The four of them leaned over the flaming dessert and prodded it with a stick from one of the on-crack science projects that were cluttering the area.
"Ouch, don't do that! I am not really a flaming dessert. It was a curse put on me by an evil space pirate who had a run in with my dad, Captain Kirk," said the odd sugary treat.
"Oooooh," the others let out a sigh because they couldn't eat it.
"Eat me? What a preposterous idea," the dessert shot a warning glance at the narrator. I'm not sure how she did it, being a dessert, but she pulled it off nicely.
"Well, we'll be happy to help lift the curse, if you want to accompany us to the Pearly Gates," SuZ offered.
"You mean…kill me?!?!?!?!?!?" the dessert was taken a back.
"No. No, the Pearly Gates is Daigle's dentist's office," she explained. "Right Daigle?"
He didn't notice because he was munching a bagel and trying not to stare at Goody Itchy.
"Oooh, let me have one," Su wasn't quite over not getting to eat her new friend.
"I have Jesus, TaeBo, and cow flavored bagels."
"I'll have Jesus," SuZ broke out into the pizza bagel bites commercial song.
"Well, I suppose we should properly introduce ourselves before we leave," said Goody Itchy.
"No, we heard your introduction like five times in the last chapter," said a munching Su.
"I mean our real names," said Itchy, slightly perturbed at being reminded of that unfortunate incident involving the repetition of their poem.
"I am Saru, and this is Em," Goody Scratchy cut in.
"Emmmmm, what a nice name," Daigle began to drool.
"Awwww," said the dessert, Su, and Saru in unison.
The unlikely pair began to turn red….very red.
