76 - Short Cut

Goose Man jolted a bit as if he had realized something. Lusha turned over to Goose Man and asked, "Something wrong?"

Goose Man stared off into the distance and simply said, "The cheese was successful." Lusha and Emberlyn just looked at him with confused looks on their faces.

Floran stood up, holding her head in pain. "What happened?" she asked herself in a groggy voice. She looked around to realize that they had escape centipede world. She turned around to see that Octopus Man and Kookakoo were unconscious. "I'm really confused." she said to herself.

Cutecumber stood up and did a heroic pose before saying, "I killed the centipede all by myself!" Brazilian Bug Boy stood up and punched her shoulder. "Stop lying. The centipede just tripped on that stupid block of cheese." he clarified. Cutecumber rubbed her shoulder in pain.

Floran shook her head in disbelief. "And what happened to those two?" she asked, pointing at Octopus Man and Kookakoo.

"They also tripped on the cheese." Brazilian Bug Boy replied.

Floran seemed unamused. "Honestly, I'm tired. I just want to go to the Kingdom of Act, or whatever was next." she said in a tired voice.

Octopus Man suddenly woke up and shouted, "Did someone say biscuits!" They all looked at him. "No." Floran replied in a monotone voice.

"NOOOO!" Octopus Man yelled in aguish. He fell to his knees. Kookakoo then stood up suddenly, "WAIT BISCUITS?" she said excitedly.

"No. For God's sake, there are no biscuits." Floran said once again. Kookakoo also fell on her knees and began to scream in anguish.

Floran rolled her eyes and walked up to Wushadabu. "And you. I'm not done with you." she said menacingly. Wushadabu backed away in fear.

"I told you, I'm innocent!" Wushadabu reiterated, adjusting her glasses nervously. "Yeah Floran, she's innocent!" Strawbetty added.

"WHY ARE YOU SUPPORTING HER SO MUCH?" Floran yelled in confusion. Strawbetty sighed and replied, "Because now that I think about it, Wushadabu is really dumb."

"Yeah, she's got a good point." Cutecumber said. "Yeah, I can see Wushadabu mistaking a human for a strawberry." Brazilian Bug Boy added.

Wushadabu nodded. "Yeah, I'm just stupid!" she stated. Floran leaned her head back in exhaustion. "Whatever. Fine." she said reluctantly.

Floran then turned to Octopus Man and Kookakoo. "Stop crying and come on. We're wasting time." she commanded. Octopus Man and Kookakoo suddenly stood up and saluted her. "YES MA'AM!" they shouted.

"What was the point in any of this?" Brazilian Bug Boy asked, scratching the back of his head. "No clue." Cutecumber replied.

"Well, my life was saved, which is pretty cool I guess." Strawbetty said with a huge smile.

As they left the shack, Wushadabu waved bye to them. "Have a blessed day my dearest friends." she said.

As they walk out, Boomerang looks down on them. "Hey guys. How was it." he asked. "We almost died a gruesome death." Octopus Man replied nonchalantly.

Lusha involuntarily busted into laughter upon hearing this. Emberlyn looked at her with a pouty expression. "That wasn't nice. They almost died."

"Don't worry we're okay." Floran said in a reassuring tone.

Octopus Man, Kookakoo, Cutecumber, and Brazilian Bug Boy began climbing Boomerang. Floran was about to do the same, but facepalmed in realization before she did. "I left Goose Man's hanger in the shack." she said to herself.

"Don't worry. I have it right here!" Goose Man shouted, waving his hanger. "But how?" Floran asked.

"Don't question the goose." he said in a serious tone.

As Brazilian Bug Boy sat on Boomerang, he pointed down at Strawbetty who was still on the ground. "Hey, isn't she supposed to give us a short cut to the Kingdom of Act?"

Strawbetty smiled and nodded. She took out a machete and stabbed Boomerang. "OWWW!" Boomerang yelled in pain.

They were suddenly teleported to a field of strawberries. They all looked around in confusion. "Wait what?" Cutecumber said to herself.

Strawbetty put the machete away and smiled cutely before saying, "I told you I would give you a short cut, so I gave the dinosaur a short cut.

"Short? That cut pierced every one of my vital organs." Boomerang said, gasping for air. "And my name's Boomerang." he concluded. Strawbetty put out her hands which had a pile of strawberries in them. "Eat them, they will make you feel better."

Boomerang hesitantly lowered his neck to eat the strawberries out of her hands. His round instantly healed. "I feel so much better!" she said happily.

The rest of them climbed down from Boomerang. "So this is the Kingdom of Act huh?" Octopus Man said. "I didn't expect it to be a strawberry field." Lusha said with a smirk.

"Well, this is simply the Strawberry District. There are 5 districts that make up the Kingdom of Act. Strawberry, Purple, Wood, Detergent, and Capital." Strawbetty explained.

"Well, let's go to capital then." Floran said, beginning to walk away. "BUT WAIT!" Boomerang said. "This is a herbivorous dinosaur's dream. A field of strawberries." he stated.

"Fine. Eat them while we go to Capital District, but don't get lost again or else!" Floran said with narrowed eyes. "Okay, I promise!" Boomerang replied.

"Good." Floran concluded, turning around to go to Capital District. "Hey uh..." Strawbetty said, not knowing her name. "My name is Floran if you didn't know." Floran said.

"Oh, okay Floran. What I was about to say was, why are you going to Capital District?" Strawbetty asked. "Well, it's kind of like the plot of this series. We go from capital to capital to get to the Triune which is a group of three gods." Floran explained.

"But Capital is the slum of this country. Our countries capital of Detergent District, obviously." Strawbetty responded.

"YEAH FLORAN! OBVIOUSLY!" Kookakoo shouted.

Octopus Man ran past them and smiled. "I'll take the lead to go to Detergent." he said, pulling out his map. "I know the way." he concluded.

Kookakoo walked up to Octopus Man and whispered, "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Octopus Man nodded in response. "Biscuit shop here we come."

Lusha overheard their conversation and laughed to herself. "Floran's going to be so pissed." she said to herself.

Finally, after 2 trillion hours, Mr. Fluffypants exits the previous biscuit shop. "We finally did all of those dishes." Rit followed closely behind him and dug her elbow into his head. "You didn't do anything. You never do anything." she stated harshly.

"OW OW OW OW!" Mr. Fluffypants screamed.

The Number 7 hovered behind them as well. Rit looked up and lowered her arm when she saw Nalay and Malum who were still there, playing rock paper scissor dragon truck couch elephants.

"I hate this game. You always win." Malum said sadly. Nalay just snickered to herself.

Rit gritted her teeth in anger. "It's you, the one who left us to do those dishes!" she shouted. Nalay looked over at her and shrugged. "Yeah yeah. According to my sister, it was Mr. Fluffypants' fault." she said.

"Yeah, it was his fault, but you still abandoned us." Rit yelled. "And? You wouldn’t be in this situation if it wasn't for him." Nalay replied.

Mr. Fluffypants began to get nervous. He shook his head trying to get Nalay to stop talking. Rit started thinking to herself. "You know what? You're right. Everything that has happened was all his fault." she said aloud. Mr. Fluffypants gulped in fear.

She drew her sword and started chasing him. "GET BACK HERE SO I CAN RIP YOUR HEAD OFF!" she yelled. "HELP ME!" Mr. Fluffypants cried in fear.

The Number 7 simply stood there and didn't help at all like the good friend he was.
