket?
"OKAY!" yelled Stinky.
* * * * *
Our brave heroes arrived at the Creepy Keep. Meanwhile, four less-brave heroes were meeting at a race track on a foreign planet.
"Oh good, you're here," said the Announcer. "That means I can go the trading card tournament everyone else is at. One of you guys will have to announcer."
The characters of our story looked at each other in confusion. Then, simultaneously, Stinky, Loof, Qookie, and Pegue yelled.
"NOT IT!"
Stinky blinked. Who was this mysterious fifth member of their crew? Then he figured it wasn't important, and turned to face Peegue.
"That means YOU have to be the announcer," he said to Peegue.
Later, Stinky, Loof, Qookie, and Pegue prepared to go on Peegue's command. They were prepared to do that. However, Peegue wasn't giving any commands. Loof was getting impatient. HE HAD TO BE THE ONE TO WIN THE GREEN BEANS! Abruptly, an angel appeared on Loof's... elbow.
"Do not go until Peegue says so," said the angel.
Then, the devil appeared on Loof's elbow. This scared Loof so much that Loof started running down the racetrack, leaving the angel and devil behind, where they immediately died of two unrelated causes.
Loof looked behind him. Stinky and Qookie were still waiting. Loof feared for the lives of Stinky and Qookie. He saw that the devil had killed the angel, and was now playing dead himself, possibly so he could sneak attack Qookie.
"LOOK OUT, QOOKIE!" Loof yelled.
* * * * *
"So, uh, what happened to Loof?" Qookie asked.
"I HAVE NO IDEA!" Stinky yelled.
"Maybe one of us should try to catch up with him so we can ask him what's wrong."
"NAH! THAT'S TOO MUCH WORK! BESIDES, IT IS MUCH MORE FUN TO LOOK AT THESE RANDOM DEAD DEITIES!"
"Wait, what?"
"I DON'T KNOW! MAYBE I WAS HAVING THE SAME HALLUCINATION AS LOOF BRIEFLY!"
Qookie sighed. She didn't know why she put up with the others sometimes. Sometimes, she wondered if it would have been better to stay in her cottage and live a peaceful life.
* * * * *
Loof saw a fork in the road. However, he wasn't going to stop to pick it up. He wasn't anti-litter enough to be killed. So, he just kept on going. Suddenly, he felt pain in his back. Someone was stabbing him with a fork! Loof realized it must be the devil.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" cried Loof in despair, dropping to his knees as Pegue ran past him with a fork.
* * * * *
Pegue continued until he found himself at an intersection. There was a sign with two arrows indicating that one way was a shortcut, and the other way was a swamp. Being the devious Stinker he was, Pegue turned the sign around. Now Loof would have to go past the sign and turn around to find out which way was which. Pegue would win for sure!
* * * * *
"AUTUMN WINDS!!!" Stinky yelled.
"Stinky!" Qookie complained. "Stop distracting me from my book!"
"I WAS JUST READING THE TITLE OUT LOUD!" explained Stinky.
Qookie gave in and didn't argue. After all, arguing would just keep her away from the fascinating story longer. After several moments, she still hadn't been interrupted by Stinky. Maybe never arguing was all she needed for peace. Maybe if she just went with the flow, she could-
"IN THIS TALE OF EPICNESS, MEET YOUNG FIRMON, A PRINCE FROM FIFTEENTH CENTURY RAINBOW ISLAND!"
* * * * *
Pegue had the finish line in his sight. Soon, the green beans would finally be his! Suddenly, Loof was running in front of Pegue. Pegue stopped.
"Hey," Pegue said, "how did you get in front of me?"
Loof stopped. "Well you see," Loof explained, "the metaphorical representation of my need to be known as legitimately talented came and told me to run to the finish line instead of taking a bus. Then the representation of my deep dark inner greed came and freaked me out, so I took shelter from him on a bus. And my hopes and dreams were like 'no dude no' so I knocked them over I think and then the subconcscious form of that one time I became a bus driver was driving the bus, and then after that-"
"Never mind," interrupted Pegue. "I already crossed the finish line while you were talking anyway."
"OH NO!" said Loof.
"But it's true!" Pegue said with delight. "THE GREEN BEANS ARE NOW MINE!!! Wait, where are they? Where's the announcer?"
"You mean Peegue?" asked Loof. "He's over at the start line. I don't think he officially started the race yet. You can go get him."
* * * * *
"CHAPTER THREE!!!" yelled Stinky. Qookie cried. Then Loof and Pegue walked up.
"Hey, Peegue," said Loof, "you know you were supposed to actually be... ANNOUNCING THINGS... as announcer, right?"
"Oh," said Peegue.
"WELL ANYWAY," yelled Pegue. "I WON! GIMME THE GREEN BEANS!"
"WAIT," yelled Stinky. "I THINK THE PREVIOUS ANNOUNCER BEFORE PEEGUE HAD THE GREEN BEANS! HE TOOK THEM WITH HIM TO THE TRADING CARD TOURNAMENT!"
"My ears..." Qookie moaned. "Hey, wait a minute. Who is that guy anyway? Earlier, it was just me, you, Stinky, and Peegue."
"ASSUMING YOU'RE TALKING TO ME..." Stinky yelled. "I HAVE NO IDEA! HE RANDOMLY SHOWED UP RIGHT BEFORE THE ANNOUNCER LEFT! I WAS CONFUSED ABOUT WHO HE WAS! IT'S LIKE HE'S AN INFILTRATOR OR SOMETHING!"
Pegue knew he had been found out. So Pegue ran away, hoping to get in and out of the trading card tournament before anyone could stop him... from doing what he was going to do.
DUN DUN DUN! TO BE CONTINUED!
