Aaliyah and Sandra were walking along the beach. Its so great to get out near the wayer. Aaliyah was wearing her dory swimsuit while I was wearing my nemo bathing suit.

Het Aaliyah race you to the water.

Ok Sandra

Ready set go.

We ran but sprinted and jumped into te water.

I win Sandra yell

No fair Aaliyah faked pouting

No I did not doon't be such a sudden;y Sandra paused and frowned she tried to get to shore but it felt as though she was being pulled into the water

Aaliyah! Aaliyah! I I'm being pulled under Sandra screamed pannickedly. Aaliyah grabbed sandra's hand and tried to pull her best friend out of the water but was pulled into the water

Ah!

Splash!

We opened our eyes we looked about Aaliyah I think we are under the water but how are we…

We stared at each other

Youre a fish the two friends yelled shocked.

It was true Sandra had now become a c lownfish and Aaliyah was now a hippo tang.

Wow this is cool Aaliyah breathed hey look she pointed is that who is think it is.

Sanndra peered over and gasped gleefully. Marlin and nemo! And it seems they are on their way to the school grounds

Come on Aaliyah lets go.

After a lil difficulty in swimming they managed to catch up.

Hmm, I wonder where we're supposed to go. Marlin murmured.

sandra Went up right behind him.

Excuse me, —

obviously that startled him becsause Marlin Gasped and turned around.

AGH!

Woah calm down

when he saw they weren't predators he exhaled tring to calm down . Don't you ever sneak up on me like that! He said Holding his son back

sorry I didn't mean to scare you.

I said .

nemo looked at us in aww

who are you. He asked trying to approach us. How old are you too? Are you from here?

Marlin then grabbed his son nemo What do you think you're doing? You know better than to talk to strangers? He scolded

Aaliyah chuckled its quite alright sir. And to awnser your son's question we are uh..

Let's just say we came from another place far from here. We're just visiting for a while.

My name's Aaliyah and I am 14 years old

I'm Sandra and I'm 20 years old I'm Aaliyah best friend

it's a plessure to meet you both

Marlin backs away nervously. Nemo was slightly embarrassed by his father's behavior

Are you still upset that I scarred you csause I'm really sorry…

Marlin seeing sandra's hurt look calmed down . It's fine. I'm Marlin, and this is my son, Nemo nemo waved at us hi he said .

Do you know this place

We're just trying to meet up with the rest of Nemo's class. First Day of School. Marlin replied.

Well lets try over there. Maybe those grown ups can help us. Aaliyah suggested pointing to three fish

.

Excuse me, is this where we meet his teacher? Marlinv asked

Well, look who's out of the anemone. The seahorse said smiling

Yes. Shocking, I know. Marlin said

Marty, right?

Marlin. The two friends chorused

the adults introduced themselves as bob, ted and bill

Bill then relized something. Hey, you're a clownfish. You're funny, right? Hey, tell us a joke.

yeah the adults agreed

Actually that's a common misconception. Clownfish are no funnier than any other fish. marlin said

Aw, come on, clownie. The butterfly fish said

Yeah, do something funny.

the octopus said

Yeah! The seahorse agreed

Sandy groaned so much for trying to get out of telling a joke.

Marlin finally gave in .All right, I know one joke. Um, there's a mollusk, see? And he walks up to a sea, well he doesn't walk up, he "swims" up…"

Oh great this was gonna go bad.

As Marlin tries to tell his joke smiles from the three fish slowly faded into a confused look. I noticed Nemo seemed embarrassed by the way he sheepishly smiled.

Both girls Felt bad for nemo. This was embarresing.

"…Well, actually the mollusk isn't moving. He's in one place and then the sea cucumber, well they- I mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber. None of them were walking, so forget that I-

Argh! how hard is it to tell a joke .

Bobs uddenly yelled Sheldon! Get out of Mr. Johansen's yard, now!

The fisg looked to see that three fish who looked like their fathers were playing around on the sea floor. suddenly, a flounder emerged from under the sand . All right, you kids! He growled angrily The kids hid behind the cranky sea creature with a but since the flounder had his eyevs and mouth on one side of his face lost sight of them instasntly. he swirled all around trying to find, but the kids kept close behind Johansen and giggled . Ooh! Uuh, where'd you go? Where'd you go? Where, where'd you go?

Sandy and Aaliyah sniggered thsatv was pretty funny.

Nemo tugged on his father's fin. Dad, dad… Can I go play too Can I?

I would feel better if you would go play over on the sponge beds. Marlin said

We groaned didn't Marlin know that that is more like a toddler area not an area for young kids.

. Ohhhh we winced as one of the kids fell of and started crying

Sandra Aaliyah Nemo turns back to Marlin with a "really" stare, marlin chuckled nervously

Youre kidding right? Aaliyah said

Sandra then added that little fish just got hurt that does not say safe to me. If that is a safe place then I'm a minnow!

That's where I would play marlin explained.

Oh of course you would. We thought.

The children, giggling then noticed Nemo had one fin tinier than the other and swam to him curriously.

What's wrong with his fin? Perl asked

He looks funny! Tad said.

bob then smacked Sheldon with his tail.

Ow! Sheldom yelled he turned to his father indignantly Hey, what'd I do? What'd I do?

Yeh and why hit your kid he didn't say a thing.

He was bound to bob said to me he then turned to the kids.

Be nice. It's his first time at school. Bob said scolding the kids

The two friends nodded

Marlin then said He was born with it, guys . We call it his lucky fin.

groaned embarresedly

Marlin please don't embaress you son on his first school day Sandra said exasperatedly .

Pearl then Showed her tentacle See this tentacle? It's actually shorter than all my other tentacles, but you can't really tell. Especially when I twirl them like this.

I'm H20-intolerant. Sheldon said with a sneeze.

Bless you. Sandra and Aaliyah said simultaneously

) I'm obnoxious. Tad yelled

then they all heard herd the sound of singing followed by

A ray soaring overhead.

manty kids cheered.

Come on, Nemo. Sheldon said

Whoa, you better stay with me. marlin said stopping nemo

Aww dad nemo moaned.

As Mr. Ray concludes his song all of the children gathered in a spot getting covered by their own teacher. Mr. Ray had a decided to play along just for their amusement he had had this done before apparently.

) Huh, I wonder where my class has gone? The ray said pretending to look around

) We're under here! The kids said

: Oh, there you are. Mr ray said

Mr. ray lowered his fin to the sand. Climb aboard, explorers.

the students gathered on mr ray Nemo notices that Marlin was still nearby. Dad, you can go now.

Mr. Ray noticed nemo and smiled warmly Well, hello. Who is this

Nemo smiled shyly. I;m nemo

Mr. Ray: Well, all new explorers must answer a science question.

Okay. He said

nemo You live in what kind of home?

Oh nemo should know that they thought

In An anemo-none. Nemo frowned and tried again to pronounce the name correctly. A nemenem-menome-nememen-nenemone-

Apparently poor nemo had a slight lisp.

Mr. Rayseemed to understand what nemo was attempting to say Okay, okay, don't hurt yourself. Nemo made his way onto Mr. Ray to join up with the rest the class.

Before mr. ray could depart, Marlin approached Mr. Ray.

Just so you know, he's got a little fin. I find if he's having trouble swimming, let him take a break. Ten, fifteen minutes—marlin said

Dad, it's time for you to go now. Nemo said very irratated

Sandra sighed marlin stop worrying. Look if it makes you feel better we'll go with nemo and make sure he's safe and doesn't wander off.

Marlin looked uncertain well ok

Okay, class, optical orbits up front. Mr ray said getting up from the sand. And remember, we keep our supraesophogeal ganglion to ourselves… That means you, Jimmy.

) Aw, man! Jimmy moaned

Sandy giggled

As Mr. Ray took off towards the blue ocean, singing yet another of his merry little tunes, Marlin watched as they departed

Bye nemo marlin called

Bye dad nemo said

Bye, son! Be safe. Marlin said

Hey will the two friends said.

Oh don't you panick my sister is capable of watching over your son. . I said patting him

Sandra and aaliya had enjoyed the sights the ocen was full of life and olor

Okay, the drop off. All right, kids, feel free to explore but stay close. He gasped at the speck he cyanobacteria! Gather. An entire ecosystem contained in one infinitesimal are as many protein pairs contained in this...

Come on, let's go. Tad whispered

Just as the three students snuck away, nemo and the ywo " supervisors" saw them leave

"Nemo we'd better go after them. Maybe we can bring them back before we get caught."

Nemo noded ok Hey guys, wait up! . he called after his friends.

Kids , I don't reckon we're supposed to… woah Sandra whistled breathed we all looked down.

That is a looooooooooooooooooooooooooong way down sandra comented.

Suddenly tad grabbed perl and pulled her back

just saved your life. He yelled

SPLURT

Aw, you guys made me ink. Pearl whinned embarresed that she inked.

At that they all cracked up.

What's that? Nemo asked

TAD butt in.

I know what that is. Oh, oh! Sandy Plankton saw one. He called, he said it was called a...a

butt.

Sandy plankton doesn't know a dang thing

Sandy whispers

SHELDON swam to the boat

Sheldon what are you doing allaya asks

Oh, look at me. I'm gonna go touch the butt. He suddenly sneezed propelling him backwards causing him to yelp in fright

We all cracked up at that

Oh yeah? Let's see you get closer. Sheldon indignantly yelled

Okay. Pearl swam a bit farther then Sheldon Beat that. She smirked.

TAD

Come on, nemo. How far can you go?

Tempting but no. that doesn't sound like a good idea Sandra replied

Besides , my dad says it's not safe.

Suddenly a voice yell

NEMO NO

It was marlin, he burst through the coral.

, furiously approached nemo..

Dad? Nemo asked shocked to see his dad

…Marlin tackled nemo and dragged him to back

Sandy turned to marlin marlin was that really necessary I mean….

You three were about to swim out into open water! Marlin yelled angrily.

Both nemo and the girels started to protest

No,its not true nemo prtested

It was a good thing I showed up here. If Iwehadn't showed up…

Stop please listen. I can explain we were not even gonna allaya started

Nemo's new friends swam to nemo's rescue

Sir, they weren't gonna go. Pearl said

Yeah, they were too afraid. Tad added

No,we were not nemo snapped

This does not concern you, kids. And you're lucky I don't tell your parents you were out

there., marlin glared then turned his attention to nemo

You know you can't swim well nemo

I can swim fine, dad, okay?

No, it's not okay. You shouldn't be anywhere near here.

Give me a break marlin ! You really think that we'd be dumb enough to pull a stunt like that? Sandra angrily thought

And you Sandra

Marlin I was watching him like I promised I

Okay, I was right. You know what You'll start school

in a year or two. Marlin said as he started to drag nemo away.

He then glared at Sandra you call yourself a grown up are not even responsible enough to care for my son.

Nemo angrily pulled away

No, dad! Just because you're scared of the ocean-

Clearly, you're not ready. And you're not coming back until you are. '

And you aren't ready to be with a child

You think you can do

these

things but you just can't, Nemo!

Marlin yelled

I hate you. Nemo angrily said

That goes double for me Sandra growled I'll make you eat those words you you jerk you shouldnot even be a father youre just sa coward who whos hiding in the anemone instead of enjoying life

Sandra Aaliyah breathed shocked

And you know what I'm glad you ain't my dad. You can't just give limits to us ok?

Sandra said adding to her insult before swimming to nemo showing she was iding with him.

Marlin gasped.

His expression went from anger to utter shock. Those three words that no parent ever wanted to hear were suddenly said by his own son

Nemo wasn't the only one angry, Sandra was P.O'ed at marlin for accusing us both of a thing we weren't even gonna do what's more I could feel what feeling.

How dare he do that accuse them wrongly it ought to be against the law! Sandras face had gone from orange yto a dark crimson.

Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I am a

scientist, sir. Is there any problem? mR. ray asked he had over herd the entire thing.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things. He isn't a good swimmer and it's a little

too soon for him to be out here unsupervised. And they aren't very reliable well Sandra isnnn;t

so now he insults me to my own face Sandra thought angrily

Marlin said apologizing for the row he had created.

so now he insults me to my own face Sandra thought angrily

Well, I can assure you, he's quite safe with me.

Mr. ray said assuringly

sandra looked at nemo.

I'm tired of being treated like a five year old. Lets show your dad how wrong he is. Sandra whispered said to nemo.

While marlin kept talking nemo and Sandra swam outv to the boat.

Sandra nemo come Aaliyah whispered.

But she was ignored

Oh my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!

Marlin turned around to see both Sandra and nemo almost to the boat.

Nemo! What do you think you're doing? Marlin demanded You're gonna get stuck out there and I'll have to get

you before another fish does!

Oh don't worruy I'm watching him Sandra yells angrily

Guys get back here it doesn't haveta be like this. Marlin was just over reacting. You know how he is nemo. Please come back guys. Aaliyah pleaded

Get back here! I said get back here, now! Stop!

Marlin roared.

Nemo and Sandra turned around still scowling. Even though marlin was yelling at us I fet no fear and neither did nemo as shown by his expression.

Hey marlin Sandra stuck out her tounge

:

Oh no marlin they're gonna…

I know I know marlin snapped. And I am not happy about this

Let me try to reason marlin usually it works. Aalaya called to them guys that's enough now you two are being childish . come back here and we'll forget about this alright.

Nemo taped the boat with his fin while sandra smacked the boat with all her strength.

Ha we touched it marlin were able to do these things nah nah naaah

Marlin roared

tHey touched the butt.

Tad whispered in awe

Sandra and nemo started swimming back.

You just paddle your little tails back here, . That's right. You are in big trouble, you two

Do you hear me? Big...

Suddenly, a giant figure burst up. It was a human diver

Marlin's eyes widened in fear " Big…"

Sandra and nemo turned around and saw the diver, they both screamed very loudly.

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Dad help us! Nemo wailed

As the diver placed skylar and nemo in cooler the boat hit a wave the wrong way causing a diver to loose hiss googles.

Marlin cried
