Ravioli and the Fish Nightmare

Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli—along with their assistant Igor, are supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference. However, they board the wrong flight and end up on the other side of the world. Upon arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it’s not quite what they expected… meaning, it’s awful.

Banani and Ravioli, due to unforeseen circumstances, decide to sleep on the floor in Papaia’s room.

We are in Papaia’s room.

Ravioli wakes up with a start.

This time, he finds himself in his childhood bedroom.

Ravioli: Where am I?

He looks around.

Ravioli: Oh, my bedroom… Phew, it was just a dream!

He sees the alarm clock on the table.

Ravioli: What? It’s already eight o’clock? I’m late! I have to go to school!

He spots his old, worn-out backpack on the chair next to the bed.

Ravioli: My backpack! There it is… I have to hurry!

He puts on the backpack.

Ravioli: Ugh, why is it so heavy? What’s inside?

He takes off the backpack and places it on the ground. It lands with a heavy, squishy thud.

Ravioli: What a weird sound… That’s not the sound of books!

He puts the backpack on again and leaves the room. The door now opens directly into the school hallway.

Ravioli: The hallway is empty! Where is everyone?

The lights suddenly go out. From the far end of the hallway, a strange sound of footsteps begins.

Ravioli: What’s going on? What is that sound?

The footsteps grow closer, but it’s too dark to see anything.

Ravioli: It sounds just like the noise my backpack made earlier…

Suddenly, a deep voice whispers: “You have to eat me!”

Ravioli spins around. Behind him is a face—not human, but fish… boiled fish.

Fish: Ravioli, you have to eat me!

🤣🤣🤣

On top of the fish’s head, there are some broccoli.

🤣🤣🤣

Ravioli: No! Gross! You’re the fish with broccoli!

🤣🤣🤣

Ravioli starts running, and the fish slowly chases after him, making loud slapping noises with its fins as it uses them like feet to move.

Ravioli: Leave me alone!

As he runs, children appear at the classroom doors, staring at him with evil eyes.

Ravioli: Oh no! The bullies! They found me!

One of the bullies steps in front of Ravioli, blocking his path.

Bully: Ravioli, the boiled fish! Here you are! Now let’s see what you have in your backpack.

Ravioli: No! Let me go! I’m trying to escape!

Ravioli realizes that a second bully behind him has taken his backpack without him noticing.

Bully 2: Ha ha ha! Here it is… the stinky backpack! Now we’re going to open it… right here in front of everyone!

The bully opens the backpack and dumps its contents onto the floor. Out spill kilos and kilos of boiled fish and rotten broccoli,

🤣🤣🤣

… which must have been in there for who knows how long! 

🤣🤣🤣

…Everyone starts laughing. Suddenly, Ravioli’s mother appears in front of him.

Mom: Raviolino! How could you lie to me?

Bully: Ravioli with Gorgonzola, the liar!

🤣🤣🤣

Bully 2: You lied to everyone! But now, we’ll make you eat all the fish you’ve been hiding in your backpack!

Meanwhile, the gigantic boiled fish arrives.

Fish: Ravioli! Stop hiding me! 

🤣🤣🤣

…You have to eat me!

🤣🤣🤣

Ravioli wakes up with a scream: “Noooo!”

Just as Ravioli is about to tell Igor about his dream, Igor comments:

“Let me guess… You dreamed about the Sunflower Hotel menu again?”

🤣🤣🤣
