Mission Impossible: Flipper

Mission: Flipper

Travis was promoted and given an office! So to celebrate and give him a little bit of decor, we bought him a fish, a cute little blue beta fish. The problem is, Travis didn't want to walk into the office carrying a fish in the little bowl. So we devised...
Mission Flip'n impossible
(Please start humming the mission impossible theme song right now!)

It was late on Sunday night, when the plan was executed. We got dressed into our casual clothes, so we wouldn't draw attention to ourselves. We even brought along Teagan to help us appear as a normal everyday couple. (What else were we going to do? Leave him home?) As we pulled into the Novell parking lot, we tried to turn off our headlights, to be sneaky, you know, but those dang daytime running lights wouldn't let us, and we had to approach the building with lights on. We parked the car, and with the fish bowl and water carefully hidden in The Black Backpack that Travis was carrying,(you know all the mission impossible guys have a black backpack) I had The Fish hidden behind my back. So we walked into the building, and rang for the security guy. As we were waiting, afraid that we would be found out, The Fish, was put into The Backpack. Yes open cup and all, was placed in The Backpack. We thought long and hard about hiding it in Teagan's car seat, but thought The Fish had a better chance of surviving in The Black Backpack. Finally the Security guy showed up to give me a badge. We VERY carefully walked to the elevator and pushed the button, we tried not to look to suspicious as we waited for the elevator to come. We entered the elevator, but because of the security cameras, The Fish had to stay in The Black Backpack. Finally we made it to Travis's new office. We pulled The Fish, the new tank and a big jug of water out, and started to get the tank ready. When it was time to transfer The Fish, we had a little trouble, The Fish fell onto the table and flapped around for a minute, until Travis got him in the bowl. We turned out the light to his office, and quietly left the way we came. Leaving the badge on the counter for the security guy.
The Fish, later named Fred, will live out the rest of his life in the office of Travis, at Novell!
The end

Hee, hee! HA! HA! That's hilarious . . . I especially like the part about how you reasoned that the fish had a better chance of survival in the black backpack! Travis, a million congrats . . . we are excited for you! SOUnds like you guys are doing really well and we are happy for that. Teagan, I don't think you would have sat on the fish, so don't worry about it.
