"How's your lunch, chums?" Dingodile asked. "Good, innit?"

Crash Bandicoot and his friends were eating lunch at Dingo's Diner. They had just finished their latest adventure that left them very hungry for a good meal - which they had discovered they were not going to get at their enemy-turned-ally's shambolic restaurant. The bandicoots tried to hide their disgust over the awful food they were finding hard to stomach.

"Oh yeah, Dingodile!" Coco nodded, forcing a smile. "Your food has such a unique taste!"

"I'll second that!" Tawna added as she subtly grimaced. "I can honestly say I've never eaten at a place anything like this!"

Crash nodded agreeably, trying his best not to throw his lunch up.

"I'm glad you're all satisfied, mates!" Dingodile shot them a wide smile, his sharp, pointy teeth glistening. "There's plenty more grub where this came from! Make sure you leave room for dessert!"

The three bandicoots exchanged dismayed gazes. None of them were in any mood for more of the horrific meals being cooked and served to them by the pyromaniac dingo-crocodile hybrid. Still, on the bright side, at least he was frying food for a change - instead of trying to roast Crash.

"Well, that ends another adventure," Aku Aku said, pleased he did not have to eat any of Dingodile's dishes, due to being a floating mask. "It was quite a different one, wouldn't you agree?"

"Yeah, but after all the time we've spent waiting for a new one," Coco replied, "this adventure was well worth the wait!"

Crash gave a thumbs-up, siding with his smart little sister over what she had said. He was well pleased to have had a new adventure after such a long time.

"To think you guys actually teamed up with Cortex," Tawna commented. "Even if it was just for a little while."

"Yeah, it didn't take him long to go back to his old ways." Coco propped up her head with her hand as she rested her elbow on the table. "The big-headed double crosser."

Crash's face fell as he remembered over how Cortex's truce with him had only been temporary. The bandicoot had rather taken a shine to his enemy in the time they had teamed up. He couldn't understand why his lifelong adversary would stab him in the furry back like that.

"Doctor Cortex and his minions cannot be trusted," Aku Aku said wisely. "They are nothing but bad news."

Everyone nodded, agreeing with what the witch doctor's mask had said about the mad scientist and his cronies.

"Troublemakers..." Coco murmured.

"Cretins..." Tawna muttered.

"Jibber jabber..." Crash mumbled.

"BASTARDS!" Dingodile suddenly burst out.

Everyone instantly gasped in horror at what the dingo-crocodile hybrid had said.

"Dingodile!" Aku Aku cried. "You cannot say that word!"

"Oh no?" Dingodile frowned. "And why the bloody hell not?"

"Because..." The magic mask stammered, unable to believe such vulgar words in their environment. "Because this is a children's video game!"

"Yeah, that's right!" Coco added. "Children everywhere played our original games in the late nighties and early two thusands!"

"Precisely, mates!" Dingodile smirked as he waved a finger. "Them little tykes will be all grown up by now! They'd perfectly accept hearing this words in the new game!"

"But - what about the kids who are just experiencing our games for the first time these days?" Tawna protested. "Do you want them to be exposed to your bad language?"

"Aw, to hell with the little buggers of today!" Dingodile swung around irritably to storm off. "This isn't even bad language! Not when it's coming crom me, at least, since I'm an Aussie!"

The hybrid headed off in a sulk to the diner's kitchen, slamming the door behind him. The bandicoots and the mask remained at the table. All were slack jawed over Dingodile's appalling vocabulary he had dared to use in the game.

"Well!" Coco exclaimed. "Can you believe that guy?!"

"I hope no one else repeats those bad words he said!" Aku Aku frowned. "We don't want any children who plays our games to learn and say such disgusting language!"

At that moment, Crash made a noise which would sound to the average person like complete gibberish. All eyes at the table turned to him, filled with horror over how the hero of the games was repeating Dingodile's rude words.

"CRASH!" Aku Aku thundered. "YOU WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE, YOUNG MARSUPIAL!"

The end.
