Since today is 4th July, i decided to write something about it, so here it goes.
The story bellow takes place maybe a day or two before the rescue scene, but instead of Elisa, this story foccus on Zelda and the creature. Iwatched a movie yesterday with thisactress (octavia Spencer) and decided to write something with her.
Hope you like it. And have fun today.
Visionary Writer, sorry if the characters isn´t 'moviely' acurated, it´s my way to work. hope you don´t mind.
WATERY 4TH JULY
Despite of been the Independence Day, the laboratory was continue its activities during the night, so, it was just another night to work for Zelda and the crew, except for Elisa. It happened that Giles had called that morning saying Elisa was sick, she wasn´t going to appear from work, leaving Zelda with no one to talk to, while cleaning.
Not that Elisa talked back of course, but Zelda liked to vent out her frustrations and Elisa doesn´t mind listen.
At her lunch time then, Giles called again on Elisa´s behalf, asking Zelda if she could go to the tank and give the Creature a happy 4th July congratulation, making the poor woman tremble from head to toe, but agreed ''tell her, I'm just doing this for her!'' Zelda shocked her head in disapproval. ''Lord help me''

As usual the creature´s lair was quiet, except for the sound of recurring water, there´s no one working there either, when Zelda step in with her lunch box. Upon hearing someone approaching, the creature emerged on the surface, looking directly to Zelda.
''there you are huh?'' Zelda placed her hands on her hips ''Elisa isn´t here, she´s sick. You know what 'sick' means? Mean´s she can´t come to work and she will be pay less for this, because it's how the world works.'' Zelda said and in response, the creature just get up from the tank.
''oh Lord, what did Elisa saw in you? You´re the strangest creature I ever seen'' said Zelda said
''GRRRL!'' the creature growled and Zelda raised a finger, angry and surprised
''you can stop right there!'' she said ''you can´t blame me for hurt your feelings, I even doesn´t know you have feelings'' Zelda said. The creature just looked at her, but make no sound ''well, at least you are better than Brewster is, he even remembered it´s 4th July, at least you didn´t made Elisa any harm.''
Upon hearing it´s friends name, the creature looked around, apparently he hadn´t understand what that strange woman was mean with 'Elisa is sick' thing and produced a sorrowful sound, calling her.
''oh dear'' Zelda reproves herself ''what I'm doing here, talking to this creature ''here, she ask me to give you this'' Zelda picked up a boiled egg and place it on the edge of the tank. On response, the creature pick it up and eat with one single bite.
''you know, you are a very good thing you know, at least for Elisa, I never saw her so happy in the past ten years.'' Zelda smiled ''happy 4th July'' she patted the creature´s gilrs, before walk away from the lair and go back to work.
Zelda couldn´t wait however, to Elisa been back to work, as she had much to talk about.
END.
