Finding Emma

SPLASH! Kelsey felt herself plummet into icy cold water. Kelsey and Tinkerbell dropped like a stone to the bottom of the sea. The genie swam towards her quickly. "Do something!" he cried," Make a wish quickly! Ask me to save your life!"

Kelsey opened her mouth, but all that came out was a bubble. Genie popped it with his finger and Kelsey's indignant voice rang out. "Yeah and waste ANOTHER wish? I think not! I wish we could breathe underwater!" Genie aimed his finger like a gun and blasted Kelsey with magic. Kelsey inhaled deeply. "Wow, kid," he said with a smile," That was some quick thinking."

"I'm not gonna waste my wishes on something like saving my life," Kelsey grumbled," Where's the future benefit in that?" She scowled as she looked down," I just found this thing and I only have one wish left! I better save it for something important, like getting Emma and me home." Emma! Kelsey suddenly remembered why she was here. She looked around frantically for her cousin. What on earth would she be doing here?

"I must say," Genie said looking at her carefully," I've had a lot of interesting masters, but nothing like you."

"I can't say I've met many like you either," Kelsey said," And I know the rules. No love wishes. No bringing people back from the dead. No killing anyone."

"Wow," Genie said turning into a blue Einstein," You are quite the genius."

"That's going a bit far," Kelsey said," I just do my homework. Now where are we and where's Emma?!" Kelsey looked around at the undersea world they had entered. Colorful fish and coral decorated the sea floor. As soon as the fish caught sight of them they scattered.

"What?" Genie asked sniffing his breath," Do I offend?"

"Hey! Look at that Marlin!" A small blue fish cried," It's a human! Wasn't I supposed to remember something about humans?"

"Yeah!" Marlin cried," Don't go near them!" The two started swimming away frantically. Kelsey recognized them instantly.

"Marlin!" she cried," And Dori!"

"You talk to fish too?" Genie asked scratching his head.

"No, they're from Finding Nemo," Kelsey said," My cousin watches that show so much I have it memorized!"

"Hey! She knows my name!" Dori cried swimming closer to Kelsey," Hello? Have we met before? I may have accidentally forgotten you."

"Dori no!" Marlin cried," She's gonna eat us!"

"No! Look," Kelsey cried," I'm not going to eat you. I promise."

"You better not!" Marlin cried," Because we know sharks and they could..."

"You know sharks?" Dori cried," Cool! Can I meet them?"

"I'm not going to eat you!" Kelsey cried," I swear! Don't worry. I'm just looking for my cousin. She's little. Looks kind of like me only smaller and with pigtails." Genie poofed and turned into a blue version of what Emma was supposed to look like.

"Ah," Dori said," She's looking for a little kid in the big wide ocean with no help. Why does that seem familiar?"

Marlin looked up at Kelsey with understanding. "That's too bad," Marlin said," Well, maybe we can help you. We haven't seen anything, but maybe Nemo has. We were just about to pick him up from school."

"That's a good start!" Kelsey cried," I know she has to be here somewhere. I'm not sure how, but she got here.

"Let's get a move on!" Genie cried excitedly. It transformed into a dolphin and swam ahead.

"Come on Tink," Kelsey said. Tinkerbell was not enjoying water. She attempted to swim haphazardly. "Maybe you should just grab onto my sleeve," Kelsey said offering Tinkerbell her arm. She clung to it tightly. Kelsey pulled her hat down further on her head. It kept threatening to float away underwater. The lamp sat there safely banging against Kelsey's head. The little group paddled off through the waters.

The little group swam towards the colorful reef where Marlin, Dori and Nemo made their home. An elegant sting ray drifted closer to them with a merry little troupe of children. Nemo swam towards Marlin a little awkward with his small fin struggling to keep up with the other. He caught sight of Kelsey and let out a scream," Humans! Dad! Come on we gotta get out of here!"

"No, don't worry!" Marlin said grabbing a hold of his tail," This is my..."

"Kelsey."

"Oh so that's your name, Master," Genie said," I was wondering."

"Kelsey's looking for her cousin, Jenna," Dori piped.

"Actually it's Emma."

"Oh," Nemo said," I haven't seen anybody like you." Kelsey let out a heavy sigh.

"Thanks anyway." she started to swim away. Nemo continued to babble to his father," But Dad it was so cool! Guess what we saw today!" He didn't wait for Marlin to guess," Mermaids! They swam right by us!"

"Wait a second!" Kelsey cried," Freeze!" Genie promptly turned into an ice sculpture. "Very funny," Kelsey sighed. She swam back. "You said you saw mermaids?"

"Yeah!" Nemo cried eager to have an involved listener to his little story," They were in the reef. It was so cool, dad! We could hear them singing and everything!"

"Maybe she's with them," Kelsey said. Emma loved Mermaids. They decorated every inch of her room.

"Good job, Nemo!" Dori cried," You can help us find Tina!"

"It's Emma," Kelsey said again," Let's go see this reef."

It was oddly quiet and still as they swam to the reef Nemo had told them about. Kelsey looked around for her cousin. "Emma?!" she cried," Emma! Emma!"

"Lena! Lena!" Dori yelled out. Kelsey rolled her eyes and didn't bother to correct her this time.

"Here use this!" Genie cried turning into a megaphone.

"Thanks!" Kelsey said taking him and yelling into it," Emma!" Genie winced at the yelling. Kelsey's voice echoed across the empty open sea. Nothing. No mermaids. No Emma. No nothing! Kelsey let go of the Genie. She wanted nothing more than to sink to the bottom of the sea like an anchor. Genie turned back and gently placed a hand on her shoulder," Don't worry, master. We'll keep looking. We'll find her." Kelsey nodded sadly. Marlin swam up besides her.

"I know how you feel," he said warmly," But you can't just give up!"

"Hey do you hear that?" Dori cried," Someone's coming! HELLO!"

"Emma?" Kelsey asked.

Something was coming towards them riding on the waves of the sea. Something big. Whatever it was, it wasn't Emma! "I don't think that's her," Kelsey said anxiously.

Suddenly, a long tentacle shot out and snatched Kelsey around the waist. It dragged her down towards the depths knocking the wind out of her. "Help!" Kelsey cried trying to wriggle free of it. She looked down in a panic. The tentacle around her wasn't Animated, it was Real!

The Genie turned into a sea captain and pointed out at the thing," Avast! It be the giant squid!" He turned into a harpoon and fired himself at the creature. It struck it hard in one of the tentacles. The squid reared back angrily and flung Kelsey away.

"Yikes!" Kelsey screamed," I don't want to be a human torpedo!"

Tentacles were flung out everywhere. One managed to snag Kelsey's ankle. The other had a firm grip on Genie. Dori, Marlin and Nemo swam quickly around the great monster trying to get away. "This is one stubborn squid!"

"It's not a squid!" Kelsey cried as the thing dragged it close to its mouth," I recognize this thing! It's the Kraken!"

The Kraken squeezed the Genie tighter," Yeah!" he gasped," It's a kraken my bones right now!"

"Daddy!" she heard Nemo wail. She looked around frantically for the little guy. The Kraken had snagged him by his tail and was lazily moving him towards his mouth.

"Nemo, no!" Marlin cried desperately flinging himself at the Kraken. Tinkerbell flew close and banged her fists against the creature. The Kraken waved both of them away as if they were flies.

"Leave him alone you big bully!" Kelsey yelled. With her free leg she kicked the monster hard in the eye. The monster roared with pain. Kelsey pulled her hat down over her mouth. She was almost overwhelmed by the stench of its breath. It had been bad enough when she had watched Pirates of the Caribbean with her best friend. She didn't need to get this close!

Nemo managed to get himself free. "Go Nemo!" Kelsey cried out," Move it!" The little fish took off and buried himself in the nearest anemone. The Kraken's eye was watering and throbbing. It clutched both Kelsey and Genie tightly and snarled, or at least it sounded like a snarl to Kelsey. "Ouch!" Kelsey screamed," Let go of me you oversized piece of calamari!" Probably not the best thing to say to the Kraken. It shook her furiously. Kelsey's hat drifted away. She was so dizzy she could scarcely see straight, and the lamp had floated casually to the bottom of the ocean well out of her grip.

"Do something!" Genie cried," Quick!"

"Like what?!" Kelsey cried.

"I don't know! Something!"

"You're turn to think up something!"

"Make a wish!"

"I don't wanna!" Kelsey groaned.

"You have to!"

"Oh fine!" Kelsey grumbled she drew a deep breath and was about to make a wish. Suddenly, a beam of white light shot through water cutting right into the Kraken. The Kraken shrieked and released both of them. Kelsey swam down after her hat and then quickly away from the monster. Genie grabbed her arm and swam faster. Another white beam shout out of nowhere. The Kraken screamed again with pain. For a second Kelsey almost felt bad for it... For only a second!"

The Kraken glared at them before vanishing into the deep depths of the ocean. Kelsey let out a huge sigh of relief. That's TWICE I've almost been killed in the past three hours! What next?!

"KELSEY!" A small voice cried. Kelsey looked up in surprise as a small figure flung itself at her.

"Emma!" Kelsey cried. Her cousin was hugging the life out of her. Kelsey hugged her back tightly," Oh thank goodness! Oh my God! Oh my Goaaah!" she cried. Kelsey had managed to get a full view of her cousin. Emma was smiling and happy and seemed unhurt, but something was severely wrong! Emma looked normal from the waist up, but where her legs were supposed to be a long elegant orange tail sprouted. Kelsey stared at it in shock, horror, and amazement

My parents are gonna kill me!
