Author's note:  Yes, I know there are misspelled words in this story along with the title, and they're there intentionaly!  Enjoy!
  -Angel-

It’s Friday Night.  You’ve been out all day.  All you want to do is stop swimming around, and lay down for a while.  Just as you start to lie back, you see two of your good buddies swim up next to you.  One of them waves their tentacles, and the other says “Hey Slick!  Wanta go to a big ol’ Party?”  All you can do is stare at them, and think about what happened last time these two dragged you to a party.  It was a sure wild party.  There were a small group of Squid that had a little too much to drink, and they just couldn’t hold their Ink in there system any long, and sprayed it all over the party-go’ers.  It was a mess, and you smelt like a broken pen for days.  Not this time you say to yourself.  There’s no way they’re going to get me to go to this party…
Three hours later, you arrive at the party.  There are about twenty other squids other than yourself.  You swim around to see if there’s anyone you know at the party.  Just as you’ve almost circled the crowd, that’s when you saw her.  She has a smooth, sleek, shiny body.  It looked so beautiful in the wavy water.  Her Eyes were perfect, one on each side of her head.  But it wasn’t only the spacing that was perfect.  It was the color of them.  They were as black as a clouded night sky. Her testacies.. err…  tentacles were long and smooth, just like the rest of her.  The suction cups on the other side were also perfectly circular.  In many ways, she was the perfect squid.  But in even more ways, she was perfect for you.  You knew it, deep down inside.  From the very second you saw her, you knew that’d she be your first.
You’re a little nervous to approach her.  You feel too inferior.  You look your self over, and make sure you don’t have any more bits of fish hanging from your mouth, and you finally approach her.  As soon as you reach her, you realize that she’s not perfect, she far more than perfect.  Just as that thought glances into your head, she sees you.  As you to stare into one another’s eyes, you know instantly that she feels the same way.  Next, as if to break the trance, she starts to move her tentacles up and down, as if she was beckoning you to come closer and dance.  You follow, just as she wanted.  You put your testacies… err… tentacles up close to hers, and they touched softly.  “I touched an angel-squid!” You thought to yourself.  Then, as if some mysterious force pushed you, you were skin to skin, dancing near the ocean floor.  After about five more minutes, she lightly put her suction cups on your head and tugged at you to follow.  At this time you knew, that in about one hour, you were about to perform the Matting Dance of the Squid.

Thank you all for your kind words!

Krista-  I don't know if you really do want to be the Angel-Squid... but... ok... Luv ya.

Abe- Thanks man, I do plan to keep writting (as you hopefully already know)

Christopher-  Thanks for the welcome, and isn't it amazing that a squid can take on the name Krista, and write such good stuff?  

Cassers- Yes, I am a very, very strange and wacky person!  I'd love to post more, just for you!

Thanks again!

Love breaths when you're out of breath,
Love sits by the bedside when you're near to death,
and Love still feels it when the feelings gone,
Love lives on and on.
Love is the right place. -Bryan White
