He picked up the cage and brought it over to were Vivi was. He put the bucket down and pointed his wand at it. He just about to ask her which spell was first because he always confused incendio and aquamenti. But that was answered when he watched Vivi used Aquamenti to fill up her bucket.
"Do you know if we should name our fire crabs. Because they might become angry if they are nameless?" It was a good question unless Vivi wanted violent fire crabs. While waiting for an answer he put his fire crab in the bucket."Aquamenti" He waited till the bucket was half way filled before ending the spell. Now all he had to do was touch his nameless crab. "Name them?" Vivi set her fire crab into the water, splashing a bit over the top of the shell before she realized that she hadn't put quite enough in. She topped off the bucket before turning herself back to the very important question of names.
"Yes, you're right. Names are important. Did you have something in mind for yours? Or maybe for both of them... make them a matched set?" She put her hands in the bucket to feel around for her fire crab (who really did need a name), and then Vivi rubbed the top of the shell lightly.
Poor thing. How did they get so dirty anyway?
SPOILER!!: Instructions
Step One:
Fill the bucket up with enough water to make sure the rear of the Fire Crab is completely covered. While letting soak for several minutes, lightly rub the shell with your fingertips to feel for any soft spots or cracks. (Soaking will allow any buildup, caused by its flames, to loosen)
Step Two:
With a soft bristled brush, gently scrub the entire shell using a light, circular motion. Pay special attention to any areas with buildup, mostly around their colored jewels and under the rim of the shell. Be careful not to brush areas covered in scales. They tend to be sensitive.
Step Three:
Gently massage the Fire Crab shell, under body, legs and tail with a soft, wet washcloth. This will loosen most soil. Don't worry if small flakes are released from the shell! This is just normal shedding. Rinse the Fire Crab to remove flakes.
Step Four:
Rinse the Fire Crab thoroughly. Closely inspect the shell for any irregularities, such as softening, excessive flaking, cracks, unusual discharge, or discolorations. Discoloration would occur on the jewels.
Step Five:
While still wet, place the Fire Crab back in the cage and cover with the cage with a dark colored cloth (the ones that covered it earlier). Rinse out supplies.
