Thank You, You're Berry Sweet 
-- A Nunkies Fantasy
by "Lady" Jayne Leitch
==============================

After a long, sweltering day of working at the Strawberry Farm, you
climb into your truck and leave as quickly as possible without breaking
any speed limits.  On your way home, you think about the Evil that is
the strawberry: those seeds. That taste. The way they hide under the
leaves so the customers can complain that there aren't any berries...

You shudder just thinking about it.  Trying desperately to not fall
asleep behind the wheel, you tell yourself that if you ever see another
strawberry in your life, it'll be too soon.

Another few minutes, and you're home.  Exhaustedly, you pull your things
out of the truck and stagger into your (blessedly) air-conditioned
house.  Ignoring the grumbling of your very hungry tummy, you limp to
your bedroom, open the door and see...Nunkies, lounging on your bed,
wearing nothing but whipped cream.

As you stand, dazed, in the doorway, Lacroix picks up a bowl of fruit
and beckons you with one cream-covered finger.  Dropping your things,
you wander over to the bed and look into the bowl.

Raspberries. Blueberries. Peach slices. Cherries.  Not one, single
strawberry to be seen.  "Oh Nunkies, how did you know?"

Lacroix ignores your question, instead handing you a cherry and saying,
"This whipped cream is proving to be rather...chilly. If you could help
me clean it off, I'm sure I could find some way to warm up..."

Not wanting to disappoint Nunkies, you start immediately.

Strawberries are Evil. There is no greater Evil in the world than the
summer strawberry season.
