Chapter 2: Legolas and the Coke Machine
The instructor stands beside a coke machine.
"This, my friend, is a coke machine." He pauses for unnecessary dramatization. "It produces fizzy beverages of your choice."
Legolas asks, "Are those buttons on the side like a calculator?" He gets a wild look in his eyes as he advances toward the machine.
"No no no!" exclaims the instructor, "By pushing these buttons, you actually GET something."
Legolas asks, "What do you get?"
The instructor holds his head in his hands and looks up. "Why me?!" he says to the air.
Legolas goes up to the machine, kneels down, and asks the machine nicely, "Please may I have a drink.?"
Passerbies ask the instructor, "Is he proposing?"
" No!!" the instructor tells Legolas, "You sound like Oliver Twist!"
Legolas looks confused. "Who's Oliver Twist?"
"Never mind." Says the instructor, "In order for it to work, you must appease it."
Legolas begins to dance in a circle around the machine singing the "I Love You" song from Barney.
Barney walks by. "I see you watch my show! Here's my card. Call me. You just might land a spot in my show." He walks off.
Legolas stares at the card. "What's this?" he asks as he starts to nibble on the paper.
"Give me that!" says the instructor, "That might be my one chance to get out of here. It's not much though."
Legolas resumes dancing again.
"Stop!" yells the instructor, "You need to give it something to appease it!"
Legolas thinks for a minute than says, "My bow?"
As he starts to take it off, the instructor says, "No! Something shiny!"
"My earrings?"
The instructor shakes his head and fishes around in his pocket.
"Put this in that slot."
Legolas stares at the instructor like he's the dumb one.
"Well you should have said a quarter in the first place!"
The instructor grumbles as a dark cloud starts to form over his head.
Legolas tries to put the coin in a crack in the machine.
"That slot!!" The instructor points to the real slot. "Now push ONE button."
Legolas pushes the coke button.
*Kchunck* The coke falls to the bottom.
"Ahhh!!!" Legolas yells. He jumps 10 feet up and 5 feet back. He regains his composure, puts away the arrow he pulled out from his quiver when he was in the air, and pulls another arrow out from the coke machine that he instinctively fired. He cautiously approaches the machine, and brings out the soda.
The instructor, (already worn out from the previous chapter and half of this one), says, "Ok, this, is a soda."
Legolas pokes and praws at both ends, twirling it around in his fingers.
"Is there even something in it?" he asks, shaking it.
The instructor grabs the can from the blonde elf.
"You open it like this!" he says, pulling the tab.
A blast of fizzing soda shoots out from the can and into his face.
"Aaaggghhh!!" he exclaims.
Legolas stares at the soaking instructor and says, "I guess that was a bad one huh?."
The instructor throws down the can, and yells a stream of inappropriate words that we are not allowed to utter on this computer.
"That's it! Get someone else to do this job! I quit!"
The instructor starts running down the street.
Coincidently, a huge semi truck was going the exact opposite way the instructor was running.
"Ooohhh!" Says Legolas to no one in particular, "I want to learn about that!"
