Disclaimer: I OWN THE MOVIE. The individual copy just for me! Hee...
Author's Notes: Sorry it took so long for an update, between a summer semester and A&P, time hasn't been very kind to me. Besides, my word count was 1,337! How often does that happen?
Also, why didn't anyone tell me I spelled 'Imprisonment' wrong? I feel like an idiot...
'Impirical Construct of Being' or 'Brain'
It was social time in the undisclosed area. Link was fiddling with the new radio that Dr. Cockroach had built from his garbage leftovers while B.O.B. was napping on the ground and the Doctor was making observation notes over his sleeping form. Link kept banging and banging on the back of the makeshift device, but the only station he could get was an old-fashioned romantic story.
"Guragh! Dangit! Gimme the sports station! New music! Weather updates! Anything!" Link yelled as he continuously shook the radio.
"Yes... Keep shaking it, the third hour's the charm."
Link glared at Dr. Cockroach, "You built this thing, no wonder it's a piece of junk."
"It's made from junk, there is a difference. Be happy you're getting anything at all given that we're as far away from the ionosphere as we could possibly be." Dr. Cockroach continued to watch B.O.B. closely, excitedly jumping up and rushing to make new notes as B.O.B. snored and turned over, scratching his backside.
"The ion-no-whozawhatzis?" Link shook his head, "Listen Doc, as exciting as it must be to watch the blue guy count sheep there's gotta be more interesting things to do here."
"Ha! As if Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate could count sheep." Dr. Cockroach chuckled as a blue snot bubble came from B.O.B.'s face. He then happily popped the bubble with some old tweezers and dropped his specimen in a spare glass tube he kept in his front pocket. "It's a wonder that he can even talk at all."
"Yeah, he's not the brightest blue...blob...thing...guy I've ever met, but seriously what's going on in that guy's brain?"
Dr. Cockroach turned his back to Link, slumping his shoulders in a deep sigh. "Link... There's something... different about our dear friend."
Link's face turned into a horrified expression. "No... No... You don't mean-"
Dr. Cockroach placed his hand on Link's shoulder, "You may want to sit down for this."
Link swatted his hand away, "Just tell me what it is Doc!" He shook the Doctor by the shoulders staring straight into his eyes, "I can handle it."
"Well... you see..."
"Yes?"
"He came to us..."
"Yes?" Link's voice rose higher in anticipation.
"Without..."
"Yes?" Link began to squeak.
"...A brain!" Dr. Cockroach blurted out, raising an out-of-nowhere x-ray over B.O.B.'s head and pointing at the emptiness of the outline. "I mean, how can you go on in life without a brain!?"
Link glared at the Doctor with a quizzical expression, "A... Brain? That's it? Seriously?"
"Yes! It's a serious matter my dear Darwinius masillae! A brain is extremely important in the matters of organic biometrics!"
"Listen Doc..." Link swung his arm around Dr. Cockroach's shoulder and chuckled, "You need to get out more. Plenty of people are going around without a brain these days, and I'm just talking about Coco Beach here."
"Really?" Dr. Cockroach pipped up curiously.
"My first day back over half the girls I swam with thought I was their dad. The other half thought I was a chef or something, they kept yelling 'walking dinner' at me. Weirdos."
"Uh...huh."
"I make the single mistake of saying I busted out of my twelve-million-year ice prison just once and 'Bam!' here I am."
"Hmm... maybe brains are overrated after all..." Dr. Cockroach's antennea drooped down in dejection.
"Exactly my point!" Link smiled proudly.
Meanwhile, the sleeping blue mass behind the two monsters began to slowly stir, but never opened his eye. "Hey...guys...?"
"Oh! Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate, are you awake?"
"Uhh... I'm not sure. I forgot how to wake up." B.O.B. then started panicking, "Help me guys! Help me! I don't want to be trapped in the sleeping darkness forever!" B.O.B. then jumped off the table with his eye still closed and began feeling around until he found the guys and held them very tightly.
"Ah... Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate..." Dr. Cockroach wheezed struggling to breathe.
"Doc? Doc! Is that you?! I miss you..." B.O.B. started hugging both of them tighter making them turn different shades of blue.
"Ughrf! Blue dude! Just open your eye will ya!?" Link yelled with his last breath.
B.O.B. then opened his eye and released the two his grasp and they both fell to the floor panting. Dr. Cockroach then glared at Link.
"Ok, ok maybe brains are useful after all."
B.O.B. stood over both of them, "Hey you guys! You're blue like me! Is it blue day today? I wish I was blue too..." B.O.B. yawned and stretched his arms, "Man, when was the last time I took a nap?" He then instantly fell asleep on the floor and started snoring.
Link and Dr. Cockroach looked at each other in a mix of confusion and fear.
"I have some experiments I left unstarted-err... unfinished in my room, let me get ri~ght to them!"
"And...uhh... I have about 50 laps to do in my pool before the water gets...too...umm...wet."
Both then dashed away before B.O.B. could wake up again.
