Finding Nemo

Danger of Avail

Chapter 2-Decision

"Daddy!" Nemo cried as he rushed past his father, "RUN!"

Marlin turned to go after Nemo but realized that Dory still needed help. He swam over as fast as he could and grabbed her fin, and saw Bruce was coming up very fast. Marlin screamed, "Swim away fast, Dory!" and started to pull Dory with him.

They were luck to at least get to the reef, but Marling knew he couldn't reach the anemone in time, and mentioned this to Dory. "My cave is near here... I think?"

Now was not the time for her memory to fail, in Marlin's opinion. He knew where it was, at least, and swam for it. They barely made it, too. "I wonder how Nemo is?" Marlin said.

This was always Dory's cue to assure Marlin that everything was going to be just fine. "I'm sure he made it back to the anemone, Marlin!" she said. They looked out the opening to the cave, and saw Bruce growling and sniffing about.

"How long until he leaves, do you think?" Marlin asked.

His question was answered when Bruce regained his composure and looked around, then swam off. Marlin sighed in relief. That was too close for comfort, in Marlin's opinion. He swam out and said good-bye to Dory, and swam off to his anemone. Nemo was waiting patiently for his father's return, and when Marlin appeared, he brightened up and made sure Marlin was okay.

"Dad! You're okay, what happened?" Nemo asked. But the angry look on marlin's face told Nemo it was time for quiet and to listen to Marlin.

"Now, Nemo, I understand it was just an accident, but I just can't let that happen to you again. From now on, I pick you up and drop you off from school, and we go straight home and stay there, understood?" Marlin said in a stern tone.

Nemo knew better than to talk back to his father, especially after his abduction, but this was just too far, Nemo put his angry face on. "No, Dad! I can't just give up my life because you are unsure of yourself! It's not fair!"

Marlin shushed Nemo, and said: "You aren't leaving this anemone and that's FINAL!" and swam out to talk to Dory.
