Turakii grabbed an apple from the basket on the counter, rubbed it clean with his wrist armor, and threw himself into his computer chair. He opened his mouth to take a bite. "An apple a day keeps the..."
"What!?" LarryBoy cried from his place beside the flat-screen monitor.
Turakii lowered his apple, mouth still open, and stared at LarryBoy.
"You were going to EAT that apple, weren't you?" LarryBoy asked suspiciously.
"Uh...yeah," Turakii said.
"How dare you!? That's cannibalism, you know!" LarryBoy hopped forward and peered into Turakii's eyes.
Turakii blinked. "No, it's not. I'm a Matoran, not a vegetable."
"Who cares!?" LarryBoy jumped around the desk. "It's terrible! Horrible! That poor, helpless apple, just trying to live out its life in the fruit basket... and then, along comes you, a big, hungry, horrible monster! And you pick him and prepare to take a bite! Only by the quick reflexes of LarryBoy is he..." The cucumber missed his footing.
PLUNK!
Turakii picked LarryBoy up by one plunger ear and placed him back on the desk. "So what do you think we should eat instead? We have to eat something ---and not oatmeal!" he added quickly.
LarryBoy shook the stars from his head and closed his eyes dizzily. "Everything's...spinning..."
"Yum, apple," Turakii said loudly.
LarryBoy opened one eye and glared at Turakii. "You mean Matoran, you!" He opened the other eye. "I think what everyone should do is stop eating produce altogether! Simply get to know them, and talk with them a little every day. Who knows? The dream of every vegetable could come true...harmony between produce and man."
"Um...I'm a Matoran," Turakii put in.
"And here you are! You're sitting here, ready to bite into that apple! Well, go eat something else! Like meat! There's plenty of meat in the world, and you don't have to go around eating innocent apples!"
"Meat?"
LarryBoy looked up into Turakii's red Ruru imploringly. "Is a taste worth a cucumber's life, Turakii?"
Turakii looked down at his apple and sighed. He tossed it back into the fruit basket. "You know, LarryBoy, someday I think you're either going to kill me of malnutrition or drive me insane."
LarryBoy nodded, pretending to understand, and settled into Turakii's lap. "So, what are we going to blog today?"
Moral: Never eat in front of a cucumber.
LarryBoy: That's right.
