I haven't watched the movie yet because it will be released on Wednesday for me and I can't go on weekdays so I believe I'll be watching on the weekends. So if I manage to make any mistakes relating to the 2nd movie, I apologize.
If anyone will be willing to help me with chapters I will gladly accept that but I must warn you, do not force romance between Hazel and Sawyer. It will go slowly.
Please enjoy :D
Dolphin Tale 3
Chapter 1
A brunette teenager holding a backpack in one arm steps out of his mom's newly cleaned car. He and his mom, Lorraine, were in a parking spot just beside a blue building.
Impatient for his mom to get out of the car while she was getting stuff, he ran to the building. His steps were loud and clear. A friend greeted him on the way to the door. His eyes widen, remembering his old friend.
It was Rufus.
"Hi Rufus," He said, smiling at the white feathered pelican.
The pelican squawked in joy and it jumped around.
"Sawyer!" The teenager's mom called, walking to him. "Don't just leave your mom there!" Sawyer laughed as he pointed at Rufus, who also remembered Lorraine. Again, it was overjoyed.
The mother smiled and pat the pelican.
The teenager crossed his fingers, hoping the entrance was unlocked.
It was unlocked.
He smiled as he remembered a certain someone always assigned to lock the entrance, but always forgets. He can't wait to see that person again.
Sawyer quietly opened the entrance to what is called Clearwater Marine Aquarium, which is a place where not only the staff displays sea and aquatic creatures, it is also a hospital who stays true to their rule: Rescue, Rehabilitate and Release.
He and his mom entered with baby steps, hoping not to catch someone's attention. The ground floor was deserted, Sawyer remembered the otters, dolphins and he saw a few new animals.
Sawyer and Lorraine went to the upstairs pool and saw a few familiar faces. They hid behind the door hoping to surprise the group.
Clay Haskett was there, somewhat one of the leaders of the aquarium. Phoebe and Kat, the two female trainers were there too.
Mother and son also noticed Kyle and Dr. Cameron McCarthy.
Sawyer tip-toed a little closer and then he saw a blonde teenager near the pool, her feet dipped into the water and two dolphins approached her, communicating with her.
Winter and Hope.
Sawyer remembered both of them. Winter, his best friend. Hope, a friend he met 3 months ago, who accompanied Winter after he left for the SEA Semester Program.
The two dolphins made a sound like a bird chirping.
"Tweety bird," The blonde said. "Sawyer should have come back here days ago."
"Where is he?" She asked herself, pondering.
And Hazel, his best friend ever since he met her at the aquarium. They somewhat had a spark but he was too happy to think about it. He was surprised seeing that Hazel was thinking about when he gets back. But he was a few days late. Just as he was about to walk to Hazel, someone tackles him from behind.
It was Kyle, Sawyer's athletic cousin and someone he looked up to as a father figure, ever since his father vanished years ago.
Hazel, not knowing what was going on behind her, looked back. Her hazel eyes widened at the sight of her best friend. She removed her feet from the pool and ran over to hug him. Lorraine, Clay, McCarthy, Phoebe and Kat watched the brunette being hugged tightly to death by Kyle and Hazel.
"How was SEA Semester, Sawyer?" Clay asked grinning at the teenager.
"I got to meet a ton of people and learn a lot," Sawyer answered, smiling.
"Met any girls?" Kyle said, smirking at his cousin, giving him a pat on the back.
"What do you mean?" Sawyers asks Kyle as he protests.
Hazel smiled at Sawyer, glad that he was back. The whole aquarium staff, even the animals missed him.
"Dr. McCarthy, how's Winter and Hope?" Lorraine asked the chuckling man.
"They're doing fine, they've been great,"
Hazel grabbed Sawyer's hand and dragged him to the pool where Winter and Hope were together. The dolphins chirped in happiness seeing their old friend once again.
Sawyer kneeled and pet the two dolphins.
"How's it going guys?" Sawyer said. "I missed you."
Hazel giggled and pushed the brunette into the pool. He left a big splash as he fell into the water. The group laughed.
Sawyer then pulled Hazel in and they both enjoyed playing with the dolphins.
"Come on kids, let's plan the welcome back party for Sawyer and his mom," Phoebe and Kat said in unison.
Sawyer looked at Hazel and she nodded and smiled at him.
The boy and the mom looked at the group in awe, honored to be one of them.

Sawyer and Lorraine soon were taken to the room where Sawyer also celebrated his Bon Voyage party. There holds a huge banner written along with the words "Welcome Back to CMA!" in big bold letters. Plastered around the room are posters of the aquarium's animals, dolphins and other things.
The lights brightened up the room and the homemade food is absolutely amazing. Soft music enlightened the mood and the atmosphere felt great. The whole staff took the time to make a welcome back party for Sawyer and his mom.
"Welcome back!" The whole staff shouted as they smiled.
Lorraine and her awestruck son explored the room and looked around. They were amazed by the lights and decorations, it was amazing they were able to finish this in a few hours.
Hazel then took the liberty of giving off a speech on how much she missed Sawyer and Lorraine.
"It's a huge honor to be great and close friends with the wonderful Nelson family."
Hazel held back the tears of joy having the whole staff back once again and so she continued her speech.
"For years it's been such a hassle to get things in shape and our popular, inspirational and outstanding Winter wouldn't be herself without the aid of Sawyer and his mom, Lorraine."
The crowd smiled at the blonde and Hazel had the feeling Sawyer and his mom, were happy and glad to be back.
"I'm glad the whole family is here, this must be the greatest moment I ever had," Hazel continued. "I love everyone here and thank you for exerting all your efforts."
As Hazel finished her speech the staff clapped in enjoyment.
The blonde walked over to Lorraine and Sawyer and smiled.

The welcome back party was short but thoroughly enjoyed and everyone loved it.
Clay was walking around the deserted aquarium after everyone left for home and he held a folder that held a lot of papers. He sat down a chair near a table and he looked at the aquatic animals that surrounded the place. Clay frustratingly throws down the folder and the papers scattered the table.
"The time is coming soon," He said sadly.
The view shifted to the piles of papers and on one of them said..
Philip Hordern
Florida Hotel
Building planning finished
Clearwater Marine Aquarium must come to a close
"All belongs to Hordern," Clay says, covering his face in sadness.
