Limitless Pancakes.

This is an account of stuff that happened after our traditional Halloween demo team party. Yes, it's another sleepover, I bet you're excited!!
It had been a long night of sleeping on judo mats and nearly throwing Treasure and his phone across the street. You see, Treasure's alarm on his phone went off 3 times in the middle of the night and he didn't wake up to turn it off until the third. He made the mistake of showing us what his alarm sounded like the night before, so we knew it was his. The reason he showed us was because he wanted us to see 'how annoying it was'. Well, we found that out!
Anyway, I digress. We all eventually got up, and I had to take my prescription mouthwash (because I had just had jaw surgery) and expectorate it. Yes, the bottle said "rinse in mouth and expectorate". Expectorate became the word of the day after that. "I will chew you up, and expectorate you!" Treasure yelled at Tree, as Tree chased him around the studio laughing with a chambarra sword. Treasure had started the fight though, as he always did. Starting fights with multiple people who were bigger than him was his speciality.
After Treasure had taken enough of a beating we discovered that we were hungry!
"We should go to ihop!" Tiger suggested.
It sounded like a delicious idea. Water Fetcher had to leave though, so we said goodbye, then piled into a car. We arrived at ihop, then started making our selections.
"I think I'm going to get their limitless pancake combo." Tree decided. Treasure looked over at his menu in one sudden movement.
"Limitless pancakes?"
"Yeah," Tree began to explain, not because Treasure didn't know what it was, but because Treasure thought it was too good to be true. "You order this, and you just keep asking for pancakes and they bring you more."
"And... they have no limit??" Treasure asked in disbelief.
"Yes, I believe thats what the term 'limitless' implies." said Tree.
It was like Treasure's whole life had been made. When the waitress came to take our order we were all surprised that Treasure let Tree order first! He must've been biding his time. However, he was the next to order. "I'll get the limitless pancakes combo." he said with a very straight face, as though this wasn't exciting anymore.
"What would you like to drink?" the waitress asked.
"Mountain Dew." Treasure replied.
Then the rest of us ordered, most of us getting actual breakfast drinks like hot chocolate or orange juice, but Treasure was happy with his mountain dew.
While we waited we sat around and talked about random stuff, Treasure got punched by Tree a few times, and we got a new word of the day! Splendid, was the new word.
We soon all got our orders brought to the table, and as soon as the waitress left Treasure again started freaking out about his pancakes. "I already have 3, and they're limitless! They have no limit!"
Tree was pouring syrup on his own limitless pancakes, then offered to do the same for Treasure's. Treasure accepted his offer. "Just tell me when to stop." Tree said.
"Okay." Treasure replied. Then he started going on about limitless whatever again, and how splendid it was. Meanwhile, Tree kept pouring. None of us were really listening to Treasure, just watching the growing flash flood of syrup going all over his beloved limitless pancakes.
Finally he realized that something was going on and looked at his plate, which was now overflowing with syrup. "Ah!! Stop! STOP!! The syrup is limitless!"
Tree stopped pouring and started laughing, "You didn't tell me to stop!"
"Not splendid Tree, not splendid..." Treasure said as he wiped up the syrup with a napkin. The rest of us just started laughing.
Tio was done with his entire meal in about 30 seconds. "I'm still hungry!" he whined.
"Dude," Treasure said almost scoldingly, "you should've gotten the limitless pancakes. They're limitless! They have NO LIMIT!" he finished by leaning across the table with the most excited expression I've ever seen on his face.
"Let me have some of your pancakes." Tio said.
"Limitless pancakes." Treasure corrected.
"No! I'm not going to say that! It's just gotten annoying!"
Treasure gasped, "How dare you talk that way! You're not getting any!"
Tio glared at Treasure, then slapped him with a napkin. I ended up giving Tio some of my food, since I'm never all that hungry and he's our resident bottomless pit.
The waitress then came by to check on everything.
"Can I get some more pancakes?" Treasure asked, with a quick 'haha' type glance at Tio.
"Yeah, me too?" asked Tree.
"You sure can." The waitress responded.
"And is the soda refillable?" Treasure asked.
"Yep, do you want another Mountain Dew?"
"Yes, please."
As the waitress walked away, Treasure started freaking out again. "You guys should've gotten soda! It's limitless too! It has no LIMIT!!!! Just like the limitless pancakes!!" He then started laughing, and we all got nervous. Thats all Treasure needed this morning was limitless caffein.
"Stop with the limitless thing!" Tio shouted at Treasure.
"Never! It's limitless!"
"Don't do anything drastic," Tiger warned Tio, "we're in public."
Tio grumbled and sat back instead of throttling Treasure. Treasure smirked at Tio.
"When we get back to the studio you're dead!" Tio whispered across the table.
As soon as we had eaten our fill, and pulled Treasure away from the limitless pancakes that had no limit, we piled back into the car.
Treasure's seatbelt was locked, so as he pulled on it he said, "Uh! I wish the seatbelt was limitless!" It looked like splendid was no longer our word of the day...
"Then if you got in a wreck you would just keep flying even with a seatbelt on!" Tio pointed out.
Treasure seemed to consider this, but only for a second because then he kept going. Limitless this, limitless that, it has no limit, it's all just limitless... blah limitless blah...
Tio got mad and put Treasure in a koga hold. "AH!!! The pain is limitless!" he screamed.
"And the jokes are limitless! They have no limit!" Tio responded sarcastically.
Anyway, Treasure still hasn't quite gotten over the whole limitless thing. I taught him how to say "limitless pancakes" in sign language, and he enjoys that! Now it just makes us all happy every time we hear the word Limitless. After all, it has no limit.
