21 May 2025
It was a quiet Wednesday. Cucumber & Pickles just relaxing in the apartment with the air con running. After they had the air con turned on long enough, they both began to shiver with their teeth chattering like they can barely get up to turn the air con off. Besides the reason Cucumber being unable to get up to turn the air con off, Pickles got up and then turned it off. After it was off, they were still cold. So Pickles walks into the bathroom that's connected to their master bedroom and turns the bathtub water on. Lest Cucumber wants to join Pickles, he turns the bathtub water temperature warm enough to not harm the babies in Cucumber's womb. So Pickles undresses himself by removing his shirt, pants and boxers and steps in.
Pickles sits in the bathtub and is enjoying the warm water so far. Cucumber finally gets up off the couch carefully and goes in the bathroom and decides to join Pickles. She removes her shirt, pants, bra and panties before she could even set a foot in the bathroom. She opens the curtain of the bathtub nearly startling Pickles. Cucumber asked if she wants to join his bathing. Pickles said "Yes" and she steps in carefully and sits with Pickles.
To ameliorate the bathing, Pickles grabs his cellphone, pulls up Spudify and searched for relaxing and soothing music. He presses play and already, Pickles' mind tingles from the music. Cucumber felt very relaxed from the music. Pickles starts rubbing Cucumber's back to massage her. Cucumber felt feasted from the rubbing and stroking. Pickles also gives her a belly rub making Cucumber even more pleased because she enjoys getting her pregnant belly rubbed because it makes her feel good.
After about a few minutes, Cucumber & Pickles step out of the bathtub to dry themselves off. Pickles blow dries his fur but his fur ended up being puffy. Cucumber snickered about the fact Pickles' fur being puffed. After Pickles was all dried up, Cucumber takes a turn to blow dry her fur and same thing happened, Cucumber's fur puffed too. Pickles also giggled and Cucumber giggled too. Cucumber looked at the time at it was 10 o'clock at night which means it's their bedtime. Cucumber then hops in the bed and Pickles hops in the bed too. They sleep close to each other.
22 May 2025
The morning comes and Pickles was still asleep. He then wakes up and notices Cucumber is missing. Pickles looked around the apartment to find her but she was nowhere to be seen. He begins to feel trepidatious and started to run outside. But he was still in his underwear. Vinegar walked by and sees Pickles wearing nothing but his underwear making him feel embarrassed. Vinegar began to chuckle followed by Pickles looking up and down at himself and he runs back into his apartment to put some clothes on.
Vinegar: I see London, I see France!
Pickles: (Looking up and down) Oh, shit! (Runs back in his apartment and puts his Bunny Cash shirt on and jeans) What's up Vin?
Vinegar: Just came by to see what's up. You?
Pickles: I can't find Cucumber anywhere. Where did she go?
Vinegar: Well, She's out shopping.
Pickles: Without me??
Vinegar: I guess without you. You were probably sleeping.
Pickles: Dammit!!
Vinegar: Chin up, Dude. How about a drink?
Pickles: Of what?
Vinegar: At the bar, Duh!
Pickles: You know what? That's a good idea.
Vinegar & Pickles walk to the bar Pickles goes to time to time. They guys walk in and Bartender Bill was working there. Bartender Bill was delighted to see Pickles because it is his birthday today. Bartender Bill told him happy birthday.
Bartender Bill: Hey Pickles! Happy birthday!
Pickles: Oh finally, someone who wishes me happy birthday.
Bartender Bill: Who else wouldn't?
Pickles: Uhhh.. Cucumber.
Bartender Bill: What? What made you say that?
Pickles: Because she left to go shopping without me.
Vinegar: Come on, cousin. I know it's your birthday. Happy birthday. There.
Pickles: Thanks. Just thanks.
Vinegar: What? That wasn't enough?
Bartender Bill: Pickles. You know you have to be grateful. Cucumber will be back. She has shopping to do.
Pickles: Yeah. A pregnant lady shopping.
Bartender Bill: That's r- Wait.. Cucumber's pregnant??
Pickles: Well yeah!
Bartender Bill: Lemme guess, you got her pregnant?
Pickles: Turns out I did. Months before I married her.
Bartender Bill: I know I'm late but.. Congrats on your marriage and I wish you the best on raising your kids!
Pickles: Thank you, Bartender Bill. You made me feel a little bit better.
Vinegar: Good to hear, Let's go play shuffleboard.
Pickles: Good idea.
Pickles & Vinegar walk to a shuffleboard table to play shuffleboard. After Pickles made his shot, Vinegar made a shot and got passed Pickles' slider. Right as Pickles makes his next turn, Vinegar tells Pickles that he has to go to the bathroom. Pickles then tells him to not be long whilst he was frustrated. He was frustrated because he thinks nobody cares about the fact that it's Pickles' birthday. Vinegar went to the restroom so he can make a phone call in peace. He dials Cucumber's number so he can talk to her. He waits for Cucumber to pick up. Cucumber was at the supermarket struggling to reach the napkins. She then asks for a worker to reach the napkins for her. So the worker kindly reaches it for her. Cucumber missed the phone call. When she looked at her caller ID, It was Vinegar. So she called him back. Vinegar quickly picks up his cellphone and answers it. Cucumber was the first to speak.
Cucumber: Hi, Vin! Sorry I didn't answer your call. I was trying to reach the napkins but it was too high. At least a nice worker reached them for me. What are you up to?
Vinegar: Nuttin, Just at a bar. I heard you were shopping. Is that correct?
Cucumber: Yup.
Vinegar: Without him. Now he's thinking you don't give a fuck about him anymore.
Cucumber: (Scoffs) Really now?? Of course I give a fuck about him! What makes him say that?
Vinegar: Well, It's Pickles' birthday and feels like crap because no one wishes him a happy birthday.
Cucumber: Oh please! I went out shopping for a good reason! I'm shopping to get party supplies like decorations, napkins, cake, and ice cream too.
Vinegar: Well that explains it. I hope he believe me when I tell him that.
Cucumber: Oh he'll believe you alright. Anyways, I'll be home soon but, Tell Pickles not to come home for a little while because I gotta invite the guests over so they can help me decorate the house with party stuff. Okay?
Vinegar: Sure thing.
Cucumber: Gotta go, love you bye. (Hangs up)
Vinegar: And she said it again!
Vinegar comes back to the game but Pickles wasn't playing shuffleboard. He started to get drunk and belligerent leaving Vinegar shocked.
Vinegar: Pickles! What the hell are you doing?
Pickles: Shut up, Pooper!
Vinegar: (Scoffs) What the hell did I ever do to you?!
Pickles: You scared Cucumber off causing her to forget about my birthday!
Vinegar: Oh, bullshit! Cucumber is just shopping! Got a fucking problem with that?!
Pickles: Shopping without me! Never know, she may be looking for another man!
Vinegar: Oh my fuckin' god. You're making so bunkum! She would never find another guy! There's no guy better than you!
Bartender Bill: Umm, Pickles. Would you listen to your cousin already?
Pickles: What? What? What? What do you want?
Vinegar: I was going to finish my sentence but, I don't think you're ready to hear it. I'm going home.
Pickles: Bye! Fuck you!
Vinegar: I'll pretend I didn't hear that.
Vinegar storms off and walks out the bar leaving Pickles at the bar. Pickles was still moping around on a barstool. Bartender Bill started talking with him.
Bartender Bill: Pickles. Why are you in such a bad mood?
Pickles: Because nobody gives a fuck about my birthday!
Bartender Bill: I wouldn't say nobody, I know it's your birthday, So does your cousin. And I'm sure Cucumber knows it because you and her had been together for decades.
Pickles: Yeah, sure.
Bartender Bill: But can you please answer my question? Why are you in such a bad mood? Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?
Pickles: You're god damn right I did! This morning started with Cucumber scaring the shit outta me as I found her missing!
Bartender Bill: Pickles, Just calm down. She'll be home soon.
Pickles: Maybe I should take a walk or something, To clear my head.
Bartender Bill: Nobody here is stopping you.
Pickles walks out the bar whilst he's still got a mopey expression on his face. He starts to walk around the park and take a seat the park bench alone so he can sulk. An hour as passed and Vinegar finds Pickles.
Vinegar: Pickles?
Pickles: What, pooper?
Vinegar: I just wanted to say I'm sorry.
Pickles: Forget it.
Vinegar: Pickles, You were right. I may've been a total douche to ya. But you just wouldn't listen to what I was about to say.
Pickles: Well, what were you gonna say?
Vinegar: Well, Why don't you meet me at the apartment so you can get the hint?
Pickles: I'll be there in a bit.
Vinegar: See ya then.
Vinegar walks out of the park to go to Pickles' apartment so he can help decorate. All the guests are already here so they can hang out. Even Todd came because he also knows it's Pickles' birthday which means he's there. Pickles had time to think and started to feel hopeful. He gets up off the park bench and walks back home. He walks up the stairs, pulls out his house key and unlocks the door. He walks in the house and finds out the lights are off with nobody there. Pickles was looking around to find Vinegar. He started by turning the light on but instead, The guests come out of hiding and all yell surprise.
Pickles felt even more grateful.
Pickles: Oh wow!
Jonathan: Feliz Compleanos, Pepinillos!
Pickles: Muchos Gracias!
Cucumber: Happy birthday baby!
Pickles: I knew you would remember! (Kisses her cheek)
Alexi: Happy 50th birthday, Pickles!
Geoff: Yeah! I can't believe it! You're fuckin' old!
Pickles: At least I'm still healthy heheh.
Zucchini: And guess what Pickles? Monty bought his Hawaiian punch! But sadly, Cucumber can't have some of that punch because she's pregnant.
Pickles: I understand but. Hook me up with that shit, Monty!
Monty: Sure thing, Buddy! (Pours a glass of his punch for Pickles and hands it to him)
Pickles: Thank you!
Before Pickles could take a sip, Todd walks to him and tells him happy birthday. Pickles was happy to see Todd and hugged him.
Todd: Happy birthday Pickles.
Pickles: Thanks Todd. I wonder if your bandmates said happy birthday to me.
Todd: Well ummm.. Look on your cellphone and go to BusySpace.com.
Pickles pulls out his cellphone and goes to the BusySpace app and, just to his surprise, He has tons of notifications telling him happy birthday, Including Bones, Hardy, Buzzsaw, Shirley, Walnut, Peggy, and so many more. Pickles was flattered by the fact he saw notifications on his phone wishing him happy birthday and felt even better.
Pickles: Words cannot describe how thankful I am. Ya'll are amazing!
Todd: Your dad would wish you happy birthday in heaven along with your loved ones.
Pickles: Even Kevyn, Lee and.. Aunt Pepper; even though Aunt Pepper's a bitch?
Todd: Well, I don't know if you really need to call your aunt a bitch, but I know she didn't treat you nice. Let's say she changed her mind over you in heaven and loves you finally.
Pickles: Maybe.
As the guests are chanting Pickles' name, An uninvited guest sneaks by Zucchini and stuff a paper in her pocket and takes off quietly. When Zucchini was turning around, she heard paper crumbling. She grabs the paper and unfolds it. It was a note saying
I'm breaking up with you, crybaby bitch ~Monty Kahoni
After Zucchini gets done reading the note, She starts to burst into tears and run outside. Cucumber then follows her so she can tell what's wrong. Zucchini was sitting on the curb crying her eyes out. Cucumber sits next to her to talk to her.
Cucumber: Zuke? Why are you crying? What's the matter?
Zucchini: This.. *sniff* note..
Cucumber: Note? What does it say?
Zucchini: (Pulls out the breakup note)
Cucumber: (Gasps) No..
Zucchini: It was stuffed in my pocket and.. *Sniff* Like, What did I do wrong?
Cucumber: You did no wrong, Zucchini. I don't know if Monty is really doing it on purpose or.. unless..
Zucchini: Unless what?
Cucumber: Unless he got framed.
Zucchini: Framed..?
Cucumber: I guess so. I mean, Monty would NEVER do something like this to you.
Zucchini: Can we go back inside? I know Pickles is good at solving mysteries as much as you are.
Cucumber: Of course. We'll ask Monty a couple questions. Okay?
Zucchini: Okay. (Hugs Cucumber)
Cucumber and Zucchini goes back into the apartment so they can investigate to see if Monty really wrote the break up letter to Zucchini. Cucumber hands the note to Pickles so he can ask Monty about the letter. Monty was confused about the letter.
Pickles: Is this true? You're breaking up with Zuke?
Monty: No, No. I never wrote that.
Pickles: What about the name on the bottom left?
Monty: (Looks) Uhhhh, I don't spell my last name like that.
Pickles: I see. This handwriting does look like a lady's handwriting.
Monty: And I don't write like that. I think I've been framed.
Pickles investigates further by sniffing the note along with Cucumber giving the note a sniff. They both recognise the smell. It was a lady's perform.
Pickles: Hold up, I recognise that scent.
Cucumber: You do?
Pickles: I smelt that scene coming from someone I encountered during our Greek trip.
Cucumber: Who?
Pickles: Phantom.. It was Phantom who wrote this note!
Cucumber: Phantom, You bitch! We gotta do something!
Vinegar: You're right, We gotta stop that bitch sooner or later!
Monty: You have to do the right thing before she frames all of us!
Pickles: We're photographers, We can do this. Me and Vin are a duo even when Cucumber is pregnant.
Monty: That's right! You guys are great photographers. Do what you must! But for now, Let's just celebrate your party.
Pickles: On it!
