Cuttlefish OUT!

Annie woke up to find Moe sitting on her chest staring angrily at her.

"What?" Annie asked the clownfish.

"YOU LIKE THIS STREET URCHIN, DON'T YOU?" Moe angrily asked her through gritted teeth. Annie laid there staring at her angry roommate.

"Yes."

"I KNEW IT! YOU AND THIS NASTY DRUG DEALER! I MEAN, LOOK AT HIM! HE'S DISGUSTING! HE'S CREEPY! HE SMELLS LIKE DRUNK BUTTS AND HE LOOKS AN INKLING GOT ELECTROCUTED TOO MANY TIMES!" Moe yelled at the top of his little lungs.

"DON'T TALK ABOUT SPYKE LIKE THAT!" Annie yelled back. She picked up Moe and shoved him in her tentacles. Moe grumbled and pushed off her star in her hair.

"HEY! Calm down!" Annie yelled. "You need to be nicer! Being mean and rude won't get you anywhere in life!" Moe sighed, knowing he wouldn't win this battle.

Spyke sat up and stretched. "Good morning mate." Spyke told the sea anemone. Annie smiled.

"Wanna come with us to work?" Annie asked. Spyke shook his head. "Nah. Them inklings in the back alley probably think I'm dead or arrested by now, love."

Love? Moe thought.

"Oh, well I'll see you later then." Annie told Spyke. Spyke smiled as Annie left the room.

Drunk butts? Spyke thought. He did smell bad, but not THAT bad! Maybe I should hit the shower. The sea urchin got up and marched over to the bathroom and turned on the bath. Everything smelled nice. Even the toilet.

Spyke began taking off all his clothes when the door behind him opened up. He turned his head to see Annie and Moe behind him, staring at his naked butt.

Instinctively, he turned around and began pulling up his underwear. "Yes mate?" Spyke asked.

Annie stood there in shock for a moment until Moe nudged her. "W-we were g-g-going to grab o-our wallet." Annie sputtered out before grabbing her wallet and running out the bathroom. Even Moe couldn't talk. Spyke waited until the front door closed before continuing getting undressed.

Once fully naked, he slid into the tub and laid there.

Annie and Moe got home with dinner from "Kalimari Kitchen." Spyke laid on the couch, reading one of Annie's books.

"So Spyke." Annie asked. "I was wondering if maybe you would like to see your brother." Spyke stopped reading. He hasn't seen his older brother in eight years. Last time he seen him, he was in a hospital bed after being stabbed 7 times.

"I guess I could give him a visit." Spyke told Annie. "When will we leave?"

"Tomorrow."

Spyke smiled and went to sit at the table to enjoy some calimari with Annie.

Spyke snoozed off easily that night.

He dreamed about when he was younger. Much younger.

"JUST STOP!" Spyke's mother yelled at his dad. His dad took another gulp of his beer and swung his hand at his mother. His mother fell back onto the nightstand from the blow. The dad smiled and leaped on Spyke's mother pinning her down as she began pleading for him to stop.

"Mommy!" Jaggy yelled from the stairs. Spyke's mom looked at him, tears forming from her eyes.

"Go upstairs with your brother. I'll be fine."

Jaggy nodded and ran upstairs to his brother's room. Spyke laid in the crib wide awake, looking at his brother, Jaggy, enter the room and cradled him.

From downstairs, their mom cried as sounds of pounding and slapping echoed through their rundown apartment. Jaggy went in the closet with Spyke and sat there, listening to the terrible sounds.

"Don't worry Spyke. All this will be over soon." Jaggy told his younger brother. He wrapped him up in a towel and carried him over to his bed and laid him down. Jaggy laid in next to him.

"Don't worry Spyke. Life will get better."

Spyke woke up to being in the arms of his brother. Jaggy had tears running down his face as a police office hugged them and drove them away from their burning apartment complex. Their dad was put in a different car. Blood covering his parts of his face as the police began driving him away.

"Mommy's dead." Jaggy told Spyke. Jaggy hugged his younger brother harder and let more tears stream down his face. Spyke stared at his older brother, too young to understand what was going on.

Spyke bolted up from bed, sweat dripping from ever ounce of his body. The moon still hung high in the sky and Annie and Moe were still asleep.

Just a nightmare. Just a nightmare. Spyke thought. He laid back down and stared at the ceiling. After their mother was killed, the two sea urchins were put in childcare. They were never adopted and were constantly transported from on to another care facility. Eventually, Jaggy moved out and Spyke moved to Rock bottom. He failed to keep up with rent so he moved to the back alley in Inkopolis.

He made more friends there than he ever had.
