Who Stole The Apple Crisp?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rae can heard humming out the "Ghostbusters" theme while she's in the kitchen, whipping out everyone favorite dessert, if made hot and fresh and can be put together with vanilla ice cream--apple crisp.
Rae mixes in green ripe apples, with oats, brown sugar, melted butter, and other secret ingredients were added and put it all in a pan and put in the oven for almost an half hour and voila! She takes it out of the oven to cool for a bit.
"Hey, guys!" Rae shouted. "Can you smell that?"
She waits for a moment and hears footsteps rushing down the stairs. Rae turns around and gets to the freezer to pick up a carton of vanilla ice cream. The footsteps get louder and faster and the entire gang arrived in the nick of time.
"Isn't that apple crisp that we've smelled?" Xiro asked.
"It sure is!" Rae chuckled.
"I love the tart taste of the apples," said Kairel.
"I love the sweetness of the sugar," said Bruma.
"I love the chewy oats," said Panthy.
"I love the ice cream in the crisp, darling," said Teresa.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Leo asked. "Let's dig in."
Rae nodded in agreement and went to grab a metal spoon and bowls. But Rae suddenly stopped and dropped her jaw.
"Whoa, Rae," Benny spoke. "What's the matter?"
"The apple crisp...it's gone!"
The entire pan full of apple crisp in the stovetop where Rae put to cool, it mysteriously vanished.
"How on earth did this happen?" Johnny asked.
"Xiro," said Teresa, pointing at Xiro. "You didn't try to steal the whole pan again before all of us went down here?"
"Why is everybody pointing fingers at me?" Xiro exclaimed. "I didn't do anything."
"I've actually kept my eye on him this time," Kairel explained. "He didn't sneak out or anything like that."
Then everyone turned their heads on Johnny.
"I didn't do anything also!" Johnny exclaimed. "Quit picking on me!"
"So," said Benny. "If it isn't Xiro or Johnny..."
"Then who stole the apple crisp?" Leo asked.
The gang stood in the kitchen thinking while Rae puts the ice cream back in the freezer. While they were thinking, they heard very loud rock music coming from the Fantastic Lynx Productions studio warehouse. They can ever hear Heath's loud and obnoxious sing-along.
The gang looked out at the window and see the warehouse door opened and watched him "rocking hard".
"If you ask me," said Dagnino. "I'd said he stole it."
"I'll go get the rope," said Panthy.
A few minutes later, the gang arrived at the warehouse and quietly tiptoed to the opened warehouse door, covering their eyes from hearing Heath's singing. Peeking around the corner, they see the apple crisp right next to the lighting equipment. The gang huddled in to form a plan and split themselves up into groups. One group, which is Rae, Panthy, Xiro, and Bruma, will keep in eye on Heath to make sure he doesn't spot on the other group, which is Benny, Leo, Johnny, Teresa, and Kairel, who attempt to take the apple crisp back. If Heath spots them, then Dagnino will lasso him and tie him up, just to be safe.
Luckily, the gang brought earmuffs to keep from making them deaf from the loud rock music.
"Who doesn't like this kind of music anymore?" Johnny asked.
"We'll worry about that later," Benny said. "Let's get our dessert back."
The group tiptoed towards the apple crisp and were about to take it until...
"Hey!"
The group froze and thought that they were caught.
"Rae the Lioness. What are you doing creeping near my door?" The group stood there frozen, sweat dripping all over their bodies in fear.
"I was...uh..."
"Oh, admiring my beautiful singing voice, are you?"
"Uh...yeah, I was...umm..."
The group sighed in relief and proceeded on taking the apple crisp while Rae distracts Heath.
"What are you listening, uhh, the Wylie and the Pussycats?" Rae stuttered.
"That's my favorite band!" Heath exclaimed. "My entire family loves this band, except my dad, who was a very stuffy person. Anyway, wanna come on in?"
"No thanks, Heath. I got to go. I've got a very important schedule to keep up with the crew and--"
"No spare time for me, huh? Perhaps we can make time."
"I don't think so. Dagnino, now!"
Dagnino lassos Heath and ties him up in a nearby supporting beam. Benny, Leo, Johnny, and the others rushed out of the building and runs back to the studio.
"I would never make spare time for an apple crisp thief!" Rae said, punching him in the face, giving him a black-eye. She runs out of the building with Xiro and the others and head back to the studio.
Heath makes a growling noise, expressing his angry face.
"I'll get you guys for this, even when you make another batch of those apple crisps," uttered Heath. "I will win and I will--"
A stick appears and whacks Heath unconscious.
"Next time, Heath Lynx," said Rafiki. "Learn to make your own, not stealing."
Rafiki takes off and chuckles on the way.
