Chapter 1: The Mysteries Dinner It all started on a night during a good dinner, well… at least so far. Ben moved on to the last thing on his plate, three little peas that are the slightest bit rounder than usual. Ben popped a pea into the air, but right before it fell in his mouth, the pea surprisingly jumped on his nose then back onto his plate, well that’s weird. Ben tried to grab it, instead the pea hopped away and off the table. Ben was about to faint, maybe he was imagining it, so he decided to move on and eat the next pea, but the second one was already gone. He then looked at the last pea, like he expected, it was also gone. Then he saw in the corner of his eye, the third pea was about to jump off the edge of the table. He leaped toward it with his hands reaching out, but he landed on his head and the pea had disappeared. Ben was stunned, but after a few seconds, he ended his dinner and went to bed. It was a nice morning until he opened the refrigerator door. Three little fellows were already waiting for him. Inside the door were the three peas from last night’s dinner, but they were no longer the same. The three peas were now the size of a ping pong ball. They had two little eyes and a huge mouth that he did not notice the previous day. The last thing he expected a pea would do… One pea was eating holes inside some cheese, another bit a hole in the bottom right corner of the gallon of milk and is now drinking extremely fast for a pea. Then the last, who has nibbled half of a strip of bacon. Ben can understand why they each have a big mouth. “Hello, what is your name human?” squeaked pea 1. “What? I didn’t know peas could talk?” Ben said. “Well apparently some can.” pea 1 squeaked an answer. “So what is your name?” asked pea 2, as he took a sip of milk. “Ben,” said Ben. “This stuff is good!” squeaked pea 2. “Can we stay here for a while?” squeaked pea 3. “Sure, but you’ll have to leave tomorrow in the afternoon, though possibly more,” he said. “Peas, did you hear that? He says we can stay.” squeaked pea 3. Three peas finished a cup of milk, a slice of cheese, and two strips of bacon for breakfast. Ben finished a pint of milk, a strip of bacon, and a bowl of cereal, which means Ben will have to go shopping. “Just a friendly reminder. DON’T EAT EVERYTHING!!” Ben said as he headed out the door. After he left the peas, they started to become wild. Pea 3 finished the cheese and pea 1 ate all the tiny potatoes, while pea 2 drank the last pint in the refrigerator and finished a strip of bacon. “Oh, look” said pea 1, “there is another bag of tiny potatoes!” “Hey, I want one” said pea 2 as he wrestled pea 1 for a potato. After all that fighting, pea 3 simply pushed them aside and ate the potato. ”hehe” she giggled, reaching for another. “How about this,” said pea 2 said “no one take each other's potatoes and we’re going to split evenly.” “Sure,” they agreed. Pea 2 started splitting potatoes while mumbling, “You have that, you have that, you have that… you have that……you have th—” “Hey! You skipped mine!” pea 1 said, taking pea 2’s potato. “Hehe, ” pea 3 giggled. They finished the bag of tiny potatoes and took a short break before they continued eating. “There is nothing left in the refrigerator!” said pea 2. “Well we still got a freezer to finish” pea 1 said proudly. “So…” said pea 2. “Then what are we waiting for!” pea 1 said “let's EAT!”
