Dangerous Gaming
as requested by 101 giraffes
It was high time that the crew got some well dissevered break time. Unfortunately for Nicatia, it wasn't too much fun.
"Why do we have to come here every time we get a day off?" Nicatia huffed, crossing her arms, "I hate the bar... and I hat that foul smelling liquid! It's enough to make me gag..."
"I know what you mean," Skipper agreed. He wasn't a drinker. Couldn't stand the stuff, actually. As for Manfreedy and Johnson...Well...
"We all live in a yellow submarine~ A yellow submarine~ A yellow submarine~," Manfreedy and Johnson sang drunkenly.
"They're horrorable singers when they're drunk," Skipper said, covering his ear canals.
"Skipper, they're even horrorid singers when they're sober," Nicatia pointed out. "I'm gonna go walking around."
"Are you sure?" he asked, "Cause I'll be more than happy to kick Manfreedy and Johnson off the stage so that you can sing."
"Naaa... I'm out," she said before hopping off the stool and heading towards the exist.

Nicatia walked around outside and kicked a rock. She was so bored. Sure, it was nice to have a day off, but she loved the action, the rush. She just couldn't stand doing nothing. Suddenly, something caught her eye. She spotted two penguins that she recognized as Mercy and Ronald. They were both in the same rank as her. Mercy was a penguin and Ronald was a wolf. Nicatia could hear Mercy laugh and tapping noises.
"Hey, guys. What cha doing?" Nicatia asked as she approached them. They turned and Nicatia jumped back when she was the knife in Ronald's hands.
"Oh, it's just Niccy..," Mercy sighed a relief.
"Don't do that, Nicatia. You could have made me mess up," Ronald told her. Nicatia tilted her head.
"Mess up on what?"
"Watch. I'll show ya," Ronald said before turning back to the table. He spread out his paw and slowly he began to stab between them with the knife going clock wise. Then he went faster and faster and then finally stopped.
"Woah!" Nicatia gasped. "What's it called?"
"I can't remember," Ronald said with a laugh, "But it's fun! Wanna try?"
"No, you can't let Niccy try," Mercy said, "Even though she's a private like us, she's way younger, remember?"
"Oh c'mon! Let me try!" Nicatia begged, "I wanna try!"
"Well... Okay, but be careful!" Ronald agreed. He handed her the knife and Nicatia mimicked what Ronald did.
At first she went slow and listened to the rymic sounds of the knife hitting the table.
Ptt, ptt, ptt, ptt, ptt. Ptt, ptt, ptt, ptt, ptt.
Nicatia's eyes widen as she began to go faster and faster.
.
"Hey, Nic, take it easy," Ronald said.
"Yeah, that's enough," Mercy agreed.
"Huh? No way!" Nicatia said. The two were about to stop her on their own when suddenly.
Wamp!
Mercy screamed as Ronald gasped. Nicatia felt pain jolt up her hand as it grew sticky. She looked down to see that she had accidently stabbed her hand, cutting one of its arties. Blood gushed out at a rapid paste and Nicatia started to get light headed. She finally fainted and blacked out.

Nicatia slowly opened her eyes. "H-Huh...? Where... am I?"
"You're in the hospital," said Reef as he and the team entered the room.
"And you're in big trouble," Skipper scolded.
"Did you know you could have killed yourself?!" Manfreedy yelled.
"That was so reckless that even me and Manfreedy wouldn't have attempted to do that," shouted Johnson.
"S-sorry...," Nicatia muttered, "How long was I out?"
"Two days. You lost quite a lot of blood," Reef told her, "Once you get out of the hospital, you're going to have to work 3x as hard!"
Nicatia moaned. "Greeeat..." I've learned my lesson..., she thought, No more being so reckless.... And per phase I should start relaxing more instead of getting in trouble...

Ninj: Okay, 101 giraffes requested me to do a Nicatia's Days story where she gets stabbed and almost dies. Well, I was sitting here thinkin' how I'd work that out. Then I remembered the Penguins of Madagascar holiday special (Ya know, the one that comes with the Marry Madagascar movie?) when Rico was playing that game with a plastic knife so I thought I'd used it in this story. ^^; IDK what that game is called, thought. -_-; Yes. It is a real game people do. Don't do it (unless you're like my friend Mandy and use a marker to play it XD).
Oh! And you all should try lookin up the song "Yellow Submarine" by the Beetles(I think). It's such a corny song! Way back when we had a home jut box, my mom and my aunt would sing to that song! XDDDD
Another thing; Don't forget you can leave request for a story idea for Nicatia's Days! Sorry this one took a long time to get put up, 101 giraffes. ^_^;
