Twilight always wondered about Rina, she was enigmatic, that was for certain. But other things to describe her was: crazy, psychotic, hilarious, aggressive and full of the most insane ideas...to name a few.
That last description of her was in play now. “Rina, I don’t think that is really a good idea” Ashley put her thoughts in on what was currently discussed.
Rina snorted at that remark and waved her hand in dismissal “ Guys, I’ve got this covered. Just be ready when I give the signal” she ordered.
“Okay then Ri, but if you end up in this shark’s stomach. It’s your problem” Matt stated Ashley punched him at the mention of her possibly being eaten.
“Please, if that thing eats me I’ll get out. One way or another.” she grinned, it frightened everyone. “Okay gang, I’ll give the signal and you do your part ok.”
“What will it sound like?” Twilight asked.
Rina replied in her own way “Imagine the sound a sloth makes”
Terrance pipes up “Rina. I don’t think Sloth’s make a lot of noise”
Rina ignored Terrance’s comment and went about to start her plan. Twilight could only facepalm at this crazy plan.
You see, after school Rina came up with a “Brilliant” way to get a shark’s tooth (who knows why she wanted one). She brought them to a blocked off part of shoreline that had a large containment pool that would be used to hold anything from sharks, dolphins or any other large marine wildlife. Rina was going to use it for option A. She tied a length of rope to a fishing pole, loosely but still firmly fixed a bait fish onto a makeshift hook and cut the fish’s side so that its blood would float through to the nearest shark. Once she lured it to the pool, Matt and Harry would work together to shut the gate as quickly as possible, Twilight would try to keep its mouth from closing, Ashley somehow would try to slow it down with a lasso and finally Terrance would send it back out into the ocean. Once Rina had claimed the tooth.
A crazy plan for a crazy girl, seemed fitting. “Come on sharky, sharky sharky. I just want one of your many teeth” Rina called as she waved the fish in the water around to attract any sharks to come by. This area of beach was infamous for many shark sightings near the shore, so it was the best place to find one.
Twilight tried to see reason into Rina “I don’t think this is going to work Rin….” but was halted by the said crazy Rina’s scream of joy.
“HAHAHAH! There she blows..or there he blows...whatever it is” she screamed, somehow a large bull shark glided through the water straight for Rina’s bait. With a dramatic pull, that resembled a matador pulling their red cloth away from an angry bull (kinda funny considering it’s a “Bull”shark). She launched the fish out of the water, the shark fell for it and swam into the pool.
“Kwweeeaah!” Rina called out.
“Is that meant to be the signal?” Matt asked, Harry sighed.
“Just turn the wheel!” Harry shouted already starting up the wheel, Matt quickly after helped out and together they closed the gate. The shark was trapped now.
“Twilight, Ashley. It’s your turn go for it!” Rina called out to the anthro girls.
“Don’t worry Twi, I know how to lasso things...even sharks...don’t ask how” Ashley said already swinging the lasso around looking for a place to strike.
Twilight replied “I’ll...take your word for it..hehe” she grinned sheepishly.
While Ashley attempted to catch the shark, Rina shouted insults to the shark as she did, Twilight scoured the ground for something to keep the beast’s mouth open. After much frustration, she managed to find a decent sized piece of metal that could be wedged in. Now how to put it in she thought “I could use my magic to put it in, but I don’t think I can clear my head fast enough to make it work..grr...I’ll just shove it in myself!”
Ashley finally managed to lasso the creature and was doing her best to slow it’s thrashing “Ahaha! I got it on the ropes...literally. You got that ther thing to wedge its jaw open with Twi?” Ashley cheered as she tried to steady the beast.
Twilight said nothing. Instead she nealt down to the rim of the pool and waited for the shark to open its mouth. With a blunt and surprisingly quick move, Twilight thrusted the metal bar into the shark’s jaw and luckily it kept it open.
“Whoa...that was sick Twilight” Rina said with very real praise.
“Your turn Rina” Twilight replied.
“Oh yes, I am ready for this!” she yelped plunging into the pool and shoving her hand into the shark’s mouth.
Anyone else this would be suicide, but for Rina… a Monday afternoon. Fishing (hehe) a knife from her pocket, she loosened a tooth from the shark’s jaw by jabbing it to make the flesh soft and then ripped it out in a triumphant manner. “I got it!” she cheered as she quickly jumped out of the water. The shark finally manages to remove the metal bar from its jaw and begins to snap its teeth in anger at the loss of its tooth.
Ashley removed the rope, then Matt and Harry opened the gate once more. Terrance threw more bait fish into the water outside the pool and watched as the shark fled the area.
“I can’t believe that happened” Ashley said to Rina.
“I can’t believe that worked” Twilight responded.
The others all came back together in a semi shaken semi happy mood. They had somehow got a shark’s tooth and survived with no injuries.
Rina admired the tooth in her hand, but then suddenly a glint in her eye caused everyone to panic “So….who wants to help me fight a crocodile?” she happily questioned her friends.
A collected shout was what she got as a reply “NO!”
Rina smiled “Just asking”
