Fruits and Vegetables

You may be wondering, "What the hell is this shit? I didn't pay for internet just to read bullshit like this!" Actually, I think you may like this story. It combines everyone's favorite stories about fruits and vegetables. Talking vegetables and talking animals. What kindergartener wouldn't love a story like this? Though, kindergarteners probably shouldn't read this. It's got bad language. Done with my babbling. I'm starting to act like Shigure.(hehe)
One fine summer day, Tohru and Shigure were home alone. Tohru had gotten sick the day before, so she was staying away from school until she felt better. Shigure was there to keep an eye on her.
"Tohru, do you need anything?" Shigure asked gently. He didn't want her to worry. She didn't need to get even sicker than she already was.
"I wouldn't want to put you through all the trouble of taking care of me," Tohru replied truly.
"No trouble at all! What do you need?"
"Nothing right now, but thank you anyway."
"Well, alright, but you can tell me if you do need anything later. I have to go answer the door."
Shigure rushed downstairs after hearing the knock. He swung the door open only to see Hatori standing in the doorway.
"HATORI!" Shigure had been waiting all day to see Hatori's face.
"Calm down. If I don't get time away from the main house, I think that I would most likely commit suicide." Hatori said this calmly, although he was talking about a serious matter. "Where's Tohru?"
"Upstairs. She's studying...voluntarily. Strange isn't it?"
"I'm going up there. She needs her shots. She hasn't seen me in six months." He headed up the stairs.
"I'll make tea."
Upstairs, Hatori slid back the door, and in doing so, he saw Tohru quietly sitting on her bed, studying.
"Tohru," Hatori said.
"Oh, hello, Hatori."
"You need another check-up."
"I-" she was cut off by a shouting from downstairs.
"Hatori! There's a talking vegetable on the counter!"
"I'll go check on him."
As soon as Hatori came down the stairs, he ran into a waltzing potato. He heard singing.
"If you like to talk to tomatoes, if a squash can make you smile. If you like to waltz with potatoes up and down the produce aisle! Have we got a show for you."
Hatori knew the theme. He had just finished watching a midnight marathon of the show with Hiro. It was attack of the Veggietales.
"Shigure, gather them up and put them in a bag. they probably can't fight their way out of one."
He heard a pea say, "Go back to your own country, you Rubarbarian!" That came from an episode called "Duke and the Great Pie War."
"Stay out of my business!" Hatori knew that from another episode which he couldn't remember the name of.
I think this is a good place to end Ch. 1. What do you think? Oh, yeah, what do you think of the Veggietales Fruits Basket thing? It might be a little too funny, though.
