The Misadventures of Hyperdimension Peashy

Episode 44

by Derald Snyder

Peach walked into Vert's room, hoping that she could wake her up without too much trouble... when she stopped cold, her eyes going wide.

It was Vert and Chika, sleeping together in Vert's bad, both with content smiles on their faces. (Well, if this isn't all kinds of suggestive,) she thought with a sweat drop. At least they were still in their clothes from yesterday... then Peach suddenly got an idea, smirking as she exited the room...

When she came back she was hiding her myPhone in one hand, and an air horn in the other. Turning on her mobile device's 'record' function, she looked into the phone and whispered, "Wake-up prank," before pointing the phone's camera at Vert and Chika... Making sure the air horn was at least partially in-frame, she set it off, filling the room with a 100-decibel horn blast.

The effect was immediate, as Vert abruptly jerked upward into a sitting position, while Chika's limbs flailed under the sheets before she managed to pull herself up as well. Both had looks of shock on their faces, their eyes shrunk to small circles.

"Peach...?! Oh, for heaven's sake...!" Vert moaned as she rubbed her temples. "You know I hate being awakened in such a manner..."

"Ah... wha... huh...?" Chika grunted as she looked over at her goddess, then back at Peashy. "Oh, no! Peach, th-this is NOT w-what it looks like, I swear! I-I was just putting Lady Vert to bed when she fell asleep at her computer, and...!"

"Tell that to all your adoring fans on the Internep," the blonde soldier taunted with a grin.

"What th- you're recording?!" Chika screeched in horror, quickly whipping the sheets off her as she jumped out of the bed. "Gimme that phone-!"

Peach just laughed as she turned and ran out of the room, the Leanbox Oracle hot on her heels...

*Some time later...*

Vert was in the kitchen making scrambled eggs and toast when Chika trudged into the room, panting, sweaty and exhausted. "It appears Peach outran you, hmm?"

"Actually, she collapsed from exhaustion and I brought her back here," Peashy said as she entered behind the Oracle, pulling out a chair for the greenette to plop down on. "You should join me for my morning jogs more often, it'd do good for your health."

"Very... funny..." Chika panted as Vert scooped some eggs on her plate. It took a few minutes for her to summon the energy to grab the fork and start eating...

"Honestly, Peach," Vert sighed in disapproval, "that was uncalled for, what you did. I thought you would have outgrown such childish pranks by now..."

"Sorry, Lady Vert," the other blonde shrugged with a smile as she sat down, "but that scene was just begging to be recorded..."

"You do realize..." Chika groaned, "that such a video... will only fuel the rumors... about Lady Vert and myself..."

"You were both fully dressed," Peach countered, "so most people with half a brain'll realize that nothing *ahem* steamy happened between the two of you..." She took a bite of her scrambled eggs.

"Even so..." Chika sighed as she nibbled at her eggs. "I think you should be disciplined..."

"Oh, she will be..." Vert smirked... suddenly whipping out the air horn from earlier and blowing it in Peach's face!

The blonde screamed as her eardrums were assaulted, falling off her chair as a result! Sticking a pinky finger in one ear, Peashy looked up to see Vert's own mobile device in hand! "Wha- seriously?!"

"Let this be a lesson to you, dear Peach," Vert proclaimed, "what goes around comes around."

Chika laughed uncontrollably at the sudden reversal, as Peashy buried her face in her hands in embarrassment...
