The attack of the Bananas!

"HELP! THE BANANAS ARE COMING!" This was the cry that was dreaded by everyone- here, there and everywhere. Ever since bananas were outlawed, Lord Banan of the Bananas had taken control of the yellow fruit. Hordes of bananas poured themselves into every city, soon overwhelming the local population. Is the the end of the world as we know it? And how did this happen, anyway?

THREE WEEKS EARLIER:

It was a sunny July morning as Cody zoomed down the road on his skateboard. He had somewhere to be, and fast. When his parents bought the greengrocer shop from some weird Asian couple, he had been dreaming of a quiet house, and bowls filled with fruit. Certainly not summer holidays spent slaving away behind a cash register. He made his way down the main street of his slow, lonely town, skating past the hair salon and the comic store.

"CODY!" It was his mum, dressed in a dark green apron with her hair in a messy bun. "WHERE have you been?! We were open an hour ago, do you know just how many people came in that time, definitely too many for your father and I, especially with the large delivery of green bananas that we didn't even order!" Blocking out the sound of his mum's voice, Cody edged inside the shop.

"Hey, look, I'm sorry, but the shouting is scaring away customers," Cody said. Not that he minded, of course. He made his way behind the counter and tied on the apron draped over a chair. I can do this, he thought. Just two more weeks and I'll be back at school with so much "homework" that they won't bother me. An old lady approached the counter with a bag full of cabbage. He sighed. This was going to be a looooooong week.
