Alicia—Now, where are you during all of this? Here you are!

Princess LaLaBlue—Hello! I know, exams SUCK, but it'll be over soon!

greatbigsealover44—I know, right? They're my favorite characters, too!

Hearts Aglow-She's doing better. I think that a break is what we both need at the moment, and then everything will be back to normal. Thanks for the support!

Chapter Two

"Ouch," Alicia muttered, sitting up. "Did I hit my head and pass out or something?" She couldn't remember what had happened…one minute she was standing by the pool, getting ready to jump in the water, and the next…nothing. She had blacked out, and was woken up by the sound of birds. "Those are seagulls…are there seagulls in the winter?" She wondered. "I don't think so." She turned her attention to the pool…only to find that it had vanished into thin air! "What the heck is going on here? Is this…the ocean?" She was standing on a dock of some sort. She peered down into the water…and saw the face of a fish pop up to stare at her.

"Wow, Alicia, look at you! You're a bird!" Lulu said in amazement.

"Look at you! You're a…a fish! You're a…what was Gill again?"

"He was a Moorish idol," Lulu said, gazing at her reflection in the water. She looked almost identical to Gill, except she had a lighter coloring, softer features, and a smaller body.

"Okay, so this is one of those days," Alicia stated, looking at her new image in the water. What she was referring to were the many times that she, Lulu, and their friend Jenna had been transported into another world…most of which had to do with their favorite animated movies, like Aladdin and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Most of these adventures turned out to be pretty cool, but they were always a pain in the butt at the beginning, when they were dealing with their new surroundings. "And I'm not just a bird…I'm a pelican, like Nigel," she corrected, ruffling her feathers primly.

"Okay…so we're a pelican and a Moorish idol…where are we, exactly?" They glanced around, and their eyes bugged out of their heads when they read a sign that screamed SYDNEY at them. A lot of the boats passing by had SYDNEY written on them, too. "We're in Australia?" Alicia asked in disbelief.

"My dad's done work here, but I've never actually been," Lulu admitted, sinking deeper into the water. "I'm not sure how to feel about being on the other side of the world."

"Anyway, what are we going to do? I can't go underwater with you, and you'll die if you stay up here!" Alicia complained, a worried look on her face. "Also, I don't know what pelicans eat exactly, but I'm pretty sure that we're not vegetarians."

"Don't worry," Lulu said calmly. "Remember, Nigel ate a crab in the movie. So…you can eat those! Or…stupid fish that bother you, I don't know. Just don't eat me."

"I won't," Alicia laughed, but then grew quiet again. "What are you going to do for food?"

"Um…I know that my kind of food usually lives on the bottom of the ocean. I'm going to swim a little further away from here and see if I can find anything. If we don't meet up here in three days, that means that something bad has happened to one of us," Lulu said, being half-serious and half-joking.

"You sure you'll be okay?" Alicia asked, taking a tentative step away from the water.

"I'll be okay, and you definitely will be. Who knows? You might run into a certain brown pelican by the name of Nigel," Lulu teased. She had swum away before Alicia could give her witty retort.

"And Nigel didn't eat the crab in the movie…he didn't get a chance to. Those stupid seagulls were bothering him. Hey, maybe I can eat them," Alicia chuckled as she stretched her wings and awkwardly flew away.


Review, please! :)

I just watched A Fish Tale…do you hear something? That's the sound of NEW IDEAS…and oh, I will be using them ALL…or the good ones, anyway. The story is just getting started. New chapter tomorrow, I promise. I know that this is short…but tomorrow there will be an extra long chapter, I promise! (All right, enough with the promising. I must get to updating, I must…)
