Operation: SAVE THAT CHEESE!
Lauren's P.O.V.:
The weather has gotten quite bitter for November but that didn't stop Sean and I from catching up with Lisa and Dax in the park today. I honestly needed a walk and so did he after all school was out just a few seconds ago. "So if I heard you correctly my good friend your name is Dexter Bluster Blooperment right," Lisa asked him. "That's right," he said with a smile. "No wonder they have long last names," Sean whispered to me. "Oh don't insult them," I told him with a nudge. "Okay," Sean admitted. "I can't thank you enough dude for doing this with me for the East Brooklyn High Paper this is going to be great," Lisa squealed. "Well, I'm glad you gave me the offer Lisa," Dex smiled.
"I know she will right," I piped up. "Indeed Lauren, indeed," Lisa smiled as we walked over to a park bench in the playground to sit down. "So what exactly is the article your writing about Lisa," Sean asked after taking out his homework. "I'm writing about how people on the planet Skeleci make cheese," she told us. "Wow," Sean remarked. "How do they do it? Meaning make the cheese," I questioned. "Glad you asked Lauren. We make it in space," Dex told us. I looked at him and so did Sean.
"Shut up," I gasped. "I kid you not," he told us. "Are you serious," Sean asked. "Sure am," he told us. "Man, I am not surprised," he told me as we were working on our science homework for class. "Okay Lauren, what is our assignment for the week," Sean asked me. "Well, we got to write something about two elements of matter and how they compare to each other like liquid and solid," I told him reading the assignment from our paper.
"Okay so let's think. How are they the same," Sean asked. "Well I know for one thing my friend, their molecules," I pointed out. "Okay," he said writing down notes. "Oh, changeable elements under certain temps," Lisa suggested. "Good point," I told her writing stuff down. "Oh they have the same composition of the matter," Dex told us. "Hey that's goo-, wait a minute," Sean and I said looking at Lisa and Dex. "Aren't you guys supposed to be watching the monitor or something," I asked.
"Yeah but for right now we are helping you guys with your homework," Lisa told us. "Okay so in the meantime, can you show us how you guys make the cheese," Sean asked. "Sure, I'll fire up the monitor right now," Dex told us with a smile getting out his case. "This is going to be so cool," I told them. "I know I can't wait," Lisa told me. "Okay gang, as you can see hear on my monitor it shows the cheese that is now making in space," Dex said showing us on the screen with the camera.
"Oh that is so cool. Is there a camera in there," Sean asked looking over my shoulder. "There is. In fact, it allows me to monitor the progress as well," Dex told us. "Cool," Sean noticed. "So if I understand correctly the cheese is floating around in this small sort of room like machine orbiting space around the same time the moon is orbiting around the earth," I clarified. "Exactly Lauren and as you can see here, if I press the display button it shows you the view of earth from my capsule," Dex told us pressing a few controls. "Oh wow this is amazing," I breathed. Sean just whistled and Lisa well she was impressed herself.
Sean's P.O.V.:
Out of the coroner of my eye, I felt like little tiptoes were coming to the bench and that's when I looked around to see Annie Scrambler heading towards the steering wheel case. "Uh Lauren," I said tapping her on the shoulder. "Yeah dude," she asked turning around. She gasped as we both saw what was happening for a bit though I could hear Lisa ask Dex on why they make cheese into space. "Well honestly it's like making cookies when people place them in the oven until their golden brown. It's the same principal we use for the cheese," Dex told us. "Neat," Lisa answered. "Uh guys, "Lauren started to tell Lisa and Dex since she was tapping their shoulder but they were busy talking. "So have to navigate the cheese back to Earth huh," Lisa asked. "Yep I need to use the steering wheel for it," Dex told her. "Um guys," I said to them as they still talked. "Well let's see the steering wheel and place this cheese in action," Lisa told him.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"GUYS," Sean and I shouted and they looked at us. "What," Lisa asked. "I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Dex's steering wheel is gone," I told them. "WHAT," Dex yelled getting the case for the wheel and brought it onto the bench since Sean and I already packed up our homework. "That's odd I had it locked up ready for today," he told us. "Unless," I thought. "Someone must have opened the locks," Lisa added. "Check the case front," Sean suggested. Lisa closed the lid and we saw a message on there. "Space cheese news result I am guilty. In your face Lisa," I read out loud.
"Oh no," Sean realized. "She didn't," I said after him. "Who," Dex asked. "Annie Scrambler," Lisa snarled. "I told you this would happen," I told her. "Uh Lauren you didn't," Sean told me. "Oops," I shrugged. "Well now the question is guys, how do I get the cheese down from space," Dex asked. "Only one thing to do and that is desperate measures," I told them. "Lauren, you read my mind," Lisa told me before slamming her pen on the bench table. "HEY YOU GUYS," she cried out into the afternoon sky afterwards we ran over to the diner with Sean and I's backpacks locked up of course with homework. Hector, Keith and Jess were already there waiting for us when we arrived.
Jess's P.O.V.:
"Hey, Lisa gave the message what's up," I asked. "Ask Dex," Lauren told me as she sat down with Sean at the bench. "Annie Scrambler took my steering wheel for the capsule," he explained to us. "She did what now," Hector asked. "She took my steering wheel for my cheese capsule without me knowing," Dex complained. "Well, what I don't get it is why she did this in the first place," Keith asked us. "Well, I think the main reason is I got picked to do the article and she didn't," Lisa told us. "Yeah besides if she did, I can tell you what her article will be about," Lauren said to us from the stool.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"What's that," Hector asked me. "She's better than Lisa and The Electric Company is lame and people should turn to the Pranksters," I answered. Everyone winced when I said that. I guessed they did not want this to happen. "Yeah I can imagine if that did get published Keith and I wouldn't be able to play football in the park like we did today without people scoffing at us," Hector said. "So aside from all that I'm still confused on where the cheese is. Can anyone help," Jess asked.
"Well from what we can tell is that as we speak it is orbiting around the Earth," I told Jess. "Get out," Jess said to us. "Uh huh," I told her. "Shut up," Hector said. "Yep. Hey Dex show them on the monitor," I told him. "Okay," Dex told us getting his monitor up and running. "While you're doing that, I'll show them a model right here," Keith said doing his special skill as I looked on. "Alright here is the capsule orbiting Earth right now as Lauren said which is similar to the moon orbiting around the Earth," Keith told us. "Nice," everyone agreed as they watched the thing come to life.
"Hey Shock," I asked Shock as he came over. "Yo Lauren, what can I do for you," he told me coming over. "Got any idea for a comparison between a liquid and solid. Sean and I have to do this for class," I asked. "Well their atoms move around frequently I can tell you that," he told us thinking. "Oh that's perfect thanks Shock," I smiled. "No problem. Let me guess homework and a Prankster problem," he asked looking over at us. "Yep," they replied.
"Geesh, guys I'm telling you that must be hard to juggle things at once," he told us. "Welcome to the club my friend," Sean told him. "So as you can see here we see the cheese's orbit," Lisa told them as Shock came over and looked on. "I have to admit that is quite impressive Dex, so we need to find the steering wheel right," Hector asked. "Correct, otherwise it will be stuck in space forever," Dex told us. "Okay's that bad," Sean admitted as we faced them again. "Yeah and aren't you guys done with homework," Hector asked. "We are now," I told him with a smile. "But back to the problem that is tough Dex I can tell you that for sure," Hector told him.
"I'm honestly not sure you don't know Hector," Dex told him. "What do you mean," Shock asked. "My grandmother's birthday is tomorrow and I promised her cheese that I made for a birthday present. Besides, she is obsessed with cheese," Dex told us. "You have a grandmother obsessed with cheese," I asked. "Yeah," he replied. "Dude, that is like Jess when she wants to get Jonas Brothers concert tickets," Sean said and I looked at him including Jess. "What? She wanted tickets for a while," he told me. "Not now dude, we have to help Dex remember," I told him. "Oh," Sean realized. "Well at this rate I could have made her so happy," Dex said walking over to the window.
"WHERE ARE YOU ANNIE AND WHERE IS MY STEERING WHEEL," Dex yelled into the glass. "Okay Dex, calm down I know your upset but we have to solve this and we will," I told him getting up from the chair. "How," he asked me. "Gang, sing it to him," I told them.
Music in the back ground
Lisa: Don't you worry Dexter Bluster Blooperment, we'll get you out of this predicament.
(Keith and Hector) Have no fear, don't you worry. We are here, please don't worry.
Hector: Okay Dex here's the deal, were going to find that steering wheel and will fly that ball of cheese right down here to Earth. Everyone: Hey!
Lisa: We are sure it'll be here in time for your granny's birthday.
Everyone: We'll serve it up with crackers on a tray.
Lisa: I think I know what your granny will say. She'll say Dex my grandson, you know I've always been a somewhat cheese freak. Yet you made this cheese that could make granny's knees weak.
(Lauren speaking): Uh Lisa, I don't think we want that to happen.
Lisa: I really love this cheese.
(Hector): It's so fluffy.
Lisa: Like more please
(Hector) Fluffy, yummy cheese
Lisa: No not plants
(Hector): Love this cheese
Lisa: And my grandson, I love you.
Everyone: And that fluffy, fluffy cheese
End song.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
They were out of breath after singing that song and I couldn't blame them for sure. They danced with the plates which I betted with Sean they were going to break but nope they didn't. "Hey guys, can I have those plates back? Leo needs them," Shock told us coming out back from the behind the diner. "Okay," they said and gave them to him. "Alright so I think the best option we have is to divide and conquer this problem," I told them.
"Right," Lisa agreed. "So," Sean started to say but lost track. "I got it Sean. Hector, Jess, Keith you guys search for Annie around the neighborhood," I told them. "On it," Jess replied. "Yes mam," Keith said afterwards. "We'll text you if we find her," Hector told me. "Okay, Lisa, Dex all of us will head back to the park and see if we can find any more clues," I told Lisa. "Perfect because I have a good feeling about this story and will expose the truth of Annie Scrambler," Lisa smirked. "Oh you will," Sean agreed as we headed over to the park after dropping off the backpacks of course.
"Alright guys, let's start looking," Lisa told us as we began to walk almost every single edge, nook, cranny everywhere to find the steering wheel. "Any luck Lauren, Sean," Lisa asked us. "Nope," we replied back. "Oh man, I'm getting really worried about the cheese now guys," he told us. "I don't get it on how she took it and we can't find her anywhere," Lisa added. Sean and I soon heard laughter coming from a distance.
"Hey Sean, listen," I told him. He stopped and heard the laughter as much as I did. "That laughter it must be coming from the other side of the park," he realized. "Yeah your right. Let's head over there," I told him. "Hey where are you guys going," Lisa asked us. "We heard laughter I think I know where Annie is," I told her. "Check the monitor and we'll call you if it is her," Sean told Lisa as we took off running through the leaves in the park. We went over to the kid section of the park and soon found Manny Spamboni with who else beside him, Annie Scrambler.
"Lauren, that's them," Sean told me as we poked through the bush near them. "I know I can't believe it was his laugh all along," I whispered. "Manny can I drive please? I've been waiting for a while," Annie asked as we heard. "No can do. Besides you promised me that if I drive I could help you," he told her. "I know that and accept it but," she said before he interrupted her. "But we used my technological genius skills to figure out how we attach my monitor to the steering wheel in the first place," he asked.
"SO that's what he's up too," I realized now. "Yeah," Sean noticed. My phone soon rang with my ringtone. Annie and Manny looked in our direction but we ducked in time before they even saw us. I looked at the caller Id and saw Lisa's number. "It's Lisa," I said picking it up. "Hey before you get into the bad news, great news we found Annie," I told her. "You did? Perfect Lauren. Where does she have the wheel," Lisa asked. "Well she has it with Manny and their trying to drive it," Sean explained. "We saw it on the monitor," Dex told us. "Let me guess you said something positive, alarm came on and you were like then again," I asked. "Yeah," Dex replied.
"Look Manny we," Annie was saying. "Are now capable of driving the cheese capsule and tracking it right to our hands thanks to us monitoring on the monitor," Manny told her before Annie joined in. "Manny can I tell you one thing," she asked as we watched. "Which is," he wondered. "You are a terrible driver," she told him. Sean and I just gasped at that since Lisa and Dex were still on the line. "Oh no she didn't," I whispered sassed to Sean. "Oh yes she did it," he replied back. "Would you let me figure it out for once," he shot back. No wonder did I think, he was going to fail his driving test which honestly would be a problem.
(Other side of the park)
Lisa's P.O.V.:
"Okay Lauren what do we do to get the cheese over to us," I asked her on the phone. Instead of an answer I heard Lauren and Sean giggling. "What are you too laughing about," I asked. "Manny and Annie are arguing like a married couple and Manny doesn't want directions," Lauren laughed. "Yeah it's like in Cars with those mini vans," Sean cracked up. "Both of you focus," I said to them and they stopped. "Man this is flying out of control literally," Dex told me as we watched.
"Oh boy," he realized afterwards. "What happened," I asked. "We got a problem," I told her. "What problem," Lauren asked. "It's left orbit heading towards Earth as we speak," he told us. "Oh no," I told him. "Is there a way we can lower the gravity," Sean asked. "No it would crash and smash into a million pieces," Dex told us. "Oh boy," I told him.
(Lauren and Sean's side of the park)
Sean's P.O.V.:
"Okay that's it give me the wheel now," I heard Annie command to Manny. Lauren looked and so did I as she started to get the wheel back to normal. "Soon Manny the cheese will be mine including the paper," Annie told him with a smirk. My phone soon buzzed and I looked to see Hector calling. "It's your brother," I told Lauren. "Answer it," she whispered. "Hey any luck on finding Annie," I asked. "No we looked everywhere, you guys," Hector asked. "Lauren and I found her with Manny. She has the wheel," I told him. "Manny is siding with her," he asked. "Yep," I replied.
"I'm just hoping we find her soon because I am ready for cheese from outer space," Keith said on the line. "Keith," I groaned and so did Jess, Lauren and everyone. "What? I'm hungry," he said in defense and I just rolled my eyes. "Okay you two, it looks like the capsule is heading right towards them thanks to the instructions button, so what do we do," Lisa asked me. "Um," I thought. I honestly couldn't let Annie get away with the cheese that's for sure.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"I got an idea," I told the others. "You do," Sean asked me. "Of course, why don't you guys put your thoughts into the computer and maybe she can pick up on those instructions," I suggested. "Lauren, that's great," Lisa told me. "Perfect," Dex smiled. "Sean, let Hector know this might work," I told my friend. "On it," he answered and told Hector the news. Still from our hiding spot by the bush we watched as Annie began to navigate the machine over to them. "You think this will work," I asked Sean. "Only one way to find out," he told me as we watched.
I started to look into the sky for something and saw a little ball coming towards us. "Sean look," I whispered to him after he hang up with Hector. Sean looked and could see the capsule coming down. "That must be the capsule," I told him. "Cheese here we come," Sean said a little excited before he ducked in time again. "Lauren, Sean are you guys here spying on us," Manny asked looking for us. "Don't do it again dude," I told him.
"Sorry," he replied. "Wait a second, where is it," Annie asked. "You don't think," Manny asked. "We fell into a trap again," she told him. "They caught on," I told Lisa on the phone. We looked to see them move the capsule with a jerk. "It moved," I told Lisa. "Call Hector meet us at the basketball court," Lisa told us. "On it, Sean move," I told him as we ran from our hiding place. I dialed Hector's number. "Hector you may want to get out your football gloves. A cheese football is heading your way," I told him on the phone as we ran to the basketball court. Hector, Jess and Keith soon came behind us with Lisa and Dex as well.
Hector's P.O.V.:
"Well I think we can agree that plan A didn't work," I told them still panting. "True that," we agreed. "Guys capsule 12 o clock," Sean called out. We looked to see it right near Annie and Manny. "Okay one of us has to run to the cheese when it opens. Hector you got to do it," Lauren told me. "On it. I got the fastest feet and I can run," I told her getting ready to run.
Lauren's P.O.V.:
"Lauren," Keith called as he and Jess gave me the signal to show the cheese door was opening. "Hector door's opening! Go, go, go," I yelled to him as he began to run with his gloves on. Manny soon hurried next to him. I swear this is like one of the collision scenes in the movies for crying out loud. Hector soon reached the center and so did Manny but he pushed Hector to the side and got the cheese first. We groaned but something happened as Manny tripped then Hector got the cheese right into his gloved hands. "Yes," we cheered and high fived. Hector came running back to us with the cheese. "Alright Hector whoo hoo," I cheered and soon saw Annie trying to get away.
I cleared my throat and she stood still knowing the others were coming. "I believe the cheese and the wheel belong to Dex thank you," Jess sassed. Annie gave it back to them and was not happy I could tell you for sure. "Besides Annie, you learned a lesson today," I told her. "Which is," she asked. "Don't mess with the company," I told her. "And she can read about her adventure in the paper because I got the truth," Lisa told us. We smiled and soon felt happy that we got the cheese back to Dex.
"Thanks again guys for your help. I don't know what I would do without you," Dex told us. "No problem Dex as least we were able to help," Hector told him. "Thanks Lauren, you and Sean deserve some credit," he told us. "Oh shucks, what are friends for," I said to him. "Yeah all we know is we worked on it together," Sean said wrapping an arm around my shoulder. I soon looked at my watch. "Hey it's getting late and I know I have to finish math homework," I told Hector. "I got to get stuff done for tomorrow," Sean told him. "Oh, let's meet up at the diner tomorrow and we can surprise Dex's grandmother," I told them. "Perfect Lauren, see you guys tomorrow," Dex told us as he left which we did as well back to our houses for the night.
(Next day)
Lauren's P.O.V.:
School went by quickly for us as we made our way over to the diner happy that the homework is done for sure. Sean and I soon got in to see Lisa, Hector and Shock looking at the paper. "Hot off the presses," I asked. "You bet Lauren," Hector told me. I sat down with Sean next to Hector and Shock as we read the article. "Who would have thought that cheese made in outer space would be delicious as it sounds? Well, that is what Dexter Bluster Blooperment told me just yesterday as I wrote this article. I would have not imagined cheese like this if I could," I read the intro to Lisa's article. Sean peered over my shoulder for the next part.
"Even now after what happened yesterday thanks to Annie Scrambler steeling Dex's steering wheel that it came up with complications yet teamwork and friendship helped us in the end to solve the cheese scenario and get it to Earth," Sean read out loud. "I learned personally to understand time and take risks when need be when it comes to certain scenarios like this. I mean now we all know not to trust Annie anymore," Shock read.
"And that my friends is how the Electric Company along with Dex was able to rescue the fluffy, delicious cheese from space to be given to his grandmother on her birthday," Hector read the last sentence. He soon put down the paper back on the table. "Lisa, that was amazing," he told her. "I knew you could do it," I smiled as well. "Thanks Lauren and you too guys. I would never got the article done without you if we didn't have the scenario with Annie," Lisa told us. "Yeah but somethings happen for a reason you know," Sean shrugged. "Sean's right," I agreed. "Yeah," they agreed as well. I looked to see the cheese already on the tray.
"Is that the cheese," I asked. "Yep. Shock and I made the presentation when you guys were on the way here," Dex said standing by the door. Sean took a little piece from the tooth pick and soon ate it. "Dude this is amazing," Sean said chewing the cheese. "I know right," Dex smiled. "Let me try one," I said getting one from the tray. I took a bite and it melted in my mouth. "Oh man this is good," I said chewing. "It is isn't it," Hector told me. "Yeah, hey where are Jess and Keith," I asked looking around for them. "They went to get Dex's grandmother and they should be here any minute," Hector said looking at his watch.
"They're coming everyone places," Dex called looking out the window seeing them come over. "Go," I whispered as we walked out of the diner to see Jess and Keith with his grandmother. "Surprise," everyone said out loud as his grandmother was stunned. "No way," she said surprised seeing the cheese. "Happy birthday grandma," Dex told her. "Dex, did you make this," she asked. "Yep he did," I told her with a smile. "With some friend power of course," Sean said agreeing. "Yeah, well don't just stand there give it a try," Hector told her as she took a little bit. "Man that's good," she told him with a smile. "Yes," I said high fiving Sean as she liked it. I knew they would do it. Even them singing in the end. "Oh brother," Sean and I shrugged. Well, anything can happen for sure.
I'm bacccck! Sorry if I hadn't posted in a while, I been super busy but here it is guys! Stay tuned for a filler next week which will be about Vet's day at the school before Friends and Aunts or Trouble next week. So enjoy for now!
