Grapple: A Story of Love

Today's the Day!

    'Today's the day' Apple thought as he jumped out of bed 'Today's the day I ask out grape.' He'd been contemplating it for years. He'd always had a crush on her . The way she was curvy, just as an avocado should be. She was perfect for a peachy fellow like Apple.      (did you find the pun!?!?)

    "Hey!" Grape said to the neighbor as she walked out her font door. She was hungry, and had absolutely nothing to eat, so she walked to the local greasy spoon (that's slang for diner is what my friend told me) a couple minutes out. A soon as she sat down, the owner, Pear, a nice banana wit a sad backstory, walked over with a cup of coffee. "I heard through the grape vine that Apple wants to ask you out." "What? No! That cant be, he's too perfect." Grape had been in love with Apple for far too long, but she'd always believed in the original way to do things, so she wanted to wait for him to ask her. Which of course, never worked.       (did you find the pun!?!?!)

    Apple saw that Grape walked into the greasy spoon and decided to follow her. He sat down at the table behind her so she wouldn't see him. After they both got their coffee Apple got up and walked over to Grape. "H-hi Grape." Apple stuttered. "Oh, hi Apple. What's up?" Grape said nonchalantly. "Nothing much, do you mind if I sit with you?" "Nope, go right a head." "So, I've had this on my mind for a while now, Grape." Apple began to say. "What?" Grape replied. "I-I, can we be friends?" Apple had chickened out." He would scold himself in his mind for years to come. "Oh." Grape said disappointedly. "Yeah, sure." Grape said. "Great!" Apple said feeling embarrassed. "NO NO NO!" Grape thought "Screw tradition, just ask him out!" but alas it was too late. He had already changed the topic to what they were going to eat. Apple and Grape are now friend zoned! Good job Apple, be a man!         (if you found a pun you're amazing cuz we didn't put one on purpose)

-Time Skip 45 Mins-

Grape laughs a she and Apple chat about this and that, their food long gone, but neither of them wanting to leave. "So I know nothing about you, Grape!" Apple says a she sips his chocolate shake. "Tell me something interesting." "Well okay... umm... my favorite color is olive green, my lucky number is 14, and my favorite thing to do is watch the sunset. Oh! and my favorite food is chocolate. What about you? They go on with this kind of talk for two hours, until pear kicks them out because the lunch crowd has come in and there's no more seats.      (did you find the pun?!?!?!)

They decide to walk over to the beach. As they're walking they come across some particularly beautiful seashells. Grape leans down and picks one up. "Wow, they're beautiful." she says. She had always had a fascination with the ocean and everything in it. She didn't know why though. "You like it?" Apple said "You should see my collection. I probably have 250 at my place." "He's perfect" Grape thought to herself. Well, then, do you wan to take this one for your collection?" she asked. He took it from her hand but he didn't let go of her hand. It was like time had stopped. "Thanks for the shell, I mean." He said, in a daze. That was definitely a magical moment.  "Haha, you're welcome. For the shell I mean." Grape laughed and pulled her hand away. She loved what just happened, but was far too shy to show it. They continued their peaceful walk on the beach together.
