Had no clue what to title this chapter 💀
Lord I cannot wait for the Miyabi rerun, but I want S Billy and Cissia so bad. Might have to use the forbidden technique
Enough yapping here the chapter y'all patrntially waited for!
——————————————-
"Okay now we just wait till it is done cooking and coat it in frosting then bam! You got a simple homemade cake, once the cake done we'll make some chocolate chip cookies. Everyone good with that plan?"
Jason asked turning to look at his group of co chefs. Introducing!
Chomper who face is shoved in the bowl licking up all the after ingredients used to make the cake.
Sunflower who paid attention with an interested look on her face, she is a bit different from some of her sisters. In terms of cosmetics, she wore a monocle. Jason had no clue where she got it or how she wore it.
And last but not least a peashooter who also wore something unlike most of his kin. He wore a simple bow tie. Lately Jason been trying to encourage his plants to get themselves to stand out and look apart.
Not only for himself to distinguish who is who but also for his plants to be unique and express themselves as individuals.
And for Chomper he wore a cute chef hat on his head. All three plants helped him with baking some dessert for their family, of course Jason made sure to bake enough which did exhaust all the items used to make cake like the eggs and flour etc.
Both peashooter and sunflower nodded to Jason question, however Chomper didn't die to being too focused on licking the bowl clean. Jason would've done the same if Chomper didn't beat him to it.
"Now we just need to wait an hour. You guys can go do your own thing okay? Training off for the day, you all earned it from hard work" Jason words earned him an excited cheer from the peashooter and sunflower paying attention to him.
Chomper on the other hand just finished licking the bowl clean. Grabbed the edge of bowl with his teeth and tossed it into the air and opened its mouth wide, ready to consume the bowl whole.
Jason denied Chomper by catching the bowl first before it could land into Chomper open maw. "Hey! What did I say about eating things you shouldn't? That could upset your stomach!"
Chomper sheepish or as sheepish a plant could get looked apologetic an lowered itself to the floor when scolded by the one who planted him.
Letting out a sigh Jason rubbed his eyes and gestured for Chomper and the others to get going with his hand. "Just don't do it again or you won't get any cookies when they are done."
Immediately Chomper scuttled off while Sunflower and Peashooter went their own separate ways, Jason watched them go then put the bowl in the sink. "Since I got some free time…might as well go back to my projects I have going. Been awhile since I checked up on them."
Jason in the past few days decided to use what free time he had, which considerably is alot when he had plants to protect his lawn and no responsibilities besides feeding himself. What he has been getting up to is trying to see if he can create his own plants or variants at least like the flame peashooter.
It would be a huge improvement to his survival chances against the zombies but also a big advantage in getting a head start.
he way across the house, walking passed various day plants that are awake due to it being day currently. At the moment all the Shroom based plants are sleeping in their designated area in the indoor greenhouse meant for them by Crazy Dave several days back.
He also been making plans to try to find where Dave is. His lack of appearances is very unlike him considering he showed up several times in the game. But only once so far, something changed. Since he wasn't put back home after trying to kill zomboss then his purpose here, if he even has one given by another being is not complete. Which Zomboss might still be alive.
Jason greeted each plant he walked passed. Even stopping for a moment to give small showings of affection to a few plants. Like giving a snow pea a brief hug to the little guy from how dejected he looked, even if snow pea was freezing cold. To scratching a wall nut back gently where it itched.
"Guys don't eat that" he said to a group of chompers who chewed on tires and used them as chew toys in their play area. Jason still working on getting them to not eat certain things, it's a work progress.
Briefly on his walk Jason made a detour on the way to his lab or the PPR, short for plant project room. Jason entered the backyard and paused for a moment. He watched some of his day plants continue in exercising and training or over all messing around.
The pea type plants that he had are practicing their aim upon buckets and other targets. So far there been a promising rise in accuracy, few of the peas are doing other things. Such as an ice pea carefully producing its ice peas into a bucket. (Soldier: Dear god)
Which then is collected by a sunflower with a medic helmet on her head, she in turn moved the bucket onto a platform that gets lifted upwards by a pulley system. The bucket then reaches the roof where members of the SAS=Sunflower Artillery specialists gathered bucket and brought it to their set up sling shots.
These group of sunflower as the name entails are an artillery group who seem to take a great delight of removing zombies license of un living. The SAS also practice to get their accuracy as close to 100% as possible to do a good job and simply for the love of zombie destruction.
The SAS team is being led by a specific sunflower that took most….joy from raining doom upon zombies, displaying a grin too human.
So Jason gave her a name sweetie for having such a sweet personality to others, gave her a nice beret with a sun medal on it. Sweetie very much loved her hat so much she produced multiple sun!
Jason turned his head towards the plants playing hockey on the frozen water in the pool. All it took being several ice peas natural cold that is emitted from their body to get the job done.
Which is also why a large group of ice peas cannot be allowed in one area or things will start to freeze into ice.
Both teams comprised mainly of wall nuts, the ice allowed them easier movement surprisingly. They took to moving on ice far easier than just hopping around or rolling on land. Though accidents do happen time to time however no one truly got hurt.
"Agnes! Beldorion! I need my assistants in the lab!" Jason called out in an attempt to gain his two assistants attention. It was hard to find who is who especially when not every plant didn't have something that to identify them apart.
The sound of his voice along with the two names he called out drew the attention of two specific plants that came over to him excited and determined.
One of the plants wore a night cap on their head that covered the leaves on their head. And wore several fuzzy slippers on their roots. This particular plant is Beldorion who is also a repeater and one of the repeaters in term of accuracy. He works very hard not only for Jason but for his brothers and sisters in roots to be the best version of himself. But once work over and it times to clock out? He loves his naps and sleep in general. Especially under the sun.
Next is Agnes who is a sunflower wearing an oversized lab coat around her body, the lower half of the lab coat drags on the floor covering Agnes like a cloak more than a coat. As for the sleeves those too are too long on the small sunflower, it bothered her none. However it instead seemed to bring her great joy to wear it.
Beldorion stopped before Jason and gave a simple wave and stretched tiredly, he was just about to go on his nap for the day. Angnes on the other hand felt down tripping over her lab coat that got caught in her roots and fell flat on her face with a soft thud on the floor.
"Agnes how many times must I caution you to be careful please?" Jason said with a sigh and crouched down to help Agnes back up on her roots. She looked perfectly fine beside that she fell down, she looked more sheepish at the small scolding. She waved a root like waving Jason words off and made a wordless laugh.
Beldorion shook his head like Agnes being Agnes is a common occurrence. Jason rolled his eyes from Agnes antics and turned heading towards his lab. "Come on you two we need to check up on our projects, I have a feeling today will have promising results!"
Agnes and Beldorion nodded eager to see the results of their work and followed after him.
Agnes fell over once more during the trip
-scene changeeeeee-
The lab or project room Jason been using to run experiments in involving the plants ever since crazy Dave upgraded the house. Nothing insane or crazy but simple theories, like splitting up a pair of cherrybombs to see if they'll act like a starfish and replace what is lost.
"Promising results, note that sunlight combined with high grade fertilizer is showing remarkable progress in terms of speeding along the process for cheerybombs to preform mitosis.
Side note, baby cherrybombs still look incredibly mad like their full grown variant. It's fair to assume even at adolescence the cherry bomb at best contains an explosive strength to that of a hand grenade. I do not wish to test this theory and shall just assume until I'm forced to have to deploy a adolescent cherry bomb as a weapon." While Jason spoke out loud Beldorion documents every word Jason said. The hand writing being sloppy and difficult for Beldorion due to not having fingers but leaves and roots for hands, it was the best Jason going to get.
"Agnes hows the progress over there going?" Jason stopped inspecting a cherrybomb pair, one being fully grown and the cherrybomb attached to it being still in the adolescence stage being more light shade of green than the angry red of a mature cherry and the size of a baseball. The young cherrybomb stared grumpy at Jason just like it's fully mature counterpart. It was nothing new the Cherrybombs are always grumpy.
Turning to look over at Agnes, Jason saw his sunflower assistant waving her sleeve at him to come closer. He headed over to her to look at her experiment which is a wall nut getting injected with several doses of chili sauce.
Why Jason have Agnes do this to the wall nut is simple. To see if he can create his own exploding wall nut like the exploding wall nut in the wall nut bowling mini games. The only reasons Jason thought chili sauce would work is only because real world logic doesn't have as much sway in pvz here considering all the goofy things that happen in pvz games and lore.
This test is also to see if Jason could make his own special plants. He knows he is not crazy Dave levels of 'smarts', but he still wanted to try. To prepare for the future just incase. If the wall nut test is successful then he could potentially create variants of the plants he has via 'science' rather than wait for getting a seed packet. Or getting scammed by Crazy Dave with his absurd prices for a damn plant.
He started doing tests recently, of course the wall nut being a will participant in the experiment. "Our wall nut participant seems to be perfectly fine. Still no signs of any changes. Agnes have you been injecting chili sauce just into his hard shell? You haven't been spending days poking him with a needle unable to pierce the tough outer layer and haven't even gotten to his soft inside?"
Agnes pauses briefly as her eyes look left and right then looked at Jason who had his arms crossed waiting for a response. Agnes moved her sleeves together as if she is holding her 'hands' together. Then moved her hands to her head donning a sheepish look with her eyes closed.
(Agnes: ahhhhh eto…bleh!)
There was brief silence as Jason stared at Agnes and breathed in and out softly. He wasn't mad, just a little annoyed is all. The sound of a pencil moving from writing heard from Beldorion writing that broke the silence. He recorded everything in the interaction for further review when they come back to this experiment.
"Okay this is fine, this is okay. Mistakes are welcomed in the pursuit of science allowing one to not do it again and find a new path forward. Alright Agnes the power drill." Agnes turned and passed Jason the power drill while struggling to not drop it due to lack of good grip.
"Alright my boy please don't move okay? I promise it'll be quick" He said to the wall not who could only blink a few times just as Jason brought the power drill close and started drilling into the wall nut.
The wall nut felt nothing besides the vibration from power drill and like Jason said he stopped only after a few moments at best once reaching the soft interior of the wall nut. "Needle" he said to Agnes which she handed to him, then he injected the chili into the wall nut via the hole made. "This idea is so damn stupid it might just work."
He mumbled to himself. Beldorion wrote that down too as he heard it. "Well wall nut thank you for your cooperation and volunteering for this. I will check up on you later so take it easy for now okay?"
Jason gently reached out to rub the wall nut on its head making it close its eyes happily from the affection. Agnes looked at Jason with an expecting smile befitting of a sunflower. Jason of course gave her several head pats.
Beldorion wrote this down too.
BOOM!
The sound of an explosion nearly made Jason jump out of his skin making his heart jump and race. It not only shocked him but also the plants in the room with him. He wasted no time to rush out the room and head towards the closest window to see what happened on his front lawn. Did several potatoe mines go off? A cherry bomb used to take out an surprise zombie wave?
It was the neighbor car that is alight in flames in ruins that greeted Jason when he opened the nearest window facing his lawn. He stared confused only to immediately look upwards with suspicion.
-few minutes ago-
She couldn't take it anymore. The wait is driving her crazy! No zombies so far has shown up to reduce to a stain on the pavement from glorious artillery. No big bad zombies requiring to finally allow her and her sisters to use explosives! She wanted to see FIRE!
She wanted to see zombies reduced to ASH! BATHED IN GLORIOUS FIRE THAT WILL CONSUME THEIR VERY BEINGS.
It is what they deserve after all for wanting to harm her father. The planter she considers family. Sweetie doesn't know where she learned the term father. But she quite liked it, it made her feel nice and fuzzy inside seeing her father happy.
That fuzzy nice warm feeling returns when she gets to launch pea rounds of all kinds. But she really really really really REALLY
Wanted to blow up a zombie. She turned to look at her sisters who are with her on the roof. A simple look conveyed a silent conversation, an understanding. Sweetie sisters too wished to see some carnage upon the VILE enemy.
Not only because of their new found love of violence against the zombies but to use the means gifted to them by their father that allows them to do more than sit back helpless.
Sweetie sisters are in agreement. The grey vehicle that looked like it could only carry one person is to be destroyed to satisfy their cravings.
They at first used it for target practice. Sweetie and her sisters launching pea rounds at the car. Shattering its windows. Breaking its rear view mirror. Popping a tire, but once that grew boring sweetie got an idea.
If any of sweetie sisters had doubts or reservations none expressed it. She grabbed a sleeping cherry bomb that rested in a nearby basket and loaded it into the slightshot.
The cherry bomb awoke with a yawn and its usual displeased face. Only to briefly look surprise when it did not wake up in a basket and found itself moments away from hitting the side of a car door.
Beautiful is the only word sweetie can describe seeing the car be consumed in flames. Exquisite beauty when car parts went flying off the car and ruining the nearby environment like a piece of the car door breaking down a nearby door.
Her sisters watched amazed as she is, then they all gave each other hugs and high fives at an successful launch. Their craving fulfilled but their curiosity only expanded.
What about when a zombie attack arrives that is worthy of explosives? Such a thought brought great eagerness for that day. But for now this is fine.
Sweetie believes that no cherry bomb was wasted in this moment.
"Hey girls, mind tell me why a car infront of the house is on fire?"
Asked the one sweetie considered father. Sweetie sisters decided without her that she should take the fall an shoved her forward infront of the group.
Traitors!
"So it was your idea huh? Got a reason why? Hmmmmm?"
Sweetie could only look sheepish and move two leaves to her head and close her eyes to try to be as adorable she could to avoid punishment.
(Sweetie: ahhhh eto…bleh?)
"Your grounded."
ITS OUTRAGEOUS ITS UNFAIR!
"That goes for all of you."
Ha!
