Sandrastar1: Thanks for reading!

Dory and her family was happily swimming around the tank. Dory smiled and babbled at the other fish. Other fish has been saying how cute she was when she talked to them. A female rainbowfish swam up to them.

"She's so adorable!"

Jenny and Charlie smiled. "Thank you," Jenny said.

The rainbowfish cooed to Dory. "You're so cute! Yes you are!" She tickled Dory.

Dory laughed. She swam closer to the rainbowfish. "What's her name?" She asked.

"Her name is Dory. She suffers from short term memory loss," Charlie said.

"My name is Lily. That's so sad that she suffers from it."

Jenny sighed. "Yeah. Her memory problem doesn't really bother her."

Dory yawned. She snuggled against her mother. Jenny stroked her. "It's time we go home. It's nap time for her."

"Okay. Bye guys!" She swam away from them.

Jenny and Charlie waved to her. Jenny picked up Dory. They all swam to their home.

Jenny tucked Dory in her crib. She kissed her affectionately. She then swam off to her husband. He was looking off in the distance. "Honey?"

Charlie turned to his wife. "Hi, Jenny."

"Charlie, are you okay?" She asked.

"I'm worried that Gilbert might come back. I'm trying to protect you and Dory. If he comes back, he might try to kill Dory."

Jenny grabbed Charlie's fin. "That's very sweet for protecting us, honey. Thank you." She kissed him.

Charlie smiled. "You're welcome, dear."

Gilbert swam around the tank. He was sad. He wanted to apologize to Jenny and Charlie for fishnapping Dory. That was very wrong of him. He even was planning to kill her. He regretted for what he did. He stopped when he saw a coral home. He sighed. He swam down to it.

Charlie looked around. His eyes widened when he saw Gilbert coming towards their home. He quickly shouted to his wife. "Jenny, get inside the house, now! Take Dory with you!"

Jenny saw Gilbert. She gasped. "Okay, Charlie." She swam to Dory's shell crib. She woke up when she felt her mother's fins on her. She quickly swam to her house.

Charlie glared at Gilbert. "What do you want? If your going to kill Dory then I'll fight you."

"Look, Charlie. I came here to apologize." Gilbert had innocent eyes, hoping that Charlie will believe him.

"Yeah, right! This is another one of your tricks! You're not gonna fool me this time!"

"Charlie, please listen to me. What I did was wrong. I'm very sorry for fishnapping your daughter. I was jealous. I wanted a friend," he explained in a nice voice.

Charlie believed him. He sighed. "I forgive you, Gilbert."

Gilbert smiled. "Friends?"

"Friends." They shook fins.

Jenny came out of her house with Dory in her fins. "I forgive you for what you did. Do you forgive him, Dory?"

Dory smiled and babbled. Gilbert smiled at Dory. Then he looked at Jenny and Charlie. "Can I hangout with you guys for a bit?"

"Sure!" Jenny said.

They all spent the afternoon with Gilbert. Gilbert was glad that he has friends. He never was mean to them ever again.
