Chapter 2: The Bubble Gum
MARGUERITE: Shut it, Osric.
OSRIC ( still laughing): Ok.
MARGUERITE( to Malone): So, what is it?
MALONE: Its a bubble gum. Its free, of course! When you chew it, if it becomes red, you win 20 other bubble gums, if it becomes blue, you win formula 6, and if it stays white, you just eat it, and thats it.
MARGUERITE: Excuse me for a moment.
MALONE: Sure.
MARGUERITE: Excuse me, huh?
MALONE: Yes.
MARGUERITE: Ok. Lets make a complete absurd situation: I take this bloody chewing gum.
MALONE: Ok.
MARGUERITE: Lets do something even more absurd: I chew it for 15 minutes, and it becomes blue.
MALONE: Ok.
MARGUERITE: So I would have to put it on your counter, full of saliva, and I'd win a formula 6, fat and fried?
MALONE: Yes, and for free.
MARGUERITE: And according to you superior brain, tell me when I would eat it.
MALONE: Now, I think...
MARGUERITE: Look. What I want, is only 1 cheeseburger and 1 orange juice. Do you understand that? I don't want a fried chiken ,medium fries, and buttered corn, whith a big Coca. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD DO WITH THAT, OK???!!!
MALONE: Well usually, people eat it.
MARGUERITE: Who? Who eats it? King Kong? Elvis Presley? Roxton?
MALONE: People.
MARGUERITE: People?
MALONE: Yes, people.
MARGUERITE: Listend. Can you do me a favor? Take back these bubble gums.
MALONE: I can't.
MARGUERITE: Just put them aside for the next T- Rex that comes, ok?
MALONE: I can't , really.I regret.
MARGUERITE: *sigh* Whatever. Just give them to me.
MALONE ( becoming cheery again): They are not bad. They have coconut taste. It really works this year. Will that be all?
MARGUERITE (not believing her eyes): Yes, its everything.
Marguerite payed, and went to sit with Osric. On the wall, there was a televison ( one of Challenger's invention) airing Food TV. It was asking questions if you knew the answer, you marked it on your napkin and went to show it at the counter. If you had the answer was right, you could win formula number 2. Presently, the question was ''What was Roxton's code name in the Great War?''
1. Little bird
2. Big bird
3. Parsifal
OSRIC ( whispering) : It was Parsifal.
MARGUERITE ( nervously): Oh! I didn't know! What makes you think I did? Why is every one looking at me?
OSRIC(seeing no one is looking at her): Right... Watever. I won't risk it.
Getting back to her senses, Marguerite opened the box of her cheeseburger, and on it was a fluorescent red stamp. It was written ''Congradulations! You just won another chhese burger!'' And smaller, it was written '' Go immediatly show this at the counter to recieve your price''.
MARGUERITE: Osric, we are going back to the treehouse NOW.
OSRIC: But I haven't started yet!
MARGUERITE: We will start another day. Lets go.
Leaving the food untouched, Marguerite and Osric walked to the door...But someone with a round nose as red as his hair stopped them....
