THE MUFFIN STORY!!!

Jesse was fighting with her muffin, and apparently the muffin won. She was lying on the kitchen floor twitching when the muffin, just sitting there on the counter, laughed maniacally. It all started when Jesse woke up that Saturday morning. Her parents went to work that day, so she was at home all by herself. She didn't mind, and neither did her parents, just as long as no one came over and she didn't go anywhere. She was hungry, so she went to look in the fridge. There was a box in the refrigerator that said: Jesse, these are for you :) She opened the box, because she knew her parents put her favorite food in that box: Muffins. She was sad because there was only one muffin in the box. She sighed, and opened her mouth to eat the muffin. BAM! All of a sudden, she was knocked down on the floor. {Monica B.}

Chaya knocked on the door. She didn't get the memo that no one was supposed to come over, well, she never did. No one ever told her anything. "Jesse?"

(Victoria N.)

Seeing that no one was coming, Chaya slowly turned the knob with her hand shaking and pushed on the door. The door opened slowly in an eerie way like you see in horror movies. Shfiting her eyes around the seemingly empty house, she grew an awful feeling in the pit of her stomach. She entered the hallway leading into the kitchen when-- BAM!!!

The front door closed behind her. She snapped her head back to see that no one was there to close the door. With her heart pacing in her chest, she raced to the kitchen to see Jesse lying on the floor; the muffin was no where to be seen. Running {in slow motion, of course} to Jesse's side, she cradled her friend in her arms, in a Romeo and Juliet meets **The Notebook** kind of way, with tears streaming down her face.

"Ch-chaya...?" Jesse said with her eyelids half closed in a sleepy manner.

"Yes, Jesse?"

"Your cryng on me and crushing my insides... If you don't stop, I am either going to drown or suffocate and neither one seems very appealing to me," Jesse replied playfully.

{Monica D. :)}

Chaya was laughing with Jesse on the kitchen floor... "Chaya, watch out!" was the last thing Chaya had heard before she, too, was lying on the floor in pain. "What do you want, oh shiny muffin?" Jesse asked. "Silence" said a deep, intimidating voice. "You want silence? Okay... The box...! It's silent in there!" said Jesse. "Silence" said the voice.

Jesse just looked at the muffin that lied on Chaya's stomach. She looked at Chaya, knocked out under the muffin, and almost screamed. She slowly got up, turned around to look where to go, and looked back at the floor. Neither Chaya nor the muffin were in there! Jesse ran toward the front door and jiggled it over and over, but it was locked. She tried to turn the lock, but it wouldn't budge. She backed away slowly, and found herself being knocked back by a stair. She turned to the stairway and ran up to the second floor. She grabbed the phone in her bedroom - no dial tone. She grabbed her cell phone from her purse - no service. She made sure that all the phone lines were plugged in right and tried again - nothing. She ran downstairs into the living room. She looked around and ran into her parents' bedroom. The muffin was lying on the bed. She slammed the door, and the thought of her mom yelling at her for slamming doors passed by her mind. She ran for the kitchen and opened the drawer close to the sink and grabbed an icepick. She slowly walked toward the bedroom door, hesitating, sweating. She opened the door - creak. The muffin was in the same place, and she walked in, the icepick behind her back. //I'm being silent,// she thought. //Maybe if I just keep quiet...// She kept walking to the muffin, getting slower and slower... The muffin made no movements or noises. Just then she heard the front door opening. She quickly jumped and turned toward the bedroom door. "Mom? Dad?" She turned back and the muffin was gone. She slipped the icepick, unnoticably, into her robe pocket. She looked at the clock. //2:27// She walked into the living room, toward the front door, and there her mom was, lying on the floor, the muffin on her stomach. Jesse slowly leaned down to the muffin, slowly taking the icepick out of her pocket. She heard a "BANG!" behind her. //I can't get distracted!// she thought to herself. She heard more "BANG!"s and each one made her jump. Finally, the loudest made her fall back. "Ouch!" she yelled. "Silence," said the voice. She looked on the floor and both her mother and the muffin were gone. She saw that the front door was cracked, and she swiftly reached for it. SLAM! The door shut right when she touched the doorknob. "No!" she yelped. "Silence." //How come every time I say anything, that muffin says "Silence"?// She backed way from the door, and went back into her parents' bedroom. She saw the window, and unlocked it. She couldn't open it. //Maybe I 'locked' it! You can never tell with these stupid things.// She unlocked it again. It still wouldn't open. She looked around and remembered the icepick. She reached in her pockets for it, but there was no icepick. //Uh-oh! It must've fell out when I fell back!// She rushed toward the front door. There was nothing but a floor mat. She picked it up, and nothing was underneath it. She heard the back door, which was in the kitchen, open, so she ran to it. Her dad was lying on the floor, the muffin on top. She quickly reached for her dad's coat pocket, thinking the muffin hid it there, and only found a key. She put the key up to the muffin and said, "You tell me where Chaya and my mom are, and there might still be a crum left in this kitchen!" She kept staring at the muffin. "Silence." "Will you be quiet?!" "Silence." Jesse thought for a moment. "Silence," she said, trying some reverse-psychology. "Silence." "Silence." "I asked you first." //Wow! It actually said something besides "Silence"!// Jesse smirked and held the key up closer to the muffin. "Tell me where they are!" "No." "Why not?" "No." She sighed, remembering what she did just before. "No," she said. "No." "No." "No." "No." "I said no first." "That's no excuse!" "Silence." "That's it!" "Sil--" That was all the muffin could say before ZIP! Jesse had cut the muffin in half. She silently cheered herself and saw Chaya, her mom, and her dad, who apparently 'vanished' while she and the muffin were bickering. They were all rubbing the back of their heads. "Uhrr..." was all any of them said. "Chaya! Mom! Dad! Are you guys okay?!" "Uhrr..." "Uhrr..." "Uhrr..." "G-Guys...?" The three of them were limping on one leg, lazy-eyed, and crums all on their shirts. "Hey?! You guys? Mom? Dad? Chaya? ... Hello?" They all limped toward her, each saying, "Uhrr..." continuously. She backed away until she was stopped by the counter. She looked back, to see if there was anything she could stop them with, and she saw the icepick. She picked it up, and then, the muffin appeared on the counter across the kitchen. {Monica B.}

"Uhrr...Jesse? What just happened? I think a muffin just tried to kill me!" Chaya looked at the counter, "Oh."

"How did you break my hypnotic hold on you?"

"Simple, I'm dyslexic, I think differently than other people; if you wanted to hypnotize me you'd have had to swing the pocket watch in the OTHER direction."

The muffin blinked, "What stopwatch? Silence!"

"Same difference... And don't talk to me that way!"

"Silence!"

"Silence."

"Silence!"

"Silence."

"SILENCE!"

"Jesse, why in the world am I fighting with a demented muffin?"

((Victoria N.))

Jesse looked at Chaya with a confused look on her face. "I don't know..." The next thing Chaya knew, she and Jesse were being cornered by Jesse's parents and the muffin on her mom's shoulder holding the icepick. "How... How did you get that?" Jesse asked. "It's my secret," the muffin said, winking. (Yes, I know... Muffins can't wink, but for crying out loud, it's talking!)

Jesse kept staring at them with big eyes, as if death were about to overcome her. "Please! Please! Don't kill me!!!" she screamed, Chaya by her side, holding onto her. Just when Jesse thought the muffin was going to take a swing at her, Chaya snatched the icepick away from it. Jesse, not knowing what really was going on, grabbed a pan from under the counter and swung at both of her hypnotized parents and they both fell to the ground, twitching. The muffin just landed on Jesse's dad, laughing maniacally.

"Muahahahaha! You fool! You seriously think trying to whack a muffin is going to solve your problems?" "No... I think it'll solve this one, though!" Chaya stared at them both and, trying not to panic, sat in the corner of the kitchen with her eyes tightly closed, wishing the nonsense of an evil, talking muffin would go away.

Jesse took the icepick and stabbed the top of the muffin, straight through the middle of it. "You think you could kill a muffin? Ha! How the fruitcake do you expect that to ever happen?" "You talk, you laugh, you live... just like humans. If you live like humans, you must die like humans..." "And where exactly do you expect me to go? Muffin Heaven? Muffin Hell? Muffin Limbo?!" "I don't know..." Chaya jumped up and picked the muffin up.

"Hey... Hey, what do you think you are doing? Put me down this instant!" Chaya walked toward the stove, her eyes baggy, her face pale and damp from sweat. She opened the oven and put the muffin on the pan that was placed in the oven already. She turned it on 400 degrees. "Noooooooooooooooo...!" she heard coming from the oven.

Jesse turned to Chaya, her eyes big and surprised. "How did you know?" "I'm hungry and the muffin was cold."

About fifteen minutes passed by, and Chaya, impatiently, turned the oven light on and noticed the muffin lying there, hopeless. She opened it and reralized that the oven has not heated up. The oven was turned on, but there was no heat coming from the oven. In fact, it almost felt like a refridgerator.

"What in the...?" Jesse asked. Chaya sighed. "Great! Now what am I going to eat?"

{Monica B. ^_^}

"There's a demented, talking, people-posessing muffin in my house and you're worried about something to eat!?" Jesse sighed in exasperation. She thought for a moment. "I wonder if we eat the muffin if we could be demented, talking, people-possessing muffins!"

Chaya raised an eyebrow, "I doubt it..." she said, being sensible before thinking of food again. She went to the fridge, it felt like an oven and the contents had melted and the smell of rotten milk flew out of the door like rotten eggs in a dumpster.

((Amber H. -Just thought I'd some random nonsense in... I like what the Monicas and Victoria have done with this story... Quite... Interesting...))

Chaya coughed, "Oh! Gag!" She looked at the oven. The muffin was gone, "What?! I thought it as dead!"

"Mwa hahaha!"

Chaya mumbled something, "This is sooooo getting old..." She looked at Jesse, "I think your house is possesed now!" She went wide eyed, "Oh...great..." She looked at the ground where Jesse's parents were lying, but they were gone.

"Oh no oh no oh no..." Jesse was starting to lose her cool.

Chaya grumbled something again then said, "Okay! Where's the computer, if it works we're running a Google search on how to kill a demented muffin!"

Jesse looked at her weiredly, "And you're the sane one?"

"I hang out with you, don't I?"

They ran to the computer and it worked. They decided it was best not to question why everything but it had messed up. Chaya typed something into the computer.

((Victoria N.))


 * Google Search:** //how to kill demented muffins//
 * click*
 * Results:** //1//

Jesse clicked the url and found a picture of a muffin cut in half. "We've tried that one!" Chaya commented. Jesse scrolled down and found some more links: __Does your muffin...__ Pop up out of nowhere? Disappear when you least expect it? Make things that are supposed to be cold hot? Make things that are supposed to be hot cold? Hypnotize people? Turn people into mindless zombies? Not die whenever you try to kill it? Stalk you around the house with objects? All of the above?**

 * Say everything in a deep, mysterous voice?

Jesse clicked on the very last one that said, "All of the above?" The internet went down right as she clicked the link. "No! No! No! No! No!" Jesse tried to reconnect over and over, but it didn't work. "NO!"

{Monica B.}

While Jesse clicked and refreshed Chaya sat down in the floor and closed her eyes. She put her fingers to her temples and got a deep thinking expression on her face. Jesse looked at her, "What are you doing?!" "Concentrating, I'm trying to remember if I've read anything on this, or something remotely useful..." She opened her eyes and looked up, " Maybe it's like Frankenstien or something, may be we can befriend it." She thought for a moment, "Okay... maybe it's not the best idea." Jesse sighed and started to smack the side of the computer with the palm of her hand then stopped, "Wanna go and try to befriend the muffin?" she said grudgingly. Chaya shrugged, "Why not?" (Victoria N.)

"Alrighty... Then let's befriend this thing!" Jesse said.

She walked back into the kitchen, no muffin in sight.

"Muffin, where are you?!" Chaya yelled.

Jesse gave Chaya a weird look.

"What?" Chaya whispered.

The muffin shortly after that. "You called the Almighty Muffin. Speak your business."

"You... sure are a nice-looking muffin! Let me tell ya! You could win some sort of most handsome muffin and win first prize!" Jesse gave Chaya an even stranger look. 'What is wrong with you, Chaya?' Jesse wondered. "I see you're kissing up to the Almighty Muffin of Doom. What is it that you want?"

"Oh, we just think you're a cool muffin. You're so fun to talk to," Chaya said.

"Yeah! You're so... friendly," Jesse said.

"You still have not answered my question: What do you want?" "We just want to be your friend, oh Almighty Muffinness of Doom," Chaya said, starting to bow. "Why would you want to be my friend? I am a muffin. You are human. We differ in species. I lack in flesh, and you lack in taste."

"But we can still get along, Master of Muffins," Chaya said.

"Yeah. Just because we are different doesn't mean we can't be friends!" Jesse said.

"Do you really believe so, crazy humans?" the muffin asked.

"I do!" Chaya said.

"Me, too!" Jesse added.

"Give me one good reason why you think that I could get along with you humans."

"Well..." Chaya couldn't think. "Okay we don't know. But can you give us on reason why Chaya and I are friends?" "Because you're both filthy human girls?" "No. That's not it. We don't know why exactly, either, but I know that's not it," Jesse said. "Why are anyone friends?" Chaya asked. "Why do you wish to defeat us?" Jesse asked. "You tried to eat me!" the muffin yelped. "Well, you did say you were tasty; and that's my reason for trying to eat you. I won't eat you now that I know you're alive. If I knew you were alive to begin with, I would've eaten cereal instead," Jesse explained. The muffin paused in silence. It almost looked like he was about to cry. {Monica B.}

Jesse smiled, "Do you need a hug?" It was Chaya's turn to give her a weird look, but she shrugged, "Ya, don't cry. We want our friends to be happy!" ((Victoria N. this is starting to get a little weird...all well!^_^ ))

"Thanks," the muffin said, sniffling. "I'd like a hug." Jesse and Chaya bent down and hugged the muffin. The next thing they knew, they were both on the floor, the muffin nowhere in sight. {Monica B. I know it's short, but someone had to put something!}

"WE GOT TRICKED BY A MUFFIN!!!!" Chaya yelled, over-reacting a little bit.

Both girls stood up but then noticed they were 'glued' to the floor by what seemed like non-cooked bread dough.

(Amber H. -I'm glad this is a random story...)

Jesse looked like she was about to scream.

Chaya did, "MUFFIN! I'M GONNA STIR FRY YOU!"

Jesse was losing her mind. "Hm... Stir fry muffin -- never thought of that..." she said calmly.

Chaya looked at Jesse, "I'm so sick of this. Next time someone traps us in your house and turns your parents into zombies, I'm bringin' a gun!"

"Chaya! This isn't supposed to be a violent story!"

She glared at her, "Fine, I'll throw chop sticks at it instead." her voice was oozing with sarcasm.

((Victoria N.))

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"Can you, please?" asked Jesse.

"Fine," the muffin sighed.

The door opened automatically. Who was it? It was none other than...

SKYLER!!!

He walked right in. The muffin appeared before him. "Sit, stupid human! I am the Great Muffin, so obey me!" Skyler looked shocked. "Jesse....Why is....What is....Do I want to know?" Skyler said. "Excuse me, human, I told you to sit!" the muffin said. Skyler turned around to face the muffin. "Do you know who I am, 'Great Muffin'? Of coarse you don't; I am the Great Cookie King!" The muffin stopped. He looked at Skyler and said "Oh, Great Cookie King, please forgive me! I'll do anything you say if you'll spare me of your cookie wrath!"

(Mary S. Just thought i'd help out! I miss you! Am i even alowed to be here? O well *turns invisible* hahahahahaha no one will ever notice...lol. :) Cya )

Chaya looked at Jesse, "We have weird friends..."

Jesse nodded, "Yup."

Chaya looked over to Skyler, "Help us please."

(Victoria N)

Skyler looked over at the poor girls on the floor and silently laughed. Chaya and Jesse looked up at Skyler with a terrified but confused look as Skyler's lips twisted into an overwhelming grin.

"Heh.... hehe.... haha... muhaha... MUHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!" Skyler laughs seeming to have flames burning behind him.

"S-Skyler?" Chaya asked now VERY confused.

"MY GREATNESS AND POWER ARE FINALLY BEING REALIZED!!!!! NOW!!! BOW DOWN TO ME YOU FILTHY HUMANS!!!! AND MUFFINS ALL ALIKE!!!!" Skyler yells as out of no where a black cape over-laps his body and a tall staff with a chocolate chip cookie on the top appear. Chaya and Jesse shook their heads.

"Yup, we have weird friends..." Chaya says again. The muffin looked in awe at the magnificent creature before him.

"I am not worthy master.... I am not worthy..... no one can ever defy you oh great and holy master" The muffin says bowing to Skyler as Skyler smiled evily.

"Yes, you are correct my unworthy slave," Skyler says soaking up the joy of being praised.

"SKYLER!!!! STOP SOAKING IN SO MUCH PRIDE AND HELP US UP!!!" Jesse yells at Skyler. Skyler gets a puppy dog pout on his face and was about to say something but was inturrupted.

"NOW!!!!" Jesse yells. Skyler jumps and walks over to her and Chaya as the cape and staff dissappeared. As Chaya and Jesse were set free Chaya looked at Jesse with surprise and joy.

(The one and only!!!..... TAYLOR K.!!! WOAH!!!! BOW!!! BOW!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA....You know.... these characters seem soooooooo firmiliar... but I don't know how.... lol (those of you who don't know me... i was being sarcastic) hehe)

"S-Sorry, Jesse! I promise to stop being so prideful of myself!"

"You'd BETTER!"

(For those of you who don't know, Jesse and Skylar are 'going out'...)

"I will, I will!"

Jesse smiled, being almost prideful herself. "Thank you," she said.

Jesse giggled.

As they were carrying on, all the lights had gone out. It was pitch black and there was music in the background that you hear in horror movies. Jesse looked at her watch, which can glow in the dark, and it said it was 6:00 p.m.

"Woah! It's already 6!"

"Silence"

Skyler jumped and let out a very short, high-pitched scream.

Suddenly, a muffin was glowing at the top of the stairs.

"Prepare to be vanquished, humans! And no more joking around, 'Cookie King'," the muffin said, making sure Skyler knew he was being serious.

"Bring it on, you CRUMB!" Chaya yelled.

The background music had stopped when everyone in the room, except for Chaya.

"You dare make fun of the Muffin Lord?" The music suddenly came back on. "Yeah, what of it?"

"I will make sure you pay, filthy human, if it's the last thing I do! Muahahahahahahahaha! Muahahahahahahahaha! MUAHAhahahahahahahahahaaaaaahhh!!!!!"

His voice faded as the music did. All of a sudden, there was a great big "HA!" coming from the muffin. Everyone heard Skyler's short scream. The lights came back on, and everyone was staring at Skylar. He had ended up being held by Jesse since the last scream.

{Monica B. Ha! This is getting kinda good! Hey Okie!}

Chaya came into the room as she wiped her hands on her blue jeans, then she looked at the two. She rolled her eyes, "Ew, I leave to go to the restroom for five seconds and you two start acting all lovey-dovey." She looked around, "That does it. Where's that muffin, I'm goin' back to Alabama!" She mumbled something about a 'stupid Elmo' and about how she shouldn't have come even if this 'Elmo' girl had threatened her with a muffin to get her to come. Hm, how ironic. She tried to keep from getting hit with a regular, not possessed muffin to get attacked by a talking, crazy muffin that apparently didn't get much discipline when he was a child. She stopped, "Speaking of which, where is Kat and Elmo and everyone else for that matter?"

There was a creak as the door opened.

Chaya hit her head, "Oh you got to be...come on!"

((I'm going to regret this....O.o Victoria N))

{For those who are confused, this is taking place in Tennessee. -Monica B. :) }

"They went back..." Jesse said. "They went home to Alabama... last week, remember? Mushroom got sick."

"Mushroom? Oh, you mean the one who freaked me out?!" Chaya asked.

"Yeah. The one who I told you smeared bread dip all over my face when I went to Elmo's house for her birthday party!"

"Oh yeah..."

Skyler didn't really understand who they were talking about. He had never met "Mushroom".

"So, why wasn't I invited over last week? I would have loved to have met Mushroom and hung out with Elmo, Kat, and Tuesday! ...I mean... Wed... No... Monday!"

"Why can't you ever get her name right? 'Monday' It's the first school day of the week, for crying out loud!" Jesse exclaimed.

"Sorry, sorry. I can't help it! Too many days of the week!"

Jesse smirked.

'Oh no, it's the smirk of doom!' Chaya thought.

"Listen to me," Jesse whispered. "I have a plan to get rid of this stupid muffin! If we mention 'mushrooms' around it, maybe it will be afraid. Mushrooms aren't good in muffins!"

Everyone thought for a second.

"All we have to do is keep mentioning, 'Mushroom is going to be here in a few days!' " Jesse said, grabbing her cell phone.

"But you don't know Mushroom's phone number... How are you going to talk to her?" Skyler asked.

"It's easy... Elmo, Mushroom, and Monday spent the night with Kat last night because it was her birthday this past week, remember? Well, if I call Elmo's cell phone, she can hand the phone over to Mushroom, and not only invite her, but convince that muffin that she is the Evil Master of Mushrooms!"

"Are you sure she's still over there?" Chaya asked.

"I'm sure. They never leave until it's late, anyways. They love it at her house."

Jesse was scrolling through her contacts on her phone as this was being said. She found it, and pressed the 'send' button.

"RING" "RING"

"Hey, Jesse! What's up?!" Monday yelled into the phone.

"Nothin'. Hey, where's Mushy? I need to talk to her!"

"She's right here," Kat said.

"Am I on speaker phone?!" Jesse asked.

"Yeah, you are," Elmo said.

"So what do you need?" Mushroom asked.

"Okay, here's the plan..." Jesse explained the whole plan to her and everyone on the other end at Kat's house understood.

"Filthy human, did I forget to cut off the cell phone?" Muffin asked.

"No, no... You don't understand. We have contacted our leader, Mushroom."

"Mushroom?! I hate mushrooms! They leave a bad taste in my mouth! And they don't go good at all on muffins! That will spoil me!"

"Well, unless you want to talk her out of coming tomorrow..." Jesse said.

Jesse had explained the plan to Mushroom, Elmo, Kat, Monday, and apparently Tyler, and they all made plans to come to Tennessee the next day.

"I will crush you, Muffin Crumb!" Mushroom said, talking into Tyler's Darth Vader mask that he had brought to Kat's house. He didn't spend the night, of course, but he was always over there, anyways.

(Tyler is Kat's boyfriend, by the way.)

The muffin was almost scared, but he said, "I will get you, filthy Mushroom Leader, but first I need some rest. Humans! Place me in my box and then place the vox in the fridge! That is where I sleep. If you do that, I won't bother you while you sleep for the night. I give you my word. If you don't believe me, I will get you, as well tomorrow, if any strength remains. I need all the rest I can get, so rest assured I won't get up."

"It's a deal, Muffin! I'll place you in the fridge if you don't bother us while we sleep!"

"Okay, okay, already!" Chaya said. She grabbed the box and placed the muffin inside. Then she put it in the refridgerator. They all went to sleep.

{Monica B. YES!!! I WILL GET YOU, STUPID MUFFIN!!!!!!! -Mushroom}

Jesse answered the door the next morning.

Kat, Elmo, Mushroom, Tyler, Monday and some other weird overly happy girl who didn't look like she even owned a single black T-shirt walked into the house.

"Who is that?" asked Jesse.

"You remember the norm from my party right Jesse?" asked Elmo.

"The norm has a name..." said the girl, not quiet as happy as before.

"Whatever," said Kat.

"I'm Toria, remember?" she said.

"Oh right....Ino!"

"Errrm, no..."

"We're calling you Ino and that's final!" said Elmo.

Toria (or should we call her Ino now?) sighed and shrugged, "You people are all crazy. Why are we friends?"

"Sixth grade reading teacher put us next to each other," said Kat. It sounded like she'd said it a thousand times, because, well, she had.

"Right..." Chaya glared at Ino (Or is it Toria?), "You guys left me! I can't believe you left me!" Monday shrugged, "We thought we wouldn't wake you up..." She smirked a little. "Just Kill the muffin!" said Chaya. "Did you try using a gun?" asked Ino/Toria. "Ino! this is supose to be at the most PG rated!" yelled Elmo, Kat, and Monday at once. "I mean uhhh... throw chop sticks at it?" Ino made a quick save. ((Victoria N. And Mushroom Vs Muffin begins.))

"That's what I said!" Chaya yells pointing to Ino..urm... Toria.

"Elmo!!" Skyler says bouncing on Elmo and hugging her to where she couldn't breath.

"Need...air... help... please" Elmo says starting to turn blue.

"SILENCE!" The muffin was heard.

"How did he get out!?!?" Jesse screams.

"Who are you people!?!?" The muffin yelled franticly.

"I'm Elmo" Said the red headed one.

"Monday" Says the one with different color hair.

"I am Kat!" Said the blonde headed one.

"I'm Tyler!" Said the one that seemed to be hyper but kinda normal at the same time.

"And I'm Toria! Or Ino! Or whatever you want to call me!" Toria urm Ino yells.

"And you are?" The muffin asked turning to the one with short brown hair with a Gir shirt on.

"I'm Mushroom"

"M-m-m-mushroom?!!?" The muffin screams.

"Yup! The almighty Mushroom Leader of Doom!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHH"

(Taylor K..... -Elmo)

"Dude, I'm the Muffin Queen for cryin' out loud! Why is one of my muffins attacking my friends!? And why is it scared of Mushroom?" Kat yelled, she seemed to be used to saying she was 'The Almighty Muffin Queen' and 'Not to disrespect her golden brown authority', but it never seemed to make a difference.

"Well, appearently this muffin went astray from your army, Kat..." Elmo sighed.

"He was more afraid of the Cookie King until we mentioned Mushroom," Jesse said, shrugging.

Skyler smirekd triumphantly.

Tyler looked around, "Um... Kat? You're the Muffin Queen?"

Kat nodded, "Yes... But no one respects me..." she pouted. "Emo corner here I come!" she said with triumph as she walked to a corner, curled up in the fetal position and rocked back and forth.

Everyone rolled their eyes, even the muffin.

Mushroom looked at the muffin, "Now, what's goin' on with this muffin problem?" she smirked, seeming to be studying the muffin.

((Amber H. Victoria, you are so not cool right now... -Kat))

Ino sighed, "Okay...the 'Wise One of Random Stuff You Never Use In the Real World' needs to go get the 'Muffin Queen' out of her emo corner..." she had made quotation marks with her hands when she did said some of those things. "Hey, did you know the way to kill a muffin is by tickling it behind its ear?"

Chaya looked at her oddly, "How did you know that?"

Ino looked at her like she was stupid, "Duh! Wikipedia!"

"Silence!" said the muffin.

"Silence yourself! And quit being so rude! It's not nice." Ino crossed her arms glaring at it.

((Victoria N. What did I do?))

Soon after everyone was finished going on about not seeing each other for a week and Mushroom not being sick anymore, the muffin was sick of waiting.

"Silence, Humans... It is time. Everyone leaves the house until either I or the Mushroom is down."

"You know, grammatically speaking, it really should have been said, 'either the Mushroom or I'," Monday said.

"Silence. No one comes before the Almighty Muffin!"

"Why should I let you break the laws of grammar like that?"

Jesse and Chaya both sighed.

"She really doesn't know. She should stop disobeying the muffin like that before she gets herself cooked," Chaya said.

"Because I am your master as of now and until I am dead, which will be NEVER!!!"

"Okay, your 'Almighty Muffin of Doom'... Have it your way."

Monday walked away, acting like she didn't care that the muffin would kill her.

"Now leave, Humans! Leave just me and the Mushroom."

They all left, wondering who would win. They went outiside, playing role-playing games to pass the time away and get their minds off of the whole scenerio that was going on in the house. They listened and tried to ignore the banging and whimpering until it all ended. The front door all of a sudden opened by itself. The muffin and Mushroom were nowhere in sight.

"Enter... for... the... almighty.... Muffin... has been... defeated..." They heard a rugged voice coming from inside the house. Out crawled Mushroom and they all had shouted at the same time, "Yes! The muffin is dead!"

Jesse woke up, looking around. She was in her room and had apparently just woke up. She looked at her alarm clock. 9:27 "Oh no... It couldn't have all just been a dream, could it? Crapola! What a weird dream... Demented muffins...?"

She pinched herself to make sure she was not actually in a dream this time."Ow!" She wasn't. She went downstairs and tried to open the front door to get the mail. The door was locked and the house was completely silent. She tried unlocking it. 'No! Oh... That really must have been a dream... The house is sealed.' "Mom? Dad? ...Chaya?" She opened the refridgerator to see... She had to make sure. There the box was. It wasn't on the counter this time. She opened it and there was the muffin.

"Just waking up?" asked the muffin.

She had jumped. Apparently the dream was the muffin being killed. Chaya and Skyler had walked down. Skyler stayed in the guest room, and Chaya slept on a comfortable mat on the floor of Jesse's room. She had missed her on the way downstairs. "Hey. You ready for today?" Chaya asked.

"What? Oh, you mean with Mushroom? Yeah!"

Skyler yawned. "I'm not... I had the weirdest dream that Mushroom killed the muffin." "Me, too," Jesse said. "Me, three!" Chaya added.

"We had better get the muffin up," Skyler said.

"No. He needs his rest. If we wake him before Mushroom arrives, the muffin is liable to get angry," Jesse said.

"True. But... How is she supposed to get in unless the muffin unseals the house?" Chaya asked.

"When she knocks, we will get the muffin up," Skyler answered.

Suddenly, the refridgerator door opened. They heard the muffin yawn. "I am ready. Where is the Mushroom Leader?" "She hasn't--" Jesse was cut off when they heard a sudden knocking from the front door.

"Enter," said the muffin. The door opened. There Mushroom was, exactly like in her dream, except fora cape, a few bits of metal meaning to be armor on part of her arm, from her elbow the middle of her fingers, and her shins.

'Maybe this means all of that in my dream will actually happen...!' Jesse wondered.

Mushroom came in, jumpy because the door had opened by itself.

"Is he here?" Mushroom asked, the door slamming behind her on its own. She jumped and that made her jumpiness a little worse for a second, but it went away.

"If it is I in which you are speaking of, then yes. I, the Almighty Muffin Lord of Doom, am here to defeat you... Once and for all!"

"Bring it, crummy old hag of a muffin!"

A slight "Ooooh" came from Jesse, Skyler, and Chaya.

The muffin was getting impatient.

"Alright, enough. This has to happen quickly so I can get on with raiding the house of all human life-form!"

"In who's dreams? Yours? You don't have dreams... You're just a pathetic excuse for an 'almighty muffin'!"

Mushroom just wanted the muffin to get angry. That's when she fights best, when the opponet is angry. Usually they start swinging out of nowhere, but apparently the muffin had control over his anger.

"Let's get it on!" Mushroom yelled. "Let's do this thing!"

the muffin stood on one end of the kitchen in a muffin-like battle stance, as Mushroom sat in a position an actual mushroom would.

"Ooh, this is gonna be good," Skyler whispered. They were right outside the kitchen, where the way in was sealed by an invisable ray of shock; You touch it, it shocks you. You couldn't see outside the kitchen, only inside. They didn't want to be distracted by the "audience" outside the kitchen. It was also sealed of sound.

You could hear a popping noise coming from the muffin as a weird smoke-like substance came from the top of Mushroom's head. The muffin had fallen apart into tiny crumbs.

"One of my special powers," she said, throwing her cape off to the side. I can break anything that doesn't taste good with a mushroom into little tiny pieces!"

"Smart, I guess," Chaya said, watching from the kitchen "sidelines".

A maniacle laugh came from the crumbs as they began to vibrate on the floor, and soon the whole kitchen, and even the whole house, started shaking like an earthquake.

BAM! There the muffin was.

"Ha! You think you can defeat me by breaking my body into crumbs?! Ha! Think again! My body will come back together like that!" he said, a snapping noise coming at the word, "that".

'This is going to take forever!' Mushroom thought.

She got up from the position the earthquake-like rumble had put her in. She tilted her head down, closed her eyes, and stood straight and tall. The muffin and the others wondered what she was doing. Daggers came from the muffin's direction. They went right through her, leaving small dagger-sized holes in her body. The hole grew back as she stood in stillness.

"Another cool power of mine; I can have any power that an opponent of mine that tastes horrible with mushrooms have."

"Rats!" said the muffin.

The muffin tried to use only powers that would affect Mushroom, but not the muffin.

Mushroom lifted her head up and jumped into her battle stance.

"I can move all I want and your power still be used by me; I just wanted you to waste a few weapons on me as I was standing still! I knew you would take your chance!"

"Doh!" said the muffin. "Can't believe I fell for that!"

It seemed that it would be impossible to kill either of them with the powers they both had possessed.

The muffin soon thought of something. It seemed like a light bulb had appeared on his head. He knew he was risking the mushroom taking this power, but he thought he could do this and kill her.

"Oh my gosh!" said the muffin, as Mushroom looked the direction the muffin was, as if something were about to attack.

'So gullibe!' thought the muffin. He had then extended as big as the kitchen would let it. Mushroom turned around, wide-eyed at the shadow the muffin was creating. Then the muffin squashed Mushroom, right there on the spot.

"This is over!" yelled the muffin.

"No... It... can't... be...! How... did... you... know... that... to kill... a mushroom... you... step on it?!"

Jesse, Chaya, and Skyler all gasped at once and were very disappointed as they watched their beloved, flattened friend, Mushroom, be squashed.

"This isn't happening... This isn't happening... This isn't happening..." Skyler kept telling himself.

Just then, the shield, from the kitchen to the hallway where the stairs and door were, was released.

"Muahahahahahahaha!" shouted the muffin in maniacle laughter.

"You... You squashed her like... like..."

"Like a mushroom?" the muffin responded to Chaya.

They were all stunned as they heard knocking coming from the front door. Jesse got up from the floor and looked at the muffin.

"Well? Aren't you going to let them in?" Jesse asked.

"Why? They will just want to defeat me!"

"But that will keep you busy, right? As soon as you defeat all of the people in the house... just think... There will be no one left," Chaya stated.

"You're right," the muffin said, unlocking the door. "But no funny stuff!"

"Gotcha," said Jesse, opening the door as the door was being banged on by impatient guests.

"Jesse!" yelled Kat, Elmo, Monday, and Tyler. Jesse just stepped aside, letting the muffin close and lock the door behind.

"Why the sad face?" asked Kat.

Jesse signaled them into the kitchen. They followed her signal and found Mushroom, flat on the ground.

"Oh my gosh! Poor Mushy! What are we going to do now?" said Elmo.

Skyler looked at Chaya, as if giving her some kind of cue. They pulled everyone together into a circle.

"Okay, here's the plan," said Skyler. "Monday... You know those evil mutant bunnies you always talk about, but never seem to summon because they would cause too much distruction?"

"Yeah... If you want, I could get them to come out and kill the muffin! They love muffins, and they aren't afraid to attack and swallow one whole!"

"Great! But not right now," said Skyler, stopping Monday from leaving the circle. "If you think that just letting your bunnies attack the muffin will defeat him, you may be wrong. He knows just what we are up to. He knows that we will plan something. Trust me, he knows..."

"Next?" asked Chaya, reminding Skyler.

"Oh yeah... Next, Kat, or Amber the Muffin Queen, will get her muffin powers and fight muffin vs. muffin! ...If the other plan won't work out. This muffin is good, and not in tastewise."

"Next?" asked Chaya again.

"Next will be Elmo. She has her radioactive squirrels, right?"

"Ooh, they're in the trunk," she said, pointing her thumb toward the front door behind her.

"Cool... We'll need those. Tyler, we won't need much from you, just some good ol' moral support! Next will be my Cookie Wrath!"

"And last, but not least..." said Chaya, leaving the rest to Skyler.

"Jesse's Army of Evil Penguin Soldiers!" he said, in a soft, yet almost loud at the same time, voice.

"Yes! They are ready for another good battle!"

"Did everybody get all of that? Cause I have a copy in my pocket that Chaya and I planned out while Mushroom was dying..."

"I got it!" they all said at once.

"Alright, 'break' on 3... ready? 1... 2... 3..." Chaya said, putting her right hand in the middle of the circle. Everyone else did the same.

"Break!" they all shouted at once, bringing their hands up.

The muffin looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"I need a nap before the next battle. Who's my next victim?" the muffin said.

"Me," said Monday, in a diabolical way, smirking in battle stance.

"Alright. I'll get some rest while you guys do whatever. It's not like you can get out, or anything, though."

"Oh, no..." said Monday. "I am so looking forward to killing you!" she said.

"And just what are your powers?" he asked.

"You'll see."

The muffin got in the box that was open and it closed by itself. He wasn't as lazy as the night before, so he didn't ask to be helped into it. He didn't want in the refridgerator, either.

Ther roleplayed, about like they did in the dream.

&&~Dream Sequence~&&

The muffin awakened, looking like he was about to do cartwheels and jumping-jacks because he looked so happy.

"I am ready to become the next Hokage, believe it!" someone shouted.

"What? I know Naruto isn't here..." said Elmo.

"Yeah, and it kind of sounded like --" Kat said, being interrupted.

!!!BOOM!!!

There was a herd of llamas standing right in front of their very eyes.

"W- where did those come from?" Tyler asked.

"Do not fear," said a llama in a llama-like voice, "for the Llama Squad III 1/2 are here!"

"Three and a half? What happened to the half?" asked Chaya.

"Just don't ask," Elmo said. She was the only one who knew what was going on.

The llamas broke out and killed the muffin.

&&~End~&&

The muffin woke up with the box open. He had forgotten he had closed it, and he was wondering why he was in the box. He opened it and jumped out. Jesse, Skyler, Elmo, Monday, Kat, Tyler, and Chaya turned around to see what the noise that the muffin had made getting out was. "I can't wait to defeat you, 'Monday'!"

"Get ready!" she yelled back.

"Oh, I am. Don't worry about me."

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get it on, Muffinhead!"

"Muffinhead? I am a whole muffin, thank you!"

"Just shut up and fight, already!" yelled Jesse. Muffin and Monday moved into the kitchen and the muffin put the shield over the doorway into the kitchen. "I summon now..." said Monday, with a Justu-type hand symbol. "...all of my evil mutant bunnies..."

"Ninja-art: Bunny-Jutsu!!!" Her left hand went out in front of her, with her middle and index fingers up only, and her right hand the same way, over her mouth. All of a sudden, there was a huge, black smoke covering everything in the room but Monday, her hands in position. "Ugh, Monday! You're not ready for that Jutsu yet!" Elmo said. The smoke cleared very, very slowly, and left bunny figures in the smoke. Those eventually went away. "Darn," Monday mumbled. 'I'll try again!' she thought. She did exactly what she had done before, with the hands and the words and the smoke... This time the smoke left actual bunnies; black, red-eyed bunnies. "Yes!" Monday yelled, jumping up and down one foot at a time with her eyes closed. There were bunnies everywhere, too many to count. Their teethe were sharp and perfectly white. "Bunnies... Attack!" The bunnies jumped on the muffin, all at once. They began to eat the muffin, until nothing was left. The bunnies looked around, not knowing what to do next.

"Foolish bunnies..." they heard coming from one bunny. All of the bunnies lit up with a neon green glow. Lights shot from the bunnies to one particular spot in the middle of the kitchen. The light went away, and everyone had to rub their eyes to get their vision back. They all were shocked to see the muffin in clear view, not one crumb out of place.

A huge flash of lightning covered the entire room, killing all of the bunnies and bringing Monday down to the floor, helpless.

Monday eventually died... The muffin's maniacle laughter was unbearable to Monday's corpse, so it dissolved.

{Monica B.}

The muffin stopped laughing. "NEXT!!! I need no rest as of yet! That was not too much of an energy drain!" it proclaimed with enthusiasm.

Kat stepped up, "I am the Muffin Queen!!!" she said out of nowhere. "I will take you down with my army of muffins who have been enhanced with double chocolate!!! With nuts!"

The muffin seemed scared for only a moment or two. "Chocolate and nuts!? Is that supposed to scare me human!?"

"I am the Muffin Queen!! Respect me!!! Or you will go back to the bakery of DOOM!!!" Kat said to the muffin.

((Amber H. -Urm... Odd...)) {I added th nut part... -Monica B.}

"Oh no, not the bakery of DOOM!" the muffin said, sarcastically.

"You don't believe me? They'll turn you into slop! Or even worse... bake you into a casserole! And muffins are not good in casseroles!"

"Oh, I'm shaking in my plastic wrap! You think I'm scared of some poser who calls herself Muffin Queen?! Ha! Good one, Kitty Cat!"

"Oh, no you just didn't," Kat said. "And just why should I be intimidated by you? You're nothing but a worthless crumb of stale butterscotch!"

"How did you know?" The muffin gasped.

"Oh, I know everything there is to know about muffins... I am the Muffin Queen, remember?!"

"So, you really are... You can't be... But you are... nothing but a stupid human!" The muffin snapped back into his original attitude.

"Yeah, well I still know a thing or two about muffins."

"Oh yeah? Who invented the muffin?" "Me!" Kat yelled, everyone in the room gasping for air. "Oh really, then? Who was the first human to open up a muffin bakery?" "The inventer of the muffin, me. Duh."

"Well I don't believe you."

"You wanna take this in the kitchen, Crumbhead?"

"Oh yes, let's!" the muffin called out. BAM! They both ended up in the kitchen like that *snap*. "I already sealed the way into the kitchen. I transported us both in here," the muffin said.

"Oh, but you didn't expect I knew this...?"

Before the muffin could respond, Kat was outside the kitchen with the snap of her finger.

"You... You were not supposed to know how to do that!"

"What did you expect, the Muffin Queen to not know how your moves work?"

"You're no muffin... You're just a human!"

"Yes, and humans invent things, such as food. Muffins are food. Duh."

"Well then get in here and fight like a real Muffin Queen!"

"Alright, sheesh! I was just proving the fact that I know everything about muffins!"

"Well, we get it now. You are the 'almighty Muffin Queen.' "

"...Of doom!"

"Shut up and fight, already," Chaya yelled.

The muffin started to do something but Kat beat him to it.

"Very well," Kat replied, suddenly ending up in the kitchen.

"Carry on, then," Chaya said.

The muffin stood in battle stance, waiting for Kat's first move.

"Well... Are you just going to stand there, or am I going to have to finish this at the beginning?"

"Oh, you were waiting on me? Ah, so that's why you stood there looking like a fool, waiting on me to start. Hm, well, if you want something done, I guess you'll have to do it yourself," Kat said, talking to herself at the end.

"Okay, then what are you waiting for? Christmas? You think Santa's gonna come down the chimney and save you?"

"Well, he is a talking muffin. If that's possible, so is what he just said," Chaya said.

"Get real," Skyler said.

As they were talking, more like arguing, Kat was slowly getting weaker. This was the muffin's affect.

//Once you find your leader, the Great Muffin Creator, you shall have a great power overcome you. Your leader will be weakened by stalling. Your leader does not know this, but it is far true, young Muffin. Go. Search for your leader and destroy. Defeat anyone in the way, and anyone who will try to save your leader. Boy or girl it may be, who knows? Once weakened, your leader will be easily defeated by you, depending on how weak you have made him, or her. Now get on with it, Muffin, for if you don't, you will have nothing to live for and I will feed you to my pets in which there is no escape from.//

The muffin remembered these words, but from where? All he knew was that he had to keep busy of this so-called leader of his.

"Don't be fooled, human. I can defeat your so-called Father Christmas in no time at all."

"When are we ever going to get on with this?" Kat asked.

"In time, my hostage. In time," the muffin said.

"Hostage? What does he mean by that?" Chaya asked.

"He means we are all here in this house with no way of getting out. The only way is to defeat him," Jesse said.

"She's right, you know," Skyler said.

"Stop wasting time and let's get this show on the road," Kat said.

"What's the hurry? The little kitty impatient?" the muffin replied asking.

"Yeah, maybe I am."

"Maybe you are," the muffin stalled.

"Well maybe I am."

"Maybe you are."

"Maybe, I am a little impatient."

"Yes, maybe you are."

"Maybe I am; What's your point?"

"My point is unknown, but the point of all points, nobody knows."

"Trying to confuse me?" she scoffs. "You cannot confuse me. I know exactly what you mean."

"What is that, then?"

"You mean that there is no point to your madness and that there are many points to every point."

"Wrong," the muffin said loudly.

"Well, then you mean what you said. Nobody can tell the point of what you are saying or why any point is said."

"Close enough," the muffin said.

"Ha. See, I had a few ideas in mind. I think broadly, Muffin. I think outside the box a few moments."

"I have a reason to think outside the box. I have finally been released from my box one morning ago. Have you been let out of your box, Kitty-Kat?"

"I was never in any box. It was a figure of speech."

"Yes, and I was making a point to your little figure of speech. Well well, another point that cannot be defined."

"All right, Muffin, that's enough. Let's get this on and over with."

"You said it, sister," Chaya said.

"Shh," Elmo said. "I'm trying to listen."

The kitchen suddenly changed to battle mode. Everything was still, everyone was in a battle stance.

"Ready when you are," the muffin said.

"Ready," said Kat.

Kat formed a muffin-shaped aura above her head and threw it at the muffin. He jumped out of the way quickly, in time to dodge the attack swiftly.

"Smooth, but not smooth enough," said the muffin, in a pouncing position. Kat had suddenly felt a great weight upon her head. She was, indeed, very weak.

BAM!

The muffin pounded her. She wasn't moving. She couldn't move at all. She was completely done for.

"Oh my gosh," Chaya and Jese said together.

"That was too easy," the muffin said, followed by a maniacle laughter.

"Now that my master is gone from the earth, who is next?"

"Me," said Elmo.

"Ah, and what special prizes are you filled with today?"

"You'll see."

"Aw, but don't I deserve some dort of prize for defeating my leader, my creator, finally?"

"The best kind of prize is a SurPrize!"

"Ha ha ha, very funny, Starshine," Chaya said.

"Willy Wonka, Willy Wonka, the Amazing Chocolateer," Skyler sang to himself.

"Enough with your silly gestures," the muffin remarked.

Elmo entered the kitchen, ready for anything that may happen. The shield appeared in the doorway once again.

"You ready?" asked Elmo.

"You bet," replied the muffin.

The muffin stood still as squirrels stuck their noses out of pantries, the oven, the refridgerator, the freezer, and all sorts of places.

"What is all of this? Squirrels?" the muffin said, followed by a slight gasp. "Oh, are you... Elmo, the Radioactive Squirrel Leader?"

"The one and only!"

"But how is that possible? I heard you died."

"By who?"

"Lots of people."

"Well, I'm right here, baby!"

"Ghhaaa!" yelled the muffin, throwing chunks of himself at her after he hardened them.

Elmo ducked and signaled her squirrels to attack the muffin. The muffin threw more chunks at the squirrels, and eventually, they all vanished. The thrown chunks reattached themselves onto the muffin.

"Ew," Chaya said.

"Kinda freaky," said Jesse.

"Yeah," Skyler replied.

Elmo took her hand into the air and a sphere appeared on it with a squirrel inside. She threw it at the muffin. It hit the muffin, although he did try to dodge it. Crumbs went everywhere and instantly grew back together.

"Haven't you learned yet, human?"

"Oh yeah," she mumbled.

The muffin went over to Elmo as she took time to gather some thoughts. He began to tickle her.

"I know about Tickle-Me Elmo. That's the most popular right now."

"Heeheehahaha! Stop it! Hahahaheeheehahaha!"

"Nope. You must surrender to me, first. Surrender, and I'll let you go. But you have to be my slave!"

"Heeheeheehaha! No! I won't give... hahaha... in! Heeheeheeheehahahahahaha!"

"Poor Elmo," said Jesse.

Then, Elmo dropped to the floor, completely out.

The muffin felt of her pulse.

"Muahaha! She's out cold. Gone. Done for. Who's next?"

"What does he do with them?" asked Tyler.

"He vanishes them from the room, and they end up someplace else," Skyler answered. "And I am next, Muffin."

{Monica B.}

Tyler was still trying to comprehend what happened as Skyler walked into the kitchen. His girlfriend and his girlfriend's best friend just got beat by a muffin for crying out loud! He sighed and shook his head, trying to understand, but then felt his brain was about to implode, so he stopped.

The muffin contorted to look like it was smirking, "We all know muffins are better than cookies," it said.

Skyler got this really funny looking confused look on his face.

"Oh yes. I know you're the Cookie King. Do you think I knew of the Muffin Queen and not her nemesis the Cookie King!?" the muffin laughed maniacly.

Skyler smirked, "I didn't doubt you knowing me for one minute!" he proclaimed. "And Kat is only my nemesis in the discussion of Muffins and Cookies, and we already came to a decision. Muffin Cookies!" he said, sticking his tongue out at the muffin.

The muffin grimace, "Disgusting human!"

(Amber H. -Okay... I added, Mushroom... Perhaps that helped... Maybe it didn't... Oh well...))

"Shut your mouth and let's get this on!" yelled Skyler.

"Alright, bring it on, Cookie Head!"

"Better to be a cookie head then a muffin head," Skyler said. He could almost see Kat glaring at him for saying that in his mind.

"Whatever," said the muffin. "I'm still going to beat you!" he laughed.

They moved to the kitchen, yes so new, and the muffin pulled up the shield.

"Your move," Skyler said.

The muffin stared at Skyler for a moment, and objects in the kitchen, like knives, pots, pans, spatulas, and other stuff, started to rise from their positions and rose until they were all to the exact same level off the ground. The muffin kept glaring at him. Skyler's eyes refused to leave the sight of the muffin. Then, the objects sat still for a while until the muffin was ready to attack. When he was ready, they all flung at Skyler at once. Skyler just stood in the same place he has been. Nothing hit him. The muffin stood in shock, thinking he was ready for what was about to happen. Skyler picked up a pan and a knife, pretended to throw the pan as the muffin ducked, and threw the knife below. The knife drove through close to the muffin's center, but not exactly in the center, the tastiest part of a muffin. He threw the pan on top of the muffin, squishing it almost. The ground shook for a couple of seconds, and the muffin sprung from underneath the pan, leaving the knife with it. "Hahaha! Silly human." The muffin kept looking at Skyler, refusing to make any sudden movements, or any movements at all, with a small glare to its eyes. There was suddenly a slight whistling sound in the background as the muffin was actually hypnotizing Skyler. Their eyes met and were both spirally. Skyler then hit the ground.

"Man, that took forever!" the muffin said.

Jesse, Tyler, and Chaya were the only ones left. Jesse stood up and faced Chaya and Tyler, both of them trembling in fear.

"Is the muffin gonna... get us?" Chaya said.

"No, because I know what to do." Jesse said.

They all got in their little circle and decided on what to do. The muffin, impatiently waiting in the kitchen, just sat on the counter until someone wanted to come into the kitchen. It could barely hear them, "Tyler, I need you to... and Chaya... and I will... Got it? ... Got it!"

"So, who is my next victim to come into my kitchen of doom?" asked the muffin.

"Us," said Jesse. Tyler and Chaya had their backs to the muffin and Jesse. "They may take a moment," she said to the muffin. "They're just getting everything ready."

"Fine, just don't keep me waiting."

"Oh, we won't," Chaya said.

"Good."

A while later, Chaya and Tyler turned back to Jesse, listening to herself mumble lyrics from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and the muffin.

"We're ready," they said together.

"Good. I was about to fall asleep," said the muffin. "But I'm not all that tired, so let's go."

Jesse, Tyler, and Chaya went into the kitchen as the muffin went from the counter to a place in ffront of the refridgerator in a hovering position. They were all in their battle stance. The kitchen was covered with kitchen supplies and dishes. Even everything from inside all the cabinets and the fridge were on the floor and the counters. The muffin took the pan left on the floor and tossed it aside from his left, hitting a cabinet door below the sink. "Ow," he heard coming from the cabinet. The cabinet opened, and who came crawling from the cabinet? Mushroom!

A few llamas came crawling from behind her.

"Mushy!" yelled Chaya, Tyler, and Jesse.

"...Hey, guys!"

Monday came from the oven, holding a few of her bunnies. Elmo and Kat came from the refridgerator and Skyler came from the freezer, all of them coming from a very tight position. There were cookies, mini-muffins, red fuzz, black bunny hairs, mushroom dust, and llama fuzz all over the floor. Everyone walked behind Jesse and were ready to fight. Suddenly, the microwave door opened.

"Hey, everyone! Did you miss someone?"

Two legs inside blue jeans and Converse shoes came from the microwave. A girl with dirty blonde hair, a familiar face, and a Green Day shirt jumped from the microwave.

"...Okie?!" everyone in the room but the muffin shouted. Even the llamas and bunnies were stunned.

"We missed you so much!" came a cry from Elmo.

"Yeah! We missed you!" yelled Kat, Monday, and Mushroom.

"Okie what are you doing here? Won't your mom murder you if she finds out you're here?" Jesse asked.

"Oh, well you did summon the Army of Evil Penguin Soldiers, didn't you?" Okie said.

"Yeah, that's right!" Skyler said.

Okie stood with her arms crossed and her legs two feet apart. "Alright, people, let's get that muffin!" she said.

"Yeah, let's get the muffin," Jesse repeated.

"Well, let's not just stand here and talk about it... Let's go!" Okie yelled.

{Monica B. -Yay! I finally added Okie somewhere in there! And thanks Amber! Finally someone added with me!}

Kat nodded, "Sevvie has an attitude..." she said, smirking, "You did good Elmo!"

Elmo smirked, "You know it!" she laughed.

Kat turned to Skyler and glared, "And I heard your little comment Cookie King. I will get you after we finish off this muffin!" she said.

Skyler smiled nervously, "Urm... Yes ma'am, Muffin Queen, ma'am," he said, chuckling nervously.

Kat sighed and turned to the muffin, pushing a strand of hair from her face. "I feel bad you turned out so horrible. I feel bad that my army will be short a muffin, forever and always... It will be your fault!"

The muffin didn't seem affected by Kat's proclamation, though she didn't seem affected by the the fact the muffin wasn't affected, and the muffin didn't seem affected by that, and so on and so forth.

The muffin seemed to think for a moment and then looked at Jesse, "And where might your penguins be?" he asked in monotone.

Jesse smirked, "You're looking at them!" she replied.

The muffin's 'face' contorted into a surprised look and then turned back to 'normal'. "Well then, let's get this on!"

(Amber H. -Ha! Too bad I'm grounded and can only add at school...))

The shield didnt go up this time; There really was no reason to put it up.

All of the llamas disappeared from the room as Mushroom stepped up in front of Jesse. "Oh, Muffin... You want to see something really cool?"

"No, I want to defeat you all right here, right now!"

"Good luck," Mushroom said, raising her right hand. A llama came back into the room, and others followed that one.

One llama was a girl. "This one used to be my sister," Mushroom said.

"Used to be...?" Skyler asked.

"Yeah, until I turned her into one of my llamas! She's all mine now, aren't you, Chanelta?"

"Meehhh..."

"Alright, Chanelta... since you asked nicely..." Mushroom's left hand went straight up, and all of a sudden The Beatles started playing in the backgorund of it all.

"Coocoo-cachoo," came from the ceiling. They could barely understand the words, so it sounded like "Ah dee doo coocoo-cachoo, lala dee dum coocoo-cachoo."

"...Her favorite song," Mushroom said. "Monday, your turn!" The kitchen was overrun by llamas.

Monday raised her left foot and in came her black bunnies.

"Elmo..." Monday said. "Take it away!"

Elmo stepped up and raised her left arm. There were a lot of Elmo dolls walking around like mindless zombies. 'Yes, my dolls... come to your lord and master!' she thought.

Kat pushed her aside and raised up her right leg. Muffins of all different kinds fell from the ceiling.

Jesse and Okie stepped up, held hands, and everyone else joined their hands with them. Penguins came waddling from all different directions as the muffin. All of the animals pounced over at the muffin. Jesse, Chaya, Skyler, Tyler, Mushroom, Elmo, Kat, Okie, and Monday all released some sort of odd power-like lightning at the muffin as the animals were eating it.

"No! No, you cannot destroy me! Never! NOOOO!!!!"

Jesse and the others are now controlling whether or not the muffin can grow back together when eaten. The muffin was completely gone, not one crum left. Belches and grunts came from the animals, as if they all ate whole meals.

"Is it really... gone? For good?" asked Skyler.

"Yeah," said Kat.

"How do we... know?" Skyler asked.

"Oh, don't worry... I know," Kat said.

"Well, good," Jesse added.

"Yeah, I'm never eating another muffin ever again!" Chaya said.

"I am. Every time I see a muffin, I'm going to devour it. No muffin shall ever have form again unless it is mine!" Kat said.

"Or the Muffin Man's?!" Monday yelled blatantly.

"Isn't he the one who made the evil muffin?" asked Elmo.

"Oh yeah, the Muffin Man..." Kat said disappointedly.

"What about him?" Mushroom asked. She gasped and said, "What happened?"

"He..." Kat did not want to finish.

"He was killed by the evil muffin, okay?!" Elmo said.

"Oh my gosh," Tyler said, as gasping and "Oh no!"s and "Oh my!"s gathered in the room.

Kat's head was buried in her folded arms as she sunk to the floor, rubbing her back against the wall.

"Oh, Kat! They don't know!" Okie said. "Even Elmo doesn't know."

"Know what?" Elmo asked.

"The Muffin Man..." Kat said, about to break into tears.

"The Muffin Man was Kat's older brother," Okie finished.

"What?! You mean the dead Muffin Man is my cousin?!" Monday yelled, once again very blatantly.

"Oh my gosh, this is too much!" Elmo yelled, pushing passed Jesse, Skyler, and Mushroom in the doorway to the dining room from the kitchen. She found a suitable corner and crawled up in it. Okie walked in, as Jesse followed, pushing back anyone else who wanted to talk to Elmo.

"Elmo, it's okay," Jesse said, about to say something else.

"No. Kat is like my sister, because I spend so much time at her house playing Dance Dance Revolution with her and her brother... he was really like a brother to me, too."

"Well, don't cry in your emo corner... Emo Elmo!" Okie said, making Elmo laugh and pout at the same time. She was good at making people laugh when they're down, although it doesn't fully help. "It's okay. You still have us," Okie said.

"Yeah. Just because one of your many, many friends is gone doesn't mean you don't have many, many more friends. Best friends."

"Yeah, but it's still one less friend."

"Look, Elmo... You have all these great friends: Jesse, Skyler, Chaya, me, I hope, Monday, Kat, Mushroom, Tyler, Skittles, Liz, Magan, Tori, and your family," Okie said. "And don't forget about us just to use all that attention of yours on the Muffin Man. We feel your pain, but life... it moves on," she said.

Mushroom walked into the dining room, shoving past Jesse and Okie.

"Do you mind?" Jesse asked.

"Yeah, like I haven't been listening to you guys? Elmo... we are one big, huge family. What happens in families? People live and laugh with you, and you share so many memories with them, good and bad... but some of them move ahead of us... to a place of paradise... God's territory. We all knew the Muffin Man, and we all know how much of a good influence he was on us. Heck, our parents wanted us to hang around with Kat's older brother..."

"You're right," Elmo said. "But that also means that we are still here, without him."

"Stop it, Emo Elmo! Stop being to pessimistic about it! If you're going to be emo, then let's be..." Mushroom stood up, motioning Okie to stand up. At the same time, Okie and Mushroom said, "To the E, to the M, to the O - S - E - E - E - E - E - E - EMOS!" They got that from their names: Elmo, Mushroom, Okie, Skittles. EMOS.

Elmo laughed. "You guys are so weird," she said, laughing even harder.

Jesse's mom came into the kitchen and said, "Honey, what's going on?"

"Uh, you sort of got hypnotized by a diabolical muffin," Chaya said.

"Jesse, what in the world?!" her mom yelled, pointing at the mess of kitchen supplies all over the kitchen.

"Um, yeah that was the muffin's fault," Skyler said.

"Wait... You're trying to tell me, after I walk into the kitchen to find all of my kitchen utensils and stuff all over the place, that some evil muffin did it?"

"Actually..." Elmo said, "he did."

Jesse's mom looked at her like she was crazy, and then everyone else. They were all agreeing to Chaya and Elmo.

"Wait a second... what are all of you doing here?"

"Oh, they just came to help destroy the muffin and save you and Dad, that's all. You guys were hypnotized," Jesse said.

"Okay, I'm just going to go back into the closet in the bedroom, tell your father that there are no aliens from outer space, and come back out here after I get ready, in about an hour, to see this kitchen the way it was before I got 'hypnotized' by a muffin," her mom said.

"We'll get right on it, ma'am!" Skyler yelled in the position of a soldier from the Army.

Jesse's mom scoffed. "Yeah, okay. You just be sure another 'evil muffin' doesn't come back."

"Sure thing," Tyler said.

"Who are you?" Jesse's mom asked, also looking strangely at Okie and Mushroom.

"Oh, we're just three friends of Jesse's who came to help destroy the evil flesh-eating muffin," Okie said.

"Actually, it isn't flesh-eating," Skyler said.

"Whatever," Okie said.

"Everwhat," Mushroom said.

Okie laughed and said, "Whatever, Mushroom." She giggled.

"Everwhat, Okie."

"Whatever, don't make me use your middle name!"

"You do, and you'll be just like that muffin!"

"Oh, yeah, like you guys would actually sick mutant bunnies, llamas, penguins, and Elmos on me and make them eat me!"

"No, actually they're still full from the muffin," Elmo said.

"Okay, you guys, let's get this crapola cleaned up before J's parents come in here!" Chaya said.

"Yeah," Kat said.

They all went into the kitchen and cleaned everything up and put everything in their places. They even organized all the foods, drinks, pots, pans, utensils, and cooking supplies in the cabinets, pantries, and refridgerator. They even scrubbed the floors, counters, and cabinets. The kitchen looked perfect. Jesse's mom came in and looked all around the kitchen.

"My goodness. This is the cleanest and most organized kitchen I've ever seen!" she said, going through everything.

"Well, that's what you have with nine kids and an hour in the kitchen!" Skyler said.

"Thank you all. I still don't quite remember anything. All we remember is seeing you three in the kitchen when we got home," Jesse's mom said, referring to her father, too.

"Hey, what if you all stay the night? We can even cook a big dinner and dessert for your parents and us, Jess! How about it, Mr. and Mrs. Z?!" Chaya asked.

"What about the guys?" Jesse's mother said.

"Well, Tyler and Skyler. -Hey, that rhymed!- can stay in the small guest room when it's time to go to sleep, although we //are// going to stay up pretty late," Jesse said.

"That sounds good. Are you girls planning on sleeping in Jesse's room or the large guest room?" Jesse's mom asked.

"The large guest room is larger, and we can all fit better. We can take a bunch of blow-up mattresses, pillows, and blankets to sleep on, too," Jesse said.

"Sounds good," Kat said.

"Wait, we need to call our parents first," Elmo said.

Mushroom, Elmo, and Kat pulled out their cell phones.

"Great. Everybody has a cell phone but me," Monday said.

"What about me?" Tyler said.

"Um, hello? And me? Mine was taken away, remember?" Okie said.

All the girls went into the large guest room to call their parents. They all said it was okay. They weren't having school that week, anyways. Tyler used Jesse's cell phone. He came into the living room with his head down, his stuff in his hands.

"You guys, I hope you have fun without me," he said.

"What? You can't leave!" Kat said.

Everyone was telling him he wasn't allowed to leave and they didn't want him to go.

"Well, now I know how much you guys love me, wanting me to stay. Well, I guess I'll see you..."

He was walking out the door, everyone wondering how he would get back to Alabama.

"Psych!" he yelled, turning around, tossing his stuff down. "I really got you guys, didn't I?"

"No, not really," Elmo said.

"Huh?" Tyler said.

"You had no way of getting home, even if you were being serious," Monday said.

"Aww, you guys are no fun. How am I supposed to get you when you never fall for anything?"

Everyone shook their heads, thinking of how pathetic Tyler can sometimes be.

"Give it up," Monday said.

{Monica B.}

Kat rolled her eyes nad hit Tyler on the back of the head. "Did you think we would think that you were going to walk all the way back to Cullman, baka!?" she asked.

Tyler smirked. "Maybe," he said.

Kat growled, "Boys..." She rolled her eyes again and walked out, playing a game on her cell phone.

Elmo sighed. "Kat! Get back in here! Give me the phone! There will be no cellphones tonight! Got it!?" she yelled after Kat before walking after her.

There was playful arguing heard in the next room from the two girls until they came into the room where everyone else was again. They were standing side by side, backs to each other. Elmo had a muffin. This should be interesting...

Elmo turned around, "I got a promotion, I'm so much more eviller than you."

Kat turned and glared, "No."

"Yes I am," Elmo whined.

"You know that taste you get in your mouth when you drink orange juice and brush your teeth?" Kat asked, still glaring.

Elmo shivered, "Ugh, I hate that!"

Kat smirked, "I love it!"

Elmo gasped.

"You like puppies?" Kat asked.

Elmo took a nibble of the muffin, nodded and swallowed, "Yes,"she said.

Kat smirked even more, "I kick them!"

By this time everyone was laughing, they knew exactly what their friends were doing. It was a skit based off of a comic they had read and reread a million times.

Elmo gasped.

"And that muffin your eating?" Kat smirked, indicating toward Elmo's muffin.

Elmo shook her head slightly, clutching the muffin to her chest.

"I... Dropped... It... On the floor!!!" Kat proclaimed in a rather dramatic way.

Elmo fell to her knees, "NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Elmo and Kat looked around. "Why is everyone laughing?" they asked simultaneously before glaring at each other.

"That's really annoying..." Kat murmured.

Everyone was still laughing, finally Kat and Elmo exchange 'A look' and started laughing.

Mushroom was the the first to stop laughing, "So... Are we role playing tonight?"

Everyone shrugged as if to say 'Sure' except Tyler.

Kat was wide eyed with shock, "Don't tell me... You don't know how to role play?"

Tyler looked down. "Nope..."

Kat fainted.

Elmo looked at Tyler. "Look what you did!" she said. She was trying so hard not to laugh. She knew Kat was good at faking things, but not this good. Either she really did faint, or she had gotten better at faking.

(Amber H.)

Elmo nudged Kat with her foot. "I think she's dead..." she said.

"...Can I poke her?" Mushroom asked.

"...Sure," Elmo said slowly.

"Maybe Stuarts martians will come and get her," Monday said. "You know, they're --"

Kat grabbed her leg. "Don't say it!" she said. The word Monday was going to say was "pretty," but Kat, Mushroom, and Elmo thought she would have said "gay." It was off of some silly story Monday had written one day when she was bored. It had to do with a guy named Stuart who lived in a trailer park, and he and his buddy were talking about gay martians stealing their crops. It would be best if you wouldn't ask...

"I was //going// to say pretty," Monday said.

"Well, that isn't what you said in the trailer park story!" Kat said.

"Okay, can we please just get on with role playing?" Jesse asked.

All of a sudden, the front door busted open. Who was it coming through?

Daphne!

"Did somebody say... Role playing?!" she yelled, with her fists on her hips and mysterious wind blowing in her direction.

"Daphne!" yelled Elmo, Kat, Monday, and Mushroom.

"Daffy, how did you get here?" Elmo asked.

"I drove, silly!"

"You... drive? But you're not old enough, are you?" Kat asked.

"Well, sure I am. My mom was in the passenger's seat," she said, as if it were so obvious.

{Monica B.}

"You know what? I don't really want to roleplay right now," Monday blurted out. She pulled out a Moutain Dew bottle from her pocket and walked to a corner on the other side of the room and sat down.

"Uhhh...okay..." Kat said staring at Monday as she began talking to one of her bunnies that was now sitting on her knee.

{Monica D.}

"Good for you," Mushroom said, walking into the living room.

Kat shook her head and looked at everyone else. "Soo... What kind of role play shall we do? I mean... Nothing too active. We just got through fighting a demented, people-posessing, talking muffin... Which was created by my deceased brother who didn't pay attention in muffin school! Truthfully... It's all his fault. He added raspberries to it... You don't add raspberries to a muffin..."

Elmo sighed, she knew this was Kat's way of mourning; making fun of and blaming her older brother.

(Amber H.)

"Well, instead of sitting here talking about it, why don't we just do the stupid role playing game, already?" Chaya said.

Okie stepped closer to Mushroom and Elmo.

"Uh... What's a 'role play'?"

"Oh my gosh," Elmo said.

"Just wait," Mushroom replied.

"Is it like cherades?" Okie asked.

"Not really," Kat said.

"Aw... Then I'd rather do that instead." She smiled really big and said, "Please!"

Jesse turned around to face her sitting down next to Mushroom, clinging to her arm in a begging way.

"How //dare// you try to replace role playing with cherades!"

"It's no big deal. Here... We can play cherades first and then role play," Elmo said.

Everyone seemed to agree using body language.

"Who's first?" Okie asked.

"Ooh! Let's do it in pairs!" Chaya yelled out.

Everyone seemed to be ignoring Monday, clenching her Mountain Dew, rocking back and forth in a corner.

Skyler walked over to her.

"Does somebody need a hug?"

"Who, me? No, psh... Nah," Monday said, really sarcastic and quickly.

Skyler just looked at her funny because she didn't want a hug.

He just kept staring at her until she finally yelled out, "Yes, I want a hug!"

He chuckled at her, and finally knelt down to hug her. She hid her Mountain Dew, her fifteenth one, and hugged him back.

Jesse walked in to see what Skyler was up to. She ran over, put her arms around Skyler, and pulled him off of her.

"No, Skyler! Don't kill her!" Of course, she was just joking, but Monday glared at her in disgust.

"Well, if you refuse to let him hug me, then I'll just hug you, instead!"

Monday got up, exposing her Mountain Dew, and literally glomped Jesse to the floor. Jesse sat still, thinking she would let go of her if she did nothing. Monday just kept hugging Jesse, on the floor, and Elmo walked in and saw Skyler tilting his head, looking down at them with one squinted eye.

"Um... Did I miss something?"

"Nope, nothing out of the ordinary here," Jesse managed to get out of her mouth.

"Um... Just making sure."

Jesse pushed Monday off of her and got up off of the floor.

"Glomp me one more time, Mountain Dew lady!"

Jesse pointed her finger in Monday's face, as Monday said, "I will if you want me to..."

"And you'll pay!"

"Both of you knock it off," Chaya said.

"Make me," Monday said.

"I will if you want me to..." Chaya replied.

Monday glared at her. "Man, you are going to have a hard time doing that!"

Elmo came in and said, "Everybody! Shut it and let's have a good time!"

"Who's not having a good time?" Jesse asked.

"Me! Do I have to listen to you guys all night?"

"Okay, fine. Let's just role play," Chaya said.

They all went into the living room, and Monday sat in a corner with her Mountain Dew and helped judge what role play was good or not.

The girls role played all night until midnight, when they forced Skyler and Tyler to leave. When they left, the girls played truth or dare. That morning, Jesse's mom made breakfast: Scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, and grits. They ate and then Jesse searched in the entertainment center. She finally stopped and showed everyone her Naruto DVDs.

"I've got DVDs! Believe it!"

"Oooh!!! Naruto!!!" Okie yelled.

"Sabaku No Gaara is mine! Mine, I tell you!" Monday yelled out.

"MINE!!!!" Jesse yelled, her eyes wide.

"And Itachi's yours, Kat. And Sasuke's mine!" Elmo said.

"And I'm stuck with..." Mushroom said, being interrupted by Monday.

"...Kakashi!" "That, or Rock Lee!" Kat said.

"Or Gai Sensai," Elmo said.

"I think I like Kakashi best," Mushroom said. She grabbed a carton of milk from the refridgerator and started moving it around in her hand. She noticed a picture of a cow on the side. "Heh heh... Moo... Heh... Dance, cow, dance!"

Elmo got up from the kitchen table, purposely fell to the ground beside Monday, and said, "Nar-u-to... Tell my Fangirls... I'm... not... gay... blech."

"Ooh! Let's draw on her face!" Kat yelled. Elmo got up and said, "Just because I went 'blech' doesn't mean I died!"

They were imitating a few parts of the Ablidged Series of Naruto.

Later, they all watched Naruto DVDs and Mushroom got a call on her cell. It was her dad. She went on the front porch and took the call. She, later, came back in, with her phone flipped open held in her hand by her side, and said, "When are you planning on taking us home, anybody?"

"Umm... eight... tonight...?" Elmo said.

"You sure?"

"Yeah!"

"Okay!" She walked back outside and later came back and said, "Okay I'm back!"

When she went back inside, everyone had fixed their eyes on the television. Naruto was on. Mushroom closed the door and walked into the living room.

"Sshhhhh!!!!" Jesse said.

Mushroom rolled her eyes and sat on the couch. Everyone else, except Kat and Okie, were on the floor. Mushroom had squished herself between them. Elmo turned around and gave them an odd look. Okie started to laugh as Mushroom gave Elmo the evil glare as Elmo turned back around. Later on, when they had watched about three Naruto DVDs, Jesse got up and said, "I'm tired of Naruto. Who wants to play a game?"

"What kind?" Elmo asked.

Jesse looked around with her finger on her mouth, and finally said, "I know! Who Wants to be an Elmo?!"

"... Um... sure," Kat said, slowly.

"Uhh... How do you, uh, play?" Skyler asked.

"Uhr... It's simple!" Jesse said. "All you do is answer a few questions, and Elmo will pick three of the most Elmo-like people to come up here, and then give you all... one minute to write down as many things about her that are true. The one who has the most true things about her on their paper wins! So... Who wants to be an Elmo?!"

"Okay, sure," everyone said.

Jesse lined everyone up and then put herself in. Elmo then said, "Okay. I am going to ask a question, and when I do, I need one of you to 'buzz in' or just get my attention and answer me. Each time you get one right, come one inch up. When I think three of you are close enough, I will go on to the next part. Ready?" Everyone nodded and stepped back a bit and lined themselves up level.

"The first question... How many actual siblings do I have?"

Monday raised her hand first, then Mushroom, then Jesse, then Kat.

"Okay, Monday."

"Four!"

"I'm sorry, no. Mushroom?"

"Three?"

"Correct! Move up one inch!"

This went on and on until Jesse finally made her decision. Jesse stopped for a second and finally said, "Alright, I believe my mind is made up. Okie, you're out. Elmo, you're in. Mushroom, you're out. Chaya, you're in. Monday, you're out. Finally, you, Skyler, are in. Everyone else, out."

Tyler looked around. He was the farthest person back. He stepped out and sat on the couch, as Mushroom, Monday, Okie, and Kat followed.

"This is so gay," Tyler whispered.

"No, it's not... You are!" Kat said.

"You're just jealous because you can't be as good-looking as me!"

Kat laughed, more as a scoff.

"Well, if you're so 'cute,' then why am I, this ugly girl, the only girl who likes you? Heh... I don't even like you. You're so annoying!"

"Am not!"

"Yeah, you... kind of are," Monday said.

"No offense, but... yeah," Okie said. Mushroom just ignored the conversation. She hated to get into this stuff.

"Well, like you have any room to talk?! You're all annoying, too!"

"Would you all just drop it?! I'm sick of hearing this crapola!" Mushroom said.

"Make me," Monday said.

"Look, we're all annoying. There is no person in this room who isn't annoying. Duh, how did you figure we are such good friends?!"

"Good point," Kat said. Jesse interrupted as she yelled out, "Winner!"

"What? Who won?" Okie asked.

"You would have known if you weren't over there bickering," Chaya said.

"Well," Jesse said, "I can give you a hint. //He// is out."

"What?! You mean your own boyfriend didn't even make it?" Kat asked.

"Nope," Elmo said. Kat and Tyler were whispering back and forth, fighting. All of a sudden, Kat yelled out in his face, "Ugh! I can't take it anymore! It's over, four-eyes!"

"Who are you calling four-eyes? You have glasses, too, hypocrite!"

"Aghem," Elmo and Monday said. "We do, too, but that's not the point!"

Tyler snatched his stuff that was laying on the floor and headed toward the door, but stopped in front of Mushroom.

"Can I use your cell?" he asked.

"Sure," she said, having a hard time getting it out since she was sitting down.

"Thanks."

He went outside, with a harsh look on his face.

"Well, that went... well," Okie said.

"Yeah," Kat said.

"Always a swell time," Monday said.

Jesse looked around. "Doesn't anyone else think Tyler's about to break into madness?"

"I do, but he has a right to," Okie said.

Suddenly, the front door opened. Tyler walked in and sat down.

"Well, that was quick," Elmo said.

"Doesn't take long to tell my dad I'm ready to leave."

"Tyler, don't leave," Elmo said.

"Why not? I can't stay here. I don't belong here. Jesse's your friend, and I'm just intruding."

"Says who? I like you here!" Jesse said.

"So do I," Chaya said.

"Yeah," said everyone else but Kat. She then ran into the bathroom. She stayed there for a long time.

"Man, Tyler. Maybe you should leave," Monday said.

"Monday!" Elmo said. "Don't!"

"Anyways, Elmo won the game," Chaya said as Elmo grinned.

"Yeah, yeah, we know," Skyler said.

"I didn't," Okie said.

"Well you do now," he said.

Hours after talking and rambling, they finally realized that it was about time to leave, and Tyler was still there. Elmo's mom knocked on the door, then came in as Jesse's mom opened the door.

"No! I don't want to go!" Elmo said.

"Too bad," her mom replied.

Everyone gathered their things and headed home after long good-byes. Soon after, Jesse had to use the bathroom.

[Monica B.]

[As soon as she got home] Monday walked over to a carton of milk that was sitting on the counter and picked it up.

"I wonder what the milk is doing here?"

'Hmm I wonder why Kakashi and Mushroom like shaking this freakin milk so much,' she thought bringing the milk carton to her ear and shaking it lightly.

"Moo?" Monday whispered softly and as if it was on some sort of voice activation a small voice began to speak from the carton of milk. Monday raised her eyebrow suspiciouly and brought the milk carton closer to her ear only to hear...

"Hello and welcome to Fluffy paradise the book on tape...read to you by Arnold Swatzanager**...Chapter One: Cherry Blossom Romance Forever...'You have to get out of the village,' said Jimmy. "The cherry blossoms are coming...and they're going to take my tortillas...get that cow out of the way!"

"Holy crap!!" Monday squeaked and threw the carton of milk all the way across the room, only for it to hit the wall and explode.

Twitching slighty Monday picked up the phone only to be stopped by a sudden movement beside her. She turned quickly and gasped as she saw the milk sitting on the table as if she had never thrown it.

With that she raised her eyebrow and began to dial the number for Elmo's cellphone.

First evil demented muffins, now evil perverted milk cartons that won't explode...when will the madness end?

"E? I think we may have a problem..."

She looked once more at where the carton of milk should have been only for it to not be there.

[Monica D...ack =]]**

"Um, yeah... We kinda left Kat at Jesse's house... I know," Elmo replied.

"No, it's much worse," Monday said.

"Worse than leaving Kat all the way in Tennessee?"

"Yes... Evil, perverted milk cartons!"

"Monday, shut up. We have just went through this big muffin thing and now you want to tell me that the cartons of milk have turned evil and perverted? That's it; you've been watching way too much internet."

"Um, no. I'm actually being serious... I decided to find out why Mushroom and Kakashi liked talking to the milk cartons... so I said moo, too. The thing is, the milk carton... talks back. And when I throw it at the wall, it doesn't explode!" Elmo started to interupt her, "It would not explode, Elmo! You don't understand! It's terrible!" Monday's voice was starting to sound froggy, and it sounded like she was about to burst into tears from paranoia.

"Well, we seem to have left Kat with Jesse, so I think I will go now..." She hung up.

"No! When will it all end?!"

Back in Tennessee...

As Jesse turned the doorknob, she felt a little... out of place. "Man, what am I missing?" She felt something inside her pushing her away from the bathroom as she got closer to opening the door completely.

"Toilet paper!" She had remembered Monday complaining about there not being any toilet paper in the bathroom. When she came back with toilet paper at hand, the door was no longer shut like she had left it. It was wide open. She walked in to see that the light was on.

Back in Alabama...

Monday woke up at the dinner table seeing the milk carton next to her as she raised her head up. "...Cow," she mumbled, glaring at the picture of a cow on the side of the blue 2% milk carton. She picked it up and shook it. "Heh... moo. Heh heh... dance, cow, dance!" She was having fun. "What's the matter, cow? Can't dance as emo as Sasuke?!" She was losing herself to Naruto for a few minutes until she finally remembered that it wouldn't explode. "Stupid cow!" She threw it against the wall, at a rather high area, and bounced off without a scratch. "What the... First it won't explode, but now it's indestructable?" She looked around and decided to grab the carton of milk. She read around the nutrition facts and finally came across, in small print, "New! Indestructable cartons!" "Okay, now I have officially lost it," said Monday.

Back in Tennessee...

Jesse was about to walk around the corner and into the bathroom as the phone rang. She jumped, not expecting it. She ran down the hallway, hurrying to get the phone, as she tripped over her robe. "Son of a..." She looked around and finally got up. She reached for the phone. "Hello, you've reached the I-don't-give-a-you-know-what residence. Jesse speaking."

"Jesse, um... Where's Kat?" Elmo was on the other end.

"She left with you, didn't sh... Oh crap! Be right back!" she slammed the wireless phone onto the table and ran inside the bathroom. Kat wasn't there. She ran back to get the phone. "She was in the bathroom before, right? Wasn't she?! I know she was! But when I went to use the bathroom, and I came back with toilet paper, and... and... the door... was wide open and the light was on! She must have left the bathroom!" Jesse was talking so fast, Elmo couldn't understand a word except "light" and "bathroom" and "toilet paper." "I'll go find her,"Jesse said, and hung up. She searched all around her house and couldn't find her anywhere. 'Maybe she left with Chaya,' she thought. 'Yeah... I just didn't see her walk out the door...'

She thought to herself about the whole muffin situation. She walked around and randomly opened the closet door in the hallway. There Kat was, in the floor, passed out, the muffin sitting right next to her... "Aaahh!!" Jesse just screamed in horror.
