Chapter 8
We shouldn't have done that

8.34 a.m.
"You twit! Why did you crank the handle the wrong way?"
Courage and the Computer had hung on to the 'tank', only to be left struggling in the water. Courage had to swim AND hold the Computer over his head as the water would not take well to the Computer's open circuitry. Not that Courage was complaining in any way though, as true- it really was his fault.
The old man was so fed up about the cause of events that he fainted, unknown to both survivors.
"Erm, we should hurry, that old guy will be after us soon!"
"I agree, but it is still your fau-"
There was a floating plank on the surface of the water. The Computer decided that his ramble could wait for later, while he took the opportunity to rest. The problem was, where had the plank come from? It was so broad, it should belong to a swimming pool. A diving board into the sea was not very convincing, even at best.
More planks suddenely rose out from the water. They formed a bridge to another island.
"Computer, is this magic?"
"No it's not twit... okay I don't know."
A figure came out from behind a palm tree on that island.
"Welcome to Katz's exclusive resort. I'm (obviously) Katz."
Courage screamed and leapt into the water, swimming as fast as a speedboat. The Computer glanced at Katz through his lens and pushed the plank he was on away from the bridge as fast as Courage did.
"You don't want cocktail at least?"
8.50 a.m.
Both of them stopped to rest. Courage was panting.
"What do we do now?"
"Twit, look at what's in your face now."
Courage looked up to see a boat labled 'CN's boat'
"Who could possibly have a boat out here?"
"Don't ask me. I'm not the owner of this boat."
Courage clambered aboard while the Computer needed some help.
They looked at the book on the ship. It was a diary. It read:
Day 1: Stupid weather.
Day 2: I can't sight land.
Day 4: Found it.
And it said "Caleb Neo" on the cover.
Courage started the motor and the boat moved at a reasonable pace.
"Hmmm... we must be close to civilisation. I feel a weak signal from devices all over the world."
And this was how the boat smashed into another shore.
9.01 a.m.
"You twit! You've destroyed the boat!"
"Sorry... "
Both of them got up, Courage having hurt his left eye and the Computer was in a terrible state. Not only that, the Computer also was rapidly losing stored energy inside him. Courage looked rather concerned as the Computer was now basically a bunch of living wires connected to a complex circuit.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes I am."
They both looked ahead. The island they were on was small. They found a small entrance to a cave. Several post-its were covered over with self-portraits of Slender and all his various symbols. One of them was the most intriguing of the few was a note which claimed that Slender was watching, but had no eyes. Yeah, right. Thankfully, Slender was dead, truly.
"Should we enter? I'm scared... "
"You're always scared of everything. Anyway, this is where Muriel is supposedly kept. You want to save the fool, don't you?"
"Muriel's not a fool."
"As much as you are not a twit."
The idiotic conversation was brought to a halt when a large piano plummeted from the sky. The grand piano ceased to be what it's name suggested upon contact with the ground. It smashed right between both of them.
9.04 a.m.
High up in an alien spacecraft, the evil Gollarks from Planet Zog were not pleased. They had failed to kill the two foolish humanoids down below. They found this to be highly embarrasing and sped off to the next galaxy to invade Planet Cow.
"What on **** just happened?"
"I dunno, Computer. Must have been some random unlucky occurance."
Both of them took salvaged some materials from the boat and piano as they felt those could be used as crude weapons. They were likely to have an arduous journey ahead of them.
