CHAPTER 4, Sea Monsters, Barking Lobsters and Shellophones

IN DEAD MAN'S POINT, A female sea monster named Sweet Mama was decorating a cake while two teenage sea monsters looked on.

"Oh mama, can't we have a nibble of some cake?" Blurp asked staring his hungry eyes at the cake

"No you can't Sweet Mama shrieked, It's for Big Daddy's birthday and If I see one piece of cake missing I'll have your tentacles! Goodbye I got to take Prince for a walk"

Prince barked and Sweet Mama led him outside.

"I don't care what Mama says, I'm going to eat that cake" Blurp declared

"Yeah but what will happen when she finds it missing"? Slurp asked

"She isn't going to find out dummy"

"Hey let's catch Sigmund, and make him make a cake for us" Slurp suggested

Ok, Blurp and Slurp left the cave to look and capture their brother Sigmund

THE BUGALOOS ARRIVE IN DEAD MAN'S POINT

"Blimely mates where are we now"? Courage wondered

Melvin, I'm scared whispered Reiko who felt safer with her mate near her, The babies had stopped crying and were huddled next to her breast sleeping. Elizabeth stirred gave a great yawn for a tiny baby and fell back asleep next to her brother and sister. Reiko made sure they were alright before pressing them to her heart.

I.Q. read the sign puzzled, Why is this called Dead Man's Point? Have people died there?

Suddenly out from no where a old hermit popped out from a rock, "So you wanna know why it's called Dead Man's Point he grinned his toothless grin, Sea Monsters that hate humans live in them caves, and they are real as can be".

Melvin gave a great laugh, "You expect us to believe an old man like you"?

MELVIN Reiko screamed as she struggled to break free from her captor, The babies had woken up and began to cry as a sea monster (Blurp) grabbed the poor girl and dragged her away"

Slurp the other sea monster snatched the screaming babies from Reiko and threw them into the ocean, But Melvin flew with Courage and saved the babies.

It's alright Melvin soothed cradling the babies in his arms, I'll find your mommy, You need her just as you need me. Courage took command, Melvin you I.Q. me and Harmony will go and rescue Reiko

"What about the babies", Melvin stared at with concern.

"We'll leave them here", Its too risky and anyways we could always ask those kids surfing to look after them. Courage I.Q. Harmony and Melvin Bizarre stared at the red haired curly boy and the blonde haired boy playing in the sand

"Hi" the red haired boy smiled, I'm Johnny Stuart and this is my brother Scott" "Is something wrong"

Are you kidding me groaned Harmony, Yes something's wrong, our friend Reiko just got kidnapped by sea creatures and we sure are purple n plaid right now aren't we boys Harmony turned to I.Q. Courage and Melvin

He means boiling mad I.Q. explained to Johnny and Scott

"Hi guys" a smaller looking sea monster appeared from the rocks and stared interesting at The Bugaloos boys "Who are you?"

"What have you done with Reiko", Melvin demanded,

"IIIIII", stuttered Sigmund just stunned at Melvin's words

We can explain who took your friend, Johnny and Scott told The Bugaloos that Sigmund had been ostracized by his sea monster family for not scaring humans. The sea monsters responsible were Blurp and Slurp Sigmund's mean and selfish brothers. "And they probably took Reiko to their cave over there" Johnny pointed at cave just inches from them.

BACK IN THE CAVE, A devestated Reiko is doing housework, believing her children to be dead, She moaned their deaths silently as Blurp and Slurp pushed her to cook and clean the whole cave

An hour later Sweet Mama returned from walking Prince to find Reiko cleaning the house

"Who is she" Sweet Mama demanded,

"This is our new cleaning lady Mama" Blurp and Slurp smiled

"How wonderful"Sweet Mama happily exclaimed "Thank you so much darlings oh thank you"

Big Daddy arrived home and had a great birthday party, They ate cake, opened presents, and also watched Shellovision. Big Daddy thought his birthday was too good to be true.

By bedtime, Big Daddy stared at the young housekeeper she was very pretty and it was tempting to seduce her. "Come here my pretty" Big Daddy crooed "Don't you wanna be my wife too?"

Reiko broke free and attacked, This was the last straw, no man was going to force her to do anything

"Sweet Mama Blurp, Slurp, the cleaning woman has gone mad" Big Daddy cried

Before anyone could stop Reiko, Reiko used her ninjism to leap through the air and dodge the angry sea monsters, It was a day before she ran and ran straight into Melvin her husband who was looking for her. The crying babies nursed at her breast hungry and a very traumatized Reiko explained her story

"Let's get out of here Melvin", Reiko murmured huddling herself near her mate for protection.

"Melvin" Courage began but stopped when he noticed Melvin's eyes were furious

"Look" I.Q. patted Melvin's shoulder, You're wife has been though enough already. Revenge is not an answer

Melvin rose from sitting next to Reiko, "We leave tomorrow" Melvin announced

Goodbye Johnny and Scott called the next day as Melvin, Reiko, the triplets, Courage I.Q. and Harmony each got into another portal,

Goodbye The Bugaloos and Reiko responded

And with that the Bugaloos and Reiko vanished

Whew, This was a tough and short chapter Sorry guys I couldn't think of anything about Sigmund. I also used some Cockney Ryme Slang Harmony used on the show
