Because sometimes, you just can't predict the plot. Especially when eggplants are involved.
It turns out the eggplants of the world have had enough. They've been tired of being boiled, fried, and mashed for too long. They rise up in a glorious rebellion, with eggplant-sized protests in city streets and eggplant-themed graffiti on city walls. The humans, confused and a bit annoyed, try to figure out what's going on.
One eggplant discovers a way to travel through time, visiting ancient Egypt, the Wild West, and even a dystopian future where eggplants rule supreme. Along the way, it meets a wise old eggplant sage who teaches it the ways of the universe.
It starts with a few scattered reports of eggplants acting strangely. Then, suddenly, eggplants are everywhere - on every street corner, in every garden, even in the White House (where they're somehow using the presidential podium as a giant eggplant stand). The humans, baffled and a bit terrified, try to figure out what to do.
