King Nixel: (Calm) *Rings doorbell & Major Nixel answers by opening the door of his room* Well Major, I made it. Despite your directions.

Major Nixel: (Happy) Ah, your highness! I hope you're ready for an unforgettable luncheon!

King Nixel: Yes.. *Sits down on a chair next to a table while Major Nixel goes in the kitchen*

In the kitchen, there were a few nixels frantically attempting to put out a fire in the oven, while a couple nixels were running in circles, screaming.

Major Nixel: (Worried) OH MY NIX! *Closes the door behind him so King Nixel wouldn't hear him* MY ROAST IS RUINED!

Major Nixel thought of an idea, an idea that he thought might save his reputation.

Major Nixel: (Scheming) But what if... I were to get food from the mess hall and disguise it as my own cooking? (Devilish) Oh-ho-ho, delightfully devilish, Major Nixel! *Tries to climb out of the window*

King Nixel then opened the door to find Major Nixel who was climbing out of the window, but he stopped when they made eye contact.

King Nixel: (Stern) Major, what are you doing?

Major Nixel: (Trying to look calm) Oh, hey King Nixel! Just.. doing my exercise for my calves on the.. window! Care to join me?

King Nixel: Explain the smoke coming out of your oven, and all the nixels.

Major Nixel: O-oh. They just thought the steam from the steamed clams we're having was smoke!

The nixels: (Confused) Huh?

King Nixel: Hm, make sure the food gets done right. *Leaves the kitchen and goes back to his spot*

Major Nixel: (Relived) Phew. *Exits the kitchen through the window*

The nixels: *Continues to try to put out the fire*

We now see King Nixel back on his chair while Major Nixel exits the kitchen with a plate of hamburgers in hand.

Major Nixel: (Happy) I hope you're ready for some mouth-watering hamburgers!

King Nixel: (Confused) I thought we were having steamed clams.

Major Nixel: Oh, no! I said "steamed HAMS", that's what I call hamburgers!

King Nixel: ..You call hamburgers "steamed hams"?

Major Nixel: Yes.

King Nixel: (Calm) ...Very well. *Bites his hamburger*

There was a pause in the conversation.

King Nixel: You know, these hamburgers look a lot like the ones back at the mess hall.

Major Nixel: (Nervous) W-what? No! They're not like those, they're from an old family recipe! Old-fashioned Major Nix-Burgers!

King Nixel: ....

King Nixel: (Stern) So you call your burgers "steamed hams" despite them being obviously grilled? *Shows Major Nixel the grilled patty from his burger*

There was another pause in the conversation.

Major Nixel: Well, you know.... one thing I should-.... Excuse me for one second. *Quickly enters the kitchen*

Major Nixel: (Relieved) *Gets out of the kitchen and yawns* Well, I'm pooped. Alright, see you soon, your Flatulence.

King Nixel: Yes, I guess I should be- (Angry) OH MY NIX, WHAT IS GOING ON IN YOUR KITCHEN!?

Major Nixel: (Nervous) Uh... another Infernite attack?

King Nixel: Wha- ANOTHER INFERNITE ATTACK!? At this time of year, at this time of day, even when we haven't done ANYTHING to them yet, and in your kitchen?

Major Nixel: Yes.

*Awkward silence*

King Nixel: (Calm) May I see it?

Major Nixel: ....No.

Major Nixel & King Nixel walk out of the building.

Nixie: (Angry) MAJOR NIXEL! KING NIXEL! THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE!

Major Nixel: (Calm) Yeah, from the Infernite attack!

Nixie: BUT MAJOR, I DON'T SEE ANY INFERNITES, JUST FIRE!

King Nixel: You know, you may be an odd one, but you do steam a good ham.

Nixie: HEEELP! HEEEEELP!

Major Nixel gives a thumbs-up and then runs inside the house to put out the fire.

THE END!
