Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli\u2014along 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. Arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it\u2019s not exactly what they expected\u2026 in the sense that it\u2019s terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Due to unforeseen circumstances, Banani and Ravioli decide to sleep on the floor in Papaia\u2019s room. But Papaia soon discovers that, while he was asleep, his two guests secretly used his personal belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in Papaia\u2019s Room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Banani and Ravioli call out to Papaia from the hallway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Papaia, hurry up! What are you still doing in there?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Come on, Papaia! Don\u2019t forget about the receptionist!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia’s eyes light up with revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in the Hotel Staircase<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Finally, Papaia! You took an eternity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Sorry, I was tidying up the room. You never know\u2026 When you’re in a hurry, you can\u2019t always complete your morning routine properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: That\u2019s true! I couldn\u2019t finish mine either. Good thing I brushed my teeth last night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: That receptionist rushed us out so quickly\u2014without even breakfast! But at least I had a nice snack last night!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia (to the audience): Did you hear that? Ravioli brushed his teeth with my toothbrush,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026and Banani had a nice snack\u2014with my cookies!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 But let\u2019s keep it a secret\u2026 the best part is yet to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Hey, guys, did you find the discount voucher for the caf\u00e9 in your room?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Discount voucher? Really?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: You found a discount voucher?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Yeah, didn\u2019t you see it under the vase on the table? There should be one in your rooms too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: A discount voucher? Let\u2019s go check, Banani.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two rush back to their rooms to search for the so-called discount voucher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Now\u2019s my chance!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few minutes later, Ravioli and Banani return to the hallway in front of Papaia\u2019s room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: I didn\u2019t find anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Me neither.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: That\u2019s strange. But no worries, we\u2019ll just share mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Hey! Where\u2019s my backpack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: And my kit? I left it right here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia smirks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: I didn\u2019t see you bring them. Maybe you left them in your rooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Impossible, it was the first thing I grabbed this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: My backpack? I thought I took it! Let me go back and check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani and Ravioli rush back to search for their belongings, but with no success. A few minutes later, they return to Papaia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Oh no! Could it be that the clerk stole them last night?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: That clerk! It must have been him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Are you sure you didn\u2019t leave them in my room?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: You\u2019re right! Let\u2019s go check!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They search Papaia\u2019s room, but find nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Oh no! What will I do without my kit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: My backpack! It had all my important stuff in it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Look, that door is open!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia points to a slightly ajar door. Ravioli and Banani enter the room and find their belongings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Look, there\u2019s a note\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: What does it say?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani (reading):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My dear friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Next time you go through my things, remember: I know exactly how to settle the score.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Congratulations on the treasure hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Signed: A less patient Papaia.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli (pointing at their belongings): Papaia! You hid them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: What a mean prank!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Mean? Not as much as my missing secret cookies\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Okay, okay, we\u2019re sorry!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: You shouldn\u2019t have done that! We turned pale with fear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Not as pale as my teeth this morning\u2026 after you used up all my toothpaste and mouthwash!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: You\u2019re right. We won\u2019t do it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With their differences settled, the three scientists are finally ready to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: The readers loved this little prank war. So\u2026 what\u2019s the next trick we\u2019ll play on Papaia? Hiding his brain? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh wait, that wouldn\u2019t be a prank\u2026 just an improvement attempt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
