The Exploding Pig & The Snarky Calculator

by Premium Creator Club Memberes

George the broken calculator (because he was dropped in a pool)- Has really shiny hair - Snarky - He kinda just looks like a robot - Has a catch phrase “A broken calculator is right twice a day”. He’s bad at mad - Nice and he has an eye patch. Has bread (bigger than Peter’s) and has great abs. He has night vision.

Whenever he gives a snarky zinger he says “BURN!!!”

It was a dark and stormy night nag George the broken calculator was in his office. The lights were out,. The shades were drawn, but the street light was creeping through the slats as he sat at his desk with his feet up. He was sipping a beverage. MACHA TEA. Relaxing but a little worried. He hasn’t had a job in a long time. Maybe because he’s a calculator? Knock knock knock. Someone he doesn't know walks through the door. Famous-est singer in the world and explosive pig named Mona Lisa. He knew her. “Can I help you? “ “Are you a detective” Yes of course. Do you have a mystery?” “Yes. Someone took a speck of her ice cream out of the container. I was at a concert when it was stolen from my home. Neon pink was the ice cream.” George needs a case so he says yes. “Let’s visit to the scene of the crime” We cut to her home. Giant pig shaped mansion. There are too many red diamonds (unstolen FYI). The name of the house the 24K cheese house. Dallas, Texas. There are 25 thousand cats. As soon as we arrive. Gerog understands why she was so upset. She has a secret Ice cream collection in her house. The small amount of ice cream, to her, was a big deal. When they arrive a the house, she given him a tour. Then they arrive at the secret ice cream collection. George sees a clue. Soda can dog in the ice cream room who knocks down a vallina ice cream. It’s Mona Lisa’s dog. The lid of the vanilla comes open and a spoon comes out with a little bit of the pink ice cream on it. He dusts for prints. It’s Mona Lisa’s! “What’s the meaning of this!” Says George. “Mona Lisa says. I doesn’t know why they are on there!” She’s clearly lying. She really just wanted to meet him. SHE HAS A CRUSH ON HIM!. He’s flattered. But he’s also scandalized. He’s conflicted. He can’t deny that there is a lot to like. Also, he’s a lonely guy. Before he decided what to do, he decides that they need to spend time together. MONTAGE:

Juice Hut

Play in the park on the baby swing

Sing together

Watch Romantic Comedies all day

Take a tour of the planet Saturn

Go on a boat that’s a roller coaster

Go to a swimming pool for dogs.

Send each other notes

They Comb eachothers’ amazing hair

Base Jump together

At the end they are at a fancy restaurant itching pink ice cream together. Monsa Lisa says” We’ve really gotten to know each other, we’ve gone to great places. We’ve talked about our families. Talked about our feeling. We know each other well. I need to know. Because I still have a crush on you. What do you think? Will you marry me?” Do we add up? “YES!” She is so happy that she sings a brand new song. It’s called: I love a detective.

She was so happy that she exploded into a thousand piglets. George is happy.
