Onion Trouble

One morning in the dentist's office, Dr. Sherman was cutting onions, using safety goggles.

Inside the fish tank, Peach was watching what the dentist was doing while the others were just chilling out.

"This is new," announced Peach. "The dentist seems to be cutting onions this morning."

"Are they contagious?" asked Gurgle.

"I don't think so," said Peach. "But I've heard that they have an impact on vision."

"Well, I'm sure we won't to worry about it," said Bubbles.

"Yes," said Jacques. "We're in a fish tank, so it shouldn't be such a big deal."

"I'm not so sure about this," said Gurgle.

Meanwhile, Dr. Sherman was having a hard time cutting onions, so he accidentally tossed it into the fish tank.      

Deb was talking to her "sister", Flo, which was actually her reflection. Suddenly, she heard a thump. "Wait here, Flo," she said. "I'll be right back."

Deb swam to the Ring of Fire and saw a half onion laying on it.

After a few seconds, Deb started crying when the onion's chemical stung her eyes.

Gurgle noticed that Deb was crying, so he swam to her side. "Deb, what's wrong?" he asked her.

"My eyes hurt!" cried Deb, more tears rolling down her face.

Gurgle rolled his eyes. "It's probably only dust," he said.

Then, the onion's chemical flew near Gurgle and stung his eyes.

Gurgle felt tears slowly rolling down his face as he started crying as well.

Bloat noticed that his friends were crying, so he swam over to them. "Why are you guys crying?" he asked.

Nither Deb nor Gurgle spoke.

Gurgle rubbed his eyes while Deb cried in her fins.

"Okay..." said Bloat.

Then, the onion's chemical stung Bloat's eyes as well. Tears started streaming down his cheeks as he started crying as well.

Then, Deb, Gurgle, and Bloat heard someone else crying in a muffled way.

The three fish turned around and saw that Peach was also crying on the wall where she usually stuck to.

"Peach, are you okay?" Bloat asked from below.

Peach didn't respond. She had already gotten her eyes stung by the onion's chemical, so she couldn't see what the dentist was doing.

Then, Bubbles was playing with the bubbles stone chest.

Suddenly, one of the bubbles caught the onion's chemical after it flew near it.

Once the bubble popped, the onion's chemical stung Bubbles' eyes, which caused him to burst into tears as he started crying as well.

While Jacques was cleaning around the tank, he heard his friends crying. He ignored the sound of crying and continued cleaning.

When Jacques approached the Ring of Fire, the onion's chemical also stung his eyes.

Jacques then started crying as well. He was unable to see where to clean.

Gill got out of the skull stone and found that the gang was crying. "Gang, what's going on?" he asked.

No one responded. Tears were still dripping down their faces, and their vision was way too blurry to take notice of anything.

When Gill approached the gang, the onion's chemical stung his eyes as well.

Gill tried to keep himself from crying, but he couldn't. Tears were slowly rolling down his face as he shut his eyes tightly.

"Gill, I do have one request," said Deb.

"What's that, Deb?" asked Gill, wiping his eyes.

"Could you please get the dentist to stop cutting those onions?" asked Deb.

Gill shook his head. "I'm sorry, Deb," he said.

Then, Dr. Sherman noticed that he tossed the onion in the tank, so he removed it from the tank.

Gill was the only one who noticed it since Peach still could not use her vision through the wall. "All right, everyone stop crying," he told the gang. "The onion's gone."

The gang stopped crying and sighed in relief.

"Thank goodness," said Deb.

"I knew it," said Gurgle. "Those things were contagious."

"What if this happens again?" asked Bloat.

"I'm sure it was just a one-time thing," said Gill.

And so, everything went back the way it was, and there was not another onion problem again.

The End
