Teletubbies: TAOTMT - Series 1 - Addition #4: "Custard Master"

"Custard Master"

Yet another normal, boring, and ever-so-hot day in Teletubbyland. For some reason, today it was so much hotter than usual. Cleo, Sunset and Dee Dee were in the Superdome, sitting at the table, looking miserable.

"Uuuggghhh.. Why is it so hot?! I'm sweating like a pig!" Cleo exclaimed in an irritated tone.

"Because the world hates us." Sunset sighed, getting up reluctantly. "I'm gonna go make some custard. You guys want any?"

Cleo perked up. "You're making Custard? Oh, make me some! Make me some!"

"I guess I could go for some, too... I mean, if it's not too much trouble..." Dee Dee spoke quietly.

"Right. Okay." Sunset half-smiled, walking over to the Custard machine. "Three bowls of Custard, coming up."

Sunset took the necessary steps to make the custard. She pressed the button that brings out a bowl, then she pressed the button that lowers the Custard faucet. Then, finally, she pressed the button to activate the Custard, and out came... Nothing.

"Huh...?" Sunset raised an eyebrow. Why wasn't it working? She pressed the button again, but still, nothing happened. "Uh, guys, I think there's something wrong with the Custard machine."

"Wait, wha? Whaddya mean?" Cleo got up, walking next to Sunset by the machine and eyeing it curiously.

"I mean it's not working. The custard won't come out of the faucet! Do you think it's clogged or something...?" Sunset stared at the machine, wondering what could be wrong. She's always been great with technology and such, so she figured if she could find the problem, she could perhaps try to fix it somehow.

Cleo examined the machine, checking for noticeable exterior damage. "I dunno... That's your thing. I don't really do any of that crazy tech stuff, ya know?"

"Not surprised. Ahem. In that case, you two stay back. I've got work to do!" Sunset eagerly pulled out her wrench.

Cleo and Dee Dee stepped back and watched in awe as Sunset did her thing. She took the Custard machine apart and tinkered with pipes, screws, wires... All kinds of stuff. After a little while, she put it back together and sighed.

"So how'd it go? Did you fix it?" Cleo asked, eager to have it fixed as soon as possible. On a hot day like this, nice cold custard would be really refreshing.

"Well, I've got good news and bad news." Sunset glanced at Cleo. "So, bad news first; I can't fix it."

"What??? So... No more custard??? Like... EVER?!?!" Cleo yelled, distressed.

Sunset facepalmed. "No. If you would let me finish... The good news is; I can't fix it, but someone else can. See, the issue isn't with OUR Custard Machine in specific, but rather the main Custard supply down at the Custard Facility. If we go there and inform whoever's in charge about the problem, they could help."

Cleo blinked a few times, a blank expression on his face. "Oh. ....I knew that."

Sunset gave Cleo a 'done' look. She sighed, walking to the other side of the Superdome and grabbing a large paper. Upon further examination, it seemed to be a map of Teletubbyland. "This map can help us get to the Custard Facility. Once we get there, we'll look for the folks in charge, tell them what happened, and then head back. They should be able to fix it easily."

Cleo cleared his throat. "Right, cool, good plan! But uh... Tell me we're not gonna have to WALK all the way there...? It's so hoooot, and I'm so tiiiired, and-"

"Stop complaining and get ready to go." Sunset cut Cleo off mid-sentence. "The faster we leave, the faster we'll get there, and the faster we get there, the sooner you can have your Custard."
