“Welcome to the daily Algae Games where we get to see if our pleco, Milktoast, will get her food. What do you think, Dover, will she get to eat today?”
“Well Mackerel, I firmly believe that Milktoast is capable of taking on any of these fish, even without teeth. I think the real question is not will she get to eat, but what will happen first: Milktoast busting out the tail smack or Lunch Lady adding a second tablet? We may see some real action today.”
“I guess we’ll find out. The food has been put in and everyone is at the top scarfing away. Lunch Lady carefully drops the tablet in the back of the tank. It’s falling with lazy flips along the side of the heater. Dover, this may be a boring game, nobody has noticed it.”
“I don’t know Mackerel you know how quickly—Beetlejuice has noticed the tablet! He swoops in and tries to stick the whole thing in his mouth, but it’s too big!”
“Ninja Smee has noticed Beetlejuice awkwardly swimming and chewing and now rips the tablet from his mouth in a well-played swoop.”
“But she can’t keep hold of it and it drops to the bottom of the tank! Milktoast sees it and makes her way towards it. Oh no, Chummy has picked it up.”
“His mouth is even smaller than Beetlejuice’s, Dover, he can’t possibly hold on to it for long.”
“You’re right. Ezekiel has swiped the tablet from his mouth, but Chummy isn’t going to let him get away with that and with a scaley swipe and flipper flick, he gets the tablet back. But wait, Sassy has noticed the tablet and rushes over. Chummy drops it in his haste to get away!”
“Milktoast intercepts Sassy, but she can’t find the tablet. It now sits at the bottom of the tank. Pinky and Brain have found it and are nibbling away.”
“Sassy gets around Milktoast and grabs the tablet. His mouth is so big that only a fourth of the tablet is showing. Geoffrey leisurely swims up to Sassy and he spits it out to share.”
“Such a gentleman, Dover. It looks like Lunch Lady is going to add another tablet.”
“I don’t think she’s ready to end the game yet, Mackerel.”
“Sassy has lost interest in the tablet and Beetlejuice has chased Geoffrey away. Chummy nips at Beetlejuice and takes the tablet. He’s chewing ferociously.”
“He loses his grip! PUC and Sweetart converge on the tablet like they haven’t eaten ever.”
“Milktoast has located the tablet!”
“She’s approaching them at a speed I’ve never seen her move at before. She such an amazing athlete.”
“PUC and Sweetart run away and Milktoast hides the tablet under her body! Will anyone challenge her possession?”
“Beetlejuice, Smee, and Chummy are certainly thinking about it. Look how they hover over like three helicopters waiting for her to move.”
“Smee has given up and Chummy has decided to go after Beetlejuice. It looks like Milktoast has won and will get to eat three-fourths of the tablet!”
“Thanks for joining us today. Our presentation was brought to you by That Fish Store. ‘Where you get all the tasty food.’ This is Dover and Mackeral from the Gravel Channel signing off until tomorrow.”
