Skipper Shelton took the kids and Jabberjaw to his boat.
"Alright, now hop aboard mateys!" He said. "We've got ourselves a sea beast to catch."
"I hope you know you're doing, Ahab." Shelly remarked. "Otherwise, we're just running on a wild crab chase."
"Now Shelly, there's no need to be so crabby." Bubbles laughed.
Everybody glared at Bubbles for the awful pun.
"Sorry." She gulped.
"Either way, let's get moving." Biff said. "We don't have all day!"
The kids all climbed onto the boat and joined Shelton in sailing the boat.
Meanwhile, Marilyn had just started her new job as a cart attendant.
"Alright Ms. Sanchez, put all these carts into the store and if you do a good job by the end of the day, we'll put you aboard the team." said the manager.
"Yes sir." Marilyn nodded.
"Then, let's get moving, Ms. Sanchez." The manager said. "We don't have all morning."
"Right away, sir." Marilyn quickly said.
Marilyn started to gather up carts from around the parking lot. It was a very busy day at the store, so the parking lot was filled to the brim with carts. Taking a deep breath, Marilyn proceeded to reach for the closest carts and get them together.
After a long while of gathering them, she finally got all the carts back into the store, only for the customers to immediately take them as soon as they were inside.
"Oh..." She groaned. "Guess I gotta start all over again."
Marilyn exhaled once more before proceeding to reach for the closest carts and get them together again.
Back on the boat, Shelton and the kids were searching all over for the crab monster.
"Where are ya, ya filthy sea beast?" Shelton looked through his spyglass. "Show yer ugly face!"
"If you're looking for Shelly, she's right over there!" Clamhead pointed to Shelly, who was reading a magazine.
Upon hearing that remark, Shelly took off her shades and glared at her band mate.
"Skipper, are you you know where you're going?" Biff asked Shelton.
"Of course I do!" Shelton replied. "It's just a matter of the filthy sea beast showing itself and comin' back to fight like a man!"
"Or a crab." Bubbles giggled.
"Don't ye lubbers worry, I will capture that crab and bring him to justice!" Shelton proclaimed.
Hours later, our heroes were still sailing and nothing had come out at all.
"Are we having fun, yet?" Shelly said sarcastically.
"Yeah, this is getting boring since its hours and nothing in sight." Clam yawned.
"Uh, Skipper." Jabberjaw tapped on the skipper's shoulder. "Far be it for me to complain, but I don't see that monster anywhere."
"Argh, be patient matey, the beast ''tis pretty sneaky." Shelton said. "He could be anywhere."
"Maybe, but perhaps we can make the beast come to us, instead of the other way around." suggested Jabber.
"No, that's a ridiculous idea." Shelton shook his head. "But what if we make the beast come to us, instead of the other way around?"
"Say, that's not a bad idea." Bubbles said. "Wish we'd have thought of that before."
"Yeah, sure wish I did." Jabber looked at the audience.
"Well, what are you suggesting we do to lure the beast over to us, Skipper?" Clam asked.
"It be quite simple, boy!" Shelton proclaimed. "To draw a beast, you need bait!"
"Bait? What kind of bait?" asked Biff.
"Well this ain't no ordinary creature of the deep!" Shelton explained. "Ya need live bait! Not some little old worm!"
"And I know just the bait to use." Shelly looked at Jabberjaw.
"Say, what're you looking at, Shell?" He asked.
Shelly said nothing as her smile formed into a smirk, and Jabber was starting to not like the looks of it.
"Of course." He sighed.
Author's Note:
As usual, it's up to Jabber to be part of Shelly's brilliant plan. How could this turn out? Stay tuned!
