Chapter 40: Pineapples and Oranges and Cucumbers, oh My! Oh, and Papaya.
There was once a video that was found in the Vongola Mansion and made its way to the boss. It was an interesting video about a boy – or was it a man? – named Stanley who met a pineapple that had fallen on the forest floor. Like with many of the stranger videos that found their way to the boss of Vongola, no-one is quite sure how 'Have you met Tsuna?' was found, but found it was. Not too many were happy with that though.

"I. AM. NOT. A. PINEAPPLE!"
/
Then came an orange.
/
"Why am I the orange? I'm nothing like an orange!"
/
After the orange was introduced, a cucumber fell, and promptly split in two on contact with the ground.
/
"... Hn."
/
The cucumber 'died' and 'went to heaven.' The pineapple didn't agree, and for once the orange agreed with the pineapple.
/
"... My name isn't Stanley. And Hibari never died."
/
The Orange said that 'cucumbers have wicked souls.'
/
"The comment about cucumbers..."
"You want to finish that?"
"Um... no?"
"Smart move.
/
Then Pineapple...
/
I'm not a PINEAPPLE! Why must you all call me such?
/
… suggested taking cucumber and making a salad.
/
"Mukuro... that... is scarily close to something you would say."
/
Orange disagreed. Cucumber had 'let himself go' and Orange thought he might be nasty. Then came Papaya.
/
"It's not true! Someone loves me, somewhere."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... Ken... keep looking, I'm sure you'll find that someone."
"Dude, that was so out of character for you."
"Yeah. Never say something like that again. Ever."
/
Yes, it was one of the odder videos, but also one of the less humiliating ones out there.
/
"NOT A PINEAPPLE!"
/
Well, not for most of the Vongola, anyway.
/
"Call me a 'wicked cucumber' and I will bite you to death."
/
Okay, none of the more non-violent Guardians.
/
"For the last time. I AM NOT A CANNIBAL! Stop saying that every time I eat an orange!"
/
Oh wait, were we including Gokudera in that?
/
"Stop calling me STANLEY!"
/
Wow, even Tsuna? Huh, guess it was a bit... wait... that isn't humiliating per say. More like aggravating and even then it's the actions of others.
/
"I wish no-one had ever seen that video. This is getting embarrassing."
/
Okay... maybe the video was humiliating after the fact, but it was still amusing. Especially to those watching the facial expressions of the Guardians. Mukuro and Hibari were the best. Mukuro's expression stayed mostly in shock and horror while Hibari's was frozen in blankness with a bit of simmering anger. Wow, Vongola was a bunch of sadists. Good thing they have Tsuna to keep them all in check.
/
"One more 'Stanley and the Pineapple' reference, and I'll make sure you don't remember a thing about it. Old school style."
/
Hum. Okay. Well, that's that. The world is doomed. Even Tsuna has become a sadist. Have a nice life, and enjoy that oddities of YouTube.
A/N: I think that worked out well, don't you? Ah, how we love to torment our favorite Mafia group. Sucks to be them! Leave a review on your way out pretty please!
