| Chapter 14 Marshmallow Pies |
| �Hurray!� JoJo shouted from where he was sitting on the huge cookie. �Food at last!� �I could use some brekky myself,� Paul grinned as he scooped up a handful of marshmallow pie and stuff it into his mouth. Rita examined the contents of her sandwich and finding it to be tomato, lettuce, cheese, and mayonnaise, she gladly took a bite. Pam slid into the soup bowl, protected by a silver spoon and began eating gladly. When they had eaten their fill, the took time to look around themselves. Food of all kinds stretched on and on. �Well, what now?� Rita wondered as they strolled across a spinach pizza. �I�m thirsty,� JoJo complained. �Look!� Pam noticed. �There�s a huge bottle of Coca-Cola!� After reviving themselves with coke, they continued on. �Look at that huge ice cream sandwich!� JoJo exclaimed from where he had climbed up on top of a burrito for a better view. For the first time he seemed to be enjoying himself. �Surely you aren�t still hungry,� Pam said, rubbing her stomach. �You sure eat a lot for such a little guy.� JoJo ignored her comment. Rita knew he hated people drawing attention to the fact that he was so short and skinny. �We�ve got to check out this ice cream sandwich,� JoJo insisted. So, they followed him over to it and watched as he began indulging in the sweet treat. �This food all looks so good, I wish I had more room for it,� Pam sighed wistfully. �Hey look,� Paul said. �There�s a big gate on the backside of this ice cream sandwich. Maybe it will take us to our next sea.� JoJo groaned. �I could LIVE in this sea,� he told them. �Go away. Leave me alone. Don�t bother me.� Rita walked around to where Paul was on saw a huge gate that looked like it was made out of solid pearls. �Can you open it?� she asked. �I�ve been trying,� Paul told her. �It just won�t budge!� �Wait, what does it say up there?� asked Pam as she pointed to some letters at the top of the gate. �Just Say the Word,� Rita read, straining to see the small letters. �The word? Wonder what the word is,� Pam said. �Love of course,� Paul answered smoothly. �Love!� The gate swung open wide. �Come on, JoJo!� Pam called. JoJo followed reluctantly with a handful of ice cream. |
