Chicken Fry: Part Two

by avid_writer

And so Gertrude the Kacheek watched as Liletine gazed into her crystal box. She decided not to play water hockey; being at Liletine's house was so much more exciting. Liletine had murmured something about the Neopian Crisis, which is what most Neopians called the sad turn of events that had happened recently. Other than that Gertrude had no idea what Liletine was up to.

Liletine the Alien Aisha gazed intently at the Crystal Box, hoping to get a clue, any clue that might help her stop the Neopian Crisis. She was one of only a handful of Alien Aisha's in Neopia, most were in outer space. "Aha!" Liletine said to herself. An image was appearing. It was a Kacheek, Chiti by name, standing proudly in front of a Chicken Fry. Then the view darted inside the shop, to the kitchen, and then to Liletine's horror, a pair of Greta wings! No wonder! What a foolish Kacheek he was. Liletine could sense he knew nothing of the crisis he was causing but she was still flaming mad. The image disappeared and Liletine did too. Gertrude knew Liletine too well to be concerned. Liletine was off somewhere on purpose.

Gertrude flicked on the TV. "Oh!" she thought. It turned out that all the vegetables rotted, meaning the farmers would lose thousands of Neopoints. In the Neopian Crisis many horrible things had happened so this time Gertrude didn't care. Meanwhile, Liletine appeared in front of the Chicken Fry, right beside Chiti. "You fool!! Don't you know that eating Greta wings is extremely unlucky?" Liletine screamed at him. For a few minutes Chiti was dazed. He had every reason to be. From outta' nowhere this Alien Aisha appeared and just scolded him. It took a while but eventually Chiti realized she was an Alien Aisha and regained himself.

"Madam," he said calmly. "I assure you I have done extensive research on Greta's." Then he gave her a questioning glare. "How do you know about my wings?"

"I know many things, little Kacheek." At this, Chiti snarled. Ever since he became rich he wasn't used to being looked down upon.

"I demand you stop Chicken Fry at once."

"I refuse," Chiti replied flatly.

Then Liletine pulled out a box. It was her crystal box. "You'll see how terrible the Neopian Crisis will be. And I'm sure you'll know in your heart that you caused it," Liletine said solemnly handing the box over to Chiti.

Chiti looked inside and sure enough he saw something. By the time the box was done and it showed all it could show Chiti was crying, murmuring his apologies.

Chicken Fry got closed down and all Chiti's relatives thought he was crazy. Then he, Chiti, started a very popular hide and seek game and his relatives considered him successful once more. Neopia suddenly became normal again and nobody suspected Chicken Fry for the crisis. (Liletine promised she would not tell.) The local kids sorely missed their games of water hockey but everyone was relieved to see the floods stop. So that's the tale of Chicken Fry, a very strange and true tale if I say so me'self. Well, it's time ta' go. Ta ta.
