PAR
Episode #03 - Dr. Non-Food, the Weird Food Critic
Written by: CS-Masyet
Par: Watching TV.
Man: Hello, I am Dr. Non-Food. Eating food is bad. So do not eat food, ever!
Gulf: Turns off the TV. Don't watch this stuff, Par.
Par: Master, what does it feel like to eat food? Is it bad?
Gulf: No, not at all the time. Some food is good and some food isn't; it depends on the person who eats it. But one thing's for sure, everyone's got to eat.
Par: But I've never eaten, Master...
Gulf: That's because you don't need to eat. You're an android; you get energy in a different way.
Par: Am I able to eat? Can I eat something, Master?
Gulf: Sure you can. Would you like to eat food, Par?
Par: Um... yes, please.
Par/Gulf: Go to the kitchen.
Gulf: What would you like to eat?
Par: Um... I don't know...
Gulf: Would you like a sandwich?
Par: Sand...? Sand is edible?
Gulf: No, no! *giggle* I'll show you. Makes a sandwich and gives it to Par. This is a sandwich.
Par: Sandwich? Can I eat this?
Gulf: Of course you may.
Par: Takes a bite. ...
Gulf: Do you like it?
Par: Finishes the sandwich. Yes, it's good Master!
Gulf: That's good!
Par: Can I eat some other time, Master?
Gulf: Sure, you may. Would you like me to pack you a lunch for school tomorrow, Par?
Par: Okay!
The next day, at Lopan Kindergarten...
Par: Gets his lunch from Gulf. See you later, Master!
Gulf: Have a nice day, Par! Leaves.
Par: Goes inside the school.
Teacher: Good morning, Par!
Par: Good morning, Teacher! Sits at a desk by himself. (I can't wait to eat my lunch!)
Girl: Goes to Par's table with a boy. Hey, why are you here by yourself?
Par: U-um...
Boy: Hey, you're the robot boy, right? Sees his lunchbox. What's that you've got there?
Par: M-my lunch...
Boy: Let me see! Opens his lunchbox. A sandwich? It looks yummy... do you want to trade at lunchtime?
Par: Takes his lunchbox back. Master made this for me...
Boy: Aw, c'mon!
Girl: Leave him alone, Elliot! Stop trying to mooch off his food!
Boy: Fine...
Girl: Your name's Par, right? My name's Larissa. Let's be friends!
Par: Um, okay...
Teacher: Listen up, everyone. Today, we are going to have a special guest speaker today!
Man: Comes in the room.
Teacher: He's a food critic here to tell us about eating healthy! Isn't that right, sir?
Man: Yes. I am Dr. Non-Food, here to teach you the evils of food.
Teacher: *sweatdrop* Um, okay...
Par: (That man was on TV... The guy that Master didn't want me to watch...)
Dr. Non-Food: Pulls out a food chart. There are different kinds of food. Dairy, Protein, Fruit, Vegetable, Grain, and Fat.
Teacher: Oh, interesting! Tell us about the different kinds, Dr.!
Dr. Non-Food: Certainly. Points to Fat. This is the Fat group. Eating from the Fat group will make you fat, so it is BAD!!!
Teacher: I see...
Dr. Non-Food: Points to Protein. This is the Protein group. Eating from the Protein group will give you protein, so it is...
Teacher: ...good, right?
Dr. Non-Food: No, BAD!!!
Teacher: E-eh?!? Bu-...
Dr. Non-Food: Do not question me! Points to Dairy. This is the Dairy group. Eating this will make you... um... dairyfied! Yeah! So it is BAD!!!
Teacher: What are you saying, Dr.?!?
Dr. Non-Food: Fruit will make you fruity, vegetables will make you veggey, and grains will make you grainy, so they're ALL BAD!!! All food is bad! So do not eat food. Ever!
Kids: Huh?
Teacher: That's nonsense! People can't live without food!
Dr. Non-Food: Of course they can! Watch! Spins around releasing powder, causing everyone to fall asleep (excluding himself and Par).
Par: Wipes off the powder on him. What is this? What happened to everybody?
Dr. Non-Food: This is what happens when people eat food! Walks up to Par. But you do not eat food, right? Join me, and we can stop people from eating food!
Par: But I like food...
Dr. Non-Food: *gasp* NO!!! Throws a pie at Par.
Par: ...
Dr. Non-Food: Do you see how evil food is now?
Par: Tastes the pie. This tastes good!
Dr. Non-Food: NO!!! Throws a pizza at Par. Now do you see the evils of food?
Par: Tastes the pizza. This is tasty too!
Dr. Non-Food: NO!!! Throws a chair at Par.
Par: Ahhh! Dodges it.
Dr. Non-Food: Ah-hah! See? Food is evil!
Par: But chairs aren't food...
Dr. Non-Food: Oh... Well, then... um... Yargh! Runs away.
Par: Um...
Everyone wakes up.
Teacher: What happened...?
Larissa: That was a weird dream...
Elliot: Where'd my chair go...?
Class ends and everyone goes home.
Gulf: How was your day today, Par?
Par: That man on TV came to school today and made everyone fall asleep.
Gulf: Was it the same man as before?
Par: No, it was a different man. He kept on throwing food at me and saying food was bad. Then he ran away.
Gulf: So more people are after you... You need to be extra careful now, Par.
Par: I will, Master.
It seems that Par has to deal with another enemy: Dr. Non-Food. Will he pose a threat? And what is Cabalaba up to...?
