12. Le Romance de Concombre et Rhubarbe

Amidst all the chaos of searching for the children, Larry and Petunia decided to stop at a small Parisian bistro for a romantic evening together.

"Oh, Petunia..." Larry sighed. "Now that we've been married for...a year...I just don't know if we're ever gonna get these nice moments alone anymore..."

"It's alright, Larry." Petunia replied. "Loud or quiet, we've got to cherish these great moments together—that's what makes a relationship so worth while."

"You're right..." Larry replied. "Hey, there's the food! Mercí beaucoup, garçon!" Larry said in perfect French, tipping the onion waiter with a few Francs.

Larry and Petunia had gotten some chicken cordon bleu with a light salad, along with a baguette and two glasses of white wine.

"Bon appetit." The onion waiter told the two lovebirds.

"Bone apple tea to you too, dude!" Larry replied, smiling as the waiter gave him a strange look.

There was a bit of a pause before the waiter went back to serving other vegetable customers.

"Well," Larry said, raising his wine glass to Petunia. "Here's to those moments that are worth livin'!"

"Cheers." Petunia and Larry both said, clinking their wine glasses together.

"Hey..." Larry said, picking up the baguette. "You maybe wanna.."

"Oh, I know what you're thinking.." Petunia replied. "But I'm not doin' it."

"Come onnnn." Larry replied, moving a little closer. "It's cute couples things!"

"Alright." Petunia replied, picking up her end of the breadstick.

The cucumber and rhubarb ate their respective sides of the bread, until they reached the middle...ending in a kiss.

"HEYYYYYY!!" Came a somewhat rude, child girl voice. "MISTER LARRY!!"

"Libby?!" Larry asked, averting his gaze from Petunia and ending the breadstick kiss.

It was indeed Libby. She was now wearing a beret and holding a French flag. The little girl began walking towards Larry and Petunia...across the tables, knocking over the pristine, white tablecloths and flower vases.

"WHAT'CHA DOIN' THAT LADY AND THE TRAMP THING FOR?!" Libby hollered. "You're not dogs! Anyway, BOB SAYS THE CONCERT'S STARTIN' IN A HOUR, WE GOTTA GET OVER THERE!"

Larry and Petunia looked at each other and chuckled.

"See?" Petunia asked. "Moments to live for, even if hey get loud.."

Larry smiled and kissed Petunia a second time, then the two hopped away with the little asparagus girl.
