Chapter 9

"Let's play in the water! C'mon, let's go! Come on... Please?" Harry and Siddeley were saying to Finn, Leland, and Holley, who were lying on towels trying to enjoy the nice weather.

"Sid, we don't want to." Finn rolled his eyes, putting on sunglasses.

"Yet, at least." Holley added, having done the same to block out the harsh sun and was leaning back on her arms. She had also slipped on jean shorts over her suit earlier, uncomfortable in it. Oh well, they weren't being graded or anything… Right?

Siddeley sighed. "What about you, Leland?"

Leland didn't respond, so Siddeley repeated his name. "Leland?"

Finn leaned over to hear slight snoring coming from Leland.

"I think Leland may be asleep..." Finn observed.

"I'll take care of this." Siddeley said with a sigh. "Harry, hand me that—"

"Sid, no! Not again!" Finn cut him off.

"What? Again?" Holley sat up. "What again?"

"...crab and sunscreen..." Siddeley finished.

Holley and Harry stared at him.

"That's Sid for you." Finn said, lying back down.

"Come on, Harry, let's go." Siddeley frowned, giving up.

"Gladly. Have fun sleeping!" Harry followed Siddeley towards the water.

Wait a minute, Holley thought. Harry and Sid are gone, Leland's asleep, so that means I'm alone with…

Holley glanced over at Finn to see him looking over at her, as well. They both quickly looked away.

Finn had been thinking similarly.

They quickly looked away from each other and pretended to occupy themselves with other things.

"So..." Finn tried filling the awkward silence.

"So?" Holley repeated.

"Nice…genetically altered weather we're having..."

Holley giggled. "Yeah."

They sat quietly once more.

The two once again lied back down on their towels, soaking up the warm sun. Holley stifled a yawn.

"Hey..." After a while of almost dozing off, Holley decided to sit up and look around for Harry and Siddeley. Not seeing them anywhere, she swatted near Finn to get his attention. "W-where's Harry and Sid?"

Finn followed her gaze. Sid and Harry were nowhere to be seen. He looked at the time, then over his shoulder.

"It's noon." He said. "Maybe they went with everyone else to lunch." He gathered, seeing they were the only ones on the beach.

Holley shook her head. "If I know Harry, he wouldn't be hungry. He sneaks food into the bus for field trips. And since Sid was sitting next to him…"

"Then neither of them went." Finn finished.

"Wake up Leland, let's go look for them. Maybe they buried each other in the sand somewhere."

"Alright. Hand me that crab and the sunscreen." Finn said.

Holley looked at him with a raised eyebrow and an expression that clearly said, "really?"

"...right, bad idea." He then decided to simple shake Leland awake.

"Ah, exploding cinnamon rolls!" Leland exclaimed, bolting into an upright position. Finn rolled his eyes.

"C'mon, let's go!" Holley demanded impatiently.

"Oh, are we going to play in the water, too?" Leland asked. Sarcasm was apparent in his tone.

"Sort of." Finn helped Leland to his feet.

The three of them began running to the sea, but stopped when they saw a large area of the water suddenly covered in bubbles.

"What in the...?" Finn started to say, but was interrupted.

"A giant squid?!" The three of them screamed in broken unison.

"How the bloody hell is that even possible?!" Leland ran his hand through his red hair.

"Chemical waste…?!" Holley suggested.

"Alright, but how did—Oh my god!" Finn exclaimed as he noticed what the squid was holding in it's rolled up tentacle.

Siddeley and Harry were screaming and desperately trying to get out of the squid's grip.

"We can't fight a giant squid...! Can we?" Holley asked.

"Maybe! The odds would be..." Leland started doing math in his head.

"Oh, give math a rest a think of a way out of this!" Finn demanded.

"Alright, alright!"

"I've got it!" Holley's face lit up, thinking back to last week. The Spanish exchange student had been warning everyone about giant squids. She fished her phone out of her pocket and looked through it. Finn and Leland huddled around her to see what she was doing.

"Good thing all CHROME students are on speed dial..." Holley said to herself. She selected a name and brought her phone up to her ear. "Pablo, we need your help. Can you get down here?" Holley asked.

The three of them froze and slowly turned around when they heard breathing inches behind them. They were now face to face with Pablo.

"I'm already here." He whispered, somewhat creepily.

"O… O-okay… Holley stammered, a little freaked out, to say the least. "U-um… Anyway, we…"

"We need your help." Leland cut in.

"With what?" Pablo tilted his head to the side.

"That." Finn pointed behind him, not turning around to look where the squid was.

"Oh. A giant squid. Typical of England." He scoffed, and the three brits exchanged a glance. "Hand me that crab and sunscreen."

"I guess Sid was right about the—"

Leland cut Finn off. "Don't bring that up again." He said, giving Finn a cold glare.

Pablo threw the now slippery crab at the giant squid. It dropped Harry and Harry, well... Freaked out. He screamed as he fell towards the water. With a shout of his name, Holley ran towards the water in Harry's direction. She threw her phone down on the sand before practically diving into the water and running.

The squid made a grab for her but she jumped out of the way.

"PABLO! How do we fight this thing?!" Holley cried as she flipped over another giant tentacle.

"Holley, watch out!" Finn warned. Holley spun around to see another tentacle coming towards her. She was in deeper water, and it was getting harder to dodge.

She managed to jump to the side just in time.

"That's it, I'm going to help her." Finn declared, running after Holley.

"Harry!" Holley exclaimed as her brother came into view. She was now actually swimming, the water getting deeper and deeper.

"Are you alright?" She asked. Harry clung to her, panting.

"Ye-yeah. I think so." He frowned.

"Let's go back to shore." She smiled, and they began swimming back to the beach as fast as they could.

Next thing Holley knew, the squid had grabbed her.

"Holley!" Both Harry and Finn cried.

"Let go of me you bloody—!"

"Hey, Holley."

Siddeley was not far from her.

"Siddeley? Hi..." Holley looked around. "You know, it's actually not that bad up here."

"Yeah, once you get used to the freaky feel of the suction cups and being so high up..." Siddeley said. He was looking a bit bored, his head resting on his hand, elbow leaning on the squid's tentacle.

Meanwhile, back on the ground, Finn and Harry had made it back to shore.

"This is bad. The squid will go under soon." Pablo warned.

"What? What do we do?!" Leland asked.

"Scratch that; it's going under now." Pablo observed, and Sid and Holley screamed as the squid went back under the ocean.

Dun dun dun. Keep in mind, there's a scientific reason for the giant squid in this instance. Alright? It's not magic. :P

The "I'm already here" belongs to MimiMcAwesome. You rock, Mimi! :) Thanks for letting me use that! :D
