I (Asparagus) went to the gas station with my friend Broccoli.
When we got there, we bought some Snickers Bars.
As we walked outside, we were jumped by the fruit gang! They threatened to steal our snickers bars if we didn’t give them our money.
After we emptied out our pockets, they beat us up and then left.
“Oh no, the fruit gang wants to take us down!” said broccoli.
“We will be fine, as long as we have our gang with us too.” I responded.
We walked downtown. After we got some Raising Cane’s Chicken, we saw the Fruit Gang. I called up my homie (Carrot) who contacted our gang. In only a few minutes, I heard the blaring music coming from the van. Artichoke, Cauliflower, Green Bean, and Corn hopped out.
After a lot of punches thrown, kicks dished out, and vegetable/fruit juice flying into the air, the Fruit Gang went down. All of us hopped in the van and drove back to the house in the hills to celebrate.
However, on the way there we got t-boned by the fruit van! The van tumbled down the hill until we reached the bottom. I could barely stand up, having to push myself off of the van. I walked only a few steps until I landed in some wet stuff on the ground. I looked down only to find that only I and broccoli survived. And the wet stuff?
It was the other vegetables juice. I screamed in horror.
I picked up the unconscious broccoli and ran up to the house.
I lay him on the bed, and performed CPR on him, but it was no use.
He died in my arms as I tried to save him.
I was thinking of giving up, until I remembered Wayne Gretzky’s famous quote: You miss 99% of the shots you don’t take.
I realized this is my shot to get revenge.
I left the house and went to the Fruit’s base. I entered the building and planted the crazy shut down device in the floorboards. I walked out and as I did, I pressed the shutdown button. All of the fruit equipment and weapons were of no use anymore. I knew I hadn’t reversed my problem, but I did what I should’ve done a long time ago.
I had won, but at what cost?
