She then rubbed around the shell...feeling for any soft spots...or something of that sort...she squinched her eyes at the board....okay...now to brush it...ish. She picked up the brush...and began to rub it circularly...the crab was VERY squirmy...was she doing it wrong?! She didn't want her hand burned or anything! "Hold still, Crab!" she said angrily...ooooh...she should name it! "Professor, do they have names? Or can I name him?" Because Elliot was starting to like this thing. And not just because of the jewels...though that was an added bonus! Haha!
Brush brush bruuuush! she hummed...inside her head....and she tried to get all those icky build ups clear...poor crab was probably so fiery and angry because he wasn't clean! Well, no fear, Crab, Elliot AWESOMETASTICAL Morganzo is heereeee! To save the day and give you a BATH! "There, you look good as new. And I think I'll name you..." Hmmm....she didn't know...she was never good at naming things. "Artemis!" YES IT WAS SO PERFECCCTTT!
Looking back at the board...she tried to read the next instructions...stupid suuuuun was getting in her eyes...uggghhh!
"Yes their jewels are pretty." and that was about the only thing that was pretty about them. Yeah they were pretty cool looking, but Hannah wasn't that impressed.
Ok now she had to brush the fire crab. Hannah grabbed her brush...honestly she was a little nervous about brushing the thing that could shoot fire out of his butt. Sure the professor had said that the water would contain the fire shooting creature, but Hannah had her doubts. She was sure that if she irritated it enough that it would find a way to burn. Hannah would...if she was a fire crab and all.
Hannah put her long blonde hair into a pony tail...just in case things got real. She took the brush and started to scrub the crab lightly in a circular motion.
"It's ok crabby." Merlin, now she was soothing the blasted creature. Oh well...whatever it took to not get burned.
She paid special attention to the jewels. Oh yeah she scrubbed, and scrubbed until she had them sisters shining. They were looking good. Maybe this was a pretty cool crab after all.
Wait. Was Elliot naming her crab? She shot her a friend a look. Well, technically Hannah didn't have much room to talk because she had just called hers crabby.
Scrub, scrub, scrub. She steered clear of the scaled...no need to mess up a good thing she had going with the crab.
