Phoenix-"Worms"

The Phoenix crew
The Phoenix-inside Dean
The atmosphere in the Phoenix was tense.
The dodgy chocolate bar that Dean had eaten had pushed them further 
and further down his intestines, and the gooey brown liquids the 
small ship was flying through made it very hard going. Jay was 
almost a gibbering wreck in the pilots seat thinking about how long 
this would make his ship stink for. And how he should force Dean to 
wash it off, after all, it was covered in the digested things that 
Dean had eaten.
Seymour had calmed after his slight panic attack, they still hadn't 
found any tea but his miniature billiards game was occupying him for 
the moment.
Suddenly the tension was broken by Alotta looking at the scanner 
screen. "We have incoming!"
"Another sausage roll?" Phil asked, bracing for impact.
"No, this is
. Changing direction
 and its coming straight for us."
"Another white blood cell?"
"No this is huge!"
Seymour started twitching and fiddled with his bow-tie. Then leaned 
forward to see out of the windscreen.
"What on Earth would change direction in Deans intestine?"
He peered forward to look through the poo.
"Oh there, I can see something, its jolly big
." 
Suddenly a huge face, like a dragon snapped at the modified Blue 
Midget.
"OH DEAR GOD!" Said Seymour falling backwards in shock. 
The creature had a long worm-like body, it slicked its tail and swam 
over them into the murky brown.
"What the hell was that?!"
"Ah
" Said Dr Keto.
"Ah?" chorused almost everyone.
"I'm not at liberty to say, doctor/patient confidentiality!" Keto 
said.
The worm swam past again and snapped at them. Jay swerved the ship 
just in time to avoid some powerful looking jaws.
"That thing's got teeth! I'm no doctor
 but I'm sure that's not 
normal!" Cried Jay. "Now's not the time to hold out on us Keto!"
"Well Dean came to me a few weeks ago complaining of stomach pains, 
I thought we'd cleared it up though."
"Cleared it up?"
"Yes, Dean has space-worms."
"Ahh yeass, by the latin name `intercapedo excrucio vermes'" Seymour 
said proudly but not helping one bit. "Very common with the lower 
ranks, people who do not take as much care of themselves as such 
royal ambassadors such as ones self
"
"Real nasty buggers too!" Keto said, "If they cant find anything to 
feed on within your intestines, they start to eat your intestine 
wall."
"Eeew!" Chorused just about everyone.
The worm came for another pas and snapped at the ship, ripping a 
panel of outer side plating off, then giving it a good whack with 
its tail as it darted past. 
Everyone lurched one way as the Phoenix took the hit.
The bulkhead buckled and the pressure difference cracked a plating 
in the cockpit, splattering Canazza with Deans partly digested 
liquids.
"Eeeeh heeeeh hehheeeeW!" Canazza spluttered and quickly put his 
hand over the crack, which made it spurt even more. Covering Tara 
and Alotta now.
"OH DEAR LORD!" Said Seymour quickly moving his suede jacket out of 
the blast area and pressing himself up against the opposite side 
wall.
"WELL HELP ME THEN!!!" Canazza screamed as he covered the crack on 
his own,, getting covered and almost gagging.
Keats reluctantly stepped over and covered the crack with a piece of 
emergency metal plating, then held it as the drenched and disgusted 
looking Canazza welded it into place.
"Pwwwwoooooooooor!" Said Jay taking a hand off the control stick to 
cover his nose. "That stinks!"
"What a disgusting aroma!" Seymour said, but then smiled and fumbled 
in his pocket. "But luckily I have a Glade plug-in for such an 
emergency!" 
"Who plans for this kind of emergency?!! Said Tara."
He plugged it in and wafted the peach blossom air around.
"Oh great, we need about a million!" Jay said, trying to outrun the 
worm.
A brown and soaked Canazza at the back collapsed and started shaking 
from the trauma of being covered in Deans poo.
"Help guys
" Said Jay. "I really don't know where I'm going. I'm 
just trying to outrun this thing but its gaining on us!"
"Take a left here
" Keto said, looking at the scanner and pointing 
through the windscreen to a narrow passageway through the upper 
intestine.
The Worm squeezed through the hole, snapping and biting at Dean's 
innards to get to the Phoenix.
"Its gaining again!"
Seymour dived under the table.
"No.. its not following
 its going back! Where are we?"
"Deans liver," Said Keto. "The amount Dean drinks, there must be too 
much alcohol for it to survive!"
<OOC- Dean has worms! Hehe, sorry about that but thought it would 
make a nice plot twist!>
