Alyssa continued to keep an eye on Oakey as she finished up flossing the left lower side of the Pirahna Plant's teeth. Now she started working on the upper left side. She twirled the used yucky strand of thread around her right finger, while releasing more from her left and then she stuck the minted floss in between the gap of the teeth and leaned forward to pull the thread back and forth between inside the gap. Again she could see small meaty stuff getting dislodged from in between the teeth and almost gagged. She tried to think of other things less disgusting but all she could think about was food and she almost gagged again. If she didn't finish up this job quickly, Alyssa realized that she would end up not eating anything tonight, so she decided that she needed to speed up the flossing process for this side of the plant's mouth.

She removed the floss thread from the back gap, twirled that portion around her right finger and then stuck the unused section of the floss in between the next gap of teeth. She pulled back and forth until she was sure that the area was thoroughly clean of food. It was then that she realized that Milton must be getting tired by now holding the plant's mouth open while she had been flossing the teeth, so she turned and said to him.

"Milton, I can take over holding the mouth while you finish brushing the teeth Somehow I don't think that I'm going to be able to convince Oakey to do it properly."
