Author's Note:

Bubbles to all the fans of 'Finding Nemo'!

Now, before we go ahead and read the first fangirl novelization (probably) of the colorful movie, I'd like to settle some concerns that I'm having since I worked on this. First of all, I'm not seeking any copyrights to this novelization. This's simply for my enjoyment of writing one of my favorite movies upon paper, and hopefully yours of reading, as well, and I'm not trying to gather your attention to myself for pleasure. At first, when I got this marvelous idea of novelizing 'Finding Nemo', I never *thought* that I would choose to post the novelization on Internet. But I know that from my experience: how can you enjoy your work if no one else is enjoying it, too? I thought it's only fair that I can share my insane love of the little adorable clownfish, Nemo, and the cast in the movie, included the amazing, realistic scenic backgrounds and the warm feeling we get from living through the movie. It's only my wish that you will enjoy reading the novelization as much as I did writing it.

I want to inform you about one thing. I'm Deaf, which means that while I worked on the novelization, I relied heavily on dialogue and body language the characters gave during the movie. I had no feeling what kinds of sounds they hear or what kind of emotions they use in their voices because I cannot hear. It's the same thing with the backgrounds. I used what I see and feel from the entire movie and did my bestest best to write as accurately as I could. That's why I want you to be patient as you read on if you find an error in dialogue, such as the wrong person saying the wrong dialogue, or the wrong emotion in a certain voice. If you think I make a mistake in the dialogue, I'm very happy to hear from you. I want to make this novelization to be similar to the movie with the same emotions, feelings, and strength. If you feel that the novelization is a bit 'off' to the movie, please send a comment or complaint to my email address. No flames, of course! Flames are worthless, a waste to anybody's time, and I WILL NOT listen to them. Uuuuuuuundeeeerrrrssttttooooooooddd?

Also, when it's true that I'm the main author of this novelization, this wouldn't happen without help. The novelization is expanded with my imagination, along with the help of two fan books of Finding Nemo (That'll tell you that I'm already a rabid fan): 'Finding Nemo: The Junior Novelization' and 'Finding Nemo: Don't Invite a Shark to Dinner and Other Lessons from the Sea', the entire movie of 'Finding Nemo' itself (included the Visual Commentary and 'Making Nemo') and tons of patience because I'm also working on few other stories. Oy, vey. :p Once again, I do not own 'Finding Nemo' or any of its cast, okey? The movie belongs to itself, to Andrew Stanton, the genius behind the movie, and to everybody that worked on it. Send them HUGE THANKS!

But I will have to set the disclaimer in each chapter to prove that I don't own 'Finding Nemo'. It's the Fido Law. Woof. So in the disclaimers, you will be greeted by two new muses of mine (inspired by the movie, of course) JC, a male Regal Blue Tang, and Dot, a Domino Damselfish. Usually, I wouldn't let my muses take over the Disclaimers, but lately, they've been begging me for their fifteen minutes of fame. Whatever they are doing, don't take them too seriously. They try very hard to be funny.

Now, let us continue reading the first fangirl-novelization of Disney/Pixar 'Finding Nemo'! And remember:

Fishes are friends, not food!

I mean it, buster! Hey, hey, don't you dare, if you put that fingernail on that flounder - HEY!
