Ashley and I were relieved, to say the least. It seemed the mango torture had finally ended. We hadn't been visited by little mango freaks--or whatever you prefer to call them--in weeks. Could that be the end of it?
No. Of course not.
As I looked up from my studies and out the screen door, I saw Jon Kelley.
"That's Jon…"
"Yeah, I get it," I remarked, getting up gruffly, before she could finish.
I walked over to the door where Jon Kelley was peering in.
"Oh, Hannah. So nice to see you. I'm here because I have a proposition for you and Ashley. May I come in?"
"…I guess…"
Ashley walked into the living room just as Jon stepped into the house.
"You…you're the host of the Mole. What are you doing here?"
"I have a bit of a deal for you."
"Yeah? Well what is it?"
I sat back down at the table; Ashley and Jon did the same.
"Okay, here it is. We can't finish the story until you eat this mango."
"Why not?"
"I don't know! I didn't write the script. I just get paid to read it. So eat it, or I'll have to force you to."
"Hahahahaha!"
Just then, in the middle of our laughter, in walked all of the Mole contestants. First thing I noticed: Craig had a stuffed pepper in his hand.
What could that be for?
"That's Marcie Ciscel, Liz Cain, Ali Sonoma, Bobby O'Donnell, Victoria Garza, Kristen Willeumier, Alex Jacobs, Clay Cauley, Paul Grassi, Nicole Williams, Mark Lambrecht, Craig Slike, and Jon Kelley from the Mole…and a mango!"
How she managed to get that all out without even taking a breath in between amazed me, but she did.
I still wondered why Craig was holding a 'mango.' A rotten one by the looks of it. The foul smell too. I felt like I'd vomit any second.
You know, perhaps that was the same mango that had started all this nearly a year ago. Who knows…
My thoughts were interrupted by Jon.
"What'll it be, Girls?"
"Uhh…"
Just then Craig grabbed me and attempted to shove the mango down my throat.
"No! I'm a vegetarian!"
"So? Why would I care?"
My chances of getting out of this seemed slim. Very slim. That is, until I heard a cry in the distance.
"SAVE THE VEGETARIAN!"
Suddenly Alex went flying through the air, grabbing the mango. I was saved! Ashley, however, was not so lucky. Alex took the rotten, disgusting, mango and shoved it down her throat, forcing her to swallow it.
All the Mole contestants, lead by my dad--whom walked in shortly after Ashley ate the mango--struck some crazy pose and looked towards Ashley, stating "Presto, change-o…you ate your mango!"
"Okay, we're done here."
Yes! It was finally over!

A/N: Hahahaha! I didn't have to eat the gross mango! Poor Ashley…hehe. But hey, it was her idea to have Craig stuff it down her throat. And the thing about the crazy pose. So yeah… Review if you liked it. Actually, even if you didn't like it I'm expecting a review (probably won't get one though…except from Michael).
