The thick, cotton cloak covered him fully from head to ankles, ending just above his moss-green, hairy feet. He watered them every week, spraying carefully to protect his pale-blue cloak. Inside each red fruit were dozens of tiny, shimmery, ruby pods, bursting with tart, sweet juice. For hundreds of years Pest’s family had grown the most delicious pomegranates in the land. His pomegranate grove stretched from the rippling creek to the humpback hills. “Elliott’s a sugar wizard,” everyone said. He formed grizzly bears and baseball gloves, galaxies and tadpoles - all from sugar pulled or blown or shaped. On regular days, Meanie made sugar treats for the villagers’ birthdays and anniversaries and as prizes for athletic competitions. “Can’t you give us a hint?” But he never did. “What will you invent this year?” they’d ask Meanie all year long. Then at sunset he’d break his creation into pieces to give everyone a taste. On Extravaganza day, everyone would gape in amazement at Meanie’s beautiful work. They believed this because every year Meanie designed a new sugar sculpture for the Annual Dessert Extravaganza. “He can make anything,” the villagers claimed. Meanie had practiced his sugar artistry since childhood. It melted like springtime in their cone-shaped mouths. It smelled irresistible to their small square noses. The sugar felt satiny smooth on their moss-green fingertips. He could add food coloring to the liquids or paint color on the finished shapes.Įveryone in the village loved Meanie’s confections. If he mixed the sugar with corn syrup, he could stretch the mixture into long ribbons or twist it into jungle gyms or blow it into hummingbirds with his cone-shaped mouth. If he mixed the liquid sugar with gelatin, he could wrap his moss-green hands around the paste and shape it into log cabins or platypuses or children. To build his castles and carousels and gardens, Meanie cooked sugar in a pot. Sometimes Meanie made sugar gardens blooming with luminous sugar fruits and flowers and leafy sugar trees, and sugar ponds filled with sugar fish. If his bulbous head or bushy beard hit a swan, he had to set it up again with his three-fingered hands. Meanie had to stand tip-toe on his hairy, moss-green feet to position a music box. The carousels were as big as the castles. Meanie also built sugar carousels, with parasol sugar roofs and dancing sugar swans and real music boxes in the middle. Sugar knights galloped on sugar drawbridges toward sugar gates. Each castle stood high as the lantern hanging from the bakery ceiling. Each castle totally covered the wooden baking table in Meanie’s bakery, Dulcet Dreams. Every castle needs defenses, don’t you think?” On his way out, Pest pointed at a large table. He handed Pest the bag and a half-blong coin. “So I owe you half a blong for the pomegranates,” he said. Meanie wrapped tissue paper around Pest’s dinner and dropped it into a bag. Give me three seashells, two penguins, and a drum.” I mean, shouldn't Cassidy be remotely concerned that there's another murderer within the very same building? Where are all these masks and costumes coming from? I have so many questions.“Let’s see. Not to be judgmental or anything, but the Green Meanie murders don't exactly seem like a model coordinated effort. Pretty soon, the Chanels will be longing for the simpler days at Wallace University when they were being stalked by Red Devils who at least were on the same page and had similar motives. So, when Scream Queens returns next week, there will be not one but three Green Meanies inside the C.U.R.E. And, to make things even more confusing, he eagerly handed over an additional mask to Ingrid (Kirstie Alley). Cassidy, who has been unmasked as one of the season's villains, doesn't know the identity of the other person who's roaming the halls of C.U.R.E. 22 episode "Blood Drive" we found out that (you guessed it!), there are two Green Meanies on Scream Queens. Remember when we were all stunned to learn there were two Red Devils on Season 1 of Scream Queens? Well, it looks like history is repeating itself at the C.U.R.E.
