| Melvin, Velvetta and Bob exited, stage left (sort
of) and headed out into the beer commune again. They walked for what
seemed like miles and miles. Finally Melvin exclaimed "STOP!!! We're here."
Bob and Velvetta were very confused. Where exactly was here? They were
in the middle of a big grassy field, surrounded on 3 sides by trees. (the
4 side wasn't surrounded by anything. In fact, it wasn't really there.
It sort of shimmered like a magic mirror would, but of course, everyone
knows that there aren't any magic mirrors in a beer commune. Really.) "Come,
quick. I have some I want you to meet." and with that Melvin took two steps
forward and disappeared. Bob screamed and started to run off, but Velvetta
grabed him by the hair and drug him (kicking and screaming.) into where
ever it was Melvin went. When Velvetta recovered from the fall, he realized
he was in deep dark cave that had walls that shimmered and glowed with
a faint purple-y/green irridesence. There was water running down some of
the walls and crystals (cubic Veronica) sparkled in every corner. It was
like the inside of Bob's closet. Vel quickly scrambled to his feet and
ran off to find Melvin and Bob, who had apparently disappeared after what
Vel assumed was the fall that had knocked him out. He turned a corner at
break neck speed and almost ran into Bob who was just coming out to get
him. Bob lead him into a living room. (Underground? Yes, indeed it was
an underground living room. Imagine that.) On a couch, carved out of the
stone, sat Melvin and some person. They were watching a TV (also carved
out of the stone. It got really awesome recepition, but hey, that's one
of the things you get when you live in a cave full of cubic Veronica..)
and in general, having a grand old time. Velvetta exclaimed "What the f--..."
but Melvin cut him off. "Vel!! I want you to meet a good friend of mine,
TartanTomato. She's been a big help to the beer commune. She keeps the
crystals in order." Vel stammered out "Nice to me-me-mmee-meet you." before
he collasped in a big heap. (Crystal caves are shocking. Especially when
you discover that the people who live in them are normal. Not trolls at
all.) Melvin sighed and levitated Vel onto a comfy rock bed. "Well. That's
that I guess. Do come up and visit sometime Tartan, eh? Sorry to have to
run, but you know how things are when you're a Beer God." Melvin said.
Tartan nodded, *even though she didn't have any idea what it was like to
be a beer god, since she was female and everything.) and showed them out.
"Thanks for dropping by. I'll send your unconsious friend on his way, as
soon as he wakes up. Toodles." "Thanks!!"
Melvin said, as he and Bob left the crystal cave via a different, less
tramuatizing route than that of what they came in.
As they reapproached the surface, Bob noticed
something very strange about Melvin....he wasn't Melvin at all. He had
changed somehow. He looked more like...like some sort of musician than
anything else. Bob sputtered "Mel-Melvin? Whaaaaaa?" Melvin laughed at
Bob's surprise and then explained that he had to look like a musician for
awhile, because this way took them just outside the beer commune walls.
And it wouldn't be good PR if it looked like the Beer God was sneaking
out of his own commune..........
As sands through the hour glass, so is the saga
of sharks....more to come. And here it is!! The highly anticipated (well, not really), much demanded (or not) Sharks!!! Part 7. |
