The Lonely Banana

Aagh. Why does it seem that almost all my inspiration comes from food? Yes they're cute... but bananas and popcorn? I wanted to write one about a watermelon going steady with a starfruit.

Once upon a time, there lived a bunch of bananas in the bananahouse. The banana bunch was made up of five members: grandpa banana, mama banana, papa banana, rotten banana and runty banana. Grandma banana had been eaten by a hungry dog.

At the same time, there lived the Noodle family in the noodlehouse. They were Dongfen, Guotiao, Meepok, Miantiao and Meetaibak. Dongfen and Guotiao had broken tradition and married because they fell in love. (Actually, this does nothing much to the story and so you can forget about it.) They decided to name their off-noodles (you know offspring?) with names beginning with 'M' to carry on the legacy of the (in)famous 4MuahChee'04 of RVHS.

There was also the Nut family and they lived in the nuthouse. There was a Cashewnut, a Macadiamanut, Roastednut, and Nuttynut. Groundnut not counted.

Groundnut had been disowned after he baceme so very obsessed with Voldemort of Harry Potter fame, and had done things to make himself as awful as Voldemort did. He invented the peanut crusher and peanut butter, for one. And not only did he make things difficult for all the nuts in the world, Groundnut called leigions of weirdos to be loyal to him and be his armies. Those monsters were called Housewives. The Housewives somehow could foodnap any and every kind of food they want to, and torture the food to death by slicing and dicing them up, finally eating them or cooking them.

One day, the Housewives blew down the wall of the bananahouse and grabbed the bunch of bananas. They ignored the pathetic screams and cries of the bananas and brought them to the market to be sold to other less proficient housewives. However as runty banana was, as his name suggests, very small, he was overlooked and left in his room, unhurt and as dumb as before. From then on, grandpa banana, mama banana, papa banana and rotten banana were MIA, and runty banana was known as The Banana Who Lived. Regrettably, bananas were not very creative.

The next day, Hurricane Wantonmee struck. Guotiao, Meepok and Miantiao were blown away and it was believed they landed in hot soup. Meetaibak was young and energetic and brave enough to stand up to Hurricane Wantonmee, and he told the Hurricane that basically, Meetaibak is not used as an ingredient in wanton mee, period. On the other hand, old and amnesic Dongfen forgot himself and started line dancing, straining his heart and he died of a heart attack.
