Fan: Life of PIE

6:00 am

Johnny Toast woke up on a day like any other, filled with action and danger that he had become numb to. He staggered out his bedroom door into the PIE apartment, with his close friend, Johnny Ghost, coming out of his room across the hall. Toast walked to the kitchen while Ghost sat down at his desk. "Coffee or tea, sir?" Toast asked.

"Coffee please, and toast" said Ghost, rubbing his eyes.

"yes, sir?" Toast asked, turning on the coffee maker.

"what was that?"

"you wanted something, sir?"

"I asked for toast, Toast" realizing what he meant, Toast laughed and said

"right, sir." He poured Ghost's coffee and put bread in the toaster, not thinking to make himself breakfast. He gave Ghost his coffee and toast and sat down in his armchair. When he reached for his whiskey bottle, he found nothing. Toast searched the floor and the desk, then asked "sir, do you know where I put my whiskey bottle?" Ghost took a bite of his toast and said

"I have hidden it" Toast rubbed his eyes and said

"Sir, its too early in the morning for this. Where did you put it?"

"It's a win-win situation, Toast. If you don't find it, you might be able to kick this drinking problem of yours, if you do find it, I know your investigative skills have improved!" Toast stood up and said

"you really have a problem with my minor drinking issue, sir." As he walked to the kitchen to find his bottle, he heard Ghost mutter

"minor." After nearly half an hour of searching, Toast resorted to making himself a cup of tea. Then the two went on their computers to search for a case.

7:00 am

"sir, our friends at Area 51 sent me a file, they think they spotted some sort of creature. Aparentlyy no one got a good look at it, but it sounds dangerous. Should we check it out?" Said Toast, reading one of hundreds of emails in his inbox. Ghost didntt respond. "Sir, is everything alright." Ghost was gripping the arms of his chair, looking into the distance. Toast got up and looked at his laptop, it said something about a ghost called 'cardboard friend' who was constantly talking about someone called Gregory. He could hear Ghost muttering about his father and knives. Toast got up and ran towards the kitchen. First he put all the knives into a drawer, then locked it. Then he started making a cup of tea to calm him down. As Ghost was getting louder in his mutterings, he opened another drawer and pulled out a syringe of anesthetic. Toast poured the tea and rushed to Ghost's side, the syringe hidden behind his back. "Sir? Sir, are you alright?" He asked

"What is it?" Ghost yelled. Toast offered him the cup and said

"I made you some tea, would you like it?" Ghost stuttered

"T-T-Tea?" He shakily took the cup and drank it. Once he calmed down he asked "What, how. Um, Johnny, what happened?" Toast sighed and said

"you just asked for some tea, sir" Ghost looked at his tea and said

"I don't- I don't re... Well thank you Toast" Toast stood up and said

"that's what I'm here for, sir" the Walked back to the kitchen and put everything back the way it was. When he got back to the desk, Ghost said

"Johnny, there's a chef in Montana that says every drain in her restaurant is leaking a greenish-black ooze."

"ectoplasm, sir?"

"I do hope so, that would make it much simpler. Let's go Toast!" Then they went outside to the ghost mobile and drove to the airport.

3:00 am. next morning.

Johnny Toast and Ghost walked back into their apartment with singed hair and clothes and splateredd with goo.

"well, not ectoplasm, sir" Toast said

"quite right, Toast. That's the thing with level 5 ooze monsters."

" They do like to go out with a bang, sir" Ghost walked back to his room and Toast said "no dinner, sir?" Ghost stretched and said

"Shower, sleep, big breakfast tomorrow. Night Toast" then he disapearedd into his room. Toast slowly walked to his room, colapsedd onto his bed, and drifted to sleep, with a day much like this one on the horizon.
