HotStuff, the fish!

Cleo, Rikki and Emma hang out in Cleo's room.

"I know what to call my new fish. Since Rikki gave it to me, I'm gonna name it in honor of her." says Cleo.

"What...? Rikki, the fish...?" says Rikki confused.

"No! HotStuff!" says Cleo with a smile.

"HotStuff, huh?" says Rikki, as she actually smile.

"He's a little less verbal than Pluto was though..." says Cleo with a soft voice.

"Oh, who wants a noisy fish anyway...?" says Rikki in her typical casual tone.

The 3 girls giggle a little.

Later when Emma and Rikki are about to go home Cleo pull Rikki aside.

"Rikki...I just wanna thank you for givin' me a new fish. He's perfect." says Cleo.

"No problem, Cleo!" says Rikki.

"Anything I could do for you in return...?" says Cleo.

"No! You don't have to do anything, actually. I'm fine." says Rikki.

"Okey! Thanks anyway! I hope HotStuff's gonna get along with me other fish." says Cleo.

"Somehow I feel that won't be much of a problem." says Rikki.

"What happened to the other fish? You know, the one you gave me at first that I didn't keep." says Cleo.

"Don't worry, Cleo. I took care of that. He's in a special place." says Rikki.

"Where?" says Cleo.

"Somewhere safe!" says Rikki. "Gotta go! I'll see you tomorrow. Bye!"

"Yeah! Bye, Rikki!" says Cleo.

A few days later Cleo is talking to her fish. "I know you guys miss Pluto and such, but there's no way we can get him back and now we have HotStuff who I'm sure's gonna be a good friend."

"Cleo! Emma's here to see you!" calls Cleo's dad from downstairs.

"I'm up here, Em!" calls Cleo.

"Hi, Cleo! How's you new fish doing?" says Emma as she enter Cleo's bedroom.

"Oh, he's doin' just fine! By the way, do you know what Rikki did with that other fish?" says Cleo.

"No. I assume she she took it back to the store where she bought it." says Emma.

"I guess you're right..." says Cleo. "Anyway, HotStuff's an awesome fish and the other fish seem to accept him as part of the group."

"Rikki did a good thing in the end." says Emma.

"Yeah, she did. That's why I named HotStuff in honor of her." says Cleo.

"I know!" says Emma with a smile.

"He's soo cute!" says Cleo about HotStuff.

"Yeah!" says Emma.

The End.
