but dad said the recipe was so secret he couldn't even tell me I decided it must be magic I begged him to tell me something anything I will tell you this he said enemy pie is the fastest no way to get rid of enemies now of course this got my mind working what kinds of things disgusting things what I put into a pie for an enemy I brought dad some weeds from the garden but he just shook his head I brought him earthworms and rocks but he didn't think he'd need those I gave him the gun I've been chewing all morning he gave it right back to me I went out to play alone I shot baskets until the ball got stuck on the roof I threw a boomerang that never came back to me and all the while I listen to the sounds of my dad chopping and stirring and blending the ingredients of enemy pie this could be a great summer after all enemy pie was going to be awful I tried to imagine how horrible it must smell or worse yet what it would look like but when I was in the backyard looking for ladybugs I smelled something really really really good and as far as I could tell it was coming from our kitchen I was a bit confused I went in to ask dad what was wrong enemy pie shouldn't smell this good but dad was smart if enemy pie smelled bad your enemy would never eat it he said I could tell he'd made enemy pie before the buzzer rang and dad put on the oven mitts and pulled the pie out of the oven it looked like plain old pie it looked good enough to eat I was catching on but still I wasn't really sure how this enemy pie worked what exactly does it do to enemies maybe it made their hair fall out or their breasts dinky maybe it made bullies cry I asked dad but he was no help he wouldn't tell me a thing but while the pie cooled he filled me in on my job he talked quietly there is one part of enemy pie that I can't do in order for it to work you need to spend a day with your enemy even worse you have to be nice to him it's not easy but that's the only way that enemy pie can work are you sure you want to go through with this of course I was it sounded horrible it was scary but it was worth a try all I had to do was spend one day with Jeremy Ross then he'd be out of my hair for the rest of my life I rode my bike to his house and knocked on the door when Jeremy opened the door he seemed surprised he stood on the other side of the screen door and looked at me waiting for me to say something I was nervous can you play I asked he looked confused I'll go ask by Bob he said he came back with his shoes in his hand his mom walked around the corner to say hello you boys stay out of trouble she said smiling we rode bikes for a while and played on the trampoline then we made some water balloons and threw them at the neighbour girls but we missed Jeremy's mom made us lunch after lunch we went over to my house it was strange but I was kind of having fun with my enemy he almost seemed nice but of course I couldn't tell Dad that since he had worked so hard to make this enemy pie Jeremy Ross liked my basketball hoop he said he wished he had a basketball hoop but they didn't have room for one I let him win a game just to be nice Jeremy Ross knew how to throw a boomerang he threw it and it came right back to him I threw it and it went over my house and into the backyard when we climbed over the fence to find it the first thing Jeremy noticed was my tree house my treehouse was my treehouse I was the boss if my sister wanted it I didn't have to let her if my dad wanted in I didn't have to let him and if Jeremy wanted in how do we go edit he asked I know he was going to ask me that but he was the top person the only person on my enemy list and enemies aren't allowed in my treehouse but he did teach me how to throw a boomerang and he did have me over for lunch and he did let me play on his trampoline he wasn't being a very good enemy okay I said but hold on I climbed up ahead of him and toward the enemy list off-the-wall I had a checkerboard and some cards in the treehouse and we played games until my dad called us down for dinner we pretended we didn't hear him and when he came out to get us we tried to hide from him but somehow he found us dad made us macaroni and cheese for dinner my favorite it was Jeremy's favorite - baby Jeremy Ross wasn't so bad after all I was beginning to think that maybe we should just forget about enemy pie but sure enough after dinner dad brought out the pie I watched as he cut the pie into eight thick slices dad I said it sure is nice having a new friend in the neighborhood I was trying to get his attention and trying to tell him that Jeremy Ross was no longer my enemy but dad only smiled nodded I think he thought I was just pretending dad dished up three plates side-by-side with big pieces of pie and giant scoops of ice cream he passed one to me and one to Jeremy Wow Jeremy said looking at the pie my dad never makes pie like this it was at this point that I panicked I didn't want to me to eat enemy pie he was my friend I couldn't let him eat it Jeremy don't eat it it's bad pie I think it's poisonous or something Jeremy's fork stopped before reaching his mouth he crumpled his eyebrows and looked at me funny I felt relieved I had saved his life I was a hero if it's so bad Jeremy asked then why has your dad already eaten - half of it I turned to look at my dad sure enough he was eating enemy pie good stuff he mumbled through a mouthful and that was all he said I sat there watching them eat enemy pie for a few seconds dad was laughing Jeremy was happily eating and neither of them was losing any hair it seemed safe enough so I took a tiny taste enemy pie was delicious after dessert Jeremy rode his bike home but not before inviting me over to play on his trampoline in the morning he said he'd teach me how to flip ice for enemy pie I still don't know how to make it I still wonder if enemies really do hate it or if their hair falls out or their breath turns bad but I don't know if I'll ever get an answer because I just lost my best enemy after spending a day with Jeremy Ross the little boy realized how much they had in common and they became good friends did you figure out the secret to enemy pie be sure to let me know in the comment section below I hope you enjoyed our story today thank you for being my reading friend see you next time subscribe for more storytime and don't forget to click the bell so you'll know each time a new video is posted [Music]
