On the streets of the City, the wind wisped the snow around the cars and people as they scurried to their destinations. But down below, the Siamese Fighting Fish were comfortably warm thanks to the heat generated by their several computers.
Master Winky was busy Googling for Christmas cookie tips
(not how to bake them, but how to use them as weapons). Meanwhile,
Ogopogo was studying the Master's latest, "training tape." He wasn't
exactly sure how practical studying Spider-Man was, but it was either
this or It's A Wonderful Life, and he hated black and white movies.
Wesli and Ashley, their visiting friends, had locked
themselves into the training room (or "Betta Barn," as Ogopogo liked to
call it). Poor Ogopogo was too naïve to understand what they were doing.
But Kraken knew. And he was jealous. Why should that punk kid get the
hot chick when he was obviously the stud around this place. He didn't
even have a past girlfriend to be bitter over.
This was the last straw. Kraken decided that he would have a girlfriend by Christmas. And with that he went to his room to start strategizing.
What approach should he take? The blonde wig trick always seemed to work for Ogopogo. But no, be needed a plan that would still work after everything came off.
A ha! But of course! He would join an online dating service and win a girl over with his natural charm!
Hmm.. all of the computers were currently occupied. But when were they not? Master Winky usually signed off only after he had a full impression of a keyboard across his face (which was never quick to happen with all of his fur). And Cetus could easily be up the entire night studying the latest crackpot Harry Potter theories.
This was going to be a long night. Kraken headed into the kitchen to find some caffeine. He was surprised to see Master Winky there, apparently baking. He stared in disbelief for a moment, then cautiously proceeded to the fridge from which he took a Mountain Dew.
Master Winky paid him no attention and continued mixing ingredients together. Kraken convinced himself that it was his current state of no caffeine that caused him to see his Master pour a liquid from a bottle featuring a label of a skull and crossbones into the mixing bowl. Even this brief thought moved to the back of his mind as he realized that Master Winky's computer was likely unoccupied! He rushed to his Master's study to find that, indeed, there was an empty chair in front of the computer.
Kraken sat down and made himself comfortable, finding just the right resting spot for his Mountain Dew. After checking his e-mail (none) and getting up to date on the latest Hello Kitty news, he was set to find himself a girlfriend.
Despite his desperate state, Kraken wanted to make some
effort to find a girl with whom he shared some common interests. But
after two hours of browsing and signing up or various dating websites,
Kraken felt defeated. He couldn't find one girl who described herself as
the angry type. What was he to do?
In need of a distraction, Kraken surfed over to Not in the mood to browse the latest Harry Potter dribble, he wandered into the Hello Kitty category. He had only amused himself with Hello Kitty fanfiction on rare occasions. He was always turned off from it quickly due to people's inability to accurately capture the charm of Hello Kitty.
