Crash was in the kitchen, looking through a cookbook he purchased a few years back. As he skimmed through the pages, he was looking for something etiquette.
Crash: (flipping through pages) No…no…nope…had that for lunch…that was yesterday's dinner…well, nope…uh-uh…oh, this'll do.
Crash found the recipe to make some chicken lasagna. As Crash prepared the ingredients, he walked to the nearby radio which was hooked up to his iPod on the counter and turned it on. As he hit play "Colours," by Grouplove began to play.
Crash: Sweet.
In the Living Room
Pasadena was lying on the couch, waiting for Crash to prepare their meal. Being curious, she got up and looked around to see if anything would catch her eye. Besides a few pictures and a couple of things on the wall, nothing really got her attention. As the possum walked by the fire place, she noticed a picture of a female bandicoot with blonde hair.
Who's this, Pasadena thought. Looks a bit like Coco, but she could be their mom. Being curious, she decided to think about it for a few minutes until she came to the idea that the bandicoot in the picture was probably a cousin or some other relative. Pasadena put the picture back on the shelf and decided to go to the kitchen to see if Crash was almost done.
Kitchen
As Pasadena walked in, she heard the radio and instantly knew the song. She saw Crash at the counter and saw the meal he was making.
Pasadena: Hey Chef, whatcha cookin'?
Crash: I'm making some chicken lasagna. That's okay with you?
Pasadena: Yeah sure. Hey, is that "Colours" by Grouplove playing?
Crash: Yeah. You're a fan?
Pasadena: Well I haven't heard much of their music, but I love this song.
Crash: Cool. Are you gonna sing? I'm only asking cause' I'll join in with ya.
Pasadena: Alright. I hope you're a good singer.
Crash: I'm good a singer as I am a driver.
Pasadena: So you suck?
Crash: Low blow, Pasadena.
As Crash press the back button, the song began to play and both marsupials began to sing together with the song.
I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I run around, round, round, round
this down town and act like I don't care.
So when you see me flying by the planet's moon,
You don't need to explain if everything's changed
Just know I'm just like you.
Huh. Ha. (x4)
So I pull the switch, the switch, the switch inside my head.
And I see black, black, green,
and brown, brown, brown and blue, yellow, violets, red.
And suddenly a light appears inside my brain
And I think of my ways,
I think of my days
and know that I have changed.
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
You've still got your hand
So Mistress, Mistress have you been up to the roof?
He shot himself, self
There's blood on the wall
'Cause he couldn't face the truth.
Oh, knock that down,
leave the ground and find some space
And tell your friends, friends,
You'll be back again, gain
Before it's too late.
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad.
Ooooooh, It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
It really ain't that bad
It's the colors you have
No need to be sad.
You've still got your hand
So I am a man, man, man, man
Up, up in the air
And I float around, 'round, 'round this downtown
And know I shouldn't care.
So when you see us there out in the open road
You don't need to explain
If everything's changed
Just know that you don't know.
We call it... (Life)
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
We can't call it at all.
We call it... (Life)
Oh yeah, that's what we call it.
When you can't call it at all.
Yeah, We call it (Life)
Oh yeah that's what we call it.
(Oooohhhhh)
We do it for... (sweet love)
As the song ended, both Crash and Pasadena started to laugh. As their laughter shook them up, they held onto each other as their laughs died down. They both eventually stopped and looked onto each other's emerald green eyes.
Crash: Uhhhh…
Pasadena: Well?
DING!
Crash: Right! The lasagna's done. I'll get it and I'll set the table. (walks away)
Pasadena: (sighs) Men. Never understood them, never possibly will.
As Crash went to get the lasagna, Pasadena walked to the nearby table, where she sat and waited again for Crash to come with the meal. The orange bandicoot came back with a large dishpan in his hands and set it down on the table. He left and came back with two plates and two sets of knives and forks.
As Crash handed Pasadena her plate and utensils, he walked to the opposite side of the table where he set his utensils down and walked back to where he set the dishpan.
Pasadena: Smells really good.
Crash: Eh, I'm not a chef, but I make damn good food.
Pasadena: (takes a bite) Mmmm, I second that.
Crash: Thanks. Enjoy the meal.
As Crash went back to his side, he sat down and prepared his napkin and utensils and began to eat.
37 Minutes Later
Pasadena: Crash, that was a great meal. Where did you learn to cook?
Crash: I got some time in and I learned eventually. I got a lot of time now that I think about it.
Pasadena: Oh, how so?
Crash: My family is gone for the rest of the month, and I'm alone here for the time being.
Pasadena: Nice! You should throw a party.
Crash: Yeah, about that. I made a promise not to do that, and I always keep my promises.
Pasadena: A noble gentleman. How-
Crash: Great? Sweet? The best-
Pasadena: Dumb. Crash, you have a house to yourself for a month and you're telling me you aren't gonna throw a party because you made a promise not to?
Crash: Now that I think about it...Yeah, I'm not gonna throw a party.
Pasadena: Wow. You are extremely loyal.
Crash: Thanks, but are you forgetting the part where you throw an insult at me for being honest and loyal?
Pasadena: No. Honestly, I think it's very sweet that you've kept your promise.
Crash: Yeah. I'm a hero.
Pasadena: Yeah. Well, since you're enjoying the heroic moment, you wanna know how to be a hero right now?
Crash: Oh, well this should be good. What do you want?
Pasadena: Well, I need to be escorted back to my car and I need to get it towed.
Crash: I can tow it. Besides the mechanic is closed today. Let's go.
And so, Crash and Pasadena left the hut in Crash's jeep that he earned at the Motorworld. So the two are off to fetch Pasadena's car, tow it, and bring it back soon.
Yeah, so I might know this isn't the best chapter but it's the longest one so far. The song is "Colours" by Grouplove, it belongs to THEM. I know I should've made this earlier but I don't own anything. All characters belong to their respective owners. Read and review if you like. There's more to come so no worries. I'll post another chapter as soon as I can.
