Chapter 4

Get to Work!

The sun shone on the earth again. The sea reflected the sun, made the light brighter. The sea was so quiet, which meant that there was no activity, since the residence were still resting. But if you take a closer look, you would see a tail of a fish and water splashing. That tail jumped over in a high speed towards the beach where you can see 2 little kids sleeping with a peace faces. The little cute girl, Angel seems to aware to the sound of the splashing water. She glared awhile at the sea, but closed her eyes again since she felt sleepy. But the one who made the water splashing all over, doesn't give that girl a chance to sleep again. The tail got closer and then the body appeared... Walrus! No, not walrus, but a mermaid named Walrus.

" Mornin'!" said Walrus happily, but neither Angel nor Gazzy woke up. Walrus seemed impatient. " MORNINGGGGG!" she shouted. Angel noticed it and sat, " Ugh, what's your problem..." she rubbed her sleepy eyes. "It's already morning! We gotta go to do our work!" said Walrus. " Uh...work..." Angel still rubbed her eyes when she stopped her activity and looked at Walrus with opened eyes. " What? No, I forgot it!" shouted Angel. She looked at Gazzy. Gazzy didn't even open his eyes once although Walrus has made such a noise!

" Gazzy, Gazzy, wake up!" Angel tried to make Gazzy awake. She shook Gazzy's body. " Uhm... " finally, Gazzy gave a respond. " Gazzy, Gazzy! Wake up right now, please! " Angel shouted, " We must get into our jobs now." Gazzy finally opened his blue eyes, " Huh? Where is my pizza?" Angel looked at him, " What? Pizza?" Gazzy finally sat and rubbed his eyes, " Ugh, Angel... you just... interrupted me to eat the pizza... Now it's gone." Angel answered, " It's only in your dream, hurry up and get ready! Me and Walrus are going to dive in right now, okay?" Gazzy nodded.

They gathered at the seashore (because Walrus is in the water area at the seashore).

" So Gazzy, your task is to prepare our energy-stock (read : food) and to take care of 3 cute baby turtles. Make sure to do it well, or else..." Walrus explained Gazzy's task with a scary face that could make you have a goosebumps!

" Or else...?" asked Gazzy.

" Well, I have ever heard a rumor about someone who wasn't able to fulfil his/her duty that Mr. Sheegur gave, and something horrible happened to that person. It's so horrible, enough to make you don't want to hear it," Walrus continued, " That's why, work seriously!" Then, Walrus dived in the sea.

" See you soon," Angel followed Walrus, leaving Gazzy alone.

Gazzy P.O.V

Just now... Walrus said some scary things to me! And it doesn't suit her at all! So she can say scary things to... and is it about my job? Ugh... I'll be careful, I'll try... I hope I can do it well!

And just now, we were talking about Mr. Sheegur... and now... or, am I imagining things? I saw Mr. Sheegur coming towards me! Ah, he landed beside me.

" Ehm... Gazzy," said Mr. Sheegur.

...something horrible happened to that person...

"Hello, Gazzy?" Mr. Sheegur repeated his sentence.

...because that person was unable to fulfil the duty...

"GAZZY!" Mr. Sheegur shouted in front of me, which made me realized from my own world, where Walrus' stories kept repeating in my mind.

" Y-y-yes, Mr. Sheegur? What's..wrong?" I answered him quickly, I don't want him to have me working for him forever! (*note : this is what popped in Gazzy's mind when he heard about something horrible)

" Ehm, this is Mrs. Fifu," Mr. Sheegur pointed a big enough turtle beside him, " And they are Mrs. Fifu's children, so now, Mrs. Fifu is going to tell you about your job. I gotta go to Cocoanut, Russy and Angie might have arrived there as well."

And there he goes again... he went away, stopped by, and goes by again. Ow, geez. Anyway, my job is to take care of the babies, right? It must be pretty easy, I might be able to hunt for meat, not just fishes.

" Ehm, good morning, son," said Mrs. Fifu. I bowed to her, " Morning Ma'am. I'm Gazzy, in charge of taking care your cute babies." Formalities... formalities...

"Now, I will introduce my children. The oldest one, Terra, a girl," Mrs. Fifu pointed a small turtle with a pink ribbon, " Then the middle child, a boy, Giga," she pointed a turtle without any accessories, " And the last one is also a boy, Mega," she pointed a turtle with blue ribbon,"They will be on your hands temporary, please take them to the southern seashore tomorrow in the morning. Thanks," she bowed to me, and I bowed back to her... for formality only. I couldn't be ignorant here, or else... Mr. Sheegur! Brrr...

Mrs. Fifu went away, leaving me with her children. It won't be a hard job. I stared at those turtles, who replied my stare quickly. I smiled. They smirked...

Angel P.O.V

And now Walrus and I have arrived at the Cocoanut land. We were waiting for Mr. Sheegur to come and give us some good explain about our job. I was wondering... will Gazzy be alright?

And there he came, Mr. Sheegur. He landed safely on the big coconut tree or Cocoanut.

" Hello, Russy and Angie! How d'ya do?" asked Mr. Sheegur.

" Well, I'm fine, Shee," answered Walrus. I looked at her, "Uhm, Shee?" She has never called Mr. Sheegur like that before. "Oopsie..." Walrus laughed.

" So, you are in charge of the "Salmons Survey!" mission, right?" asked Mr. Sheegur. Me and Walrus nodded. " Okie-dokie... Okay, so, Superior Demian, the salmons captain, appear!" And SPLASH! The sound of the splashing water appeared along with the maker too, Senior Demian. I also saw 2 other salmons following him. I walked again so I could be at the closest distance with them. Walrus swam closer to them, too.

" Greetings," said Senior Demian, " my name is Demian and I am the captain of the salmons. On my right side, you can see my 'right hand' or the one that replace me each time I am unable to do something, Gwennille, and on my left side, you can see my secretary or our advisor, Sumitha." Both Gwennille and Sumitha bowed to us. I replied their bows, and Walrus also followed me.

" So, you must be Russy and Angie, right?" asked Demian.

"Uhm..." I was hesitant to deny it-they were right, since Mr. Sheegur called us that way, but in other side...

"Our real names are Walrus and Angel, Sir," said Walrus calmly. She smiled at me. Oh, she's got guts to talk back against the client... Isn't she afraid if something bad would happen to her if she made the client angry and then Mr. Sheegur will do something terrible?

"Oh, my apology. So, both of you... please take these," Demian handed a round small device and a rectangle device to us. I decided to take the rectangle one, while Walrus took the round one.

" So, let me explain to you all...eh-ehm," Demian coughed, " The round one is used to count the salmons who passed by the main road, the most common road in this sea, you have to stay in an exact point, where Mr. Sheegur will direct you there. Each time there's a salmon passed by, click this red button on its surface. And for this rectangle one, there are 2 buttons, one on the left and one on the right, isn't it correct?" I nodded. " Each time there's a salmon who dropped by, stop them and ask them questions : 'Will you agree if we have a trip to somewhere else in a near time?' If the salmon agreed, click the right button, and the otherwise. Understand?" Me and Walrus nodded back.

" Any question?" asked Demian. I encouraged myself to ask, " What should we do if the salmon doesn't want to stop?" Demian remained silent for a bit. " Well, then show this," and he handed me a big-red-salmon-pin. " It's a symbol that I entrusted this to you. With that, the salmons should be obedient to you. Is that all?" We nodded back.

" Okay then, we'll leave this to you. Please give the devices back tomorrow morning at Cocoanut to Sumitha. Don't be afraid, just take it easy, girls," said Demian before he and his co-workers dived into the sea again. Well, that's easy for you to say that... but...

" Okay, Angel, let's start our job as well," Walrus grabbed my hands. I smiled and nodded. " Okay then, Shee-ehm... Mr. Sheegur, please guide us to our duty point." Mr. Sheegur also flew, " Okay, the Salmon-Surveys-Team, depart!"

Gazzy P.O.V

Maybe it was just my imagination, that the turtle-siblings smirked. They were a very obedient kids and they didn't start any trouble until this time. But in case something happens, I think I'll only catch some fishes, I'll not try to hunt for animals...

" Hey, turtle-siblings!" and they looked at me, " What do you want to eat?"

" We have our food from mother for this one day," they answered nicely.

" Oh, that's nice, then! I'll search for some fishes for our lunch break on that seashore. Do you also want to join me?" I asked them properly, besides, the distance between that shore with our place right now is not very far.

" We'll stay here, brother," they answered again. What a nice and obedient turtle-siblings. I decided to leave them in order to prepare me and Angel's lunch. (Walrus said that she will eat her lunch in the sea...I wonder what will she eat)

But I feel... bad feelings as I leave the turtle-siblings, or is it just my imagination?

Angel P.O.V

Everything went nice and smoothly up until now. Walrus is also doing well in clicking the button each time there's a salmon passed by, and the salmons that have passed by were all obedient and they answered my questions properly. This is actually an easy job, if I think about it carefully.

When I think so... suddenly, there are many salmons passed by at once. They passed in a full speed and there are so...too many of them to count! I looked at Walrus. Seems she's confused in counting them, so she clicked the buttons many times, and then stopped again, confused, clicked, oh my... I walked closer to the road so I can talk to the salmons.

" Excuse me, salmons..." I pointed the pin that the captain gave to me, " Salmons Surveys program, would you like to-"

" Hey little girl, we have no time to stop by right now. It's a running competition and about 50% salmons joined this program, see ya," one salmon interrupted. I am now terribly confused and afraid if I can't do this well. This job isn't easy at all!

I still tried and pointed the pin as high as I can, and shouted "SALMON SURVEY!" as loud as I can. Now I could see some salmons that were left behind. They looked at me. All of them are panting.

" You..grabbed that...pin...who are you...and what...do you...want?" A salmon spoke, and the other salmons also looked at me. They stopped! Yay, at least it's not about 50% salmons that I missed. Walrus also started to count and clicking the buttons.

I started to ask them properly, and they answered voluntary.

" Thanks for answering my questions," I said, " So far, is it really true that 50% of salmons joined this program?"

One of them answered, " Not 50% of salmons, but 50% of male salmons above the age 16 according to the salmons aging system. Good luck, there are still many salmons, maybe." And then they left.

"Uhmm...many...more?" I looked at Walrus. She nodded, " Yeah, I saw many salmons in this sea." Well, not that...but, I'm tired just after doing this, " Uhm, until when...when will we finish this survey?" Walrus was thinking for awhile, " Maybe until tonight?" She smiled.

" How could you say that with smiling..." She smiled again, " Hehe, sorry. How if we change our positions after lunch?"

" Uh well, maybe after lunch I will have enough energy. So, maybe when I am tired after lunch?" I asked her back. She nodded, " Okay, and then I'll take your turn until dinner time. After that, we'll go to sleep and tomorrow morning..."

" We'll give the devices to Sumitha at Cocoanut. Both of us," I clarified it. " Well, if you are tired, it's okay if you leave that to me," Walrus answered.

" Ah, here, a couple of salmons!" I smiled when I saw a couple of salmons crossed by. At least, not a group of them with full speed.

" Excuse me, do you agree or not if the salmons have a trip in some time near by?" I asked them. They stopped by and looked each others.

" Agree." " Disagree." Wow, they answered at the same time, but... they said the exact different answers. Before I clicked it, suddenly they shouted at me, " WAIT!"

" How dare you to say diasgree?" the male one asked.

" Well, and how did you say agree?" the female one answered.

" You little moron! If I say agree, then you must say agree, too!"

" What? Not fair, you don't have to do all the chores while I have to! And you know what, if we have a trip, then after we are home, I must do double of my usual chores!"

" Hmph, what a nice reason! Do you think it's not important for us to have a fun once in a time?"

"Umh... " I tried to interrupt them.

" QUIET, little girl!" they shouted back at me. "O..okay..." I couldn't do anything except being quiet. Thank goodness that the road is not crowded at this time.

Gazzy P.O.V

I went back to that baby turtles' place after catching some fishes enough for lunch and also dinner if needed. When I went there, I didn't see the sight of any turtles at all! Where are Terra, Giga, and Mega?

Oops, I saw a turtle behind that rock over there... Giga! I've got ya! I ran quickly to him when I saw Terra in front of me and Mega at the opposite direction from Giga. Giga and Mega started to walk to make the distance far. But Terra isn't moving. She only stares at me.

" Uhm..Terra, can you please advice your brothers to not be naughty and help me to catch them?"

She remained quiet. She glared at me. " Stuu-piddd."

" What the...?"

" Stuuu-ppiiiidddd," she repeated once again.

" You won't get away with this, y'know?" I shouted at her as I took her in my arms and started to run after Giga and Mega. I finally caught all of them, although it's exhausting since they are in totally different directions.

" I..will collect some twigs around here so I can eat lunch and dinner. Don't dare to run away again, understand?" I pointed their faces. They bowed regretfully. I smiled. This way, they wouldn't dare to oppose me again. I tried to collect the twigs as soon as I can. After this, maybe I'll play with the turtles. They might be bored to wait for me, that was why they did that, maybe. Yeah, it gotta be like that!

I ran quickly to the place where I left them." Terra, Giga, Mega-!" I shouted as I run, " I'll accompany you play after this, wait for me!" I finally arrived!

" Eh... Terra?" I put the twigs down. Where are they? " Giga... Mega?" I tried to look for them at the same places where I found them, but they aren't there. They are gone. It couldn't be... something eaten them? No way... they are just little turtles.

"Awww!" Suddenly, I felt like there is something that bit my leg. I tried to struggle, I tried to shake- whatever-it-is off. When I looked down... Terra?

She freed her teeth from my leg and started to run. Well, but no way that turtle is faster than me! " You can't get away with me Terra... I am now pissed off." I prepared to run after her, but I led her make some distance from me, first.

" Stupid, stupid, stupid!" I heard Mega's voice behind me.

" Not you! I am really pissed now... you picked a wrong time to deal with me!" I turned back, I am glaring at Mega now as he started to run away, too.

" Hey, you!" Argh, now what... Giga?

I saw Giga on my right side, with distance apart. Many crabs are passing him by.

" Hey you, if you are a good baby sitter, then you would take me first, take me away from these crabs, won't ya?" I sighed, while Terra and Mega laughed after me. I'll show them... when I caught them later... Grrr...

Walrus P.O.V

Finally, our jobs have done~ It's night now! But I am still at the seashore, to hear Gazzy's stories and to watch Angel who is watching the stars now.

" So you know what? These turtles are actually wild! Oh my, you don't know how troubled I was... Luckily, they are now sleeping! Oh my, you know..." and here it goes, Gazzy kept talking about the turtle siblings' mischievus deeds. I laughed as he fell into their traps. Gazzy has become their toy, actually, oh my...

As I am listening to Gazzy's story, I kept looking at Angel, my new friend. She laughed when she heard Gazzy's stories too. Without knowing it... my right thumb suddenly moved-just exactly as when I did my job! Oh my, is it just me? I guess it's a work fatigue. But just then... I saw Angel did the same too! She also didn't realized it... it must have been a work fatigue, then...

" Okay, I think that's all, phew, I am so relieved knowing that I'll be free tomorrow," Gazzy ended his story and stood. He walked to the beach.

" I guess I should go to sleep too," Angel followed Gazzy, " See you tomorrow, Walrus."

" See you, Angel," and I also dived into the sea again.

Tomorrow we will give back the devices to Demian and everything will be over. Mr. Sheegur would be... hey wait, where is Mr. Sheegur? I haven't seen him again since this morning. And what's this feelings I felt? Something will happen tomorrow?

To be continued...
