Resisting the urge to bat Rimmer with a claw, Cat pranced elegantly over to where Lister lay. And dear me, did our poor Listy not look well.

"Bud?"

Lister moaned softly, but did not wake. Cat shrugged and unstrapped the watch from his wrist. He smiled, boy was he good! He did a little celebratory moonwalk back over to Kryten and Rimmer. "No need to thank me buds!" he grinned, "well, actually there is! See what a lovely Cat I am? I risked everything for you guys."

"Thank you sir!"

"No problem… well actually - yeah it was a problem! I risked my life, my suits, my hair! And for what?" he pulled a face, "I'll tell you what - I risked it all for you. Can you believe it? You!"

"That's great sir, could we possibly have Holly now?"

"I can't believe it! I'm going mad! I risked -"

"Sir! This is urgent!"

"-everything for you! You disgusting no fashion wannabes!"

Rimmer had had quite enough and bellowed: "Cat! Shut the smeg up and give us Holly before I whack you round the head!"

Cat stopped a minute, surprised.

"I'd like to see you try!"

Kryten sighed; this was not going to end well. "Sirs, before you indulge yourselves by causing each other physical harm may I please have the Holly watch?"

"Sure bud!" Cat chucked it over to Kryten and rolled up his sleeves. "You ready?"

Rimmer seemed to have gone quiet all of a sudden.

"Bud, what's the matter, you're not scared are you?"

"Um… sir? If I may interrupt again, could you please untie me first? I'm having some difficulty holding the watch without any arms to hold it with."
Cat slashed the ropes with a claw, setting Kryten free in a second.

Rimmer squeaked, using this opportunity to roll away as fast as the knotted string would let him.

Cat looked around, "OI!" he shouted, bounding after Rimmer, "You can't run from a cat!"

…….

Meanwhile the strangest thing was happening to Lister. He opened his eyes, to see bright pink. He squinted. The colour was the worst shade of magenta he had ever seen.

It reminded him of that oh so awful planet of pinkfluff.

And then unexpectedly, there wasn't pink. Only darkness. Lister shivered as the claustrophobia gripped him again.

What the smeg was going on? One minute he could see, and the next nothing. His head was beginning to ache. He shut his eyes hard. Then opened them; no pink this time. No darkness either.

But there were a hell of a lot of fish.

He blinked, was his vision coming back?

The answer was no. ha!

He closed his eyes, not wanting the evil fishy eyes to glare at him anymore. Unfortunately he had no such luck. Even with his eyes closed he could see them, jeering at him, sneering, pulling their mouths up in disgust.

Then, suddenly, they were all over him, stabbing him with a million tiny knives, tearing at his skin with vicious claws.

He screamed, "GET OFF!"

"Sir please calm down!" Kryten tried to hold him steady, tried to stop him thrashing around on the floor in pain. But Lister didn't see Kryten. Instead he saw a towering six foot hairy scary GELF. Oh joy.

"AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHHH!"

"Sir, please, it's me Kryten!"

"GET OFF ME!"

Kryten held him down; unaware that even touching Lister was enough to cause twenty bucketfuls of pain.

"You disgusting GELF, I don't love you! GET OFF ME!"

"Sir, this is incredibly silly, I am not a GELF, please calm down!"
"NOOOOOO! I don't wanna be your sex toy!"

"Holly?" Kryten said, pinning Lister down and fumbling with the watch, "What an earth is going on?"

She tossed her hair back, "Oh that's right, forget about me for ages and then ask me a lifesaving question. Well tough - I'm not going to tell you now."

"Please Holly!"

She rolled her eyes, "this is just another effect of the poison,"

"Of course! What shall I do?"

She smiled, "Watch him, its quite fun."
