The young new kid on the block smiled. It leaned in closer— ready to whisper sweet nothins to thee fresh dough.

“Where’ve you been all my life? You don’t mind if I cut to the chase do ya? Hey- there’s no need to try to fold up, and be shy. Just you wait~ a few more days from now I’ll be much more ready, and tougher, too. I need the bacteria to do its thing. Then I’ll be older from that point. The farmer just finished collecting me from one of his prized female calves.”

The fresh dough blinked in a daze. Her eyes were focused on the sight of the nice, healthy, dark red tomato.

“Eh…What did you say, young Cheeseling?”

The block of cheese sighed. Why was that Mr. Tomato such a big hot shot more than Sir Peri-Peri! The ladies needed to take him seriously, and he also liked being the new young face of the block.

He was not getting any younger, and the thought of finding a lovely match later in his old age at this time made him nervous. By the time he’d be a senior citizen, his hearing would be close to almost naught. Even his sight. He would much rather chat with his beloved while he could still recall what to say in response to her questions, as well as remember what she asked him.

While the fresh young cheese kept pondering about his predicament, he did not notice that a light came on. Something had reached for the smooth Mr. Tomato sauce, his screams echoed from the other side/place he had been taken.

The rest of the gang were as quiet as mice. Even Ms. Cha not cracking any random jokes like one of her favorites: “What does our fearless Chuck Norris Noodles do for a living? He works as an impasta!”

Then the ladies all suddenly burst into tears. Young cheese smiked. Now was his change be the one to comfort the ladies as they all weeped for Mr. T.
