Dolphin Tale 2

chapter 3.

Hi guys i'm back with chapter 3. This chapter will focus on every character i can try to think of from the movie.

Movie SCENE

Sawyer and his Mum Lorraine walked through the halls of the gloomy looking VA Hospital.

He had arrived home a few days ago to find out that his cousin Kyle was injured in an explosion during his serving in the army and his mother and aunt shredded tears of joy at the fact that Kyle was coming back. But he ditched them to go to the VA hospital. Sawyer and Lorraine walked into an office where they found Kyle in a wheelchair and what Sawyer would have thought was a crazy man banging a leg shaped piece of metal of the ground. Kyle took him out to comfort him and after he had gone Sawyer saw some prothestic wearing men playing basketball and seemed fairly impress with the way there prothestics worked. So he walked over to McCarthy who was working with Kyle earlier on "Excuse me, can i ask you a really weird question?" Sawyer began to him...

MOVIE SCENE

Hazel was once again in her office trying hard not to hope the baby would start coming. She looked around and in a small cabinet under her desk found some photo albums. She took out a few and started to look through them. There were some of her and her mother before she had died. Seeing these made Hazel cry a little. In fact it had made her cry alot since both her parents had died now. "Mom i miss you so much!" She cried. "I wish you would have met Sawyer you would have loved him, and our children" she said between tears. She finally stopped and continued looking through the albums. She smiled after coming across photos of her and Sawyer when they got married. She smiled to herself as she had a flashback to where they were dancing on the dance floor holding each other close with her arms around her neck and his arms around her waist. Staring eye to eye at each other they smiled and before she knew Hazel found herself leaning forward. He was doing the same and they became lost in a passionate, loving kiss. She smiled to herself as she found photos of when Shawl was a baby. She couldn't believe he was almost 11 now and that a new Nelson was on the way.

Meanwhile Sawyer was walking to his car to get something when he notice Shawl out by the houseboat Hazel's father and grandfather had owned. The family were allowed have it after Clay died. Smiling to himself he walked over to him. "Everything OK kid?" he asked. "Oh i'm fine Dad, it's just i've been wondering about how our family is so connected to marine biology and dolphins and other water related things!" Shawl responded. "Oh!" Sawyer said. "Well i wasn't very smart about this stuff either until i met Winter and your mom!" Sawyer said. "What do you mean about that you weren't very smart about this?" Shawl asked his dad through a sense of puzzlement in his eyes. "Well when i was your age, i did very badly in school. Failed almost everything. But i was on my way to summer school one bright morning when a fisherman stopped me and asked to help. I was shocked to see he had found a dolphin washed up ashore by the beach. He called for the Clearwater Marine Hospital and then while he did that, i cut the ropes off of the dolphin and the crab trap that had been trapped in her tail. Some time later the hospital came and your mother walked up to me and awkwardly asked if i had single handly cut the rope. Then the next day i sneaked into the marine hospital only to come in contact with a crazy pelican who had managed to sneak into the hospital. Then i heard humming and tried to make a break for it but ran right into your mom. Then the pelican start wrecking havoc but we got him away. Your mom then noticed that i was the boy from the beach. So after she showed me Winter's condition and got me away from her dad, i ran home and started researching dolphins online. Sparked my whole interest in Dolphins." Sawyer explained. Shawl took all that information in and when he did finally managed to speak again. "But what about that pelican? What happened to him after all of that?" "Oh Rufus? Yeah a year after everything had happened he flew away and wasn't seen again for a long time. He never flew back here" Sawyer said.

Back in her office Hazel was looking through the second photo album. It contained life of her as a child with her father and grandfather on the houseboat. The photos showed them sailing across coastal waters of the United States. She smiled at another photo showing her selling her homemade lemonade icicle sticks to people in a lemonade stand. She used to love making them for people. She remembered her grandfather saying "Nothing goes down with Crappy News like one of my granddaughter's lemonade icicles." "Days like these always make me smile any way.. now that i have a husband son and future son or daughter" Hazel said to herself. She glanced down at her stomach and rubbed it then said "If your a girl then you'll make me happy i'm sure!"

And that's all for now keep reading and reviewing! Thanks.
