Daddy Steve: Mikko and Tyler have told Rhoda and Ezra all about their scheme to re-launch the Nautilus.
Ezra: That would be awfully cool!
Rhoda: You should use our wardrobe box; it's much bigger.
Tyler: Um, do you think we should ask Holly Belle first?
Rhoda: Why would she care?
Although Mikko and Tyler don't always exercise the best judgement, they're not total fools...
Mikko: We should probably ask Holly Belle.
Tyler: Yeah.
Surprisingly, Holly Belle was in an agreeable mood.
Holly Belle: Just plain water, right?
Tyler: Yes, ma'am.
Holly Belle: Well, that seems okay. We hardly have anything in it anyway. Just be sure you dry it out when you're done.
Mikko: Thanks!
Finally the big moment arrived. New boy Nicholas, hearing all the commotion, joined the group.
Nicholas: I say, this is more exciting than the Royal Yacht Squadron Regatta!
Tyler felt the spring tighten as he turned the winding key.
Tyler: All engines standing by.
Mikko replaced the cork.
Mikko: We're watertight!
Tyler carefully lowered the sub into the water...
Tyler: Ready!
Mikko: Wow! Look at it go!
Ezra: How many knots do you think it's traveling?
Nicholas: It really looks like it's diving and surfacing!
Rhoda: Way cool!
Tyler: Too bad we don't have a giant squid to attack it.
Rhoda: I've got just the thing...
Rhoda: I've been saving this for a special occasion.
Tyler: Perfect!
Mikko: You know, Rhoda, you're okay!
Rhoda: Yeah, I know.
Mikko: "Helmsman, why have we stopped?"
Tyler: "Sir, a giant Kraken has fouled our propeller!"
Mikko: "Then we must surface and do battle with the beastie!"
All: YEEEEEAAAAHHHH!

Bravo ! What a wonderful tale and we even get to see it for ourselves too! The Nautilus was still in full working order !
How nice that Rhoda had a Kraken readily available to attack the sub ! I can see Holly Belle not getting that wardrobe box back for a good while, with all the adventures and Kraken battling that will be taking place.
It's all happening at Gregoropolis
Rhoda certainly won some points with the boys for having a fierce and deadly Kraken to attack the sub! Very cool “antique “ toy!!
Yes, this is a “way cool” post and I really like your video showing the Nautilus in action! Plus sound effects! The giant squid is a perfect completion to the Nautilus’ maiden voyage. Better get “Kraken” on the next Part III post! 😊. xxx
Wow! Such wonderful and exciting creativity action happening over there.
There must never be a dull moment in your household.
