Minisode - Elevator Hitch

Jeff the Spider and Fred Fredburger were patiently riding the elevator found in Fred's home downwards through the Earth. Easy-listenIng music being played from a speaker overhead.

"Say Fred, where did you say this elevator leads to?" Jeff asked.

"It goes to my favorite restaurant, yes!" Fred answered.

"Any particular reason you pressed all the buttons?" Jeff then asked, gesturing to the lit up buttons.

"I like it when they shine, yes!" Fred smiled with glee.

Jeff smiled back, "Well, if it makes you happy. Just let me know when we're at our stop."

The elevator stopped and opened up, outside was a massive city on fire along with explosions and guns going off. Soon enough the doors closed and they went down.

"What was that place?" Jeff asked.

"I think that was Los Angeles, yes?" Fred answered.

Jeff shook his head, "Nah, I've been to Los Angeles. It wasn't as nice as that place."

The elevator stopped and opened up, and outside the doors was a massive floating eyeball that looked from Fred to Jeff.

"...going up?" The eyeball asked without a mouth.

"Yes!" Fred blurted out.

"Ah! Actually we're going down." Jeff corrected.

The eyeball looked at Fred, "Down?"

"Yes!" Fred answered.

"...hm, okay. I'll just catch the next one." the eyeball said.

The elevator doors closed and they went down again.

Jeff turned to Fred, "Say Fred? I never thought of it much but is there a good reason why you say 'yes' a lot?"

Fred smiled, "Oh, I saw it in a movie once, yes! This guy, he was very sad and then one day he put on this green mask, and then he was a pet detective, and then he couldn't tell any lies, and then it turned out his whole life was a TV show, and then he tried to kill some rich orphans and then he tried to stop Christmas from coming, and then he heard a tiny city full of tiny people, and then he chased a blue hedgehog around-"

"I think you got your movies mixed up."

The elevator doors opened to a swanky room where a silverback gorilla wearing black sweatpants, a black hoodie, and a black beanie hat sat on a sofa playing a PS5. The gorilla looked over at the two, "Hey, you're not supposed to be here." he told them.

"Oh, my apologies!" Jeff told him as the elevator doors closed. Jeff took a few seconds before asking, "Was that a talking gorilla?"

"Uh, you're a giant talking spider." Fred pointed out.

"...you know Fred, you are absolutely right."

The elevator doors opened again and now there was a lot of nothing. Nothing upon nothingness.

"Uh…where is the floor?" Jeff asked.

Fred went up to the door and stuck his head out, he pulled it back in, "There is no floor, yes."

Before Jeff could question it further, the doors shut, "You know Fred, I am starting to question where exactly this elevator leads."

Fred smiled big, "It goes to a great place, yes!"

The elevator doors opened again and this time it was another elevator with doppelgangers of Jeff and Fred but the other Jeff had a green exoskeleton and the other Fred had black fur.

The black furred Fred smiled, "Greetings and salutations, handsome gents! My moniker is Phred Phredburger and this is my companion, Geoff the Spider!"

"Howdy ho!" greeted Geoff the Spider with a wave.

Jeff blinked a few times, "Oh uh, hello! My name is Jeffrey Loud and this is-"

Fred interrupted him, "Fred Fredburger! That's F-R-E-D-F-R-E-D-uh…"

"B-U-R-G-E-R?" Phred asked.

Fred nodded, "Yeah! You got it!"

Phred smiled, "I see, well, a pleasure meeting you two gentlemen! Sorry, but we are heading upwards to visit one of Geoff's favorite restaurants."

"THEY GOT NACHOS!" Geoff cheered.

"Oh! I want nachos!" Fred yelled, he tried to enter the other elevator.

Jeff caught Fred with his webbing, "Fred, no! You're taking me somewhere!"

Fred stopped, "Oh yeah! Forgot about that."

The elevator door closed and they went down again.

"Well, those two seemed nice and cheery." Said Jeff.

Fred nodded, "Yeah! Oh, we're here!"

The elevator doors opened to a café with a sign calling it "Yogurt Yoghurt Yogurté" and booths mostly filled with couples.

"Huh, a frogurt place?" Jeff asked.

"Yeah! They got a two for one special today!" Fred pointed out a sign at the counter.

"Two for One on Special Fella Day"

Jeff smiled nervously, "Uh…Fred, you do know that's more for uh…"

"Yes?" Fred asked.

Jeff shrugged, "Eh, Happy Special Fella Day, Fred."

"Yes!"

I love elevators and I haven't written these two goofs in a while. Needed to write something to cheer myself up.
