"Super, Epic, Jury Duty Adventure"
It was another typical day at the Aqua Teen's house. Master Shake was watching TV. Program after TV. program while Meatwad was playing a game with his dolls, Dewey and Vanessa. "Hey Meatwad!" snapped Shake from his couch, "Why don't you and your dumbass dolls play a little game I like to call 'man servant'?" "'Man servant'?" asked Meatwad. "How do I play that?" "Go fetch me some friggin' chips, MAN SLAVE!!" Shake then jumped from the couch and chased Meatwad into the kitchen where the little meatball immediately went into the cabinet and handed the angry milkshake a bag of chips. "See, wasn't that easy?" Shake said smugly. "You know, it was… I'm going to be a CHAMP at this game!"
At that moment, Frylock came in with the mail. "Oh boy, the mail came!" gleefully said Meatwad. "Outta my way 'Man Slave'! I'm expecting something" yelled Shake as he pushed Meatwad out of the way and yanked the letters out of Frylock's fry. As he looked at each letter, Shake became more and more angry and tossed them to the ground where they characteristically exploded. "Dammit!!" Shake yelled, "Where the Hell is my subscription renewal for 'Butt Frenzy'??!" After that little tantrum, Shake began to waddle off when Frylock soon spoke up. "Thankfully" he began, "I saved the really important letter, and hey Shake, it's for you as well as me!" Shake then zipped up to the floating fry box "Oooh, lemme' see!" he said as he grabbed the letter and glanced at it before handing it back to Frylock. "Not interested" mumbled Shake.
"Hey Frylock, what's that letter for?" Meatwad asked. "It's a notice, Shake and I have been summoned for jury duty." "Wow, I'd think it was cool if I knew what that is" "Don't bother Meatwad" interjected Shake, "it's just a trap where they dress you up all fancy and feed you to a scary monster!" Meatwad nearly jumped out of his meaty skin when he heard that. "NO IT'S NOT, SHAKE! SHUT UP!" yelled Frylock "Meatwad, jury duty is something you do when you're an adult. Shake and I are both going to court where we'll be listening to stories." "Oh, like when you read me 'Goldilocks' and 'Inky the Growth-Stunted Squid'?" asked Meatwad with great interest. "Um… yeah, you can say that." "No way Frylock, I ain't going there in a million years after the apocalypse!" Shake rudely snapped. "Ok" sighed Frylock, "I'm going to be the only one that's getting PAID then since I'm going." That got Shake's attention. "Paid?? Um, something just came up. I changed my mind, I WANT to go to jury duty now." Frylock just stared at the conceited milkshake. "Ok." He said.
The next day, Shake and Frylock were all dressed up and ready to go to the courthouse. "Oh boy, jury duty!" cheered Meatwad as he dragged a bag full of his belongings. "Oh oh Meatwad, you're too young. You're gonna have to stay home until we get back." "Aww…" moaned Meatwad. "Don't worry little buddy, when we get back, we'll be rich enough to buy you a BED!" "Hooray! I always wanted a bed, that grill is getting rather small for me if I do say so myself." "Ok then, we'll see you later" bid Frylock as he and Master Shake went out the door, leaving Meatwad all by his lonesome. Meatwad then grinned, "PARTY TIME!!!" he shouted, grabbing his dolls.
