Haley was now waking up in the bed looking over at Susan who was still holding a empty can of soda sleeping in the chair so she gets up from tbe bed walking over to a sleepy Susan tapping her on her left shoulder she wakes up instantly
Susan : Haley what's wrong sweetie ?
Haley : i was wondering if you were okay because you were sleep in the chair while holding a empty can of soda
Susan : it's alright i'm fine now go take a bath while i make the bed
Haley : okay mom
skipping happily away while Susan got up from the chair to make the bed Haley was in the bathroom removing her pink long sleeved shirt with a pink with a knot in the middle placing that on the floor outside on a chair a white t-shirt taking that off as well placing her white t-shirt in the chair as slowly lowering her purple mini skirt with two yellow stars revealing her purple panties also removing them as well placing that and her purple mini skirt on the chair lastly removing her purple socks and her white shoes with lavender and a lavender sole placing on the outside of the bathroom her raven hair was loose and hanging down now turning on the warm water pouring into the tub until the water halfway filled it she enters the tub sitting in the bathtub looking down at her reflection in the clear water then she remembers what happened the other day with Tuiburon
Flashback to yesterday
Haley : i could have drowned !
Tuiburon : i see you can't hold your breath longer than Jake can
Haley : what are you planning ?
Tuiburon : i'm planning to flood this entire cave with water unless you can survive the flooding you're doomed
Haley : if it hadn't been for mom coming there to save me i would have drowned
on the other side of the bathroom door Susan was listening to Haley talk and she felt sorry for her since she didn't have strong lungs like her brother did being upset with herself for not developing that during her dragon training with Sun Park the enconomics teacher of Jake , Trixie and Spud who is a korean dragon
Haley : i have to work on holding by breath in order to survive being underwater
Susan : she's serious
the seven year old washed her arms down with the warm water to release her stress Susan has just finished making the bed now sitting on the edge of the bed determined to help her get over the inability to hold her breath longer Haley was now coming out the bathroom with a bath towel around her waist and one wrapped around her head after drying herself off heading to the dressing room to change she now had her hair in twin ponytails with four purple beads two on each one a pink dress blouse purple dress with a matching skirt and white shoes coming into the room where Susan was at sitting beside her
Susan : Haley
Haley : mom are you ?
Susan : i'm sorry that you don't have strong lungs like Jake does i wish i could have helped you
Haley : you heard me in the bathroom talking to myself huh ?
Susan : yes and i don't want you to blame yourself for something that i didn't help you with
Haley : it's fine i don't blame you it's something that i neglected to do for me that's all
Susan : tonight we're going out for a nighttime swim
Haley : okay
Susan gets up from the bed opening the window to their room looking out at the sea the moon was full turning away from the window watching Haley saying the words " Dragon Up ! " changing into her dragon form it was pink her entire body was engulfed in a pink flame she flies out of the window while Susan herself takes the stairs down to the lobby heading out the backdoor once outside she reverts back to her human form
Susan : okay for now i just need you to swim out there to sea
Haley : okay
she started walking toward the sea walking on the muddy part of the sand until her feet was submerged in the water then goes under the water as the water washed up on the beach now swimming underwater Susan watched carefully as Haley tried to get over her breath hold limit at first she started to make gaggling sounds while being underwater running out of air now swimming up quickly to the surface breathing heavily
Haley : i couldn't do it i couldn't increase my lung capacity
Susan : don't be so hard on yourself Haley no one gets it on the first try it takes time !
now swimming back toward the shore when the waves were giving her a push forward being caught in the waves swimming to escape when she hits her head on the sand that was underwater before being washed up on the shore
Susan : let's head back now before you end up hurt
Haley : okay
returning to their room this Susan and her changed out of their clothes and into their nightwear getting she had a blue green night grown while Haley had a white short sleeved shirt with a blue kitten's head pink shorts and purple fur slippers she was barefoot when the two climbed into bed into bed Luong Shi's daughter was sleep however Haley wasn't sleep troubled by her breath hold dilemma she pretended to be sleep only to shed a tear that landed on her pillow then she closes her eyes and goes to sleep only to dream about herself surrounded by water in the middle of the Pacific Ocean a boat was coming toward her so she dove to down to avoid being hit only to start running out of air quickly she was swimmimg up to the surface extending her hand out to surrounded by bubbles coming from her she ran out here and then she was sinking to the bottom with the bubbles floating upward in her dream their mom wasn't there to rescue her waking up screaming at the top of her lungs it was now 3:oo am and Susan wa still sleep so Haley laid down not going back to sleep after that nightmare
