The official story thread for our story 3. (Yes, every clever title, indeed) trololol.
It was the perfect day to take a trip. The air was fresh, clear, and not a single cloud in the sky to dampen their moods. They appeared over the top of the hill, each struggling with their heavy luggage.
"Shrimpie, why does your luggage look like a ginormous sea lion? What on earth did you pack in there?", Soo exclaimed, as she picked up her light Loius Viuttion suitcase. She had on red stilletos and a mini skirt that was so distracting that even Meggie couldn't help but notice.
"I told you guise! I can't go on a trip without packing everything I own. Well almost everything. I had to leave a few things at home", she sighed.
Meggie tugged her baggage, trailing behind Sooie and Shrimpie's bickering. "EH! Look at that!" She said in her Aussie accent, pointing to the ship they were about to board! "Look how big it is! I didn't think it would be so huge!"
"That's what she said" Sooie slipped in, giggling. Shrimpie rolled her eyes and started running to the ship, the large bow on her head bobbing in the wind. Sooie and Meggie watched in amazement as they wondered how she could move so fast while carrying a bag three times her size.
"You know, I think this trip will be good for us" Sooie said. "We can definitely use the entire week to soak up some sun, have some fun and spend time together, just us three again".
Meggie nodded and the girls hurried to catch up with Shrimpie. The first hour on the ship was spent "exploring" the ship, courtesy of Shrimpie. "What exactly are we looking for? buried treasure?" Meggie asked tiredly. "I just want to go to our rooms and relax a bit, take a shower and then have dinner. Come on Shrimpie! Let's go".
"Fine", Shrimpie nodded as the three musketeers headed to their deluxe suite. "Ooohh, look how awesome this is! She started jumping on the water-bed and then ran out to the patio, where they all were surprised to find a privatre jacuzzi. "Omg! This is ours! Only ours!".
"Let's all take showers and get dressed up! Dinner is at 7." Sooie reminded them.
"And don't forget! We are staying for the show after dinner! A new singer named Diana Scarlett Star, or "Star" for short! I really want to see her sing guise! It's supposed to be an awesome debut!"
"Alright, everyone go get ready and we will meet here at 6:45p.m. K?" Sooie commanded.
....
All three girls arrived on time, all looking glamorous and fabulous. Sooie was in her signature red dress. The tight fitting bodice spread down to her mid thigh, and then a slit began all the way down, showing just the right amount of leg. Meggie was in a sky blue, sequined dress, with her hair curled into a bun. She had on her white crystals and matching gloves. Shrimpie had on a baby pink doll dress, with strappy heels that matched. All three looked fab as they walked out the hotel room.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Shrimpie gushed!
"Maybe we will find some single guys", Sooie raised her eyebrows flirtatiously.
"What about Al!" Shrimpie asked.
"Meh, what he doesn't know won't kill him".
"Sooie! Shrimpie! Look who it is!" a surprised Meggie gasped! All three watched as Swed and Scorp appeared through the arch, and entered the ballroom. Swed somehow had her human legs and was wearing a royal purple dress. Scorp was struggling to carry Swed in, still not used to her having legs.
"We should follow them and say hi!" Sooie said.
"Wait. Shrimp, are you ok with her being with Scorp now? I mean I know he was your first foreign boyfriend and you cared a lot about.." Meggie was cut off by Shrimpie's giggles.
"Oh Meggie dear, Scorp was a just a toy I played with. And he was fun too but it's over now. So let's go inside before our seats are taken!"
They rushed inside the ballroom on their first night on Eydie Cruise lines little knowing that they had just stepped into what would be the first of many nightmares to come.

As soon as they entered the ballroom, they were swept up into a fast-paced foxtrot. Meg and Shrimpie quickly grabbed hands and twirled their way gracefully around the room so proficiently that when they came to a dramatic conclusion near a small booth, there was a smattering of applause.
Soo tripped her way over to them, narrowing her eyes at them both and saying "thanks so much guys." "You know I love you Sooie, but these are new shoes!" Meg reasoned as Shrimpie giggled.
Smoothing her dress haughtily, Soo slid into the booth, raising her eyebrows almost imperceptibly at a distant waitress, who rushed to their table, holding three glasses of champagne aloft. Shrimpie grabbed one eagerly, knocking it back and clicking her fingers for another. Surprised, Meg and Soo shared a disapproving glance then shrugged their shoulders and followed Shrimpie’s lead.
“That’s more like it guise!” Shrimpie trilled, “Get into the holiday spirit.”
“Holiday spirits” Soo chuckled, already quite merry. “Oh dear. Remember Oktoberfest lassies. Let’s ease our way into it.” Meg said, nudging Shrimpie as Soo waved her empty glass pointedly at the waitress.
The music came to a resounding crescendo and the dancing stopped. A small slip of a girl wearing an emerald green pantsuit leapt on stage, her flame red hair coiled into a perfect chignon. Meg fell off her chair in shock, blushing fiercely as Soo and Shrimpie pulled her, stifling their laughter.
“Dinner is now served!” Lee announced, waving her arms at the candelabras above their heads, which rapidly fell to the ground to the horror of the guests. Instead of the expected crash, however, they melded together to form a large, tear drop shaped table. A team of waiters, all dressed in garish orange uniforms, descended upon the tables bearing elaborate plates of decadent foods.
“SIMON! Do you think he’s here?” Shrimpie squealed, craning her neck to examine each of the waiters as she shovelled steak into her mouth.
“Uhh, Shrimp...” Soo started, until Meg threw a gloved hand over her mouth. “Let’s see how long it takes her.” she whispered conspiratorially. Lee made her way around the table towards the trio, effusively greeting and chattering to guests as she went.
“I see you’re enjoying the braised kangaroo” she said sweetly to Shrimpie, who froze in horror, her face turning an unattractive shade of puce. Lee wound her arms around her and calmly performed the Heimlich manoeuvre. “I shall let my event planner know that it wasn’t to your liking. She normally does weddings, you see, so is still finding her feet” Lee apologised gravely, producing a quill and parchment and addressing a note to M.
Shrimpie thrust her chair backwards and whisked out of the ballroom onto the balcony as Meg and Soo, amused, ate their papaya tarts. However, when over an hour had passed and Shrimpie had not returned, they began to feel concerned. Excusing themselves, they snuck onto the balcony to see Shrimp balancing on a pole overhanging a lower balcony. Motioning for them to be silent, she pointed out two shadowy figures below them muttering to each other.
Suddenly, one of the figures jumped over the balcony, landing in a speed boat and sped off into the night, the motor startling Shrimpie so much that she fell sideways off of the pole, dangling only by the skirt of her dress.

Soo and Meg lept into action and each girl managed to grasp one of her hands.
"Sometimes I wonder why we even bother trying to have normal lives," Meg grumbled. Shrimpie didn't reply, choosing to glare at her instead.
"I think we should start pulling her up," Soo commented, worriedly. "She's sliding out of my hands."
Shrimpie'e eyes widened at that statement. "Don't you dare let me go," she growled at Soo.
"I'm trying not to. But I can't help it," Soo said, her voice rising an octave.
Meggie interupted the argument that was about to begin. "Pull her up at three okay?"
The other two nodded grimly. "One," Meg said.
"Two," Shrimpie said, still looking at Soo warningly.
"Three," Soo said as they all hoisted Shrimpie upwards.
Once Shrimpie was back on the ship, she snootily adjusted her dress.
"So what were you watching?" Soo asked her.
"I don't know, really," Shrimpie said thoughtfully. "It was some kind of struggle."
"I don't mean to ruin the two of you pretending to be Nancy Drew," Meg interuppted, "but if you want to go hear that singer Shrimpie's been raving about, we should leave for the bar right now."
The three girls hurriedly rushed towards the ship bar. On entering it, they were accosted with the familiar smell of alcohol and the sea. They made their way to a table near the end, as the tables closer to the stage were occupied.
They had made themselves comfortable, when Meg elbowed Soo, "Hey isn't that..."

WOAH.
WOAH THERE.
STELLA...
I've never had a real problem with you before, but if you dare insult our work, all hell will break loose on your dull brown hair.
Yes, I take my work personally.
And yes you have pissed me off.
Severely.
Take back your comment or else I shall make all your living days here on ggi hellishly miserable.
Take your pick.

Funny.
Those are my exact feelings when it comes to you.

Stella, honey there are two rules that I live my life by:
1. If you don't have a constructive contribution, you should keep it to yourself.
2. Stay out of stuff that obviously doesn't concern you directly.
You're kind of breaking them too. I know this is a public forum and everything, but I'd appreciate it if you keep your negativity and passive agression to yourself.

I was thinking about what to answer to such a juvenile behaviour, but then I realized that I don't care about your opinion. You can go now.
