aalayah's pov

Look out! someone screamed screamed

Woah!

AHHHH!

Thud !

The two collided and marlin hit a hit a large coral and fell to the floor. He groaned in pain

I quickly swam to his side.

are you ok marlin that looked like it hurt

The blue tang, groaned rubbing her head then seeing us became concerned.

"Ohh. Oh, oh. Sorry! I didn't see you two. Sir, miss are you okay?"

"Yeah we'll be ok" I said before i realized that i was t alking to dory!

omg! it was dory really dory ! it took a lot of restraint to not squeel like a fangirl.

He's gone, he's gone..

Marlin chanted.

There, there. It's all right.

Dory said trying to console us

It'll be okay.

No, no. They took them away. We have to find the boat. Marlin said getting up.

A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat. The fish said

You have he asked in shock.

It passed by not too long ago. She replied

Was it A white one? I asked

The blue fish smiled and extended her fin. Hi. I'm Dory.

Hi I'm Allay…. I was then cut off by marlin.

Where!? Which way!?

I glared at him. He just had to interrupt me. if this wasnt urgent i would had socked him

Oh, oh, oh! It-it went, um, this way! And it went this way! Follow me! Dory said taking off.

Thank you! Thank you, thank you so much! Marlin and I said

No proble,m dory called back

I smiled at marlin. Finally someone is helping us.

Minutes latter Dory had started to swim in a more carefree way, when she turned back and saw us her eyes widened and she straitened her position.

Marlin looked at her confused

Oh boy here we go I thought

suddenly Dory swam off to the side marlin and I followed her swimming in different directions.

Hey! Wait! Marlin yelled.

Don't loose sight of her I said swimming even faster.

We kept up with her until finally she quickly turned towards us looking angry.

Will you quit it?

Dory asked in an irritated voice

I'm trying to swim here. What, ocean ain't big enough for you?

You got a problem, buddy? What about you girl? You got a problem? Huh? Huh? Do 'ya? Do 'ya? Do 'ya? You want a piece of me?

Dory lifted her fins defensively Yeah,

oooh, I'm scared !? she said mockingly

Wait a minute..

I said feigning hurt.

Stop following me, okay!? Dory yelled at us.

What are you talking about ? You're showing us which way the boat went! Marlin said sounding upset.

A boat? With that dory's eyes widened and she became very friendly. Hey, I've seen a boat. It passed by not too long ago. It went this way, it went this

way. Follow me! She started off.

Not again I sighed.

Wait a minute, wait a minute! Marlin and I swam in front of dory, stopping her. What is going on? You already told us which way the boat

was going! Marlin yelled angrily.

I did? Dory asked.

Yes you did I gently said.

Oh no dory said relizing what had happened

If this is some kind of practical joke, it's not funny! And I know funny..I'm a clownfish!

Marlin fumed

Marlin please let dory explain. She is not trying to pull a joke on us. Are you dory? I asked. I gave her a kind smile.

She's right. I know its not funny i-I'm I'm so sorry. See, I suffer from short-term memory loss. Dory explained

Short-term memory loss..I don't believe this! Marlin said throwing his fins up with a snort

No, it's true. I forget things almost instantly.

It runs in my family..dory said then she had a thoughtfull face on

at least I think

it does. Hmmm..where are they? She thought for a few moments then saw us Can I help you?

I sniggered under my breath. Dory always ,,makes me happy.

Something's wrong with you, really. You're wasting my time. I have to find my son. Come on sandy.

Don't forget about sandra marlin I said swimming after him

But we only swam about 5 tailstrokeswhen suddenly we saw a shark right in our path we marlin and I gasped and shook in fear. The shark smiled at us showing off his many rows of sharp teeth.

Hello. The shark said

Well, hi!

Dory said. I envied dory's she was greeting the shark as if he was an old pal. While me and marlin were scared stiff.

h-h-i o stamred.

The shark Extends his fin Name's Bruce.

Marlin backs away in terror, while Dory appeared more uncertain. than intimidated.

It's all right, I understand. Why trust a shark, right?

Bruce acted as if he was leaving suddenly he came back and snapped his jaws just inches from us. Marlin and I screamed in terror. Marlin hid behind dory while I fell to the sandy floor.

. Bruce laughed as if it was a joke.

Ok deep breaths Alexandra deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeepv breaths it was.. just a joke… that scared me half to death. I muttered glaring at bruce.

I looked at marlin gently don't worry I never really was fond of sharks.

So, what's a couple of

bites like you doing out so late, eh?

Bruce said looking at us.

Nothing. We're not doing anything. We're not even out.

Marlin nervously said.

Dory and I nodded.

Great! Then how'd you morsels like to come to a little get-together I'm havin'?

You mean like a party? Dory said excitedly.

Yeah, yeah, that's right-a party! What do you say?

Ooh, I love parties! That sounds like fun.

That does sound great I began ith a thoughtful look.

Parties are fun, and it's tempting but-

Marlin said taking my fin and leading me backward

Oh, come on, I insist.

Bruce said swimming right up behind us, blocking our chance to swim away.

O-okay..that's all that matters. Marlin stammered.

A few minutes latter we saw many undersea mines. I moved my fin to avoid touching one to my right,

Hey, look-balloons! It is a party!

Dory said excitedly

Ha ha ha! Mind your distance, though. Those balloons can be a bit dodgy. You wouldn't want

one of them to pop.

Ill keep that in mind I said.

A while latter we saw a sunken submarine.

Anchor! Chum!

Bruce called

Two other sharks peered oyt from the submarine.

There you are, Bruce, finally!

We got company.

Bruce said. Dory and I both waved.

Uh.. hi there I said.

It's about time, mate.

One shark said.

We've already gone through all the snacks and I'm still starvin'!

The other one grumbled.

We almost had a feeding frenzy.

The hammerhead grunted.

Come on, let's get this over with.

The mako said

Ding

Marlin I said you can look now

Marlin peeked through his fins.

We-we're alive?

I rolled my eyes. Yes we are alive.

Right, then. The meeting has officially come to order. Let us all say the pledge..

Bruce and the sharks raised their fibns

'I am a nice shark, not a mindless eating machine. If I am to change this image, I must

first change myself. Fish are friends, not food'.

During the pledge dory and I raised our fins. Earning a shocked look from marlin.

Except stinkin' dolphins.

Anchor muttered.

Whats wrong with them I asked curiously.

they think they're sooo cute! Chum the mimicked what he thought a dolphin would say 'Hey, look at me. I'm a flippin' little dolphin!

Let me flip for 'ya! Ain't I a somethin'!'

Dory and I sniggered.

Right, then. Today's meeting is step 5, 'BRING A FISH FRIEND'. Now do you all have your

friends?

Got mine.

Anchor said.

Showing a green fish who was shaking in fear.

Hey there! Dory said waving

I turned to chum How about you, Chum?

Where's your friend

Oh, um, I seem to have misplaced my uh, friend.

At that the skeleton of a fish popped from chums jaws

Marlin gasped. I smiled a bit. Poor chum. He needed a lil work but hes not a bad shark.

That's all right, Chum. I had a feeling this would be a difficult step, you can help yourself

to one of my friends.

Bruce said kindly

Oh, thanks, mate. A little chum for Chum, eh?

I swam gforward. I'll be your friend chum.

Chum smiled at me. I took my place next to him.

"I'll start the testimonies. Hello, my name is Bruce."

Hello bruce the sharks and I said.

"It has been three weeks since my last fish, on my honor, or may I be chopped up and

made into soup."

The sharks, dory and I clapped.

Wow bruce three weks that's great buddy good job.

I said clapping

You're an inspiration to all of us.

Chum said teaerry eyed.

Right, then. Who's next?

Bruce said

Ooh! Pick me! Pick me! Dory said raising her fin excitedly.

Yes, the little Sheila down the front.

Woo-hoo! Dor cheered

DORY swam up to the podium

Hi. I'm Dory.

And, uh, well, I don't think I've ever eaten a fish

Dory laughed nervously

The sharks applauded after a moment of silence.

Hey, that's incredible. Chum said impressed

Good on 'ya, mate!

Bruce cheered.

Whew! I'm glad I got that off my chest. Dory said wiping her forehead.

Allright who's next bruce asked

I raised my fin. Id like to go.

Alright come on up there. I

swam to the podium.

I took a deep breath. Hello, my names is Allayah

All right, anyone else? Bruce turned to marlin. Hello, how 'bout you, mate? What's your problem?

Me? I don't have a problem.

Marlin said nervously

The sharks were not convinced

Denial! They said.

With that bruce gently shoved

Marlin up to the podium as I swam toward dory.

"You can do it" I mouthed encouragingly to him.

Just start with your name.

Bruce encouraged

Okay. Uh, hello. My name is Marlin. I'm a clownfish-

Marlin began

Oh no not this again I thought why cant fish have ear plugd?

The sharks and dory looked interested however.

A clownfish? Really?!

Chum exclaimed.

Go on, tell us a joke!

Bruce encouraged

Ooh! I love jokes!

Chum said happily.

Nononono ohhh they are gonna be disappointed. sandy would had groaned

"Actually I do know one that's pretty good. There was this mollusk and he walks up to a sea

cucumber. Normally, they don't talk, sea cucumbers, but in a joke, everyone talks.." marlin said

This time I face finned my self. ugh this is even worse then before . I groaned.

The sharks started to loose interest in the joke only dory and I( unfortunately) were the only ones paying attention.

"So thesea mollusk says to the cucumber..."

He stopped when he saw something up above.

I looked up too and smiled at what I saw.

It was the divers mask hanging from the pole .

marlin look its one of the divers masks come on lets get it. I said starting to swim to it.

Nemo! Marlin exclaimed following me

I overherd the sharks commeting that the marlin was not actually funny. A snarky remark popped into my head but I said instead.

No, Nemo is his son. I said explaining who nemo was

" He was taken by these divers along with aalayah's friend sandra ." . Marlin said

Oh my, you poor fish.

Dory said sympatheticly. I smiled a lil at that

I overheard two of the sharks muttering about humans thinking they own everything.

b

BRUCE then cut in

Now there is a father looking for his little boy.

He sounded like he was close to tears

Marlin was the first to approached the mask he then tried to read the label on the strap

Ugh! What do these markings mean?

I never knew my father! Bruce wailed before bursting into tears.

I felt bad for bruce.

I then turned my focus to the mask.

I can't read human.

Marlin groaned.

Excuse me but…. I began. I was interrupted by dory who grabbed the mask

Well then we gotta find a fish who can read this. She looked down and saw the sharks. Hey, look. Sharks!

Dory swam downto the sharks marlin swam after her.

No, no, no, Dory!

Dory, marlin wait called there is something you and marlin need to know. I behind.

MARLIN grabbed the mask from dory.

No, Dory! He yelled.

DORY grabbed the face piece of the pulled trying to get it back

Hey! That's mine! Give it to me! She angrily said.

I pulled on dory's side of the mask trying to help her.

Let go I ordered.

You're crazy marlin said to dory. said pulling the mask still.

Gimme it back! Gimme! Gimee! Dory whined

Suddenly marlin's grip slipped from the mask's strap

Smack! when the mask hit us we lost our grip

Owww! Dory yelled in pain covering her nose groaning in pain.

Dory! I exclaimed in horror. Dory oh my gosh are you ok? Oooh that looked like that hurt.

Marlin saw dory rubbing her nose moaning in pain.

I gave him alook saying satisfied? Look what you did.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you girls okay? Marlin asked feeling guilty and concerned.

Yeah I'm fine I said rubbing my head.

Dory continued to rub her nose. Ow, ow, ow.

Hey, You really clocked me there. Am I bleeding? Dory asked.

Let's see. I said

Dory lifted her fins from her nose. I thought I saw a trickle of blood float upwards.

Marlin and I winced.

'Dory, are you oka…' bruce suddenly sniffed.

' Oohh, that's good.'

Intervention!

Anchor and chum said. Quickly they tackled bruce just before he could eat us..

Hold it together, mate!

Remember, Bruce, fish are friends, not food!

Anchor said .

Bruce broke free from his friends and lunged at us

INCOMMING! SHARK AT 10:00 I screamed

Look out! Marlin yelled shoving us to the ground.

I saw the grate and yelled guys grab the mask and follow me.!

Marlin and dory obeyed my command and followed me through the entrance.

I'm havin' fish tonight!

Bruce's voice echoed.

AHHHHHHHHHH! We screamed

We swam as fast as our tais could move but Bruce wasn't too far behind.. at one point Bruce almost had us in his jaws, when we quickly twisted around a cornor.

Faster I panted that won't throw him off for long.

We are marlin panted.

Sorry im jusyt very scared. I then had an idea. Hurry I said head up though that grate hole. We'll be a bit safer up there. I yelled

We quickly swam up through the grate to an upper level I've never gone this fast before I panted. Uh oh I said hearing matalic sounds he is not too far behind us.

Aaaaaaaah! We screamed as Bruce once more pushed through the grate

Hurry through that door I said pointing to the iopen door.

Once we were in I slamed slammed the door into Bruce's face. Whew I sighed that ought to stall him I sighed.

There's no way out! Marlin panicked.

No there's ..There's got to be a way to escape!

I yelled.

the shark kept ramming against the door

Who is it? Dory asked.

Dory, help me find a way out!

Sorry, you'll have to come back later. We're trying to escape. dory said

i gulped 15 seconds til bruce finds us.

There's gotta be a way out!

Marlin said

Suddenly dory and I saw writing

Look, here's something! 'ESSS-CA-PE'! I wonder what that means. It's funny, it's spelled

just like the word 'escape'.

It says escape. This is an escape hatch. Marlin we found a way out!

Let's go!

Marlin said pulling us throught the exit.

Whew that was close I said. Panting.

Yeah . Wait a minute..you can read?!

He aske us

It's a long story I said blushing

I can read? That's right, I can read!

Dory said excitedly.

Well, then here. Read this now!

Marlin said raising the label to us.

Bruce burst through taking the mask.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

Aw man! I yelled swim,….we'll read latter i said

I franticly looked around for a place to hide, when

I saw a tube I decided to take my chances I there.

In here I ordered

We quickly swam inside.

Oh no, it's blocked!

Marlin grioaned.

The soung of banging on metal drew our attention toward the only exit. Bruce was trying get us.

Bruce's banging caused the missile to move back and forth, only to be blocked by some sort of a screw . This drew Dory's and my curiosity, as we studied it carefully.

That screw looks important I murmured. I wwish I was in the control room so I could release the screw.

The other sharks shout appologise at us about bruce in between bruce's slams

Girls, we need to get that mask!

Marlin said

You want that mask? Okay. Dory said

With that she released the screw

Hang onnn I yelled.

No, no, no, no, no, no!

Marlin yelled

The torpedo slid and lodged the shark's mouth open. I smiled. Dory's idea had helped us to get out and get to the mask. Dory, you're amazing! I yelled hugging her

really dory asked

Really I said.

I relized we didn't have a lot of time.

Marlin, dory grab that mask! I ordered pointing to the mask on bruce's tooth.

Marlin and Dory quickly grabbed the mask and swam out of the shark's mouth. I followed suit and we swam back into the hole where the torpedo was released. Bruce hurled the torpedo aside, the other sharks looked in horror.

Oh no. Bruce?

Chum whimpered.

BRUCE finnaly snapped out of his frenzy.

"What?" When he saw the torpedo almost at the mines he gasped. Swim away! Swim away!

I peaked out.

They're leaving I whispered

Marlin and dory peeked out of hiding.

Aw, is the party over?

Dory moaned

Dink!

Ka BOOM Ba boom boom boom!

All The mines went off.

We quickly ducked back inside the tube.

Ahhh!

sandra's pov

NEMO And I fell into stange waters.

Dad? Daddy?

Allayah! Where are.. you? I whimpered.

Nemo I said I got a feeling we are far from home.

Nemo backed up against a tikihead he yelled in fright and swam off bumping into a glass wall,

He darted off bumping into the walls.

Nemo we aren't in the ocean anymore

I said calm down. I'm here I'll keep you safe. Shh. I saidsoothingly calm down

Where are we nemo whimpered.

Probably one of those tanks for fish I said. and looking around id say we are in a dentist's office

The man who had captured us suddenly appeared scaring nemo. I only jumped a bit. I recognized him as a dentist.

Hello, little ones! nemo yelped and hisd whiled i simply jumped.

Heh heh heh! Beautys, aren't they I found them struggling for life out on the reef and

I saved them?

Saved us? He stole us! Wew were doing just fine!

The man turned to his patient

. So, has that novocaine kicked in yet?

Nemo whimpered backing up against a chest.

Bubble ppped out

Bubbles! A yellow tang screamed he lunged for the chest. Nemo moved away with ayelp. The tang hugge the chest protectively

My bubbles. He said possessively.

Sorry I said backing up.

He likes bubbles.

The starfish said scaring nemo. Into a helmet.

I swam to it nemo its ok please come out.

Bonjour. A voice said scarring poor nemo even more.

Aah!

Nemo burst out slaming into me

Oof! I groaned, we both bumped into a puffer's fins

Heh heh! Slow down, little fella. There's nothing to worry about.

He chuckled kindly.

Oh, he's scared to death. The blackfish said.

I wanna go home. Do you know where my dad is?

Nemo said.

Where are we I far are we from home. I need to … I pant my friend .. she

Honey, your dad and friend are probably back at the pet store.

Pet store?

Nemo and I echoed?

Yeah, you know, like I'm from Bob's Fish Mart.

Pet Palace.

The grama added.

Fish-O-Rama.

Bubbles said.

Mail order.

Deb chirped

Ebay.

My jaw dropped.

So which one is it?

Gurgle asked touching nemo's 'shoulder'

We're from the ocean.

I said

Ah, the ocean. Gurgle's eyes popd open The ocean! Aaah! He hasn't been decontaminated yet! Jacques!

Oui.

The shrimp said showing up.

Clean him!

Gurgle ordered

Ocean!

Ooh, la mer.

Bon. JACQUES cleaned us leaving us both dizy

Voila. tHey are clean.

Wow. The big blue. What's it like?

Bubbles demanded.

Big...and blue?

Nemo said uncertainly.

I knew it.

Bubles said.

Kids, if there's anything you need, just ask your auntie Deb, that's me. Or if I'm not

around, you can always talk to my sister Flo. She said showing her reflection to us. Hi,how are you? Don't listen to anything

my sister says, she's nuts! Ha ha ha ha!

I chuckled deb was funny.

we got a live one.

Peach anniounced

Ohhh! What do we got? Deb asked

Root canal, and by the looks of those x-rays it's not gonna be pretty.

Peach announced

Whirrrrrr

Agh the patient screamed in agony.

I winced. Looks like he had a cavity.

Rubber dam and clamp installed?

Bloat asked

Yep. Peach said

What did he use to open?

Gurgle asked

Gator-Glidden drill. He seems to be favoring that one lately.

Peach said.

Moments latter we herd the other man yelling in pain.

Yep definitely a cavity I determined nodding.

Now he's doing the Schilder technique.

Peach said

Oooh, he's using a Hedstrom file.

Bloat exclaimed.

That's not a Hedstrom file. That's a K-Flex.

Gurgle said.

BLOAT

It's got a teardrop cross-section. Clearly a Hedstrom.

Bloat insister

No, no. K-Flex.

Gurgle said

Hedstrom!

K-Flex!

Hedstro-! Bloat was so angry he inflated and began floating away. There I go. A little help over here.

I'll go deflate him.

Deb said with a resigned sigh.

All right, go ahead and rinse. The dentist said.

The patient then spat into a sink.

Ugh! The human mouth is a disgusting place.

Gurgle moaned

Thud! Oof!

We all turned around. A pelican opened the window with his beak.

PEACH

Hey, Nigel. Peach greeted.

What did I miss? Am I late?

The pelican asked trying to catch his breath.

"Root canal and it's a doozy." Peach said catching him up on the action

"Root canal, eh? What did he use to open?"

Gator-Glidden drill.

He seems to be favoring that one. Hope he doesn't get surplus sealer at the portal terminus...

He then looked at saw me and nemo

hello…

NEMOgasped I guided him behind me and gave nigel a look.

"Who's this?"

New guy. Ha ha ha!

Deb said laughing giddily.

The dentist took them off the reef. Gurgle explained

I smiled and nodded.

Ahh,outies. From my neck of the woods, eh? Sorry if I ever took a snap at any of you two kids. Fish gotta swim,

birds gotta eat.

I smiled that is trtrue.

Hey! The dentist yelled startling nigel

No, no, no, no! They're not your fish. They're my fish. Come on, go! Go on, shoo! Shoo! Nigel quickly left knock ing a photo over in the process. I winced at the sound of broken glass. Oh,

the picture broke. This here's Darla. She's my niece. She's going to be eight next week.

The other fish looked nervous then dashed away as the dentist showed us the photo.

Hey, little fella. Say hello to your new mummy. She'll be here Friday to pick you up. You're

her present. Shh, shh, shh! It's our little secret. As for you my pretty one , I'll have to decide if I'll make you Darla's pet next year. But we'll talk later. I looked worried. Well, Mr. Tucker, while that sets up

I'm going to see a man about a wallaby.

Oh non, Darla. I moan please not her.

What? What's wrong with her?

Nemo asked me.

She wouldn't stop shaking the bag.

Gurgle said.

Poor Chuckles.

Bloat said saidly

He was her present last year.

Deb wailed.

Hitched a ride on the porcelain express.

Bloat said pointing to the toilet.

She shouldn't even be alowd to hold a bagged fish I angrily said.

NEMO now understood what was gonna happen to him . he panniked.

I can't go with that girl! I have to get back to my dad!

And I gotta get back to my friend allayah We gotta get out of here nemo I said worriedly.

I saw where nemo was nemo look out youre right next to…

nemo's suddenly was sucked into a tube Causing fortunately only half of his body was stuck in the tube, unfortunately this frightend him even more.

AHHHHHHHHHH! DDDaddie help meeee!

Nemo hang on I yelled we'll help you out.

Oh no he's stuck deb gasped.

We raced over to nemo. I reached for nemo's good fin when we heard a voice yell:

Nobody touch him! We all froze out swam a morish idol

No body touch him he repeated.

Can you help him I pleaded?

No. we all gasped. You got yourself in there, you can get yourself out.

Uh, gill… deb began.

I just wanna see him do it, okay? Gill snapped

Nemo began to whimper again. Gill turned his attention to nemo. Calm down. Gill told nemo. Alternate wiggling your fins and your tail.

I can't. I have a bad fin.

Nemo said.

Never stopped me.

With that gill showed us his daaged fin.

We stared in shock at what we saw.

Just think about what you need to do.

Gill told nemo.

Nemo took a deep breath and began to wiggle.

Come on nemo you can do this I said..

SHHH_ POP!

Nemo came out.

He smiled at both me and gill.

Perfect.

Gill said

The tank gang and I cheered and congradulated little nemo.

Wow. From the ocean. Just like you, Gill.

Peach said

Yeah. Gill said looking thoughtful.

I've seen that look before. What are you thinking about?

Peach asked chuckling.

I'm thinking, tonight, we give the kids a proper reception.

So kid, you got a name or what?

Nemo. I'm Nemo.

Nemo said smiling at his new friends.

How about you dear deb said what should we call you.

I smiled my name is Sandra.
