Chapter 5 Part 22
Lynda set three plates on the table, each one in front of Streak, Peanut, and Grape. She was, of course, smiling. Each plate had some sort of green fish on it. The fish was chopped into tine pieces, which both Peanut and Grape found strange. Peanut picked up a fork and took a small bite of the "fish". He smacked his lips, trying to get used to the taste.
"Well? What do you think?" Streak asked grinning.
"It's..." Peanut swallowed it. "Different."
Streak laughed.
"Hey, I could take anyone in this building and take them to earth, I bet they'd all say the same thing."
Grape shrugged after taking a few bites.
"I don't know..." She said licking her lips. "It's not that bad."
"That's the spirit!" Streak said chuckling.
Grape smiled and nodded.
"So," Peanut started. "Any ideas on the err...'case'?"
Streak yawned and shook his head.
"Not yet. I am leaning toward blaming the mine machinery..."
"Oh?" Grape asked tilting her head slightly. "How so?"
"Well...It's a big pole sticking into the ground. It's got to be something to look into."
Peanut nodded. "Yeah, but do you think that this planet is involved?"
"Maybe...Right now I'm kinda wishing we stayed while the 'accident' was happening." Streak said with a sigh.
"Oh, yeah. Near death experiences. Fun, right?"
Peanut chuckled listening to Grape.
"Oh, yeah. To bad we missed the party." Streak stood up and out the booth.
"Woah, Woah, Where are you going?" Peanut asked setting his fork down.
"Where do you think?" Streak said smiling.
Grape and Peanut looked at each other.
"I uh, really have no idea."
Streak chuckled.
"I'm going to go poke around. Stay here."
"And do what?" Grape asked with a sigh.
"Not move." Streak said as he tossed a packet on the table.
Peanut picked up the pack and looked at it. Many small silver coins were in the packet.
"Wait, what's this?"
"Currency. See you later!" Streak walked out the doors.
"Wa-Wait, Streak!" Grape said standing up, trying to stop him, but he was already gone.
At that moment Lynda walked up.
"Um, Err...Is everything okay?" She asked with a hand on her hip.
Grape sat back down with a sigh. "Yeah, we're fine."
Lynda was chewing gun. "Did your boyfriend dump you?"
"What?!" Grape said, with her face turning red.
Peanut wasn't sure whether her face was red with blush or red with anger.
"No! Don't even think about thinking about that!" Grape said with the purple returning to her face.
Lynda jumped back with her hands in a defensive position.
"Okay! Okay!" Lynda said starting to walk away. "If you need anything just ask..."
Peanut looked at Grape and her ears twitched.
"I think I ticked off your girlfriend."
"She's not my-!"
Grape chuckled. "I'm joking."
