Few Days Later

The Nelsons were preparing to leave Miami and go back to Clearwater. Shawl had told his parents about the dolphin he met and Hazel the new girl he met on that same day as well. The day before they were due to leave however, Shawl decided to visit the marine aquarium that Hazel had been from and say goodbye.

He cycled towards the aquarium following the directions Hazel had given him. He parked his bike behind an ally in the aquarium and awkwardly walked towards the door. He noticed the door was open and tiptoed slightly inside. He saw a sign on the door that said "No Entry" but he kept walking into an empty area full of containers and large glass windows where Dolphins were seen swimming. He leaned up towards the glass and noticed a large Bottlenose swimming up top. "Wow" he said taking it all in. "It's bigger than our one!"

He walked around before hearing someone from behind singing a little tune "I got the recipe and it's called Black Magic" the voice sang to herself. Shawl turned to run away only to bump into someone and fall down with a large container falling next to him with its contents spilling out. He got up and frantically helped the person gather up all fish and ice into the container. Once he got up and restrained himself after that he saw who he had bumped into. "Shawl?" Hazel asked half surprised half happy to see Shawl again. "Uh, hey Hazel" Shawl smiled. "Did you come all the way over here?" Hazel asked. "Uh yeah I did" Shawl said. She smile and then wrapped an arm around him in a hug "Welcome back" she said. "Y'know I actually came by to see the Dolphin that I found ye" Shawl said as they walked up the stairs. "Oh yeah, I remember it clearly." Hazel said as she dropped her container in with some other containers before they walked off again. "This is where we put our dolphin." Hazel said as she led Shawl to a pool with the dolphin that he found stranded on the beach. "Hazel, who is this?" asked a voice behind them. They turned around to find Hazel's father, a strict yet caring person Shawl could figure out by his facial expression. "Oh this is Shawl, he found this dolphin on that beach a few days ago remember?" Hazel smiled to her father. 'Uh hi how are you?" Shawl greeted holding out his hand. "I came to say hello to Hazel. We kinda went out for smoothies together that first day." Shawl explained. "Where are you from?" Hazel's father asked. "Clearwater. My family and I were taking a holiday here." Shawl. "Well, I'll lead you out so Shawl." Hazel said as they walked off.

"Well I came to say, that my family are heading back to Clearwater tomorrow, so I thought I would say goodbye." Shawl said to Hazel as they walked towards the exit behind the ally. "Oh that's too bad, but here, you can take this card, it has my number on it." Hazel said dishing the card out of her pocket. They walked to the back door and Hazel stood there as Shawl prepared to go out, she then stopped him saying "by the way", she then gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Hope to hear from you soon, take care kid." She smiled as she walked inside leaving a gobsmacked Shawl standing there, before he got on his bike and cycled home. If happiness was light, he probably wouldn't have been able to see anything.

"Big bro!" Abigail squeaked when her older brother walked into the hotel room that the family was staying at. "So son did you have a great cycle out there for yourself?" Hazel asked her son giving him a hug. "Yeah mom I did." Shawl smiled. "We packed all your things in your suitcase in case you were running late." Sawyer mentioned to him. "We got a long journey back to Clearwater, so we better get plenty of rest.' He said to the family.

The next day the family left Miami to return to Clearwater. Throughout the four hour long journey all Shawl could seem to think about while listening to his music was how attractive he was becoming to girls. "Is this going to be a thing with myself?" he thought to himself.

The next day

The Nelsons returned to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium after their holiday. Sawyer was as usual working with Winter and the other dolphins. Hazel was working in her office and Shawl worked in the kitchen with some of the other kitchen workers. Later that night Sawyer and Hazel said that Shawl could stay the night and watch Winter during the night shift. Hazel even whispered to Sawyer about another surprise she had in store. "Ooh looks nice." He giggled to Hazel as they walked out.

That night Shawl lay by Winter's pool with his feet sticking in the water. "Yano Winter, while I was away in Miami, I found a dolphin that was washed up to shore by a beach. I even saved that Dolphin and got help from a local marine aquarium out there." Winter made a tweety bird noise as if to say "Good Job!" Shawl stared up at the starry sky. He smiled to himself as he saw the stars before someone sneaked up and wrapped the arms around him in a hug, breaking him out of his looking of stars. He turned around and was shocked with who it was. "Sarah?" he asked surprised. "Wow fancy seeing you here!" he said getting up. "I know! Man you've gotten quite tall and muscular. Have you been working out?" She asked examining the muscles on his arms. "Uh yeah, just water sports." Shawl said. "So what are you up to here?" Sarah asked dreamily sitting herself beside the boy of her dreams. "My parents said I can spend the night here with Winter. You know her?" Shawl said showing Sarah the dolphin who was swimming underwater the pool before using her rostrum to touch Shawl's feet. She then used her rostrum on Sarah's feet. "That tickles" Sarah giggled. "Yeah but you can get used to it.' Shawl smiled. "So why are you here?" he asked her. "Your mom and dad arranged with my parents to have come here spend the night with you!" Sarah beamed as she rested her head on his shoulder smiling dreamily. Shawl felt uneasy with that. "Well do you want me to get you anything? I got a whole container full of snacks." "Sure okay" Sarah smiled as he got up and made his way to the container he had put out for the night. After a while, Shawl saw that Winter wanted to have some fun with the two of them together. So he thought of an idea. "Hey look up there!" he pointed to the roof of the building to Sarah. Sarah turned around before Shawl pushed her straight into Winter's pool and jumped in himself. Sarah resurfaced giggling. "What can I say, I'm a cheeky guy!" Shawl responded. They splashed each other about and even had Winter carry them by their feet on her rostrum. Eventually they both just held onto Winter before getting out and drying off. "Oh I forgot, I got you a little something while I was in Miami." Shawl said as he walked over to his bag and got out a small box and handed it to Sarah. "A present? For me?" Sarah asked amazed. "Yeah. Open it." Shawl suggested. She opened it up to reveal a rectangle shaped box with a beautiful necklace with a heart on it. "Oh my God, it's beautiful" Sarah said, tears developing in her eyes. 'Here, I'll put it on for you." Shawl said as he took the necklace and did just that. "It's beautiful, thanks Shawl you really are the best!" Sarah said as she wrapped her arms around Shawl in a hug. "Anything for you." He whispered to her ear.

And I'll stop right there. So Yeah I was hoping to make this chapter seem longer than how I normally write on fan fiction. And I did! 3 pages this took me to write!
