A creature crept up to the storage facility by the bay. Two workers, Dominic and Ashly, spotted the creature as it slowly approached them, growling. It was all red with evil looking eyes and a moustache. It had four legs, each with large feet and a long tail. It's head was huge. It's nostrils were right above the mouth that stuck out like a snout. From the tail to the head, it was about fifteen feet long.
"I'm hungry," the creature hissed at the workers.
Dominic's short chubby body was trembling in fright of the strange creature. Ashly, the tall skinny one, looked like she was about to faint.
"What should we do?" Dominic asked his partner.
Ashly was too scared to speak.
"How about feeding it?" A voice said behind them. The two turned their heads to see Mitical, their boss, standing behind them with his arms crossed. "That is what it wants, right?"
"I guess we should do that," Dominic agreed, still a little shaky.
"W-whats your name?" Ashly asked the creature.
"Shmuck," the creature introduced himself.
Ashly and Dominic burst out laughing, all fear long forgotten.
"You think my name is funny?" Shmuck asked, his voice scaring away the two's laughter in an instant.
"No, sorry," Dominic lied.
"Attention to the both of you," Mitical began. "Go and fetch some food for shmuck at once!"
Dominic blinked, then grinned. "ATTENTION: WE MUST RETRIEVE THE FOOD," Dominic shouted at Ashly.
"ATTENTION: I AGREE," Ashly yelled back.
"Why are you two saying attention?" Mitical wondered out loud.
"ATTENTION: BECAUSE WE WANTED TO," Ashly answered.
"ATTENTION: WE WILL CONTINUE TO UNTIL WE FIND A SNACKIE FOR SHMUCK," Dominic stated, still in a very loud voice.
"Then get going already!" Mitical commanded them, pointing back at the storage area.
"ATTENTION: FOLLOW ME!" Ashly yelled, running into the facility.
"ATTENTION: I'M RIGHT BEHIND YOU," Dominic ran after her.
"Hurry up you two!" Mitical ordered them.
Ashly and Dominic ran into the building and stopped just inside the door.
"What are you waiting for?" Mitical asked them.
Dominic pulled out his cell phone. "ATTENTION: I WILL STAY HERE WHILE YOU GRAB THE SNACKIE! LET ME KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON."
"ATTENTION: UNDERSTOOD," Ashly saluted him, then continued into the facility to find food.
Dominic walked back up to Mitical and Shmuck. "ATTENTION: ASHLY IS GATHERING A SNACKIE FOR SHMUCK AS I SPEAK," Dominic informed them.
"Good," Shmuck hissed.
"Stop saying 'attention' before you speak," Mitical ordered him. It was an order Dominic would not follow.
Dominic's cell phone rang, and he answered it to hear Ashly's voice on the other side. He put it on speaker phone so everyone could hear.
"ATTENTION: I HAVE SPOTTED THE FOOD," Ashly informed them. "WHAT FOOD WOULD SHMUCK LIKE AS HIS SNACKIE?"
"How about some cheese," Shmuck decided.
"ATTENTION: SHMUCK WANTS CHEESE," Dominic yelled into the phone.
"UNDERSTOOD," Ashly replied.
"ATTENTION: YOU DIDN'T SAY ATTENTION!" Dominic scolded her.
"ATTENTION: I AM SO SORRY," Ashly apologized. A rustling sound came from the phone as Ashly moved food around so she could get the cheese.
"ATTENTION: JUST REMEMBER NEXT TIME."
"ATTENTION: DO I GET A DETENTION?"
"ATTENTION: I'LL LET YOU OFF THE HOOK THIS TIME, JUST DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN."
"ATTENTION: HUZZAH! NO DETENTION FOR ME! FANK YOU!" (thank you)
"ATTENTION: YOU ARE WELCOME."
There was a pause and more movement from Ashly's side of the phone.
"I can't believe you two," Mitical said, shaking his head.
"ATTENTION: CHEESE LOCATED," Ashly reported.
"ATTENTION: GOOD JOB, NOW BRING IT HERE FOR SHMUCK," Dominic ordered her.
"ATTENTION: AHH! A MOUSE!"
"ATTENTION: LEAVE IT ALONE AND BRING THE CHEESE HERE."
"ATTENTION: IF I DON'T DO SOMETHING, THE MOUSE WILL EAT THE FOOD! GET OUT OF HERE LITTLE MOUSEY!"
"ATTENTION: THEN GET RID OF IT, JUST DON'T KILL IT!"
"ATTENTION: ROGER!" Dominic, Mitical, and Shmuck waited as Ashly tried to get the mouse to leave.
"ATTENTION: OWWIE! IT BIT MEH NOOSHE!" (It bit my nose)
"ATTENTION: THAT'S WHAT YOU GET!"
ATTENTION: WHEN YOU LET YOUR HEART WIN! WHOA OH WHOA OH OH!"
"ATTENTION: STOP SINGING THAT'S WHAT YOU GET BY PARAMORE!"
"ATTENTION: VERY SORRY MADAM."
"ATTENTION: I'M A BOY THANK YOU VERY MUCH!" Dominic flailed his fists around, even though Ashly was nowhere in sight.
"ATTENTION: OH...OOPS."
"If I don't get any food, I'm going to eat one of you!" Shmuck told them. He was very hungry now.
"ATTENTION: HURRY UP OR ONE OF US WILL GET EATEN," Dominic informed Ashly.
"ATTENTION: GO THAT WAY! NO, THAT WAY! AH!" Is what came from Ashly's side of the cell phone. There was a pause, then Ashly spook again. "ATTENTION: THE MOUSE HAS LEFT THE BUILDING. I AM ON MY WAY NOW WITH THE CHEESE."
"ATTENTION: HURRY IT UP," Dominic said. A few minutes later, Ashly appeared outside with a ton of cheese in her hands.
"ATTENTION: THE CHEESE HAS ARRIVED," Ashly announced.
Shmuck crawled over and Ashly dropped the cheese on the ground. Shmuck munched it all up, then walked away without saying anything else.
"ATTENTION: NOW THAT THE SNACKIE CRISIS IS OVER WITH, WE CAN STOP SPEAKING LIKE THIS," Dominic told Ashly.
"Good," Mitical approved.
"Okay," Ashly said.
"Phew, glad that's over with," Dominic relaxed. He put his cell phone away after hanging it up, Ashly doing the same.
"I can't believe you two just did that," Mitical told them, walking away.
Dominic and Ashly high-fived each other, then leaned against the wall of the storage facility. With the crisis over, everything was back to normal.
