Bloom and Doom (OLD)
Front Yard - Day 7: Chill Out
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Guys, can you believe it?"
Peashooter was hopping around the house, and was very excited.
"What's got into him?" asked Single Cherry.
"Apparently, he got a letter from his sister that she's returning home from Antarctica right now," said Sunflower.
"Can't really blame him," shrugged Twilight, "It's his sister that's returning! He might have not seen her for a long time!"
Just then, the doorbell rang. Peashooter opened the door and saw Snow Pea, who looked like him, but blue, cold and female. She even had ice crystals growing on her back!
"Snow Pea!" said Peashooter, hugging his sister, "I missed you! You're looking just as cool as ever!"
"Give the ice puns a break, will you?" said Snow Pea, who rolled her eyes, "But yeah, I missed you too."
"What did you do in Antarctica?" asked Peashooter.
"I helped stop a bunch of zombies there," said Snow Pea, "I was hailed a hero there, and when I left, everypony there said their goodbyes and farewells."
"Sounds like quite the adventure," said Wall-nut. He, Twilight, Dave and the other plants overheard the chat the two peashooters were having.
"Who are you?" asked Snow Pea to Twilight. "I've never seen you before."
"The name's Twilight Sparkle," said the purple unicorn.
"Um, plants?" said Dave. "I hate to interrupt, but the zombies are coming!"
The plants and Twilight raced out onto the lawn, which now had three lanes, and positioned themselves on where they felt most comfortable attacking.
"Alright, my zombies," said Dr. Zomboss, "You are all going to attack the plants again."
"I have one question," said Purple. "Where's Conehead?"
"Sorry I'm late," said Conehead, who just walked into the lab. "But I found this zombie wandering around here." Just then, a zombie with a grass skirt and a grass crown walked up. Apart from those, he was wearing nothing else.
"Hi!" shouted the new zombie. "My name's Grass Skirt Zombie, but you can just call me Grassy for short! I can camouflage into the grass so that the plants don't see me!"
"That name is stupid!" shouted Dr. Zomboss. "You stole that from jacknjellify's Battle for BFD-"
"Shut up!" yelled Grassy. "I like that name! And stop breaking the fourth wall!"
Zomboss knew he couldn't win this one. "Just go attack already."
Untote was the first zombie to come. Unsurprisingly, he was met by peas and magic beams. Then Caleb came next.
"Time to chill things out!" shouted Snow Pea, and she shot a frozen pea at Caleb.
"What's happening?" moaned Caleb slowly. "Why am I so slow all of a sudden?" Just then he stepped on something.
"Hello!" came the voice of Potato Mine. Caleb looked down. "Oh, just my luc-"
SPUDOW!
"My turn, my turn!" said Sprinty as he ran and was pelted with cabbages. He was about to jump over Single Cherry, when a cabbage hit his head and snapped it off. The now-headless zombie fell onto the ground.
"A HUGE WAVE OF ZOMBIES IS APPROACHING!"
Nurp, Boot, Elmore, Crazy, and Conehead began marching towards the plants. However, Cherry Bomb was ready.
"Let's explodonate."
And they threw themselves into the five zombies...
CHA-BOOF!
What used to be five zombies was now a pile of ash. Just then Vaulty came running as Grassy tried to camouflage himself and sneak through the plants.
"You do realize we're not dumb, right?" said Twin Sunflower's right head, who saw Grassy's attempts to camouflage himself.
"Uh-" the zombie was immediately disintegrated by a sun laser from the mouth of Twin Sunflower's right head.
Vaulty had jumped over Single Cherry, but then he was frozen by Snow Pea's peas.
"Take this!" yelled Snow Pea as she shot some more frozen peas. "And take that!"
"Must... not... give... up..." struggled Vaulty, as he was becoming more and more slower, but at last he couldn't take it anymore, "I GIVE UP!" he yelled as he fell to the ground in defeat.
"ANOTHER HUGE WAVE OF ZOMBIES IS APPROACHING! FINAL WAVE!"
Purple, Armless, Watterson, and Basic came as the final wave. Since Cherry Bomb was still recharging, the plants had to take down the four zombies without any explosives. Even when Potato Mine was replanted, he was only able to take out Purple.
"Come here, bite me!" said Single Cherry. Watterson and Basic decided to go and eat through him, unaware that it was a trap.
As Armless died from the excess amounts of peas and magic beams he was hit by, Watterson and Basic were taking care of Single Cherry, but Single Cherry smirked to himself when the zombies weren't looking. "They fell for it!" he thought to himself.
CHA-BOOF!
The two zombies had now become a pile of ash. Had they been smarter, they might have gotten the brains.
"Hey, look!" shouted Twilight. "A seed packet!"
She planted the seed packet and poured water on it. All of a sudden, a purple stem with green leaves at the bottom popped up, then a head sprouted from the neck! The head looked like a venus flytrap, and like the stem, the head was purple, and around the neck were some leaves. The new plant even had spikes on top of it!
"Hello, I'm Chomper!" said the new plant, "I specialize in eating zombies! I just sneak behind them and eat them up!"
Twilight was weirded out by what Chomper had just said. She had heard of eating dead animals, but eating a live zombie? "Doesn't that sound disgusting?" she asked.
"Nope! They taste delicious!"
"Um, okay?" said the unicorn, who still found it weird to eat something as disgusting as live zombies.
"Hey," said Dave, who just walked out of the house, "I've seen many Chompers before in my life, but how come you have eyes unlike the other ones I've seen?"
"Mutation!" shouted Chomper.
"Oh, okay then," said Dave.
Iceberg Lettuce knew she had to be careful. She had to be quiet, otherwise Winter Lotus would find out what she was doing.
She snuck into Winter Lotus' room, which the earth pony has left open by mistake when she was going out to clean the store, as it had dust all over some places.
Iceberg had just entered, when she saw a horrifying sight.
Dead plants were everywhere!
Iceberg saw several dead rotting remains of some plants, including a burnt tree stump, a blue mushroom with ice crystals on it, a pea pod, some kelp, the cracked remains of a red walnut, and she even saw what was left of Scaredy-shroom sitting in a mug.
Iceberg then saw a paper taped onto a wall. The paper said:
To-kill list:
- ~~Cabbage-pult~~
- Iceberg Lettuce
- Gold Magnet
- Bonk Choy
- Cattail
- Threepeater
- Blover
- Doom-shroom
- Small Pepper
- Cactus
- Starfruit
- Lightning Reed
- Hypno-shroom
- Scaredy-shroom ✓
- Ice-shroom ✓
- Grave Buster ✓
- Tangle Kelp ✓
- Spikeweed ✓
- Spikerock ✓
- Plantern ✓
- Torchwood ✓
- Pea Pod ✓
- Sea-shroom ✓
- Explode-O-Nut✓
- Power Lily ✓
P.S. - If you're reading this, you're going to die next.
P.S. 2 - All these cowardly plants are useless to the world and I'm only selling them in hopes that their new owner will find them useless and throw them away.
Iceberg Lettuce was shocked. This was Winter Lotus' intention all along?! To have all of plantkind killed?! She definitely needed to warn the other plants now.
Using a stool to make it easier for her to reach, she slowly ripped the tape off the wall. She grabbed the paper, went back onto the floor, and quietly went out of the door.
It was lucky that Iceberg had just left the scene, because Winter Lotus showed up. She was done cleaning up the store and went back into her room to formulate the next plant she was going to kill. But as soon as she entered, she noticed her "To-kill list" was gone!
Somewhere at the zombie headquarters, Zomboss was drawing some plans for an experiment he would use for the ultimate battle, when he swore he heard an angry scream. He ignored it and continued writing the plan down on the paper.
"I just need to steal the DNA of that Peashooter and his sister," said the zombie boss quietly to himself, "and then I mix them with a zombie's DNA, and we'll have a plant-zombie hybrid!"
Winter Lotus was furious. So furious, you couldn't even describe how furious she was.
"Whoever stole my list, shall be the next one to die! Nobody exposes my plans and gets away with it! Whoever did this shall be punished! You hear me?! Punished!"
“I had no idea that party was so important to her. I've been a terrible friend...”
Twilight went out of the house. It was night time outside, but that didn't stop the unicorn from singing.
"I have to find a way, to make this all okay."
"I can't believe this small mistake, could've caused so much heartache..."
"Oh why, oh why?"
"Losing promise, I don't know what to do."
"Seeking answers, I fear I won't get through to you..."
"Oh why, oh why?"
"Oh, Moondancer... What have I done?"
Author's Note
Yes, Snow Pea is a female in my headcanon. Don't judge me!
Also, if you're wondering who Grass Skirt Zombie is, he is a fan-made zombie that somehow got a plush toy of him. He is from the fake PvZ 2 leaks.

Chomper having eyes in this series is a reference to his plush toy, which has eyes, despite him not having eyes in the game.
