A 'Pre'-historic experience
part 4
:
As Shelly walked down to the lagoon with her basket of laundry, Yoko followed her from behind.
Once they got there, Shelly got to work on the clothes. Yoko waded into the lagoon to cool off. The sun was not up to high but the jungle around the lagoon was still hot and humid.
It didn't take long for the human girl to feel the heat and sweat run down the side of her head and into her eyes. She pushed her blond hair out of her face and wiped the sweat from over her eyes.
The rest of her clothes would have to wait. She couldn't take this heat any longer.
After she was done, Shelly folded her wet clothes on a branch and started to get undressed. She left on only her undershirt and underwear, of course, and wadded into the lagoon with Yoko. The water was shallow where she stood but it was deep enough so that the water was just around her thighs.
It felt nice! The heat from the jungle had really disheveled her hair.
Shelly washed it, dunking her hair under the water and bringing it back up, letting the wetness flow over he face and body. She shook her head, enjoying the cool water splash everywhere.
It had been good to be out of the stifling hot tent. The night had not been very cool.
And having the warm body of Yoko by her side had not helped. Shelly hadn't counted on the young T-rex to be warm at all. She always thought that dinosaurs were cold-blooded animals.
"I guess we don't know as much as we know about dinosaurs," Shelly said to herself as she did her hair again. Her undershirt was wet now, but she didn't care. The warm jungle air would soon dry off her underclothes when she had them taken off and brought back to the camp. For now she was content on staying at the lagoon for the whole morning and afternoon.
While Shelly watched Yoko splash around in the shallows of the lagoon, a lagoon eel was swimming right towards her.
Shelly didn't see it coming because it was swimming up from behind her. The water of the lagoon was clear as crystal so that spotting anything swimming would be easily seen.
The eel swam closer and closer until...
"Yikes!" Shelly yelped and felt her breath catch as she felt something slimy and wiggly swim up her underwear from behind. She stood still, unable to move for fearing that whatever it was might bite her.
Yoko heard her and waded over to her.
Shelly turned on her translator device on her ear.
"Shelly, what happened?" Said Yoko as he shook some water off of him.
Shelly brought her hands up in a feeble-like gesture and looked down at Yoko.
"Yoko, some kind of creature has just swum up my underwear. I'm guessing...it might be a snake or something."
"Oh. That's bad," Said Yoko, scratching the back of his head with his two- clawed hand.
"Aren't you going to do something, little guy?"
Yoko rolled his eyes and waded around Shelly until he was behind her. He took a claw and grabbed the rim of Shelly's underwear and pulled it back. Looking down, he saw something dark and snake-like wiggling within the crack of her backside.
Yoko recognized it at once as a lagoon eel. These eels were good eating but were hard to catch in the lagoon. His mother rarely fed him and his siblings eel because they were difficult to grab in the jaws. But boy, were they ever good!
The eel, sensing that it was in danger, slithered out of reach from Yoko's jaws, which tried to snap at the eel's tail. The slippery water sneak slithered to the front of Shelly's underwear, coiling around the thigh of her leg.
Shelly let out another sharp yelp as she felt the eel move to her front. Looking down, she saw a bulge in her underwear which was moving around. Shelly felt herself blush and her body trembled uncontrollably from the feel of the eel's body against her pelvic area.
Yoko moved to the front of her and pulled at the rim of Shelly's underwear again. This time the tail of the eel stuck out on the side a little and Yoko took that chance to shove his hand down a little into Shelly's underwear.
Shelly felt her face get warm.
At first she wanted to protest at this, but the eel was the only thing now that was important.
"Careful, Yoko," Shelly cautioned as her cheeks flashed red. "Watch your claws, little guy."
"Don't worry, Shelly," Said Yoko as he moved his hand around to grab the eel. "This eel won't get away from me!"
"Ooh! Easy, little guy!"
:
Meanwhile, Ken was on his way down to the lagoon as well. He needed a nice, cold bath after a night of blistering uneasy sleep. The sleeping bag he had been sleeping on had been completely soaked with his sweat overnight. It had made his night in the camp unpleasant.
Since Josiah was busy at the camp cleaning up, Ken told him he was going down to the lagoon for a swim. Josiah said it was okay by him just so long as Ken was careful.
The ten year old time kid was thankful that no other dinosaurs were around during this time of day. Especially Momma the tyrannosaur. He bet the dinosaur mother was feeling the heat just as much as he and his sister were.
He arrived at the lagoon and was thankful that the area was clear of any dinosaurs. He was about to undress himself and dive right into that lagoon, when he heard a voice. His sister's voice. And it was coming from near the shore of the lagoon. He also heard a chattering squeaking that sounded an awful lot like one of baby tyrannosaurs.
Putting on his translator device, Ken made his way over toward a group of bushes and peeked through them to see into the lagoon.
He saw his sister, half naked in thigh-high water, with Yoko, who was at that moment...
"What the..." Ken gasped quietly.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing. Yoko had his scaly little clawed hand in Shelly's underwear! At first he didn't want to believe it, but there it was right in front of him.
He listened in on what the two of them were saying and almost threw up in his throat.
"Just a little lower, Yoko,"
"I can feel it, Shelly, hold on."
"Easy, little guy, that spot is tender,"
"I won't hurt you unless you move around a lot like that, Shelly."
"A little to the left. That's it."
Ken had heard and seen enough! He turned and stormed back to camp, his mind furious and disgusted of what he had just witnessed. His own sister had a dinosaur's clawed hand down her underwear and had been enjoying it!
He knew that Shelly was thirteen and all now, but allowing Yoko to fondle her in her underwear like that...
He shook his head to clear that kind of thought from his mind. He didn't want to jump to any conclusions or anything, but it did look like Yoko had been rubbing her in her underwear. And his sister in turn had been urging him on to do it.
Ken decided that he would have a few words to say to his sister and that tyrannosaur when they got back to camp.
Ken didn't want to tell Josiah. He would just get all upset that he was spying on his sister while she was bathing and that he had no right invading her privacy like that. Josiah was like that sometimes. He usually took Shelly's side instead of his.
Well, not this time.
:
Back at the lagoon, Yoko had nearly gotten the eel out. The young tyrannosaur had caught the slippery thing by it's tail and had started to pull it out.
Shelly remained still so that the eel wouldn't swim up her underwear anywhere else. Jeez, she didn't want it swimming up her...
"Got it!" Yoko exclaimed. The tyrannosaur had the eel in his sharp little teeth and had started to tug.
Shelly felt the eel being pulled out from between her legs and out from her underwear.
But the slippery fish had other ideas.
The eel opened it's mouth, exposing a row of sharp teeth, and bit down on the hem of Shelly's underwear.
Shelly gasped and bit her lip.
"Yoko, it's got my underwear in its teeth," Shelly whimpered quickly, her eyes wide. "Get it off, hurry."
Yoko growled and tugged harder on the eel's body, but the fish would not let go.
Shelly looked and saw the front of her underwear stretching, along with the eel. Summoning up her courage, Shelly took hold of the eel's head in both of her hands and tried to pull it off.
Still the eel refused to let go of her. Yoko growled again and pulled even harder.
There was a tearing sound and Shelly looked down in time to see the hem of underwear beginning to rip.
"No! It's going to rip!" She cried, desperately trying to pull the eel off.
Shelly couldn't afford to have her underclothes ripped or torn. Her parents would skin her alive.
Yoko heard Shelly's desperate cry and had soon had enough of this stubborn eel. He bit down as hard as he could with his teeth and felt blood flow over his tongue. The eel stopped wiggling and with a short spasm, let go of Shelly's underwear and splashed into the water. The nasty fish lay motionless in Yoko's jaws, blood oozing out from the corner of his lips.
Shelly relaxed and immediately got out of the lagoon, hitching up her underwear as she went.
Yoko followed her as he started eating the dead eel.
Once she was on shore, Shelly grabbed her towel, wrapped it around herself, and sat down on the ground. She let out a breath and looked at Yoko who was still eating the eel.
"Hows the taste?" Shelly asked.
Yoko paused mid chew. "It's great, Shelly. You should try some."
Shelly waved a hand at him. "No thanks, Yoko. I'd rather not."
Yoko shrugged. "Very well. Please yourself, Shelly. But your missing out on a good meal. Momma always told me and my brother and sister that we are suppose to chew an eel whenever we ate it. We don't swallow it whole or else one of us could end up with the tummy-rumbles for days."
"Uh, thanks for the details, Yoko, but I didn't need to hear that bit of information," Shelly said as she dried herself off. "Anyway, thanks for getting that eel out of my underwear, little guy."
Yoko belched and bits of eel meat flew from his jaws. "Your welcome, Shelly."
Shelly laughed.
"Come on, little guy," She got up and went to retrieve her laundry. "Let's get back to camp."
The both of them left the lagoon and made their way up the trail to the campsite.
Once they got there, Shelly went into her tent to get changed.
Yoko remained outside to wait for her, still licking his claws from his meal.
Josiah was awake now and was busy tending to the fire pit in the middle of the camp. Ken was with him but didn't seem to be doing much work.
He had been glaring at his sister's tent for a full five minutes until Shelly came out of the tent, fully dressed.
Ken needed to talk to her. So when she sat down next to him on the picnic bench, he tried to do just that.
"How was your laundry cleaning, sis?" He asked, opening the conversation as innocently as possible.
"It was fine, Ken," Was her answer.
"Nice experience having a dinosaur put his scaly hand down your undies, isn't it?" Ken said straight off without hesitation.
Shelly turned slowly to face her little brother, her eyes wide with suspicion and surprise.
"Why did you say that, Ken?" She demanded.
"Because I saw that little perverted tyrannosaur with his hand down your underwear at the lagoon!" He shot back.
Shelly got off the bench and stood angrily to face her brother.
"You were spying on me?!" She said shrilly. "What gives you the right to spy on your own sister?"
"What gives you the right to allow one of the baby tyrannosaurs to put his clawed hand down your undies and fondle you?!"
Ken was suddenly on his feet as well, his hands clenched into fists.
"He didn't do no such thing, Ken!" Shelly yelled, spit flying from her mouth. "And why were you spying on me in the first place, uh?! Hoping to catch me in the nude while I bathed?!"
"No!" Ken shot back, almost letting out a laugh. "But I know what I saw, Shelly."
"I don't care what you saw," She spat at him. "You had no right spying on me like that! And F.Y.I, little brother, Yoko was not fondling me. He had his hand in my underwear to help try to get an eel out of it."
Ken snorted. "A likely story!"
Shelly was about say something, when Josiah came up to the both of them, his face hard. Both stopped arguing.
"What's going on, you two? Why are you guys at each others throats at this time in the morning, huh?"
Both kids looked down, their faces angry.
Since neither sibling was talking, Josiah decided to get some answers.
"Shelly, what's going here?"
Shelly looked up and pointed a finger at her brother.
"Ken here was sneaking around like a peeping tom at the lagoon while I was doing my laundry and was about to bath. He thinks Yoko over there," She jabbed thumb at the young tyrannosaur. "Was fondling me in my underwear, but that's not true."
Josiah blinked, his mouth open.
"Is it?" He asked, his hands on his hips.
Shelly blushed and said in a quite voice, "Well, he was. But not like that, Josiah."
"Then what, Shelly?" Was his reply.
"There was an eel that swam-up my underwear from behind me while I was bathing." Shelly explained. "I didn't want to get it out myself so I asked Yoko to do it for me."
Josiah nodded.
"I see," He said. "But why didn't you just wait for it to swim out instead? Or better yet, take it out yourself?"
"Are you kidding me, Clover?" Shelly said, holding up her hands. "I maybe a tomboy, but I am not touching a slimy eel."
Josiah almost laughed, but kept his face stern.
"Shelly, you should not have had Yoko do that. We may not be in 2010 right now, but having a dinosaur stick it's hand down your underwear like Yoko had done was not right. Do you understand?"
Shelly nodded. "Yes, I do,"
"I hope you do, girl," Said Josiah. He was looking at Shelly more seriously. "I would hate to have to tell your mom and dad that their only daughter was having a wardrobe malfunction in the dinosaur world in the ice age because of an eel problem in a lagoon."
Shelly felt her face redden, but said nothing.
Josiah than rounded on Ken.
"As for you Ken," And his voice was angry. "I'm shocked and disgusted that you would peep on your own sister like that."
"But I saw Yoko-"
"I DON'T GIVE A HOWLING HOOT!" He shouted in Ken's face, so loudly that a flock of birds flew out of a nearby tree in fright. "You were spying on your sister like a perv in the jungle. Your own sister!"
Ken took a step back, a look of apprehension on his face.
"But I..I.."
"But nothing, Ken Blake! What were you trying to do, boy? Start up trouble?"
Ken looked down at his feet.
Josiah let out a exasperated breath.
"This matter IS closed, you guys." He said finally. "Do you understand? You both will stay in camp for a while until I say so, got it?"
The both of them nodded.
The day had not gone right for Shelly at all. First the eel, then Ken spying on her, and now Josiah disappointed at both of them. And now they had to stay in camp.
Shelly went back to her tent and went inside. Yoko tried to follow her but Josiah grabbed him by the tail to stop him.
"Go back to your mother, Yoko," He said not unkindly. "I think it's best that you don't come back to our camp for a while until this whole mess is cleared up, you understand?"
Yoko let out a sad whimper. He nodded and left the camp and went back to Lava Falls.
Within her tent, Shelly saw the shadow of Yoko leaving the camp.
She sighed and rested her head on her pillow. It had not been a good day.
And most of all was that Shelly hadn't meant for any of this to happen.
She only hoped that tomorrow would be better.
