Starship Chinterprise

Note: Furbles was acting like such a little alien last night, I had to
write this. He "helped"--he dug his teeth into the note pad and tried to
pull it off the bed! *lol* I used the chin names I remembered. If you'd
like me to write a story with your chin(s) in it, let me know!

No chinchillas or ferrets were injured in any way during the making of this
motion picture. Ferretoid is not meant to describe ferrets in a negative
way; I love them too. FerretOIDS are nasty, mean ferrets who don't like
chinchillas at all.

Cast of characters:

Furbles - Captain Furbles // Baby - First Mate Baby // Murphy - Lt. Murphy

Conan - That "beam me up Scotty" guy (I dunno, I'm not a trekky!)

Cherry - Dr. Cherry // Pearl - Counsellor Pearl

Dusty and Ashley - Ambassadors Dusty and Ashley


OK, on to the story.

Outdoors: the final frontier. These are the voyagers of the Starship
Chinterprise. Their mission: to boldly chew what no chin has chewed
before!

Corny Theme Music

Lt. Murphy - Captain, a ferretoid vessel is approaching. They're hailing our ship.

Captain Furbles - On screen.

Nasty Ferretoid #1 - You chinchillas are despicable rodents! We detest rodents! We
are going to eat you all!

Nasty Ferretoid #2 - (Menacing chuckle)

First Mate Baby - Captain, the ferretoids have an advantage; their home cage is close
enough to send reinforcements, but ours is over 20 feet away!

Lt. Murphy - Sir, the ferretoids are preparing to bite us. I suggest we make a run for
the Apultree Gala.

So off they flew to the Apultree Gala, where they rested. Lt. Murphy and
Counsellor Pearl sampled some delicious Royal Gala apples, but Captain
Furbles and First Mate Baby opted instead to explore the Apultree. The ferrets
waited impatiently at the foot of the tree, occasionally scampering madly in
circles or folding themselves in half.

Counsellor Pearl - Captain, I don't feel very well.

Lt. Murphy - I don't feel so good either.

Captain Furbles - Captain to sickbay.

Dr. Cherry - Yes, captain?

Captain Furbles - Lt. Murphy and Counsellor Pearl aren't feeling very well. I'm sending
them up for you to check on.

Dr. Cherry - Roger that, Captain.

Captain Furbles - Beam them up, Conan.

Conan - All right, Captain.

Weird beaming-up sound

Captain Furbles - Well, Number Two, let's check out this fruit. He picks up an
apple and is about to chew

First Mate Baby - Captain, look out!

Captain Furbles - (Dropping the apple) What is it? Is there a grossly mutated,
chin-eating raisin standing behind me, ready to pounce?

First Mate Baby - No, you almost bit into a Granny Smith Apple. You hate them.

Captain Furbles - Right you are! Good work, Number Two. Wait a minute! This is
no granny smith apple! Why, this is no apple at alL! We have to get back to the
ship immediately.

First Mate Baby - Beam us up, Conan.

Weird Beaming-up sound again.

Captain Furbles - Doctor, I think I know what the trouble is.

Dr. Pearl - That Lt. Murphy and Counsellor Pearl ate a highly unhealthy concoction of
salt, cabbage, corn, and food coloring that gave them dangerously high levels of
2,4 dimethyl 5 cyclobutyl 6 chloro 8 bromo decanone and a very bad case of diarrhea?

Captain Furbles - Yes, how did you know?

Doctor Cherry - I used my latest piece of equipment - the
Newfancyschmancyscannerreadertechnicalwhatchamacallit - and actually did
very little real work. In fact, a holochin could probably do this job. *cute chin grumble*

Captain Furbles - No, we'd be lost without you, Dr. Cherry. Are they OK now?

First Mate Baby - They should be. From this chart, I read that she prescribed them a
good, healthy remedy of spitz pills and immodium.

Captain Furbles - Now all we have to worry about is how to get away from those
ferrets.

Conan - Captain, a ship is hailing from the port side.

Captain Furbles - On screen.

First Mate Baby - It looks like the Starship Chewordie!

Ambassador Dusty - Ambassadors Dusty and Ashley at your service. We're here
about some agressive ferretoids?

Captain Furbles - Yes!

Ambassador Ashley - We'll get them with our new chin-o-matic, then join you all for
raisins and sunflower seeds at the Cage.

Counsellor Pearl - Sounds great! I'm starved.

Lt. Murphy - Me too. Whatever Dr. Cherry is feeding us, it sure does make me
hungry!

Counsellor Pearl - You're always hungry, Lieutenant!

laughter all around. Later...

Captain Furbles - Captain's log - stardate 346957982103.5..........not much out of the
ordinary happened today. 2 crew members ill from eating unidentified objects,
attacked by ferretoids, rescued by Ambassadors Dusty and Ashley who have
stayed for tea afterwards. Nothing to write home about, but a day's play well done.

Another chew, another sense of joy...
