"whoo hoo! Port!" Ebo cheered when they found it. She looked around, "Funny, i was expecting more alcohol..."
The Bug Guy pressed a button and big rubber floats inflated around the edge of the limo. They set off into the water, the made it out about a mile past the breakers and sank like a rock.
Ebo looked out the window at the fish swimming by, "Pretty! I want one!" she hit the button and the window started to go down.
The big guy quickly hit the up button on his side and put the windows on Child Saftey lock. After thinking for a moment he locked the doors as well. Then he decided that it might be time to start thinking about this sinking thing that was happening...he didn't remember this as being what was supposed to happen.

"Hey. Cool. Is this supposed to happen?" Ebo piped up. (Piped is such a cool word!)
"Um, I don't remember. Where's the Manual?"
"Great." Teela said, sarcasm dripping off the word. "I'll find the Manual. Okay, got it. If hovering, go to page 42. Nope. If floating, go to page 222. Sadly, no." Teela kept reading. "No, no, no, sorry, ah ha! Here we are! If sinking, go to page 5,000. Page, page, okay. 'THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. PLEASE LEAVE THE VEHICLE.' Hey, look, all caps and underlined. Well, I suppose we should leave the car then. Everyone got a flotation buddy?"
"Yup." Ebo said, grabbing Teela's arm.
The Big Guy got a sad look on his face. "I don't have a buddy."
"I'll be your buddy." Teela said.
"Now I don't have one."
"Sure you do. I'm your buddy, he's my buddy, and your his buddy. Very simple."
The Big Guy was looking out the window. "Sorry to interrupt, but we need to leave."
"Oh. Yes."
They all took a deep breath and opened the door...but the water wasn't coming in...

Then they noticed the Hippie. "He's still here, isn't he?" said Ebo.
"Apparently." said the Big Guy. "Well, now that we know that, why is the water not rushing in?"
"Good question."
The Hippie grunted: "Do you want it to come in?"
"No."
"Well, there you go."
"Okay then."

*Break from story*
A lone man stands holding a sign: PLEASE REVIVE THE SILLINESS!!!
A woman walks up to him. "What silliness?"
"An RP thread. Like Douglas Adams spread across 5 people."
"Oh, I love Douglas Adams!" The woman runs home and grabs a sign and marker.
Soon, millions started chanting. Who knows what, for all we care it could be "Organleggers!"
*End of break. Have fun*

"What about tash?" Ebo asked. This floatation buddy thing wasn't going so well.
"Tash can be the hippi's buddy."
"I see."
"So why isn't the water coming in?" Tash asked.
"Oh, of course," the big guy slapped his head, "I forgot to turn the child safty lock off." he poised his hand over the button, "Please put all seat backs and tray tables in their upright and locked position. In the unlikly event of a water landing your seat cusions can be used as flotation de-"
"Hey look!" Ebo shouted, inturrupting the Big Guy, "An underwater bubble house thing." she pointed at a underwater house thing, "Its like that old cartoon, Sealab 2020."
Tash spoke up, "Its 2021 now. Cartoon network revised it for adult swim."
Teela sighed, "Were not having fun anymore are we?"
"No."
"Not so much."
"Nope-o"
Ebo pushed her nose against the glass, "Hey look, their having a party at that bubble house thing."

"A party? Think we can join? I haven't been to a party for a while." Tash wondered.
"Sure, why not?" The Big Guy replied.
"So, let's go."
"Okay then."
"Okay."
"Okay. Going. Bye." Ebo said.
All of them followed her, all deciding that she had the right idea.
Teela, who had a unique swimming style, reached the door. She waited for the others. She gestured "Do we knock?"
Tash shrugged. He knocked. It echoed.
A tall ma-, wom-, well, something opened the door. It gestured to come in. They went in, and took a breath.
"Thanks." all of them breathed, sooner or later.
"Chips?" It asked.

"Yes, please we would love some chips." Ebo said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
The thing offered them a large bowl, it was filled with a a bunch of small, green, plastic things with metal dot's on them.
Teela picked one up and sniffed it, "This is a wierd chip."
Tash examened one, "I think its a computer chip."
The big guy sighed, "Thats not exactly what a had in mind."
Ebo crunched, "Aww, there not so bad," se said through a mouthfull of chips.
"Follow me and you can meet the other guests," the thing said and slopped off down the hall.
The group followed.
"Excuse me everyone," the thing said, "we have some new guests. They come from land."
The other guests said things like, "How nice." and "facinating." and "What i see here in not a negitive occurunce but a potentaily positive learning experiance." Teela made a mental note to avoid that last guy.
They decended a few stairs and entered the large room the other guests greeted them in the (what they assumed) was the costomary fasion by picking them up, tying them to stakes, and setting them on spits to rotate over a fire.
"Dinner will be served shortly," the host thing announced.
"This is a strange kind of party," the big guy said wairily, he blew on his coat where it had caught on fire.
"But isn't it fun!" ebo laughed.

"Am I the only one who realizes that we may be dinner?" Teela asked innocently.
"No, no." replied Tash. "I seem to think the same thing."
"So, any ideas on how we get out?"
"Sorry."
The Big Guy asked: "Will brute strength help?"
"Sure!" a few voices said.
"I'll try." He tried. It worked. Well, halfway. The Big Guy was now closer to the fire than he wanted to be. "Well, if I succeed, I fall into the fire. If I don't, I fall into the fire. Let's try again." He tried. He fell, but not into the fire, thereby smothering it. "Hey, whadda ya know! It worked! So, should I untie you or what?"
Ebo was still giggling. Everyone looked, well, tried to look, and they all reached a silent consensus: she needed help.
Then Tash said: "That's a possibility, untying us. Or you can fight off those people."

Ebo rolled here eyes, "Silly Tash. They're not PEOPLE. They're swamp things. I hope they're good cooks too because I'm famished!"
"I'm on fire," Tash said shaking his leg as best he could to get it out.
The big guy put the small fire on Tash's leg out then untyed him. He put Tash on his feet then moved onto Ebo.
"Look out behind you!" Teela screamed.
Thinking fast the Big Guy grabbed the Ebo's stick (with her still tied to it) and swung it at the thing behind him. It hit the thing in the head hard enough to knock any person out. Unfortuanatly, the thing wasn't a person. It's soft skin absorbed the blow and conformed around the stick and Ebo's legs.
Ebo giggled, "That tickles!"
The thing licked Ebo's leg, tasting.
"Ick! You tasted awful! Realease them! We don't want to eat them!"
"We could order chineese," another thing offered.
The others agreed. They untied the prisonors and kicked them out into the ocean. They swam to the surface and hitched a ride on a passing whale.
"You know, I think they where going to eat us," Teela said after she caught her breath.

As the whale swam in the moonlight, the mood in the air shifted. Clouds began to boil and seeth across the star dappled sky.
It now was a dark and stormy night. Suddenly a shot rang out! The maids screamed!! Bathed in St. Elmo's Fire, a pirate ship appeared on the horizon!!!
