Sour Pickles

"Here you go, Angelica," Stu said, handing her the new Stuomatic Full Sensory Kaleidoscope he'd made her while holding up another for Tommy so the baby could see the pretty colors.

"That's pretty cool, little brother," Drew said as the kaleidoscopes began to play music depending on how they were twisted. "Is it just random or…"

"Nah. Its based on what they are seeing. And the surface changes texture to really give you a full sensory experience."

"Impressive," Drew said as Angelica and Tommy both happily played with their new toys.

Up in Heaven a Jellybean-Headed Soul looked at the blond creator.

"What?" he said. "Some stories are short and easy to handle! Not everything needs to be 500 words!"

"Bababa!"

"It didn't require that much fixing!"

An older woman walked up and picked up the baby soul. "I think he's right… that was a rather short chapter."

"Stay out of this Trixie," the Creator complained.

Melinda Finster raised her hand. "Shouldn't you get back to Chuckie and Tommy's fight and having them make up?"

"Chuckie wasn't in this episode!" The bearded creator turned to his work station. "Now I need to work on my deck for Battle City-"

The baby soul gurgled.

"What do you mean, "That's never stopped you before"!? You think it's easy doing this?"

Trixie shrugged. "You watch an episode and have Stu and Didi act like proper parents. Anyone can do that, honey."

"I agree," Melinda said.

"Oh yeah? You don't like it you try writing the next one!"

"Bloop! Gah!" the baby said, tilting his head.

"I am serious! You three get the next one! Reptor 2010! Good luck!" With that he stormed off, grumbling the entire time. "Stupid people… this story doesn't even get as many reviews as my Harry Potter stuff!"
