Bob’s Short Story Part 2
January 10th, 2006

It was dark, smelly, and wet. But what exactly was "it"? Well poor Bob was wondering the same thing. The last thing he could remember was...A2. A2? Why on Earth would he remember A2?! Oh well, first thing's first: finding out where he is and how to get out. So, he stood up! But he fell... He stood up again! And this time he didn't fall! This time, he ran! He was running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, towards something. But alas, he has not a clue in the world what he is running towards. He doesn't even know where he is or how he got there! Yet still he runs, runs towards that something. Suddenly, he hears a noise. A weird noise, like a dentist's drill thingy. He gets scared and runs even faster. Now still unsure of what it is he's running toward, but sure of what he's running from: the noise. Next, before he knew what hit him, he was out cold on the... ground, right next to a stuffed monkey. A stuffed monkey...
It was bright and colorful and full of stuffed butterflies! Why butterflies? Why not stuffed monkeys? Stuffed monkeys... What is it with these stuffed... things?! They're everywhere, trying to eat us... monkeys... everywhere... tired...
"Wake up, young Sausage," said a voice. "Wake up you must, and wake up you will do."
Slowly Bob awoke, only to find himself face to face with a stuffed monkey.
"Awoken you have," said the strange stuffed monkey. "Now eat you must, or walk you can not." The strange stuffed monkey handed Bob a plate of cheese and left, muttering something inaudible as he did so. Bob simply stared at the place where the strange stuffed monkey once had been and the plate of cheese before him and wondered. Sadly, the time for wondering was cut short, as Bob heard that noise again. A drill, he though, a drill must be around here somewhere. Either that or a dentist! So he ate the cheese and was off! This time he at least had an idea of what he was looking for: the strange stuffed monkey and the source of the weird noise. So he went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on until he saw...a door! It was a big old door, with carvings of monkeys on it.
"Ooh a door," said Bob as he stared at the door. And, with his amazing courage, he opened the door...
"Yoyo am I, and Bob the Sad Sausage are you," said the strange stuffed monkey as Bob opened the door. "Sit and listen to me you must. Sit and listen to me you will."
So Yoyo went on about this one time he stubbed his toe on a door and about how much it hurt and how much he cried and how it traumatized him for life and made him the monkey he is today. This, of course, made Bob even sadder. (Bob the Sadder Sad Sausage?) Bob even cried. It was a very emotional story. Then, he finally stopped talking about that, and started talking seriously. Sorta.

"It was... 7 years ago when I first came... here. It was a dark and stormy night and I'd been washed ashore. I was soaking wet and freezing cold, but still I managed to get up and walk... to the grocery store. I bought a muffin and started walking. At the time I didn't know where I was walking, but something helped me. I fell into a hole... in the ground... and passed out. When I awoke many little midget people that seemed to be saying 'Muhna Muhna' surrounded me. But I could be wrong; I was still tired after all. But anyway, getting back to... Muhna Muhna. I decided to call them Muhna Muhna because of how they speak. After about 5 minutes I realized that I was bound tightly with dental floss and heard a noise that faintly resembled a dentist's drill thingy. Though, when it came in view I realized that it was actually a big giant laser ray thing. [For those of you that can't handle extreme violence involving 300,000 watts of electricity and a stuffed monkey, you may want to skip the next few sentences.] It was hardly an inch away from my face when it happened. There was a loud noise and then searing pain as the 300,000 watts of electricity surged through me. It sucked, a lot. All I ever did was buy a muffin..." Yoyo trailed off about muffins for some time, and then snapped back to reality... well, sorta. "And this is that very same giant laser ray thing," he said, pointing at something on the other side of the room. "This is also the very same room where I first saw the Muhna Muhna, those weird little things. But as few of them know, that giant laser ray thing did something to me that day, something unnatural..." And with that he disappeared, right before Bob's very own sad and meaty eyes.
"That's sad," commented Bob, sadly. He was confused, because just a moment earlier there had been a strange stuffed monkey named Yoyo talking to him about muffins and Muhna Muhna. Muhna Muhna, thought Bob. The last thing he had said was that most of the Muhna Muhna didn't know what that big giant laser ray thing had done to him. Maybe... He thought long and hard. Or maybe it was short and soft. But anyway, he thought. Nah; couldn't be. It's just not possible. And at that very moment, Yoyo magically reappeared in the exact same spot so that it looked as if he had been there all along.
"Hello again" said Yoyo. "Disappear I did, before your very eyes. But gone I was not; invisible I was. See me you did not. And yet here, I most definitely was."
Now at this point, all Bob was thinking was What the... what is wrong with this monkey? He's crazy!

"Ahem," said Yoyo. "Explain I shall. It was when they blasted me with that giant laser ray thing that it happened. I felt all tingly, and then sudden rage. I'm not exactly sure what happened after that, but when I came to again I was on the ground amid what looked like a chaotic battlefield upon which a war of rage and vengeance might have been fought." Yoyo paused for a moment. "It was then that I saw it. It was no more than 3 feet away from me, and it couldn't have been more than 1 foot in height. It was the cutest little thing you ever did see. But, to my horror and dismay, it shriveled and turned to dust the instant I touched it. It just, disintegrated, right in front of me. It was so sad. It was a baby giraffe. I cried at the thought that I could have created this utterly chaotic mess. It just made me so sad. That I could be capable of such destruction... Unthinkable! It wasn't who I had been made to be. It was something entirely different. Something bad. Then-" Yoyo was cut short as a loud banging noise was heard outside. Bob just sat, silent and sad, while Yoyo went out another door to figure out what was going on. Only seconds later did he come rushing back inside, a look of panic and fear across his fuzzy face.
"They're here," he whispered, "The Others."
"Huh?" asked Bob, "What others?"
"The Others," stressed Yoyo, "THE Others!"
"Ok then..." Bob was so confused. Yoyo was becoming less and less sane with each passing minute.
"I think I'll just go-"
"NO! Don't do it! They'll eat you alive!" shouted Yoyo. "Whatever you do, don't go near them!"
"Umm, ok then...Whatever you say, crazy monkey," Bob said, as he opened the door and peered outside.
"What the," muttered Bob. "What ARE those?!" But it was too late; Bob was being dragged away by a mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat...
"Hey Sausage," said a voice. "Get up."
Bob didn't move.
"Hey SAUSAGE!" shouted the voice. "GET UP!!!"
Bob opened his eyes and blinked a lot. The room he was in was extremely bright and colorful and full of stuffed butterflies. Hm, he thought, stuffed butterflies. Hey, that reminds me of something. Something... Suddenly Bob realized that he was once again being dragged away by the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat.
"Hey, dude in red, who are you? And where are you taking me?" Bob asked the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat.
"Shut yer piehole," responded the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat as he turned his head back to look at the sad Sausage. Bob was in a small cart full of cheeses from all around the world.
"Cheese," Bob whispered, "that reminds me of Joe the Triple Cheeseburger from Burger King."
"D'you say somethin'?" inquired the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat.

"No," lied Bob. "I never said anything."
"Whatever," mumbled the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat as he continued driving the cart full of cheese. Meanwhile, Bob was trying to piece things together. Yoyo, muffins, Muhna Muhna, A2, cheese, Joe the Triple Cheeseburger, the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat - they all had to be connected somehow. Aha! Thought Bob, I've got it! Yoyo liked Steak and while he went to the grocery store he not only bought a muffin but also bought a bottle of A2 and a Steak. After eating the Steak he was walking down the street but he fell into a hole, dropping the A2 bottle as he did so. Then he met the Muhna Muhna who were led by the mysterious stranger in a bright red trench coat and were also holding Joe the Triple Cheeseburger captive. They must have lured him here with cheese. That means he must be somewhere nearby! But since poor little Bob was still in that cart, there was nothing he could do. That made him sad... sadder, that is. The whole ride his thoughts were of finding Joe the Triple Cheeseburger, and maybe even Marie, whom he had lost track of on their previous journey to find Joe. Just thinking about that made him depressed. Super depressed. So he went to sleep... in a box... full of cheese.
Bob, thought Marie, I wonder what happened to him after we were separated in the Galaxy of Weird Food; I haven't seen him in weeks. That last thing I remember before we were separated was a strange green stuffed monkey that could speak and claimed his name was Yoyo. He said many other things but all I could hear was a jumbled mess of words. I might have heard the words "Muhna Muhna," but I can't quite be sure. I remember colors, pretty swirly colors that were hypnotizing. But what I don't remember is what happened to Bob, or Joe for that matter. I remember the swirly colors getting closer and closer, and Bob running towards Joe, and Yoyo huddled on the ground mumbling some inaudible nonsense, but I don't remembered what happened then! Oh, if only I could remember! But - Suddenly Marie heard a noise and snapped back into reality. What was THAT! She thought to herself. It sounded like a bang; like something heavy falling. She looked around and finally realized she was being transported in a cart full of cheese from all around the world. And in it, was something she did not recognize...
