A short story I wrote in 5th grade about a turtle, a couple pop cans, and a quest for the golden banana.

Once upon a time in Popopalooza there was a turtle named Tortellini. He was taking his pet fish, Fish, for a walk. He was getting thirsty so he decided to stop at the local bar. He had a few drinks then he was ready to go again when he heard someone yell “WAIT! Stop right there.” Tortellini turned around and saw two pop cans dressed as detectives. They said, “Hello, Tortellini. We have a few questions to ask you”

Tortellini responded by saying “Who are you?”

“Why we are detectives. I’m Squirt, and this hear is Sparky”

“Oh how can i help you detectives?”

“Well there has been a huge theft. Someone has stolen…(dramatic pause) The Golden Banana!!!”

“What! How could someone do that!!”

“I know sir, it is quite awful. We heard that you have quite the eye for detail.”

“Umm i guess so. People have said that about me once or twice. I guess im pretty good.”

“Good, we need all the help we can get.”

“Can we come to your house and set up our stuff there? Our lab was invaded by Gorillas last weekend and still hasn’t been rebuilt.”

“Ya sure. Fish and I here always love a little company.”

“Great we will meet you there in a half hour.”

“How do you know where I live?”

“Oh we were gonna show up at your house anyways so we looked you up. We just happened to see you hear.”

“Oh ok detectives. Why doesn’t Sparky talk?”

“He hasn’t talked since… The Accident.”

“What accident?”

“Well a few years ago he was driving home from the store when his car broke down. He got out of his car to see what was wrong and someone called him the worst name he has ever heard!!”

“What did he get called?”

“They called him, CAFFEINE FREE!!!”

“Oh thats awful!!”

“Ya well we will se you in 26 minutes and 48 seconds”

“Ok detectives. See you then.”

Tortellini and Fish went strait home and cleaned up the place a little bit. They had a 5 story mansion with 27 bedrooms, 5 kitchens (1 per floor) 33 1/2 bathrooms and 1,148 cars. It was massive. When the detectives showed up, they set up their stuff on the 2nd floor and picked a bedroom. Squirt picked one on the 5th floor and Sparky picked one on the first floor because he was scared of heights. Then there was a sudden knocking on the door. When they opened the door, it was the same gorillas that invaded the detectives house. They all ran inside and following them all was the king gorilla, King Banana Pancakes and he was holding The Golden Banana. Tortellini, Squirt, and Sparky all gathered and started to fight the gorillas. Fish even joined in on the fighting. They took out all but 3 gorillas and King Banana Pancakes. They took out 2 more and then the gorilla through the dreaded banana bomb. It exploded and Tortellini, Squirt, and Sparky went flying and were knocked out. Fish was running for the dreaded red button that says “DO NOT PUSH. EMERGENCIES ONLY.” Fish knew this was an emergency and jumped through the glass and hit the button, turned around and took out the last gorilla. It was now down to Fish vs. King Banana Pancakes. Within 5 seconds King Banana Pancakes took out Fish with a massive blow to the left fin and he went flying across the room. King Banana Pancakes was wondering what happened when the red button got pushed. He assumed that nothing happened and as he was walking away Chuck Norris jumped down out the 4th story window and round-house kicked King Banana Pancakes in the face. The Golden Banana flew up in the air and Fish reached out his right fin and caught The Golden Banana. Fish and Chuck Norris were the heroes of the day. Chuck Norris round-house kicked the gorillas to prison, Fish is now Popopalooza’s new mayor, Tortellini still lives in his 5 story mansion, and Squirt and Sparky live back in they home which was re-built after the battle. Everyone lived happily ever after except the 172 gorillas and King Banana Pancakes who are all in prison.
