RUS: Первая половина седьмого эпизода из моего фанфика по Маленькому зоомагазину 2012 и Маске. Сцена тусовки на пароходе основана на соответствующей сцене из фильма "Элвин и бурундуки 3" 2011 года.
Trip the male hamster, wearing striped shirt and cap, strolled down the seaport boulevard, singing "Puttin on the Ritz".
The ship's whistle blared loudly.
The hamster looked around: a steamship was moored at the pier, passengers were climbing the gangplank. And among them, who would have guessed?! Two pandas named Penny and Dandy.
The rodent snuck up behind two friends, grabbed them and hugged them.
"Hey!" Penny in dark-pink Indian dress cried indignantly. "Where are you taking us?"
The captain stood on deck, checking tickets. He took Trip's tickets and counted them - two. He looked at the three - it was clear who was leaving. He skipped the two pandas and sent the stowaway escort down the gangway!
The fluffy hooligan rose from the ground, dusted himself off and watched as Mark the white eagle and Aziza the emperor penguin walked toward the gangway, carrying backpacks with fishing rods sticking out of them.
"Here it is!" male hamster smiled, carefully tugging the line of one of the fishing rods.
And now Mark and Aziza were climbing the gangway, followed by little dog of unknown breed in naval uniform, running on all fours.
Trip boarded the ship, removed the hook of his fishing rod from the collar of his vest and headed toward the iron beams.
"I'll set up an ambush here!" hamster rubbed his front paws and hid in them.
Then the electromagnetic crane's disk descended from above, and all the beams jumped up at once and stuck to the magnet. Trip turned his head back, hearing the footsteps of female emperor penguin and white male eagle approaching him. He worried that they might tell the captain of his presence on the ship. He grabbed one of iron beams and floated through the air with them back to shore.
The ship's whistle blared again, and the gangway had already been lowered. Only a single mooring rope connected him to the shore.
Trip fetched long pole and walked up the rope, carefully moving his paws like tightrope walker in circus.
Dandy in striped shirt and light-brown pants came out on deck, sat down in chaise lounge and unfolded the newspaper. A breeze blew and snatched the newspaper from his paws.
"Wait!" male panda ran after the newspaper and almost fell over the railing.
The newspaper landed right on hamster's muzzle and clung to it. The rodent stepped into the void and fell off the rope into the water.
The winch rumbled, and the anchor chain began to rise. A three-pronged anchor emerged from the water, and Trip was hanging on to it.
"We're about to set sail!" The captain looked at the shore and heard the scraping of claws.
He looked down and saw male hamster in striped vest clinging to the side of the ship:
"A hare?"
"Ah... Zoe, Zoe," Trip corrected, not understanding the ship's commander's words.
Captain grabbed the stowaway by the chest and barked:
"WELL, ZOE! WELL, JUST A WAIT!"
And he threw the idiot off the ship straight into the depths of sea.
"Dandy, did you hear that?" Penny asked, alarmed. "Someone yelled our friend's name."
"Who wanted her?" male panda walked up to Penny.
"Why did you call our friend Zoe?" two friends turned to the captain.
"I didn't call her," the ship's captain admitted. "I just dumped some crazy guy in striped shirt. I thought he was trying to sneak in here, but he kept muttering 'Zoe, Zoe' to me... It must be some foreign language."
While they were talking, Trip climbed out of the water onto the dock and rubbed the back of his head.
"I hit myself pretty hard! I almost got concussion!" hamster muttered.
Coming to his senses, the rodent didn't notice that ship begin to drift away from the shore. Only then he remembered, but it was too late - the ship was already a considerable distance from the shore. He couldn't even jump to it now.
"I'll still catch up with you, pandas!" hamster gritted his teeth.
When the ship was already far from the port, pandas were having a blast. Penny was racing around the deck, spilling liquid soap and performing the most incredible pirouettes while jumping over obstacles. Dandy was running around the deck, spraying water with a water pistol.
A few later, Dandy was surfing down the pool slide, while Penny was singing on a small stage on the ship's deck. She was performing "Trouble" by PINK.
In the evening, the party continued - two friends and other animals were having a blast at the ship's club. Mark the white eagle and Aziza the emperor penguin had romantic dinner at the restaurant, Scorate the male meerkat and Diana the female ermine won a poker game at casino, while Dandy and Penny were dancing on the dance floor. Also Penny was singing "We're in the money".
Early the next morning, a boat was hurtling across the waves, with Trip at the helm. He'd been trying all night to catch up with the ship carrying two pandas. And now he'd almost caught up.
Having reached the side of the boat, Trip picked up a rope lying nearby, tied a hook to one end, uncoiled it and tossed it overboard. The hook caught on the railing, and the rodent climbed from the yacht onto the ship's deck.
After running a few meters, troublesome creature froze - the captain was walking along the deck. Trip emptied the nearest bucket, grabbed a mop and began vigorously scrubbing the deck.
"Well done!" captain praised the mad guy and continued on. "Keep up the good work!"
The hamster threw down his mop and rushed to the cabins to look for the pandas. He peered into one cabin - there Roman the Rottweiler and Lada the poodle were chatting over a game of Monopoly. He peered into another - and found the pandas. Penny and Dandy were sleeping on the bunk, cuddled up next to each other.
Trip extended his clawed paws forward and was about to grab Penny, but then Dandy moved toward her, and the bully accidentally grabbed male panda. Feeling the sharp claws, Dandy roared in pain and fell to the floor.
"Dandy, why are you screaming?" Penny turned her head in the direction of the scream and opened her eyes. "Run!"
In one leap, Penny in dark-pink Indian dress climbed onto the top bunk and extended her paw down:
"Jump here! I'll catch you!"
Dandy jumped, and female panda helped him up, grabbing his paw.
"I'll get you now!" the bully grinned maliciously and peered into the bedside dresser. He pulled out a fork.
Male hamster bent the fork, tied it to one end of the blanket on the bottom bunk and stepped back a little. He took aim and launched the fork toward the top bunk. The projectile caught on the suitcase lying above. The duo trembled with fear.
"Great!" Trip climbed up the blanket as if it were a rope.
Penny realized what she had to do. She swiped her paw at the suitcase, sending it flying down along with blanket. The hamster fell to the floor and took a hit on the head with suitcase.
"Get out of here!" Penny commanded, jumping off the top bunk and opening the door.
"My head..." rodent who had been hit on the head grunted and rose to his paws. "They got away!"
