I didn't know what was going on, but from what I could hear, I'm guessing it was a meeting. I was in a dish all tied up. I was really hoping I wasn't about to be somebody's side dish. I tried to listen as hard as I could but I couldn't hear much.
"And if you thought a guy like me, can't get through a guy like you, guess what you thought wrong."
Suddenly, the dish began to move. I began to get nervous. Then the lid was lifted off. I screamed muffled screams. I looked around to see a room full of sharks then I turned to see Oscar. My fear quickly turned to anger. I sneered at him. If I got outta here alive, I'm gonna kill him.
"Pah. Man you the one who's wrong. I barely even know that girl. What's your name miss?" Oscar asked.
I looked at him like he was crazy. All this Sharkslayer stuff must have gotten to his head. He outta know darn well who I am! But I muffled out Angie.
"Oh yeah. Well I say he's bluffing."
I was NOT happy to see her again. It was Lola! I was still mad at her for kissing Oscar, but that doesn't matter anymore. Because Oscar prefers fame more than his friends!
"Lola. We meet again."
Guess Oscar wasn't happy to see her either.
"You know Sharkslayer, there's only one thing I like better than money, revenge!"
I began to wonder what happened between them.
"Your Sharkslaying days are over!" The shark above me sneered. I looked up to see Don Lino. Then I felt my anger turn back fear. "And there ain't nothing you can do about it."
Then Oscar began to do something that made me think he really had gone insane! He stated to laugh! Everyone just stared at him as his friends began to laugh with him. Then that dumb octopus who brought me began to laugh as well. What was so funny to him? But he stopped when he got punched on one of his tentacles.
"You got nothing. Nothing! Sebastian, take her out!"
Oh boy. I hope he meant Lola. But unfortunately he meant me when those jaws open up and charge right at me. I screamed in terror. And the next thing I know, everything went black. I thought I was dead at first, but I opened my eyes and it was rather black still. But there was just enough light that I could see the inside of a sharks mouth. As long as he didn't swallow me I'd be okay. But it smelled like kelp in here. Wait, do sharks eat kelp? Then I remembered a last night at the Whale Wash storage. Lenny, that vegetarian Great White, dressed himself up like a dolphin to hid from his father or something after him and Oscar's performance yesterday.
But I'm a fish, and if Lenny is a vegetarian, oh gosh I might make him sick. Now I'm really gonna kill Oscar!
But then I felt a small jerk from the shark. I really hope he wasn't getting sick. But I had a bad feeling he was. This was bad. But it least it meant I wasn't gonna get eaten. Then the shark jerked back and opened his jaws. I stumbled onto the table with a leaf on my head. I sat up and pulled the leaf off my head.
"Ang are you ok?" Oscar asked.
"No! I am not ok! He ate me!" I yelled in his face. Then I stormed off as Lenny complained.
"I couldn't take it! The taste was killing me!"
"Lenny?"
Oh boy. Lenny should have kept his mouth shut.
"Is that you?"
Lenny turned around to face his father.
"You're alive?"
He got a hug from his dad, but Lenny seemed to not like it. Then he noticed the scarf, or caution tape around his neck.
"What are you wearing huh? What is that?"
Lenny whimpered and took off the tape and then took his sponge and wiped the spray-paint off his face. Then he took the rubber band off.
"Hey boss its Lenny!" Said that darn octopus. "He was wearing a disguise so we wouldn't recognize him! But now he's not wearing a disguise, so we do recognize him!"
I really think that's obvious!
"Hi Pop." That was all that Lenny could say.
"Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Are you outta your mind? Do you have any idea how this looks?" His dad asked.
I just floated there and watched.
"What are you doing with this guy? He took out your own flesh and blood, Frankie!"
"But Pop just listen!" Lenny said, trying to reason with his father.
"But nothing! You never take sides against the family ever!"
"Hey Don Lino sir." Oscar said.
"Listen, it's not his fault this is between you and me."
"What did I ever do to you? You took Frankie away! And you turned Lenny into a dolphin!"
The Lino's sadness was quickly replaced by anger.
"I'm gonna get you!"
Oscar screamed in terror and quickly dodged Lino's head.
"Oscar look out!" I yelled.
"Oscar! Swim! Swim for your life!" Lenny yelled as he opened the door.
Oscar turned around and bolted out the door with Lino right behind him.
"We gotta go after them!" I said.
"How?" Sykes asked." We'll never catch up to them!"
"I can catch up to them." Lenny said.
"Ok. But get this spray paint off of ya first." Sykes said.
We quickly helped Lenny get the blue spray paint off of him and grabbed on to his dorsal.
"Hang on!" Lenny said as he took off.
He swam up to a broken porthole. That couldn't be good. They both disappeared.
"Where'd they go?" I asked.
"They went that way!" Some shrimp said.
Lenny quickly bolted off towards them.
"Hey this is the way to the Whale Wash!" Sykes said.
"Why is he leading Pop to the Whale Wash?" Lenny asked.
"God only knows why!" I said.
But then I began to wonder, why was Oscar leading Lino to the Whale Wash? He might be doing this just to get more fame. Why won't he just admit that he didn't kill that shark already!
