Soon To Become The Nachoo

Denis finds the can of Red Bull.

He opens it with the ring pull and hands it to Terence.

Terence drinks it.

Buuurp! Now what? asks Terence.

Force your hatchling inside, says Ageless.

It won't fit through the hole, says Captain Baudin. But there's a can opener back at the light house.

Let's go and get it, says Terence.

D'accord, says Captain Baudin.  

I suppose you want us to look after your hatchling, says Gaius.

Terence looks into the egg box, where his purple baby cuttlefish is revolving while staring out through the transparent door.

Stop that! says Terence.

What's it doing? asks Gaius.

It's turning round and round in the egg box and staring, says Terence.

Then there's no time to lose, says Gaius. Off you go to find that can opener.

Captain Baudin and Terence climb up the rocks to the trail, and head for the lighthouse.

We should have brought the Titanic, says Terence.

To what are you referring? asks Captain Baudin.

The can, says Terence. It's going to be a Titanic.

That name presages bad luck, says Captain Baudin. May I suggest a better one?

What? asks Terence. 

La Fortuna for example, says Captain Baudin.

That's no good, says Terence.

Why so? asks Captain Baudin. 

It's not for a tuna, says Terence.

Ha ha, laughs Captain Baudin. 

What's another name? asks Terence.

I had two ships, says Captain Baudin. One was the Géographe and one was the Naturaliste. Do you like either of those?

I like the Nachoo, says Terence.

Then Nachoo it is, says Captain Baudin.

They have now reached the lighthouse. They go in.

Captain Baudin finds a can opener.

It's an old P-38, with a sharp cutting tooth. 

My trusty P-38, says Captain Baudin.

Can I carry it? asks Terence.

Certainement, says Captain Baudin. But take care not to pierce yourself.

I can't pierce myself, says Terence.

I suppose not, says Captain Baudin.

They start back down the trail to where the others are waiting, with the purple baby in the egg box. 

And the Red Bull can, soon to become the Nachoo.
