Chapter 7: Humans
Hello guys! I got another chapter right here for you guys! So just to let you know, I'll be starting school tomorrow, so I'm not sure if I'm going to update everyday. I'll just update every other day. So in the last chapter, Dory had a nightmare. In this chapter, Dory will be learning about humans.
The humans was always looking at the fish in the MLI. The way that humans look at Dory made her feel uncomfortable. She hid in her tube. Her parents noticed Dory hiding. They swam over to their daughter.
"Dory, why are you hiding?" Charlie said, curiously.
Dory quickly forgot. Then she saw the humans and she remembered. "The humans were looking at me."
Dory's parents looked up and saw the humans gazing down at them. "They just want to see us, honey," Jenny said quietly.
"Why?" Dory asked.
"Because, they think we look interesting," Charlie explained.
Dory giggled. "I'm really cute."
Jenny chuckled lovingly. "Yes, you certainly are, sweetie."
Dory gazed up and noticed a human holding up a camera. It took a picture of Dory and her parents. Dory saw the flash and yelped, hiding back in her tube.
"What was that?" Dory questioned.
"That's a camera, Dory," Charlie said to his curious daughter. "They use it to take pictures."
"Oh, okay," Dory said, understanding a bit.
"Mommy, are humans bad?" Dory questioned.
"Some of them are. Have you ever wonder where your aunts and uncles are?" Jenny asked, looking at her daughter.
"Oh, um, I can't remember," Dory said.
"It's okay, honey," Jenny said, comforting her.
Dory smiled, waiting for her mother to talk more.
"When I was an egg, the humans had to take me away to another place to hatch, with some of my siblings. When I hatched, the humans took me back to the tank where I once lived. Then after a day or so, the humans took me to this tank, the one where we live now," Jenny explained carefully to her interested daughter.
"Wow," Dory said, interested in every detail her mother said.
"So yeah those are the bad humans. They took me away from your aunts and uncles," Jenny said, a little sad that the humans had to take her away from her sibilngs.
"Some humans can be good, too," Charlie added. "Do you know where I got the name Kelpcake from?" Charlie looked at his daughter.
"From the humans?" Dory guessed.
"Yep! Well partly. You loved to play in the kelp when you was a newborn. You still love playing in the kelp now. The humans once talked about cupcakes. So I putted kelp and cupcake together, and that created Kelpcake," Charlie explained.
"Awesome! I love the name Kelpcake!" Dory exclaimed, smiling at her father.
Charlie chuckled. "You're my little Kelpcake," he said, kissing his daughter.
Dory giggled as he kissed her. She hugged him. Charlie smiled, hugging his baby girl.
Jenny smiled at the cuteness between the two.
Dory and Charlie separated from the hug. Dory had another question. "Were you ever scared of humans?"
"Not really," Jenny said. "The humans are just looking at us, so there is no reason to be scared. Besides, we are so busy taking care of you."
"Okay I understand now. For now on, I'll not be scared of humans, unless they're bad."
"That's my girl!" Charlie exclaimed.
Another human looked down at Dory and pointed at her. Dory noticed, but she wasn't scared anymore. Dory was a little comfortable of humans now.
