Tonight, in the city of Grimsborough, there was a treehouse in the middle of the local suburban neighborhood full of children playing around and spending time with their friends while the adults were not around and some were looked after by their babysitters and supervisors. Across the street, there was a young boy with wavy brown hair and blue eyes, he was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt, black vest, brown trousers with brown belts, white socks, and black shoes, he was carrying his blue backpack behind his back as he was heading home to pay a visit to his father. In the treehouse, there was an eleven-year-old young boy with blonde spiky but messy hair and blue eyes, he had red streaks on his bangs and wore a light salmon shirt with a yellow logo of NSYNC, a red plaid jacket, red pants, and brown shoes. He was working on his secret chemistry to enhance the food combinations, starting with a sugar cube and using it to grow a sugar tree.
"Okay." sighed the boy determinedly, he took out a pot with soil made of chocolate cake and cookie crumbs, dug a hole, put a lump of sugar on it, added a small piece of cake inside, covered the hole, and watered it with carbonated soda. Soon, a sprout emerged from the edible soil and the boy was excited but then it grew instantly and turned into a donut tree full of doughnuts instead of cakes, he shrugged and grabbed one of the donuts, eating it and liking it.
"Completely, the flavor is called Trout." he smiled. Back at the lab where he suddenly takes out a heart-shaped tablet in every color, he likes inside a pouch. "Okay, just one try," he murmured, he took out a jug of water and the tablet dropped into the water. Then, the water is carbonated like Alka Seltzer and changes color that match its flavor. "Eureka!" he exclaimed and took out an empty glass while pouring the drink into the glass.
"Scott, I'm here." the older boy came into the treehouse with snacks.
"Ryan, try this," said Scott, offering a drink to Ryan.
"Okay." sighed Ryan, grabbing the drink and drinking it. Unbeknownst to him, there was a one-year-old infant little girl named Rachel wearing baby clothes who came out of nowhere and spotted Scott and Ryan drinking.
"Rodney!" cooed Rachel, Scott turned around to see his sister.
"Not now, Ray, It's not your business. These are Fizz Bop Rocket Pop, a flavored drinks-like sodas which contain a total of 14 different varieties," explained Scott.
"Rodney!" cooed Rachel.
"I knew it sounds terrible, but I'll show the labels," replied Scott.
He pulls the tables full of glasses with labels such as Grape Julep, Wallpaper, Dog Smell, Festive Forest, Riverbank, Leonard, Eggplant, Mouthwash, Tree Bark, Barnyard, Squid, Rooty Tooty, Dirt (a seasonal flavor), and also Carpet (a holiday flavor).
"Yuck!" cooed Rachel, disgusted.
"Don't worry, I got back up flavor I made," replied Scott, he pulled another table with glasses with labels such as candies, chocolate, and gummies and gums.
"Hmm." satisfied Rachel.
"I'm going to celebrate Fudge Day by myself," said Scott, but when he saw Rachel grabbed one of his flavored drinks, Strawberry, and chugged it which caused a hiccup. "Rachel!" he was very angry at his sister, scaring the hiccup away and making her cry. Rachel sees the box of fudge that came from the table and eats them all which Scott was frustrated over her eating his favorite candy. Suddenly, Rachel goes sugar buzz and insane, yelling extremely loudly and causing a rampage around his lab.
"Gahhh!' yelped Ryan
"Noooooooooo!" screamed Scott. Then, a Mexican police officer, Eduardo Ramirez came into the treehouse to pay a visit to the boys and brought his young son, Arturo with them, then they saw Scott and Ryan were tired of their sister.
"Oh hi, Arturo and I were working to help you." greeted Ramirez.
"Oh hi." greeted Scott, and then Rachel swallowed the Fizz Bop Rocket Pop whole. Due to consuming the Fizz Bop Rocket Pop, Rachel felt something so unusual in her stomach, that she started to bloate so much like a bowling ball and she floated like a balloon which shocked Scott and Ryan.
"Ahhh!" screamed Ryan, he and Scott saw Rachel floating like a bloating balloon.
"Oh no!" gaped Scott, he was furious at his sister that she didn't know how she put the water first.
"Well, let me explain that according to my research, there is one thing about two flying creatures who are obsessed with all kinds of candies, in binomial name, Candius spritius," explained Ryan.
"And what happened?" questioned Ramirez.
"Let me tell you, I'll show you," explained Scott, he went to the left side where there was cloth-covered something, then pulled it off which revealed that it was a giant rock candy that used a source of power.
"What, We never heard of that?" confused Ramirez.
"Of course, I'm professional and my parents won't let me have candies because I'm ten and I have to take care of my sister, I hate and I never accept her as my own," said Scott. Unbeknownst to him as he was talking about his discussions, Rachel was floating freely outside of the treehouse, but then, there was a branch that was spiky which caused Rachel to fly away into the air like a balloon while she cried and screamed, alerting Scott to turn around and see his sister.
"Rachel!" shocked Scott horrified, he went out of the treehouse to chase after his sister through the neighborhood which caused chaos around the area, scaring the neighbors who saw her and they ran off in panic. Then, it reached the Police Department where a cop named David Jones came out with a cup of coffee but saw the kids running around and screaming in confusion.
"Rodney!" shocked Jones.
"Hi..." sighed Scott, Rachel fell through the window, breaking the glass when she went inside.
"Rodney, why your sister is flying like a balloon?" questioned Jones.
"Oh that was one of my experiments, Fizz Bop Rocket Pop," explained Scott, Ryan, Ramirez, and Arturo up to see that Rachel had wreaked havoc incidentally.
"Scott, I don't think that Rachel got hurt, wouldn't you? Blimey!" worried Ryan, swinging his clenched fist in infuriation. Then, a shriek was heard from the precinct and Ryan gasped and turned around to see that it was journalist Louis Lerouz who was chased away by the flying baby as she morphed into a recalled toy, Mommy Furbytail.
"Huh?" thought Jones, Louis, rushed up to the family, jumped toward them, and hid behind Jones.
"Please help me!" begged Louis, frightened as Rachel turned back to her true form again and laughed at Louis.
"Rachel!" the boys grumpily scolded their sister, walked toward Rachel, grabbed her by her waist with his hands, and carried her up.
"Roderick Prescott Jones, Reynold Shane Waygetter, didn't I tell you both not to feed your sister some candies," said Jones.
"Yep, but I was so angry at her for causing trouble," replied Scott.
"Yeah, you almost scare Louis with the fear-inducing powers that can turn into the worst fears she needs to scare us all," added Ryan.
"I know, I got frizzled hands when I was working on my projected product," said Scott, Rachel saw the Fizz Bop Rocket Pop, swallowed it, and floated again like a balloon.
"Rachel!" exclaimed Jones. Then, a hyena and a lion came out of nowhere, and whereupon they rescued the baby by jumping up into the sky, grabbed her, and forced her to float down which Scott and Ryan caught before they raced and headed out together.
"Sorry." sighed Scott, just then, a beat cop Mia Loukas showed up and brought the box the calamari rings and sliced spiced hams.
"Spam and calamari rings, my orders," exclaimed Jones.
"Hi, guys." greeted Mia.
"Mia, you forgot the antidote I made!" warned Jones.
"What happened?" asked Mia.
"Well, It all started when because of the experiments," Jones explained as the flashback interlude began. In flashback, at the boardwalk, there was a young man with dark brown spiky hair and blue eyes, wearing a full-sleeved light blue shirt, an ivory cream vest with black lining, a gray and brown coat, a pair of black trousers with brown belts, and brown loafer shoes. Walking down the boardwalk all alone, Jones took out a photo of him and his blonde-haired, green-eyed wife wearing a red shirt and looked at it, shedding tears in despair.
Jones' POV: "It all happened the day my marriage was torn apart when my ex-wife Charlotte always wanted me to see a shrink to help me deal with the stress of my job but she couldn't handle the risks my job entailed and we were divorced. I was in a deep depression and could not cope with my problems but one fateful day things changed because I was sad and hungry." all of a sudden, as he was walking down the boardwalk, his stomach growled and in fact he was hungry for food, he stopped, passed by, and came across a food shop restaurant owned by a food inventor creating the food machine that turns water into food and is satisfied that he would eat some food he could try.
Jones' POV: "I came across the food restaurant that I try to eat but."
"Hmmm..." confused Jones, he marched inside the shop. Inside, he saw the table and chairs so he walked toward to sit on it. "Well, this is a nice place." he was impressed.
Jones' POV: "Suddenly, I sat on a chair to wait on the food on the menu." Just then, he saw that there was everybody's uncle grandfather who was joyfully devouring a pile of hotdogs on the table but he only looked on in starvation and sighed sadly.
Jones's POV: "I felt that I didn't have any money I needed because I gave some to my ex-wife." Just then, the manager came out of nowhere and dumped another hotdog mound in front of Uncle Grandfather, he turned around and saw Jones on the table bored and hungry.
Jones' POV: "I was desperate to try something else, but the only person who knows was Flynn Cottonwood."
"Hey sir, are you hungry." asked Flynn, "Don't worry mister, there was a man who was special to help you." he clapped his hands to summon the two full-time chefs, the father and son, Sōma and Joichiro Yukihira who appears and saw that Jones on the table but he was not in the mood. But then, they knew that Jones required them for some to eat, and the father and son rushed to the kitchen to challenge each other in a cooking duel.
"What going on?" asked Jones.
Jones' POV: "I was so confused that nobody knew that full-time chefs were father and son, Sōma and Joichiro Yukihira who also beat each other while challenging a cooking duel every time."
"You better be the judge, sir, 'cause you're about to get a taste of the contestants." said a talking pizza who shows up and becomes a judge along with Jones and Uncle Grandfather.
"What is happening?" shocked JOnes.
"Quit, kid, it turned out that Sōma always loses to his dad over the 489th time for a real reason." said the Uncle Grandfather.
Meanwhile, Sōma was cutting the bodies of the squids and turning them into thin rings, he coated them in egg washes and covered them in flour and breadcrumbs before he fried them all. At the same time, Joichiro uses the can opener to open the can of spam meat, taking out a knife to cut it into halves and fry them all. Back at the dining hall, the talking pizza, Uncle Grandfather, and Jones were still waiting for the food although Jones is still confused about what is going on.
"I don't get it, I hope that I have to stop them fighting each other like that. At least, it reminded me of my parents got into a fight." worried Jones. Then, Sōma and his father come out of the kitchen to serve them some dishes, the spam and calamari rings. Served with the dish he got, Jones was still confused about this and hesitated to try them but decided to taste them, he grabbed the chopsticks and used them to grab the spam and calamari rings, placed them together, and held them. "I hope that this is not what it seems." he determined.
Jones anxiously closed his eyes, gobbled the meat and ring into his mouth, munched them, and swallowed them both but suddenly when he tasted them he opened his eyes, gasped in shock, and saw that everyone was gone. Panicked and confused, Jones got up from the table, rushed toward the door, grabbed the knob, twisted it, opened it, and exited the restaurant in fright. Once he was outside the restaurant out of fear and confusion, Jones gaped in surprise and saw the world was made of meat and calamari were wheels, his mouth was watering with saliva, unleashing his appetite aroma. Up in the sky, there were massive grayish-violet clouds that came out of nowhere and showered the massive droplets of golden liquids around the place and showered him whole. Standing on the boardwalk, Jones opened his mouth, stuck his tongue, and let droplet on it, tasting it. However, he looked down and found himself half-naked in his boxers, he panicked and covered himself in nervousness. Just then, a massive Kraken came out of the ocean, using its tentacles to grab Scott in the process.
"Ahhhhhh!" yelped Jones, when he was grabbed by the Kraken who took him to the ocean that was unknown sauces with it. In underwater sauce, the Kraken kept swimming with Jones who struggled to get off of its tentacle but saw that some fish were made out of spam meats, swam toward and tickled him immediately, he laughed and couldn't stop while the Kraken let the fish tickle him. In reality, it is revealed that Jones has a vision of his taste while the customers are shocked. "Well you guys are both wins." he sighed.
"Yes I beat ya." mocked Sōma.
"No, you guys won over your pride, you better stop fighting over the duel," explained Scott, which disgusted Yukihira family, he turned to Uncle Grandfather and started to ask him for sure.
"What with them?" asked Scott.
"Listen, mister, because the spam meat is good and tends and you add calamari ring to the equation something magical happens," remarked Uncle Grandfather.
"Oh we get it, we realized the true meaning of powers within us. And that means no one can resist the flavors of land and sea," said Sōma. After Uncle Grandpa, his gangs and the Yukihira family glorify the power of land and sea, just then, a phone rings from Jones' pocket, he reaches to grab it to answer it but is in chat.
"Grace! Don't worry, I'll be back," said Jones.
"By the way, you forgot the secret sauce antidote in case because of us," warned Joichiro, it turned out that combing spam and calamari rings was dangerous and could pose as love spells.
"What are you talking about that?" questioned Jones, confused about what the father and son tried to warn him about eating too much spams and calamari rings.
"It ingredients are one cup of ketchup, one cup of brown sugar, a little bit of honey, and a dash of hot sauce." advised Sōma, "Spam and Calamari rings have a real cure, it is a truly dangerous effort to producing love spells on yourself." he deduced.
"I get it." scoffed Jones skeptically confused, he didn't believe the family's warning of eating the spams and calamari rings, and thought they were just kidding about them, "Can you give me the paper and write down the recipe?" he asked.
"Be warned, customer. There would be consequences awaiting you someday," warned Joichiro seriously.
Afterward, it was dusk and Jones walked out of the restaurant with the takeout box in his hands, wandered through the boardwalks, and continued to travel to cope with his depression although he had a piece of recipe note with him so that he could cook spams and calamari rings to ease his loneliness over his divorce with Charlotte, he looked around and saw a couple spending time with their daughter and eating snacks together rather than being torn apart by divorce and argument, he sighed sadly and sniffled tearfully before walking away.
Jones' POV "When I left the restaurant, I couldn't find the courage to find someone to love again and be a true family but to no avail. Instead, I decided to stay in a hotel for one night.
Later that night, it was almost midnight, there was a hotel far from the boardwalk where Jones was inside the hotel room barefooted, sleeping and snoring beside the takeout box and a recipe sheet but he woke up and gasped from his sleep, shedding tears from his blue eyes, he rubbed his nose and sniffled tearfully as he was still depressed over his broken marriage, he kept crying and sobbing. Saddened, Jones leaped off the bed, grabbed the takeout box, opened the lid, and revealed the spams and calamari rings, he grabbed a bottle of soda, opened it, munched all of the food in his mouth, swallowed them, and chugged the soda whole.
"Hmmm... Hey, that wasn't so bad after all." munched Luke, he went to his bed and slept again.
After eating the takeout food, Jones was lying on the mattress and resting on it, but starting to dream all of a sudden. In the dream, there was an island full of vegetation and nature, Jones was lying on the ground topless and barefooted while wearing brown pants, he woke up and looked around the paradise, he spotted a grotto with waterfalls located in the pond, rushed up to it, jumped up, and dived into the water. In the grotto, Jones was swimming in the water surrounded by some aquatic plants around it where frogs and toads live. While he was diving underwater, Jones swam forward while breathing air to survive, he stopped and took a glimpse of a pink, shiny, glowing aura silhouette that came out of nowhere and approached him, the light went off and revealed a young woman with shoulder-length brown hair and green eyes, and dark hot pink lipsticks wearing a white cloth around her body, she opened her arms, advanced on him, wrapped him around, leaned her face to him, moved her lips to his, and kissed him tenderly, embracing him romantically. In the afternoon, Jones was still dreaming, then he woke up and yawned, stretching his arms.
"Oh no." gulped Jones Jones, he believed that the family chefs were right: in fact without the antidote, he started to get haunted by the girl of his secret dreams "Wait a second this can't be happening I realized that I forgot the secret antidote." he realized forgot to cure himself with a sauce but without the recipe, he was doomed to dream of the girl.
Scott POV's: "I think that maybe the spam and calamari rings weren't hurting me after but I had an unexpected dream I guess, but there are so many bats around here," Later back at the restaurant where Jones, rushed inside and got in, he sighed in relief and saw the chefs were preparing dished for the customers.
"Please, help me!" pleaded Jones. Hearing this, Sōma sighed, walked out of the kitchen, marched to him, and gave him the Secret Sauce Antidote recipe sheet immediately.
"Sorry, I didn't know what happened." apologized Jones fearfully.
"That's what you get, this is why your friend is haunted by your secret true love," replied Sōma, Uncle Grandfather came forth behind Jones and comforted him by patting his back.
"See I told you that's why you forgot about the secret antidote for sure, it was called Secret Antidote sauces which was once created by your grandfather who gave us a recipe," explained Uncle Grandfather.
"What! You know my grandpa!" shuddered Jones, realizing that his grandfather was behind this to cope with his divorce, "What can I do now!" he panicked.
"Don't worry, it will take a year to wear off supposedly." consoled Sōma.
