Presto, Change-o, You Didn't Eat Your Mango

Chapter One: The Dinner

A/N: Mainly this is a story based off an event that happened at my house a while ago. Includes special appearances (randomly) from the cast of the Unites States' version of the reality show "The Mole" (Season Five).

Co-written by Tesla Shoui and Arbella Scott (it'll say who wrote which chapter after the author's note).

So, here's the first chapter…

It all started at the dinner table. I was sitting in my usual spot, the "head" of the table, near the sliding glass door. My cousin, Ashley, was at the opposite end of the table. My parents were on each side; my mom the right, my dad the left.

Stuffed green peppers were served as the main item. All enjoyed them--everyone except me. I, being a vegetarian, had a corn dog--a soy one, of course.

Conversation was the usual.

"How was your day?"

"Guess what my co-worker did today."

"Passed a level in Fire Emblem..."

"Talked to Michael for 14 plus hours…in a row!"

Yeah, as I said, the usual.

Soon, as dinner was called to an end, it happened.

Noticing Ashley had only eaten the contents of her meal, not the pepper itself, my dad spoke up.

"Presto, change-o, you didn't eat your mango!"

Ashley, as was natural, busted out laughing. You see, she thought everything was funny. Literally, everything.

My mom and I just looked at him as if he was crazy, which was quite possible, I believe.

"…What?" I inquired.

"She didn't eat her mango!"

"Mango? You mean green pepper?"

"Some people call them mangoes," my mom explained.

"Oh…"

That was how it all began. This one little incident was to become the most horrifying thing we could imagine. It would scare us to death, run our lives, ruin them if it wanted, and much more.

A/N: Well, there's the first chapter. Short, I know. The story is going to have around thirteen chapters, which will all most likely be pretty short…the story's mainly just for humor.

And as you could probably tell, none of the Mole characters were in this chapter--they'll be in the next one.
