Cheepskipper was in the process of making a small metal boat, glancing over to Dry Bowser, who was adding new planks to a near completed wooden ship. "How does it go over there, DB?"

"All right." Dry Bowser stated as he placed the fourth to last plank on the ship. "You know, this is better than my experience with certain other businesses here."

"Heh, don't I know it." Cheepskipper remarked as he nodded his head in agreement. "There was this day when several of us acted as coworkers for one's stand. Let's just say that it didn't go well." Cheepskipper turned around, preparing to finish nailing in the last metal part when a sudden quake shook Seaside Hill, causing the metal ship to break apart. "My ship!"

Dry Bowser's boney body broke apart, reducing him to a collection of bones as he sighed in annoyance. "Oh, like this has never happened." He sarcastically remarked, rolling his eyes.

And to add insult to injury, thunder boomed from the northern direction as it began raining, or rather pouring harshly, causing the sea level in the giant lake surrounding the boats n' float shop to overflow with water, the other boats hitting each other as Cheepskipper and Dry Bowser's scattered bones were splashed around in the intense waves.
