Chatterbox: Inkwell

Fish Love Story

Once upon a time there was a fish who fell in love. But, the love wasn't approved by the fishy government, so the fish was taken to jail. The chicken, on chicken island, was placed in charge of the fish. But the fish escaped! He swam back to Penny, but Penny didn’t want the fish, so the fish’s heart broke and he swam to Atlantis and met another fish who fell in love with him. But he was still stuck on Penny, as Penny was his one true love. The other fishes thought that he was crazy, but he only wanted to be with Penny one or two years in the future. But the fish could feel that his love could break bonds. Lavender (The Atlantis fish) could tell that Penny wasn’t about to return to where she came from any time soon. So she [Lavender] tried to steal Bob’s heart because she was extremely jealous of Penny who obviously was always next to Bob. Even though she tried to separate the bond between Penny and Bob, she just grew more jealous and more curious. Finally she decided to go all the way to France, where Penny was and tell Penny to get away from Bob’s fishy scales. Penny was dumbfounded and afraid of the sharks Lavender had sent after her. So, Penny asked Bob who Lavender was, and he said “Some crazy fish who is in a cult. And the cult was to kill fish. She also happens to be crazy in love with me. But I love you, Penny.” Penny didn’t know what to say. She sighed deeply and said, “What? We went over this thrice already,” She continued. “I know you love me, but Lavender loves you too, and if you want to be with her, then go ahead. I don't care for you anymore.” Bob was anguished that Penny didn't love him anymore, or care about Lavender’s obvious insanity. Of course, Penny secretly loved another fish named Lucille, who knew Lavender because they were sisters. Penny wanted to elope with Lucille, but Bob wanted to elope with Lavender, and the fishy government made eloping illegal. So, one day, Penny and Bob decided that they were going to destroy the government so that they could elope (Even though Penny loved Lucille). The revolution quickly gained strength and the fish had parades in order to gather followers among the city of Fishyville. The fish seemed pretty willing to join the revolution. Penny and Lucille were quite content with their secret love, until the government decided Penny must marry Lavender, and Bob must marry Lucille. So they ended up deciding to disobey the government and pursue who they loved, even though the government was against it. “Lucille,” Penny said with a tone so full of emotions that were about to explode that Lucille couldn’t help but listen. “I love you more than seaweed.” she announced, tears forming in her eyes. She wiped them with a scaled fin as the fishy government as on their way to arrest the two couples. Lucille saw their armies marching and burst into messy tears. What they saw was quite disheartening, because the fishy government was chasing them for a good reason: Lavender was trying to destroy the world. She was suddenly killed by a massive explosion that the bad fishy government set off to try and stop Lavender’s plan for world domination. Bob was heartbroken, since he actually kinda liked Lavender even though his true love was Penny. Meanwhile, Lucille was hiding from the fish armies, because they were about to attack them. She was as scared as she had ever been, but Penny was brave and struggled on, fighting and not hiding from the tyrannical government. Penny was so awesome that Lucille fell even more in love with Penny. Meanwhile, Bob was having a good time writing an album about Lavender’s death because he wanted to commemorate her service to the Association of Revolutionary Fishes to take control of the fishy government because it was more like a cult for destroying the entire world of fishy governments and their rules. Bob scheduled concerts and riots, trying to get people, or rather, fish, to start revolutionizing the fishy government into a FISHOCRACY (by the fish, for the fish), because they were disgusted by the government which was politically and romantically incorrect because it forced death onto fish who wanted revolution. Then, Bob also decided that fish from Atlantis, his hometown, could help them win! So Bob, Penny, and Lucille bound themselves to a fish-transport train that was going to Britain for tea, because they wanted to copy American’s accents so that they could pass as American fish. American fish are all Salmon. Yep, that’s the truth. Anyways, the trio, now disguised as American salmon, stormed into the palace, alongside their loyal maid, who was an electric eel. Unfortunately, because of maid shortages, they also had to figure out how to actually hire her. Bob put up an advertisement for a dangerous assassin to assist them in their coup. Twenty applied and twenty were hired. They trained every day, determined to become more stealthy every day. On the last day of training, Bob gave out lollipops to the fish to make them feel happy about the coup. Soon, the assassins and Penny were ready. They began their phase two for revolution on the fishy government. They worked on combat and planned and trained and ate healthy breakfasts. So, they became stronger. Soon they were the best assassins under the sea. The government stood high, not afraid of mere assassins because they knew nothing about the assassins’ secret weapon which was powered by a giant thing of fish eggs. Lucille, Penny, and Bob were quite excited, but also nervous because there was a price for sacrificing baby fishes. And Bob was even more nervous, after what happened to poor Lavender, he didn’t want anyone to have the same fate, even though death is everyone’s fate. Bob was very quiet the whole way to the fishy government’s headquarters, where they set up their secret weapon. Bob made sure that death wouldn't touch the baby fishes. With plans ready, everyone was ready to begin the rebellion. They stormed through the walls armed with trombones. The assassins led some sea bass and some worms in an orchestral attack on the worms and the fishy government! It was going well enough that it seemed as though the rebellious fish might have a chance of winning… Until the fishy government revealed their biggest secret to the rebellion army, making it almost seem like the fishy government was giving up. “We have gas from eating all those pieces of seaweed,” they explained to the invaders. “Fish don’t get gas!” Penny shouted. “They can only get gas if they eat many beans and you didn’t!”
Now fish eat only watermelons and minnows. They love to eat peas with dinner. The fishy government was very mad at the rebel fishes for rebelling, so they decided to reveal themselves. “We’re actually pigs.” some of the government leaders said. The rebel leaders gasped. “You’re pigs?! Like in Animal Farm? Why would you trick us? What will we do with you? And why are you ruling over us?” “Because we want the fish to join  us in world domination. But, unfortunately, you seem reluctant to help us, so I am afraid that you will have to be terminated. DIE!” Then they (the government leaders) pointed their bubble guns right at Lucille. “We will kill her if you move!” Penny started to cry, distraught. She couldn't have been more upset. Bob decided he would overthrow the government on his own, so no one would get hurt, especially Penny or Lucille. He cared too much about them, even if they weren't Lavender. “FOR LAVENDER!” he shouted, charging at the leader of the pigs. The pig shrieked with anguish as Bob’s fishy teeth clamped onto their backside. They collapsed on the ground, squealing in pain. But one of the pig’s friends has come to help him with defeating the rebellious fish and attacked Bob, but Penny knocked out the guard, freed Lucille, and the three fish swam away, to go live in Atlantis. The end!
