The Snack Den

[?]

*nods*  sounds good 

[Firox]

*Elise passes all Vees, and ? another 'lemon'-shaped lemon bar, calls me over*
"hey Joseph, since its your birthday, how about showing the kids a good example and eat your fruits... here is a lemon"


*as I go over stand in the middle, behind a box, I can see all the Vees with a lemon*
"but they are sour alone, will make my face get all wrinkled"
Elise: "the younger ones are eating some"
*as all Vees, and even ? nibbles the lemon bar*
"its your turn"


*I know ? is watching me, Aycan on video tape, Vees watching me to*


*I close eyes, expecting that super sour face, as I reach in to take a bite*


*All in den should start laughing and giggling when I take a nibble - instead of sour I make the surprised reaction, and take a look*
"heey, this isn't a lemon!! you guys tricked me!! its lemon bar shaped like a lemon..."


*I laugh along with all*
"awesome funny prank"






*Robyn and Elise open the box, inside*
*what appear to be fruit - in reality are cheesecake filled with pieces of the fruit*
*so the strawberries are actually cheesecake bite, with an edible mochi-strawberry flavored skin, inside is cheesecake filling with strawberry pieces*
*various 'fruits' are - blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, oranges, mangoes, starfruit (carambola), passion fruit, guavas, and pomegranates*
*following tradition, first smaller Vees get their pick*


*Flower passes ? a waffle cone in the shape of a cornucopia (a basket)* "go on ?, take your pick of cheesecake fruits, all you like"

[?]

*giggles a bit then happily gets some strawberries*

[Firox]

*when ? grabs them - look and feel like a real strawberry, even the outside decorations look like strawberries - Flower did a good job making them and teaching the younger one show to make them*


*when ? bites them - it taste like a strawberry cheesecake, actual 'cheesecake' inside, with pieces of strawberries on them*


*even the little leaf on the bottom edible too, has a strawberry taste to it*




*of course, I look so surprise*
"wow, they look like real fruit!! but..."

*Mia says happily after swalling an 'orange'*
"we had funz making demz"




*main thing ? will notice i that the 'blueberry' and 'raspberry' are bigger than normal fruit, so easier stuffing, do look like berries*


*Flower tells ?* "how are the strawberries?"




*as expected, no surprise, i fill my 'cornucopia' with lemons*
*then everyone gets to pick their favorites*


*I tell ?* "lots more to share, fill up until belly can't take more"

[?]

*relaxes and keeps enjoying* taste great ^^

[Firox]

*Mia, youngest of the Vees, gives / a quick hug on lower mane* "thanks ya for lovingz dem, hards but fun to make"
*then leaps over to where I am, nibbles the same lemon I was about to*
*I giggle and I look over at ?*

"relax and eat all you can... save ya energy.... next time I will take the victory from you"




*as for Jyo? - yep ate some fruit with all, he still had the fish from earlier in the day, so he is eating that*




*Grace finaly tells ? as its eating*
"my tail so much better, so I can battle again, watch out, won't make it easy on you"
*flicks tail near it's paws to show that the bruise is gone*


*Arval* "plenty of challengers for you next time, get some energy in food and rest"




*on the other side of the den, Firox turns on some scary cartoons to watch, 'Courage, the Cowardly Dog', many join him, even the Vees, Mia after nibbling my lemon goes over to watch them too*

[?]

*sticks tongue out* ya wont win  *keeps enjoying the food*

[Firox]

*? can hear the small cute squeaky 'eeeppss' from the smaller Vees from the scary cartoon - good thing the other bigger Flarey and 'Brees are there to help comfort, as more of the cheesecake-'fruits' are nibbled*
*silly giggles from Firox and 'Brees*
*yep, the cartoon does have some scary scenes for younger ones, even some adults will find some scenes a bit scary*


*I giggle from the sound of the eeps*
*I giggle* "that old cartoon, I love it"


*I turn attention to ?*
"thanks for the fun birthday, next time will win the battle, will make chicken wings for main meal, for now enjoy the dessert"




*to be extra nice, Vay passes ? something to drink, a mango smoothie*

[?]

*streches and happily enjoys smoothe* no worries, and will go down next time silly

[Firox]

*I give a nice big stretch, and pick up ?, take to a couch so it can rest, and if it wants, it can turn left to watch TV screen, that cartoon, or turn right and relax in a blanket, I lay down to - I also enjoy a mango smoothie*


*Aycan turns to look at ?*
"I will take the victory from all - hey Joseph, what we having for lunch?"
"chicken wings next time"

[?]

*shakes head n starts to settle down* 

[Firox]

*majority keep watching the cartoon*

"have good....  .... rest, will take....  ...." 

*I never knew it - fell asleep watching the screen* 
 


*? can see that Robyn does that funny canine thing - turns around in circles, two to three times, before laying down to nap too*




*the main ones awake - both Seth and Sherrie, they head out to buy the unbaked chicken wings and seasoning*





*and have a great dday - see next time*

[?]

(probably slightly shorter visit)
*yawns and relaxes*

[Firox]

*will save the battle for next time*




*first thing ? will hear is the sound of "The Simpsons" being played, and also the sound of nibbling and munching*
*? nose will instantly pick up the smell of wings*
*next up when it open eyes, can see the eight smaller Vees watching the cartoon and eating wings and tenders*


*Lucky for ? doesn't have to get down or anything, Grace is only a half-paw lenght away, also eating, much easier for ? to reach and start eating*

[?]

*happily starts to enjoy some wings n watches to*
