Chapter Nine: Veggie Tales

(Maria's POV)

I sat at the kitchen table with a blender, tomato, and a cucumber.

"Hi I'm Larry the Cucumber, And this is Bob the tomato! Your watching Veggie Tales!" I said in a very high pitched vegetable sounding voice.

Then I threw Bob and Larry into a blender and turned it on.

"Muahahaha!" I laughed evilly, till I turned around and realized that Erek and Daniel were staring at me with their jaws to the ground.

"I'm not even going to ask" Daniel said.

"Ummm should I be concerned about this because killing Bob and Larry is uhhh kind of cruel even for you." Erek said.

I put a fake hurt look on my face and said, "Bob and Larry insulted me! Sheesh Erek I can't believe your such a stupid idiot!" I said.

Erek suddenly sighed. He sat down at the table and put his head in his hands.

Daniel walked over to the fridge and picked up a bowl of coleslaw and said, "Hey can I throw this out because it's all moldy?"

"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY COLESLAW! ITS MINE! DO YOU HEAR ME!? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU DO DANIEL! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU SHOULD DO? YOU SHOULD GO AND DIG YOUR OWN GRAVE BECAUSE WHEN I'M THROUGH WITH YOU, YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE DEAD YOU SLIME! YOU DISGUST ME!" I screamed.

Yes I know, I overreact, like a lot.

"Could you please stop shouting?" Erek said.

"I assume the Animorphs are still blackmailing you?" Daniel asked.

"Yes! And the worst part is, is that they are acting like such idiots, and getting it into their heads that they can boss me around because I can't punch them in the face and rip out there guts!" Erek said with such vengeance in his voice that it freaked me out.

"So what are they blackmailing you with?" I asked.

Daniel started cracking up and Erek turned red.

"Oh nothing important, Erek is just to over protective." Daniel said smirking.

Erek glared at Daniel.

"So what are you to over protective about?" I asked Erek.

"Uhhhh, nothing just uhhh yeah, so (cough) well you see its uhhh yeah" Erek mumbled.

"Idiot. Well, I'm going to the park now." I said as I pretended to head towards the basement, but instead I hid behind the kitchen door. I knew something was wrong.

"So Erek, When are you going to tell Maria the truth?" Daniel said again smirking.

Erek glared at Daniel and said, "This isn't funny. And I don't want her to know how bad the situation is."

"You know your being way to over protective that is never going to happen." Daniel said again.

Erek sighed and walked out of the room.

Yes kind of odd isn't it? But then things got a lot weirder.

Later on….

I was being good little girl, and sitting on the couch watching sumo wrestling on the TV.

Erek walked up to me and said, "Hey. Look Maria, I'm sorry to do this to you, but could you not leave the house for a couple days?"

"What the heck?" I said.

"Please Maria, just do this one thing for me this one time and I'll never ask for you to do anything for me again." Erek said.

I stared at him. In all of my life I've never heard Erek sound so desperate or scarred.

Five days later….

I was so bored! I've never been so bored in all my life! I couldn't go anywhere but the Chee Park, But my friends James, Claire, and Pedro had better things to do things to do.

I had enough of this! I walked up stairs and knocked on his door.

Erek opened the door. He looked so horrible that it is un-describable.

A wave of pity swept over me. And I can't believe I did this but I gave him a hug and said, "What's going on?"


A/N: Okay I personally think my last sentence is really corny! RR!
