The World Until Yesterday (BFDI)

The Maze of Mayonnaise

Leafy's POV:

Alrighty! Today is officially my first school day at Happyrock. I was the first one awake. Everybody else was still asleep, which made sense considering the time was ten minutes to 6am. I looked in the fridge, and all that was in there were jars and jars of mayonnaise. How did all these mayonnaise jars get here? Is this some sort of prank? I thought to myself. I then decided that it was too early to eat breakfast so I sat down on the couch and looked at the stars. There wasn't that much artificial lighting in Mukmuk Land, so you could see them really clearly. I blinked, and all of a sudden, there were jars of mayonnaise everywhere! On the table, in the couch, under the bed, in the toilet, and even floating in the air. I guess I had no choice but to eat mayonnaise out of a jar for breakfast. Probably for lunch and dinner too. But seriously, how the heck did all this mayonnaise get here anyways? This is considered normal, Firey?

Firey's POV: 

It's the first day of grade 8, meaning no more vacation and more education! Firey, that rhymed! Shush your face, voice in my head. Today's also Mayonnaise Appreciation Day, so I could expect to be greeted by hundreds of jars of mayonnaise. It's an awesome tradition. Looking downstairs, I could already notice a couple mayonnaise jars lying around. I then continued on to do the sort of stuff that I do in the morning. (A/N I don't feel like writing it, so time-skip to when he's about to leave the house.) I plopped my backpack on and hopped down the steps of the front yard and began walking to school. At the corner of my eye I spotted Leafy and I decided to run up to her. "Hey, can I walk with you?" I asked. 

"Sure thing," she responded. And so we walked together. Well, I was actually riding a very tiny toy train there. Then, an idea came to mind. "Hop on to my back, if I have one," I said, bending down. She looked confused but did as I said anyways. I took off and ran very fast. Leafy held on tightly. I started to toss axes at other people's houses as Eventually, we made it to Happyrock, now with other people there! Lowering her to the ground, she asked me, "Why'd you do that?"

I responded with, "I miss him. I miss Turnip so much."

Leafy's POV:

Yeah, I'm a bit nervous for my first day. I mean, what will they think of me, considering that I'm not completely out of my mind. The first thing I notice about the kids are their shirts. They all have these funny quotes and phrases on them, such as, "You can take my soul, but you can not take my bowl", "Pain is just weakness leaving the body, and then being replaced by pain. Lots of pain," or "Don't get drowned in the maze of mayonnaise. If you don't, I won't do anything about it." I'm pretty sure I failed at that this morning. I looked back at Firey and realized he was wearing one of these shirts too! It said, "Don't bring a gun to a knife fight. Don't bring a knife to a knife fight. Stop going to knife fights altogether. What's your deal with knife fights?" That's a good one. Once the bell rung (which sounded like some high-pitched scream of agony) everybody rushed inside the school building. I remember Principle Yellow Face telling me that Firey and I were in the same class for everything, so we walked together to our first class, which was History.

"Sit down where ever you would be happy!" our history teacher said. I decided that I'd sit next to Firey in every class, because he's my only friend right now, let alone the only one I know right now. Everybody else chose a seat somewhere in the classroom and settled down. 

"Hi there you people!" said the teacher. "Anyways, my name is Lightbulb, and you can call me Lightbulb. That whole 'mister' thing makes me sick." I'm assuming he meant that literally, because he immediately threw up onto a student's face. I tried to hide my shock, considering that everyone else in the classroom barely seemed surprised. Not even the person that got thrown up on! Wow, can't wait to see what other surprises will be waiting for me. 

"Anywhale, it's great to see you all here. I don't know why I said that, it actually isn't. Teenagers are terrifying! But, I'd like you to meet someone who just recently moved to this school. So Leafy, not to make you cry, but can you tell us a bit about your shelf?" I stood up and began to speak. 

"Uh, hi! I'm Leafy Undulate, I recently moved here from Yoyle City, and I, um, I like grapes!" Looking around, Firey was smiling at me, but everyone else had the most confused look on their face, including Lightbulb. "I told you to talk about your shelf, not yourself, you silly billy boy." Lightbulb told me. "What? I'm not even a bo-" Lightbulb cut me off. "Okay, let's talk about mayonnaise, since it's Mayonnaise Appreciation Day today! Can someone explain in exactly 73 words the origin of this exquisitely wonderful day?" Everybody (except me, of course) suddenly raised their hand up. "Pen, can you explain please?" Lightbulb asked. 

"One day, some guy named Nickel was bored and decided to clone a bunch of mayonnaise jars using the Mayonnaise Jar Cloner." Pen explained. "However, once he turned it on, he couldn't turn it back off, and it continues to produce 500 mayonnaise jars per second! So, some people said that they should give out a bunch of mayonnaise jars to everyone in Mukmuk Land on one day of the year, and that day is today." Lightbulb stared at him and said, "That was 74 words. I'm so disappointed." I couldn't believe it! Did the word count really matter? Seriously, that was a great and informative explanation, and now I understand why mayonnaise jars were invading my home. Oh well. 

The rest of the day was quite similar to what had just happened. It was so weird! Especially the teachers. Our French teacher is Ms. Taco who spits lemons and yells "SOUR CREAM!" in the middle of class, our Science teacher, Ms. Test Tube, was doing a science experiment which involved taking human eyeballs and tossing it into the shadow realm in order to find signs of alien life inside of the eyeball, and our Art teacher, Ms. Apple forgot the meaning of incredibly basic words such as, 'is'. Yellow Face, what kind of maniac are you to hire these people? But I guess everyone in Mukmuk Land is like this. Life here was gonna be hard to get used to...

(A/N YAAAAAYYYYY it's finally done! I hope you liked this longer chapter! :D Sorry there was barely any of Firey's POV.)
