Chapter 25 Jake and Cubby refuse to clean the Cafeteria
Jake's POV
As Cubby and I arrived at the Cafeteria, we were about to clean up, but we refused.
"You know, we would have never be in this mess if you haven't thrown that Macaroni on to my jacket." I said to Cubby.
"Well if you could have just kept your mouth shut, about the PJ masks and how it's for babies we would have never be in this mess in the first place Jake." Cubby said to me.
" Oh so it's my fault?" I asked him.
"Pretty much, yeah!" Cubby said to me.
"Know what I have put up with you all day, and all I'm trying to do is patch things up between us." I said to him.
"You know what Jake you can find a new best friend, cuz I'm done." Cubby said to me as he left.
"Cubby, come back!" I said to him.
"why are you calling me back? I'm not your best friend anymore." Cubby said to me.
" We're supposed to clean up the cafeteria together! And I'm talking to nobody." I said to myself.
As I went to go look for Cubby I bumped into Izzy.
"Oh Jake I'm sorry I didn't see you there." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy I love to stay and talk to you right now and I love you, but Cubby left." I said to her.
"Well don't just stand there, come on let's find him." Izzy said to me.
As Izzy and I were searching for Cubby we checked the Hideout first.
Once we arrived back to our home, we searched everywhere for Cubby. But he wasn't here.
"He's not in the bathroom." Izzy said to me.
"He's not on his bed." I said to her.
"Where else could he be?" I asked her as she shrugged her shoulders.
So as Izzy and I checked the living room, Cubby was sitting down on the couch watching TV.
"Cubby there you are." Izzy said to him as she gave him a hug.
"Cubby, you can't run off like that." Izzy said to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to run away like that Izzy." Cubby said to her.
"Cubby can you please tell us what's going on?" Izzy asked him.
" Why should I tell you what's going on so Jake can make fun of me again?" Cubby asked her.
"Cubby I promise I won't make fun of you in this time." I said to him.
" I don't trust you." Cubby said to me.
"Cubby, please." I said to him.
"Fine. But if you make one funny comment about me Jake, we're done for good." Cubby said to me as I nodded my head.
"Cubby, aren't you going to tell us what's going on?" Izzy asked him.
"He's probably to scared to tell us Izzy." I said to her.
"Jake show some respect." Izzy said to me.
"Sorry." I said to her.
"Look the reason I left like that is because, I didn't want Jake to see me cry." Cubby said to her.
"What's the big deal on that, I see you cry all the time." I said to him.
" Well yeah but not like crying, crying uncontrollably that kind of thing." Cubby said to me.
" I'm sorry Jake, I didn't mean to throw food at you." Cubby said to me.
" I'm the one who should be sorry to, I should have never started the food fight." I said to him.
"Technically it's both our faults." Cubby said to me.
"Yeah it is our faults." I said to him.
"Should we go back and clean up the cafeteria?" I asked Cubby.
"Yeah, let's go." Cubby said as we went back to the dance studio to clean up the cafeteria.
As we came ba k to the cafeteria, Peter was not happy.
"Where have you two been?" Peter asked us.
" Well, we went to go get ice cream." Cubby said to him.
"I don't see any ice cream in your hand." Peter said he him.
" That's because we ate it, before we came inside." I said to him.
" GO, CLEAN THE CAFETERIA!" Peter said to us.
"On it sir." I said to him as Cubby and I started to clean the Cafeteria.
Cubby's POV
Ad Jake and I were cleaning the Cafeteria, Izzy came in.
"Let me guess you told on us didn't you?" I asked her.
"Hey I'm just trying to keep the cafeteria clean I like you bozos." Izzy said to us.
"Jake, did she just call us bozos?" I asked him.
"I don't know." Jake said to me.
"So you boys better clean up the cafeteria." Izzy said to us.
"You know, you could help us." I said to her.
"Oh I would, but I didn't make the mess sorry." Izzy said to me.
As I was mopping the floor, I looked at the vending machine and walked over to us to get a snack after I dropped the mop.
Jake's POV
As I looked to my right, I saw Cubby eating a chocolate bar.
"Cubby, where did you get the chocolate bar?" I asked him.
"The vending machine." Cubby said to me.
" We're supposed to be cleaning the cafeteria, NOT SNACKING!" I said to him.
"I know, but I was hungry." Cubby said to me.
"Just finish the food, and help me clean up." I said to him.
As Cubby and I were still cleaning the Cafeteria, Peter came in to check our progress.
"Well, the cafeteria looks good so far." Peter said to us.
"Thanks Peter!" I said to him.
"Keep up the good work guys!" Peter said to us as he left.
" okay is he telling us to keep up the good work, what does he want us to make a mess?" Cubby asked me.
"NO, he wants us to continue doing our job of cleaning the Cafeteria. Keep up Cubby." I said to him.
"Sorry." Cubby said to me.
"That's okay, we're almost done anyway, thank God." I said to him.
As we were finally done cleaning up the cafeteria, we all went home so I could take a nice hot shower.
"Finally we're done cleaning the cafeteria, now I can go in the shower." I said to Cubby.
"Yeah you do reek." Cubby said to me as I slapped him on the head.
"Ouch! Why do it?" Cubby asked me.
"Because you're talking nonsense." I said to him.
"One sec." I said to him as I found a rock.
"Here!" I said to him as I handed him the rock.
"Jake, what's this in my hand?" Cubby asked me.
"Big Rock." I said to him.
"What do you want me to do with the big rock?" Cubby asked me.
"Kill me!" I said to him.
"Jake I'm not going to hit you with in the head with a big rock okay." Cubby said to me as he throw the rock at a tree.
Cubby's POV
As Jake was taking a shower, I went into the kitchen to get a up of water. That's when Izzy came in.
"Hey, Cubby where's Jake?" Izzy asked me.
"In the shower." I said to her.
"Oh, are you going in the shower after Jake?" Izzy asked me.
"Like I said to Jake, I not making any promises." I said to her.
"Cubby, you better take a shower once Jake comes out." Izzy said to me.
"Okay, okay I well, calm down mom." I said to her.
"Good!" Izzy said to me.
"If you need me, I'll be in the living room, watching TV." Izzy said to me.
"And I'll be in the kitchen making dinner, before I get in the shower." I said to her.
"Should you make dinner after you're done taking a shower?" Izzy asked me.
"No, it's better if I do it now then later that way I can get it out of the way." I said to her.
"Uh, okay." Izzy said to me.
Izzy's POV
As Cubby was making dinner, I was in the living room watching TV. And I was watching The Simpsons on Disney plus.
"Homer, is really funny." I said to myself trying not to laugh that much.
As I was watch the Simpsons on Disney plus, Jake came in.
"Hey, Jake, that was a fast shower." I said to him.
"Yeah, it was." Jake said to me.
"Where's Cubby?" Jake asked me.
"He's making dinner." I said to him.
"He's supposed to be taking a shower, not making dinner." Jake said to me.
" I told Cubby once you're done in the shower, he can go in." I said to him.
" Okay I'm going to tell him that I'm done in the shower, and he can go inside to get his shower done." Jake said to me.
Jake's POV
As I went into the kitchen, Cubby was cooking dinner.
"Hey, Cubby I am done in the shower, so you can go in I'll finish making dinner." I said to him.
" You sure?" Cubby asked me..
" Yeah! You got get in the shower, and once you come out dinner be ready." I said to him.
"Okay, thanks Jake." Cubby said to me.
"You're welcome, now go get cleaned up." I said to him.
"You got it, big bro!" Cubby said to me as he went to the shower.
So, as Cubby was in the shower, I was finishing up dinner for him. But for Izzy since she can eat only soft foods, I placed a carton of applesauce in the table for her.
As I was finishing up dinner, Izzy came into the kitchen.
"Hey, Izzy, your dinner is on the table." I said to her.
"Really Jake, applesauce for dinner for me why?" Izzy asked me.
'because your only allowed to eat soft foods. Do I have to answer it again?" I asked her.
"No, carry on!" Izzy said as she started to eat her applesauce.
"You better eat the whole thing Izzy." I said to her.
"And you know, that I will eat the when entire thing." Izzy said to me.
"Yeah, okay." I said to her as I went back to cooking.
Izzy's POV
As I was done eating the applesauce, I throw it in the trash, and went back to the living room.
Jake's POV
As I was about to throw away the leftovers, I immediately saw Izzy's carton of applesauce. And it wasn't even done.
"Isabella Rose Green please come in the kitchen, right now young lady!" I said to her as she came into the kitchen.
"Yes Jake." Izzy said to me.
"What is this? Izzy what is this?" I asked her.
"A hat." Izzy said to me.
"No it's not a hat, because it appears to me that it is a carton of applesauce, that is not finished." I said to her.
"Now, you are going to sit down and finish this." I said to her.
" So, you expect me to eat applesauce that you just took out the garbage?" Izzy asked me.
"Yes!" I said to her.
"Jake this is really disgusting! and you expect me to eat this apple sauce that you found in the garbage so you can get me sick?" Izzy asked me.
"Well..." I said to her.
"Ugh, you are so disgusting Jake." Izzy said to me.
"I'm not eating this." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy, you better eat it now." I said to her.
."This is so disgusting." Izzy said to herself.
"Well it's your fault, for throwing it in the trash." I said to her.
"I'm going to check up on Cubby. And when I come back, that carton better be empty." I said to her.
As I went to the door where Cubby was taking a shower, I knocked on it.
"Cubby? It's Jake is everything okay in there?" I asked him.
"Everything's fine Jake, thank you." Cubby said to me.
"Alright, just checking buddy." I said to him as I went back into the kitchen.
As I went back into the kitchen, I saw Izzy, now eating a cookie.
"ISABELLA ROSE GREEN WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EATING?" I asked her.
"It's not a cookie, if that's what you're thinking." Izzy said to me.
" Go spit the cookie out. And did you finish the applesauce?" I asked her.
"Yes!" Izzy said to me.
"You're not lying to me are you?" I asked her.
" What no of course not." Izzy said to me.
" Then what's that on the kitchen counter?" I asked her pointing out the carton of applesauce that isn't finished still.
"My carton of applesauce." Izzy said to me.
"Exactly! So, you better finish it now." I said to her.
"But it's disgusting! I don't want to eat that." Izzy said to me.
" Too bad, you tried to hide it from me twice so you better eat it." I said to her as she started to cry.
"Oh stop your crying you did this to yourself Izzy." I said to her.
"I...don't...want...to...eat... This." Izzy said to me.
"too bad. Because I am going to sit here, and watch you finish the applesauce. I might have to just sit here all night if I have to." I said to her.
"I'm sorry I'm sorry Jake I didn't mean to please please I'm sorry." Izzy said to me.
"You're doing the same thing you did last year, throwing food away." I said to her.
"Izzy, I want what's best for you." I said to her.
"You, you do?" Izzy asked me with tears coming down her face.
" Of course I do, Izzy there will be times when I get mad, at you there will be times when I don't. But I'm only doing this because I love you. Look I'm sorry I had to yell at you but you have to deserve it." I said to her.
"You really scared of me." Izzy said to me.
"And I'm sorry for that okay, come here." I said to her as I have her a kiss and a hug.
"Hey Romeo and Juliet oh, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but can you eat dinner with me Jake?" Cubby asked me as he was sitting at the dinning room table waiting for me.
"Oh yeah sorry Cubby! Izzy how about you go watch TV okay." I suggested to her.
" Okay Jake! I love you." Izzy said to me.
"I love you too Izzy." I said to her as I started to eat dinner with Cubby.
"So how was your shower?" I asked him.
"It was hot!" Cubby said to me.
"I'm glad you took a shower Cubby." I said to him.
"Yeah, I feel clean." Cubby said to me.
"Me too." I said to him.
"So what was with the yelling towards Izzy?" Cubby asked me.
" She threw her applesauce away twice, and she lied to me when she said that she eat the whole thing. Which I know she didn't so I had to make her eat it." I said to him.
"so let me get this straight, you took out the applesauce out of the trash, can and you made her eat it?" Cubby asked me.
"Yep." I said to him.
"That's disgusting." Cubby said to me.
"I know it's disgusting, but she had to learn her lesson." I said to him.
Izzy's POV
As I was watching TV, I felt the applesauce coming back up.
So I went to our bedroom to grab the bucket and started to throw up.
"Jake, I just threw up." I called for him.
As Jake and Cubby came into the bedroom, Jake saw me throwing up.
"Izzy you okay?" Jake asked me.
"Doesn't look like I'm okay?" I asked him.
"Well, no you're throwing up." Jake said to me.
"Thank you Captain obvious!" I said to him.
"I should have never let you eat that applesauce." Jake said to me.
"You think!" I said to him as I started to throw up again.
"Izzy, I think you should stay home tomorrow you don't feel good." Jake said to me.
" No no I don't want to stay home no." I said to him.
" Izzy, you just threw up. I think it's best for you to stay home tomorrow. But if you're feeling better by the morning, then we can go to the dance studio. But if you're not, you're staying home. Do I make myself clear?" Jake asked me.
"Yes Jake!" I said to him.
"Good! Now let me tuck you into bed." Jake said to me as he and Cubby help me to my bed.
"Thanks, guys." I said to them.
"You're welcome Izzy. I hope you feel better tomorrow." Cubby said to me.
"Thank you, but I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow." I said to him.
"I hope so, because I hate seeing my big sister sick." Cubby said to me.
"Aww, that's really generous of you to say that Cubby, thank you!" I said to him.
"You're welcome!" Cubby said to me with a smile.
"I'm tired I'm going to bed." Jake said to me.
"Okay, goodnight Jake!" I said to him.
"Yeah, I'm heading to bed too." Cubby said to me."
"Well, goodnight to the both of you." I said to them.
"Goodnight." Both Jake and Cubby said to me.
But During the middle of night, I started to throw up again.
"Izzy, are you throwing up again?" Jake asked me as I nodded my head.
Jake's POV
While Izzy was continuously throwing up, I decided to go get the thermometer to check her temperature.
As I came back, I placed the thermometer in her ear. After It beeped I took it out, and it read 10.40
"Yep, you're staying home tomorrow." I said to her.
"No! I don't want to stay home." Izzy said to me.
"Izzy you're sick, and you're staying home tomorrow. I'm not taking no for an answer." I said to her.
"I'm going to the dance studio, and you can't stop me." Izzy said to me.
"If I ever see you in the dance studio tomorrow, you are in big trouble." I said to her.
" Wait so you're not staying home to take care of me?" Izzy asked me.
"Good point! I'm staying home with you." I said to her.
"Jake I want you to go to
the dance studio tomorrow, I'll be fine." Izzy said to me.
"Are you sure?" I asked her.
" Sure I'm sure I'm your girlfriend I want you to have fun." Izzy said to me.
"Okay, but if you need anything tomorrow, you know what to do." I said to her.
"I start calling you right away." Izzy said to me.
"And I'll come straight home." I said to her.
"Have fun tomorrow Jake okay." Izzy said to me.
"And feel better tomorrow, I love you." I said to her.
"I love you too Jake." Izzy said to me..
The next morning, I woke up and I saw that Izzy was asleep. So I went into the kitchen and got myself a glass of orange juice.
"Morning Jake!" Cubby said to me.
"Morning!" I said to him.
"Are you ready to go?" Cubby asked me.
"Yeah, let's hit the dance studio!" I said to him as we left the Hideout.
Izzy's POV
After the boys left, I got out of bed really slowly, cuz I wasn't feeling well. But that isn't going to stop me. So I immediately putted my robe on and went straight to the dance studio.
As I got to the dance Studio, I saw Jake and Cubby walking into their dance studio rooms so I immediately went to the studio where Jake went in.
But as I went inside I started to feel the applesauce come back up again. So I took a trash can and started to throw up in it.
Jake's POV
As the rest of the guys and I were dancing, I heard someone throwing up and knew who that some one is.
"Well, I hope Izzy doesn't realize that I'm cheating on her, with this other girl that just came inside the dance studio." I said to myself.
"Jake's cheating on me?" Izzy thought in her head.
"Oh well I guess I'm going to send love to my new girlfriend Marina the mermaid." I said to myself as Izzy poped her head from the trash can.
"Oh, hi Izzy!" I said to her.
"Hi Jake. So you're cheating on me?" Izzy asked me.
"You know what maybe I should ask you a question like why did you sneak inside the dance studio? When you're supposed to be in bed." I asked her.
" Funny story about that haha you're going to laugh." Izzy said to me.
"Believe me, I'm laughing on the inside.
"Izzy, we are going to talk about this when I get home. So I want you to March home NOW, and I'm not cheating on you." I said to her.
"I know you're not cheating on me Jake, and I'm sorry I'll go home." Izzy said to me.
Izzy's POV
As I arrived home, Jake was really upset with me.
Jake's POV
As I arrived home from dance class, I was now really mad at Izzy.
"ISABELLA ROSE GREEN WHERE ARE YOU YOUNG LADY?" I asked myself.
"Here I am Jake." Izzy said to me.
"I am very mad at you today." I said to her.
"I know, I'm sorry." Izzy said to me.
"Damn right you're sorry, because you are GROUNDED! That means no TV, and no using your phone. And I mean it." I said to her.
"Go to your bed! And think about what you've done." I said to her as she walked to her bed.
Cubby's POV
As I came home, I saw Izzy in her bed.
"Hey, Izzy!" I said to her but she didn't answer.
"I guess she was sleeping, or something." I said to myself.
" Cubby can I speak to you about Izzy?" Jake asked me as I went into the kitchen.
"What's up Jake?" I asked him.
"Well, Izzy came to the dance studio today, even though she knows that she's not feeling well." Jake said to me.
" What she did?" I asked him.
"Yes, she did Cubby. So I don't want you to speak to her for awhile because she is grounded. She's not allowed to watch TV, or use her phone." Jake said to me.
"Okay, Jake!" I said to him.
