Tess

The story tank turns red. I won.

"It's official. Henry is scared!" My spookiness still works to my advantage. Uncle Ray turns the music back on. Hen lifts up the visor and seems to slow his breathing a bit when he looks at me. 

"That was a great story, Tess!"

"Thanks." 

"That wasn't a story. That was actually my fear." 

"I thought you couldn't be scared."

"Okay, I lied but, my fear involves with something that I'm afraid to admit at the moment." 

"Well it looks like everything worked out."

"Sure it did, buddy." I do end up saying sorry to Hen later for that story and he seems to forgive me very quickly. Almost too quickly. 

Days later - Man Cave

Uncle Ray, Hen, and I get back from fighting the Burrito Brothers...Why is there jar of God knows what on the cart?

"Man. What is it about fighting the Burrito Brothers that makes me stupid hungry?" Most likely the name but, why is there a jar of I wanna say alien eggs? 

"Stupid starving."

"I mean, is it the name?"

"I am stupid starving."

"Because right now I am the Spanish word for hungry. For the Spanish word for food."

"I could literally eat a fully-grown Spanish person right now." And Uncle Ray just noticed the jar. 

"Hold up, hold up, hold up...Are these lee-cheese?"

"I think it's lie-cheese, dude."

"You know, the fruit?"

"It's pronounced Lychee and it doesn't look like it."

"Nah, lie-cheese."

"That you can eat?"

"You keep saying lee-cheese. It's lie-cheese."

"It's Lychee!"

"-Cuz right now, I could eat a whole bunch of lee-cheese. I'll get down with this whole jar of lee-cheese while you sit there telling me something I do not care about at all."

"Okay, you know what? I'm starving, I'm eating a lie-chee."

"Lychee and I wouldn't eat those if I were you." Hen grabs one of the eggs. 

"Wait!"

"What?"

"This is a bad idea." Thank you!

"Why?"

"Because, dude. You don't even know...how good I am catching food in my mouth." Dear Lord. 

"I am also very good at catching food in my mouth."

"Welllll, I feel I'm probably a little better." 

"Wellll, you say that about everything and you're almost always wrong." Why are they doing this?

"Oh yeah? You wanna go?"

"You wanna go?"

"Let's do this thing." Uncle Ray and Hen each grab eggs and start doing this stupid food catching thing. 

"Okay okay okay toss me one here we go."

"Alright, I'm ready. I'm ready!"

"Alright alright alright alright alright here we go you ready? Here it comes. My bad my bad."
