Chapter 9


The boat went down the Nile, getting closer and closer to the legendary Islington. The dolphins saw the approaching boat and knew that they must take action to prevent the creature from being released. After they went to the bottom of the river to get some nice fish, they climbed on the boat and attacked.
Meanwhile, Fenchurch was getting ready for bed. She brushed her teeth while she had trouble paying attention to the gentle 1,2 motion of scrubbing her teeth. Fenchurch always did love brushing her teeth. "Gosh," she told herself, "it wasn't that good of a kiss anyway, get a hold of yourself, a man has never distracted you from brushing your teeth before." Then she spat out the toothpaste, rinsed and went to bed.
The dolphins crept down the hallways and sent a dolphin into each room to search for the map, which they oddly knew was on board. The first room, of course, is Fenchurch's. When she saw the dolphin enter her room she became terrified and tried to fly away, only to realize that she can't fly. While this was going on the dolphins had set a rapidly spreading fire to the ship. Fire crept through Fenchurch's room. She picked up the bowl of petunias that was now on fire and threw it at the dolphin that fell overboard yelping. Ha ha.
Everyone was out on the deck once the fire had spread; they dove off to escape the flames. Fenchurch and Arthur found each other in the flames and he asked her if she could swim.
"Well, yeah, of course I can Mr. Dent, but it's not like I need to now, we're 5 feet from shore in water that is 3 feet deep. Most of the people that were on this boat are dead because they dove into the water and hit their heads."
"Oh, then I guess we better do cannonballs, huh?" Everyone left on the boat yelled "CANNONBALL!!!" and made a huge splash.
