Frank-can-stein

What do you get with two starving teenage girls and one can of Spaghetiio's Ravioli?1

Frank-can-stein.2

Around three in the morning, two girls decided to find something to eat. The girl hosting the sleepover, Jeni, had voted on a can of ravioli. At first, her guest, Alexa, did not agree to using the electric can opener. Jeni's craving voted against it. 3

Jeni, the usual blond she could be, stuck the can under the cutter and plugged in the cord. 4

"Crap!" She cursed under her breath.5

"What's the matter!? You didn't cut yourself did you!?" Alexa gasped. 6

Jeni could feel her friend's breath on her shoulder as Alexa wanted to see the can. No bloodshed, thankfully, but only a partially ripped can label. Jeni began again after she checked the stairs to make sure her parents were still asleep. 7

"Oh you've GOT to be KIDDING me!!!" She whispered harshly.8

"Now what?" Alexa was becoming impatient...and hungry.9

"The stupid can won't open!" Jeni answered. "Here -- you try it!"10

She handed the can over to her friend and she, too tried to open it with the electric can opener. Meanwhile, Jeni watched the stairs, in case her mother or father woke up. 11

"This thing's retarded!" Alexa said in a rush, holding in laughter. 12

Jeni sighed as her stomach growled at her. "You know, sandwiches would be a whole lot easier..."13

"No!" Her friend cut her off. "We got this far, and I want ravioli!"14

"Fine, fine. Lemme try one more time..." 15

Jeni took over the can opener once more, only to have opened the top of the can halfway. Her eyes narrowed as the power slowed to a soft churn. Alexa laughed close behind her. 16

"Hey! Do you have a manual can opener?" Alexa asked quickly.17

"Maybe. I don't know where it is. Check those drawers over there!" 18

In their hungry haste, the two girls rushed around Jeni's kitchen, tearing through every drawer looking for the manual can opener. 19

"FOUND IT!" Alexa yelled.20

"Shhhhh! Want to wake up Mom and Dad?!"21

"Sorry..." Alexa began to bare down on the small metal opener into the top of the ravioli can. One triangular hole: done.22

Jeni leaned on the counter, half-exhausted and half-hungry. "Okay...now how do you expect a huge ravioli to fit through that little hole? Make another right beside it!" She said, pointing to the can.23

"'Kay." Alexa tried again, but figured out Jeni's idea wasn't the greatest. They tried to pull a few ravioli through the punctured holes, but only tore the ravioli as they fell out.24

"I'm so freaking HUNGRY!" Alexa whined as she threw down the manual can opener.25

"Okay, let me try this..." Jeni picked up the small opener, and began to whack away at the can. Alexa laughed as her friend continued to poke holes in the metal top. Which in turn gave her an idea... 26

"Wait, wait! Give me the can now!" Alexa grabbed the half-destroyed can from under her friend's hands. She squeezed the top of the can with all her strength...27

And the clouds parted, the angels sung, the stomachs growled, the can cried, and -- you get my point.28

The Spaghettio Ravioli finally fell out the molded hole of the can.29

Soon after they began to eat their ravioli, Alexa and Jeni noticed a familiar look to the can. 31

"It looks like a monster with teeth!" Jeni pointed out, popping another ravioli in her mouth.32

"No, no wait..." Taking her pinkie finger, Alexa drew sauce eyes on the top of the destroyed can. "Now we have it. Frankenstein! NO! Frank-CAN-stein!" She added.33

The girls laughed in the empty kitchen as they continued to eat their ravioli, very proud of their newest creation: Frank-can-stein.
