Bobbert

Once upon a time there was a guy named Bob. His mom was Strange and his dad was Dead; those were their names. Their last name was Guy. So they were Mr. Dead Guy, Mrs. Strange Guy and Bob Guy. Strange's maiden name was Person, so she was originally Strange Person. Bob's name was actually short for Bobbert, though nobody called him that.

Bobbert Guy was born on May 17th 1974. It was a sunny day. Strange was in the hospital and was very happy. She was about to give birth to her first child. Strange was calm and her baby was on time. As Dead, on the other hand was going out of his mind. He just couldn't believe he was going to be a father.

The doctors finally calmed Dead down and Strange gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. When the nurse handed Strange her newborn baby, Strange and Dead looked into their son's eyes. They both knew this little baby boy would change their lives forever. It was at this time that Strange and Dead decided to name their child. They both agreed to name him Bobbert.

Bob grew to two years old and was a menace. He did everything he could to be bad. He flushed his socks down the toilet and drew on his parents bed with mustard. He also drew on the walls with permanent marker but, those were only a few of the things that he had done, and they weren't the worst ones either.

Bob's parents eventually taught their son not to try to get into trouble. Little Bob was upset at first but, because he finally got used to it and learned to do more useful things like helping his parents with chores, he got over it.

Bob finally reached the age of 13. One day he brought his girlfriend, Mars, home. Her name was short for Marisa but everyone called her Mars. She had bright red hair and green eyes. She had 5 earrings in each ear and a nose ring. Of course she was completely fake. She dyed her hair, wore contacts, and her earrings -- were clip-ons. She also bought the cheapest clothes she could find, and lived in a trailer park, but she would always brag about how "rich" her family was.

When Strange and Dead met Mars they couldn't believe that she was their son's girlfriend. She was everything they didn't want near their son.

After Mars had left, Bob talked to his parents. They were so confused they didn't know what to say. They couldn't believe that their son was dating a girl like Mars.

Finally Strange broke the silence, "Bob, it's not like she's, well ... uh ... maybe she is ... but that's okay. I know you like her but she's so fake! Why can't you like a more natural girl, like that girl next door?"

Dead effortlessly tried to help, "Yes Bob, your mother's right. That girl next door is very nice. She's pretty, she's nice, she lives next door and um, Did I say she's nice?"

"You're not helping, dear," Strange told her husband.

"But Dad," Bob whined, "I like Mars. Besides, Misty is my best friend. We do best friend stuff together. She doesn't even belong to the Oogie-Boogie Guys, like I do."

Bob's parents gasped, "Gasp! Not the Oogie-Boogie Guys!"

"Bob! How could you do this to us?" Strange asked.

"Bob I heard that gang steals chocolate bars," Dead added cautiously.

"Yes Dad, that's true. We steal chocolate bars." Bob replied.

"Oh no! My little boy is ... stealing chocolate bars!" Strange cried out, and burst into tears.

"Mom it's not that bad," Bob said trying to comfort her, "we only steal them once a month."

"But they're chocolate bars! You're going to get caught, son," Strange said worriedly.

"Look, it's my choice. I can do what I want, so leave me alone!" and Bob stormed off.

Three years later, Bob was going out with a different girl. She was called Barbie Doll. She had blonde hair and blue eyes that lit up whenever she smiled. But that relationship ended when Barbie met Ken, whom she later married.

Bob stopped stealing chocolate bars and went on to live a normal life. When he finished high school, he went on to university where he studied to be a writer for children's books, but he sucked at that so he became an actor. He actually became very famous.

One day, Bob was reading over the script for his new movie when he got a mysterious phone call.

Ring! Ring!

"Hello, this is Bob."

"Hello Mr. Bobbert. Guess who..." answered the caller.

"Miss, who are you?" asked Bob.

"You don't remember me? Gosh, Bobby, I thought you'd guess right for sure. Since you don't remember me I'll leave you alone. I'm very sorry for wasting your time, Mr. Bobbert. Good-"

"Wait!" Bob interrupted.

"What?" she asked.

"Maybe I do remember you, your voice sounds ... familiar, somehow. I just can't remember exactly where I heard it before." Bob explained.

"Bobby, it's me ... Misty," Misty told him.

"Misty! I haven't heard from you in the longest time! How are you? Are you married? Do you have any kids? Are you in trouble?" he asked.

"So you remember me after all, Bobby. I'm great, how are you? No I'm not married, no kids, I don't even have a boyfriend. And I'm not in trouble, I just hadn't talked to you for so long and letters get so boring after a while. So I decided to call you," Misty explained, seeming to babble on endlessly.

"Wow, I never really expected you to call. We should get together for lunch sometime, where do you live?" Bob continued.

Their conversation went on and on and on and on and on and on and on ... Well, you get the picture. Bob and Misty went out for lunch the next day, and of course they were very nervous. After all they hadn't seen each other in years. Everything went smoothly and the press was buzzing with excitement about this mysterious unknown woman who seemed to be the girlfriend of the famous Bobbert Guy.

When Misty saw the headlines she didn't know what to say to anyone. Bob came to see her as usual. Of course, being as dense as he was, and having not seen the headlines, he didn't know what was going on. he figured out that something was bothering Misty, but he didn't ask since he figured it was probably personal.

As it was Misty's birthday, he took her to her favourite kind of restaurant: an all you can eat Chinese buffet. Misty quickly became much happier but, when the waiters came to sing "Happy Birthday they called Misty "Bobbert's girlfriend." Bobbert's jaw dropped and Misty fled from the table to the washroom.

Bob immediately got very angry with the waiters. They didn't know what was wrong. They explained that the newspapers said that she was his girlfriend. Bob explained that this was incorrect and if they wanted to say that kind of thing that they should have asked him first. They apologized and asked if there was anything they could do. Bob just told them that he could sort it out fine for himself.

Bob stood outside the Women's washroom door and heard Misty crying inside. He knocked loudly on the door and asked if he could come in. A curly-haired brunette came to the door and let him in. Bob thanked her politely and gave her an autograph. The young woman thanked him many times before she left.

"Misty, are you okay?" Bob asked quietly.

Misty opened the stall door and Bob gave her some tissues.

"I've never been so embarrassed in my life. When the waiters called me your girlfriend, I just didn't know what to do and I panicked," Misty explained.

"La-dee-dah look what I found in my laundry bag. All of Felicity Kendrell's underpants and they need a good wash!" Exclaimed a strange young woman named Prong.

Misty began to giggle quietly but soon burst out laughing. Bob just had the weirdest look of confusion on his face.

"Prong! What are you doing here?" asked Misty.

"I would ask you the same thing; but I think I already know," Prong replied. "I'll leave now, I didn't mean to interrupt. Hee hee hee," she trailed off. "You might need some whipped cream, if you know what I mean," Prong finished.

"Prong!! Don't say things like that. Bob doesn't know what you mean and I don't think he wants to know, either," Misty scolded Prong as her face grew redder.

"Sure he does..." Prong trailed off. Misty's face was even redder now.

"Um. I think I'll go now..." Bob said, standing up.

"Don't leave, it was just beginning to get interesting," Prong stalled.

"I'm sorry. Bob, this is my roommate and friend Prong Toopee. Prong, this is Bob," Misty said, introducing them.

Bob shook hands with Prong and Misty quickly composed herself. Misty splashed her face with cold water and redid her makeup. Prong washed her hands and started doing that annoying laugh again. The three of them returned to the dining area and Prong joined them along with her boyfriend, Phenry Rick Aperture. They enjoyed their meal, paid the cheque, and left to go to the park. Amazingly enough the park was called "The Park."

"I wonder if there are fishies on the swings..." Prong trailed off, smiling eccentrically.

"I can help you find some," offered Rick, "but I think they're in the pond."

"Hee hee hee," Prong laughed.

Prong ran around "The Park" screaming her head off while Rick chased her. During this time Bob and Misty decided to go for a walk around "The Park."

Prong finally ran up to them and screamed "Woo hoo!" She hurriedly ran away though, since Rick was still chasing her.

"She's nuts, I know. It really seems as though she and Rick get along well though. He's probably the only guy who has a mind like she does," Misty told Bob.

"I think she's funny. I mean, her stupidity is hilarious," Bob explained.

At that moment, Bob and Misty saw a woman with her kid look really strangely at Prong and shake her head. It was as if the woman couldn't believe the insanity of modern civilization.

"Yeah, she's always been like that. You do realize that they will run around this park for hours and not get tired don't you?" Misty asked.

"It seems as if they could go on for days," Bob confirmed.

"It's funny to watch them though," Misty replied.

"Yeah," Bob answered.

Bob and Misty walked around "The Park" and finally got away from Rick and Prong; whom I might add were still running around screaming. They sat on a bench where Rick and Prong couldn't see them and kept talking.

"Well, happy birthday, Misty," Bob said, handing her a present and giving her a tiny kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, Bob," Misty said, accepting the present. A smile crossed her face. Misty opened the present, it was a silver locket on a chain. The words "I love you" were engraved on the outside. On the inside there was a picture of Misty and Bob as kids as well as a picture of them as adults.

"Oh my gosh. I don't know what to say...It's beautiful, Bob, thank you," Misty said, thanking Bob. All Bob did was give her a hopeful smile.

Misty stared at the open locket in her hands and thought about all the things they did together, and finally came to a realization. She loved Bob too!

"Oh! Thank you so much!" Misty squealed. She hugged him tight. "I never really thought about it before, but I guess I felt like this all along. I love you too, Bob," Misty told him after pulling away.

They stared at each other for a moment smiling. Then they...Well, what do you think they did? They kissed!

"Woooooooooo!" Prong and Rick exclaimed like that annoying background noise on a TV show whenever a couple kisses.

"I knew it all along. They make the perfect couple, don't they Rick?" Prong said.

Misty and Bob just sat there blushing their little heads off.

"Prong, I think we should leave them alone. Oh no, I think some fishies have escaped! They're over there. Ahhhhhh!" Rick exclaimed.

They ran around "The Park" screaming again while Bob and Misty composed themselves. Misty put the necklace around her neck and she and Bob went to get the two goofballs running around "The Park."

Two months later, Rick and Prong got married. Three months later, Bob and Misty were married. Of course, Prong and Rick attended the new wedding. Bob and Misty were happier than ever before. And Bob finally figured out what the fishies were.

A few years later, the two couples were still good friends. They lived practically next door. And... oh no... Rick and Prong had kids. Fortunately they decided not to raise their daughter Yuu-rine and their son Stinky with as sick minds as they themselves had. Yeah... right.

Bob and Misty had a daughter named Migi. She was a bright-spirited young girl and had a very good relationship with her parents. The two families lived happily ever after until... The sequel coming soon...er, maybe.

The End. Or is it?
