Forks, Toasters, and Wal Mart

(It was a cold fall morning. After they dragged Kem to school and the others to day care, Mew Two, Lightning, and Blossom sat at home.)

Lightning: I had forgotten how boring this was. It’s so quiet here.

Blossom: I know.

Mew Two: I think it’s nice. No loud, annoying, immature talk show hosts are here to annoy me.

Lightning: What are we going to do?

Mew Two: I don’t know, but it must involve forks, toasters, and Wal Mart. Hence the title.

Blossom: The title works, just wait.

(While the 3 Pokémon discuss potential plans for today, something eerie is happening at the local Wal Mart.)

Guy: Oh no! What is that blue thing that’s descending over Wal Mart!?

Lady: AHHHHHHH! It’s the end of the world!

Employee: Oh no! I’ll be out of a job! No wait, I’ll just go across town. Phew. I was scared for a second.

(A few hours later at Kem’s house, the 3 Pokémon were watching the midday news and frying eggs (and Oddish slices for Blossom).)

News Anchor: In a sadder note, 3 baby ducks drowned in a puddle at the park. Memorial services for the ducks will be held at the puddle tomorrow at noon, if it’s still there. Oh my! This just in! The end of the world is occurring at Wal Mart!

Mew Two: The end of the world!? Wal Mart!? What is he talking about?

News Anchor: A huge blue swirly thingy is descending upon Wal Mart. Everyone says the world is ending. Quickly go make the best of what ever time you have left. THAT is what I’m talking about smart guy.

Mew Two: You didn’t have to be so rude.

News Anchor: Oh be quiet! Stupid cat-

(He falls over. Mew Two looks at the TV and laughs.)

Blossom: Mew Two!

Mew Two: That’ll teach him some respect.

Lightning: Say, what do you think is happening at Wal Mart?

Blossom: After lunch, lets go check it out.

Mew Two: (sarcastically) Hurray. I get to go to Wal Mart.

(They finish cooking lunch. Then they eat it. Then they decide they’re ready to go to Wal Mart.)

Lightning: How are we going to get there? It’s all the way across town.

Mew Two: I can teleport. I’ll see you there.

(He teleports away.)

Lightning: Okay..... What about us?

Blossom: Well, I can fly, so I’ll carry you there.

Lightning: I don’t fly well....

Blossom: Okay.... Lets “borrow” that Fork and Toaster truck in front of Ash’s house then.

(They sneak outside and into the Fork and Toaster truck. Inside they find lots of forks and toasters.)

Blossom: Uhhhhhh...... Do you know how to drive?

Lightning: No..... But it looks easy enough. Just sit there and push those things on the floor.

Blossom: Ohhhhh..... I can’t fit in the chair.

Lightning: Pull it out.

Blossom: Okay.

(She pulls out the chair and throws it out the window.)

Blossom: Lets go!

(They start the truck and drive off.)

Lightning: Say, is it safe to have forks and toasters in the same truck?

Blossom: As long as the forks stay out of the toasters and the toasters aren’t on.

(After 10 minutes or so, they get to Wal Mart.)

Lightning: Whoa! Check it out! That’s huge!

Blossom: Word.

Lightning: What do you think it is?

Blossom: I dunno.... But it looks bad.

(She stops the truck. Mew Two teleports to them.)

Mew Two: It’s about time.

Lightning: Sorry. It takes time to steal a truck you know.

Blossom: Any way, do you know what that is, Two?

Mew Two: Yes. It’s a distortion in the fabric of space and time.

Blossom: What!?

Mew Two: Okay. Pretend the sky is a blanket.

Blossom: Okay. Mmmmmm...... Warm.

Mew Two: Now pretend I take a knife and cut the blanket.

Blossom: Then there’d be a hole in it.

Mew Two: Exactly! The fabric of space and time is like a blanket. Something in Wal Mart cut a hole in the blanket.

Lightning: What?

Mew Two: I’m not sure. Very few things are able to do damage to time it’s self.

Blossom: What will happen if it isn’t fixed?

Mew Two: All will die!

(Blossom and Lightning give him a scared look.)

Mew Two: Just kidding! Just Kidding! Time will start going backwards, then all will die!

Blossom: Seriously?

Mew Two: Seriously.

Lightning: How do we fix it?

Mew Two: First we have to find out what caused it. And to do that.... We must go inside!

Blossom: Into Wal Mart!?

Lightning: AHHHHHHHHH!

(They walk up to the Wal Mart.)

Mew Two: Okay. Now, I don’t know what we’ll find in here, but I know that if we stick together, we can come out alive and in one piece.

Blossom: I heard that scary monsters live inside Wal Mart.

Lightning: I hope whoever told you that is wrong.

Blossom: They worked here.

(Lightning gives Blossom a terrified look.)

Mew Two: Come on.

(They go inside Wal Mart.)

Blossom: Whoa! Look at all the crazy stuff!

Lightning: Word.

Mew Two: This is the first time I’ve ever been scared.

(They continue walking through the store. Then, Mew Two spots something.)

Mew Two: That’s it! See the blue light traveling through the hole in the ceiling? That’s it!

(They go to the source of the light.)

Mew Two: A fork stuck in a toaster? That caused all this? No way!

(Sure enough, there’s a fork sticking out of a plugged in toaster an the base of the blue light.)

Blossom: So that’s why you don’t stick forks into toasters.

Lightning: If we pull the plug, will it be fixed?

Mew Two: It’s worth a try.

(He goes over to the plug. As he reaches out to pull the plug, a “Rock” action figure hits him in the head. Then a shelf falls over.)

Blossom: What’s going on!?

Mew Two: I don’t know. Let me just pull the plug.

(He tries to pull it, but it’s glued in.)

Lightning: This is bad.

Mew Two: We have to find a new way to stop it.

Monster: No you don’t!

Blossom and Lightning: AHHHHHHHH! It’s the Wal Mart Monster!

(They stare in horror at the Wal Mart smiley face with an Indiana Jones hat and the body of a bear.)

Mew Two: That’s screwy looking, isn’t it?

Monster: Shut up! And stop trying to foil my plans!

Mew Two: What plan?

Monster: I stuck a fork into a toaster that was on to tear the fabric of space and time so I could run time back to the stone age and rule the world! Bwahahahahahahahahaha! You fools can’t stop me!

Mew Two: Of course we can. We just need to talk for a minute. Huddle!

(They get into a huddle.)

Mew Two: Go out to that Fork and Toaster truck and get all the forks and toasters you can carry, Blossom.

Blossom: Okay!

(She leaves.)

Mew Two: I want you to go find some dish washing liquid, Lightning.

Lightning: Okay.

(He leaves.)

Monster: What are you doing!?

Mew Two: Trying to help you. I sent my friend to go get forks and toasters.

Monster: Really?

Mew Two: Sure!

Monster: Oh. Okay! Go ahead then.

(Blossom comes back with hundreds of forks and 50 toasters. Her and Mew Two set the toasters around the blue light thingy in a circle.)

Mew Two: Go get lots and lots of extension cords and power strips.

Blossom: Kay!

(She leaves.)

Monster: Are you done yet?

Mew Two: Almost.

(Blossom returns again. They plug in all the toasters and stick the forks in them.)

Monster: Okay! Turn them on now!

Mew Two: Just a moment!

(Lightning returns with the dish washing liquid. Mew Two pours it on the forks and toasters,)

Mew Two: Now, I shall activate them.

Lightning: I hope you know what you’re doing.....

(He uses his powers to activate all the toasters at once. The blue pillar of light is attracted to the toasters with soap on them and they all explode. The blue light above Wal Mart is gone.)

Blossom: You did it!

Monster: NOOOOO!!!!

Lightning: Uhhhhh..... What happened?

Mew Two: Well, the dish washing liquid on the other forks and toasters acted like a magnet for the torn space and time material, so they took it all in and the pressure that built up “exploded” the toasters. The pressure escaped into the atmosphere and repaired the hole. Everything is fine now.

Monster: I shall succeed yet!

(He runs off.)

Blossom: That was strange..... How did you know that would work?

Mew Two: Lucky guess. Lets go before they see all the damage we caused.

(They leave the partially destroyed Wal Mart. They go home and turn on the news.)

News Anchor: It seems that the world isn’t going to end after all. The mysterious blue vortex is gone and everyone is okay. The only damage was a huge section of the store is completely destroyed. It appears that some explosions occurred inside. Wal Mart will be closed until further notice. An investigation is being conducted to learn what happened inside, and we will let you know what they tell us.

Mew Two: *Sigh* Foolish humans. They will never understand what truly happened.

Blossom: It looks like we’ll be the unrecognized heroes yet again.

Lightning: They’ll never know what almost happened to them either.

Mew Two: Oh well. I guess that’s life.

(Kem walks in.)

Kem: Hi guys! What did you guys do today? Did you hear about what happened at Wal Mart?

(They give her the “that’s enough” look. I guess they had a rough day.)

Blossom: We saved the world stupid!

(Oh yeah... Well..... Ummmmm..... BYE!)
