Peter hated this field trip. It was the worst one he had ever been on. It had started with him forgetting his lunch at home, then Flash sprayed him with Fabreeze after saying Peter smelled gross, then his favorite exhibit had been closed, then he got stuck to a tiny shark, and now he was in a pile of squids. Officially making this the worst field trip ever, even worse than the one where a bear broke out of its cage and stole his peanuts.

How did this happen you may ask? Why is our precious Peter laying on the cement in a pile of living squid? Well it's a long story.

Actually kinda short.

Like really short.

Seriously short.

Let's rewind to about an hour ago. The bus had just pulled up to the aquarium they were visiting. The whole class was excited, except for Peter be issue he was still trying to rub that smell of Fabreeze off of him. You know he has an irrational fear of Fabreeze after all.

Anyways, they were led off the bus and paired into groups of three. Unfortunately this meant that Peter was separated from Ned and Michelle, and was instead placed with Flash and... *shivers* Brad.

Each group was then given a sea animal to find and research. They had to write a page of interesting notes as their assignment. Of course Brad and Flash gave the job of writing, researching, observing, and taking notes, and Brad and Fkash shared the hard job of putting their names on the paper For credit.  

The animal that they had been given was the Stung Ray. Which happened to be the same animal Peter got every year.

They were taken inside and given a short brief tour of the place before they had to go find their animals.

So now 15 minutes later Peter is hunched over a tank of Sting Rays. The same thing, every year. He stuck his fingers in the water, gripping a small shrimp like price of grub to attract one of the Rays. Which he succeeded in.

It took the food from his hands and was nice enough to stay their to let Peter pet it. He ran his fingers across its soft smooth slimy skin, while it hovered in place. A larger Ray pushed the Ray aside so it could get a turn, so Peter began to pet it as well. Then three more joined the pile so Peter tossed in some more guppies for them to eat.

And then the shark came waltzing over as if it had been invited. No one wants you mr shark.

It was a small grey shark with brown spots down its back. These were friendly sharks, it said so on the sign of the tank. So Peter began to pet it as well. The Rays left him with the tiny shark. But eventually the sharkling left as a massive one came. And I mean massive. It rubbed its head against peters hands, asking for attention. But it's size had scared Peter, and ha powers made him stick to the shark. It must have shocked the shark or something because it started to go bonkers.

Peter screamed like the brave man he was. And he kept pulling and tugging but this shark was stuck to his fingers. He knew in order to unstick he had to relax himself, but that's kinda hard when your fingers are less than inches away from a crazy shark mouth filled with large teeth.

MJ and her group looked up. "Peter you stole our project." MJ said.

"Fricken help me!" Peter shrieked. Three employees came running in. Apparently some douche had put this shark in the wrong tank, just because it was a friendly shark. But it didn't seem to friendly at the moment.

After the employees realized that peters fingers were stuck, they ended up having to pull the shark from its tank and onto the floor. It flipped around like crazy, slashing its muscular tail dangerously at any one near it.

"PleaseMr.Sharkididntmeanitithinkyourgreatanddefinatlydeserveattentionjustpleasepleasepleasedonteatme!" Peter prayed to the shark gods.

The employees had to drug the shark to get it to calm down. Obviously this whole seen had caused a commotion around him. People formed a crowd as the employees tried prying peters fingers from the drunk sharks skin.

20 minutes later they were given free time so Peter got as far away from the shark and Ray tank as possible. He found interest in this large circular tank in the center of the Aquarium. He saw nothing but darkness inside it, so he got a closer look.

He squinted when suddenly a tenth all appeared from the darkness. And another, and another, and another, and a thousand others until it seemed their was no room for water. Thousands upon thousands of squids were packed ever so tightly in this tank like fat sausages.

"Um..." Peters eyes went wide with surprise.

"They had babies this spring." MJ said like shadow from behind him. Peter jumped.

"Oh uh.."

"And then the babies had babies."

"..."

"And then they got a new shipment of squid."

"How?"

"I dunno."

"Hey Penis Parker!" Flash roared from behind him with a broad evil smirk upon his face. "Looking at your penis friends?"

"Shut up flash." Peter grumbled.

"Oh yeah than-"

Suddenly Peter slipped and grabbed the glass to the tank to catch himself with his stuck. But instead the glass broke and water, shards of glass, and squid, poured out. And now Peter was buried in squid.

And that's were we are now, a helpless, fabreezed, sad, squid covered little boy.

And that is the story of today thank you.
