King Burger's Farm is a beautiful place. It is located isolated from the city and all around the farm you can find green lawn and lots of apple trees.
The farm owns cows, pigs and sheep, but it also has a huge garden for vegetables such as tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes and eggplant.
The corner of the tomatoes is the nicest one at least that is what Tina thinks. It is where she grew up after all. Tina is a little tomato. She is as perfectly round like a ball and has red smooth skin all over which she is very proud of. Tina loves the tomato field because it is hidden in the undergrowth and gets an equally amount of sun and shadow everyday. However, there is one other place on King Burger's farm that Tina likes a lot. It is the field with the potatoes right next to the tomato's field. The thing she likes about this place is light-brown, to some parts blotted with earth and has a name; Paul the potato. Smart, adventurous and every now and then quite mysterious. Tina fell for him the first second she saw him straying through the garden. Paul has been to all parts of the farm and even when it comes to everything outside the farm, Tina feels overwhelmed by his knowledge of the world. She could listen to his stories for hours and never get tired of them. Another thing she would never get tired of is the way Paul looks at her. She knows he admires her perfectly red skin and is fascinated by her roundness that he has never seen in other potatoes.
Both of them entirely enjoyed the time they were spending with each other, but it was not easy. Especially after the parents of Paul and Tina found out about their relationship it got really tough. "Potatoes and Tomatoes don't fit together," was what Tina's mother kept telling her "they are different species, and have different purposes on this world. How do you think a relationship with someone like that should work out? Just think of what will happen after the crop. You will never see him again, because you will land in a super market with tones of other tomatoes while he will go wherever potatoes have to go." Tina refused to listen to her mother's speeches. What does she even know about the future? Tina didn't want to end up in a stupid super market anyway. When Paul told Tina that her mother actually had a point, she burst out crying. "Wait love," Paul said, "that doesn't mean I don't believe in this thing we have. I would do anything for a lifetime by your side and if you feel the same way, maybe I have a plan".
The next day, Paul said he had something he needs to show Tina. Excited about the news, she waited for him near the flower garden. When Paul finally arrived he carried a huge flyer with him. It was a menu from a big fast-food-chain, which the King Burger's Farm serves with vegetables. "You don't want to end up in a super market, right? Neither do I! I know right now we are different, but I feel that I can be the best version of myself only when I'm with you. It seems as if I was made for you and you were made for me."
This night Tina the tomato and Paul the potato said goodbye to each other. But they shouldn't be apart for too long. After a few lonely and exhausting weeks of transformation they met again, this time not in a garden but in a big fast-food restaurant. "Hey handsome", Tina said. She liked his new shape, tall and straight, not the dirty unformed potato he used to be. "Hey gorgeous," Paul the fried potato replied, "I missed your beautiful red color, good to see you again." "Potato fries with ketchup please", a voice stroke Paul’s and Tina’s reunion and the ground under them started moving. However, Tina the tomato ketchup was not afraid. She was happy to be back together with her soul mate, the one she wanted to spend the rest of her live with, even if that life won’t be to long this way. Paul was whispering the words of a song: "To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die..." and the tablet with the both of them on got carried away by a fat hungry man.
