VT: Veggies Around the World VII

by Ek01

(“Agent Junior”) In the final part of the “Around the World” series, the veggie kids get taken along for the ride on an action-packed spy mission across Europe with a super deadly...yet super funny female secret agent. Meanwhile, Bob and the other veggies stay with the French Peas’ eccentric parents in their mansion—on Big Idea’s “Preachin’ Across Europe” tour.

15. Captured!

Dark clouds began to form outside as the plane flew with the kids inside the cargo unit—headed for an unknown cargo area in Paris, France. While Laura, Junior, and Percy were trying to find a way to get out, Annie felt that the situation was very dark.

"OKAY, COME ON, WE CAN DO THIS!!" Junior exclaimed, grabbing Percy. "AGAIN!"

"ON THE COUNT OF TWO!" Laura exclaimed, grabbing Percy as well.

"ONE..." the kids said in unison. "TWO!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!"

The kids ran, carrying Percy and ramming him into the bars of the cage they were trapped inside. This did nothing to the bars, but Percy was feeling kinda woozy.

"Put him down, you guys, it's not gonna work.." Annie glumly replied.

"Why not?" Junior asked.

"Percy said he had a thick skull!" Laura replied.

"...I'LL HAVE THE SEA BASS, GARÇON!" Percy said, eyes looking swirly, before passing out on the ground.

"No, I mean...I don't think we're gonna get out of this one, guys..." Annie replied with much worry in her tone of voice. "This is probably the most dangerous thing we've ever done."

"DON'T SAY THAT!" Junior hollered. "You're acting like we won't be able to see Mr. Bob or Mr. Larry again!"

"We probably won't." Annie frowned.

"No, Annie!" Laura replied. "Wasn't it always you to tell us that we could make it out of a tough scrape like this one? That as long as we stuck together, we would survive?"

"Yeah.." Annie thought.

"AND, we've been chased down by wild beasts, but you've always held us together! You're like glue!" Junior replied, hugging the leek girl.

The rain outside the airplane cleared up just as Laura and Percy came to hug Annie as well. Annie smiled, loving the warm embrace of her friends.

"I guess you're right..." Annie said. "But how do we—"

"Ssh..." Junior said, pushing the others to the side of the cage.

A large gourd walked past the kids, earplugs in his head, not even noticing that Junior was able to quickly swipe his eyes in the quick second he passed by.

"Let's see here..." the asparagus boy said, flipping through the keys. "Eenie meenie minie mo, get us the heck outta here, yo!"

Junior was able to find the correct key, which unlocked the cage!

"Now, lets go you guys!" He smiled. "We got us a concert to crash..."
