School Food Fight

School Food Fight.

          It was a sunny eleven o’clock in the morning at Babe Ruth Elementary School, when the bell rang signaling the start of lunch for the entire school. In this particular day, however, lunch at this school, like everything else at this school, is anything but ordinary.

            Babe Ruth Elementary isn’t any other elementary school as it is a school filled with the craziest and most imaginative kids ever. Every day, these kids do the craziest things during each class, especially during lunch, which no other school ever does anywhere else. Whether it’s an entire circus arriving at the school, or even bringing in giant mutated ants for the science fair.

            On that day’s lunch menu, there was a lot of pasta and pizza available along with some watermelons, apple juice, and packets of ketchup. The perfect ingredients for something that will end up causing very strange and crazy things for the school, just like every other times.

            It all started out like any other school day, although it was raining a little outside and somehow a cow was in the middle of the lunchroom. A lot of students were waiting in line like they all normally would in order to get their food, when suddenly it happened.

            Someone, whose identity may never be known, threw a whole pizza pie towards the table that had the kids who were all dramatic actors. All of the dramatic actors were dressed as characters from the Star Trek franchise for a play the school was making.

            One of them was dressed a lot like Captain James T. Kirk and sitting in a chair that resembled the Enterprise’s captain’s chair. The Kirk impersonating child saw the pizza pie and jumped to the middle of the lunch table and began talking like Kirk.

            “Look out!” the kid yelled in a manner similar to Shatner’s role as Kirk. “There is! A pizza pie! Coming right at us! Look out!!!”

            The pizza pie hit the table and the cheese and sauce spread all over the table and unto the students. The drama students all turned in the direction of where the pizza pie was flown from and got out their Coke spitting phasers and fired at everyone else.

            Those who got hit by the sprayed soda got mad enough to grab trebuchets and fill them up with whatever was available. The trebuchets launched the food right back at the drama students and soon everyone in the lunch room took part in it. Even the janitor who had to clean everything up later took part in it by firing a hand cannon full of meatballs at pretty much anyone.

            Ten minutes later, and the immense food fight was still going on, with every inch of the lunch room covered in food spatter, like a really bloody war zone. The whole thing felt like a mixture of many different war films, like Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, All Quiet on the Western Front, The Longest Day, Platoon, and many other different films.

            You have kids covered head to toe in ketchup, others stuck to the floor, and some more on the ground unable to move because they were full from eating so much. When you think that the battle might finally be over, it just keeps getting messier and much crazier than before.

            Then, one kid, unknown as to which side he’s on, and not covered in food, got in the middle of the lunch room and told everyone to stop. The kid started to tell them that they should seize this pointless fighting and learn to work together as equals. All of the kids from both sides looked at each other for a few seconds and then just threw all the food at the kid in the middle, burying him in a large pile of food.

            Two minutes later the fighting was starting to end, with both sides having run out of food to throw at each other. Even after throwing plastic plates, that too was starting to run out eventually until there was nothing left.

            After both sides ran out of things to throw, both of them waved a white flag to signify that both sides have decided to give up this pointless fighting. One kid from each side walked to the middle of the lunch room and agreed to stop by shaking their hands.

            Just then the same kid who had wanted everybody to stop suddenly appeared out of nowhere carrying pies that usually are shown to throw at someone. He was about to shove the pies at the two other kids when, suddenly, a bell rang signaling the end of lunch time.

            Everyone cleaned themselves up and left the lunch room to go to their classes like nothing happened. The only one left was the kid holding the pies who just stood there for a moment and then hit himself with the pie.

End.
