"I'm just saying. Pizza is wet." Octopus Man said, sitting at a table with Kookakoo, Floran, and Brazilian Bug Boy.
"No way dumbass! Pizza pizzas things, just like how water waters things. It's not wet it just has the property of being pineapple." Kookakoo retorted.
"I agree with Kookakoo." Brazilian Bug Boy stated, chiming into this heated debate. Floran just sat there with a perplexed look on her face. "What in the name of the almighty elohim are you guys even talking about?" Floran asked.
Octopus Man turned to Floran and replied, "Hey, it's not my fault cats are better than dogs."
"NO! DOGS DO INDEED MAKE A SOUND WHEN THEY FALL OVER EVEN IF NO ONE IS THERE TO HEAR IT!" Kookakoo shouted in response.
Brazilian Bug Boy looked away for a second, thinking to himself. "You know, I think Floran might be right. How did we even get on this conversation to begin with?" Octopus Man chuckled to himself a bit. "Well let me throw you into my flashback for a second for you to remember."
2 minutes ago
"THE WORLD IS ENDING!" Civilians screamed as buildings crumbled to the ground and the sky turned red. Octopus Man and Kookakoo, being the courageous heroes they were, had already prepared themselves for this event and stood outside, ready to face whatever being was causing this destruction.
"We are totally not prepared for this event and are not ready to face whatever being is causing this destruction." Kookakoo stated bluntly. Octopus Man nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, one building began to fall towards them. They weren't paying attention though. Instead, they continued staring off blankly. Just before the towering structure could collapse onto them, Floran, with her angel wings spread out, swooped in with a sword made of energy and slice the building in half, saving them from being crushed.
Once she landed on the ground and her wings retracted, she turned to face Octopus Man and Kookakoo who were still staring off into the distance. Octopus Man then saw Floran out of the corner of his eye and turned to face her. "Oh hey Jessica."
"YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW MY-" Floran was about to scream at Octopus Man like the straight man character she was, but realized that it was not worth it. She just facepalmed before speaking once again. "Do you guys even know what is causing the world to collapse?"
"No clue." Octopus Man responded, shifting his gaze to the sky. "Could be Satan." Kookakoo stated. "Very true. He's known for this kinda thing according to this obscure book I read once." Octopus Man replied.
"Enough one-liners, this is serious." Floran said in an exasperated tone. Octopus Man and Kookakoo were now both wearing suits and ties. "Do we not look serious to you?" Octopus Man asked.
This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.
Brazilian Bug Boy then ran up to them and screamed, "GUYS! I LEFT MY OVEN ON! I THINK IT BURNED THE CUPCAKES I WAS BAKING AND THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT CAUSED THE WORLD TO PLUNGE INTO CHAOS!"
Octopus Man and Kookakoo, who were inexplicably back to wearing their normal attire, turned to face Brazilian Bug Boy. "Ugh, be serious man." Octopus Man said, rolling his eyes. "Exactly. Why is everyone constantly making jokes." Kookakoo added.
Floran gave a side-eye to them before saying, "I'll beat them to a bloody pulp later. Continue what you were saying Brazilian Bug Boy." He nodded and continued. "Yes, as I was saying. I left my oven on, and a butterfly knocked on my door and said 'I'm gonna do an effect' and then the world started crumbling."
"... What did the oven have to do with that?" Floran asked with a deadpan expression on her face. "I BURNED MY CUPCAKES! I WANTED THEM SO BAD!" Brazilian Bug Boy replied with a shout.
"Not as good as biscuits." Octopus Man and Kookakoo stated simultaneously.
Brazilian Bug Boy ignored them and continued what he was saying. "I think we gotta find this butterfly and kill it with our bare hands. Like rip it apart limb from limb. Like just absolutely clobber it. I mean completely and utterly crush it, while giving it a slow and painful death."
"I don't know why you had to get so graphic, but okay, let's find this thing." Floran replied. She turned her head to look at Octopus Man and Kookakoo before waving them on. "Come on you two."
Octopus Man sighed and started whining. "Why must we always do work." Kookakoo, also whining, said, "Literally! We do not deserve this."
The four of them spend many years finding this butterfly. After just one minute, they found the butterflies secret hideout. "Here it is I think." Brazilian Bug Boy stated, pointing to a cave.
"How do you know it's here?" Floran asked, looking perplexed. "Because before it did the effect, I asked it where it lived." Brazilian Bug Boy replied. "You could have said that earlier but okay." Floran said with a hint of both sarcasm and exhaustion in her voice.
They walk into the cave. It was pitch black inside and the only thing they could see was the back of their eyelids. "Why are we all closing our eyes suddenly?" Floran asked.
"Good question." Octopus Man said. The four of them opened their eyes, and the cave was actually well lit.
"WHO DARES ENTER MY CAVE!" The butterfly shouted. The four of them looked around to see where the sound was coming from. Kookakoo hid behind Octopus Man and began crying. "What's wrong Kookakoo? We've been through worse than this." Octopus Man stated, looking over at her. "Yeah but, I never told you this but my greatest fear ever is a butterfly." Kookakoo replied.
"Hm? Why are you scared of Butterflies?" Octopus Man asked. "I'm not. I'm scared of a butterfly. If I see a singular butterfly I freak out. Seeing multiple is nothing though." Kookakoo explained. "Oh, that makes sense." Octopus Man responded with a smile.
All of the sudden, the butterfly descended from the sky. "We're in a cave. There is no sky." Floran stated.
Thanks for pointing out my error, but I'm the narrator here.
"Whatevs." Floran said, shrugging her shoulders.
Brazilian Bug Boy stepped up to the butterfly and asked, "Are you the once causing all of this chaos?"
"Why yes I am. I just saw the movie 'The Butterfly Effect' and was like, damn, I can do that? And so I put my butterfly powers to work." the butterfly explained.
"And what exactly did you do to put the effect in motion?" Floran asked.
"You see. I said pineapple on pizza was good and the world naturally devolved within seconds." the butterfly answered.
"And that's how the argument started." Octopus Man concluded, finishing the flashback. "Oh yeah I forgot." Brazilian Bug Boy said to himself.
"That also explains why the Earth was destroyed." Floran stated.
The four of them were sitting in a room that was floating in the vacuum of space.
