The Catsup Bottle of Mysteriousness, Part Two


All we gots left is a burgah and a french fry.



And no catsup.

Noooooo!

It was true. The whole gang was just too late. Minutes before arriving at the Diner Diner a film crew was just leaving - a hungry film crew after a long day of filming. And they had cleaned out the Diner Diner, eating all the Blueberrie pizza, Roast beef on rye, Sghett, Blueberry Chicken Salad, Dutch Apple Pie, honey, cloud cookies, peanut butter cookies, a slice or two of blueberrie cheesycake, Bloodworms, and - all the raisens pie upside-down cake!

So, if the gang was ever to get some catsup for their burger and that fry they would just have to "catch-up" to the film crew and solve -

The Mystery of the Catsup Bottle of Mysteriousness!

OK, you varmints. . .let's hop into the Chevygo!

Leaping fishies!

Shhh!

Don't be ironical, Van-Van; let's go!





And I'm . . . Link!

Well Mr Fabubbles, we have to go west. And we'll have to find that crew. Then we can find out precisely why that catsup bottle is empty...

The funny thing is, not one thing on the list of things they ordered is something you would want with catsup on it. Not even one thing...

And that gives me an idea! Is everybody belted in with safeness? By the way, who is Steven Seagull?

reply



Luddie. . .it's interesting that all the food they ate up is food like we like!



Steven Seagull? Wonder if he is any relation to Jonathan Livingston Seagull?

Let's roll, everybody!

reply

Good thinking, Van! But they didn't stop there, they ate everything! Everything that is except this burger and this fry!

LOOK Mr Fabubbles! It's another diner! The Thunder Diner, "We put lightning in our food so you can experience the thunder."

Everybody unbuckle up and come with me, I've got one very important question to ask them.

*ding*

Hi there, we've been driving west half the night, what have you got to eat?

"Nothing really, been cleaned out of everything, 'cept for a couple of Big Bolt burgers. Oh, and some Zapper Fries and I think we got a Shock Tater Tot in the back."

Would you happen to have any catsup to go with that tater tot?

"Not presently, no, all out for the moment. But we have plenty of mustard, and some excellent McIlHenny Tabasco Pepper Sauce, the mark of a fine eating establishment."

You hear that guys! We're on the right trail for sure! Thank you Madam, but we've been hoping for a slice of raisens pie upside-down cake and catsup. You've been a great help though and we thank you kindly! Let's role guys, belt up them buckles, we're going WEST!

We might not make it home at this rate. . .

Yeah. . .we could starve

And I'm . . . Link!

reply

We'll make it all right Cossock, and we won't be starving neither, Rags! Cheer up Berrie Blue Flake, they'll be running out of appetite 'fore we run out of purple slurpie window washing bubble water I wager!

And then we've got them! And they'll be catsup for all on our french fry!

I don't think it's about the food anymore, Cossie!

* It's about the empty ketchup bottle. . .

So bloodworms is out of the question?



And I'm . . . Link!

reply

That's right Berrie out of the Blue! But I think we can spare a few minutes to put some food in Cossock's face.

Bloodworms Sony? Maybe, if the cook is a pisces!

*ding*

Hi, you wouldn't happen to have a chunk of raisen pie upside-down cake and catsup for us by any chance, would you?

"Sorry, no."

"But we do have a slice of raisen blueberrie pie upside-down cake, it's our special. But we're all out of catsup."

Guys, we're here.

reply

. . . there's enough to go around?

Let's hope!

We'll take the biggest slice you got - to GO!

So then I suppose you're going to say that that is blood all over your shirt and shoes and swords and knives and guns and that black mask?
... This here, not at all. It's for special effects, it's catsup.
Uh huh. And I know just where you got it!

Grab that fry boys, we got catsup!
