Chapter 3 – The Prank
"Gloyd Orangeboar! I swear on the lollipop woods if you prank me one more time I will run over you in my car and leave it on top of you!" She screeched.
Gloyd laughed as he jumped into his car and drove off.
Taffyta was angry.
That could be good, he thought.
It could be bad too, he thought as he drove.
Taffyta jumped into her own car and spat out the lollipop.
Gloyd had taken Crumbelina's suggestion, and melted some sour drops together into a lollipop that he gave to Taffyta as a 'present'. Her reaction to the sour taste was priceless; it was like biting a lemon.
Taffyta was gaining speed, but so was he. He had to find a place to hide. He turned a corner and saw the Diet Cola Mountain.
'She just disappeared through the base of mountain, so I followed her, and I passed through.' A slightly twisted variation of what Crumbelina had said entered his mind. He drove straight towards the mountain, and passed through the wall. He heard Taffyta's Pink Lightning skid to a halt. Then he heard a yell of frustration from outside before the car left again. He sighed with relief, and finally took in what he had driven into.
It was amazing. There was a glowing pool of Cola at the bottom of the inside of the mountain, and a huge set of mentos at the top. A pink ramp was either side of the mountain, and there was a track leading up to it. He looked around, as the ramp on the other side had a track leading back down to the track that went around the pool of cola.
"This place is awesome...Swizzle would love that jump. Too bad he's with Minty to see this." He muttered.
A flash of blue caught his eye, and he looked in its direction. Nothing was there. He disregarded it and walked around, leaving his car parked beside the wall area that he had come through. He followed the track around to an area that looked like some sort of bed.
"A bed? Does someone live here?"
"Yeah, I do." A girl's voice stated. It made Gloyd jump, and it didn't sound familiar. He turned in the voice's direction, which had come from above.
There was a girl on the ramp. She had brown hair in pigtails, periwinkle blue eyes and light skin. She was wearing a strawberry red hat shaped like the outside shell of a pomegranate fruit. She had brown t-shirt with a pomegranate picture in the centre, a strawberry red jacket and skirt and brown sneakers covered partly by strawberry red legwarmers.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Who are you?" Gloyd repeated.
"I asked you first." She challenged.
"Fair point. Why don't you come down here and we'll introduce ourselves." He returned.
The girl smirked and skipped down the ramp merrily. She jumped to a stop and leaned forward so she was nearly nose to nose with Gloyd. She grinned at Gloyd's nervous expression.
"You look interesting."
"Excuse me?"
"Who are you?"
Gloyd adjusted his pumpkin hat. "The names Gloyd, Gloyd Orangeboar. And you?"
"Pomme Truffleberry."
