Cornelius in Waffle Town
Chapter 2- Cornelius Meets Luke and Luna
Hey again, we're having fun writing this, so hence the quick updates! Thank you Tiffany59 for being Cornelius's first reviewer. It means a lot. Okay well here we go for chapter 2. Bring on the pain.
Cornelius: Why me lord?
Me: *Kicks his butt and sends him flying back in again*
After being kicked back into Waffle Town Cornelius landed in front of the carpenter's store.
He hauled himself up off the ground and dusted himself off. He fixed his moustache and sleeked his hair back into its usual slimy, frankly disgusting state.
Cornelius: Hey!
Me: I am just Sayin'
Cornelius began to walk towards the large log cabin and heaved open the heavy door. As he entered Dale looked up from his paper work and snorted.
'Haven't seen you round these parts before! What's your name son?' He said.
The sight of the large burly man, who I must say does look quite intimidating, Cornelius became a quivering bundle of nerves as per usual.
'C-C-Cornelius…but you can call me Corndog!'
The Carpenter's large eyebrows knitted together as he tried to figure out this incredibly twisted man.
Cornelius: Again…Hey!
Me: Hey…I helped create you and if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here right now so put a sock in it and get on with your comedy you big nerd!
'Well umm…Corndog, it's nice to meet ya. I'm Dale!'
'P-p-pleased to meet you…sir.'
At that moment the door flew open and in came Luke swinging an axe around his head.
Cornelius began to scream and fell to the floor, curling up into a tight ball.
Luke froze and glared down at the inspector confusedly.
'Jeeze dude, what the hell is your problem?' He said. Cornelius gingerly opened one eye and sat up slightly.
'Can you please just p-put the axe d-down! It's SUCH a safety hazard!'
Luke glanced at his axe and nodded.
'Sure!' He said 'If ya say so!'
Just as Cornelius stood up Luke dropped the axe on Corndog's toe.
Cornelius began screeching again and hopping around on one foot.
'Ooo, sorry dude let me help you.' Luke said approaching Corndog.
'NO!' He screamed 'Just stay away from me!' As he hopped he pulled a hazard sticker out of his pocket and stuck it to Luke's forehead.
Luke peeled it off and read it, there was then a long pause.
'Awesome!' Luke said grinning and nodding.
'Wow!' Cornelius said 'Your fashion sense is…quite something! Do you think I would suit a bandanna like that? Would it make me look…hottt?'
Luke raised an eyebrow.
'Ehh…sure. You should totally get one.'
Cornelius grinned.
'And those boots…and those gloves…and those incredibly tight jeans!'
'Hey dude, lay off! You're kinda freaking me out!'
'Where did you get them?' Cornelius said almost jumping on Luke.
'Eh…Shelly's tailor shop in town…here you should go,' Luke opened a drawer on a large dresser across from where they stood and pulled out a map. 'There ya go. Have a nice day.' Luke picked up his axe and retreated back to the woods.
Cornelius began to limp towards town. As he walked past Maple Lake a raccoon jumped out of the hedge and bit off his ear.
Cornelius began to scream and stuck hazard stickers all over the racoon and then carried on limp running towards the tailors with his ear tightly in his grasp. On his way he stopped of at the clinic.
He ran up to Irene at the desk and began to cry.
'Please…oh please sew my ear back on!' He pleaded.
Irene looked at him strangely.
'What was it this time Cornelius?' She said in her droning voice.
'This wild racoon savagely abused me!'
Irene shook her head and began to mutter to herself.
'Whatever next!' She said leading him into the emergency room where she carefully stitched his ear back together.
On his way out he made sure to quickly stick a hazard sticker on Irene.
He then carried on to the tailors.
As he entered a small, elderly lady appeared out from behind a rack of clothes.
'Oh, hello there dear. I'm Shelly how may I help you?'
Cornelius wasn't threatened by the woman, in fact for once on his visit he felt almost safe.
'I'm looking for a flaming bandanna, you know like the guy's from the carpentry shop.
Shelly nodded.
'Ah yes, we stock them just for Luke so I'm sure he wouldn't mind me selling you one. Here you are dear.' She said lifting one out from under the counter and handing it to him.
He bowed graciously.
'I would also like a pair of thigh high boots, a pair of fingerless leather gloves and a pair of super tight jeans please.'
Shelly rolled her eyes and disappeared off into the store. She returned after several minutes with his order.
Cornelius jumped for joy and put them all on. He began admiring himself in the mirror.
'Oh yes I look…how do they say it? Bad ass!'
Shelly just laughed.
'Say, do these boots make my legs look fat?' He said.
'No...' She said looking confused.
'So…do they make me look manly then?'
Shelly giggled.
'I guess so.'
'So you like my nice manly legs then!'
'Erm…stop flirting with me please.' Shelly said beginning to blush.
'Well…do you like my gloves then?' He said moving his fingers about admiring them.
'They're lovely but are you sure you wouldn't rather have a nice pair of long leather ones?'
'I'm not in the woman's institute!' Corndog scoffed. 'And what about the bandanna?'
'Are you sure you wouldn't like bunnies instead of flames?' Shelly said trying to contain laughter.
Cornelius fell to the floor writhing around and crying.
'I don't like bunnies!' He wailed 'They remind of those EVIL raccoons that severed my ear from my head!'
Then Luna suddenly appeared out of the kitchen.
'Hey…who's the dude that fancies himself as a bit of a Luke then?' She said sniggering.
'Luna! Excuse my grand daughter, she can be quite outspoken sometimes.'
Luna just rolled her eyes and carried on teasing. Cornelius caught a glimpse of Luna out of the corner of his eye and turned to her.
'Hey…you're pretty small! Does Santa know you're here?'
The seamstress began to fumigate, her face turning beat red.
'WHAT did you just say to me?' She snapped planting her hands firmly on her hips.
'Oh, does your big hair affect your hearing? I said you are small!' Cornelius felt rather pleased with his sudden confidence.
'That's no way to speak to me you big douche!'
Corndog gasped and took a step back.
'I am not a douche!' He said feeling himself begin to quiver.
'Are too, you big Douche!'
Cornelius began to jump up and down and whinge like a child.
'Stop calling me that shortstop!' He said. He then stuck safety hazard stickers all over Luna.
'Argh, that's it!' She screamed grabbing a box of needles.
Cornelius began to scream and run around the shop whilst Luna chased after him throwing the needles at him like darts which stuck in his back like a porcupine.
Cornelius then ran out of the shop and up the street to the clinic. He burst through the door screaming.
'The devil lives in the tailor shop!'
Perry was walking around making a scary grinding noise with a bowl making medicine which made Cornelius very nervous causing him to start screaming again. He stuck hazard stickers all over Perry and ran out again.
As he ran back towards the carpenters he saw the panda police arresting the raccoon.
'Okay, you're coming with me buster!' The panda said throwing the animal into a cage and marching off.
When Cornelius finally reached the carpenters he saw a young boy around the age of 17 with blonde hair and freckles fighting with an out of control fish.
Cornelius tried to help him but ended up being slapped across the face by it. Cornelius then stuck stickers all over the fish and ran to a corner behind the carpenters where he broke down in tears.
Thanks for reading.
