C.C.'s Adventures in Twisted Wonderland

Chapter 3-4-1: He's a Merman

***Deserted Island - Bungalow***

3rd POV:

"Welp, let's get foraging. We could hit up the same places as yesterday if we wanna go for fruit again." Ace states. "Nah, that's borin'. I'm in the mood for somethin' salty today." Floyd states. "Then let's head to the beach, as planned." Azul states before heading to the shore.

***Deserted Island - Shore***

"So, we're here. Are we gonna do some fishing?" Ace asks. "Seriously, Crabby? Are you hopin' to just toss a string into the water and skip out on work?" Floyd asks unhappily. "Uh, no? Fishing IS work!" Ace exclaims in protest. "Hmph. Waiting for fish to bite is a waste of valuable time." Azul states. "Sure is. It's way faster to just dive in and catch 'em." Floyd states in agreement. "I can't do that!" Ace exclaims. "Why not? You a bad swimmer or somethin'? I could always take you down to the sea floor so you can side-shimmy like a real crab." Floyds states. "Don't be too hard on him, Floyd. We can task him with gathering shellfish along the shoreline." Azul states.

"My swimming skills aren't the problem. It's the whole catching a fish bare-handed in the water part. Nobody can do that!" Ace exclaims. "Sure they can. It's super easy once you figure out the trick. Who knows? You might get into it if you give it a shot. It's fun chasin' fish while they swim around in a panic." Floyd states. "I'll leave Ace to you then, Floyd. If you'll excuse me..." Azul says before walking away. "Dang, Azul's in rare form today. He must be in a good mood." Floyd says. "I think it's probably more that he's feeling a lot better after the fruit incident...Wait, bed rest or no—how in the world is he swimming THAT fast?!" Ace asks in suprise. "He's a merman, whaddaya expect? Even in human form, swimmin' comes pretty naturally to us." Floyd states nonchalntly.

C.C. POV:

Our group was just walking around after going to assessing the damages of Stitch's ship. "Look, it's Ace's team!" Grim says as we approach the shore and see Ace and Floyd. "Oh, hey guys. Here to help?" Ace asks. "Someone's gotta watch over you to make sure you're gettin' us some good grub." Grim states in reply while Stitch smiles and raises his arms. "I'll help!" Bubba exclaims. "For real? Sweet, thanks! Floyd and Azul expect me to dive into the water and catch fish with my bare hands. I could use all the help I can get." Ace says. "Count me in! Fresh fish feast, here I come!" Grim exclaims while Stitch frowns and backs away. "You don't seem too into it today, Stitch. Don't you wanna come with?" Floyd asks, Stitch shakes his head in reply and starts making something. "He's makin' somethin' again." Grim observes. "It's..." Ace trails off.
