SHAMAN KING – THE PIRATES

CHAPTER 1 – Aargh! Brain-Freeze!

It was a cold spring night, a cold breeze was blowing in through Yoh Asakura's bedroom window. The wind could be heard rustling the leaves on the tree outside Yoh's bedroom. It was just after 2am, Yoh, Len, Lyserg and Trey were fast asleep in their bedrooms while Morty, who they shared a flat with, wasn't.

"Why does he always buy low-fat stuff …and skimmed milk? Bleurgh!" Morty muttered while he was searching for things to eat at the back of the fridge. On top of the cooker was an extremely large pan, full of baked beans. Morty went over to turn the gas on to let them cook as part of his midnight feast.

Splat!

Morty's sleeve had got caught on the pan handle, bringing the whole pan on top of him. Since the beans were hot – Morty had to climb back into the freezer for a while (His legs are made from ice – when they're melted he gets really small – see my other story, The Picnic, for more details).

"Mmm…" Morty smiled as he smelled a big tub of double chocolate chip ice-cream behind the frozen peas. He reached out for the tub of ice-cream in the dark. Sadly, his sort arms meant he couldn't reach it and accidentally grabbed Len's frozen milk-drink powder.

Morty opened the lid of what he thought was the ice-cream. He grabbed the spoon from his back pocket, just in case of food emergencies. He scooped up a big mouthful of powder on the spoon. Put it in his mouth and swallowed.

"Ok, this is weird," he though to himself, "this isn't double chocolate chip, it tastes more like vanilla…"

Morty scoffed the whole lot in about half an hour. He started to shiver. He didn't like having to sit in the freezer all the time.

"Oh no – not again!" Morty ran out of the freezer on his newly-frozen legs. "Brain-freeze!"

Will Morty get rid of his brain freeze?
