Chapter Three
Octopi will be Octopi
Octopi will be Octopi
Looking over their schedule, which was miraculously not damaged after their adventure in Botany, Kyle slumped down by Stan, who was avidly watching Cartman's attempts to free Super Dog from Mr. Fido.
"Well, the next class doesn't start for a while; we have some time to kill. What would you like to do?" Stan's attention snapped to Kyle, his expression horror-struck.
"'The Next Class'?!"
"Well of course. We just finished our first class. Seems we have a break and then one last class before the day is over." Kyle explained, Stan just shook his head in disbelief.
"Well, whatever we have next- it better not be another scavenger hunt." Referring back to the paper, Kyle reported their next class.
"We have Marine Biology."
"You guys have Marine Bio too?" Bringing their attention to the new imposters to the dialogue, Kyle and Stand found themselves staring at both Cabins One and Two. Mishiga merely shrugged at the boy's blank looks.
"What? You were talking pretty loud... Yeah, but turns out that all of us have Marine Biology next." Before anyone could even do anything, a springy blonde-haired chick wearing a red jacket tackled Kyle, squealing with happiness.
"KYLE~!!!" However, the body didn't share this enthusiasm hurriedly fidgeting every which way to get the girl off of him.
"AW GODDAMNIT BEBE!!! Why do you have to bug me?" He wasn't the only one who didn't approve of her actions, although it was hardly noticeable, Mishiga's smile twitched a bit. Wendy smiled pleasantly at Stan, concurrently sending Kyle into a sprint away from the boy.
"Isn't that great Stan? We get to take-- EW!" Turns out that Kyle's actions were pretty smart, for about 3 seconds after Wendy started talking, Stan honked up his breakfast. Watching him, Mishiga thought of something.
"That reminds me- you guys know where the Cafeteria-thing is, right?"
The "Cafeteria-type thing" was just a little walk down from the cabins and was a pretty standard place. It was made of stones, but otherwise looked like a larger version of the cabins. The inside was pretty warm making the frosty land outside the windows seem like a picture. As the group entered inside of it, they found it floored with nice wood and a lot of rugs here and there. There were many long, shiny tables about the room and to the North there was a cut in the wall and a door on each point of them- one for the kitchen, and the other two for the bathrooms. Upon entering the structure the horde was greeted by a cheery blonde hair girl with a slight hint of make up on her and a very annoyed looking chocolate-haired girl with matching brown eyes who seemed to be counting all the other things she should have been doing at the time. The blonde quickly twirled about the group.
"Good Afternoon and welcome to Cafe' Teria!" She stopped, apparently waiting for her partner to do something. After a while of nothing happening, the girl smiled at the bunch and repeatedly jabbed her friend and the two murmured a speedy argument.
"Sayit!"
"No."
"Sayit."
"I'mnotsayinganygaylines"
"SAYIT." Apparently seeing she wasn't going to win this argument, the brown haired girl mumbled the rest of the greeting.
"My name is Waffles... And that's Chi... And we're your waitresses for the day."
Recognizing the two, Mishiga grinned pleasantly.
"Hiya Chi, Waffles! You guys got waiter duty today?"
"Waiter duty? What's that?" Kyle asked, curious.
"It's when you go and be a waiter?" Chi tried to explain, Mishiga added onto her explanation, trying to help the newcomers understand.
"See, the cafeteria works differently than you may be used to. It's more like a cafe- and each of the cabins take turns being the waiters and stuff."
"So does that mean that we have to sing that gay song when we're doing Waiter duty?" Cartman asked, disturbed and Waffles scowled at him.
"You're gay."
"Nah, that was just something that Chi made up." Kiichigo laughed at the two, and nudged Mishiga.
"Those two remind me of each other." As everyone dispersed to find tables, Stan noticed that Butters was still lagging behind. He went back and waved his hand in front of the boy's eyes.
"Hey, Butters... Dude? You okay?" Brought back to Earth, Butters blinked and looked at Stan.
"Huh? Oh yeah! I'm good..." As Stan began to steer the blonde-poof-haired boy to his seat Butter's eyes followed Chi around the room. However his bliss of mind lasted only a moment for Zakuro whooshed up into his face.
"YOU THINK SHE'S PRETTY DON'T YOU--" She was then nailed to the floor by an angry duo of Mishiga and Kiichigo and a bored Shiori. Mishiga and Kiichigo glared angrily at the girl.
"DON'T RUIN ROMANTIC SCENES--" Seeing Butters' and Stan’s looks, the three smiled and dragged Zakuro off with them.
Carefully avoiding the river, which was teeming with ominous-looking frogs, Stan and friends made their way over to the Marine Biology area accompanied by Cabins One and Two. On the porch, the octopus plushy was awaiting them, and chirped a cheery greeting when they were in hearing range,
"Oogle~! Good Afternoon, yup!" As the children gathered around her for the lesson, the teacher took a shell out of her handy-dandy Octo-Utility-Belt-Pouch. Holding it up, she inquired of the class,
"Can anyone tell me what kind of shell this is, yup?"
"It's a Conch." Whereas many of the kids were staring at the teacher, drool hanging out of their mouths in a "What the heck is this teacher talking about" fashion, two campers answered the question as if it was something that even the youngest of children know- Mishiga and Bebe. Noticing that the other had stolen each other's glory, they just tossed a look and turned their attention back to the teacher. Quite shocked that someone had actually answered, the teacher stumbled on.
"Hmm.. Would you happen to know what kind of animal it--"
"It's a Mollusk." The two blurted out, and once again noticing that the other had responded, they glared at each other, Mishiga tossing a slight tongue jab at the girl as well. Trying to find something that she could teach on, the teacher tried again.
"And what type of Mollusk--"
"It'sfromtheGastropodafamily!" The two girls raced each other in answering, and glared at each other angrily nose-to-nose, spouting off excess information about the family.
"It includes snails-"
"and cowries-"
"and limpets-"
"Slugs-"
"and abalone." Only the girl's pure anger pulsed through the silence, until Miss Whelk laughed nervously. "Looks like we have a couple of Marine Biology experts in today’s class, yup. Forcin' me to go with the diving plan, are you, yep?"
"SWIMMINGISLIKETHETOTALLYCOOLESTCOOLAWESOMETHINGEVER!" Zakuro exclaimed, doing a cannonball into the ice-speckled water without hesitation. After a couple of seconds, she burst from under the water and looked up at the group, pout-like.
"The water's cold."
"You're supposed to put on a scuba suit first." Mishiga shouted back at her. "Even Shiori knew tha--" She was interrupted by a splash and resurfacing of her hooded friend who agreed on her concept of the water. With a sigh, Mishiga shook her head. "Why do I even try?"
After everyone had been properly suited up for the job, Miss Whelk described the lesson to them.
"Ooogle~! So we're going to be taking a tour of the lake and I'll point certain things out to you, it's a pretty large lake so sticking together is vital." She closed her eyes and nodded a couple of times, "Yup, yup, yup." Before the scuba equipped children could jump into the water, the teacher stopped them.
"Oh, yup! Almost forgot, yup!" She tossed each of them a fork, her only explanation being "for the flksoirgs", which would have probably meant 'frog' had the author not made a typo. Before the group jumped in the water, Bebe and Mishiga shot each other a competitive look and elegantly dived in, causing Zakuro to nudge Shiori with a smug smirk on her face.
"I bet they're fighting for a different reason~!" Leaning over the edge of the small cliff they were jumping in, Shiori shouted back to Mishiga.
"You hear that!? That just happened, Mishiga! Just happened!!" However, the two were pushed in by an angry Cartman, causing Kenny to Mrph in irritation.
"What?" Cartman gave him a look, "They were standing on the edge!"
Under water, the lake was very foggy and pretty green; however, it wasn't too bad of a fog to end up being called murky. The water was pretty quiet, as water is, and it was filled with few fish and only an occasional frog here and there. Guiding the children to the bottom of the lake shore, she took a quick count and then cheerfully showed them a field of fuzzy looking plants.
"Class, these are--"
"Hornworts!" The girls burst out in unison. "Of the genus Ceratophyllum!" Glaring at each other the girls angrily groaned. Miss Whelk shook her head in a semi-cheerful manor.
"Is there anything that I can teach this class, yup?"
"Okay, okay, okay! If I sneeze with my hands covering my nose and mouth will my head explode?" Zakuro inquired of the teacher, causing the Giant Octopus in her specialized scuba suit to groan.
"I mean something actually important, yup." As she swam off, Cartman informed the group.
"I hear that if you do that, your head explodes."
"No. It doesn't." Stan muttered.
"It so does. I'm seriously." Cartman looked at the boy solemnly.
"Does not, fatass." Kyle glared at him.
"How do you know, Jew?!" Cartman shot him an angry glance, and Kyle just shook his head and turned.
"Come on you guys."
Miss Whelk arrived back with a small, moving shell in her hand. Showing to the class, she began her lecture.
"Ooogle~! See this little guy here, yup?" Out of the shell popped a crab-like creature who shyly went to moving about Miss Whelk's hand/tentacle. "He--"
"AHERMITCRAB!" Mishiga and Bebe immediately burst out, then at pretty much the speed of light, the two raced with another informational work. "They have a habit for changing shells and use the shells to protect them, sometimes they also fight over shells." Without even taking a breath the two went at each other, causing the rest of the class to stare at them strangely. The Octopus just ignored the fight and shrugged.
"Guess I'll have to find something else, yup.... You just wait here a while for me to get back, yup." With that, she left the students watching a fight between Bebe and Mishiga. Going up to Stan, Wendy shook her head.
"I wonder what's gotten into Bebe-- EW!" Stan suddenly found a way to barf underwater. Watching the barf float around, Wendy looked confused at Stan.
"I never knew you ate plums."
"Hey Mishiga, look at this!" Kiichigo summoned Mishiga over and showed her the cavern. "Isn't it strange?"
"Let's explore it!" Bebe demanded, causing even Cartman to glance at her like she was insane.
"What?!"
"That is, if you're serious about Marine Biology, headband." Bebe challenged Mishiga, who readily accepted the challenge.
"Of course. What are we waiting here for?"
"Guys? What are you doing?" Butter's asked, worried, seeing all the children going in the cave. Stan motioned for him to follow.
"Come on Butters."
"But the teacher said..." He argued, rather weakly.
"She never specifically said 'Don't go in the cave', did she?" Stan argued. However, Miss Whelk suddenly shouted to the class.
"DON'T GO WANTING INTO ANY CAVES, YUP!" Stan slammed his hand against his face in annoyance. This was going to have to be done the hard way.
The group came into a large portion of the cave, Stan dragging a wall clenching Butters on a long string of sea plants. Slightly disturbed at the silence and endless murky, algae covered rock walls, Mishiga and Bebe silently reached a quick truce and decided that it was time to leave. Twisting about, the group was about to leave- when a bunch of rock collapsed, closing off the way that the group had come from. Horribly confused, the children faced the giant rock wall with looks of disbelief on their faces.
"How the hell did that happen!?" Cartman demanded angrily of the rock road block. As if just to answer their question, a muffled "EXTREEEEEEEME!!" was heard from above and the children groaned in annoyance.
"Guess we have no other choice but than to go all the way through." Mishiga shrugged and started swimming along the cavern, as Butters pitifully hung his head.
"Aw hamburgers. Now my parents are going to ground me for sure!"
Coming to an upward slant in the cave, the children followed it and found that it lead to an air filled cavern with shiny, wet marble walls and everything. As the group all huddled onto the cavern surface, they found themselves looking at a pretty dark, dank cavern.
"Aw- that's perfect. How are we going to see in this?!" Stan complained, angrily.
"Yeah! SERIOUSLY!" Cartman exclaimed angrily- and then farted, lighting things up. This caused many looks from the children. Kyle, especially, who could barely bring himself to point at the kid in disbelief.
"Cartman did you just-"
"YES."
"And it just-"
"YES."
"Wow. That's just... Wow."
"Mrph, miff mrph, mrph, mrph, mrf!" Kenny suggested, causing the boys and Shiori to crack up. After this laughter cleared up, Stan wiped his eyes.
"Well, what are you waiting for Cartman? Fart so we can figure out how to get out of here." Mumbling crossly, the boy let Fluffy off the leash- only to have the light reveal a giant, monstrous, slimy tan-skinned creature with a pen in its hand that flashed it's razor-sharp teeth at them and growled in a horrifying voice,
"BUY SOME CO-----------OKIES." The only one who was brave enough, either that or stupid enough, to speak was Cartman, who began to reach into his pocket.
"What kinds do you have?"
"ONLY LEMON!" This caused the children to scream and sprint away from the cave dweller in fear. As it trampled after them, the children hid behind a slip in the wall (Caves are weird like that) and waited until the monster salesman had ran far past them. Breathing once again, the group stared at each other in fear.
"Dear god we have to get out of here!" Shiori commented.
"Mrf!" Kenny exclaimed through his tightly pulled up hood.
"Well, we only have to be careful of the monster. It's not like this cave is anything but level." Mishiga encouraged the group, and they stepped out finding themselves face to face with a giant wall leading up from the floor they were on.
"We going to climb that wall?" Kiichigo asked, a determined look in her eyes.
"Yep." Mishiga replied, her eyes concentrated as well.
"Going to do it rock climbing style?" Shiori inquired, her eyes fierce.
"Yep."
"Gonna jump off when we get to the top?" Zakuro inquired, following their determined eye style.
"Ye- wait! What?! No. NO!" Mishiga stammared/
Three quarters of the way up the wall, Butters noticed something horrible.
"Oh, hey. It's that monster guy." Shocked, Mishiga looked down at him.
"What? Where!?"
"Oh, he's at the bottom just staring up at me." Mishiga shrugged this off, relieved.
"Ah, he's no issue. It's not like he has wings or any-" The creature whipped out a giant pair of wings from his back causing Mishiga to finish her statement in a solemn state. "--ohdeargodwe'rescrewed."
The monster quickly reached the children and grasped out for Kenny, almost got him too. However, it was frightened away by Shiori hammering it a good one in the jaw. Amazed, Stan looked up at the floating Shiori who helped Kenny back onto the rope that Mishiga was laying out.
"Dude! What the heck are you standing on!?!" Zakuro raised her hand.
"Ay."
However, the monster wasn't done yet. As Mishiga helped people up from the cliff, the monster lifted itself up and flew up to the top of the cavern.
"BUY SOME CO-----------OKIES!" From behind the monster, the children were horrified to see ten or more other monsters pop up, chanting along with the first,
"CO-----------OKIES, dangit, CO-----------OKIES, dangit!!"
"Hey look at guys! We're almost out!" Butters exclaimed, pointing far away to a spot where the water dipped under and was released into the sea. Mishiga shook her head.
"Oh... We're going to have to sacrifice someone..."
"A-ha-ha! You know what we should do? We should totally do this "YOU AH THE WEAKEST LINK" thing where we just leave behind the most annoying person and stuff!!" Zakuro exclaimed, causing everyone to look over at her in a strange way.
"What?" She asked, confused. Mishiga saluted her, as the rest of the group ran off.
"You were a nice friend to do this Zak."
"Do what?" Zakuro asked blankly
"Gonna miss you Zak!" Shiori shouted at her before diving into the sea with everyone else and then sealed off the escape, causing the girl even more confusion.
"Going to miss...?" She turned to the monsters who were practically breathing down her neck. "Do you know what they're talking about?"
The monsters shook their head and crowded around the girl, angrily. "BUY SOME CO-----------OKIES!!"
The group surfaced and found Miss Whelk with a pen and paper over by the cabin surrounded by crumbled pieces of paper. As they came within hearing range the group noted she sounded awfully stressed.
"They.. Went and got carried off by a Shark, yup? No, yup. No, yup. Everyone knows there's no shark in that lake, yup.. What about the Lake Monster, yup? That could work, yup..."
"Hiya Miss Whelk!" Mishiga exclaimed, causing the teacher to spazz out frantically.
"AUOOGGLE!! You've come to get revenge, yup! Don't hurt me, yup!"
"We're not going to hurt you... We just came back from the..." Kiichigo tried to explain to the teacher, but she wouldn't have any of it. However, she seemed quite relieved.
"Wait, you guys.. You can be seen by everyone, right?" Kiichigo tried once again to convince the teacher.
"Yeah because we're-"
"Okay, yup! Please, yup! I beg of you, yup! Go around and pretend that you're not dead and you're still very much alive, yup!"
"But we actually are--" Cartman covered Kiichigo's mouth with his hand and inquired the teacher.
"What's in it for us?"
"...I have a couple of pretty seashells.." The teacher suggested, however, Cartman wasn't pleased.
"Ah, breaking my balls, Miss, breaking my balls."
"25 cents?"
Spread about the cabins, the freshly showered children were jumbled together in a quick break before dinner. Mishiga quickly went over everyone checking to see if anyone was badly injured. When she came to the PsP playing Shiori and Kenny, the two shrugged.
"I'm fine, but Kenny says that he has this strange craving for Lemon Cookies..."
"Mrph."
"It's from the cave." Zakuro stated, hanging upside-down next to them.
"Zak? How the..? What the..? Wait. What in the world are you hanging on?" Shiori and Mishiga just stared at the girl in disbelief.
"The cave has parasites living in it which infect their host through wounds and make them become obsessed with lemon cookies. You probably got infected when the monster got you with his talons and scratched you. Luckily it wasn't too bad or else you would be..." the upside-down child shuddered, "addicted to lemon cookies." Overhearing the converstion Stan shook his head.
"That's just stupid. There is no such thing as a parasite which causes people to become addicted to lemon--" He was interrupted by Kenny who dived into a pile of Lemon Cookie boxes eagerly.
"Where the heck did those come from?" Mishiga stared at the boxes that seemed to have appeared from out of no where.
"Oh those? It's a gift from some friends of mine... They really like Lemon Cookies... Or dare I say, CO-----------OKIES."
