Hot and Cold Collide

I had to do an assignment in school where I write a story about an empty box, so I figure I might as well write about my favorite comic book characters, Chocolate and Vanilla! Here it is:

Chocolate and Vanilla: A Surprising Christmas

It was Christmas Eve.The Carratoan Mall was extremely busy. Mr. and Mrs. Hopper had to get presents for the children, Chocolate and Vanilla. 

Then Mr. Hopper said, “So, Chocolate wants some game system. The… ‘ON?’ I think. And Vanilla wants a cell phone. The ‘Orangefruit Touch.’ These kids and their crazy gadgets.

“Honey, look! The ‘ON’ Chocolate wants is right over there! And there’s only one left,” yelled Mrs. Hopper while pointing at it. Suddenly, everyone looked at that store. “I probably shouldn’t have said that.”

“Hang on,” yelled Mr. Hopper. With a swift motion, he grabbed his wife’s hand and hopped as fast as he could to the video game system. He just barely grabbed it and quickly went over to the cashier. The cashier scanned the box and Mr. and Mrs. Hopper went to find the cell phone.

“There it is,” whispered Mrs. Hopper.

“Try not to yell about it like last time,” whispered Mr. Hopper sternly. Again, they went in the store to grab it. They bought it, left the mall and got in the car. Meanwhile at home, Chocolate and Vanilla were talking.

“Man, when are Mom and Dad going to get home?” asked Chocolate. “They’ve been gone for hours!”

Vanilla replied, “They must be having trouble getting our presents. It’s Christmas Eve, you moron. Be thankful they’re not at the grocery store getting carrots as our gifts. Although, we are rabbits, I think we’d rather enjoy carrots.

“Why is it that you girls are always so patient?” asked Chocolate.

“It’s because us girls are more mature,” answered Vanilla.

“I thought only older sisters were supposed to be naggy. You’re younger than me,” complained Chocolate.

“I’m not younger. I was born 5 minutes after you, due to an…” Vanilla was cut off by snoring. “And of course you fall asleep just as I was going to explain the whole way twins are formed! Honestly, do you have to… and I’m talking to myself again. I guess I’ll just go to sleep.” With Chocolate and Vanilla sleeping, Mr. and Mrs. Hopper returned home.

“Let’s wrap these presents and get some sleep,” whispered Mrs. Hopper. With haste, they quickly wrapped the gifts. The next morning, Chocolate was the first to wake up.

“Vanilla, wake up! It’s Christmas,” Chocolate exclaimed.

“Why is it that every other day of the year, you won’t wake up until 2:00 PM?” asked Vanilla.

“Who cares, now let’s go,” whispered Chocolate. Chocolate and Vanilla quickly hopped to their parents’ room. “Mom, Dad, wake up! It’s Christmas,” yelled Vanilla happily. Mr. and Mrs. Hopper crawled out of bed and went downstairs. When everyone was ready, Chocolate and Vanilla shredded the wrapping paper on the presents quickly.

“Yes! The ‘ON’! It’s just what I wanted,” exclaimed Chocolate.

“Yes! My very own ‘Orangefruit Touch’! I can’t wait to call my friends,” yelled Vanilla. But when they both opened the boxes their presents were in, they both had the same dissapointed look on their face. The boxes were empty. Chocolate started to giggle a bit. Then Vanilla giggled too. Then both Chocolate and Vanilla were both crying with laughter.

“What are the odds, that both the boxes, would be empty?” asked Chocolate with a giggly voice.

“So, I just wasted $754 for 2 empty boxes?” complained Mr. Hopper.

“Oh, well, why don’t you return them and exchange them tomorrow, seeing as today, the stores are all closed,” said Vanilla.

“I guess I have to do that tomorrow,” complained Mr. Hopper.
