Another Lunar Landing Muffed
Fiodelo was an itinerant watermelon salesman. In order to encourage more sales, he dressed up as a watermelon. You might recognize him as Watermelon Dude from LegoMovie2 minifigs.
Anyway, he was busy plying his wares, day in and day out.
It would seem that, after years of industrious hard work, he had cobbled enough kroner together to afford to buy a truck. He chose the payload truck from Dorado Showdown. Before his purchase, he calculated the truck’s payload capacity by subtracting the truck’s curbweight from it’s Gross Vehicle Weight Rating which he obtained from the manufacturer. He then divided into this number the average weight of an average watermelon, using numbers provided by the Watermelon Council. He determined that his new truck could hover with about 2,153 watermelons on board.
So, Fidelio decided to hover his vehicle over to the Cafe’ which services the crew of the Duplo Cargo Train. He dropped off 3 sweet, sweet slices.
Next stop was the venerable Heartlake City Resort Set. He dropped off eight slices at the juice bar. Then he announced, to no one in particular, “Now it is time for my Sacred Ten Minute Break! “ Since no one but a dolphin was there, no one objected. He rode the Resort monorail over to the Water Park. Buckets of water splashed over his head as he curved down the water slide. He then parasailed with that same dolphin, whose name was Sheen Martin. Sheen proceeded to bite Fidelio twice, once in each pink leg. “ I thought dolphins were always nice!” demonstrated Fidelio.
“ So it’s an off day,” retorted Sheen Martin. “ Bedsides, I objected back there.”
Meanwhile, it turned out that Fidelio had misunderstood( as in ignored) the four hover drive directions on the payload truck. He had failed to set the parking brake. He had also left the automatic transmission gear lever in the ultra-glide position. While our hapless watermelon salesman was busy extending his break by balancing on his windsurf board, the Dorado Showdown started to hover away, all by itself. It was already entering the clouds when plucky Resort life guard Mason Jars immediately summed up how dire this predicament was becoming.
The intrepid lifeguard sprang into action. Mason hopped into the driver’s seat of his nearby Creator 3-in-1 Rocket Truck. He engaged the powerful rocket for which his vehicle was named. He reached the Dorado somewhere between the Mesoshere and the thermosphere. He set his Rocket Rally Truck vehicle controls on autolifeguard, and hopped out, into the cab of the ever climbing watermelon delivery vehicle. By the time he had found the “Glide” switch, he had reached the moon. The vehicle glided (or should that be glode ?) smoothly down, perching itself to it’s final resting place atop the Nasa Apollo 11 Lunar Lander.
The result was semi-disastrous. No one hears the sound of a hover truck crashing in space. But, for what it’s worth, the two astronaut minifigs there managed to cook some fine watermelon pie, after they had recovered from being smushed into moon dust by a payload of watermelons.
Ultimately, Fidelio opened up an Emma’s Lunar Art Cafe’ on that spot, after marrying Emma, first. The Cafe’ specialized in Caramel Watermeloniatos. And velvet Moon Art paintings.
Denouement: Prankzy, who worked for Emma at her Earth Art Cafe’ location, always carried a torch (the torch from Brickheadz Lady Liberty ), and never forgave Emma for rejecting his overtures. This inspired that famous saying,” A spurned Prankzy is never quenched.” Meanwhile, Prankzy completed that overture of his. It had it’s premier performance at Andrea’s Heart Box. It was generally well received, when the Heart Box was handed to little Imogene “Babs “ Sadowski, age 2, who was very careful and respectful of the privilege, and did not drop the Heart Box when her sister let her hold it for the first time.
