“Yeah, yeah, you’re a big fan can you have my autograph, no wait, a picture, no wait, a hug, no wait, an autograph and picture and a hug…” Larry said. 2
“How’d you know I was gonna say all those things!?
No way no way!” Leslie said.3“I’m a psychic cucumber. Yeah, I know. God doesn’t like psychics so that’s why I can’t show it on the show. Woah that sounded really weird. Can’t show it on the show.” 4
“Wow I’m so happy I finally met you!” Leslie yelled.5
“Well this stupid VeggieTales show makes me tired as hell, so let’s get this over with, okay?” Larry signed his name with his non-existent hands and hopped away.6
“Hey, what about my hug? And my picture?” 7
“Get over it, loser!” Larry yelled over his shoulder.8
“But he’s always so happy on the show,” Leslie cried.
9“It’s called acting,” a voice said. Paprika from Blue's Clues walked in. 10
“PAPRIKA I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!” Leslie screamed. “Yay I’m so glad I met you Paprika, even MORE glad than I was when I met Larry.” 11
“I get that a lot. Listen, Steve wants me to tell you this.” 12
“STEVE’S HERE!?”
13“Yeah he secretly loves you. You know, we can actually see out the TV to all the people watching just like you can see in…” 14
“WOAH.” 15
“Yeah. So anyway Steve wanted me to tell you that the Cookie Monster lives,” Paprika said in a whisper.16
“He died long ago though! Those nasty secret agents Big Bird and Ray Romano KILLED him!” Leslie said.17
“Ray and Big Bird were good guys until THEY possessed them,” Paprika said, narrowing her/his eyes. (is it a guy or a girl? I’ll never know. Maybe I just forgot………..) 18
“Who?” Leslie asked.
“Tell me.” 19“Are you sure you want to know?” 20
“Yes.”21
“Okay. Long ago, I used to be friends with Ray and Big Bird. But one day they were heading to Target on Black Friday because, well, you know……” 22
“Of course.” Leslie nodded. 23
“And a group of what seemed like ordinary people approached them. Then, WHAM, BAM, ZAPPPP! They turned into evil fairies and put evil fairy dust over Big Bird and Ray’s heads, turning them to cookies. They bagged the cookies and flew away into the night.” Paprika paused. “They took them to their fairy workshop and worked on them all night to turn them into THE EVIL ONES.” 24
“The evil ones?”25
“You know. THEM. The EVIL agents.” 26
“Right.”27
“Yeah. So then the evil fairies gave them a mission — to destroy Blue’s Clues forever
— and they still smelled like cookies. And you KNOW how Fred gets when he smells cookies.”28“Fred?”29
“The Cookie Monster. His code name,” Paprika said. “And then he smelled them while they were on their way to our studio. But ……….. But they got to him first. They attacked him…….. And most thought he died. But it wasn’t true. He faked it. It was better off that way, because if the evil ones didn’t know he was alive, they couldn’t try to eliminate him if they thought he was already dead.”30
“So I see,” Leslie said. “Why are you telling ME this? Why did Steve want to tell me, anyway?”31
“I don’t know. He just told me. Oh my God, it’s CINDERELLA! Wait! Wait for Paprikaaaaa!” Paprika screamed, running after the princess. 32
“Wow,” Leslie said to herself, “that consumed most of my time. I’d better get to school!”33
---34
“And that’s why I was late to school,” Leslie said. 35
Oh, and last but not least, BANANAAAAAA!
