Okay, thanks to all who reviewed, and cartoon kid, you don't have to pay to
upload stories, upload away!
If any of you out there are any good at drawing the nemo gang, I wondered
if you could draw me a pic of Gill and Dory in their clamshell. ^_^ if you
do I shall upload faster.

Gill floated there for a second, unsure of what to say or do. "We. you. we
were in love, a long time ago, we lived in this clamshell. A leopard shark
tried to attack us one night and you got hit on the head, that's what
caused your short-term memory." He let his head hang with unhappiness. "But
you can't remember me so."
He started to swim away, But Dory, being too kind to let any creature be
unhappy, swam after him.
"Look Phil,"
"Gill."
"Gill, I may not be able to remember you exactly, but I get the feeling
you're important, there's something inside of me that's waving a lil' red
flag and saying I mustn't let you go." Dory began to ramble, Gill sighed
and looked up, only to notice that Marlin had frozen, his mouth open in an
O of terror.
"What's up with clown-boy?" he asked, raising one eyebrow suspiciously.
Dory turned around, "Hey Marlin! What're you doing out here?" her short-
term memory had obviously just kicked in.
Marlin raised one fin, pointing at the water behind Dory and Gill. Gill
slowly turned.
A leopard shark was floating there, a huge grin on its toothy face.
Dory screamed, but Gill grabbed her and forced her mouth closed. "Don't
make a sound, and don't move. It can't see you if you don't move." He
hissed. Dory made a small squeak of protest against his fin. "Trust me, I
won't lose you again."
Marlin gulped. "Gill, how do we make it leave?" he whispered.
Gill's brow creased with thought, only one option seemed viable. With one
move he shot forward past the shark's nose. "C'mon bozo, come and eat me!"
he called, darting away quickly.
"Hey look, a shark!" Dory said brightly.
Marlin snatched Dory's fin in his, tugging her back to the safety of the
anemone.
"Wait, what about the angelfish?" Dory asked, once again her mind was
telling her he was important, that she shouldn't let him get hurt.
"If he wants to get eaten that's up to him, I'm not interested!" Marlin
replied as they finally landed in the anemone.
They waited for any sound.
None came. It seemed Gill's efforts had led the shark away. Sadly it Gill
had disappeared along with the shark.

Dory blinked, staring out into the open sea. "He's gone." She said, for
want of better words.
Marlin joined her above the anemone, thought for a moment, then rested his
fin on her scarred one. "Dory, did you really remember him?" he questioned,
wondering if he had been some random insane fish. Or an important key to
Dory's past.
"I'm not sure." Dory suddenly remembered what marlin had said in the heat
of the fight. "Marlin, do you really love me?"
Marlin froze, for a whole two seconds his heart stopped beating, but he
swallowed any fear that had lodged itself in his throat, and spoke what was
within his heart.
"I do. I'm not sure why because let's face it you're nuts, but Nemo really
likes you and if I'm honest, I wouldn't know what to do without you around,
I like correcting you all the time, I like telling you you're insane even
though I know you're not, I like.. oh let's just say I like everything
about you," he took a deep breath of water. "So yes Dory, for whatever
bizarre reason that caused it, I love you." he looked up at her pretty,
blue face. "Do you feel the same?"
Dory giggled, forgetting in an instant the Moorish idol's brave deed.
(She's not selfish, just forgetful.) She smiled mischievously at Marlin,
then dove into the anemone. "Catch me and you'll find out!"
Marlin looked surprised for a moment then caught the meaning behind Dory's
words and dove in after her.
