Summary: Dennis' three human cousins, Troy, Conner, and Parker, trick Quasimodo into thinking that there are no pickles on their burgers. Now, Dracula needs to help him back on his feet.
This chapter is the parody of the episode: Pickles.
It was a busy afternoon, as every single human and monster are going to have their lunch breaks. "May I take your order.", Quasimodo said, all depressed like usual.
The customer, a monster with tentacles, was thinking of what to eat, but as he tries to order, his mind goes blank again. Quasimodo was getting annoyed, knowing that he was holding up the tools he needed for cooking.
"Are you going to order or not?!", he screamed, and eventually the tentacle monster said, "I'll just have a burger, please.". Quasimodo knew that he was going to make something simple, until the customer added, "With extra onions.".
"Oh, that's what I want to hear.", the chef said more calmly, "A challenging version of a simple order.".
He soon assembled the burger he nicknamed, 'Crying Johnny'. "First bun, followed by patty, followed by ketchup, mustard, pickles, extra onions, lettuce, cheese, tomato, and bun, in that order.", Quasimodo said with glee.
"Here's your Crying Johnny!", Quasimodo said, and the customer took the plate. Next, there was a human customer, who wants a dozen burgers on wheat bun, to which the chef made.
"Here you go.", Quasimodo said with annoyance. "Can I have some extra salt?", the human asked, to which Quasimodo told him, "No.", even when he asked to check.
When the customer walked away, three more humans appeared. "Let me guess.", Quasimodo said, "You three want a small salad?".
Troy, the oldest of the trio said, "We'll each have a Bossy Triple Deluxe, four-by-four animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a shake, some light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.".
"Kid, I make food here.", Quasimodo said, until Dennis comes to the kitchen to get something to eat himself. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the little squirt.", said the middle boy named Conner. "Troy, Connor, and Parker!", Dennis said, "I know those voices when I hear them.".
"You know these three?", Quasimodo asked, to which Dennis told the chef that the three are his human cousins. "We've heard that this chef here,", Conner teased, "can make food, huh?". This makes Quasimodo very angry as he cooked the trio's order.
"Be careful.", Dennis warned, "Those three are really picky about food.". "Here you go.", Quasimodo said, as he glared at the three boys. "This does taste good...", the trio started to say, until they started to get angry.
"But...", they said, "YOU FORGOT THE PICKLES!". This caused Quasimodo to get shocked, and screamed, "NOOOO!", as he never gotten an order wrong in his entire life. "You call this your best work?!", said the youngest brother, Parker, before the trio said in unison, "Well, we don't think so!".
"I was sure I placed pickles on those burgers,", Quasimodo said, as he looked through the order. "There were pickles!", he soon shouts, noting that the burger did have pickles, indeed.
While Dennis was busy calming Quasimodo down, his cousins went over to Dracula, and they said, "That stupid chef over there, owes us two bucks!". Dracula was shocked in hearing such criticism. "Remember, we get our miney back, right?", Conner added.
On the menu, in fine print, there were the words, 'Money back guarantee'. "But can we just talk about this?", Dracula asked, but Troy just said, "Nope. That chef needs to try harder.". As the trio walked away, Dracula storms over to Quasimodo.
"Papa Drac,", Dennis said, "Quasimodo is sure that he did put pickles on the burger. I saw it myself.". However, Dracula just said to Quasimodo, "Those two dollars are coming out of your paycheck.".
"Now get back to work!", he ordered, and Quasimodo went back up to his feet.
"Now that my cousins are gone,", Dennis said, "can I have my own burger?". Quasimodo is now nervous, as he can't stop thinking of Dennis' cousins giving him criticism.
"Okay.", he said, and went into the kitchen. "Alright, you can do this!", he said as he looked at the ingredients on the table.
"First bun, then ketchup, then mustard, then the pickles?", Quasimodo said, as he tried to make the order. "No, that's not right!", he soon corrected. "Bun down, mustard, ketchup, lettuce, then the pickles?", he said again, but just like last time, he screwed up.
"Is everything okay in there?", Dennis asked, to which Quasimodo said he's just about done. But the truth is, he's not done, as he is still struggling.
He tried again, "Mustard down, bun.", before saying, "Where'd the patty go?", and caused an entire mental breakdown in the kitchen. "Bun, then shoe, mustard, pan, bun! No!", Quasimodo cried, to which Dennis entered the kitchen.
"What's wrong?", the young dhampir asked, to which Quasimodo said that's he's now confused after the last order. Dennis soon called Papa Drac over, and suggested that Quasimodo should have a day off.
"But who will cook?", Quasimodo asked, to which the answer was also right in front of him: Johnny. "Daddy is good at being a chef, so maybe he can fill in for you.", Dennis said.
Days went by after the incident, but Quasimodo was still stuck in eternal confusion. As he went to bed one night, he tried to remember the order of the patty that Dennis' cousins ordered, but was not successful.
Even going to bed wasn't successful the day afterwards, as he got himself between the two mattresses, and fidgets in his sleep.
Back in the kitchen, Johnny was trying his best, but he accidentally burnt almost all of the customers orders. "I think this is too much", Dracula told Johnny, as he said that he's going to help Quasimodo.
In Quasimodo's bedroom, everything was all topsy-turvy, as various things are all misplaced, and the room was covered in dirt. "Quasimodo?", Dracula called out, only to reveal that the hunchback was inside of one of the cabinets.
"What are you doing in there?", he asked, to which Quasimodo said that he's stuck in the confusion because of pickles. However, Dracula decided that he going to help the chef out, as he can't cook in this state.
"Alright,", Dracula said, laying out a bunch of ingredients on the table, "I want you to try your best, and make a simple burger, got it?". "I guess I'll try.", Quasimodo said, but Dracula interrupted, "Don't try, do.".
Days have passed, and as Quasimodo started to pick up the bottom bun and placed it down, he wasn't sure what comes next. After four days of studying, Quasimodo soon got the answer.
"I realize...", Quasimodo said angrily, "That I can't do it!". "I can't make a burger with a bun, with patty, condiments, pickles, onions, lettuce, cheese, tomato, and bun in that exact order!".
But what he didn't know, is that while he was ranting with Dracula, Quasimodo actually made the burger perfectly. "I think you're ready.", said Dracula.
After Quasimodo is cured, everyone went back to the dining room and cheered. Dennis, was the most proud, as he knew that he will have been cured in no time. Suddenly, there was a couple of voice that said, "We heard that the chef's back.".
It was Dennis' cousins, back for more. "Yep.", Dennis said, "He's back, and are you here for seconds?". Troy just answered, "As a matter of fact... Yes, we do want seconds!".
"Give us the same patty from last time.", Conner said, with Parker adding, "And this time don't forget the pickles.". "I won't.", Quasimodo said, as he and Dennis worked together to make them the most accurate order. "Here you go.", Dennis said nervously.
The trio grabbed their burgers and chowed down, but they said like last time, "No pickles.". They even showed out the chewed up food from their tongues as proof, which disgusted everyone. "You both lose!", they teased, and laughed so hard, that a pickle flew out.
Dennis was the only one who saw the pickle, and soon made a conclusion. "Wait a minute!", he said, as he goes into his bat form and flew into Troy's mouth, and pulled out his tongue, revealing the underside, much to the surprise of everyone.
"It looks like the trio were hiding the pickles under their tongues the entire time.", Dennis concluded, to which he also revealed Conner's and Parker's tongues as well. "They have pickles too.", Quasimodo said, and soon the whole group circled around the trio.
"I think we should go now.", Parker said, as he, Conner, and Troy, ran away from the supposed mob. "Three cheers for Quasimodo!", everyone cheered, "Hip hip, hooray!". "And three cheers for my dad!", added Dennis, "The best substitute cook there is.".
However, it turned out to be the complete opposite, as Quasimodo even said that his cooking is more better.
