It was a hot Summer day for the Aqua Teens.

"Frylock!" A nasaly voice cup shouted from the living room.

"What is it?!" Frylock shouted from his lab as he looked into a microscope.

"It's frickin' hot! I'm going to the pool! I command you to bring my a towel!" Shake shouted back.

Frylock rolled his eyes.

"Just take one with you!" Frylock said with an annoyed tone.

"I'm the master here! This I command!"

Frylock groaned.

That's when he wiped his forehead with one of his fry arms.

"It's damn hot. Maybe Shake's got a point here." He rose his volume. "Fine! I'm coming too!"


The Aqua Teens leave their house and head around the corner to Carl's pool.

Shake had his goggles and floaty ready as Frylock carried the towels.

"Aw yeah, boy!" Meatwad went as he rolled in the grass. "We's coolin' down!"

"You should cool off!" Shake, being his usual douchebag self, kicked the meatball in the rear to make him go faster.

"Ow!" Meatwad went.

"Shake! Don't do that!" Frylock said sternly.

"I ain't even buggin' you!" Meatwad shouted.

"Yes, you are. You're in my way!" Shake responded.

"Shake... the pool isn't even that far..." Frylock said. "Plus, you're the slowest one."

"Oh yeah, well you're the lamest one, huh?" Shake laughed mockingly. "You heard that? You-" His smile dropped. "You're the lamest one..." Frylock did not give him a reaction, just looking past him. This annoyed Shake. "Listen! When I talk, you react!"

However, Frylock took notice of something else, something that made his look quizzical.

"What the hell?"

He hovered past Shake, who only now reacts to it.

"Oh my god..." He uttered.

"Hey y'all!" Meatwad shouted as he looked in horror as he sat on the edge of Carl's pool. "Where's the water?!"

Shake looked down into the pool and his eyes widened in horror.

"What the hell happened to my pool?!" Shake screamed.

"Oh... you mean my pool?"

Someone just caught their attention, it was Carl. He was their neighbor and the real owner of the pool, and he looked pissed to see the Aqua Teens.

"Carl!" Shake went to him. "Look! Someone drained all the water from the pool!"

"Yeah... that someone was me." Carl said. "I'm cleaning it out while keeping you freaks out..."

"But it's Summer, Carl! It's hot!" Meatwad whined.

"How are we gonna keep cool? I require to do my cardio and swimming is the best method!" Shake said.

"Well... I get a refill in 3 weeks." Carl said unsympathetically before turning around. "Well... see ya..."

He walked back into his house, sliding the door closed.

"What are we gonna do about the heat?!" Meatwad asked.

Shake looked to their head scientist.

"Frylock! You're a scientist! Shoot us a pool in the back!"

"I do not shoot pools..." Frylock said with a lack of patience for Shake's selfish stupidity.

"Then why waste your time on molecular witchcraft..." Shake said as he turned around and walked away. "I'll do it myself..."

"And where the hell are you goin'?" Frylock asked.

"To get us a pool!" Shake shouted.


It was about 2 hours later.

Shake had gotten his roommates to join him in the backyard.

"Dudes! Check this out!" Shake said as he held up what looked like a blue shoebox with some writing on it. "They were just giving this away!"

There was a symbol on the side of the box, one that looked like a yellow W.

Frylock hovered closer to read the box's writing.

"Pools for Fools... Hmm..."

"What are ya doin'? Readin'? Nerd!" Shake mocked, earning an enraged glare from Frylock. "Check this out!"

Shake dropped the box and bent down to open it. He took something out.

It appeared to be a grenade.

Frylock and Meatwad both stared wide-eyed in horror.

"Shake! No!" Frylock shouted.

Shake did not listen, he pulled and threw the grenade into the backyard.

It exploded.

Once the smoke cleared, Frylock got up, panting in horror as his ears were ringing.

Once he saw Shake, he was absolutely furious.

He yelled at his idiot roommate for doing something so unbelievably stupid, but Shake just stood there, not really phased because he too couldn't hear anything.

However, their hearing started to come back.

"NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!" Frylock shouted.

Shake, nonchalantly, just laughed.

"Well... I made us room for a pool, didn't I?" Shake said as he pointed to a large crater he's made in the backyard. "Now is step two!"

"Frylock?!" Meatwad screamed for his good roommate.

Frylock turned around, and to his horror, Meatwad was splattered on the wall of their house.

"Meatwad?!" He hovered to his aid.

Meatwad slid down the wall before reforming to his ball form. He took a moment to make sure he was okay before directing his anger at his other roommate.

"This pool better be worth it!" Meatwad snapped at Shake.

"My thoughts exactly, Shake!" Frylock shouted.

"Uh-huh..." Shake said as he took out what looked like a blue capsule. "Now... if the redhead and his old guy boss were right, we just hit this with water."

He then tossed the capsule into the crater they've made.

"So... where's the water you're gonna add?" Frylock asked with one eyebrow risen.

"Here." Shake said as he started to build up spit, much to Frylock and Meatwad's disgust.

"SHAKE!" Frylock shouted, making him stop. "Don't do that! I got a better, less gross idea..."


Frylock, using the glass of water he got from the kitchen, poured water on the capsule in the dirt.

"Okay... there we go." Frylock waited for something.

Nothing happened.

"Well?!" Shake was heard shouting impatiently.

"Nothing yet!" Frylock shouted up.

"You're not doing it right, Frylock!" Shake shouted.

"Then you get your ass down here and-" Suddenly, the capsule began shaking, something Frylock noticed and began to get concerned. "Aww, Hell..."

He hovered upward, getting away from whatever was about to happen.

As he flew past Shake and Meatwad, the two were caught off guard by the rumbling from the crater.

To their surprise, the crater then became filled with what looked like blue, clean water.

Shake, his usual smug self, smiled.

"That's what I'm talkin' about, son!" Frylock hovered to ground level near Shake as his jackass roommate continued. "Never disregard the word of the master!"

Frylock quickly ignored him and only examined the liquid.

"Hmm... this can't really be water, can it?" Frylock asked.

"Of course it is, stupid." Shake said, earning a glare from Frylock. "Let's swim!"

However, before he could go into their new pool, there was a splash.

"Hey y'all! It's cool!" Meatwad, who jumped into the pool, splashed happily. "Come on in here, Shake! The water's great!"

Shake, however, looked horrified.

"Meatwad! Get the hell out of my pool!" He shouted angrily.

"Shake, just get in." Frylock said. "There's more room here than in Carl's pool."

"Yeah, all my room!" Shake shouted. "Get his ass out of there! I wanted to be the first and only one!"

"Come on in here, Shake!" Meatwad invited.

In response, Shake built up his spit and spat into the pool.

"There! See if you want to swim with that in the water!" Shake shouted.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!" Carl, who just came outside, saw this and approached the Aqua Teens. "What the hell is this 'ere?! You got a pool now?!"

"Yes, Chubs. We got a pool." Shake said.

"Aww... Hell yeah! Look at how big that is! It's as wide as ya house!" Carl said with a big smile before glaring to the Aqua Teens. "I want in!"

"Excuse me?" Frylock asked. "Didn't you say you'd have 3 weeks before you get your pool back?"

"I was lying to keep you freaks out... I want in!" Carl demanded.

Shake laughed at his demands.

"You're serious?" Shake mockingly asked.

"You three keep using my pool without permission, so yeah, I want in!"

In response, Shake turned around and spat into the pool once more.

"There! Still wanna go swimmin'?" He asked.

In response, Carl turned around and walked away.

"Friggin' cup..." He muttered angrily.

"That's right! Walk away! Keep walking and you might drop some weight!" He shouted to Carl.

He then started walking back to inside the house, to Frylock's confusion.

"Aren't you going swimming?"

"Not in beef stew!" Shake shouted. "I'll clean it out first!"

As soon as Shake left and returned inside, Frylock examined the "water" once more and pulled out a beaker from inside where his fries are. He took a sample of the liquid.

"Hmm... I need to analyze this..." He took notice of Meatwad, still in the pool and doing back stroke. "Meatwad, don't stay in too long. I'm not sure if this is water..."

"Mm-hmm... no problem..." Meatwad said, not really paying attention.


It was now nighttime and Meatwad was still swimming in the water. He had fallen asleep as he remained faceup in the water. He saw it was dark now as he woke up.

"Well... I guess I better head inside." Meatwad hopped out of the water and waved happily at the pool. "Nighty night!"

As soon as Meatwad left the pool and returned inside, someone else came. Someone still in flip flops while wearing swim trunks.

"About damn time..." Carl said.

He made his way into the pool remained with the water up to his chest.

He shivered a bit, but he got comfortable.

"Damn... it's deeper than my pool." He said before a series of air bubbles rose from behind him. He then laughed crudely. "Ah... that was a good one. Let's see if I can do that again..."

He then began to try, but he strained due to the pressure.

He struggled, but then a different body function happened.

"Well... all that beer had to come out somehow..." After taking a breath, he turned around. "Alright... let's see 'em want to swim after that..." He chuckled to himself as he got out and headed back to his house.

However, once he had left, something emerged from the water, floating in the blue "water" that opened up.

It was an eye.


That morning, Shake took his towel and headed towards the pool.

"Cannonba-" He stopped and gasped in horror at seeing Meatwad in the pool again. "MEATWAD! GET THE F[SPLASH] OUT OF MY POOL!" He demanded.

"Aww, come on, Shake! I ain't buggin' you!" Meatwad said as he floated happily.

"Yes, you are! You're spreading your little meat germs!"

Frylock, having just arrived, saw Meatwad in the water and panicked.

"Meatwad! Get out of there!" He shouted.

"Yes, listen to Frylock so I can cannonball once all trace of you is gone!" Shake demanded.

"No, Shake! Ain't nobody getting in that pool!" Frylock said as he pushed Shake away. "That isn't water!"

"The hell do you mean?" Shake questioned angrily as Meatwad hopped out of the pool. "And where are you goin' now?!"

"Gotta grab me a hotdog." Meatwad said happily as he rolled away.

As soon as Meatwad was gone, Frylock tried to explain.

"My tests show there's some trace of organic-"

"Whatever, nerd!" Shake said as he pushed Frylock back, who got pissed, and was about to jump in when a duck flew in an landed in the pool. Shake got made again. "Hey! Get your feathered ass out of my pool!" Shake demanded.

The duck turned its head at Shake and quacked.

"Shake... it's just a duck."

In response, Shake spat into the pool.

"There! See if you want to swim in that, duck!"

However, that's when Frylock noticed something just emerged from the pool. Something round and yellow.

It looked like an eye.

"What the hell is that?" Frylock questioned with an eyebrow risen.

"It's obviously a beach ball, are you stupid?" Shake said. He then saw the duck seemingly looking like it wants to get out of the pool, trying to get up but for some reason not leaving as it flapped. "What are you, second guessing?" Shake asked.

That's when, to Shake and Frylock's horror, the "water" then enveloped the panicking duck. It thrashed around in a vain attempt to get out as it dissolved, digested in the blue in front of them before the blue liquid retracted back to the rest of the pool.

Both horrified by what they just witness, the two elder Aqua Teens moved back.

That's when Meatwad came rolling back in with a hotdog in his hand.

"Hey, boy? You want you some hotdog?" He seemingly asked the pool.

"No, Meatwad! Don't!" Frylock said and tried to save him, only for Shake to push him back.

"Leave him! He's dead to us!" He demanded.

Meatwad then hoped into the pool and handed the hotdog to a large amount of the liquid that rose up and took a bite of the hot dog.

"I added all the best of condiments." Meatwad said as he took a bite of the other end. "Ketchup, mustard, relish, hot sauce, coffee, sugar, and butter, if you like butter..."

Frylock shoved Shake aside and noticed Meatwad was unharmed. In fact, he seemed friendly with the pool.

"Wait a minute..." He hovered in and eyed the pool curiously. "It's... it's not attacking you like the duck?"

"Nuh-uh..." Meatwad said as he turned around. "The pool ate a stray dog this morning and it wanted me too, but then I gave him one of Shake's hams..."

"You gave it one of MY hams?!" Shake angrily questioned.

"And from then on, for the past 2 hours, we's best friends..." Meatwad said.

"Huh... interesting..." Frylock said.

"Hey! Fryman! Cup!" The voice of their neighbor caught their attention as they turned around and saw Carl approaching, in his swim trunks. "Step aside, I'm goin' in like you keep doin' to my pool!" Carl demanded.

"Uh, Carl, I don't think-"

Frylock was unsuccessful, Carl jumped in.

"Ah yeah..." Carl said as he felt the coolness of the pool affect him. "Almost as great as when I peed in here last night."

"Ugh... Carl!" Frylock went.

"The hell's a matter with you?!" Shake shouted. "Just because I pee in your pool, doesn't mean you do the same!"

Carl laughed off their anger as he took notice of something just emerged next to him.

It's another eye.

"What is this, a pool toy?" He asked. That's when he felt something hot by his feet. "Ow! Damn! What is that?"

Frylock and Shake knew what was to come and stepped back.

"Aw hell..." Frylock said. "Carl! Get out of that pool!"

"Or what, smart guy?" Carl challenged before the pain by his feet got worse. "Ow! OW! DAMN! WHAT THE HELL'S GOIN' ON?!"

That's when he's pulled in by force.

Meatwad was just as in shock as his roommates as he hopped out

"Uh oh..." Meatwad said. "That ain't good..."

Suddenly, Carl bursted out of the pool and gasped for air.

"OH MY GOD!" He started climbing out and began running away. "CALL THE COPS OR SOMETHIN' ALREADY!"

He was halfway to his house when the pool stretched a tentacle-like appendage and wrapped around Carl's leg, pulling him as he clinged to the grass and screamed his head off.

"I GOT IT, CARL!" Frylock shouted as he fired his ice beams at the appendage, freezing it. "There... problem solved..." He said.

However, Shake and Meatwad took notice something else.

"You sure about that?" Shake asked as he pointed to Carl.

Frylock looked up and, to his shock, the tentacle have fully enveloped Carl, thereby freezing him in ice.

"Aw hell..." Frylock said. He then prepared his eye lasers again. "Hang on, Carl! I'll-"

"STOP!" A new, gravely voice shouted to him, making Frylock halt and look around in surprise.

"What the hell?!" He shouted. "Who said that?!"

"Here..." The voice went again, causing Frylock to look in the direction of the pool.

That's when, to his and Shake's shock, the two eyes were closer together and what looked like a mouth was formed in between them.

"What the hell?!" Shake questioned.

"Hey y'all... it's my new best friend." Meatwad said happily. "I'm calling him Blue."

"Thanks, Meatwad..." "Blue" said.

"Uh... okay... who or what the hell are you?" Frylock asked.

"A science experiment that, for some reason, was designed to eat people. I ate a dog and a duck after all..." Blue said.

"So... why not Meatwad?" Frylock asked.

"Yeah! He's made of meat with no bones! He's much easier to gobble up!" Shake said as he pushed Meatwad closer. "Eat him!"

"I can do that... he's my homie." Blue said "He swam in me and even gave me a hotdog."

"Well, you welcome, Blue..." Meatwad said.

"I was gonna eat your neighbor right now but then you froze a part of me." Blue said.

"Why would you eat Carl?" Frylock questioned.

"He peed and farted in me last night when everyone went to sleep." Blue explained angrily. "He pissed me off!"

"Well... you don't have to eat him..." Frylock said before looking to Meatwad. "Meatwad, tell ya buddy Blue here not to eat Carl."

"Okay. Blue, please don't eat Carl. He's our friend."

Blue looked to think about it.

"Hmm... okay. For you, Meatbuddy..."

"Okay then." Frylock said as he looked to the frozen Carl. "I'm gonna melt the ice now."

He fired his beams at the ice, causing it to melt and return to the blue liquid that returned to Blue.

Carl, now freed, was on the ground, coughing and gasping for air.

"IT'S ABOUT DAMNED TIME, FRYMAN!" Carl shouted as he got up. "Oh god..." He looked about ready to vomit. "That... was awful... What the hell-" Suddenly, he felt something wrap around his leg. He saw what it was and panicked. "Oh sh-"

Blue's appendage lifted Carl into the air and, as Carl screamed his head off, slammed the fat bald man into the ground several times, to the horror of the Aqua Teens, before tossing the now dead Carl into the side of his house.

"There ya go..." Blue said. "Got my payback..."

"YOU SAID YOU WOUND'T KILL HIM!" Frylock shouted at Blue.

"You said not to eat him." Blue said.

Frylock groaned in exasperation.

"Yeah... I guess that's true." Frylock said as he rolled his eyes away. "Alright, what the hell... you can eat the remains..."

"Thanks." Blue said.

Blue stretched one of his appendages out to Carl's corpse and began to absorb and digest it. Shake looked away, grossed out.

"So... Blue? What the hell are you?" Frylock asked.

"He my friend." Meatwad said.

"I know, Meatwad, I know..." Frylock said. "But I want Blue's answer."

"I told you, some asshole made me. Not sure why, I think he's an idiot..." Blue said. "I mean, it's not my decision to be born to dissolve organic matter and eat people!"

"Well... I guess I get wanting to be your own person." Frylock said.

"I mean... I want to see the world! Maybe eat only bad people, like rapists or people who bitch and whine about Star Wars sequels all the damned time." Blue said.

"I get that." Meatwad said.

"So... you promise not to eat innocent people or animals anymore?" Frylock asked.

"Yeah, sure." Blue said.

"Okay then... so... how are you gonna get outta here? Frylock said.

"Well, I had a reason I needed to ingest them and your neighbor. I needed some protein to finish maining my form to leave. I just need at least 20 pounds of meat." Blue explained.

"Huh... well Meatwad here has plenty of that." Shake said, nudging the meatball closer.

"Shake!" Frylock shouted at him.

"Yeah, but he didn't spit in me!" Blue shouted.

"Well... Shake is like 200 pounds." Meatwad said.

"Right... like you and Frylock are gonna let him eat me, right?" Shake laughed off Meatwad's implications and looked to Frylock, only to see Frylock wasn't there. "Frylock?"

"Take care, Blue!" Frylock shouted as he and Meatwad went back inside their house.

It just hit Shake he's now alone as Blue smiled.

"Goodie..." Blue said as one of his appendages reached out for Shake.


Inside the house, Meatwad sat in Shake's yellow chair as the horrified screams of their roommate was heard outside. Meatwad just watched television as Frylock went to grab a soda from the fridge.

It took 20 seconds but Shake's screaming finally stopped.

"I guess that ol' boy finished his breakfast." Meatwad said.

"Yeah... I guess so." Frylock said before the sound of knocking on their door happened. "What the hell?"

He answered the door and, to Meatwad's pleasure and his own horror, Blue was now out of the pool.

He was now in the form of a vaguely humanoid giant at 3 stories.

"Check it out, Meatwad! I'm all good now!"

"Aw yeah, boy!" Meatwad went.

"Imma head out now! Later!" Blue said as he turned around and started walking in the direction into the city.

"You do good now! Meatwad said.

As Blue kept walking, he was walking through cars and houses, doing untold destruction without intention. There were screams of horror at not just his presence, but the fact he was destroying everything he touched.

Frylock stared in pure horror as he picked the oblivious Meatwad up and shut the door.

"Lock your door and window, Meatwad!" Frylock shouted.

"Do you think he can drop by for a visit sometime?" Meatwad asked.

"HELL NO!"


Another Aqua Teen one shot I felt like doing.
