It was a warm and sunny day, the birds were chirping, the trees were singing, and my cat is currently in heat. Mrr. Potato was screaming as if in labor, Mr. Potato was holding his hand and OUT! slowly opens the petals of the pretty potted flower plant and fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffplop! it then farts and what comes out a bashful, batting-lashes dookey, aka Perry Potato. Because this is how potatoes are planted. Trust me.
Growing up, Perry was different from the other Produce. He noticed that when Brock the Broccoli would be around, all the other vegetables would be having a "hard time." But no, not Perry. Perry was confuzzled, stupidly and extremely confuzzled. Perry was so confuzzled all throughout his life until he finally becomes an adult and that's when everything had changed.
Perry Potato met Penny Pear.
Perry visited his local salad bar and that's when it happened.
And sometimes...... you just find love across the apples, across the bowls, across the salad bar
and thats
when Perry first saw Penny, Perry's life had stopped. all objects, expressions, physics, and matter had slowed down and paused for Perry. Even the earth's rotation had stopped. The only sound that could be heard in the whole world was Perry's breath and the beat of his heart. Perry walked towards Penny in the frozen, still crowd. It was like the freezer produce section at stater's. His eyes, bright and big, looked towards the one he was amazed and in awe of. But with the world doing a favor and stopping all for Perry. time would eventually continue as Perry was finally now in front of his fork on the road.
"I'm Perry. Perry Potato"
"Im Penny Pear."
This was the meeting on front of the golden, large orange where a vegetable and a fruit would hold hands.
Penny and Perry in the next second become the laughing stock of the fruit bar.
"Fruits and vegetables aren't supposed to be together!" screamed out a random fruit.
Then Perry had a flashback to his childhood.
"Dad, why am i different from other veggies? I got beat up at school and called a tomato"
Mrr Potato thought about it while washing the dishes with his apron. The he replied,"Don't you go on being a tomato!"
"A tomato?," the little tater tot wondered.
Mr. Potato came in, "Yea, son, a tomato. You know how we can't tell if it's a fruit of a vegetable?"
"I thought it was both," little Perry was curious.
"Exactly," Mr Potato said while turning on the Food Network and lit up his cigar. "Don't associate yourself with other tomatoes"
"Yes, now now, go play with Ms and Mss's fruit whose about your age. They moved next door yesterday."
And while Perry was walking out the door, his dad kissed his daddy's neck and Mrr. Potato giggling away was the last thing Perry remembered.
"HETERO!" "GET OUT OF HERE HETERO!" "EW, TOMATOES!"
Perry and Penny grip only got stronger.
"YOU DON'T EVEN TASTE GOOD TOGETHER!"
"ew, how do they share plates together?"
"it's not natural, they don't even grow in the same place together."
"UGH! they can't even make meals together, why are they together!"
The whispers and the insults grew. Another flashback occured.
"Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy"
"SHUT UP BOY!" Mss Potato screamed while cooking grass.
"Why are vegetable and fruits or tomatoes hated?"
"Oh mah Paul Deen! Read your cookbook! they can't mix! It's those flamboyant ingredients that makes me have to explain such raunchy things to my son." He sighed deeply shaking his head and palming his face.
"Daddy, calm down!" dad potato tried to ease his hubby. "I'll explain it to Perry"
Mr. Potato kneeled to reach his little tater tot's height.
"Well you see, Perry, in the Cookbook of Paula Deen, Paula Deen says that they should never mix. All they do is disgusting things to each other which is unnatural. Later in your life, you will meet a nice boy, and make little veggies with him, but for now, take your time."
"But what if i don't believe in Paula Deen?" the potato said. Perry then received a beating.
Another flashback came out.
Dishes smashing. "YOUR SON IS A HETERO," Mrr. Potato screamed.
"IT'S YOUR FAULT, YOU AND YOUR DRESSING-HIM-UP FUN"
Perry could only tighten his eyes and cover is ears.
"WHAT? ME? ITS YOUR FAULT FOR FORCING HIM TO PLAY IN FRUIT BASKETBALL IN HIGHSCHOOL WHEN HE DIDN'T WANT TO GO!"
Vases and figurines breaking.
"VEGGIES DON'T GO AFTER FRUITS BECAUSE THEY PLAY IN A SPORT."
then the family's picture frame broke landing on Perry's feet where he look wide eyed at his injured legs.
"They never said anything about love," he whispered quietly to himself and to Penny as a tear rolls from his face. "They never said anything about love"
