Meet The Robinsons
Superhero Blues
Chapter 3: Animal Food
Hey everyone! By the way, I'm typing in this new cool new laptop so that way I don't have to hog the computer from my parents! So this is another chapter of Kendra Robinson messing up everyone. What happens when you have the power to turn anything into anything?
"Hey, Kennie! Aren't you going to eat your lunch?" Wilbur asked his sister Kendra. They were at the family dinner table, and Carl the Robot was already packing up the dirty dishes. Wilbur was already done with his lunch, but his sister kept on staring at the stack of bread, cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes on a plate. "Kendra, are you even hungry?"
"Sorry, what?" Kendra turned her head to Wilbur, who was standing next to her. "I wasn't paying attention."
"The sandwich."
"Yeah, what about it?" Kendra looked at her sandwich, which was probably collecting dust by now. "Oh, that. I remembered how I could zap things and turned them into something else. Maybe I can turn something into another food…like that sandwich."
Wilbur looked around. No one payed attention to neither him nor Kendra. "We can try to go outside and turn a dead tree into a sandwich."
"Sure." Kendra agreed. She then called out, "Mom! Dad! Wilbur and I are going to go outside."
Wilbur and Kendra heard a silent pause, then a thump.
"You can take that as a 'yes'." Wilbur assumed. "Come on."
There were many doors that lead outside in the mansion. Since Kendra was near the door at the long dinner table, she opened a glass door near the large glass window. Kendra walked outside with Wilbur following her. All around the never ending garden of topiaries and bouncy grass, Kendra could spot a quiet white rabbit hopping around a teacup shaped hedge.
"I have a better idea." Kendra grinned, pointing to the white rabbit for Wilbur to see. "I'll turn that bunny there into a sandwich."
"And not kill it or turn it back to an embryo?" Wilbur thought.
"I was stupid to do that back then." Kendra explained. "I know how to handle my powers now…I think."
"Well that's what you say before someone has to go to the hospital because of you."
"Why are you being so grumpy? It's like you're starting to act like me." Kendra thought as she looked at the bunny longingly. Kendra also had the ability to communicate to animals so that they would understand her. The bunny looked back at Kendra, paws toward her. The bunny hopped up to Kendra and sniffed her. Kendra knew that the bunny would stay.
"Stand back, Wil. Call this animal abuse, but let's turn that bunny into a sandwich!" Kendra declared, zapping a light blue beam from her hand to the bunny. In an instant, the bunny seemed like it was morphing into bread, then with cheese, lettuce, and tomatoes. Kendra pulled back the blue beam. She was sure the bunny wasn't a plastic toy food.
"Hey, Kendra, Wilbur." Neon, Kendra and Wilbur's cousin, found them in the garden. Neon had her fencing uniform on. She was holding her sword in one hand and fencing mask in the other. Every week Neon would take fencing lessons. "Boy, has fencing taken up my lunch time. I'm so hungry now. Hey, is that for me?"
Neon picked up the bunny-sandwich up from the grass, brushed some stalks off, and took one bite. "No, Neon! Spit it out! You were eating a—" Kendra grabbed the sandwich out of her cousin's hands when Neon grabbed it back.
"A harmless sandwich. This really tastes good! What did you put in here?" Neon finished the rest of the sandwich.
Kendra bit her lip as Wilbur slapped his forehead. Kendra explained, "Bread, lettuce, cheese, ketchup, pickles, mustard…and bunny."
"Well that bunny did need a little salt." Neon thought as she swung around her skinny sword and put it back in its holder that was next to her waist. She walked away and opened the nearest door to go inside. Kendra looked at Wilbur with relief.
"Kendra, what do you think could have happened if Neon realized she ate a bunny?"
Neon pushed the door to go out to the garden. She saw Kendra and Wilbur still there. "What did you say that you put in there?"
"Um…bunny rabbit?" Kendra replied. She saw Neon turn pale. With her fencing mask still in hand, she coughed in it a few times and tried to get rid of the sandwich aftertaste.
Neon ran back frantically inside the mansion. "Mom! I'm a MURDERER!"
