Chapter 11: Squirt Becomes an Explorer Just Like Dora
"Okay. So, now that we're done with Kai-Lan, it's time to move onto another member of Team Problem Solvers. This time we're doing Dora Marquez, aka Dora the Explorer." Edward said.
"That Dora girl really needs a boyfriend." Atlas said.
"I know, right? She hasn't made any human friends in the show, so this matchmaker app would make a great opportunity for Dora to find some romance in her life." Lefty said.
"That's right, guys. Dora needs to find romantic love from someone. That said, time to play the matchmaker game." Said Edward. He types in Dora's name, and the image shows the head of a football-headed girl with short brown hair and dark peach skin. The 'spin the wheel' button is pressed, and the wheel spins around upward until it stops. The wheel landed on the image showing a thick headed boy with apricot skin and black hair. The trio looked surprised to see the results.
"Well, what do we have here?" Edward said. "The wheel landed on Squirt, Gretchen's other cabinmate."
"It looks like we found all potential lovers for the Lakebottom trio." Lefty said.
"That's right, Lefty! We found love matches for the three campers of Camp Lakebottom. We found Stompy the Elephant as a love match for Gretchen Gritcherson, McGee for Candy Chiu, and now we found a match for Squirt, which is Dora the Explorer. It makes complete sense for Dora to be paired with someone like Squirt." Atlas said.
"It sure does, guys. Both Dora and Squirt can benefit from each other. Both are fat and chubby kids who want to make a friendship with animals, even those that look hideous to everyone around them. In fact, Squirt can join Dora and her monkey friend Boots on a quest to find the destination they want to go to, and Dora can join in on the daily activities at Lakebottom with Squirt and his cabinmates. Squirt can also help Dora stop Swiper the Fox from swiping people's belongings, and Dora can use some tactics to deal with that crazy chipmunk at the camp." Edward explained.
"How would Squirt react if he finds out Dora has a map and a backpack that both talk?" Atlas asked.
"Well, Squirt wouldn't be too surprised if he saw talking animals hanging with Dora given that Armand, one of his camp counselors, is a talking sasquatch, and is 100% friendly. But a talking map and a talking backpack is a whole other story for Squirt since he and the rest of Lakebottom residents have never seen a talking object. So for Squirt to be surprised that a map and a backpack can talk is something I can imagine to occur." Edward answered.
"I agree with you, Ed. Talking objects like toys, laptops, maps, and backpacks can take someone's experience to a whole new level of life." Lefty responded.
"I hope that Squirt and Dora would get along well if they met." Atlas said.
"I don't think there are going to be issues with them getting along. Although Dora may have a problem with Squirt for his poor hygiene. But other than that, there shouldn't be a major issue between these two." Edward said.
"No major issue between Dora and Squirt?" Atlas asked.
"I mean, I could be wrong, but Dora isn't the type of girl who would want to beef with people." Edward said.
"If Diego and Alicia were here, they probably would have said something about this pairing. After all, they are Dora's cousins." Lefty said.
"Only time can tell what they might say since Diego and Alicia are really nice people and aren't the type of people who would say mean comments to others. Same thing goes to Boots and the rest of Dora's friends and family, animal and human alike." Edward said.
"I wonder if Darren Frost, Squirt's voice actor, would make a joke out of this pairing if he found out about it." Said Atlas.
"He probably would though. He is a comedian after all." Edward said.
"What about all of Dora's voice actresses? What would their reaction be about Dora and Squirt being a couple?" Atlas asked.
"All I can say right now is that those girls would probably support them no matter what." Edward responded.
"You know, guys. Nickelodeon and 9 Story Media should team up to make a cartoon or video game one of these days. That way, Dora and Squirt would have an opportunity to interact." Lefty said.
"That's actually not a bad idea, Lefty. Both companies have branches in America and Canada, so I can really see it happening." Edward said.
"Me too, guys!" Atlas said.
"I mean, can we agree that there really can't be any issues with Nick and 9 Story producing a cartoon or video game together?" Edward said.
"Yep, there should not be any problems between those two." Lefty said.
"I feel the same." Atlas said.
