BAMMMM!!!

The launcher was triggered and the ‘copter burst upwards. Strawberries went everywhere. One hit the camera lens head on. Some splattered against the kitchen walls. Some were sliced to bits by the whirling rotor blades. They pummelled into Matt’s football kit, leaving massive red blotches on his shorts and socks and shirt. But most of the strawberries hit the ceiling, where they stuck, like squashed supernovas.

The hydro-copter was ricocheting around the kitchen, completely out of control, bouncing off the walls, knocking plants on to the floor and occasionally trying to decapitate us. At last it plunged into the sink, where it turned the washing-up water into an instant froth of shredded dishcloth and minced geraniums.

The strawberries on the ceiling slowly unstuck themselves and rained down on us, the table, the floor, the washing – each one making a gentle ‘splop’ as it landed.

I glanced across at Cat. She appeared to be in deep shock, rocking on her feet and dripping strawberry juice. She looked as if she’d just been pulled straight out of a jam pot. All I could see were the whites of her eyes, staring at me.

I grabbed a couple of tea towels and threw one across to Gat. ‘Quick, clean up! Mum’s going to kill me.’

She still didn’t move, but I didn’t have time to see what was up. The entire kitchen needed my emergency attention.

I cleaned and wiped and mopped until I thought my arms would fall off. I shoved Matt’s football kit into the washing machine and stuffed in all the dirty tea towels. By this time Gat was beginning to stir, so while that lot was washing we tidied up the rest of the place as best we could. I discovered most of Krazy Kow spreadeagled against the kitchen window. She’d been blown apart by the explosion. Her head was under the fridge. One leg was on the stove. Her udder was draped over a potted plant like some exotic bloom. I gathered up the bits and put them in a bag.
