Chapter 3: Eat or be Eaten

Al was setting traps and puting his food as bait, "one cupcake, two cupcake, three cupcake." He then went and sat in the bushes to wait for his brother to wander into the trap.

'Wow, cupcakes on a plate that's lucky, wait at least I think it's lucky but I'm too hungry to think clearly. ' Ed thought to himself. 'I'll go and eat the cupcakes and then I can remember if it's suppose to be lucky or not.'

"Yes Brother, go, go to the cupcakes I have a trap set up to capture you!" Al accidently shouted. Al put his hands over his mouth when he realized he had not only said it out loud but screamed it.

"What?" Ed walked onto the trap and was caught. "Hahahahaha, you fail for my trap, hahaha." Al came out of the bushes. "Al what are you doing? Let me go!" Ed demanded trying to break free,

"No, my food you're not getting out." Al told him rubbing his hands together. Ed stopped struggling and stared at his brother. "Um, Al you do know you aren't suppose to eat your own kind?" "Yes Brother, I'm decided to become a cannibal."

"Wait, what about that whole suitcase that had all that food in it?" "Oh I used the rest of the food to set traps." Now Ed was confused. "So wait, you used up all your food just to set traps?" "Yes, except this one last hot dog." Al took out a hot dog.

Then Al started to set another trap and put the hot dog on the ground. "Now, I definitely can catch you Brother, everyone near you is a trap with food on them, so there's no where you can run, I will catch you Brother!"

"Um, Al you already caught me," Ed pointed out. "Oh, oh yeah, I guess since I haven't eaten in like five days I'm can't remember right." Al said.

Then a fox came by and was trying to still some food from the trap and was caught. "Yes even more food!" Al clapped.

Later.

Al was eating the fox he had caught. "Is that, the mother fox?" Ed asked still in the trap. "Um, no I don't think so because I saw her early with her babies before I caught this one." Al said still eating.

"Can I have some, I'm really, really hungry Al." "No Brother, you're going to be dinner tomorrow." Al kept eating.

"But, Al if you plan to eat me, you need to fatten me up. I'm skin and bones, you can't eat me if I'm this skinny." "That's why I have those three cupcakes in there, they have extra sugar in them." Al said.

"I can't get fat on three!" "Well, let's see maybe you can." Ed was starting to get scared. 'What if Al is really going to eat me.' "Al, why do you want to eat me?" Ed asked.

"Because you knocked the nachos out of my hands and made them land on the ground and not be good anymore Brother!" Ed sighed. "Look Al, I'm sorry about the nachos, I was just upset I don't know what came over me."

"Sorry isn't good enough Brother!" "They were just stupid nachos, get over it already!" Al gasped. "T-they weren't just nachos, the were the best kind of nachos and no nacho is stupid."

The next day.

"I-I'm s-so hungry, need f-food." Al was holding his stomach. He then stopped some chicken noddle soup. "Soup!" He ran over and grabbed the soup. He then realized it was one of his traps.

"Now you're gonna have to tell me how we break free from these traps." Ed said. "I don't know how to break free Brother, all I know is how to set them and put bait out. I only got the fox out because I cut him out but I lost the stick I was using as a knife!"

"That's it. I still have the knife that I was given!" Ed took the knife out of his pocket. He started to cut the trap. Soon he was free.

"Now, Al if I release you, you have to promise me we'll talk things over and try to forgive each other." "I don't know."

"And when I release you I can give you nachos." "Deal!" Ed when and cut Al out of his trap.

"Where's the nachos." Al looked around trying to find them. "Here you go Al." Ed handed him some nachos. Al ate them quickly. Then suddenly started to become sane again.

"Oh my gosh, Brother I was going to eat you!" "It's okay Al, we both lost it and were about to kill each other but didn't, I forgive you." "And I forgive you to Brother."

The End.
