The Wacky Writing Prompt Scavenger Hunt

So there's this writing website that I love and it's called The Write Practice.  Various challenges get posted sometimes and this is the first one I've properly done.  It's called The Wacky Writing Prompt Scavenger Hunt.  The aim was to be silly, so this is what happened.


Nor would she become insensible with drink and be sick.  This was precisely the situation Melanie had found herself in at least thrice the past week.  She stumbled into the kitchen, sliding on the rubber gloves that had somehow ended up on the floor, and yanked open the fridge, pink hair flying about her face as she shook her head to clear it of the fuzz she was denying.  The fridge was strangely devoid of edible items apart from a bowl of sloppy spaghetti bolognaise left over from last night.  The sauce had way too much tomato in it, alas, she needed to fill the void that was her stomach, and so she shrugged and pulled it out.  It wasn’t pizza, but it was good enough.  Melanie finished it off within minutes and suddenly realised that what she wanted more than anything else at this moment was a Kit Kat chocolate bar.  Melanie stood up and brushed off her extremely wrinkled Alice in Wonderland dress before dumping her bowl in the sink and proceeding to search for her stash of Kit Kats in the pantry. 
                “Melanie, Melanie, Melanie!” Trulani skidded into the kitchen at full throttle only to halt abruptly and stare at Melanie as she realised what the other girl was doing.  “Melanie you promised you wouldn’t eat anymore Kit Kats!” Trulani whined.
                “Wha- I’m not!” She frantically threw down the half opened bar she was holding.  Trulani rolled her eyes at Melanie and rushed towards her to dispose of the Kit Kats. 
In her haste, Trulani failed to see that there was a rubber glove still on the floor and she skidded on it and careened into the bench, finally ending on the ground in a heap.  She raised her head and said, “Don’t eat the Kit Kats!”
Melanie looked around for something to temporarily incapacitate Trulani in a minor way, and her eyes latched onto the open bag of cat litter lying in the bottom of her pantry, so she grabbed it and flung it over Trulani’s head, bits of litter flying all around her now utterly trashed kitchen.  As Trulani struggled with the cat litter bag over her head, Melanie calmly walked back to the pantry and grabbed a Kit Kat.  She slowly and purposefully unwrapped the chocolate bar and indulgently took a bite.  Still not as good as pizza.
