Okay, so this is my first time writing anything about the Aquabats... and, honestly I have no idea how it will turn out. My sister and I are really big fans of the show, so I'm going to try my best to keep everybody in character. I'm gonna be basing this fanfic off of the Aquabat's song Martian Girl, just because they haven't made an episode for it yet...
Please read and review! Thanks!
SOMEWHERE ON A PLOT CONVENIENT STREET!
In an elated explosion of laughter and fist-pumps, the members of The Aquabats jumped out of the Battle Tram and marched through the parking lot toward the Super Gloopy Mart. The MC Bat Commander waved a check in the air and began to (sort-of) danced as he walked, which the others followed.
The leader took a deep breath, "Man do I love pay day!"
Eaglebones Falconhawk replied, slinging his always-present guitar over his shoulder, "That last gig we played at was AWESOME."
"I know! And we made so much money!" It was clear the commander was still overjoyed at the check in his hands. He highlighted the word 'money' with a hi-pitch voice that reached the entire parking lot.
Ricky Fitness jumped in with a nod, and a flex of his biceps, "The girls loved us!"
Always nearly shouting, Crash McLarson agreed, "YEAH! I bet it was our best performance yet!"
The commander returned to the head of the conversation, "But… did you see how much MONEY?"
Jimmy the Robot sighed, and smiled at his silly, illogical human friends, "Yes Commander, the amount of salary we received was at an abundant quantity. Shall I suggest we enter the convenience store and procure this week's necessities with our money? I suggest supplies for the next concert destination?"
Eaglebones was the first to start for the store's entrance. The parking lot was bare except for two cars belonging to the employees. It was clear no one else was at the Gloopy-Mart that day. As they approached, the sliding doors seemed to open and close as if nervously indecisive at whether to let the wild band in or not. They did make their loud violent entry into the market, nearly tripping on top of each other. And as they did they confessed to each other what they planned to spend with their money.
"I know exactly what I'm getting." Eaglebones started, "New guitar strings. The strings I get are specially made. I can only get them here; not many other stores hold them."
"What kind of strings are we talkin' bout, Bones?" Commander asked, blinking as the team used their join forces to pull out a sole shopping cart.
"Electrical charged strings to let lasers pass through safely."
"Why wouldn't more stores carry those? That's just madness..."
"I know right?"
Crash jumped in for his turn to speak, "I know what I'm getting!" he then paused scratching his dandelion-shade eyebrows, "Um, but I have to figure out what that is first..."
"What about you Jimmy?" Ricky asked curiously.
"Oh, just the essentials," Jimmy listed informatively, "you know food, toiletries, cleaning supplies, mechanical hands..." he suddenly faced a confused Crash "and no, Crash, I said toiletries, not toilet tree."
Crash lowered his hand as if he had been a student in a class room. Jimmy continued, "Ricky? What about you?"
"Don't look at me! You guys will just have to wait and see what I'm getting... see you fellows in a few minutes!" and with that he ran in with super speed through the store aisles.
Commander laughed, "I miss him already." but then quickly gave a shout of surprise as a vindictive door opened and let a wind steal the check from him as it flew back out into the parking lot, "GAH! Get back here!"
When the MCBC finally caught it, Jimmy called to him, "Commander! Be careful! We can't lose that money! The team's looking to you to watch over it..."
The Commander gave him a salute with the hand that held the check. And stared challengingly at the check before putting it in his pocket,
"Dare you to get out of there!" Commander shouted proudly at his cleverness. He started back to the building when he noticed a flashing come from above him in the early afternoon sky. It was a little white light blinking high up and it seemed to be getting closer. It was only a matter of time before The MC Bat Commander was assured that the light was on a collision course with the Earth. The best idea he could think of… was to bunker in the safety of the Gloopy-Mart. But, as soon as he entered the store all inklings of that mysterious light suddenly disappeared and in its place was wonder at the various, mesmerizing products of the store. He soon could be found wondering around the craft aisles thinking of what he wanted to buy, before glancing about to see if anyone was looking, and swiping a pack of permanent markers. He made sure to whisper as he walked away.
Crash was happily searching the toy aisle for new action figures and plush animals. He found a little brother doll and a giant bird-head action figure. A little girl nearby observed the large man deciding between the two packages, then shrugging with a huge smile and getting both.
"Are you buying those for a kid, mister?" The freckled-face girl asked.
"No." Crash said almost laughing at the silliness of that question and continued out of the toy aisle.
Eaglebones was in the music section of the store, which had about five records playing at once so you really couldn't tell what any of the music was about. Records, CDs, tuners, tubas, headphones, drumsticks, and other musical instruments were lazily scattered on the shelves in a huge mess. After picking through the many varieties of guitar strings, Bones finally found the kind he was looking for. Flipping them over he nodded his head,
"Sweet..." He exclaimed to himself. He looked back into the mess of records and noticed the corner of some familiar-looking record covers sticking out underneath some nearby bongos and pulled them out curiously. The record on top was something called 'Troubled Tongues' with a weird picture of a tongue with sunglasses on. The record in the middle was called 'Idaho, I Don't Know' with an equally weird picture of a potato with a map. Grinning at the covers he put them back down in a neater stack then the rest of the shelf. Eaglebones and picked up one more, which, to his horror, was the popular rap single, 'Beat Fishing'.
"Gah!" He dropped it and shook his head angrily, "I hate that record!" and with his foot he pushed it underneath the shelf, and stomped off.
"Tiny Burger's Dinner Meals... hmm..." Jimmy pondered out loud as he looked over a few things in the frozen food section, "Or maybe they would like Slushie flavored sherbet..." he had a basket with already a few items inside, in one hand, while he held his list in the other hand.
"Jimmy! JIMMY!" Robot turned his mechanical head to see Ricky calling for him, "Look at the great deal I found!" Ricky held up three boxes, with blender like machines posted on the front of each, "We could buy two juicers and get one free!"
Jimmy wasn't exactly sure that was a good idea, "Ricky, I'm not exactly sure that's a good idea. We only would really need one juicer..."
"No, think of it this way Jimmy!" Ricky put down the boxes so he could motion with his hands, "What if Crash broke the first juicer? Never fear, Ricky's here. And if some villain, like Unicorn Bug Lady or Shirtman, were to accidentally break the second one in a fight; no worries! Ricky's got this covered with a third juicer! See?"
Jimmy sighed, "But what if something happens to the third one Ricky?"
Ricky smiled and held out a smaller package, "Juicer insurance!"
Something close to elevator music was playing in the background in the food section of the store. Commander was singing to himself as he went down the meat aisle pushing a shopping cart, looking at what he would probably like to consume that afternoon for lunch.
"Manly men like manly food! So give me some steak!" He sung, which slowly turned to humming again, as he started piling ground beef, raw steak and bacon into the cart. But he slowly became as frozen as the meat products, at the realization that he wasn't alone at the freezer. Failing at being inconspicuous by turning only his head, he caught a glimpse at the tall lady standing beside him. She was eyeing the meat in the freezer with such hunger that the MCBC had no doubt that she could eat the entire selection. She was definitely NOT normal; she looked like a swim suit model... maybe that was because she had a super-duper fit body and was wearing nothing but a silver, two-piece bikini with a black belt, and silver boots. Also, her skin was grass green, her hair was curly, long, and blue and seemed almost smoke-like, and had elf like ears, and antennas that looked like painted golf balls. That might have also perturbed his instincts that she wasn't just a regular Gloopy-mart shopper, despite the fact that there was no such thing as a 'regular' Gloopy mart shopper. Her orange eyes stayed wide open, looking at the raw meat lined out in front of her, and never once blinking. Commander couldn't stop staring, not exactly sure what to think of this... whatever she was.
"H-hi." Commander greeted kind of dazed. He assumed that she had not noticed him because she remained intently staring at the quantity of meat that lay in the freezer, but he was wrong. Her head twisted to look at him so suddenly he dropped the bacon he had been holding. She stared at the bacon he had dropped, and slowly leaned down to pick it up. She seemed, though, to pick up the bacon as if she were a plastic doll, and could only move certain ways. Straightening back up she held the package out to the Commander, as he unintentionally flashed a grimace in bewilderment at the 'freaky lady'. She attempted to smile in return, but her smile was almost frightening, more as if she was trying to smile, but never had before, and was instead trying to show all of (VERY sharp teeth /or/ her many sharpened canines) at the same time.
"You dropped this, human." She seemed to be trying to mimic Spanish and British accent, her voices was cold and analytical, like a hunter, "You are very clumsy. You are welcome."
Honestly, that was the third weirdest greeting Commander had ever heard. And normally, being insulted would get on his nerves, but, she seemed to not really know what she was saying. So he let it pass for now.
"...Thanks?" The Commander said slowly, taking the bacon and putting it in the cart. For some reason, she reminded him of a girl drummer from a band he knew when he was younger and in his teens, "Ever hear of the V Girls?"
She looked as if she had completely ignored the question, and was instead studying his face and the top of his head, "Hmm..." she suddenly poked his drawn-on mustache. The bizarre invasion of his personal space made him jolt back in disgust. Pulling her fingers back, she rubbed them together with a disappointed frown. She touched his head, wiping some of the black on his forehead.
"Listen lady! It's a 'see-but-no-touch' package!" The MC Bat Commander finally replied backing up, pulling over his shopping cart for safety
She nodded slowly, but not at all to what he had just said; her antenna suddenly shrunk down into her blue hair and were no longer visible, "There. We are similar. And I am not suspicious."
"Okaaay." Commander was starting to really wonder if this woman was okay. But something about her made him feel funny, like if she were trying to scan his thoughts…or something. But if he found her so strange, why did he find himself blushing?
"I heard you singing one minute and forty-two seconds ago..." She continued in this random rant of hers, "Up until this point, I haven't completely heard singing before. Are the markings above your lip part of a coming-of-age ceremony?
"Ha, you must mean my manly mustache. It's a long story about-," Suddenly the Commander jumped in total shock. Something she said offended him on such a high level, "What the WHAAAAAA? You haven't heard SINGING? What about music in general?"
She was now looking back at the meat in the freezer, and actually answered back to him for the first time, "Not... really..." she still seemed unsure of what she was saying.
"OKAY. That's IT! C'mon miss! I'm bringing you back to the BattleTram!" He grabbed her arm and pulled her along with the cart, "You're about to hear the best music, you will ever hear!"
She became tense when he grabbed her arm, at the point of nearly striking the strange fat stranger. Her smoke-like hair began to vibrate defensively like a snake's rattle. But when she realized he wasn't up to anything horrible, she let her hair down (so to speak) and followed. Only as the Commander pulled her along did he notice some new things about her. She was about a head taller then him, which he wasn't sure if he liked. He then spied that she also had taken a large steak from the freezer when he wasn't looking -when that was confounded the singer- and was carrying it greedily. It fleetingly occurred to him to wonder why was he suddenly feeling so generous to dedicate their next dress rehearsal, which was basically every rehearsal, to this... whatever-she-was?
Yeah, okay... so that was my first chapter... XD I did my best so please leave a nice review!
Also, if you actually don't mind spoiling the story for yourself, I suggest listening to the Aquabats Martian Girl song.
