Chapter 5: Gramma Nut

Sora and Riku found a very colorful path with alternating tiles of red, purple, yellow, blue, orange, and green. They'd been walking for about half an hour and finally came upon a small house. It was extremely shiny and had a very light shade of brown. As they approached the door, thunder boomed loudly, predicting the onset of a storm despite the clear blue sky.

"Is it going to storm?" asked Riku, bewildered as there was not a single cloud in sight.

Sora smiled sheepishly, "Sorry…that was my stomach…"

"WHAT?"

"I'm hungry… I wonder if this house is made of food."

"You could've eaten some plums from that tree." Sora glared at him, but proceeded to take a bite out of the house.

"'ish is wawicious!" he exclaimed between bites.

"Most people consider it rude to talk with food in their mouth," stated Riku.

Sora shrugged and took another bite.

"Hey you kids, get off of my lawn!" An elderly woman in a blue bonnet and matching dress came running at them with a broomstick. She was very agile for her age, and before Sora and Riku had time to react she was upon them.

She froze when she saw Sora chewing a piece of her house.

"Did you take a bite of my house?"

"It's peanut brittle, isn't it?"

She cocked her head and stared him in the eyes, "Umm…Sweetheart, this here house is made of wood. Oak, to be exact."

Sora's mouth dropped open, spewing its contents. Now that she mentioned it, the flavor was a bit off for peanut brittle…

"You're not joking are you?" asked Riku, trying to hold back laughter.

"Why in the worlds would I live in a house made out of peanut brittle? That's not practical. Now, how would you boys like to come into my lair-I mean, house… to eat some real food?"

"That would be nice…" said Sora with a wince as a splinter dug into the roof of his mouth.

Everything was set to go. Billy had gotten Furbina set up after a brief meeting, and the other parts of his plans were falling into place as well. She was a very reluctant minion, as he'd had to kidnap her and was now forcing her to do his bidding if she ever wanted to go home. Once Superman and Batman were out of the way worlds domination would be a breeze. Also, he'd hired some of the natives to take care of Wonderwoman and that humanoid dog dressed up in a lantern costume, and he'd had Donald sent to Candy Castle.

His to-do list was set and ready to be put into motion.

First, he would take over his home world of Candy Land…starting with the accursed high school located on the shore of the Ice Cream Sea. He'd always had the urge to burn that building where he'd suffered for four years.

After this world was his, he would move onto Destiny Islands and conquer several other small worlds before moving on to the big ones like Twilight or Traverse Town. Things were going perfectly…

Sora's eyes widened to the size of cheeseburgers when he saw the glorious spread of food on the table in Gramma Nut's dining room. There was a large amount of various peanut butters, peanut brittle, and about anything else he could ever dream of with some kind of peanut or other nut in it.

"Do we get to eat all of this?!" asked Sora.

"No…I just brought you in so you could stare at it," stated Gramma Nut.

"All right!" he exclaimed as he reached for a piece of peanut brittle. His hand was immediately whacked with a broomstick.

"I wasn't being sarcastic."

"So you really did just bring us in here so we could stare at all of this food?" asked Riku dejectedly. Although he didn't show the same symptoms as Sora, he was quite hungry.

"Pretty much, yeah. It was a pretty diabolical plan wasn't it? Mwahahahahahaha!"

"I think Gramma Nut is a bit nutty…" mumbled Sora.

"I'm not hard of hearing, ya know. Anyway, you two are superheroes; go find your own food!"

"Umm…okay…" said Riku. An awkward silence followed.

However, it was short lived as a frantic scream soon sliced through the air, "HELP ME! Like, please!"

"This sounds like a job for Superman!" exclaimed Sora. Without so much as a glance at Riku, he burst out the front door, but was stopped when his bright red cape got stuck to the door knob. Riku rolled his eyes and followed him outside, setting him free from his bonds.

A miniature train set was set up in Gramma Nut's small garden, and Furbina was tied down to the tracks with some small rope. A bright orange train was beginning to make the loop around, heading straight for her.

"What the heck?" asked Riku. Somewhat bewildered…this was really, really lame. He walked over to Furbina and bent down to pick her up, but before he could reach her a glowing streak whisked by him. The radioactive Furby had arrived. He quickly untied Furbina and swung off on a vine with her in tow. However, this was not before the trap was activated that was originally meant for Sora and Riku. The vine snapped and Furby and Furbina were sucked into a trap door that opened up in the fertile soil.

"What now?" asked Sora. "I don't think Gramma Nut wants us back… and I'm still hungry."

"Uh… I guess we just keep walking. I'm sure there's a McDonald's somewhere."

"Sounds like a plan!" The super duo returned to the colorful path, leaving the house of Gramma Nut behind.

Furby and Furbina tumbled through a long, dark shoot landing with a hard thud on a conveyor belt which deposited them in the Peppermint Forest. Billy rushed to them, but his face darkened to a deep shade of red… deeper than his natural color, of course.

"What are you doing back here?"

"I-I rescued-."

"You bumbling IDIOT! Superman and Batman were supposed to rescue her so they would fall into my trap. That's why that crazy old lady was supposed to keep them in her house until things could get set up!"

"So, do I still get to go home?" asked Furbina hopefully.

"No, I still need you." Billy stalked off in a rage.

"S-sorry a-b-bout that…" muttered Furby, suddenly overcome with a case of stammering.

Furbina sighed, "I don't blame you… I'll get out of here eventually." She followed after Billy, leaving Furby to his own thoughts.

"She actually noticed my existence!" he exclaimed joyfully.

"Umm…I can hear you, ya know…"

"Oh…uh…I-I-I was t-talking about uh…this rock!" Furbina rolled her eyes and continued walking.

Darn…why am I such a loser when she's around?

da marshmallow: (sweat) I almost completely forgot about updating this fic today...heh… Welp, here it is or I guess there it was since if you're reading this you've probably already read the chapter… Nevermind, I hope I'm not weirding anyone out… Anywhoo, reviews are always appreciated so drop one off on your way out! :)
