Sharky (commentating): Now, you’re on the field, watching the scallop zip around. Oh, gosh, the two midfielders have clashed! They’re getting into a brawl! A left-hook! A right-hook! Go on, Turtle, throw an uppercut to that insanely arrogant marine!
Turtle (grunts): Uh, the commando seems to think otherwise. What’s with the superiors these days…hiring girls…aaaaahhhh!!!
Elina: *lifts turtle off the ground by his shell* Alright, Turtle. You can’t loiter around here. The captain’s not authorizing any illegal congregation any sooner!! That means you too, sharky! *points and scowls*
Sharky (pleadingly): Can’t we talk thru this nicely? The peace talks at the Langkawi seaside went well. The tourists love me!!
Elina:*folds her arms* Huh. I’ll be damned. What love? You ate one of them.
Sharky: *puts up hands in a shrug helplessly* I’m a tiger shark, whaddya expect? Sit there nicely and pose for the photos?
Elina: Yeah, nice one Sharky. I had my hides chewed up by the captain o’er that one. You got me into one mess. I’m not gonna let you mess up my plans any sooner.
Sharky (snorts): That’s what you say. If you know me, you’ll also know that I will get my own way!
Turtle: Shut up, you big fat shark! We’re in enough trouble as it is, so quit your charade and go home!
Sharky (snorts again):*eyes turtle scrumptiously* Humph. For now, you’re not the snivelling coward I remember.
Elina: I order you to go home in 3 minutes time!
Sharky: *draws himself to full height* On what authorization?
Elina (maliciously): If you don’t concede defeat, I’ll make Oopsie knock on your door every minute at midnight and I’ll hire Nerdy to sabo your innate computers. I’ll also make Kitty spit in your face every time you come up to the surface. And, plus the fact that I am a strike-team commando. I’m late for the assault, and it’s your fault I’m out of the action!!
Sharky (coldly): I don’t care.
Elina:*hits sharky with an uppercut to the jaw and threw a left-hook at sharky’s eye* Do you, now? *continues with a barrage of punches at sharky* wanna go home now? *scratches sharky’s face with fingernails*
Sharky (sobbing): Mama! *dives back down under the sea*
Turtle: *puts up both hands in front of him* Don’t attack me!
Elina (viciously): Then go home! I’m late, and I hereby blame you for it!!
Turtle: … …
Elina: Go on, what are you waiting for? One more mess-up and the captain will be all over me in a second!!
Turtle (muttering under his breath): That’s what I was looking forward to.
Elina (hint of warning seeping into her tone): What didja say?
Turtle (bewildered): Nothing! I go now!!
Elina: Tch! Animals…
