Chapter 3

Grong and Marzipan

Grong woke up around 7:00. He was going to make a special breakfast for Marzipan. He made about 5 pancakes, a bowl of fresh fruit and fresh squeezed orange juice. Grong crept into her room. Marzipan never stirred. Grong had approximately 30 seconds. Her alarm would go off at 8:00.

The buzzing noise of the alarm woke up Marzipan. Using an invisible hand, she turned off the alarm and got up. Her eyes grew re-accustomed to the light and she saw Grong holding the tray and smiling. "Happy whatever!" He said and placed the huge breakfast on her bed.

"Oh Grong!" Marzipan exclaimed. Grong sat down on the bed right next to her. She was eating the breakfast quite quickly. At 8:15 she finished her breakfast and Grong took the tray away from her. He placed it on the floor. Marzipan had a grin on her face.

Grong leaned in, almost kissing close and said "Now, for dessert." They began making out. The kisses were more passionate now. Grong lived for them, they were a drug, and he was addicted to it. They also were poison. Grong knew that Homestar would still hang around with Marzipan. But now that wouldn't matter. The poison spread and they grew more intimate.

Little did they know that there was a familiar face at the window. Homestar was looking in the room and saw their situation. Or I should say he saw the last seconds of it. Fortunately, Homestar is an idiot and didn't think that anything was happening between them. Grong probably tripped and fell next to her. Homestar rang the doorbell. Grong answered it. His shirt was open and his muscular chest was exposed.

"Hi Homestar!" He said.

"Hey Chong! Is Mawzipan there?" He asked.

"Yeah, one second."

Grong hurried over to Marzipans room, and got her. Homestar was in the living room and was looking at some sculpture. He reached out to get a better look at it and it fell onto the floor and broke in half. He opened some random drawer and put the halves in there.

Marzipan walked in. Her hair was a mess. Grong followed her. Homestar walked over and said "I was in the neighborhood and was-"

Marzipan stopped putting her hair back to normal. "Homestar, you live across the street from me."

"Yeah I know. I came because you invited me for thanksgiving dinner and here I am!"

Marzipan finished her hair and said "Well, dinner isn't until five, why don't you go see a movie?"

Homestar was out the door before Marzipan finished the sentence. Marzipan looked at Grong lovingly. She got closer to him and he put his arm around her. "I already got the tofu turkey." He said. Then the day of cooking began.

A couple of hours later, Homestar returned. He found the key that was under the empty flowerpot in Marzipans front porch. He opened the door. Marzipan and Grong had already sat down and were making small talk.

Homestar sat down. "Sorry I'm late, they were showing the lord of the rings, all three of the movies at once." he said.

Marzipan said "Well, that's okay. Lets say grace."

"Okay, Grace!" Grong and Marzipan looked at Homestar angrily.

Marzipan said "I am thankful for all of the cute little creatures and being able to be close to those who love you and care for you."

Grong finished. "I also am thankful for being close to those who care for you and are able to love them and I am thankful for just life in general. Oh, and I am thankful that Strongbad hasn't attacked us lately."

"Hear hear!" Marzipan said.

They ate the imitation turkey and sat and drank wine around the fire. Around eight or so, Homestar suddenly fell asleep. Grong, taking advantage of the situation snuggled up with Marzipan and held her. They kissed and they talked. All of a sudden, the window broke and a masked figure stepped in through the hole.

Grong got up, standing defiantly as if he was asking to come and get him. The figure had a huge head and wore two boxing gloves. Grong knew who it was. He jumped up and attacked. He wrapped his legs against the figures neck and pulled him down. The character stood up just in time for Grong to punch him across the room. He was knocked against the wall, and fell unconscious.

Grong slowly crept over to see if it really was Strongbad. He pulled off the mask and all that was there was a robotic skull. It was a robot! Grong knew what happened and walked outside into the storm.

Strongbad was crouched behind the bushes with a remote control in his hands. Actually, it looked like a gameboy. Strongbad said "What the? CRAP!"

He turned around and saw Grong standing in front of him. Grong picked him up and punched him in the face, knocking him a couple of feet away from Grong. Grong stepped forwards. "This is your last chance. Next time, I won't hold back. Leave me alone, or suffer the consequences."

Strongbad got up and stumbled into the snowy night. Fearing what would happen.
