Penny ruins Thanksgiving

In the living room of the Smith house, John Smith was attempting to make a fire with a pair of bellows. His pet Pikachu, Sparkle, entered to remind him.

"That's no way to light a fire!" said Sparkle, "Where's your kindling?"

"This thing's gonna be going anytime now." said John Smith, as Anna, Rapunzel, and Merida entered the living room, as well.

"Even a caveman could start a fire." said Merida.

"D'oh!" John Smith muttered.

Suddenly, John Smith, Sparkle, Anna, Rapunzel, and Merida heard John Smith's wife, Pocahontas, calling from the dining room. "Dinner! Dinnertime, everybody!" she called in a singsong voice, "Dinner!"

Then John Smith stopped lighting a fire with the bellows, put them down, and came into the dining room. "Oh, thank goodness!" he said.

Once everyone was at the table, Pocahontas called to her son, Elroy Jetson, to come into the dining room next. "OK, Elroy!" she said, "We're ready for your centerpiece!"

Then Elroy came into the dining room, holding a three-dimensional centerpiece of a cornucopia, pilgrims, Thanksgiving food, real life turkeys, and Native American Indians. John Smith, Pocahontas, Sparkle, Anna, Rapunzel, and Merida were impressed at Elroy's work of art.

"Elroy, my goodness!" gasped Pocahontas, "That's very impressive!"

"Holy moly!" John Smith exclaimed, "That's the biggest work of art I've ever seen!"

"We always said he was gifted." said Anna.

"Definitely from our side of the family." replied Rapunzel.

"How long did that take you, honey?" Merida asked her nephew.

"I couldn't tell you how many hours, days, weeks, or months," said Elroy. "It was the labor of love towards those I hold dear, especially my girlfriend, Suzy; my parents; my sister, Judy; my dog, Astro; and our friend, Rosie. It's our homage to some American heroes who may not have fought in any wars, but who never...."

It was then that Elroy's sister, Penny, was last to come into the dining room, singing the 1982 fanfare from the MGM/UA Home Video logo. She was holding an enormous roast turkey.

"Speaking of heroes, here's mine: Tom Turkey!" smiled John Smith, holding up a fork and carving knife while chuckling.

"Oh, yikes!" exclaimed Penny in disgust, "What is that?"

"It's the centerpiece, Penny." said Elroy.

"Well, it's taking up so much space!" complained Penny, elbowing Elroy's centerpiece.

"Hey, Penny!" Elroy cried, "Stop it!"

"Move it or lose it, boy!"

"Mom!"

"Now just a minute. I'm sure there's room for both." said Pocahontas.

At that moment, Elroy and Penny got into a tug-of-war with the centerpiece.

"Penny, you're wrecking it; let go!" shouted Elroy, "My girlfriend, my parents, my sister, Astro, Rosie, and I worked forever on this!"

John Smith, Pocahontas, Sparkle, Anna, Rapunzel, and Merida watched the whole conflict between Elroy and Penny without saying a word. And with that, Penny tossed Elroy's centerpiece into the burning fireplace and smiled cruelly at her brother.

Elroy screamed in terror when he saw his creation burn.

"Hey, that got him going!" smirked Sparkle.

"Ditchin'!" exclaimed Penny.

Elroy grabbed a poker and tried to fish the creation out of the fire, but it was burned down to nothing but a complete pile of ashes. That's when Elroy got furious! "PENNY!!!" he shouted. He tackled Penny and started biting her, pulling her hair, and punching her in the face, almost knocking over the stuff on the table. "You don't even care! You don't even care!"

John Smith and Pocahontas broke up the fight by pulling their daughter and son away and restraining them. Then Elroy escaped from Pocahontas, ran to his room in tears, where his girlfriend, Li'l Suzy; his real parents, George and Jane Jetson; his real sister, Judy Jetson; his pet dog, Astro; and their friend, Rosie the Robo-Maid, were waiting for him, and slammed the door.

John Smith angrily put Penny down, and he confronted her. "All right, Penny! That's it!" he shouted angrily, "Go to your room! Now!"

Penny played dumb. "Ok, I'll take some white meat and stuffing to go. And send up the pumpkin pie in about twenty minutes."

"I said now!" snarled John Smith.

"Mommy, do I have to?" asked Penny.

"Yes, you do!" Pocahontas scolded a guilty Penny, "I hope you're happy, Penny! You've ruined Thanksgiving!!"

Penny became very angry. She glared angrily at John Smith and Pocahontas and yelled, "You two are as evil as Madame Medusa!" And she stormed to her own room, where her cat, Rufus, was waiting for her.
