Alright, this is my new "stupid escape" fic.
Elena: Es-ca-pay!
Why are you invading all of my fics?
Elena: Because my shrimp inspired the idea.
Fine. I don't own Golden Sun. And the shrimp gave me the idea. Enjoy.
ATTACK OF THE KILLER SHRIMP OF DOOM!
By: Akiko
Chapter 1: The beginning...dun dun dun...
Picard was leaning over the railing of his Lemurian ship, staring out onto the horizon where the blue water met the blue sky, and all was very blue. The wind made little waves in the water and blew his hair away from his face. The sun glimmered on the surface of the water.
"What a beautiful day," he said to himself. He tended to talk to himself a lot. After all, he was rather old.
Something surfaced in the water. Picard leaned farther in order to investigate. "I wonder what that could be."
It was a huge shrimp. It reared in the water and let out a shrill, piercing scream.
****
"NOOOO!" Picard woke up. He was sitting up in bed, gasping for air. He brushed his fingers through his hair, thinking quickly. "Was it a dream? Or was it a vision? Well, whatever it was, I'm certain it wasn't real."
He got up and padded barefoot up to the deck. The water was absolutely still, the moon reflecting off of it like a very large mirror. The sight calmed Picard, and he leaned against the rail, deeply breathing in the smell of the sea. He gagged when a dead fish chose that moment to float by and he caught a heafty wiff of that.
"Ugh," he rubbed at his nose, his eyes streaming. "That was disgusting."
He stared back out to sea, trying to breath shallowly and wishing the stench would go away. A little ways off he saw a disturbance in the water. Something beneath the surface glowed a sullen green, and the water bubbled up like something very large was moving down there.
"What is that?" he asked the air. Suddenly, a shrimp bigger than the last one surfaced from the depths. It was indeed glowing, water washing off of it's dimly lit green scales. It let out a sound like a fog horn and started towards the ship.
****
"NOOOO!" Picard sat up again. He was back in his own bed. He sighed and pulled his blankets toward him, a smile on his face.
"Wait, this happened last time," he remembered. "I woke up from a horrible dream, only to be attacked by shrimp again. Will this be a never ending, vicious cycle of doom? Will I forever be plagued by giant shrimp? Why? Tell me, WHY?!"
"Because you slept in, you dolt," Mia walked in. "C'mon, lunch is ready."
"MIA!" Picard could have glomped her. "Tell me this is real!"
"It's real, Picard," she gave him the look that told him he was acting like a psycho again. "Now, hurry up. It's probably getting cold."
They walked up to the deck together. "So, what's for lunch?"
Garet bounded up and presented him a plate full of pink curls on lettuce. "We're having-"
"SHRIMP! NOOOOOO!" Picard ran away. "GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!"
"I've always known he was crazy," Jenna said.
"Yeah, imagine, a big guy like that, terrified of shrimp," Isaac shook his head.
Behind them something fell onto the deck. The giant shrimp sniffed. They were eating his brethren.
They would pay.
