Dear Robot Diary,
It's Lace again. Sorry I've been neglecting you. I've been bonding with Harry and Jim revealed a secret internet love affair with an evil villain. You've missed so much! Day six is here and you'll never believe what I'm about to tell you... write you?... write in you? Whatever, you know what I mean. BANANA HAS BEEN KIDNAPPED BY LOUDMOUTH and we're about to make an exchange for Banana's safety. Coming to that conclusion was... difficult... because everybody is a little on edge today. Oh wait, hang on, RD. Marmie must have just broken the news to the boys. Everyone's arguing... again!
______________________________________________________________
Crush is beside himself, "Lace, you can't be serious, we only JUST got out of a locked room!"
"Yeah!" says Jim, "Not that I agree with Mr. Goth Smurf over there, but Loudmouth wants to KILL you! Why would you risk turning yourself over to he/she/them?"
"Banana is my friend and she is helpless at fighting back!" Lace replies, "She probably is offering Loudmouth spelling and grammar advice for the next whiteboard threat right now! And don't tell me what I can and cannot do, Jim!"
Marmie adds, "You two science geeks are the ones that got us into this mess in the first place! With your climate change whosie whatsits and science forum kanoodling!
In the quick pause, Harry yells, "I agree with whatever Marmie says!"
Mr. Kevin sighs, "Everyone calm down! Remember, it's the Tomato Tornado outside that's making you be so overly critical to each other! Our constant arguing and insults isn't actually solving anything! YOU'RE ALL JUST LIKE MY WIFE!"
"EX-WIFE!" Everyone yells back.
Marmie concludes, "There really is no need to worry. I'm sure my genius plan will go as well as a veggie tray at a vegan garden party. But, if not, I call dibs on Lace's eulogy. Boy, do I have some zingers!"
"Don't get your hopes up Marmie, you... you...southern swine!" Crush insults pathetically.
"It's too late anyway," Lace affirms, "I already sent Loudmouth the surrender text. We're supposed to make the exchange in ten minutes.... in the Principal's office..."
"Woah...Dramatic," Harry says.

So, RD, We're off to rescue Banana and yes, there is a literal tornado of flying tomatoes outside. It's making all of us mock each other and shout unwanted criticism. Every second about ten new tomatoes come hurtling towards the school windows. If Banana wasn't captured right now, she would be appalled by such a waste of good produce, and try to convince us to donate it all to our local food shelter. Urgh, what a goodie two shoes! Oh no... it's happening to me too, RD.
Speaking of Banana, I wonder what horrible atrocities Loudmouth is putting her through.

"AAAAAAHHHHH!!! NOOOOOOO!!! DON'T!! I CAN'T BEAR IT ANY LONGER, PLEASE!! TURN IT OFF!" Banana screams.
Loudmouth laughs maniacally as he/she/they plays sexist rap music from the early 2000s right next to Banana clutching her ears. Banana is sitting like a polite hostage in the chair behind the Principal's desk as captive.
WHAM!!
Marmie kicks open the door like she's in some sort of low-budget movie.
"STOP RIGHT THERE, LOUDMOUTH!" Marmie proclaims, "YOU'LL NEVER GET AWAY WITH THIS!"
