Minion opened his eyes, now that he was able to breathe again, and looked around the shallow pool. 'But, I thought...' He then realized that he was by a fountain this whole time.

'Well, that's embarrassing,' thought Minion. But it didn't really matter. He swam up to the surface, and smiled at his friends.

Is it pathetic to say I teared up when Minion was 'dying'? (even though I knew he was going to live, stupid spoiler commercials) Lol, I love that fish :)
