Dolphin Tale 2

A New chapter! Well I have decided to try and get into the habit of updating my fanfictions every so often. And of all my stories I have written here, I think I prefer this one :) Enjoy. So I want to try and make this chapter seem longer than my other chapters and also I have a little surprise in store, Shawl in this part of story is becoming a heartthrob with girls. xD Enjoy! Plus this chapter echoes a few moments from the first movie!

A Month later

The Nelsons were taking a holiday to Miami for 2 weeks. They were staying in a hotel just about close to a beautiful beach. Shawl was always swimming, surfing and even fly boarding in the water when he was at this beach. Not only was he into Marine biology like his parents but he did love water sports as well.

One day he was swimming in the ocean at the beach, the clear water and sunny weather giving him a nice tan color. When he got to shore, he wrapped a towel around his head and left it around his neck as he stood on the sand letting his chest dry out. However his widened as he looked to his right hand side and saw something. It looked like a dolphin, he got closer to it, and it WAS a dolphin. "Wow." He said in amazement to himself as he stared down at it. It was a large bottlenose dolphin, he saw a tangled net trapped under its tail and up to the fins. He fetched a pocketknife from his pocket and attempted to carefully cut the net from the tail hoping not to injure the dolphin in any way. "Come on mom this is where all those surgery practices come handy." He whispered to himself as he carefully sliced the nets. Once he had gotten the nets cut off he, ran and fetched his bag and got his cell phone out to call for help. Patting the dolphin's skin in one hand and holding the phone to his ear in another, he waited patiently. "Come on pick up," he said to himself. "Uh hi can I get a local marine aquarium in Miami out here? This is an emergency." Shawl said when someone picked up. "Yes we will send someone out to you. Where are you calling from?" the speaker asked. "Uh a beach just by the Harrison Hotel" Shawl said.

10 minutes later, an ambulance parked up and Shawl who had changed from his swimming shorts to his normal shorts and a sleeveless top was still staying by the Dolphin's side. A man got out and opened up the back and his team came out carrying stretchers and blankets. One of them was a young girl about Shawl's age. She had light mocha skin and blondish hair. She walked over to the Dolphin and Shawl "Did you cut the net free?" she asked surprise. "Oh, uh, yeah." Shawl smiled. "Wow, I'm impressed. Do you do anything like this?" the girl asked. "Well yeah my parents own an aquarium in Clearwater." Shawl said. "That's where I am from"

"It's a female, I think." One of the workers said as they examined the dolphin. "She's very shaky" a male worker added his input. Shawl watched them work before quietly turning away when they lifted the dolphin into their van. However he was stopped by the girl. 'My dad says I can take a few hours off after this. So you wanna go grab a drink or something?" she asked. "Woah" Shawl thought to himself. He didn't he was that good looking. "Sure okay." He smiled back. "Oh I'm Hazel by the way." She said gazing at him as he walked off. "Oh uh well my name is Shawl." Shawl replied as he walked off with his bag. Hazel watched him get on his bike and cycle to the hotel and then since she was being left off she watched her father's van drive off. 'Shawl" she whispered to herself.

"You know, my mother's name is Hazel as well." Shawl said to Hazel as they sat down with smoothies at a local smoothie place. "Oh really?" Hazel smiled. "Yeah, she said she was named after the eye color." Shawl said. "In fact like me, she has practically lived every day of her life in the fields of marine biology. She grew up with her father and grandfather in a house boat on the dock next to our aquarium in Clearwater." "Seems nice." Hazel replied to him. "My mom abandoned us a few years ago." She said sipping her smoothie. "Tough break, my father went through that hardship as well, he was abandoned by his father. He said that he never called, never wrote at all." "My mother lost her mother when she was 7, so I only have one grandparent per parent." How did you grow up in Marine biology?" she asked him. "Well practically my mom was given ownership of the aquarium and my dad works with dolphins, including one called Winter. She lost her tail in a crab trap when my father caught her off the coast of a beach and since then he has become an expert in the fields of marine life and biology. I always help out during summer vacations and other school holidays. Do you do any of that yourself?" he asked Hazel. "Yea, I love working with dolphins, they're all really unique and beautiful. I even swim with them sometimes." "Really nice. I always swim with dolphins in our aquarium. My parents even told me that when they were my age they always swam with Winter. Even if they were not supposed to! She's been a real tourism attraction over the years at our aquarium. You should definitely come by some day." Shawl smiled. "Yeah I have heard of the place. It's like the top most visited aquarium in the state." Hazel said.

When Shawl later got back to his hotel he saw his parents and little sister in the lobby. They were presumably dressed to go out for the night, "Hey son, we're going out tonight and we want you to take care of Abbie for us tonight." "Sure okay" Shawl said as he took his little sister up. "Wow you're getting heavy" he said as he walked off, "Bye guys." He turned to wave goodbye to his parents. When he got to their room he lay Abigail in her crib before walking to the restroom. When he walked in, he saw his own appearance in the mirror, he was starting to buff a little. "Wow." He said to himself as he looked on examining his arms and body in the mirror.

Sawyer and Hazel were eating at a local restaurant that evening. "I couldn't help but notice that Shawl's arms are getting more muscular." Hazel said to her husband. "Yeah looks pretty cool doesn't it?" Sawyer replied. "I think he could turn into some kind of teenage heartthrob as he gets older." Hazel said. "Sure that's genetic, my cousin Kyle was quite a heartthrob when he was a teen." Sawyer agreed, making his wife giggle a little. 'All that swimming probably made him more complex." She agreed.

Shawl stood in front of his mirror applying gel to his hair. It worked well for him in so many ways. "Not bad." He said to himself "I have so many looks!" He gave his little sister a bottle before laying down and watching TV before his parents returned home later night.
