Luke was silent, before his lips quivered.
"I'm sorry!" he suddenly exclaimed.
"IwasjusttrynhelpmominhergarnanthenididsomethinanthensomethinhappnanthplantgrewanitgotbigandItriedtostopitbuIculdntan-an-an-an..." he blathered on between crying and hiccuping, before Ash put a hand up.
"Luke." he said.
"It's fine." he told him.
"I understand." he went on, before looking at Lillie.
"And yes, I did understand that." he added.

Luke just looked guilty.
"...sorry..." he said quietly.
"Just worry about eating." Ash told them.
"From the looks of things, this goes beyond simple cleaning." he muttered.
"Look, I'll set you guys up at the kitchen table, or some clear space, and you can eat." he said.
"Then I need to make some calls."

Luke just shied away, as Ash sighed.
"Right." he said.
"Your Mom and Dad asked me to check up on you." he told her.
"Make sure things are okay." he said further.
"Oh, and I brought lunch." he then told them.
"Sushi rolls and rice balls from that one place you like so much."
"Right." he said.

"I didn't meeeean to!" Luke exclaimed.
"I'm sorrrreeeee!!" he added.
They then heard the sounds of burning and squelching, before there sounded like an explosion, and they felt a blast of heat outwards.
"There!" the man said.
"Should be burned to the roots." he commented.
"You two can come out of hiding now."

The man then sighed, and looked at the 'head' again.
He brought his fingers to his mouth, and whistled loudly and shrilly. This caused the plant to 'look' at him, and it then charged towards him, mouth open.
The man responded by forming a large ball of what looked to be black fire in his hands, before launching it right into the mouth of the plant, causing it to swallow it.
After a moment, the plant started to writhe about in agony.
"Luke! Lillie! Get away from the plant!" the man shouted.

He was silent as he saw all this happen, and then saw that the closer the vines got to wherever the base was, the browner and more withered it looked.
"Hm." he muttered, looking around.
He then saw a bright pink flytrap-like mouth with sharp teeth at the end of one of the vines.
"Hey!" he called to Lillie.
"Want some help!?" he asked her.

He had heard a lot in the few seconds it took him to unlock the front door and step inside... but he saw a lot of green when he actually stepped inside.
And that green was on long tendril-like thick vines that were spreading out everywhere.
He was silent for a moment, before setting the bags down and making his way to the livingroom...
...where he promptly saw the older sister being flung towards him.
He reacted quickly, and brought his arms up, catching her in the nick of time.
"Hello." he greeted her.

He just sighed as he walked up to the front door, a cloth bag in one hand, a plastic bag in the other.
"All right, should be fine." he said to himself.
"They're old enough." he went on.
"No reason for-" he started to say further, before he heard some rumbling and ruckus from behind the door.
"...eh?" he muttered.
"What's that-" he started to ask, before he heard about 7 windows breaking, and saw a flurry of red petal-like things burst out from the windows in his view.
"....." he was silent, as he heard voices within.
"Lillieeeeeeeeeeee!" a young boy whined loudly.
"....I jinxed it, for the love of..." the man muttered, as he unlocked the front door with the spare keys he had, and made his way inside.

@unicorn: I will laugh so much if I get to do that.
@shamrock shamus: Ahhh, the memories...
@kaderin triste: Goodwill can have some AMAZING finds in old/obsolete formats!

And it's 3 seconds, it seems. Yeah... I wish I was joking.

@unicorn: If I ever have grandkids, I'm gonna scare the bejeezus out of them with this 'ancient' technology.
"And this is a 'Game Boy'. You play video games on it.
"Where's the color, Grandpa?"
"THERE ISN"T ANY! OOooOOOOOoooOOO!"

@queen prisma: And I'm not even using hyperbole here. Pop Tarts literally have microwave instructions. You nuke them for, like, 10 seconds or less. You know, when a minute in the toaster just takes too darn long...

@unicorn: I still have such a collection of CD's, and still have some of those books on tape on cassettes. The ones that always chimed when you were supposed to turn the page.
@schye: They really can be! And Chrono Cross is.... well.... it's not BAD... just really can't hold a candle to Trigger, in my opinion...

@unicorn: Also a possibility. We really won't know for sure until later this year.
@schye: I can admit that... but I really managed to get my clever story fix by being one of those kids that was REALLY into JRPGs. Really can't even begin to guess how many hours I sank into Chrono Trigger...
