And for this part, we pick up where we left off. In went Stripe to the pool. So without a long
note this time, we return you to the pool. *watches as all fall in* Oops, too close. You'll
need to back up a bit....oh, and grab a towel.
**********************************************************************
CHAPTER EIGHT... DARE TO BE STUPID
***********************************************************
To those who noticed I didn't name the last chapter.....why are you bothering with those
little things? You're supposed to be reading the STORY! Get back to it! Anyhow, I was
preoccupied and forgot. So ignore it....where were we? Oh right...the pool....are you sure
you don't wanna go back inside and find out how Pratt is? *ducks flying objects* Okay
already! We'll go to the pool. Just don't fall in this time....there's a gremlin in there. He
won't wanna share the beach ball with strangers.....so bring your own.
In the pool, everyone had pretty much screamed in terror, the minute Stripe had fallen in.
Everyone, that is, with the exception of Sven, Cassi, and Pippin. The three of them were
still diving for rocks at the bottom of the pool. As she resurfaced, Sven stared at the
people who were trying to get out. "What happened?" She asked. "Did someone go to
the bathroom in the pool?"
Stripe resurfaced and broke into a coughing fit. "Ohhh, I'm gonna knock me out a
couple of cats." He muttered, between coughs.
"Sorry." Teazer said as she came to the top. "Me an' Mungo luv ta swim, an' we ain' 'ad
much chances ta do i'."
Mungo grinned in glee, shaking the water out of his hair, splattering all nearbye. "Tha' was
fun!" He called.
Susan turned at the edge of the pool, staring at Stripe. "Wait a sec. He's a GREMLIN!"
She protested. Carter and Ardeth turned around and swam closer to him.
Stripe gave a guilty grin. "Well.....you never asked me about the water thing." He informed
them. "Obviously, if I can go out in the sun like this, the rules no longer apply to me. I
found out I couldn't multiply the hard way."
Sven smirked. "He woke up with a bad sunburn, then jumped in the water to try to make
more...." She remarked, snickering. "Naturally, he ended up with a lot of pain, spent the
next few days peeling and was completely miserable."
Stripe gave her a flat look. "Thanks for the re-cap." He snapped.
"In that case, you might wanna use my sunblock." Cassi told him. "You burn more in the
water." **Yes, Cassi uses very strong sunblock. This is how she keeps her very pale
complexion when she goes out swimming or working in the sun. Don't ask me why, but I
like my pale look. I hate tanning.**
Stripe made a face, swam to the edge of the pool, and jumped out to get the sunblock.
He stripped off his shirt and jeans, leaving a black pair of boxers, and dived back in after
applying the sunblock. "Guess this means I have to wait an hour too." He smirked.
From the door, Mohawk looked out and shook his head. "Hey peoples! ONE OF THE
GREMLINS JUST BROKE YOUR MICROWAVE!!!!" He shouted.
Romano's head shot up. "WHAT!?"
Mohawk gave another shrug. "They heard something in your song about sticking your
head in a microwave to get a tan, and one of the idiots tried it!" He informed them. **This
was in the song "Dare to be Stupid", proving that gremlins are indeed stupid.**
Romano slid down lower in his chair and groaned. "Great. And that won't get fixed when
the game's over." He muttered. "They didn't set the lounge on fire, did they?"
Mohawk shook his head. "No, but he did blow up!" He replied. "You now have a big
mess all over the place!"
Elizabeth made a face. "I'm not going in there." She announced. "There's a rule about
chasing gremlins for an hour after going in the water." With this, she jumped into the pool,
scrubs and all.
Romano shook his head. "I'm not going in there." He remarked. "This is a walkout, we're
protesting them, remember?"
Peter grinned. "Oh yeah." He agreed, pulling off his shirt and jumping into the pool in
his jeans.
Romano shook his head, and rolled his eyes. He couldn't go into the pool with his arm
bandaged, and really didn't feel like it anyway. Sighing, he pulled out the "Forbidden Game
Collectors Edition", and flipped through it, to see if he could come up with more evil deeds
for the third spoof and the remainder of the second.
Shirley looked over his shoulder. "So that's the book we're doing now?" She asked.
Romano nodded. "Yeah, wanna read it?"
Shirley looked it over. "Yeah." She answered. "You have another one?"
"No, but Cassi does." He told her, pulling another from Cassi's bag, and handing it to her.
"Isn't she using this?" Shirley asked, looking over at Cassi, who was still diving for rocks.
"Not that one." Romano replied. "She's using the other books for the spoof writting. She
says she likes the pictures in the front of the others better....besides, she has two copies of
each of the original books, and two collector's edditions."
Shirley stared. "Wow.." She mused. "She must like them a lot."
"You haven't seen Sven with the Xanth series yet." Romano informed her with a small
smile. "And the Lord of the Rings books."
Shirley nodded. "Okay....I guess." She agreed, flopping down next to Romano, and
opening the book.
"HEY!" Cassi called from the pool. "That's my NEW one! Don't fold the pages over, and
it better come back in the same shape you got it in!"
"Got it!" Shirley answered.
In the pool, Elizabeth had joined the rock diving, which Lucy was also now involved in, and
Peter Benton had joined Carter, Ardeth, Stripe, Susan, Abby, Dr. Atherton, Chris Mason,
Gallant, Kovac, Chuny, Lily, Lydia, Connie, Randi, Dave, Jing Mei, Mungo, and Rumpel in
their game of water volleyball.
"Good thing this place fit a VERY big pool." Carter spoke up. "We'd never fit all these
people in a smaller one."
Benton nodded. "Should have invited Cleo, but I didn't know we'd be having a party." He
remarked. "All we knew was that the spiders had invaded the hospital."
Susan grinned. "Well, I guess the spiders are still in the hospital." She spoke up, smacking
the ball back over the net. "But then, I'm having too much fun to care."
"No kidding! This is the best walkout we've ever had." Abby cried. "How come we couldn't
do this last time?"
Carter rolled his eyes. "Because I couldn't make a pool out here." He reminded her.
Cassi grinned. "Yeah...well, you can't say we're not original!" She remarked.
Pippin frowned. "Where do you s'pose Batsy went with the game?" He asked, setting his
rocks on the edge.
Sven shrugged. "Don't worry about it." She answered, matter-of-factly. "He's a gremlin.
As soon as he realizes we're ignoring him, he'll most likely come back to find out why."
"Are you serious?" Dave asked, turning.
"Yes." Stripe informed him. "He'll be back. It's no fun to go running from someone unless
they come after you."
Carter shrugged. "Well then we just wait for him to come back, and while we're waiting..."
He paused to give the ball a whack. "We can have some fun!"
From her seat under the umbrella, Shirley looked over and noticed Romano was not reading.
He was watching Elizabeth with interest. She looked over at where Dr. Corday was standing
near the edge of the pool, her scrubs now plastered to her body. "Hmmm," Shirley spoke
up quietly. "Do you suppose she realizes what she looks like?"
Romano smirked. "Nope." He answered, just as quiet. "And I'm not going to tell her....are
you?"
Shirley laughed and shook her head. "I'd hate to see what she does to you when she figures
it out." She remarked.
"To me!?" Romano asked, innocently. "She's the one dressed like that, not me. I didn't
make her go in there."
"She's probably just teasing you." Shirley suggested, smirking.
Elizabeth, oblvious to their comments, went back under the water.
Cassi eyed Romano and turned to Sven. "I think he needs a drool bucket." She said
quietly.
Sven nodded. "Yeah, looks that way." She agreed. "Shall we get Lizzie a swim suit?"
Cassi shrugged. "Only if she wants one." She answered. "It's not like she's not wearing
anything under that."
Elizabeth, seeing them, swam over. "What's going on?" She asked.
"Your future husband is drooling over there." Sven remarked, bluntly.
Elizabeth looked down at her scrubs, and blushed. "Is he really?" She questioned.
"Oh yeah." Cassi answered. "Want us to make you a suit?"
Elizabeth considered it. "Sure." She replied, with an evil grin. "How about a nice black
bikini? It should give him something to drool about."
"You are truely mean." Sven told her.
Elizabeth grinned and shook her head. "He was mean to me first." She countered.
Cassi shrugged. "You know, I gave up trying to figure out that relationship between the
two of you a long time ago." She told her, snapping her fingers, instantly changing
Lizzie's scrubs to a bikini.
With an evil grin to Cassi and Sven, Elizabeth turned and posed.
Romano dropped the book and shook his head in disbelief, while Shirley burst out laughing.
Off to the side, in their own lounge chairs, Burt Gummer, Roland Tembo, and Mick Dundee
started laughing.
Romano turned to glare. "If I catch you looking at her, I'm shooting all of you. That is going
to be my WIFE!"
Burt smirked. "Does her husband know that?" He asked, innocently.
Romano looked over at Shirley, who was laughing, then turned back, with his own innocent
smile. "Her husband was dead last I heard. She's a widow."
Burt shrugged, stuck his tongue out, and returned to his guns, which he, Roland, and
Dundee were messing with.
Nick did a brief double-take, then walked over to observe. "Hey, I got me one of those, too."
He informed the group. "Won it in a poker game in front of that crashed plane on Site B."
Burt grinned. "Really? The Federales gave me mine." He answered.
Steve walked over to examine the weapon. "Wow....maybe we can ask the Costa Rican
federales if we can have some." He suggested. When he looked up and caught the three
humans staring at him as if he was from the moon, he shrugged. "It could happen."
Burt gave a small nod. "Graboids on Site B....interesting concept." He mused.
Nick and Steve exchanged a glance. "Kind of makes you pity them, wouldn't it?" Nick
remarked.
"What are you talking about?" Burt demanded. "They'd eat you in one bite."
Nick shook his head. "It's not us I was talking about." He retorted, smirking. "It's Carter,
Ardeth, Ryan, and Murdoc."
Roland gave a nod. "Yeah, Ardeth could probably change it into a snail or something." He
admitted.
Burt nodded, as he remembered. "Yeah....maybe we should take him with us on the NEXT
shot!"
**********************************************************************
Meanwhile, inside the hospital, on the surgical floor, Jacey groaned. She was caught up in
the sticky mess in the hallway, where she'd been ever since she'd tried to cut it down. From
the vent nearby, Jeffery was watching her. He'd remained inside when all the others had
gone out to play. He'd already noticed that Carter had come back, but then Carter had gone
outside, too. Now, he'd found Mohawk's web, and this nice human caught in it. He climbed
out of the vent and looked around. Mohawk was nowhere to be seen. What a shame for
him to leave this nice morsel caught in the web. Jeffery's mouth watered. It was lunchtime!
**********************************************************************
Random insanity bit....another one. More things to ponder.....If a train station is where the
train stops, what is a work station? How come there aren't B size batteries? Why do banks
charge you "Non-sufficiant funds" fees on money they already know you don't have? And
last but not least, Why is it that bullets ricochet off Superman's chest, and yet he ducks
when the gun is thrown at him?!
We now return to our story.
**********************************************************************
In Trauma One, Mark Greene, Casey, Sam, and Salt were wondering what had happened to
the missing cats.
"Is it possible they got eaten?" Casey wondered.
Sam shook his head. "Cassi and Sven wouldn't let that happen." He answered. "They try
to keep Miracle Max alive....Carter's the only other one who knows how to make the pills
and he's stuck in the game last I heard."
"Well, we DO have this small pile of pills already here." Salt reminded them.
"Did they say who all we were supposed to bring back?" Casey asked.
Greene shrugged. "I'd venture guess they don't want Anspaugh and Kerry back any time
soon." He replied. "If they had their way, they'd stay dead."
"What is going on out there anyway?" Salt put in. "Ever since the vines grew out, we've
heard nothing from that direction.....except for that chainsaw a while ago, which I don't
even want to KNOW what happed there."
"That's gotta be the gremlins." Casey remarked, yawning. "They're the ones seeing the
patients. The doctors all left, I think."
"I heard something about Romano and a walkout." Greene answered. "So they're probably
outside, doing who knows what."
"I think we should go look." Casey stated. "They're probably having more fun than we
are."
"You wanna try to get past the vines?" Sam pointed out.
"Mungo and Teazer did." Salt answered, matter-of-factly.
"Mungo and Teazer as we said are protected." Greene reminded him. "We aren't."
"Well, the spiders can't get me." Casey told them. "They made sure of that when I was
brought back."
"Yeah, but what about the little flowers and those big yellow pods?" Sam asked, pointedly.
"No offense, Casey, but you already died once. I don't want to have to bring your
worthless self back again."
"I'm truely touched." Casey retorted, flatly.
"I say we try it anyway." Replied Salt. "It might be worth it. From what I know about Cassi
and Romano, they won't be bored out there."
"You think we're missing a party?" Greene asked, frowning.
"I would say that's a pretty good guess." Salt told him. "Think about it."
Sam considered it. "Salt's right." He said, after a minute. "Knowing Cassi, a party is
definitely a possibility. Let's get out of here."
"What about the dead people?" Greene asked.
"They're dead, they can't come." Casey informed him, smirking.
Greene rolled his eyes. "I mean do we just leave them in here to get played with by
gremlins?" He pressed.
"Like he said. They're dead, what difference does it make?" Salt answered, shrugging.
"Come on, what are we waiting for?"
Casey stood up and headed for the door. Salt and Sam soon followed and, after a minute,
Greene did the same. Overall, the people were, in fact, dead. And there wasn't much they
could do anyway.
**********************************************************************
End Part eight.....where are my reviews?! I mean if you people are not liking this, TELL me!
I need to know these things. Later--Cassi
note this time, we return you to the pool. *watches as all fall in* Oops, too close. You'll
