Won't You Please Make A Movie?(Part 4)
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.
"Rain. Rain? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?" Ika panicked, looking up at the sky she saw the clouds were now black and gray as countless and countless raindrops kept on pouring down on the beach.
"Everybody this way, you'll be dry there! Hurry up and get out of the water!" Eiko shouted out, waving and pointing towards the beach house. Everyone headed out of the waters and got their stuff, making their way to the Lemon Beach House for shelter and comfort.
She then runs over to the door and tries to unlock it while Chizuru is getting the other cameras. "I got the footage." She said smiling.
"Now's not the time to boast about your filming skills." Eiko replied as she was searching through her set of keys to find the right one used to unlock the door.
"Hmm, is the door even locked sis?"
"Well of course it is, why it wouldn't be I don't have a—"
The door opens from the inside and Nagisa steps out wondering what on Earth is going on. "Huh, so now people are showing up..."
"Nagisa, what are you doing in there?" The red-head seemed surprised. "You do realize you have a day-off, right?"
"Oh, I didn't know that, I thought that was tomorrow. I guess that explains why no one was coming..."
"HURRY!" Someone from the crowd cried and tried to get in, the others ran past the girls (Ika included) and headed on inside.
"Is everybody in?" Eiko checked to see if there was anyone missing. And that's when Chizuru notices something.
"Hey, where's Takeru? I haven't seen him go in yet."
"Yeah, and the same could go for Goro and Sanae..."
"Holy crap, he's near the water!" Nagisa gasped.
The two sisters quickly turned to see their little brother was trying to swim toward the shaky waves for some reason. "Takeru, what are you doing?" Eiko cried. "Get out of there, you'll get hurt!"
"But I can't just leave these two out in the sea!" Takeru protested.
"Sure you could, it would be cruel, depressing, and completely out of character for us to do so, but we could do it."
"Eiko, he's trying to save your friend and Ika's stalker friend, be a little more reasonable..." Chizuru shook her head.
"Ah, alright, you want my help or something?"
"Uh, let me see..." Takeru tried to pick the two up, but failed. Then he tried to convince them to get out of the waters. "Come on you guys, we gotta get out of here."
"Eh, we've tried, you know, and we just can't do it." Goro wheezed.
"And besides, my costume is way too heavy, you should just leave us here to die and rot in peace." Sanae added.
"Yeah, I need your help." Takeru replied to his older sister.
"Alright then. Hey Goro, Sanae, Chizuru and Ika are already inside the beach house snuggling in the warm air conditioner and are drying off!"
"Um, am I? Actually I'm still standing—" Chizuru started her sentence.
"Quiet and get in with your cameras..."
"Ok then."
"So, uh, if you don't hurry up, you won't get to go on with them and cuddle until it stops raining~"
"WE'RE COMING~" Goro and Sanae immediately got up from the ground and started running on towards the shack.
"Uh oh, it looks like you're too late—"
"NOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Calm down I was just kidding. Sheesh..."
"YAAAAAAAAAAY!" Goro, Sanae, and Takeru make it back to the shack safe and sound.
Eiko enters also and closes the door behind her, making sure that it doesn't break or anything like that.

The gang stays there for a while, waiting for the storm to pass on through.
"Hmm, it doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon..." Nagisa sighed.
"Yeah, we might have to cancel this movie for now..." Eiko added. "But we didn't even finish the first act yet!" Ika complained.
"Sorry about this Ika, but it looks like we have no other option."
"Aw man, and I was really looking forward to the big climax at the end too..."
"Well, why don't I prepare you guys some food while were waiting for the rain to go away?" Chizuru suggested.
"Yes please, I'd love to have some of your cooking!" Goro replied happily.
The others agreed and she left to go bake and make in the back. They sat there patiently as the rain continued to pour down from the sky and the lights were flicking on and off.
"Why is it doing that?" Takeru looked up at the ceiling and noticed the lights.
"Probably cause of the heavy rain. I don't think it'll get any better unfortunately..." Eiko replied.
"I sure hope we don't get a blackout..."
"Yeah, me too."
"Sorry for the wait, here are some meals to keep you guys occupied." Chizuru finally finished the foods that she was making. She asks Nagisa and Ika to come over and give them to the others. Ya know, since there job is to- know what let's move on.
Nagisa and Ika agree and set out the dishes to some specific tables as they eat and drink through the supposed storm. While chowing down an older lady stared at some cameras Chizuru brought in and noticed something a little odd about it. "Um, excuse me miss?"
"Hai?" Chizuru asked from afar.
"What are these supposed to be?"
"My, there film cameras, we were making a movie."
"How very nice."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door coming from the other side of the Lemon House.
"Huh? I thought we got everyone... Who could that possibly be?" Nagisa pondered at the thought of more people being outside. 'Oh no... what if Ika's got more allies of her kind and they came from out of the ocean to enslave us all? This would be a golden opportunity and we can't even escape this scenario! WE'RE DOOMED!' She went into a panic.
"Oh, I'll go get it..." Eiko gets up and walks over to the door.
"NOOOOO, DON'T DO IIIIIIT!" Nagisa leaps in the way to prevent her from going anywhere nearer to the door.
"Huh? Nagisa what seems to be the problem?"
"Don't open the door, there could be evil squid people outside trying to kill us all!"
"Really? Squid people?" Ika got excited. "Open the door for them Eiko, your movie star queen demands it de-geso~"
"No, please don't do it! I don't want you all to get pulverized!" Nagisa cried.
"You've been watching too many scary movies..." Eiko muttered, and then sighed. "Alright, just to be safe, I'll ask who is behind the door, ok?"
The door knocks again. "Hello? Can somebody let us in?" It asked.
Eiko moves past her friend and answers it. "Uh, yeah hi, how are you?"
"Pretty cold, me and my assistants were trying to find you guys and would like to go inside with you, where it isn't cold and wet..."
"Uh huh and how do I know you aren't secretly aliens?"
"Aliens, what are you talking about? Eiko it's us, we heard your friend, who's the real alien might I add, was making a movie and we'd like to help her achieve that goal."
"Ah, no worries Nagisa, it's just Cindy and her three—"
"Where'd you hear that from? I never told anyone but the people in here!" Ika interrupted.
"Uh... Chizuru told me?" Cindy replied.
"WHAT? Chizuru you said you would never tell anybody!"
"No I didn't."
"Oh, well then why did you tell them anyway!? I told you I didn't want them to be a part of all this!"
"Well, I thought their technology would make things much simpler for your movie, that's all."
"But what if the complete opposite happens?
Chizuru slowly opens her eyes slightly. "Oh, don't you worry; I'll make sure that doesn't happen..."
"So, uh, will you let us in now?" Cindy pleaded.
"Sure, but only if you finally admit that I'm not an alien." Ika advised.
"But—"
"Say 'I'm not an alien', and I'll let you in."
"I'm not an alien." Cindy and her assistants replied.
"No, no, no, say 'you are not an alien.'"
"You are not an—"
"GET IT RIGHT SQUID IT!"
"Can we come in now? Please!?"
"Ugh, fine." Eiko opens the door as Cindy and her three trio of assistants (also nicknamed The Three Stooges) Clark, Martin, and Harris arrive right on the dot dripping soaking wet.
"Phew, and here I thought we would never make it back inside..." Cindy sighed in relief.
"Same here!" The Three Stooges cried in harmony.
"Yeah, whatever," Ika brushed it off quickly before getting into some real business. "Alright so I heard you guys wanted to help me in my total domination on movie making?"
"Yes, we have invented some machinery that can help give you some real effects..." Clark started off.
"... which can make anything look more real and epic..." Martin continued.
"...and you won't have to worry about using CGI to make it look fake and give the people less interest in your product!" Harris finished.
"Oh really, and what is that special invention that'll make things more real, might I ask?" Ika crossed her arms, so far not impressed with what their saying.
"This!" The Stooges showed them a plastic bag with some rubber, glue, and a stick of dynamite in it.
"What the heck!? That looks more like something you'd buy at a freaking store not a real invention!" Eiko protested in shock.
"Oh, uh, actually that's because we really did buy these at a store... my bad." Cindy scratched the back of her head in embarrassment.
"Good grief..."
"This is our real invention...!" The blonde scientist presented them with a rocket launcher that the Stooges pulled out of nowhere.
"WHAT THE FLIPPER!?"
"So, what do you think? This puppy contains lots of firepower and it also has a flamethrower and coffee holder."
"Well that seems reasonable enough." Ayumi's father joked.
"Hell no, there is no way I'm endangering these people and this beach all for some stupid movie, you can't use that!" Eiko exclaimed angrily.
Cindy and the assistants frowned at the response. "Aw man, but its—"
"No buts! I don't even think Ika herself would allow you do to something like that!"
"Yeah, even if I wanted to, I can't because it's krill raining outside de-geso~" Ika pouted.
"Not to worry, we had a hunch that this might happen..." Clark stated.
"So for emergencies we had made another invention that can fix those problems..." Martin took down a cover from the sidelines [which oddly enough looked like a table the beach house would use. In fact was that even theirs that they just used?] and showed them the machine underneath. "Behold the Weather Changer 9000!"
"This puppy can make any weather of your choice, any time, any day, and anywhere! All you have to do adjust the specific setting and then step on the platform in the middle and bam! Weather change." Harris finished.
The device looked more like a sanctum of spells or sacrifice [like in those TV shows] than an actual weather changing device. "But wait, how did you manage to get it here without it crashing or malfunctioning?" Nagisa asked.
"Simple, it's waterproof." Cindy replied. "So, shall we test this bad boy outside then?"
"You mean you haven't tested it yet to see if it's safe!?"
"We didn't have enough time..."
Rain continued to pour down, heavier this time around. "Oh my, who knows how long it'll take for this rain to stop. We might just have to go home and call it a day..." Chizuru sighed sadly.
Ika was getting worried. If they had used the device the Beach House might collapse. If they don't use it then they never finish the movie. Wait a minute, why should she care? It doesn't matter if the place is destroyed, that's what she wanted in the film right? That way it'll look more realistic and people would find her more frightening! "We have no choice, we'll take our chances!" Ika chimed in. "How will we set this one up?"
"Are you crazy?" Eiko asked. "Do you have any idea what you're doing?"
"Yeah, trying to save my movie!"
'I should have just left them outside...'
"Excellent suggestion!" Cindy brightened up. "So boys, would you please go and set it up outside?"
"Eh? Why do we have to? We'll get wet again, won't we?" They asked.
"Well, because I've had a rough day today, I'm the one who even thought up the idea, and I never heard you guys complaining about the rain or wanting to get in!"
"Oh, you have a point there... very well, we'll take this outside and change the weather for you guys, be right back!"
The Three Stooges walked off and took the device with them outside. Ika followed them just to make sure it works properly... and to also avoid getting possibly hurt in The Beach House.
