The Food Contest
Hi everyone! I know this post is extremely late but you know it was Christmas and New Year and I was too busy celebrating. Oh that reminds me I hope everyone had great Holidays!
——————————————————————————————-
Linda and Belinda both woke up very hungry so they went downstairs without changing into their everyday clothes and talked to Cornelia. But Cornelia was very worried about the Food Contest which was goibg to happen the next day.
"Hey, mum can you please make something to eat? We’re hungry!" asked Linda
"Yeah mum please I think I can even smell food now!" said Belinda sniffing the air.
"Gee, I dunno…Can’t you ask your dad to do it?" said Cornelia
"Oh please mum! And anyway that should be good practice for the upcoming Food Contest." begged Linda
"Well….ok then I’ll make some breakfast. But first maybe tell me how are you? I haven’t really talked to you in days…." asked Cornelia
"Not much, oh except that Belinda has got herself a new boyfriend!!" said Linda
"No I don’t!" yelled Belinda blushing.
"Whats that? A boyfriend? *giggles* Who is he then?" asked Cornelia excitedly.
"I DON’T HAVE A BOYFRIEND, MUM!!!!" Belinda yelled again
"Well ok then I’ll just go make something to eat…" laughed Cornelia and went to the kitchen.
"Why did you tell her!?" asked Belinda when Cornelia had gone
"Calm down! She’s our mum and she needs to know those kinds of things! And besides she didn’t get angry or anything…" explained Linda
"OK fine just don’t tell dad. I’ve got a feeling his reaction would be the opposite to mum’s." said Belinda.
Awww come on! I was enjoying that cat-fight! Oops I mean girl-fight….Hehehe. Oh I better just go and be mean to my toy bird…Thought Kitty and started playing with her birdy-toy.
Hahaha! Who’s the boss now, huh? Huh?…..Oh this just isn’t working for me! I need real pray to….pray on! I know, I’ll just go and scare Richard again! Thought Kitty as she ran off looking for Richard.
Prepare to go change your pants! Because I’ll make you so sorry for not going to use the bathroom before I came here…Mwuahahaha!!!
OK let’s check on Cornelia. Hmmm….This is weird…Cornelia standing in a kitchen that’s really messy…I must be dreaming….
Oh no it’s not a dream…It’s Cornelia making….Breakfast!? Geez could you be any more messier?
And look at her now! She’s messed up the kichen and now she burns the breakfast.
I hope she cleans that up! Let’s see what Richard and the girls are up to…
"Dad, we know that you’re not watching TV with us but instead trying to overhear our conversation!" said Linda
"What? Me? Oh no of course not! I’ve always been fascinated by that cartoon guy….you know the….uh the blue one!" explained Richard
"Sure whatever…"said Linda and began whispering to Belinda.
"You know the gift that dad said he’s gonna give us? What do you think it is?" whispered Linda
"I dunno, but I hope he hasn’t bought us toys like last year! Those toys were meant for 5 year olds and we’re already 12!" Belinda whispered back
"Tell me about it! I mean he still thinks of us as babies, we’re almost teenagers! Oh dear, can you imagine what’ll happen when we’re teenagers? He’ll probably embarass us in front of everyone!" whispered Linda again.
Oh no! I bought them the same kind of toys again! I hope they’ll like them and won’t lose them again. Did they say I’ll embarass them? Oh I won’t let that happen! From now on I’ll try being the coolest dad ever! Oh who am I kidding that’ll be too hard..I’ll just embarass them then. And what’s that funny smell? Thought Richard and everyone went to the kitchen.
"Oh my lord! It stinks up to high heaven in here!" said Richard
"Eeew! What’s that on the plate?" asked Linda
"I think that’s supposed to be our breakfast and I’m not eating it!" said Belinda
"Cornelia, what happened?" asked Bigfoot
"Um, well I decided to make something harder like Baked Alaska but I guess it was too hard for me…" explained Cornelia
" *sigh* Next time ask for my help and I could teach you…."said Bigfoot.
Then Cornelia ran to the bathroom because she was upset and Richard went after her.
"What’s wrong hun’?" asked Richard
"Well, I’m no good at cookibg and Pamela will beat me silly in that Contest tomorrow!" said Cornelia sadly
"Pffftt…Pamela Shmamela who cares about her! Even if you’re lovely food doesn’t win then I’m sure that your beauty will impress the judge!" Richard tried to comfort her.
At that she cheered up and kissed him.
Meanwhile at the Harrisons, Pamela was practicing her making her meal for The Food Contest
Then Alex came to see what she was doing
"Hi mum, watcha doing?" asked Alex
"I’m busy practising for the Food Contest. Why don’t you just run along and watch Football with your dad and brother?" suggested Pamela.
"Nah I don’t want to, they take it all too sereously! And whatever you’re cooking there smells yummy!" said Alex
"Thanks dear." said Pamela
"Wooo! Come on score that goal!" cheered Robert
"Your team are losers dad! Why do you like them anyway?"asked Tracy
"They’re not losers! Um, hey what ARE YOU DOING? Stop you losers! You’re right they’re losers…" booed Robert
OK then let’s go outside and check out what Buddy is doing.
"OK ok! You can have half of my power when I become the leader! Just please don’t hurt me!" barked Buddy.
On the next day at the Food Contest Pamela had already arrived and was preparing her food when Cornelia came in the kitchen.
"Ugh! That stinks worse than Richard on Bath Day!" said Cornelia holding her nose.
"You know we got off on the wrong side but I was thinking that we should be friends from now on, what do you say?" said Pamela and tried to hug Cornelia
"Oh no you don’t! I see right through your dirty little tricks! And if you do something to mess up my food for today than I’ll do something to mess up your…um well something of yours….." said Cornelia backing away.
"Hhrmph! Well fine be that way! May the Best one win!" said Pamela and thought to herself that she was that Best one.
She thinks she’s so clever! Oh I’ll show her! I’ll…um…I’ll try to be better than her at everything…oh whats the use she’s so much better than me at everything! I hate her! Grrrr….Thought Cornelia and went off to prepare her food.
In the meantime Kitty was trying to find cats that would like to help her with World Domination but instead she found Buddy fighting with her soon-to-be minion.
"Heeya! I’m warning you I know Cat Fu! And if you don’t get off that slacker…I mean my minion then I’ll Cat Fu you like Richards lunch!" meowed Kitty
"Hahaha you? What are YOU going to do to ME? Meow at me and hope I run away?" barked Buddy
"Well I was kinda hoping that would work but I guess it won’t…." meowed Kitty
"Ahahahaha……You’re pathetic! Let’s go Cindy!" barked Buddy smiling at Cindy
"I’m not Cindy! I’m Sake! S-A-K Sake!" said Cindy…oh I mean Sake, in a low voice
When the animals had finished arguing Belinda went to find Ale.
"Hi!" said Belinda
"Who? Oh you! Hi!" answered Alex
"You’re eyes are like the Blue Ocean" said Alex dreamily
"My eyes are brown!" answered Belinda
"Oh, uh then they’re like sand on the beach…" he said again
"My eyes are dark brown!" she insisted
"Ahahaha uh they’re as pretty as sea shells?" he tried again
"Sea Shells aren’t dark brown!" Belinda exclaimed
"Right! Then your eyes are as pretty as rare Dark Brown Sea Shells!" Alex finally said
"They acctually have those? Oh your so sweet!" she said smiling
Ok then lets leave these lovebirds and check on what Linda, Robert and Tracy are doing….
"Hi guys! I’m not late am I?" greeted Linda
"No, they’ve only just finished cooking. I better go inside and see Pamela. You kids go inside in 15 minutes and don’t miss the contest!" Robert answered
"Hey aren’t you Belinda’s sister?" asked Tracy
"Yes, you know her?" said Linda
"Well they’re kind of like a….uh…like a glove on a hand!" Tracy tried to explain
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" asked Linda
"Um….they’re like a bruise on an eye!" Tracy tried to explain again
"Sorry I don’t get you…."said Linda
"Argh! Well they’re kind of togeth…..I mean like a nerd’s head in a toilet!" Tracy exclaimed
"Oh you mean they’re together? And I suppose your brother told you about her." said Linda nodding her head
Then Tracy went pale and went to the other side of the sidewalk.
"Oh no! Are you OK?" asked Linda worriedly
"Bleh! Yeah I’m fine, dad probably just swinged me around too much…"said Tracy after throwing up.
"Hahaha! No need to get all stressed. Haven’t you ever seen someone throw up before?"
"Well not really except when mum gets pregnant or maybe when dad has just been experimented on with one of mums new foods. Are you sure you’re alright? Maybe I should call an adult?" asked Linda still worried
"I don’t think so, I’m fine really! Hmmm…wait, was you worried about me?" he asked suspicously
"Uh…no! I was just…erm…" Linda tried to think up an answer
"Yeah you were worried about me! That’s….yuck!" he said pointing at her
"No! I was just disgusted by the vomit on the pavement! Honest! I don’t love you!" she yelled in protest
"Hahaha! High Five! Phew, I’m just glad I won’t end up like my soppy old brother…." Tracy cheered up and they went inside just as everyone was preparing for the contest to start.
Just have to fix up my Winner’s Smile and then I’ll finally beat everyone in a Food Contest again! If no one could beat me back in Pleasantview then no one can beat me here!
Oh dear….I do hope I win! Those Harrisons have one big mouth just made for bragging! And if Pamela wins this she’ll make sure we remember it at least for a year! OK Cornelia don’t worry! If Richard said that my Chilli Con Carne was intresting then I’m sure I have a good chance of winning! Just gotta smile now and show her that I’m carefree and completely ready!
"Everyone stand behind the table so that your food is in front of you, please" called out the Food Judge.
She brought Spaghetti to a Food Contest? This should just leave me and Pamela in the lead then…Thought Cornelia
Ha! Grilled Cheese, Spaghetti and Chili Con Carne!? This is a joke isn’t it? I guess I wasn’t over-doing it by preparing a special place for my new trophy after all! Thought Pamela
"Um this…cheese…is certainly…grilled."said the Food Judge
"Well cooked and tasty! But you could work on the smell….I get the feeling my grandma’s come for a visit…" said The Food Judge as he put down the plate
"Hmmm….Chilli." mumbled the Food Judge
Smelly? What does he mean by that? It’s a family recipe! Thought Pamela and completely ignored the fact that the Food Judge had not liked the Chilli Con Carne Cornelia that made.
I can’t believe someone would be stupid enough to bring something like Spaghetti to a food contest! Cornelia and Pamela both thought and put their hands to their head in shame
And the tension builds up….and is once again interupted by Richards cheering…
Then the judge quietly walks over to give the ribbon to the winner
"Oh no! A whole YEAR for this!!!" Cornelia freaked out
"Did I win? Oh thank you so much! I really had no clue that I would win! Honestly all of you put up a great challenge! Better luck next time, though." lied Pamela as she tried to look surprised in front of the judge.
But not everyone was watching the food contest…
"Hey, it’s you again! What is a stray cat like you doing here for so long? Still can’t get into the garbage cans?" laughed Buddy
"Listen here…Buddy! I’m no stray cat I’m Kitty Wilson and you better do yourself a favor and remember that name because when I finally come up with a plan for World Domination! Mwuahahahaha*cough**choke**cough*! Sorry hairball….where was I? Ah yes, when I do all that then you’ll be one of the slaves for my cat minions and I’ll make sure you don’t get catnip brakes or fish sticks!" meowed Kitty
"Hahaha! Well I have to say the complete opposite and that you’ll be my personal slave when I dominate the world! Oh and I’ll make sure you never get a bone or even a newspaper to chew and no one will EVER take you out for walks! And I, unlike some animals, *points with his paw at Kitty* acctualy have come up with a plan for World Domination!" barked Buddy
"Wait, you have?" asked Kitty surprised and eager to steal it.
"Um, not yet but I’m…uh…working on it yes I guess you can say I’m working on it!" barked Buddy again.
Then it was time to take a photo of the winners and the 2 losers so that the winners may look better.
Why does she always win everything? I should be more evil like her then maybe I’ll win somewhere too! Thought Cornelia
———————–….Wait a sec what’s that?
Una: Richard are you eating the food that Pamela made instead of Cornelia’s Chilli Con Carne? You traitor!
"Shhh! Sereously I spent 3 hours in the bathroom after I ate that Chilli Con Carne! Look, the Food Judge just ran to the bathroom a few minutes ago…" Richard explained as he finished off some pieces of Pork Chops

Well that’s it! I know this took ages but I think the long chapter should make up for my absence.
