"Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?"
by Di ;)


The unmistakable scent of turkey filled every corner of the station. A bowl of breadcrumbs went unstuffed. The roasting pan sat empty and the sound of the engine back from its run sounded in the bay.

Johnny stood in front of the turkey to hide it, looking to Roy in desperation.

"Don't look at me!" Roy warned. "This is YOUR turkey!"

"Man! I'm hungry!" Cap exclaimed.

"What IS that smell?" Chet walked over to open the side door for air.

"DON'T!" Johnny yelled too late.

They stood in stunned silence as a live turkey ran out the door -- to freedom!
