Won't You Please Make A Movie?(Part 1)
Squid Girl (Or if you want to go by the Japanese Translation Shinryaku Ika Musume!) was made by Masahiro Anbe. I own nothing but this little story of mine, which is only used for entertainment purposes. Thank you for taking your time to read this readers and I hope you enjoy the story.
It was another bright and sunny day at the beach and everyone was having a swell, fun time there (Ok not everyone but we'll get to that in a bit). Over there consists of the Lemon Beach House, serving their guests with food, drinks, and awkward silences from the young squid mascot all around.
This was Inka, also known as Ika Musume, and she's actually not dressed up as a cute squid, she in fact IS one. Long story short, she came to the land of the dry as a human in hopes of getting revenge for the pollution that's being put all in her beautiful ocean... but things didn't go so well the first time she came afoot, as she accidently broke a good portion of the Lemon Beach House, Ika must now work as their mascot waitress and serve the customers in order to pay back for all the damage that she caused. Naturally, she doesn't like this at all, but eventually she warmed up to the place and had gotten used to the occurrences surrounding her so far. She hasn't gotten used to the humans yet but again, we'll get to that later...
At the near end of the day, while the guests were packing up and heading out, the workers from the Beach House would normally tidy up the place, lock it up for the night, and then head on home also. The manager of the place Eiko Aizawa usually keeps in check on Ika and her causing problems around the place [most of the time anyways].
"Oh, sugoi~"
"It just so happens that Eiko was going to take Takeru there to see a movie with monsters and robots and fighting in it. Would you like to go with them?"
"You bet! I want to see pictures move in this enormous screen!" Ika brightened up, jumping up and down for joy.
"Chizuru, you really shouldn't convince others to go someplace, especially if they have never been there before..." Eiko protested.
"Aw, but why not? I'm sure she'd have a wonderful time hanging out with you guys~" Chizuru giggled.
"Aw but wait, don't you want to go too?" Goro pleaded.
"Oh but I would be a bother to them I'm sure of it. And besides, those types of movies aren't really my—"
"We can go watch a different one; there are plenty of others that are available. I even have theses tickets which will expire today and I really don't want them to go to waste!"
"Well... if you put it that way, I guess I can go, that way you won't waste the tickets and you won't be all alone in a theater looking like a sad imbecile... no offense."
"None taken. And THANK YOOOOOOOOUUUU!"
"Baka." Eiko and Ika uttered under their breaths. "Hey Nagisa, you want to come to the theater too?"
"Uh, no thanks, movies aren't really my specialty." She replied shyly.
"Aw, what's the matter? Can't handle the scary monsters fighting in the big picture?" Ika teased her in a horrifying manner.
Nagisa hid behind a table and started screaming, up until Eiko hit Ika on the head and dragged her away. "Knock it off. Make sure you lock the place up before you leave, ok?"
"O-ok..." She weakly responded, still shaken by that out of nowhere moment.
.-.-.-.
The gang finally arrived at a local theater, where tons and tons of people were rushing in just to see some pretty visuals.
"Wow, this place is even more packed than I had ever imagined." Ika stared at the building with awe.
"Yeah, I'll say, I don't know if we'll be able to find any good seats." Eiko added.
"So, do you still have those tickets sis?" Chizuru asked.
"Yep, sure do. Why?"
"Well, I heard that you can get special reserved seats if you pay using tickets... but that's just something I've heard really."
"Aw sweet, I hope there's enough room for some."
"Come on, hurry up I want to get there before the trailers start rolling..." Takeru complained.
"Oh, right, sorry about that. Alright let's get going."
.-.-.-.
Inside the theaters, they pay with their tickets, get some foods, and part their separate ways to go see some different movies.
"Alright you two love birds, we'll see you guys when we get back!" Eiko joked and walked off with her brother and Ika, all while carrying the many snacks and drinks they could try and carry... though she didn't have nearly as rough as Goro.
"Hey, we're not lovebirds!" Goro stuttered. He sighed and then turned to Chizuru. "So, uh, were you going to eat all these?"
"Actually I'm using some of them for my special diet, the rest I'm saving for my friends. I'm sure they'd love to have some of these."
"Uh... yeah."
"Well, shall we get going?"
"O-of course ma 'dam, iku-zo!"
"You mean you haven't decided on what movie to show me?"
"Well, I was just thinking that maybe you should pick our movie..."
"Oh, so I get to pick? Okay then! Hmm, now let's see..."
As the two pass by some movie posters near the door in the hallway, Chizuru walks pass them with anticipation while Goro daydreams of them sitting cozy and watching a nice heartfelt movie together. No yelling or any bothering's, just peace and quiet.
Chizuru soon finds the movie she wants to see. She spots a poster for a horror movie, claiming it to be 'the scariest thing ever seen on the big screen... unless another scary movie shows up in theaters sometime later...' "Let's go and see this one Goro."
"Eh?" Goro acted surprised.
"What's wrong?" She said disappointingly. "You don't like to be scared? If that's true then perhaps we should go to—"
"N-No this is fine." He stuttered. "I am a man after all, I don't get scared easily. Shall we get going?"
"Oh goodie!" Chizuru brightened up and proceeded to the theater.
While following behind her, Goro pondered on why she wanted to see this one of all things. 'Hmm, I wonder if she's into the Horror genre, I don't know everything about her so that might be a surprise. Or maybe, she does get scared easily and wants someone to hold her and be there to comfort her and get through the scary parts with... ' He then starts to fantasize about just that. 'That would be nice. Aw yeah, this date is gonna rock I just know it!'
.-.-.-.
Meanwhile, Eiko, Takeru, and Ika make there way to the front seats in the room, since those seemed to be the only chairs left that are empty.
"Well, it's a good thing we still have some open seats here, otherwise we'd probably have to sit on the floor..." Takeru joked.
"Hey, why don't you shrimp on the floor de geso?" Ika suggested. "That way you can have just as much room to see the theater and—"
"No you wouldn't, and don't talk so loud, people need to be able to listen to the movie!" Eiko whispered angrily.
"Well squi, you don't have to act so krill de geso. You could just say it calmly like everyone else..." Ika takes some popcorn out of her bag (which is being held by her flying tentacles) and eats some.
"Put those away, or stop making them move and do your bidding. Do you know how people you've freaked out all because you used those to carry out the snacks? Not to mention you blew all my money on it too..."
"Hey, I got hungry, and when you hungry, you gotta eat. Plus, you're just lucky they didn't have any shrimp or else you'd have to spend your bank money again."
"Bank money, how do you know about th—?"
"Shush, onee-chan, Ika-neechan, the movie's about to start!" Takeru informed them both.
They both kept quiet and stared at the screen. As some big words came popping out and zooming past the screen, Ika reaches over to try and touch them, but to no avail. She then uses her tentacles to try and get them, but Eiko stops her before the crowd goes into a panic.
A couple minutes of buildup later, Ika gets treated to seeing the good guy for the first time. He looks a bit normal and plain, with his school uniform and headband, but then transforms and is shown wearing giant white armor, with red marks all over his body, and a giant golden helmet-like head. It was ridiculous to say the least.
"Hey, who's that ugly guy?" Ika asked Takeru.
"Huh? Oh, that's the main character, 'Kyohi Sa Reta Robotto' the robot who's going to defeat the monsters from invading the lands and bring peace to the town!"
"Ohh, I hope the monster eats him or something."
"EH? But you're supposed to root for the good guys."
"But I don't want to root for a guy that looks like he's in spandex or in a Halloween costume des geso~"
The monster then appears out of nowhere and starts to terrorize the town and townsfolk. It looked more like a giant rubber ducky though but then again, this is a kid's movie we're talking about... right? "I am the true self. My name is Gomu-sei No Ahiru. How dare you invade my oceans and pollute them freak? I will show you what it's like to be... alienated."
"DO YOUR BEST DUCK MAN! KICK HIS SQUIDDY ROBOT BUTT!" Ika stands up from her seat and exclaims out loud.
"Ika sit down and be quiet! Do you want us to get kicked out of the theater?" Eiko retorted.
"Wait, you can get kicked out easily?"
"Well yeah, it happens when someone is disrupting a theater block."
"Humph, well that's just silly, I'm not disruptive, I'm being exuberant."
"Surprised you know what that means..."
"Hey, I'm not stupid you know. I know a lot of things that you humans do—"
"Quiet please, this is the best part." Takeru interrupts.
"I wonder if Chizuru and Goro are having a more fun time than us..." Eiko muttered.
In another location, Goro is seen screaming and panicking while squeezing onto some random guy's arm in fear.
.-.-.-.
"Hey can you let go of me? I think you're hurting my arm." The man said confusingly.
"I c-c-c-can't, not until this m-m-m-movie's over!" Goro replied still shaken.
Chizuru though is perfectly fine, but is troubled with how Goro is acting. "Um, Goro? If you want we can always go—"
"N-N-No Chizuru, I'm fine, I'm not s-s-s-scared or anything likes that. NOPE! NOTHING AT- AHHHHHLLL!"
"..."
.-.-.-.
A long while later, after a tedious fight scene, the good guy wins and the monster is defeated. "The world is safe, I done it again!" He cheers and flies off into the sunset where the townsfolk cheer for him and his bravery.
"Aw man, what a rip-off! That duck totally should have won, if I were a director, I would have it like that." Ika booed.
"Will you please quit complaining?" Eiko face palmed.
"Fine, I'll continue complaining once we get out of this cruddy theater." Ika takes a sip from Eiko's soda, to which the latter pulls it back in disgust and annoyance. She later throws the drink away along with all the others treat boxes and wrappers that have been emptied.
.-.-.-.
"Well that was a pretty lame movie." Eiko concluded.
"Yeah, I'll say! But the theater and special effects are pretty cool." Ika agreed.
"Are you kidding? That was awesome! Thank you so much for taking me there sis." Takeru added.
"Oh, you're welcome. Still, I can't believe so many people wanted to see that."
"You mean people from all over will pay to see your work and praise it no matter what?" Ika asked.
"Sure thing. My, my, it sure was an unexpected one, wouldn't you say? It was so crowded, so many people wanted to see those movies." Chizuru said while carrying frightened and still shaken Goro away.
'Whoa, so people actually waste their time and money just to serve their brains to watch something like that? Hmm, maybe if I can do something like that... I can invade their privacy and their brains!' Ika snickered silently as she walks back home with the others.
