Work Text:
On a beautiful afternoon, in the month of December, Christmas arrived soon, Bob was counting his cans of beans left. He was looking through his cabinets and only 9 were left; no worry he said.
Lucky, he has an emergency reserve in the safe. Bob goes to his old garage, opens the light, and sees his beautiful old weiner car. Bob heads towards his safe, enters the code, and opens the safe.
- There were only 10 cans left in the safe, and 9 cans in the cabinets. So, 9… plus… 10, OH GOD! THERE'S ONLY 21 CANS LEFT!
Bob yelled, he realized that’s only half a day's worth of beans. Scared, he searched the entire house, looking for his precious beans, the only food he could find was some apples, pizza, and vegetables, but no beans. Horrified that his nightmares were finally becoming true, he sprints to his old trusty weiner car and speeds through the woods. Once there, at the market, a paper was taped at the entrance.
‘’closed for Christmas’’.
- HO no!
Horrified Bob jumps in his car, starts it, but nothing happens.
- NO no no no NO!
The car broke down, there was no one around since it’s in the middle of the woods, he could only walk back home.
- No beans, the car broke down, it's cold, it's dark outside, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?
Desperate Bob keeps walking home.
After hours of walking, he finally arrives. It's now ten in the afternoon. He hasn’t eaten in hours and hasn't accomplished anything yet, in fact, made everything worse.
Bob opens his last cans and keeps one for tomorrow, he might have a solution.
The next day Bob wakes up desperate, knowing Christmas is in two days and he only has one can of baked beans left, but he can’t even eat it.
Bob takes the last can of beans, takes his old trusty shovel, and goes outside.
After digging the snow and finally reaching the frozen grass, he kept digging. He opens his last can, drops a couple of beans in the hole, and eats the rest.
After putting the dirt back in the hole, Bob goes inside with a starving stomach, he goes back to sleep since there is nothing else to do.
The next day, Bob wakes up, hoping to see a magic bean tree, he puts his suit on, and heads outside, goes around his house and sees that nothing happens.
- F***, HO NO, NO, NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
Laying in the snow not knowing what to do, Bob suddenly gets an idea. His annoying neighbor, half a mile away, might have some cans.
Bob gets up and starts sprinting to Jeff’s house.
Once arrived, Bob knocks on his door. After a couple of seconds, Jeff opens the door:
- mi name Jeff…
- YES, can I enter? Bob asks.
- Of course!
Once in the house, Bob needs to do what he hates the most, speak to Jeff:
- So how are you doing, my old friend Jeff?
- Good! What brings you here?
- Nothing much, I just wanted to wish you a nice Christmas eve! Bob says.
- Thanks! Do you want a drink?
- Of course! May I also use the bathroom?
- I don’t know why you couldn’t.
Finally, Bob got out of this annoying discussion, Bob heads to the bathroom, and in the corner of his eye, he sees it. A TOWER OF BEANS…
Bob skips the bathroom and sprints to the tower. By pure luck, the tower was placed on a carpet.
Bob grabs the carpet and runs out of Jeff's house.
Once Jeff realized, he got in his boots and sprinted outside.
In this incredible chase, Jeff is yelling for his life.
MI NAME JEFF, GIVE ME MY BEANS!
Bob runs for his life, but suddenly, he trips…
- OH NO…
Enraged, Jeff arrives and takes back his beans:
- MI NAME JEFF, DON’T EVER TAKE MY BEANS.
Bob, desperate, gets back up and runs away with nothing in his hands.
- My last hope is gone…
It's Christmas eve and I have nothing, not even MI daily beans.
Bob heads back to the market to try to fix his car since he’s quite close.
Once there, Bob tries to start the car… again the car isn’t starting.
Bob gets out, goes to the front, opens the trunk, and looks for the problem.
- WHY DID THIS CAR BROKE IN THE WORST TIME!
Bob unlocks the back of his weiner car and opens the trunk to get some tools…
- No, NO NOO
Bob sees, a pile of Heinz beans:
- WHAT?!?
- OH MY GOD, I FORGOT!
Bob figured out he always had his beans, but never took them out of the car, he knew that the store would be closed at Christmas, he was ready for that. But I forgot everything.
Even with all these beans, the car is still broken.
Some old tool where in the luggage compartment, bob takes a can of beans, eats it to get some energy and get to work.
- Oh my god…
The only reason why his car was not working, was an old rusted can of beans that was blocking the belt of the engine. Bob takes the can out, closes the truck, stores the tools, and closes the luggage compartment. He starts the car… and finally it starts.
- HELL YEAH!
Finally back home Bob has all the beans he ever wanted for Christmas, and the only thing he lost was his annoying neighbor’s trust.
