Truth be told, Rick didn't really want to eat Rico. The reason was that although Rico's fruity flesh was yellow, his face was top of the fruit. Yellow as it was, and stuck to the body of a banana, it was undoubtedly Rico's features. It was not appetising at all but held such a comedic force that Rick couldn't resist pretending to be about to chomp on the banana, smacking his lips, saying "Yummy!" enthusiastically, claiming he would eat Rico in a single bite, approached his jaws and teeth and even raised Rico up to give him a full view of his teeth and mouth, a maw from the point of view of Rico. Rico was terrified but for Rick it was hilarious fun and a real heaven for this bully. Rico, who still had the use of his mouth, screamed in a tiny and squeaky voice his horror and terror, begging for Rick not to eat him. The bully just laughed uproariously and then found another game. He poked Rico's face, as the banana was helpless to resist or have the finger move away, delighting in Rico's shouts of annoyance and anger as the massive finger poked him in the eyes and cheeks. Rico was beyond angered and Rick had no intention to cease his stupid bullying. That was what lost him, in the end.
As Rick was poking Rico yet again, he misjudged his poke and thrust his finger in the banana's mouth. Furious and happy at this opportunity. Rico bit him. Rick yelled out in pain, yanked his hand away but carried away by his large movement, he tripped, lost his balance and fell down. However, he fell on the ground and Rico fell right on his crotch. The transformation then spread from Rico to Rick, although Rico was thoroughly disgusted at having his face right against Rick's penis, even through the layers of clothing. Before Rick could get up, the transformation was already on him and Rico both.
