“Anna hates me…” sniffed Katrika as she sat in the living room of her home. Anna had just learned to generate electricity and last time Katrika tried to glomp her she got a NASTY surprise. Poor Kat had come home smoldering. Zoekin was by her side, doing all he could to comfort his giant friend. He hated to see her so sad, so did I for that mater. I don’t know if you, gentle reader, had ever seen someone as sweet and kind as Katrika crying her eyes out, but let me tell you that it is the single most heart breaking thing you will ever see. It is like seeing someone kick a poor defenseless puppy, if the puppy in questing was a giant man eating Naga.

I am not a man of many talents. In fact my absence of any talent can almost be considered a talent in and of itself. But there is one thing I am unquestionable good at, and that is pie. So it was no surprise to Zoekin or Katrika when I brought over a pie to try and cheer Kat up. What was a surprise was the mere size of that pie, it was big enough hold an entire Naga, with plenty of room left over. It was fortunate that Zoekin had a big enough living room to fit the massive pie. Although I do not know how I ever got that pie through the front door, or how I carried it all the way from Felraya. These things I will simply leave in the hands of scholars and philosophers to answer.

“Wow,” Katrika said as she looked at my magnificent culinary masterpiece “what kind of pie is that?”

“It’s an Anna pie!” I happily proclaimed, “Crisis helped hog tie Anna for me, and I made the pie filler out of a special type of berries that absorbs electricity so you don’t have to worry about Anna shocking you.”

“Will someone get me out of here!” came Anna’s muffled voice from inside the pie. By the tone in her speech I could tell she did not think my pie plan was nearly as awesome and tasty as I thought it was.

Katrika looked overjoyed as she leapt happily beneath the pie crust. “Katrika what are you…AGGHHHH!” Anna shouted, her voice drown out by the sounds of intense Naga smooching.

“I think she likes the pie” said Zoekin as a small blush rose to his cheeks. “Lets go into the kitchen and give those two some ‘Alone’ time.”

I agreed and we both headed into the kitchen to talk over nice cool Mountain Dew. I was halfway though my third can, and theses cans where sized for a giant Naga remember, when the lovely angle Markie came walking into the kitchen, dabbing a napkin daintily on her lips.   

“Oh, hello you two. I’m sorry about that pie you had in the living room, it just looked so good that I couldn’t resist eating it all up.” Markie said as Zoekin and I exchanged worried glances.

Markie patted the small bulge in her stomach as she took a seat next to me.

“My complements to the chief, I think that was the best pie I have ever eaten.”

“Thank you! I put a lot of work into it, I’m glad you enjoyed it.” I said beaming with pride. Markie was the most beautiful angel I have ever seen, and I hear pie is the quickest way to a woman’s heart.

“Umm… Markie,” Zoekin said, ruining my chance to get a thank you kiss from my angelic crush. “Did you realize that Anna and Katrika where in that pie?”

The look on Markies face was that of pure shock. She stammered a bit, trying to form a coherent sentence, then fainted right away.

“Oh great” said Zoekin, a tiny bit annoyed “Zalzas, get me a bucket full of cold water, we need to wake her up before she starts digesting my friends.”

I happily ran to the basement to grab a bucket, Markie had worn a white shirt today and I was more then egger to throw a bucket of cold water on it.

“Katrika you dork! Stop cuddling me, I think we have been eaten!” Anna said as she tried to pry off the young Katrika from her body.

“I think your right” Katrika said as she looked around the dark stomach of there angelic friend. “We should do something……Right after a little more cuddling!” Katrika leapt at Anna again and continued to hug the heck out of her.

Anna let out a big sigh.
“Why me?”
