Princess LaLaBlue—I strongly recommend seeing A Fish Tale. It's got Alan Rickman in it, who I LOVE! Netflix has a copy of it, if you're interested. Anyway, thanks for reviewing, and I hope you keep enjoying it!

greatbigsealover44—I worked very hard on it, and I'm so glad you enjoy it! Quick question…have you seen A Fish Tale?

Alicia—Guess what I almost referenced in this chapter? I couldn't bring myself to write the actual word down, so I had to come up with a child-friendly insult!

Chapter Four

Alicia followed Nigel to a large building that had a window view of the docks and the ocean. One window was open, and Nigel and Alicia perched on the ledge outside and gazed inside. Alicia's nose wrinkled in disdain…she wasn't a big fan of doctors of any kind or of their offices. This was a dentist's office. Everything was totally white. The only splashes of color came from a fish tank that was vibrant with life. A starfish that had grabbed onto the wall of the tank saw Nigel and grinned. "Hey, everyone, look who's here," he called out. "And he brought a friend!"

"Good morning, Peach!" Nigel smiled. "This is Alicia. She's new here."

"How'd you know that?" Alicia asked him, her eyes widening in surprise. She hadn't told him that she was new to Sydney…or Australia, for that matter.

"Old instinct," he shrugged. "Don't know where I get it from, honestly." He turned back to Peach. "Anyway, where's Doctor Fa—I mean, where's Doctor FFH?"

"FFH?" Alicia wondered.

"Foul Fowl Hater," Nigel explained, and Alicia cracked up.

"I think that he told the secretary that he's going out scuba diving. He won't be in for the rest of the morning."

"And you'll be gone before then, right Nigel?" A pretty blue fish hinted, her voice laced with concern as she swam up to join them.

"We'll be fine, won't we Alicia?" Nigel laughed. "That old-timer won't catch us."

"Hi, I'm Deb!" The blue fish giggled, hovering in the water. "And this is my sister, Flo!" She pointed a fin straight ahead at her reflection, and Alicia blinked once and nodded in recognition, remembering that Deb thought her reflection was another fish.

"Where is everyone else?" Nigel asked, peering inside. "I hoped that Gill would be up. Is it still too early?"

"I think it is," Peach admitted. "Why don't you drop by later and chat?"

"Won't we get in trouble?" Alicia brought up. "What if the dentist sees us."

"You should totally meet the guy," Nigel said sarcastically. "Just so you can hear him talk to me. 'Hey, what have I told you before? They're not your fish! They're MY fish, got it? Get out! Shoo! Go on before I call animal control!'" Alicia laughed so hard that she nearly lost her balance and fell off of the window sill.

"Well, okay then," she said as soon as she could breathe again. "I guess so. That is, if you don't mind my tagging along," she said shyly, looking at Nigel.

"Not at all," he said earnestly. "I'd like the company. And like I said, you need to meet the others and see the dumb dentist bloke. In the meantime, want a tour of the place? There are some sights that you should check out!"

"I'd love one," she said happily, and Nigel looked at Peach and Deb (and Flo). "See you all later, okay?"

"Sure thing, Alicia."

"Talk to you later."

"They're really nice, aren't they?" Alicia said to Nigel as they flew away. "How'd you meet up with them?"

"Well, like I may have said earlier, Gill was the first one of the gang that I met, and he introduced me to the others. He may not seem like the nicest guy to chat with, but he's a total softie. Just, uh, don't ask him about how he got his scar. He usually doesn't like bringing that up."

"Sure thing," Alicia said, mentally making a note of everything Nigel told her. "So, what's the first stop on our tour?"

"Well, this place might not be much during the day, but at night in the middle of the ocean, it's really something to see." Nigel tilted his head to the side. "Are you…you don't have any other plans for tonight, do you? Because if you don't, I know a great place to catch some delicious fish and really see the great spots out in the open—"

"I'd love to," she answered, pleased by the invitation. "But first, can we go look around the docks and grab a bite to eat? I'm a little hungry."

"Me too," Nigel grinned as they continued to fly away.

Review, please! :)

Good news, everyone! I'll be home from school early tomorrow, so you can expect an earlier update! But the bad news is…I have my toughest exams on Tuesday! Wish me luck!
