ATTACK OF THE KILLER SHRIMP OF DOOM!

Chapter 2: Wake up wake up wake up wake up...

Chapter 2:

Sometime in the late afternoon, Picard left the corner of the cabin he had been huddling in since the shrimp incident. He strolled up to deck, avoiding the railing where many an encounter with the evil crustateons had taken place. He decided to ignore the fact that they were dreams.

Shrimp were evil.

He whistled a jaunty Lemurian tune as he went to work, doing all of the stuff that was needed to be done on a ship that was run by Psynergy, like uselessly moving barrels around, leaving out pieces of rope so people would trip, and other such fun things. The sun was starting to set when he first noticed something odd.

There seemed to be a lot of water near part of the railing. Frowning, he walked over and looked over the edge.

"It was probably just a wave," he told himself, even though the sea had been still and calm all day. "I mean, we are out in the middle of the ocean, and the ocean is composed of water..."

He stared down onto the water that was rippling from their passing. The setting sun made the water sparkle with orange and pink. It was all very, very pretty, with absolutely nothing out of the ordinary.

Without warning a huge shrimp sprang from the water and onto the side of the ship, its many legs clicking and rustling, running up the side of the ship. Picard screamed and jumped backwards, his shoulders hitting the cabin behind him. The shrimp crouched on the railing, making strange hissing noises at him.

"NOOOO!" he yelled, wondering why he wasn't waking up from the dream yet. "GET AWAY GET AWAY GET AWAY!!!!!"

He heard the sound of running feet, but it was too late. The shrimp sprang at him, feelers swishing violently through the air.

Felix ran up, tripped over a piece of rope, and fell forward, hitting the shrimp in midair and smacking it down onto the deck. The shrimp let out a shrill cry that was cut off when it was smashed by Felix's arm.

"Ow!" Felix sat up. He held up his arm, which was covered in shrimp guts. "Oh, yuck!"

"Felix...you...saved me," Picard muttered.

Felix looked down at the dead shrimp and said an interesting combination of unprintables. "That's one HUGE shrimp! Lucky I killed it!"

"Yeah...and I have a feeling that's not the end..." Picard looked out to sea, trying to ignore the impending sense of doom.

And now we know why Felix didn't talk in TLA! Hanging out with Satty-kun and Mena-chan for three years gave him a foul mouth! Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I love you!
