Beetlejuice’s aggression toward Madame Geoffrey has intensified. However, authorities are no longer certain it’s because the two have a deep-seated animosity for the other.
Beetlejuice’s race across the tank and slamming into the wall has started to look absurd. It begins as an undignified dance that consists of wriggling about and itching on the rocks and usually finishes with him hitting the wall with his face so hard that it moves a bit. What attracted everyone’s attention was not the tiresome display of aggression but the lack of wriggling and itching when Madame Geoffrey was removed from the Mansion.
Madame Geoffery’s been in and out of the repurposed Palace/Supermax Prison turned hospital with a cold that keeps resurging. Whenever she is moved back into the Mansion, Beetlejuice starts his weird dance within minutes. A month of this behavior has everyone, even us at The Bubbly Review, suspecting that Madame Geoffrey has something that affects Beetlejuice; whether it’s a parasite or bacterial disease is unknown because the doctors have tried everything on her. Anxiety is rising among the authorities because whatever is bothering Beetlejuice is making him sick with…something that isn’t ick but acts like swim bladder disease half the time. No one can decide who should be medicated first: Beetlejuice or the dear Madame. There is also the problem of no one knowing what medicine to use.
Authorities have been researching antibiotics, which are hard to get without an aquatic vet’s prescription, as well as other weird medications. Two antibiotic concoctions seem promising, but the authorities are indecisive.
We’re all holding our breath while authorities muddle about like usual. Getting rid of extra fish tanks has failed since authorities have a sick tank up yet again.
