**WARNING: SUICIDE**

***HOWEVER THE CHARACTER IS A POTATO SO TAKE THAT HOWEVER YOU WILL***

"I HATE MYSELF!! WHY CAN'T I BE LIKE THEM?!!" The potato cried out in anguish. She hopped around the roof of her apartment building.

"People love her for who you are, you don't have to be like them!" Her best friend replied. Petunia and Patrice had had this conversation many times before, but now Petunia feared it would be the last.

"IF THAT'S TRUE, THEN WHY AM I ONLY 69 CENTS AND JUST ONE OF THEM CAN GO FOR 2 DOLLARS?!!!" Patrice's eyes were being flooded with tears.

"That doesn't matter!" Petunia was growing more concerned each second, but when Patrice hopped over to the ledge, her potato heart nearly jumped out of her throat.

"IF I CAN'T BE LIKE THEM THEN MY LIFE DOESN'T MATTER!!!" With those fateful words, Patrice jumped. Falling downwards, she felt emptiness replace her sorrow as Petunia screamed in horror.

Patrice hit the ground with a thud and split into the fries she could have been fated to become.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Timmy the tiny turtle exclaimed from his owner's hand. "SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO BE A MANGO TO BE LOVED!!!"

Timmy and his owner would never be completely over the fictional death of Patrice the Potato in their favorite show, Potato Crisis.
