Hello, Redstream here. You probably know about my clan, the Sierra Travelers Clan, and our invention, the world , or if you prefer, dimension portal. We, the warriors choose the world we want to be in, and for me, I chose the world of 'Finding Nemo'. It was awesome and exciting, but I am getting ahead. The day came upon a few weeks after our newbie warrior, Clawheart went to her world, "How to Train Your Dragon". She was awesome, but now, it's my turn to tell my story of my journey.

It was getting to be late winter, and I was patrolling the territory with some other clanmates, double-checking everything since the battle with the South Siders a month ago. I got a few fresh scars from that battle, bearing them on my right arm and leg. It's quite an honor to have scars to symbol what a warrior had done to fight for. And I fought for my clan. Anyway, I was wearing a heavy blue coat over a wool tan sweater, and black pants with pale brown faux-fur boots.

I was heading back to Upworld House to zoom down by elevator to HQ, and everybody was usually themselves, chatting, betting, or play fighting. I saw Sunrise in the cafeteria at her table, eating. I grabbed my meal, a salad and vegetables. I am a semi-vegetarian with the exception of eating either crab or shrimp. Through that wasn't a secret to anybody up on the Surface or here, but there's a secret that only the clan and Sunrise knew, and that I am transgender. I was a girl but I wanted to be a boy. You can guess what happened to me by causing to be here in the clan so many years ago. Sunrise and the others helped with the money and everything and I got the surgery, through I still got some girl parts left over in me to my request.

Anyhow, I walked over to Sunrise and she looked up, hearing me, and smiled. I grinned slightly, and asked if I could sit here, and she nodded. With a thankful smile, I sat down and began to eat. Sunrise commented that my totem radio necklace is waiting on my bed. I nodded, slightly hurrying to finish my meal, and finished in good timing, and dropped off my plate at the dirty dishes area, and with a nod of respect toward Sunrise, I quickly semi-ran to my room.

My blue door is number 21, the number that I figured that a certain great white's age is. I have a great crush toward Bruce. I love sharks, especially great whites and tiger sharks. Sharks are not the dangerous creatures that a great people are afraid of. Shoot, sharks are mostly harmless until you annoy them or attract them with blood. Bruce has that problem, struggling to control himself to not eat fish, only kelp, and trash on the ocean floor that people throw away. I admire him for that. He's a good-hearted fella, having help with his best mates, Chum and Anchor. And I plan to help him along, and see if I could assist some in Marlin and Dory's journey to Australia.

Anyway, I headed in my room, the doorway dangling with seashells, and fake sea flowers, and the floor, a white sand concrete covered with various faux coral of different colors, and my bed is shaped like a ship with the crow's nest filled with faux treasure, and a rust red dresser, and the walls painted in murals. The north wall contains the shark trio in full view, the east wall of Sydney and the harbor, and the west wall of the Great Barrier Reef underwater, with fish of various colors and shapes, and the bubbles here and there. My bathroom is sky blue walls, brown tiles, a glass sink, porcelain sink, and a claw footed black tub.

I gaped when I saw my necklace. It's so cool! My totem is a tiger shark in sliver metal with very faint stripes on its back, and two teeth each side of the totem, hanging from a green/gold braid. The first tooth on the far left is a hammerhead shark tooth, right next to it is a mako shark tooth. On the right side, the nearest tooth is a great white shark tooth, and the last one on the far right is a tiger shark tooth. I put it on, and I feel so powerful and safe. I changed my clothes to a beach surfer look, a bleached torn white shirt with blue shorts, and tan sandals. I grinned, and headed out of my room.

I skipped practically all the way to the portal where everybody including Sunrise was waiting, and I saw their right hands up, then Sunrise spoke the shark trio's motto, with everybody else echoing it, I nearly tore up, hearing that famous motto. They quoted it for me! Then they finished, bringing their hands down. Sunrise nodded with a big grin that nearly rivaled Bruce's smile, and with that, she turned the portal on. I smiled, thanked her, then I jumped into the portal. I looked around, the tunnels becoming the sea, showing the Great Barrier Reef in its natural, glorious beauty. I sighed peacefully, the colors calming me down.

"Amazing, isn't it?". asked a wistful voice. I looked for the voice, then I saw something move among one of the coral reefs, then it came out. I gasped in shock, recognizing the fish as Coral. She smiled at me as she came closer and closer to my face.

I asked shakily, "Coral, I never thought I'd see you here.".

Coral grinned, chuckling, "Well, I figure you might like to see a familiar face here. It's very wonderful for you to follow your dream. Through I was surprised that you like sharks, especially that big boy, Bruce, isn't it?".

I blinked, and fingered my hands nervously, "You don't mind? You aren't mad or anything?".

Coral waved a fin, rolling her eyes, "Of course not, kiddo. Besides, I like anyone who's special in any way like my precious Nemo. He's a remarkable boy, for sure. Marlin raised him all right.".

I smiled gently, "Thanks, ma'am. Nemo is a great boy.".

Coral scoffed softly, "Please call me Coral, if you don't mind me calling you Red, could I?".

I shook my head slightly, replied, "I don't mind.".

Coral nodded, "Speaking of special, Marlin Jr and Coral Jr, get over here!". Suddenly the caves near us spilled out with Juniors swimming out toward us, and swarming all over us. I giggled and laughed when they tickled me through my hair, face, neck, and arms, legs. I heard so much murmurs and laughs from the Juniors.

Coral chuckled, "All right, Juniors. That's quite enough playing. Red is needing to go somewhere now.". Awws and noos came from the Juniors as they reluctantly left me, swimming back to the caves. I heard a slight pant as I looked down to see a tiny Junior coming out from my sandals. The Junior's fins was flicking up and down. I leaned down, and gently cupped the Junior in my hands, brought it up close to my eyes. I saw a strikingly look-alike Coral with Marlin's eyes. She blinked at me, and I chuckled softly, as I brought the little Junior up to one of the caves. She looked back, then quickly flicked her tail on my nose with a giggle, and a thanking look in her eyes, then she swam into the cave.

"Oh, Red. You have a amazing heart. Thank you for helping my daughter there. She's one of the special ones. Now, I suppose you better get on. Can't keep the sea or your Bruce waiting!". Coral softly replied, then winked as she turned to swim, disappearing into her coral reef. I smiled, looked toward the end of the tunnel where the wrecked ship is, beckoning me. I then ran, and jumped, darkness overwhelming me, then nothing.
