Three: Wasted Eggs And Murderous Waffles
"How about I fry up some more bacon," Delia suggested. She went into the kitchen.
Pikachu jumped up onto the table. It picked up and handful of eggs and headed off the table.
"So, Ash, you do get out of your mother's house at times, right?" Tracey asked.
Ash nodded, and accidentally hit Pikachu in the head with his spoon again. Pikachu was knocked off the table. The eggs hit the floor, now uneatable.
"Ash!" Misty cried. "You just hit Pikachu again!"
"Oh no!" Ash said. Pikachu was lying on the floor. Mr. Mime swept away the eggs lest they were recovered and eaten and sickened someone.
Ash bent down. "I'm really sorry, Pikachu," he said. Pikachu just stared at Ash for a minute, then went to its plate and ate some of its bacon like nothing had happened.
"This waffle looks good," Ash heard Gary say. Quickly he sat up.
"Don't touch that waffle!" Ash yelled, just before Gary took a bite out of it.
Gary glared at him. "Why not, Ash?" he demanded.
"Because, I just said I was going to eat it!" Ash protested. "See, I even have syrup on my plate and everything!"
"Whatever," Gary said. He cut off a piece of the waffle and ate it.
"Stop!" Ash roared. "I said I have dibs on the last waffle!" he fumed.
"Too late, Ashie Boy, 'cause I just took a bite out of it!" Gary taunted. "Ha ha!"
Ash lunged at Gary, butterknife in hand. No one would take his waffle!
"Ash, do you wanna chill?" Misty said from her seat beside Professor Oak. That stopped Ash, and he slumped in his chair angrily as Gary ate the waffle triumphantly.
Delia returned to the table, unaware that her son had threatened assault with a deadly weapon, and placed a steaming plate of fresh bacon on the table. "Bacon!" she sang.
"Ah! It looks delicious, Delia!" Professor Oak said as he grabbed five strips for himself. Pikachu jumped up on the table and, giving Ash a wide berth, grabbed two strips of the new bacon and jumped back onto the floor.
"Mo-om! Gary stole my waffle!" Ash tattled.
"Dear, I have plenty of waffle mix left. I could have made you some more," Delia told him.
Gary smirked at Ash as he took a big bite of the stolen waffle.
"Finally! I get some bacon!" Misty said. She took a strip and settled it onto her plate. Then she noticed Ash's hand snaking toward the new bacon and slapped it.
"Ow!" Ash cried. He jerked back his now sore hand and rubbed it.
Misty brandished her fork at him. "Don't even think about stuffing this batch under your shirt, you pig," she warned. "And if you want some bacon, eat the seventy-five strips you tried to smuggle off the table!"
Gary laughed at her comment.
Ash whirled and glared at him. "Eat your waffle, you fiend!" he yelled.
"Ash, no yelling at the table," Delia reminded as she passed Brock the salt.
Ash slumped in his seat. "Sorry," he sulked.
End chapter! I know, kinda short, but there's more to come, so I'll make it up! And in the next chapter...
Things get dangerous when Pikachu still doesn't get its eggs...
The eggs fell onto the floor, and Mr. Mime instantly swept them away. Pikachu got mad and charged up.
Everyone shrank back. "Oops," Professor Oak mumbled. Even Mr. Mime stopped sweeping and stared as Pikachu charged up more and more.
That's in the next chapter, "L'eggo My Eggs"!
