The next day, Pinkie Pie, Mikey, and Walter Wilde were at a table at Kosmo’s Diner with the rest of the group, talking about their big victory at Karn.
"And remember the time when Troy was knocked into the wall?" Mikey asked in excitement.
"It was a barrel of laughs, dawg!" Walter Wilde replied.
"You better believe it was!" Pinkie commented. "I liked when you kicked that one Care-Bot into his face." Just then, there was an explosion in the kitchen, and Kosmo the chef was flung into the wall.
"Having kitchen problems again, Kosmo?" XR asked.
"How did you guess?" Kosmo asked. "It's like a bomb factory in there. I need a miracle to get over this one."
"Hey Kosmo, why not have Pinkie Pie help you around the kitchen?" Buzz asked.
"You cook?" Kosmo asked in doubt, causing those who know Pinkie Pie well to start chuckling.
"Kosmo, baby, I can cook anything." Pinkie Pie answered in confidence.
"Then head into kitchen and prove it." Kosmo ordered. "I want you to make me a super deluxe Kosmo Burger with all the works."
"No problem." Pinkie Pie said before rushing into the kitchen and one Kosmo Burger with all the works for everyone, much to the awe of the group and the suprise of Kosmo. "Hope you enjoy eating your word."
"This girl is going to be fun." Kosmo said to himself before turning to the waitress. "SALLY, START GETTING ORDERS! WE GOT OURSELVES A CULINARY SUPERSTAR!" Soon, Pinkie was fixing meals like lightning for people. Infact, she was going so fast, that it was hard for Sally to keep up with them, which is why Pinkie asked Mikey and Walter help her serve food. The three of them worked faster than anyone who over worked in a resturaunt before. Then, one customer walked in giving a chilling vibe to the whole room. The guy looked like he was drawn in the 1930's with long stretchy limbs, formal attire, and a looney tooney smile.
"Hey, bro." Mikey said before taking out a pencil and notepad. "What can we get you today?"
"Oh, it's not what you can get me, but rather what I can give you guys." The customer said. "The name's Squash N. Stretch, galactic food inspection."
"I hear ya, and you wanna try the grub here to see if it's accurate, right?" Mikey asked.
"Bingo." Squash said. “I’d like to try one of everything you have on the menu to see of it is as good as everyone says it is.”
“You got it, bro!” Mikey said before racing off to the kitchen. And so, Squash N. Stretch began to eat everything on the menu, unaware that Team Lightyear is watching him very carefully. First he tried the appetizers, like Saturn’s onion rings, Moon Cheese Sticks, and Cosmic Kabobs. Then he tried many meals, like Celestial Salad, Jupiter Sandwiches, and Galactic Soup. Finally, it came time for the desserts, like Milky Way Milkshakes, Moon Beam Ice Cream, and Star Dust Cake. All the while, our heroes were studying him, watching his every movement.
"Oy Buzz, you weren't kidding." Cosmos said in suprise."This girl cooks as fast as star cruiser."
"Yeah, but there's something about that Squash N. Stretch guy that seems off." Buzz said in suspicious.
“I feel you may right.” Pinkie whispered to Buzz with a wink. “But we’ll find out soon.” And as she moves as great speed, Squash pushes a gem on his suit, which starts glowing slowly. It was then that XR started acting off.
“I’m a little teapot, Short and stout.” He said in a chipmunk voice. “Here is my handle, Here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, Hear me shout: Tip me over And pour me out!” He then crashes into Squash, causing both of them to fall onto the floor. In the prossess, Squash drops a Zurg communicator. XR regains control and sees the communicator. "Hey, this guys a Zurg agent!"
"Drat, my cover's blown, time to dissapear." Squash said before pulling out a smoke bomb and using it to fill the room with smoke. Our heroes stand ready to fight, but can’t see Squash at all. Mira was the first to be neutralized by ropes and a gag. Eventually, he was able to neutralize all but 3 of them. “Now where are those three wildcards.” He was then hit from behind by a pie.
“We’re over here!” Pinkie said out loud. Squash then snuck up on her only to grab a cut out with a speaker taped onto the back of it.
“What the…” Squash asked in confusion before being hit by a hot dog and hearing Mikey’s voice this time.
“Yoo-hoo!” He said. Squash then snuck up on Mikey only to grab another cut out with a speaker taped onto the back of it.
“I’m getting tired of these games, kids.” Squash said in irritation before getting hit by a hamburger and hearing Walter’s voice.
“I’m over here behind the counter.” He said. This time, Squash raced to Walter only to fall into a sticky net on the floor landing on yet another speaker. As the smoke cleared, our heroes looked in astonishment at the trio’s handiwork.
“Whoa!” Leo said in amazement. “You guys are, geniuses?”
“Thanks!” Pinkie said. “When my Pinkie sense told me this guy was not who he claims to be, Mikey and Walter agreed to help me bag this guy.”
“And indeed you did.” Said a voice coming from a man in a fancy suit with squid-like tentacles, arms like a crab, one eye like a plankton, holes like a sponge and a pointed head like a starfish. “And as a real health inspector, I’m willing to accept this as part of the inspection, and since that imposter enjoyed the food, I think that he did my job all to well. It is my honor as the real health inspector, to give this diner a passing grade.” He then put an A+ sign on the door. “Anyone that can defend their restaurant to bravely from villainy is worth paying.” And as Squash N. Stretch was carried off to jail everyone cheered and had a big feast on the house, unaware that he was smiling a crooked smile with the gem he had fully charged and ready for use.
