Apple has graduated after studying for many years. However, in today’s market, what Apple had was not enough. So Apple to decide to take up a course in Nottoofarawayland. Apple remembered that Pear was working in Nottoofarawayland. So, Apple decided to ask Pear to help Apple to find a tree to stay. At the same time, Pear was looking for a place to move as well and suggested that Apple were to stay with Pear. Apple thought, “why not? I’ve known Pear forever, Pear can be trusted”.

So, all the trouble of looking for a tree was left to Pear. Pear convinced Apple saying that it’s better to get an oak, rather than some rattan or bamboo. Apple’s cousin, Green Apple said that Apple might as well get a small tree to live in. After all, no one knows what kind of fruit Pear was. But Apple thought it was ok and went ahead with Pear’s idea.

Apple and Pear are now staying together in their oak tree. Cranberry was Pear’s fruitfriend at that time… or so Apple thought. Later on, Apple found out that Cranberry and Pear has broken up long ago and Cranberry was just a matingfriend. However, Cranberry still owns a set of keys to the oak tree. Apple found out later that Pear gave it to him so it’ll be more convenient for Cranberry to get in.

After a few weeks, Cranberry stopped going to the oak tree and the reason was never known. Pear became more wild after that. At the time that Pear was still sleeping around with Cranberry, Pear liked another fruit, Mangosteen. However, Mangosteen already has 2 other fruitfriends. Pear was Mangosteen’s only fruitfriend in Nottoofarawayland because the other 2 fruitfriends were in Nearland and Nearerland.

In the absence of Apple, Pear brought Mangosteen home to oak tree a couple of times. One day Pear got tired of being with Mangosteen because Mangosteen was more interested in the fruitfriend from Nearland.

Pear loves being surrounded with other fruits. Pear frequents a tree house in the center of Nottoofarawayland. One night, Pear met Honeydew. Honeydew was from Farland and Honeydew will be returning to Farland in a couple of days time. The next day after they met, Pear brought Honeydew home. Apple wasn’t around so Apple wasn’t aware that the oak tree has been frequented by so many other fruits. After a few days, Honeydew left and was never seen again. Pear was again left alone. But Pear doesn’t mind. Pear can always go to the tree house and meet another fruit.

One day at the tree house, Pear met Lime who is from Evenfurtherthanfarland. Lime was a very wild fruit and made a lot of advances towards Pear. Pear didn’t really like Lime at first. However, after meeting Lime a couple of times, Pear started liking Lime. They always meet up at the tree house. When it is closing time for the tree house, they’ll move to another tree house. During the ride to the other tree house, Pear and move around vigorously on Lime. One day, Pear and Lime stopped seeing each other and the mystery was left unsolved.

Pear has a friend called Strawberry. One day Pear decided to go to Abitfurtherland to relax. Strawberry liked Pear and agreed to accompany Pear to Abitfurtherland. Pear and Strawberry left for Abitfurtherland early in the morning. That night Pear didn’t return to the oak tree. Apple thought Pear stayed overnight at Abitfurtherland. Two days later, Pear told Apple that Pear returned on that day itself but went to the tree house immediately after arriving in Nottoofarawayland.

The reason Pear didn’t go home to the oak tree was because Pear met Papaya at the tree house. Pear didn’t want to go home to the oak tree and went to Papaya’s home instead. For the next few days Pear met up with Papaya a few times. One night, Pear brought Papaya home to the oak tree. Apple was home so Apple was introduced to Papaya. After the introduction, Pear and Papaya went into Pear’s room.

Pear thought that maybe Pear had scored big and that maybe Papaya was the one. However, Papaya is always busy and doesn’t have much time for Pear. One day, Pear met Guava. Guava was also from Farland. Pear brought Guava to the tree house Pear often goes to. At that time, Papaya was also there. Pear saw Papaya and went over to Papaya and started fooling around. Since Papaya was with friends, not much attention was paid to Pear.

Pear got upset and went back to Guava and started fooling around with Guava. Papaya’s friend saw that and told Papaya about it. Papaya felt so disgusted with Pear. Right after Guava, Pear went back to Papaya hoping that maybe Pear could catch Papaya’s attention. Papaya got so upset and immediately told Pear off. Pear got upset again and went back to Guava. Since Guava was leaving in a few days, Pear decided to bring Guava home for the night. Pear and Papaya’s short romance lasted only slightly over a week.

Pear felt a little remorseful about Pear’s life in the past 2 months also for always being with a different fruit. One day, Pear met Cherry. Cherry was very nice to Pear and they hit it off immediately. Pear decided to get Cherry to move in to the oak house. Cherry finally did and Apple was suddenly left with an extra treemate.

This was when things started to get nasty. Pear started dominating the area around the oak tree. When Apple makes any decision, Pear will get angry. Pear and Cherry always fight too. Many leaves were broken and spoilt. Leaves could be seen flying around too. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, Pear and Cherry will start yelling at each other causing Apple to be unable to sleep at night.

Many months later, Pear and Cherry started getting along a little better. However, conversations between Apple and Pear got a lot less than before. Little did Apple know, Pear and Cherry was plotting to kick Apple out of the oak tree. One day, Cherry confronted Apple and told Apple to move out the following month. Apple has exams in 4 days and is in the midst of studying and finding a job. But Cherry and Pear didn’t care. Pear said that because Apple didn’t sign the leaf of agreement, Pear can kick Apple out of the oak tree anytime and giving Apple a month’s time was their way of showing they are not cruel.

Apple said more time needs to be given because it was too sudden. But Cherry said that has got nothing to do with them and they are not a non profit tree and Pear’s words are absolute. Apple felt sad, angry and betrayed.

However, like always, there’s Karma.
