No answer.

I hit it again.

And then things got crazy.

Metal blinds slammed down to block out the windows.

The lights flickered and turned red.

And the plane veered hard to the right.

“AHHHHH!” yelled Ash as she nearly flew out of her chair. Thebanana juice flask shot off the table and crashed into one of the TV screens. Thescreen switched on. And so did the rest of them. They were all showing onething.

A cartoon of a giant laughing monkey head with a crown on it.

“What the fuck is happening?” asked Ash.

Huh. Plot twist.“I’m pretty sure we’ve just beenkidnapped by the banana king.”

Her eyes got huge. “Please tell me this is all a prank. I don’twant to be kidnapped by the banana king again!”

“Nope. I have no idea what’s happening.”

“But why would he want to kidnap you? You made an alliancewith him and got out of the family business, right? WAIT! I almost forgot. Didyou seriously fake losing all your money? Have you secretly been rich this entiretime?”

“Yup,” I said. “Daddy and I still have billions stashed in banksall around the world.”

“What the hell!? I was so worried about money for so long! Howcould you not tell me?”

“I thought you knew. Excellent acting, by the way. You reallysold it. In fact, I thought about hosting a fake Oscars to give you an award foryour acting. But, you know…we were pretending to be broke. And fake award ceremoniescost a lot of money. Which I totally had. But couldn’t spend.”

“But I didn’t know! And don’t keep saying it! The banana kingcould be listening!”

“You’re the one who brought it up. And anyway, the bananaking knows I’m rich. He was one of the people that agreed to the plan.”

“Right. Well do you think he’s decided he wants a piece ofall that money?”

“I don’t think so,” I said. “Last I heard he was doing prettywell for himself.”

“Then why bother to kidnap us?”

The screen flashed and some words appeared under the cartoonmonkey mask: “You know what I want. You have one hour to give it to me.”

“Fine,” I sighed. “Can you help me out of my wedding dress? Hedefinitely wants to see our boobs.”

Ash came over and loosened the top of my wedding dress enoughfor me to get my boobs free. I jiggled them at the screen.

But nothing happened.

“I bet he wants to see yours too,” I said. “He always didhave a thing for you.”

“I can’t just show the banana king my boobs. I’m married!”

“Would you say you’re amarried girl?” I raised aneyebrow. “And as amarried girl, would showing him your boobs be breakinga certain set of rules?” I stared into her soul, trying to figure out her secret.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Because you have a secret that you’re not telling me! I justknow it. You only get this sweaty when you have a secret.”
