The Beach Part 2
Reese approaches the pretty, dark haired girl sunbathing on a purple blanket.
Reese: So does it hurt?
Girl: Does what hurt?
Reese: Falling from heaven!
Girl: Ooh, nice pickup line!
Reese: Thanks. I'm Reese, by the way.
Girl: I'm Morgan. Hey, look at the pretty starfangle!
Reese: Uh, I think you mean starfish.
Morgan: Wow, you're so smart!
Reese: No one's ever told me that before!
Morgan: Well, as Allan Einstein once said, "There's a first time for everything"!
Reese: Hey, what's that in the water?
Morgan: What?
Reese: That gray thing…..is that a shark??????????
Morgan: I don't know, you're the smart one!
A gray figure swims quickly through the ocean. It has a large fin that shines in the sun. Could it be…..a shark?
Malcolm: And I thought that this would be a good day!
Running towards Malcolm is a Krelboyne math whiz that has a crush on him, Flor Mayesh. Her idea of flirting is throwing out equations for him to solve. She looks pale and out of place at the beach.
Flor: Hey Malcolm, what's the square root of the area of an isosceles triangle that has a perimeter of 286 cm?
Malcolm: What are you doing here?
Flor: Researching what stupider members of the human race do on weekends. And you?
Malcolm: Watching my brothers. Uh, I'd really love to chat, but……………I've got to get going!
Malcolm dives into the ocean, thankful to escape his brainy admirer. Out of nowhere, a giant wave appears, knocking the wind out of him. Malcolm catches a glimpse of a grayish colored fin, like the fin of a shark, swimming straight towards him. He immediately forgets about the shark when he discoveres that something terribly humiliating has happened, for 946729875689267th time in his life. Malcolm slowly sinks lower into the water, trying to hide from prying eyes while he figures out what to do.
Back on dry land, Reese isn't having too much fun either.
Morgan: I'm sorry Reese, you're a real nice guy, but you're just not my type! I tend to go for the stronger, more masculine guys.
Reese: But, but, but-
Morgan: I'm sorry, ok? Now do you mind leaving? You're kinda blocking the sun.
Reese storms off, angry that he has struck out with the girl of his dreams. He mumbles and grumbles to himself.
Reese: She wants masculine? I'll show her masculine! I'm as masculine as they come! Hey…. I've got an idea! I'll push her into the water, and then save her! It's got to work!
A few yards away, Morgan is getting up so that she can go look for shells among the water. Suddenly, she feels a strong hand shoving into her back, pushing her off balance.
Morgan: Help me! I can't swim! Somebody help me!
To Reese's horror, Morgan actually begins to drown. He dives in to save her, hoping that there's still time.
Meanwhile, Barbara attacks Lois about everything from her hair to her bad parenting skills.
Barbara: I just think that you give those boys far too much freedom. You must keep them on a short leash, or they will turn into hooligans!
Lois: Please don't tell me how to raise my own children! I-
Lois pauses when she sees the look Hal is sending her. She decides to go into the bathroom so that she can calm down.
Lois: I'm going to use the bathroom.
Barbara: Be careful not to touch the blue vase! Hal's father's ashes are in there!
Lois: You keep your husband's ashes in the bathroom?????
Barbara: It was his favorite place to be!
Lois: I don't blame him; at least he got privacy there!
Lois goes into the bathroom, where her eyes fall on the pretty, robin's egg blue vase. She turns to grab a tissue, when suddenly, she hears a large PLOP! Lois' eyes widen in distress. She has no idea what to do about this awful situation!
