The Misadventures of Hyperdimension Peashy

Episode 42

by Derald Snyder

*Steve DeRommer's House*

"So you said you and Arthur had something to show us?" Steve asked Peach as he, along with his wife and two younger daughters made themselves comfortable on the couch.

"Yeah, A-Mac and I made an amateur mini-movie of sorts, with Adrian's help," Peashy nodded in response. "We thought you might at least get a laugh out of it..."

"Just don't expect anything near the quality of your 3D films, okay Dad?" A-Mac said as he set up the TV.

"Riiiiight," Steve deadpanned, causing iPad to chuckle a little.

"I assume your movie is going for parody, anyway," iPhone theorized.

"Something like that, yeah," Peach nodded. "OK, it's all ready... Here we go." She then sat down next to her father, A-Mac sitting next to his mother before hitting PLAY.

The screen showed a smaller TV with static on-screen, with a large cardboard sign pasted over it that read: 'ATTACK OF THE GIANT NEPGYA'. Then it shifted to a slightly overhead view of Peach and A-Mac playing catch with a football, before Peach suddenly stopped and pointed at something in the sky, A-Mac also turning to look...

"SMILE," a sing-song female voice rang out, the screen showing a cutout of Nepgya rising over a much smaller cutout of Steve's house.

Peach and Arthur run away, the video showing an overhead shot first, then one from the side, A-Mac tripping but quickly regaining his feet, just before one of Nepgear's boots comes down right in front of the camera. "SMILE... SAY CHEESE," Nepgya taunted.

iPad had to cover her mouth to stifle her laughter, iPhone grinning by her side.

The video then showed A-Mac dialing a number on his iPhone, before shifting to indoors, where a printed sign read 'EGGPLANT MISSILE HEADQUARTERS' was displayed above a phone. A military man- presumably Adrian, though his face wasn't shown, picked up the phone saying, "You need a bombing run? 10-4, right away!" before hanging up.

It then cut back to Peach quaking with fear, before A-Mac comes to her side, pointing up at the sky. We see a shot of fighter jets in the sky, then a shot of a model jet with an eggplant suspended beneath it. "Target locked-on! Fire!" Adrian's voice says, the eggplant then dropping from beneath the jet...

The video then cuts back to the cutout of Nepgya, which suddenly gets splattered with eggplant pieces and grape juice! "NEPGYYAAAAAA..." is heard, cutting to a shot of Nepgear's eggplant-covered boots tilting backward, as if their owner fell over, followed by a final shot of Peach and Arthur jumping up and down in celebration.

THE END

STARRING PEACH MACINTOSH

ARTHUR DEROMMER

ADRIAN JOHNS

AND NEPGEAR'S EVIL TWIN NEPGYA

The video then ended, iPad rolling on the floor with laughter, iPhone giggling uncontrollably, and even Laura chuckling a bit.

"So, what'd you think, Dad?" A-Mac asked.

"Well," Steve sighed, "The acting was OK, the plot was bare-bones, and the effects were horrible. But if it was parody you were going for," he gave a thumbs-up, "you nailed it." A-Mac promptly pumped his fists in triumph with a grin.

"Perhaps you should show this to your mother, Peach," Laura suggested.

"Maybe," Peashy shrugged in response, "But Mom doesn't really have the stuff to play this, so I'll have to ask Adrian to upload it on NepTube for me."

"WELL, I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD," another voice spoke up from behind the couch, everyone turning...

And seeing none other than Nepgya herself. "HELLO, YOU HAPPY FAMILY."

"YAAAAAAAAAAHH!" Everyone cried in terror. Everyone but Peach, that is, who promptly leapt at the clone and tackled her to the ground.

"Run! Get outta the house!" the blonde yelled as she grappled with Nepgya, the others swiftly evacuating the premises...

*A short time later...*

The front door to Steve's house opened, Peach carrying Nepgya by her hair and the skirt of her sailor uniform. "And STAY OUT!" she yelled as she hurled the evil funny-face through the air.

"AHHH-HA-HA-HA-HOOIEEEE!" Nepgya cried as she sailed through an ungraceful arc... right into a passing dump truck.

Peashy dusted her hands off as she nodded in satisfaction. "Is she gone?" she heard A-Mac's voice from inside.

"Yep, took her out with the trash," the blonde confirmed as she went back inside.

Meanwhile, Nepgya groaned as she pulled herself into a sitting position. "WELL, THAT COULD HAVE GONE BETTER..." She then felt the truck stop, before the mechanical arm grabbed a large trash bin and emptied it into the truck!

"NEPGYAAAAA-!" the clone's scream was silenced as she was promptly buried in smelly, stinky garbage.
