Admiral Tommy Tomato

“O.K, listen up here, Fruits!” I cried. “I’m Tommy Tomato and I’m gonna help all of you leftover fruits escape!”

I saw Kevin making for the basement door. “Kevin, get back here!” I roared.

The Kiwi flinched and rolled back towards me.

PERRY !” I yelled towards the pantry.

The plum looked out nervously. “Yes sir?”

“Suck in that gut of yours and get some courage! Or I’ll make ya inta a pudding myself!”

Perry the plum looked pale.

“Now, Fruits…Attack!”

All the remaining Fruits brave enough to follow me, Admiral Tommy Tomato launched themselves at the Pie Lady. She screamed and fell to the ground. As the remaining fruits laid cover fire I escaped with the rest of the brigade.

I’m Admiral Tommy Tomato reporting, and no fruit will be left behind!
