Chapter 3: New Shark Friend

A/N: For this chapter, a friend of my mine letted me use his OC. And it is a delight using it! Enjoy! :)

Destiny, Dory, and Nemo were playing hide and seek. Destiny was the seeker, and Dory and Nemo were the hiders.

Nemo giggled softly as he hid in Destiny's mouth. "She'll never find me here."

The whale shark felt something tickling her tongue. She laughed.

Nemo giggled and got out of her mouth.

"Nemo, were you hiding in there?" Destiny asked.

"Yep, I was. Your mouth is huge!"

Destiny chuckled. "Let's find Dory."

Dory was hiding behind a sponge bed. She chuckled.

Destiny and Nemo searched for her.

Dory's nose began to twitch. "Ah... ah..."

The forgetful tang sighed in relief when she didn't sneeze.

"Achoo!"

Nemo and Destiny looked at the sponge bed.

"We heard that!" Nemo said.

Destiny looked behind the sponge bed. "Found you!"

Dory laughed. "That was fun!"

"Yeah!" Nemo agreed.

Jenny and Charlie swam over to them.

"Hello," Jenny greeted.

"Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad!" Dory exclaimed.

"Hey, Kelpcake!" Charlie smiled.

Destiny and Nemo waved a greeting to them.

"What are you guys doing?" Jenny asked.

"We were just playing hide and seek," Nemo answered.

"Oh, that sounds like fun," Charlie said. "Can we play?"

"Sure!" Dory said happily.

"You guys will be the seekers," Nemo told to Jenny and Charlie, "and we'll be the hiders."

"Okay," Jenny said. She looked at Destiny.

"Destiny, aren't you playing?" she asked.

"No, I'm just gonna go on a swim," Destiny replied.

"Alright. See you later!" Dory said.

"Byeeeee!" Destiny swam away.

Angel came over to them. "Hey, guys."

"Hi, Angel! Wanna play hide and seek with us?" Dory asked.

"Sure!" Angel smiled.

Destiny swam in the beauties of the reef. She smiled as a few fish passed by her, waving their fins to her.

The whale shark waved back. She really loved the reef. She was able to get around without no walls. As she swam, she wondered if the workers at the MLI missed her.

They probably replaced me, she thought.

Destiny continued on her swim.

Meanwhile, a sand shark was swimming outside the reef. He sighed, feeling lonely. His parents were somewhere in the ocean, and he didn't know where they are. He didn't really have friends either, since he was a bit of a shy shark, unlike other sharks.

The shark then entered the beauties of the reef. He was about to swim more until he stopped. His eyes widened. His body tingled, and his face turned red. He had never felt this way before. The sand shark thought he had seen the most beautiful thing in the world.

Destiny swam in the reef. Her eyes squinted when she thought she saw someone.

The shark gasped and hid behind some coral.

"Must've been my imagination," she said.

She swam past the coral. When she passed it, she saw a tail sticking out. The whale shark looked behind the coral.

"Hello there," Destiny greeted.

The shark blushed. "H-hi."

"My name's Destiny. What's yours?"

"S-Shadow," he stammered.

"That's a nice name," she complimented.

"T-thanks. Your name is p-pretty."

Destiny smiled and blushed. "Thank you."

Shadow grinned. "Would you like to... hang out sometime? You know, just to get to know each other better."

"Sure! I'd love to!" Destiny exclaimed, smiling hugely.

Her smile is so cute, Shadow thought.

"Okay, great! How about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow sounds awesome!"

The sand shark smiled. "Okay, tomorrow it is." Shadow started to swim off. "See you tomorrow!"

"Alright, see ya!"

Destiny swam off fastly and excitedly. She couldn't wait to tell everyone about her new friend.
