When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Chapter 1: Meet Oscar and Lenny
In the Atlantic Ocean, a worm was tangled on a fishing hook and holding his breath. He was completely terrified that it was now about to be bait, but he tried not to panic since there wasn't anybody around to eat him.
"Don't panic. Don't panic. Worms just like me end up in situations like this one." the worm thought to himself. "They end up on hooks and get eaten by fish, but not all of them do. There aren't any fish. Not a single fish is around here. Then the ones who throw worms who don't end up in the ocean as bait for the fish will pull them back up to the surface so they can breathe again and release them. Just don't panic. Nobody's gonna eat me. I'm sure of it. I'm absolutely sure."
Suddenly, the worm felt a tiny ripple in the water. He began looking around to see if anybody was really there just as he began to feel even more terrified, and then he quickly felt another tiny ripple in the water. He slowly turned his head around to see who it really was.
The worm saw a fish swimming towards him. However, when the fish swam closer and closer to him, it quickly turned out that it wasn't a fish at all, but a shark. The worm quickly discovers that the fish that is swimming towards him is actually a shark, and he becomes even more terrified than before.
"Oh, no! It's a shark, and being eaten by a shark is even worse than being eaten by a fish!" the worm thought to himself. "Time to panic!"
The worm began muffled screaming just as the shark came closer to him and was seemingly about to him just as he opened his mouth. However, the shark didn't eat the worm and instead warmly greeted him with a smile. He is a great white shark, and his name is Lenny Lino. While the other sharks would usually hunt and kill their prey, Lenny is a friendly and compassionate shark who wouldn't do anything to hunt and kill anybody.
"Hello, there, little guy. My name is Lenny." Lenny greeted. The worm stared at Lenny for a moment and he quickly fainted. "Oh, little buddy, did I scare ya? Did I frightened ya 'cause I'm a great white shark? I'm so sorry about that. I won't eat ya, little buddy, I promise. Wake up. Wake up."
Lenny held the worm gently in his fins, and the worm quickly regained consciousness just as he stared at Lenny again for a moment. Then, upon seeing that Lenny hasn't eaten him and he's a friendly shark who wouldn't eat anybody, he became completely relieved and stopped feeling very terrified, and he began smiling at Lenny once he realized that he is one of those sharks who are gentle and harmless.
"Don't worry, I'm gonna help you out." said Lenny. "I'm gonna get you out of that hook in a jiffy." He began helping the worm to be untangled from the hook. "You keep holding your breath, little wormy, and you'll be free immediately."
"Yo, Lenny! Let's go! C'mon!" somebody's voice called out.
"Uh…I'm coming, Frankie. Just hold on a minute!" Lenny called out just as he continued with helping the worm to get untangled from the hook.
"Well, make it fast. Move it. C'mon. Pop's waiting." Frankie called out.
"Here we go…and…gotcha. You're out of the hook, little wormy." said Lenny just as he managed to get the worm untangled from the hook.
The worm is now free from the hook, and he kept smiling at Lenny just because he is now very grateful that he helped him out. Then, he began climbing up the fishing line as fast as he could and began heading back to the surface. He just kept holding his breath and he's still relieved he didn't get eaten at all.
"Wow, that was close. I didn't get to become bait after all and I was lucky." the worm thought to himself. "I'm so happy that the shark helped me with getting out of that hook, and I'm also so glad that I didn't get eaten by a shark who are usually vicious and bloodthirsty killers. That shark is one of those sharks who are gentle and friendly, and I'm so happy that he helped me out. Thank you, kind sir. Thank you very much."
Lenny watched the worm climb up the fishing line just as he began leaving. "Okay, little buddy, you're free now. Just go and enjoy your freedom." He then chuckled. "Cute little thing."
Suddenly, just as Lenny continued leaving, another great white shark swam up towards Lenny, causing him to shriek in fear, and it was his older brother Frankie Lino.
"Oh! You startled me! And you almost gave me a heart attack!" said Lenny.
Lenny quickly saw another great white shark swim up to him causing his expression to become filled with delight, and it was his younger sister Teresa Lino.
"Salutations, Lenny." Teresa greeted.
"Oh, hey, Teresa." Lenny greeted.
"There you are. Daddy has been wondering where you went this morning." said Teresa. "Where have you been anyway?"
"Yeah, Lenny, what the heck are you doing?" asked Frankie.
"Well…I wasn't doing anything important. I was just…um…" said Lenny. He picked up some flowers from the ground. "Picking you two some flowers. I was picking flowers for my big brother and my little sister, and they're gifts to you two guys."
"Really? You were picking flowers for us?" asked Teresa. Lenny nodded. "Oh, that's so kind of you, Brother. I would like to have some flowers."
"Here you go, Sis." said Lenny just as he gives her some of the flowers.
"Thank you." said Teresa.
"You're welcome." said Lenny. He then turned to Frankie. "Here you go, Frankie. Here's some flowers for…." Frankie swatted the flowers from his fins. "Ow!"
Teresa gasped in shock. "Hey! Frankie, Our mother said we're not allowed to hit each other."
"Yeah, our mom said it's not okay to hit and it's not nice to do that!" said Lenny. Frankie responded by punching Lenny in the shoulder. "Ow!" He began rubbing his shoulder in pain.
"Cut it out!" said Teresa.
"Our mom's not here right now." said Frankie. "She's at the hospital because she's sick, remember?"
"Yes, we do remember that." said Lenny. "We do remember our mom is at the hospital 'cause she's been diagnosed with leukemia."
"We remember that our mother is at the hospital being treated for leukemia, and it's true that she isn't around right now." said Teresa.
"Now let's go home, and Pop is still waiting." said Frankie. "And we don't wanna keep him waiting all morning. C'mon."
"Okay." said Lenny.
"Alright." said Teresa.
The three great white shark siblings begin swimming back to their home together. Just as they are, Frankie begins humming the theme of Jaws, much to the disapproval of Lenny and Teresa.
"Ugh! Knock it off! Nobody doesn't want to hear that! Stop it!" said Teresa.
"Don't! Don't! Just cut it out! Please!" said Lenny.
Frankie continued to hum the Jaws theme and quickly finished while Lenny and Teresa were very annoyed by it.
"Oh, that song gives me the creeps." said Lenny.
"What do you mean by that? It's our theme song." said Frankie.
"We already know that. Every shark knows it's our theme song." said Teresa.
Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa continue to head back to their home together just as they swam throughout a kelp forest.
Meanwhile, at a vast reef that is known as Southside Reef, it is completely empty and everybody who lives at the reef is hiding at their homes in complete fear.
The reason why the citizens are hiding is because of they usually get terrorized by the great white shark mafia who live at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean along with the other kinds of predators such as the hammerhead shark mafia, the leopard shark mafia, the killer whale mafia, and the swordfish mafia sometimes, and commit many crimes which causes them to live in fear.
At one of the banks of the reef, a group of seven great white shark mobsters are robbing money from it. Some of them have the very frightened customers raising their fins, claws, and tentacles in the air and the rest of them are threatening the very frightened bank tellers at gunpoint and having them raise their fins, claws, and tentacles in the air as well.
"Alright, everybody, this is a stick up!" said great white shark mobster #1.
"Nobody moves! Because if one of you dares to make a move, you'll get it!" said great white shark mobster #2.
"Everybody keep their fins up where we could see them, and that goes for claws and tentacles too!" said great white shark mobster #3.
All of the customers and all of the bank tellers nodded their heads in complete fear, and did what the seven great white shark mobsters told them to do. Then, the seven great white shark mobsters proceed to steal the money from the bank, and they force the bank tellers to put the money in the sacks.
"You guys, give us the money or else!" said great white shark mobster #4.
"Put the money in the sacks! All of it!" said great white shark mobster #5.
"Give us all of the money you got in this bank!" said great white shark mobster #6.
"And if you don't, you're gonna have to eat lead!" said another great white shark mobster #7.
"Okay, we'll do it!" said a fish bank teller in fear.
"We'll give you guys all the money we have!" said a jellyfish bank teller in fear.
"Here! Take the money!" said a sea turtle bank teller in fear."
"Take all of it! Go ahead!" said a crab bank teller in fear.
The bank tellers put a lot of money in the sacks, and then the seven great white shark mobsters leave the bank with the sacks full of money and have successfully robbed the bank. Just as the seven great white shark mobsters have robbed the bank and left with the money they have stolen in the sacks, some of the citizens who are still hiding in fear in their homes watch them leave with the stolen money from out of the windows.
Soon, the seven great white shark mobsters leave Southside Reef with all of the stolen money in the sacks after they have successfully committed bank robbery. After the great white shark mobsters have left the reef with the stolen money, a sand trout news reporter of the Sea 9 news named Katie Current appeared on the screen of a huge jumbotron that is located in the center of one of the locations of Southside Reef known as Pelagic Square.
"Are they gone? Have they left? You're sure about that, Thomas? You're sure?" asked Katie Current. She then turned to the viewers and smiled. "Good morning, Southside Reef. I'm Katie Current, keeping it current! One of the reporters of Sea 9, the local news of the Big Sea Cucumber. The anchorman of Sea 9 Thomas and his co-anchor Rachael have just officially informed that the threat level is back down to green. The sharks are gone. I repeat, the sharks are gone!"
After Katie Current has given the report about the confirmation from Thomas and Rachael that the sharks have already left Southside Reef, the citizens of the reef became relieved and they came out of their homes while some of them remained at their homes. Everybody began swimming around the reef, going to various places, and doing their daily routines.
At Martha Sturgeon's Flowers, a flounder owner switches the close sign to open while some of the flowers quickly bloomed, and she opens the roll door. Soon, some customers began arriving at the flower shop and began buying some flowers as well as some gifts that are also available at the flower shop such as boxes of chocolate, balloons, cards, stuffed animals, and perfume.
A fish bus with a banner that says Starfish Tours drops off a paparazzi of fish who took photos of the many starfish who are under the names of the popular celebrities of the reef at the Southside Reef Swim Of Fame. Just as paparazzi are taking photos of the starfish, the starfish began saying the name of each celebrity.
"Bobby Brown." said a starfish.
"Mary J. Blige." said another starfish.
"Usher." said another starfish.
"Stevie Wonder." said another starfish.
"Chaka Khan." said another starfish.
Another starfish that is under the name Seal is about to say the name of the celebrity, but a seal suddenly lands on him and happily barks.
At Ripple Park, some citizens are doing many things there such as having nice swims at the sideswim, spending time with each other at the open fields, being on the bridge, playing basketball at the basketball court, playing baseball at the baseball field, exploring the garden, children playing at the playground, and children and their parents riding on the seahorse carousel.
At Kelpy Kreme, some of the employees work together to make donuts in different kinds of flavors by using the donut making machine, and they put some of the donuts in many boxes by using sticks to pick them up once they are finished. One of the employees carried some of the boxes and brought them to baristas who work together to give out the boxes of donuts to the customers as well as give out cups of coffee to them.
At one of the apartment buildings, the citizens who live there are taking good care their own apartments as well as take good care of each other such as a fish cleaning his bathroom, an electric eel dusting her curtains, a sea turtle sweeping the floors of his hallway, a jellyfish mopping her kitchen, a walrus father giving his infant son a bath, a crab mother giving her sickly daughter some cold medicine, and fish parents making some breakfast for their son and daughter.
Elsewhere at the Southside Reef, while everybody is still swimming around the reef and traveling to various places, Katie Current makes some more reports on Sea 9 which is seen on various TV screens from an electronics store that is called TV Emporium.
"Up next, a fish who is the mother of 800 children tells us how she does it all and how she's able to take care of all of them." Katie Current announced to the viewers just as the news showed the fish mother being overwhelmed by her 800 children. Then, the news switches to another fish reporter of Sea 9 Janice. "But first, over to Janice for the traffic report and to Chuck for the latest shark attack report at one of the reef's banks."
"Thank you very much, Katie Current." said Janice. She swam above the traffic and saw a mackerel who had been overturned and was crying while the dolphin police are trying to calm him down. "Slight congestion here at InterReef 95, there's an overturned mackerel. The local authorities are trying to calm him down after he had his accident within the traffic. Also, due to the mackerel being overturned, he's causing a traffic jam. Get out your ShellPhones and call your bosses 'cause you'll be late to your work due to the traffic jam. Now to you, Chuck."
Then, the news switches to another fish reporter of Sea 9 named Chuck who is right in front of the bank that has been robbed by the seven great white shark mobsters from earlier, and he is having an interview with the electric eel owner of the bank who is very depressed that all of the money from his bank has been stolen by the seven great white shark mobsters.
"Thanks, Janice." said Chuck. "I'm at the bank where the sharks have robbed this morning, and it was the third bank robbery in this reef by the sharks this week. According to the owner of this bank, the sharks have stolen 30000 clams, and that was all the money the bank had. The sharks took all of it and the bank is completely out of money. Right now, I'm having an interview with the owner of the bank." He then turns to the electric eel owner. "So, sir, how did you really feel when your bank was robbed by the sharks and how they have stolen all of the money here?"
"Oh, I felt so awful. Just awful." said the electric eel owner. "My bank used to have 30000 clams so customers could come and make their deposits and withdrawals, but those sharks came and robbed the 30000 clams. They stole everything we had in this bank, and all the 30000 clams are now gone. All gone."
Then, the electric eel owner began crying over the 30000 clams from his bank that had been stolen by the great white shark mobsters from earlier, and Chuck began to feel bad for him and began to comfort him.
"Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright, sir." said Chuck. He then turned back to the viewers. "So, this bank has been robbed by the sharks this morning and this is the third bank robbery this week. Banks have been losing money this week due to the sharks robbing them, and have to print out more money so people would be able to buy the things that they need. More money will be printed out and will be at the banks that were robbed by the sharks soon."
Back at the traffic jam, while everybody who were present at the road were waiting for the situation to be over soon so they could continue with traveling on the road, one of the taxi fish became very frustrated about the situation and became very impatient.
"What is taking so long?! I have somewhere to be right now!" snapped the taxi fish.
"Don't be so impatient, okay? You're just gonna have to wait until the traffic jam is over like everybody else on this road!" said the other taxi fish. "And don't you yell at me! My mother is your mother, alright?"
The taxi fish groaned in frustration and swam somewhere else. The taxi fish kept swimming around until he stopped at another road where there were some more fish waiting for the swimming street light to change from Don't Swim to Swim, and the swimming street light quickly changed from Don't Swim to Swim, and the taxi fish continued to travel throughout the road.
A fish dumps garbage in the mouth of a garbage fish who eats it and disposes of it, and swims somewhere else to eat some more garbage and dispose of it. At the Prawn Shop, a clam gives his white pearl to a blue shrimp owner who checks on it.
"Yep. This pearl is a fake. It's a counterfeit." said the blue shrimp owner.
"Fake?! Counterfeit?! I spent eight years making that pearl!" exclaimed the clam.
While the lobster trains begin walking down the elevated train tracks of Southside Reef, the fish owner of a restaurant called Sushi Bowl is waiting for some customers to show up so he could sell some sushi to them, but nobody shows up at all, and the fish owner impales a knife on the counter and raises his fins up in frustration.
Back on the jumbotron, while everybody is still swimming around the reef, going to various places, and doing their daily routines, Katie Current makes another report about the sharks always being a threat to Southside Reef, and how the fear of sharks quickly escalate day after day and something needs to be done about the situation.
"According to the latest Scallop Poll by Thomas and Rachael, the fear of sharks is at an all time high. It has been increasing everyday." Katie Current announced to the viewers. "Tonight at 11, join Sea 9 for an in-depth report. With this increasing fear of shark activity, how long must this reef live in fear and be under siege? Will your kids be safe from this kind of situation? Is there no hero no hero around to help us? Who is capable of stopping this shark menace?"
Later on, at another part of the reef, a bluestreak cleaner wrasse named Oscar who is wearing a cap sideways, a chain with a O shaped medallion, and sunglasses turned himself around and began introducing himself while enjoying living a lifestyle of luxury at an amazing penthouse.
"Hey, guys. My name is Oscar." Oscar greeted. "You might think you know, but you guys absolutely have no idea." He began showing the things at the penthouse. "Welcome to my crib. My luxurious home. The good life, the way the other half lives. Check it out. My penthouse has everything. I got my 60 inch high def flatscreen TV with 6-speaker surround. CD, DVD, Playstation hookup and an 8-track player for days when you're feeling just a little…" He began beatboxing " …old school." He laughs. "'Cause even a superstar Mack daddy fish like me has to have the basic necessities."
Suddenly, three fish children who are holding spray cans known as the Shorties swam up to Oscar, and it's quickly revealed that the amazing penthouse Oscar lives at is actually a billboard that advertises "If You Were Rich and Living A Luxurious Life…You Would Be Home By Now!", and Oscar isn't really living a luxurious lifestyle.
"Yeah, like money. A lot of money to live in a luxurious home." said Shorty #1. He then laughs.
"C'mon, Shorties, why y'all messing with my fantasy of living a life of luxury? Why you gotta mess with my fantasy?" asked Oscar.
"'Cause you're so broke, your baloney has no first name." said Shorty #1.
"Yeah, that's funny. It's really, really funny. Nice one." said Oscar.
"Hey, Oscar! Oscar! Over here! I gotta talk to ya! I need to tell ya something!" a hermit crab named Crazy Joe called out from a nearby dumpster.
"Hold on a minute. I'll be right there." Oscar called out. "Shorties, please do me a favor and hold onto these for me."
"Oscar, you're the fish. You rule." said Shorty #2.
"Yo, doo. You're the best." said Shorty #1.
"Yeah, you are the best, homie." said Shorty #3.
Oscar gives his cap to Shorty #1, gives his sunglasses to Shorty #2, and gives his chain to Shorty #3 which accidentally causes her to float down due to its weight. After giving his cap, sunglasses, and chain to the three Shorties, he swims up to Crazy Joe at the dumpster and warmly greets him.
"Yo, Crazy Joe. What's up?" Oscar greeted.
"Hey, I began thinking about something that is very important." said Crazy Joe. "Since now that you live in that great penthouse, is it okay if I can be your financial advisor?"
"That isn't a penthouse, Crazy Joe. It's a billboard." said Oscar.
"You live in a billboard? A billboard is your home?" asked Crazy Joe.
"What? No. No, I don't live in a billboard. I live in an apartment. You already knew that." said Oscar.
"And everybody else calls me that I'm a crazy crustacean!" said Crazy Joe.
Crazy Joe then gets an umbrella from the dumpster that is filled with holes and floats away while laughing insanely, and Oscar watches Crazy Joe float away on the umbrella with a freaked out expression.
"Hey, Oscar! Look who came to visit!" said Shorty #1 just as he and the other Shorties have finished spray painting the billboard.
Oscar yelps in fear when he sees the three Shorties have vandalized the billboard and made graffiti artwork of himself being eaten alive by a great white shark who is bursting through the penthouse floor.
"Gotcha!" said the three Shorties just as they laughed.
"No, don't do that! You shouldn't be doing that 'cause it's against the law!" said Oscar just as he wiped some of the graffiti off of the billboard.
"Hey, Oscar!" somebody's voice called out.
"Huh?" asked Oscar.
"Huh?" asked the three Shorties.
Suddenly, Oscar and the three Shorties see a tuna named Nelson who is one of Oscar's best friends and his roommate. He swims up to them, and Oscar warmly greets him and the three Shorties warmly greets him as well.
"Oh, hey, Nelson. What's up, homie?" Oscar greeted.
"Hey, Nelson." the three Shorties greeted.
"Hey, Oscar. Hey, Shorties." Nelson greeted. "Oscar, there you are. I've been looking all over for you this morning. After I woke up, I found out you had left our apartment, and I went looking for you so we could begin working at our jobs. It's time to go to work and we should really be going right now 'cause we're running late…and we can't be late on our…" He suddenly sees the graffiti artwork of Oscar getting eaten by a great white shark, causing him to scream in fear. "OH, MY GOSH! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!"
"Nel, relax, calm down. It's just artwork that the Shorties made." said Oscar.
"Really?" asked Nelson.
"Yeah, doo. We made it." said Shorty #2.
"Mmm-hmm. It's just one of our artwork." said Shorty #3.
Nelson began calming himself down. "Well…this artwork is impressive. It is frightening, but impressive. Good work, kids. Good work."
"Thanks, Nel." said Shorty #1.
"Also, you kids shouldn't be spray painting on places such as the billboard." replied Nelson. "Graffiti on private property and public property is vandalism, and vandalism is against the law."
"Yeah, that's right, vandalism is against the law, and it could get you into a lot of trouble." said Oscar. "Besides, should you kids be at school like you're supposed to be?"
"Shouldn't you and Nelson be at work like you're supposed to be?" asked Shorty #3.
"Ooh, right back at me, huh. Little smartmouth." said Oscar. "Look, Nelson and I are on our way to our jobs now, and we are running really late. Y'all stay out of trouble, alright? And clean that graffiti off of the billboard. Bye, Shorties."
"Bye, kids." said Nelson.
"See ya, Oscar and Nelson." said the three Shorties just as they began cleaning up the graffiti by using their tail-fins.
Oscar and Nelson waved bye to the three Shorties, and they began to swim to their jobs and they were running late to their work. Just as they are, Crazy Joe is still floating away on the umbrella.
"See ya, Oscar. And see ya, Nelson." said Crazy Joe.
Soon, Oscar and Nelson arrive at the place they both work at, and it is the Whale Wash which is owned by Sykes himself. The Whale Wash is a place where sperm whales get themselves cleaned up by many employees such as fish, jellyfish, crabs, electric eels, flounders, sea otters, and sea turtles, and a large assembly of sperm whale customers has arrived to get cleaned up by the many employees. Oscar and Nelson swam past the large assembly of sperm whale customers.
While Oscar and Nelson had just arrived at the Whale Wash, a crab employee used batons to signal the sperm whale customers to land on a large automatic sled that carries them to the inside of the Whale Wash so they could start getting cleaned up. Oscar and Nelson both went inside the Whale Wash, and they began greeting their co-workers who began doing their hard work once the sperm whale customers had arrived.
First, Oscar and Nelson greet the crab employees who have the job to remove the barnacles off of the sperm whale customer's backs by using their claws and jumping out of Whale Wash carriers in their bungee jumping cords.
"Yo, yo, what's up, fellas? Big O's in the house." Oscar greeted just as he high-5'd a crab employee.
"Hey, guys, good morning." Nelson greeted just as he shook the claw of another crab employee.
"Hi, Oscar and Nelson." a crab employee greeted.
"Good morning, Oscar and Nelson." another crab employee greeted.
"Hello, Oscar and Nelson." another crab employee greeted.
The crab employees then jumped out of the Whale Wash carriers and landed on a sperm whale customer's back where they began removing the barnacles off of it by using their claws.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greet the electric eel employees who have the job to remove the barnacles from under the sperm whale customers by using their electric stingers. Just as they are working together to remove the barnacles from under a sperm whale customer, they all notice Oscar and Nelson and they warmly greet them.
"Hey, Oscar and Nelson." an electric eel employee greeted.
"Hi, Oscar and Nelson." another electric eel employee greeted.
"Hello, Oscar and Nelson." another electric eel employee greeted.
"What's up, guys?" Oscar greeted.
"Hi." Nelson greeted.
The electric eel employees continued to work together to remove the barnacles from under the sperm whale customer by using their electric stingers.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greet the fish employees who have the job of scrubbing the sperm whale customers' backs with cleaning brushes by using large amounts of soap suds, and the fish employees smiled at Oscar and Nelson while they worked together to scrub a sperm whale customer's back with their cleaning brushes and the soap suds.
"Good morning, everybody." Oscar greeted.
"Hey." Nelson greeted.
"Hello, Oscar and Nelson." a fish employee greeted.
"Hey, Oscar and Nelson." another fish employee greeted.
"Hi, Oscar and Nelson." another fish employee greeted.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greeted a fish employee named Johnson who works at the control tower of the Whale Wash where he pulls switches to control the machinery of the Whale Wash to clean up the sperm whale customers such as the automatic brushes to brush the sperm whale customers, the kelp brushes to brush the sperm whale customers, the soaper system to spray the large amount of soap suds on the sperm whale customers' backs which is for the fish employees to scrub their backs with cleaning brushes, and bubble blowing machines to blow bubbles on the sperm whale customers.
Johnson pulls a switch of a bubble blowing machine which blows bubbles on a sperm whale customer, pulls another switch of another bubble blowing machine which blows bubbles on another sperm whale customer, and pulls another switch of another bubble blowing machine which blows bubbles on another sperm whale customer,
"Hey, Johnson, is it lunchtime yet?" asked Oscar.
"You and Nelson just got here! And it's still morning!" answered Johnson.
"Johnson is right, Oscar, we just got here." said Nelson.
Oscar just shrugged his shoulders just as he and Nelson swam past some automatic brushes and the sperm whale customer who got bubbles blown on him from the bubble blowing machine by Johnson while he got brushed with some more of the automatic brushes, and swam past some kelp brushes and another sperm whale customer who got bubbles blown on her from the other bubble blowing machine by Johnson while she got brushed with some of the kelp brushes.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greet another fish employee named Headphone Guy who was listening to some music on his headphones and put an air freshener on the tooth of a sperm whale customer.
"Hey, Headphone Guy." Oscar greeted.
"Hello, Headphone Guy." Nelson greeted.
Oscar and Nelson shook their heads just as they both noticed Headphone Guy didn't hear them at all due to wearing his headphones and listening to music, and they continued greeting their co-workers.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greeted another fish employee named Phoebe who was cleaning and unclogging a sperm whale customer's blowhole by using a gloves, plunger, an empty bucket, washcloth, and a bucket of conditioner. She uses the gloves to remove some brown muck from the blowhole and put them in the bucket, gets some conditioner from the bucket with the washcloth and wipes the blowhole with the washcloth of conditioner, and uses the plunger to unclog the sperm whale customer's blowhole and she quickly unclogs it which caused the sperm whale to spout out of it, much to her delight.
"What's up, Phoebe?" Oscar greeted.
"Hello, Phoebe." Nelson greeted.
"Hi, Oscar and Nelson. Good morning." Phoebe greeted.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greeted the sea otter employees who have the job to spray the sperm whale customers with foam by using washcloths and foam spray guns. Just as the sea otter employees are working together to spray a sperm whale customer with foam with their foam spray guns and wipe the sperm whale customer with their washcloths, they quickly notice Oscar and Nelson and they smile at them.
"Good morning, Oscar and Nelson." a sea otter employee greeted.
"Hi, Oscar and Nelson." another sea otter employee greeted.
"What's up, Oscar and Nelson?" another sea otter employee greeted.
"What's up, y'all?" Oscar greeted.
"Hi, guys." Nelson greeted.
Next, Oscar and Nelson greeted the flounder employees who have the job of scrubbing detergent on the sperm whale customers by using buckets of detergent and small cleaning brushes. While they are working together to scrub detergent on a sperm whale customer and use the small cleaning brushes to scrub him with the detergent, they give Oscar and Nelson thumbs up while they warmly greet them.
"Hello, Oscar and Nelson." a flounder employee greeted.
"Hey, Oscar and Nelson." a flounder employee greeted.
"Good morning, Oscar and Nelson." a flounder employee greeted.
"Good morning." Oscar greeted.
"Hello." Nelson greeted.
Then, Oscar and Nelson greeted the sea turtle employees who have the job to wax the sperm whale customers by using sponges and hot wax. While they are working together to wax a sperm whale customer, they do really impressive dance moves.
"Hey, ladies." Oscar greeted.
"Hello, ladies. Good morning." Nelson greeted.
"Hey, Oscar and Nelson." a sea turtle employee greeted.
"Good morning, Oscar and Nelson." another sea turtle employee greeted.
"Hello, Oscar and Nelson." another sea turtle employee greeted.
Oscar and Nelson did some dance moves to praise the sea turtle employees for their impressive dance moves as well as doing a good job waxing the sperm whale customers, and the sea turtle employees did some of the impressive dance moves to show their gratitude to Oscar and Nelson for praising them.
"Keep up the good work, ladies." said Oscar.
"Yeah, you're doing great, ladies. Keep it up." said Nelson.
"Thanks." said another sea turtle employee.
"Thank you." said another sea turtle employee.
Oscar and Nelson have finished greeting their co-workers, and they soon arrive at the punch-in section of the Whale Wash so they can clock in their cards and start doing their jobs. They couldn't find their cards anywhere until they quickly found out that their cards had already been punched in by somebody.
"Huh? I'm already punched in?" asked Oscar.
"And I'm already punched in too?" asked Nelson.
"Somebody must've punched us in for us while we were running late to work." said Oscar.
"But who?" asked Nelson.
Oscar quickly realized who punched him and Nelson in just as he smiled at his card. "Angie."
"Huh?" asked Nelson in surprise.
"Angie. She did this. Angie punched in for us." replied Oscar.
"Wait a minute. Angie punched in for us while we were running late to work?" asked Nelson.
"Mmm-hmm." said Oscar.
"Well, if Angie punched in for us, then Sabrina must've punched in for us too." said Nelson. "Angie punched in your card and Sabrina punched in our card. Those two help us out so we won't be late for our jobs."
"We should really thank Angie and Sabrina for punching in for us so we'll be right on time." said Oscar.
"Yeah, we should really tell those two thanks, Oscar. Let's go to the Whale Whale receptionist office to see them." said Nelson.
"That's a good idea, let's go to the receptionist office to see Angie and Sabrina so we could thank them for punching in for us." said Oscar.
Oscar and Nelson then begin swimming to the Whale Wash receptionist office to thank Angie and Sabrina for clocking in their cards for them so they wouldn't be late for work since they were running late. Just as they are, it is quickly revealed that Oscar bought a bag of donuts from the Kelpy Kreme donut and coffee shop which is for Angie and Nelson has bought a bag of pancakes from them the IHOS (acronym for International House of Salmon) breakfast restaurant which is for Sabrina.
At the Whale Wash receptionist office, there was a marine angelfish named Angie who is the receptionist of the Whale Wash and was answering to somebody on the telephone, and she is one of Oscar's best friends. Also, there is a sea goldie named Sabrina who is the assistant receptionist of the Whale Wash and was also answering to somebody on the headset, and she is one of Oscar's best friends and Angie's roommate.
Angie and Sabrina are working together to make some phone calls while they sat on the wheelchairs while Sabrina chewed and blew some bubblegum, but they were both focused on a sperm whale customer and helps him out on what he needs so he could start getting cleaned up by the employees while they both noticed some fish employees helped some of the sperm whale customers to the stations of the Whale Wash from right behind their sperm whale client. They saw two fish employees helping another sperm whale customer to the crab station where the crab employees began removing the barnacles off of his back, and they both began helping the sperm whale customer on what he needed.
"Good morning, kind sir. Can we help you?" asked Angie.
"Yo, what's up? What do you need, sir? What will it be?" asked Sabrina just as she blew on her bubblegum.
"One wash and lube, please." said the sperm whale customer.
"Need some wax to make you spotless?" asked Angie.
"Yes, please." said the sperm whale customer.
"Need some detergent to make you spick and span?" asked Sabrina.
"Of course, please." said the sperm whale customer.
"How about some Cleantastic Kelp Soap?" asked Angie. "We're having a special on that kind of soap this morning. What do you say?"
"Please." said the sperm whale customer.
"And how about some Seabreeze Soap?" asked Sabrina "We're having a special on the Seabreeze Soap this morning too."
"Why not? I'll use those while I get cleaned up here." said the sperm whale customer.
"Great! That will be thirty clams and ninety-nine scallops." said Angie.
"Here you go." said the sperm whale customer.
The sperm whale customer gives Angie and Sabrina the thirty clams and the ninety-nine scallops with his large fin, and Sabrina gets the money from him and puts it in the cash register. After paying Angie and Sabrina so he could start getting cleaned up with the things that he needed, the sperm whale customer smiled at them.
"Thanks, sir." said Angie.
"You're welcome." said the sperm whale customer. "Oh, and by the way, it's mating season for the sperm whales. And I'm feeling like that I'll find the perfect mate for me!" He then leaves to get himself cleaned up.
"Alright. Good luck finding a mate, kind sir. See ya later." said Sabrina.
After the sperm whale customer had left and had paid the right amount of money to get cleaned up by the employees, Angie and Sabrina began making some phone calls. Angie answered on the telephone and Sabrina answered on the headset while she kept chewing and blowing on her bubblegum.
"Sykes' Whale Wash." answered Angie. "You get a whale of a wash, and the price is…" she sighed lovingly and began to have a lovestruck expression. "...oh, my gosh." Just as she was making a phone call, she was doodling on a paper that says Angie+Oscar inside a big heart on a clipboard, meaning that she has always been deeply in love with Oscar. "Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Mmm-hmm. Oh, may I suggest the best conditioner we got here? It could help you get rid of barnacles, acne, rashes, and eczema in no time at all."
"Sykes' Whale Wash. You get a whale of a wash, and the price is, oh, my gosh." answered Sabrina while she continued to chew and blow on her bubblegum. "Oh, we have the finest detergent here, ma'am. It's high quality, and it can help you with removing dirt, muck, gunk, and sludge, and it can also help you with taking care of the foulest body odor too. Our detergent can really help you with all of that to make you all cleaned up, m'am. And you should really try it out, it's amazing." She continued listening to the sperm whale customer on the headset. "Alright, ma'am. Alright."
While Sabrina continued to listen to the sperm whale customer on the headset, she began doing some paperwork while she kept chewing and blowing on her bubblegum, and she suddenly noticed Angie doodling her love for Oscar while she continued to listen to the other sperm whale customer on the other line on the telephone.
Just as the other sperm whale customer continued to talk to Angie on the telephone, Angie began doodling little hearts on her secret paper and filling them with Oscar's name, and she still has a lovestruck expression and thinks about her deep romantic feelings for Oscar just as she was still focused on her phone call.
Sabrina stared at Angie's secret paper just as she was still focused on her phone call, doing the paperwork, and kept chewing and blowing on her bubblegum, and she began smiling at Angie's secret paper just as she is completely aware that Angie always has been in love with Oscar, and the reason why she knows about Angie always having feelings because she has told her all about it.
Then, Sabrina picks up a photo frame from the counter that shows her, Oscar, Angie, and Nelson being right in front of a Fish King restaurant and wearing paper crowns when they used to be young children, meaning that they have been best friends for a very long time.
Sabrina smiled at the photo frame for a moment just as she continued chewing and blowing on her bubblegum and put it back on the counter, and she continued to listen to the sperm whale customer on the headset and watched Angie continue to doodle her love for Oscar.
Angie and Sabrina continued to work together to make some phone calls until Oscar and Nelson suddenly arrived at the Whale Wash receptionist office with the Kelpy Kreme bag and the IHOS bag, and they both warmly greet them and begin showing their gratitude for helping them out with clocking them in so they won't be late for work.
"Hey, Ang and Brina." Oscar greeted just as he put the Kelpy Kreme bag on the counter.
"Hello, Ang. Hello, Brina." Nelson greeted just as he put the IHOS bag on the counter.
Once Oscar and Nelson had arrived at the receptionist office, Angie became alarmed and quickly hid her secret paper under some other papers before Oscar could see it. She thought that if Oscar did see her secret paper, she would be very embarrassed, and Sabrina pretended that she didn't even see Angie's secret paper and acted casually.
"OH, MY GOSH! Hi, Oscar and Nelson." Angie greeted.
"What's up, Oscar? What's up, Nel?" Sabrina greeted.
"We've decided to drop by to thank you two for punching us in and covering us." said Oscar. "Thanks for helping us out."
"Yeah, thank you, Angie and Sabrina." said Nelson. "Thank you for punching us in so we won't be late for our jobs. We appreciate it. Thank you."
"You're welcome." said Angie.
"You're welcome, guys." said Sabrina. "Ang and I had to punch you guys 'cause we couldn't let you guys come late for work, and if you guys did came late, then you'll get in trouble and Mr. Sykes would puff up like he usually does."
"Mmm-hmm. Mr. Sykes would puff up if we came late for work, and we would get in trouble if we were late." said Nelson. "However, you two have helped us out and punched in for us so we won't be late for work. It was really kind of you to cover for us, Ang and Brina."
"Well, that's what we do for each other 'cause we are always there for each other." said Angie. "We help each other out when needed, and that's a kind thing to do."
"Uh-huh. That's so true." said Oscar. He then grabbed the telephone from Angie. "Yo, I'm sorry, kind sir. Angie needs to get her freak on. Please hold on for one moment and she'll get right back to ya. Thank you, dog." He pressed the hold button.
"Oscar! I was in the middle of a phone call with a loyal customer!" said Angie.
Oscar then grabs the headset off of Sabrina's head and puts it on. "Hey, I'm sorry, ma'am. Sabrina needs to get her freak on and she'll get to your conversation with her. Hold on your phone for a moment, please. Thank you, doll." He takes off the headset and puts it on the counter.
"Hey! Oscar, I was busy talking to another loyal customer on the headset." said Sabrina.
"Oscar, what are you doing?" asked Nelson in surprise.
"C'mon, Ang! Dance with me, mama! C'mon, girl, let's dance!" said Oscar. He grabbed Angie's fin and tried to make her dance with him.
"Hey, knock it off!" said Nelson just as he chuckled.
"Don't make Ang dance with you! Stop that!" said Sabrina just as she giggled.
Oscar spinned Angie around and began singing. "I'll eventually make a million! Tomorrow I will be rich! C'mon, Ang, dance with me!"
"Oscar! You're gonna get me fired!" said Angie just as she smiled and sat back down on her wheelchair.
"Yeah, you're gonna get Ang fired if you keep doing your foolishness." said Sabrina just as she continued doing the paperwork and Angie started doing some paperwork as well.
"And if she gets fired, then I'll have to find another partner for the receptionist office. I can't do all of the phone calls and paperwork all by myself." said Sabrina.
"You'll might get Ang fired due to your foolishness, Oscar. She'll might lose her job at the receptionist office because of it." said Nelson.
"Please, Angie fired 'cause of my foolishness?" said Oscar just as he scoffed. "That can't happen. I couldn't let her be fired 'cause of me." He then sat on the counter and began playing with a seashell. "If she was fired 'cause of me, then I wouldn't have absolutely no reason to come to work. I wouldn't come to work at all.
"Oh, you don't mean that. You honestly don't mean what you just said." said Angie sheepishly just as Oscar let go of the seashell.
"You can't be serious about if you wouldn't come to work at all if Ang was fired 'cause of you and your foolishness, Oscar." said Sabrina while Angie grabbed the seashell and puts it back on the counter.
"Of course, I do. I really do mean what I just said." said Oscar. "That's 'cause you're my best friend, Ang. Nel is my best friend while he's my roommate, and Sabrina is my best friend. We're all best friends."
"That's right, we are best friends." said Nelson.
"And we have been best friends for a very long time." said Sabrina.
Angie gasped. Then, when Oscar, Nelson, and Sabrina is not looking, and Oscar puts on his goggles, Nelson puts on his goggles, and Sabrina continued doing some paperwork, Angie picks up her pen and dramatically pretends to stab herself in the heart with it. When Oscar, Nelson, and Sabrina turns back to Angie, she quickly hides her pen behind her back with a sheepish giggle.
"Yes. We have been best friends for a very long time, and we've been best friends since we used to be kids." said Angie.
"Hey, guys, listen to this. I have an idea. Tell me what you think about this." said Oscar. "This is like the best idea ever! It's a sure-thing-guarantee-cash extravaganza."
"Oh, yeah? And what is your idea to get rich this time?" asked Nelson.
"Bottled water and relaxation." answered Oscar.
"Oh, no." said Angie in exasperation.
"You have got to be kidding!" said Sabrina in exasperation.
"This latest idea can't fail on me this time." said Oscar. "Look, all I need is an advance on my paycheck from the boss, and guys, I'll be out of this place in no time at all. I'll be like…pschoo!" He then did a little dance.
"Oscar, instead of getting into Mr. Sykes' face with another one of your get-rich-quick schemes just like you usually do, go do something you're actually good at." said Angie just as she gets out a cleaning utility belt. "Your own job right here at the Whale Wash." She puts the cleaning utility belt around Oscar. "Which by some miracle and some luck, you still have."
Sabrina gets out another cleaning utility belt. "Good luck on your jobs, you two." She puts the other cleaning utility on Nelson. "We both wish you good luck on your jobs, and we'll see you two later. See ya."
"And we both wish you two good look on your jobs too. Bye." said Nelson.
"See ya, Ang. See ya, Brina." said Oscar.
"Bye, Oscar and Nel." said Angie.
Oscar grabbed the Kelpy Kreme bag from the counter and Nelson grabbed the IHOS bag from the counter, and they both began leaving the Whale Wash receptionist office together while Angie and Sabrina prepared to continue to work together to make phone calls and do paperwork. Just as they are, they suddenly remembered that Oscar bought the Kelpy Kreme bag for Angie and Neson bought the IHOS bag for Sabrina, and they both gave them to Angie and Sabrina.
"Oh, I almost forgot." said Oscar. "Angie, I bought you some breakfast." He held out the Kelpy Kreme bag to Angie.
"You didn't! Kelpy Kreme? The popular donut and coffee shop?" asked Angie just as she smiled.
"Mmm-hmm. It is Kelpy Kreme, and it's your favorite." said Oscar just as he gives the Kelpy Kreme bag to Angie.
"Thanks, Oscar. I'm really gonna enjoy the Kelpy Kreme donuts, and they are so good." said Angie.
"You're welcome." said Oscar.
"Hey, Sabrina, I bought you some breakfast too, and it's from the International House of Salmon. IHOS for short." said Nelson just as he held out the IHOS bag to Sabrina.
"Really? You got me breakfast from IHOS?" asked Sabrina. Nelson nodded. "Oh, thank you very much, Sabrina. IHOS is one of my favorite places to get breakfast at, and I really love their pancakes so much. I'm really gonna enjoy these IHOS pancakes, and thanks Nelson."
"You're welcome." said Nelson.
"Oh, and Ang and Sabrina, you two are still on hold." said Oscar. "Ang is still on hold on the telephone and Brina is still on hold on the headset."
"Oh, my gosh!" said Angie in alarm just as she got back on the phone.
"That's right, the customers are still holding on the other line!" said Sabrina in alarm just as she put the headset back on.
"Thank you for holding, kind sir! Sorry about that! Sorry for the delay of the phone call." apologized Angie. "We're busy, busy, busy, sir! Go!"
"It's time for you two to go now, and we'll see you two later! Now go!" said Sabrina. "Sorry for the hold up! Things are really busy here at the Whale Wash, ma'am! It really is!"
Oscar and Nelson both nod their heads, and then they leave the receptionist office so they could get started on their jobs at the Whale Wash while Angie and Sabrina continue to work together on their own jobs. Just as they are, Angie started at Oscar leave along with Nelson, and she began to have a lovestruck expression again and sighed lovingly since she has feelings for Oscar while Sabrina noticed her staring at Oscar with a lovestruck expression just as she knows about her love for Oscar, and Sabrina smiled at Angie's feelings for Oscar and giggled.
Then, Angie and Sabrina went back to making the phone calls and doing the paperwork. Angie continued to where she left off on telephone during her phone call with the sperm whale customer and Sabrina continued to where she left off on the headset during her phone call with the other sperm whale customer while she stops chewing and blowing on her bubblegum, spits it out, and throws it in a nearby trash can.
"How can I help you, kind sir? More suggestions about the conditioner we have at this business?" asked Angie. She continued to listen to the sperm whale customer on the other line. "Oh, you wanna talk to Mr. Sykes about the conditioner? Sorry, he's not here right now. He's at a meeting and he won't be back until later on today."
"So, about the detergent, it's really high quality. Any more questions?" asked Sabrina. She continued to listen to the other sperm whale customer on the other line. "You would like to ask Mr. Sykes more about the finest detergent we have here? He isn't here right now. He went to a meeting and he said it's very important. He'll be back later."
Whenever Sykes went to a meeting, he would have a meeting with the one who runs Southside Reef. At the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean, the great white shark mobsters arrive at the sunken wreck of the RMS Titanic where it serves as the home of the great white shark mafia with all of the money they have stolen from one of the banks of the reef from before, and they bring the stolen money inside the RMS Titanic.
Inside the RMS Titanic, the seven great white shark mobsters swim throughout the hallways until they arrive at a money vault where money that has been stolen by the great white shark mafia is being stored at. One of the great white shark mobsters dialed the correct password, unlocked the vault, and opened it.
The seven great white shark mobsters put the sacks of stolen money in the vault along with the other sacks of stolen money. They soon finished putting the sacks of stolen money in the vault with the other sacks of stolen money, and they closed the vault. Once the seven great white shark mobsters have finished putting the sacks of stolen money in the vault along with the other sacks of stolen money, they begin to congratulate themselves for successfully robbing one of the banks of Southside Reef.
"Good work, guys. We've managed to rob another bank this week." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Another day, another clam. By robbing another bank in Southside Reef." said great white shark mobster #2.
"Oh, this is so great. We've already robbed three banks in the reef this week, and we've been doing a really good job at robbing the banks." said great white shark mobster #3.
"Well, since we've already robbed another bank this week, let's go on a break." said great white shark mobster #4.
"Hey, that's a good idea. We should really take a break after we've managed to commit a third bank robbery." said great white shark mobster #5
"Let's take a break right now. I'm really exhausted from doing all of this hard work." said great white shark mobster #6.
"Me too. It's break time, guys." said great white shark mobster #7.
The seven great white shark mobsters then leave the money vault and begin having their break of committing the bank robbery in Southside Reef from earlier. While the seven great white shark mobsters begin having their break, Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa have already arrived back to the RMS Titanic, and they have noticed that some of the members of the great white shark mafia have committed another bank robbery, much to their surprise.
"Hey, look, those guys have robbed another bank in Southside Reef today." said Frankie. "And they've managed to rob a lot of money today too, Can't you believe it, Lenny and Teresa?"
"Yeah, we can't believe it." said Lenny. "We can't believe that there has been another bank robbery, and they have stolen a lot of money. They have been stealing a lot of money from the banks of Southside Reef three times this week, and they've been really good at commiting crimes such as robbing banks."
"They have been doing a good job commiting crimes in Southside Reef lately, and they robbed a lot of money three times this week." said Teresa. "The crimes that the members of the great white shark mafia commit are very good, and they have been doing it for a very long time. We all know that."
"Mmm-hmm. Well, we should really tell Pop that the members of the great white shark mafia have committed another robbery that was a huge success." said Frankie. "He really needs to know all about it and he will be so happy, and we still can't keep him waiting."
"That's right, Pop really needs to know that the latest crime was very successful and that the members of the mafia have successfully robbed another bank this week." said Lenny.
"Let's go tell him right now. He must be in his office having a meeting with one of his loyal henchmen." said Teresa.
"Also, we can tell him about how Lenny had his little accident this morning." said Frankie.
"Huh?" asked Lenny.
"You know, your little accident." said Frankie.
"What accident?" asked Lenny.
"Wait a minute. What are you talking about, Frankie? What accident Lenny had this morning, huh? What was his accident?" asked Teresa.
"He was born." said Frankie.
"What?" asked Lenny.
"Lenny was born by accident, and that's because of who he is." said Frankie. He hits Lenny on his shoulder again.
"Ow! Hey! Frankie, knock it off!" exclaimed Lenny just as he rubbed his shoulder again.
"Will you stop it?! Just stop it, alright? Stop hitting Lenny or I'm gonna make you stop hitting him!" said Teresa.
"Well, I would like to see ya try, Sis." said Frankie just as he laughed mockingly.
"Most of the time, you could be obnoxious, Frankie." replied Teresa. "You tease Lenny and make fun of him, and that gets on my nerves and annoys me so much."
"And it gets on my nerves and annoys me so much too. Especially when you hit me even though our mom said it's not okay to do that." said Lenny.
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it." said Frankie. "Besides, even though I tease and make fun of Lenny, and even though it does get on both of your nerves and annoy you so much, I love you guys so much. I really love my little brother and my little sister so much, and you know it."
"That's true. You love us even though you are obnoxious, and we love you too." said Lenny.
"Yes, we love you too, Frankie, and you love us. We all love each other very much." said Teresa. "Also, I really enjoy seeing my two big brothers get along too. That makes me so happy."
"We know." said Lenny and Frankie.
Then, Frankie smiles at Lenny and Teresa just as he express his brotherly love for them even though he could be obnoxious most of the time and would tease Lenny which greatly annoys him as well as Teresa, and Lenny and Teresa begins smiling at Frankie just as Lenny expressed his brotherly love for him and Teresa expressed her sisterly love for him even though they could be annoyed Frankie being obnoxious most of the time.
"I love you, Lenny and Teresa." said Frankie.
"I love you, Frankie and Teresa." said Lenny.
"I love you, Lenny and Frankie." said Teresa.
Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa smiled at each other and expressed their sibling love for each other. Frankie grabbed Lenny and gave him a noogie, Frankie grabbed Teresa and gave her a noogie, Lenny nuzzled Frankie's, Lenny nuzzled Teresa's head, Teresa gave Frankie a kiss on his cheek, and Teresa gave Lenny a kiss on the cheek. The three great white shark siblings warmly embraced each other.
"Now, let's go tell Pop about the success of the latest bank robbery that the members of the great white shark mafia has committed, guys." said Frankie.
"Yeah. We should tell him about it right now." said Lenny.
"Mmm-hmm. Let's go tell him." said Teresa.
The three great white shark siblings begin heading to the office to see their father and tell him about the seven great white shark mobsters have managed to commit another bank robbery in Southside Reef for the third time during the week and that they have managed to steal a lot of money from the bank just like they did from last time. Just as they are, Frankie continues to tease Lenny, and he punches him on the shoulder again.
"Ow!" exclaimed Lenny in pain.
"And let's not forget to tell Pop that Lenny had an accident that he was born." said Frankie.
"Frankie! Knock it off!" exclaimed Teresa.
"What? Just like I already said, I couldn't help myself." said Frankie.
Teresa groaned in annoyance. "Yeah. You couldn't help yourself."
"But I love you guys so much." said Frankie.
"Of course, Frankie. You love us so much." said Lenny in annoyance.
Frankie smirked while Lenny and Teresa were filled with complete annoyance, and the three great white shark siblings continued to head to the office to see their father and tell him that the seven great white shark mobsters have managed to commit another bank robbery and stolen a lot of money from one of the banks in Southside Reef the third time during the week.
In the office, there is a great white shark who is right in front of a fish tank and opened it, and his name is Don Edward Lino, the crime boss of the great white shark mafia and Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa's father. He was adoring his pets in the fish tank who are cute little fish just as he tapped on the glass.
"How are Daddy's little babies doing this morning?" asked Don Lino. "Did you miss Daddy? Have you been doing good for Daddy while I was taking care of some things that were very important? Have you been good for me? Huh? Huh?"
Just as Don Lino was adoring his pets in the fish tank, one of the cute little fish opened his jaws and snapped in front of his snout with its razor-sharp teeth, meaning that the cute little fish are piranhas.
"You see, Sykes? It's a fish-eat-fish world, and it's a really cruel world out there in the ocean." said Don Lino. He gets some fish food from a jar that he's holding and drops into the fish tank for the piranhas to eat. "You either take or you get taken. It's a matter of life or death out there when you face danger sometimes."
The piranhas began eating their food viciously while Don Lino watched them with a smile. After feeding his pet piranhas, Don Lino closes the fish tank. A pufferfish named Sykes who is the owner of the Whale Wash and one of Don Lino's henchmen watched the piranhas eat their food viciously in fear just as he tried not to inflate himself, and he quickly calmed himself down.
"Truer words have never been spoken." said Sykes. "So, is that it? Is the meeting over? Are we finished?"
"Now, you and me, Sykes." said Don Lino just as he put the jar on top of the fish tank. "We've been working together for a long, long, long time. You've been a member of my great white shark mafia for so long, and you've been very faithful to me."
"Please, Don Lino." said Sykes just as he grinned weakly. "It's hardly been like work in the criminal underworld and being a member of your mafia is a lot of hard work."
"Let me finish." said Don Lino just as he tried to explain.
"And I enjoy being part of your mafia as well. I really do" said Sykes.
"Just let me finish." said Don Lino just as he waved his fin. "As you know, I've lived my life for my two sons Lenny and Frankie, and my only daughter Teresa along with my beautiful wife Mildred who is currently at the hospital being treated for leukemia." He began swimming to his desk. "Mildred and I worked together to raise our three kids, protect them, care for them, and teach them."
"You're the best. You're absolutely the best." said Sykes. He then turned to an octopus named Luca who is Don Lino consigliere and a barracuda named Yvete who is Don Lino's caporegime. "Is the boss absolutely the best? Am I right or am I wrong, you guys? Am I right or am I wrong? Give me an answer."
"Sykes, it's all been to prepare…" Don Lino continued.
"Right?" asked Sykes.
"...to prepare my sons and daughter…" Don Lino continued.
"Sorry. I'm so sorry that I've interrupted you, Don Lino." apologized Sykes just as he sat down on a chair that is right in front of the desk.
"That's alright. For the day I retire as the crime boss of the great white shark mafia, and they take over my business and run Southside Reef together." Don Lino continued just as he sat at his desk. "Well, today is that day." Suddenly, Don Lino got frustrated and groaned in annoyance when the record on the record player got stuck and began scratching. "Luca. Fix the record player."
Luca fixes the record player, but he accidentally played the song Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-A-Lot, causing Yvette gasp in shock, and Don Lino and Sykes both stared at him in shock as well. Luca fixes the record player again, and Baby Got Back stopped playing on the record player.
"Hey, boss, big butts. That was Baby Got Back, and it was by the rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot. It's one of my favorite songs ever." said Luca just as he chuckled.
"Seriously? Seriously?! Are you serious, Luca?!" asked Yvette in annoyance.
"Oy vey!" said Don Lino in annoyance just as he did a facepalm. He continued his conversation with Sykes. "Long story short, I'll be retiring as the Don of the great white shark mafia. Frankie, Lenny, and Teresa are gonna take over. From now on, you work for them. Capiche?"
Sykes bursts out laughing. "Lenny? I mean, I completely understand that Frankie is capable of taking over the great white shark mafia and running Southside Reef. Or perhaps the beautiful Teresa. But Lenny? You can't be serious about this!"
"I'm dead serious." said Don Lino. "It takes a lot more than muscle or prettiness to take charge of things. Now Lenny, he has intelligence. And that's something very special. Having brains is something very special."
"Oh, yeah, Lenny's special, alright." said Sykes.
"What does that supposed to mean, huh?" asked Don Lino.
"Nothing! Nothing! It's just nothing!" said Sykes. "I'm just trying to say that Lenny is…" Don Lino suddenly interrupts him.
"Hey, Sykes!" said Don Lino just as he bared his razor-sharp teeth. "I allow you to come in here, have a meeting with you and look you in the eye to tell you what's what and what?"
"What?" asked Sykes.
"What what?" asked Don Lino.
"What what nothing. You said "what" first." said Sykes.
"I didn't say "what" first, I asked you "what"." said Don Lino.
"No, you said "And then what" and I said "what"." said Sykes.
"No. No. I said what what, as in what what!" said Don Lino.
Sykes became confused. "But you said "what" first."
"So, now you're making fun of me about this?! Do you think I'm an idiot?!" asked Don Lino just as he got up.
"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You misunderstood! You got it all wrong!" said Sykes. "I wasn't trying to make fun of you and I don't think you're an idiot, Don Lino! I really mean it!" The meeting was interrupted when Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa entered the office.
"Hey, Pop." Frankie greeted.
"Hi, Pop." Lenny greeted.
"Salutations, Daddy." Teresa greeted.
"Oh, hello, Frankie. Hello, Lenny. Hello, Teresa." Don Lino greeted.
"Sorry, we're late and kept you waiting this morning. We got some good news to tell ya." said Frankie just as he went behind a bar table while Lenny and Teresa sat on two bar stool chairs.
"Well, what's the good news?" asked Don Lino.
"Some of the members of the great white shark mafia have successfully robbed another bank for the third time this week." said Frankie.
"Yeah, they did a really great job in committing a third bank robbery this week, and it was successful." said Teresa.
"And they've managed to steal a lot of money from that bank too." said Lenny. "They've been stealing a lot of money from the banks of the reef lately, and they've been doing a really good job commiting crimes for a very long time."
"Really? Is that true?" asked Don Lino. Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa nodded their heads yes. "Well, that is really good news, and I'm so happy to hear that. I've always known that the members of my mafia have always committed crimes that are so good such as robbing banks."
"We've always known the same too, and we know that you'll be happy to hear the news." said Teresa.
"Oh, and here's some more news, Pop." said Frankie. "Lenny had an accident. He was born. He was born by accident."
Lenny laughed sarcastically. "That's funny, and you're a comic genius for the things that you say about me."
"Ha! Good one, Frankie. What a really funny joke about Lenny." said Teresa sarcastically.
"Look, what I'm trying to say is that your kid isn't actually a killer." whispered Sykes.
"Well, I can assure you that my Lenny is a killer!" said Don Lino just as his muscles bulged under his dorsal fin. "Ya hear me! A cold-blooded killer just like the other sharks are cold-blooded killers! Just take one good look at him!"
Don Lino and Sykes both notice Lenny swinging harmlessly on his bar stool chair which makes a loud squeaky noise while Frankie shakes his head in annoyance and Teresa quietly giggled. Sykes smirked by telling Don Lino that he was absolutely right that Lenny isn't a killer at all.
"Well? What do you have to say to that? Doesn't that prove what I was trying to say about Lenny?" asked Sykes.
Don Lino became frustrated just as he glared at Sykes. "Okay, you know what?! That's it! That's IT! You are OUT!"
"What?! I'm out?!" asked Sykes in fear. Suddenly, he inflates himself while some pillows from the chair that he was sitting in gets stuck in his quills. He spoke in a helium voice. "What do you mean that I'm out?! What does that mean anyway?!"
"It means that you are fired, and you are no longer a member of my mafia!" said Don Lino. He flicked Sykes, which caused the pillows to get unstuck from his quills and sent him crashing into the Titanic Rose Portrait. "And on top of that, since you are fired, you're gonna have to start paying me protection money from now on!"
"Pay you protection money?! For what?!" asked Sykes in fear.
"So, I wouldn't have to order some of the members of my mafia to do something terrible to that little Whale Wash of yours." said Don Lino.
Sykes gasped in fear. "Oh, no! Oh, no! Oh, no!"
Then, Don Lino gave Sykes his famous I'm-a-shark-and-I'm-going-to-devour-you-whole expression just as he bared his razor-sharp teeth which caused Sykes to become filled with complete fear. Sykes deflates himself, manages to get himself unstuck from the Titanic Rose Portrait, and swims out of the office as fast as he could.
Also, if Don Lino thought that his good-natured younger son Lenny was going to be able to become the crime boss of the great white shark mafia and take over Southside Reef along with his older son Lenny and his only daughter Teresa, he must be out of his mind. Just as he began leaving the RMS Titanic in fear, Sykes wondered how long it would take Don Lino find that out.
Later on that day, it is now the afternoon. After having that meeting with Sykes and firing him for criticizing Lenny's behavior, Don Lino is now in the living room sitting on the couch while the seven great white shark mobsters who have robbed one of the banks from Southside Reef are sitting on another couch and have already finished with taking a break, and Don Lino is counting up some of the money that has been stolen.
He congratulates the seven great white shark mobsters for successfully robbing one the banks in Southside Reef and managing to steal a lot of money from there, and for successfully committing robberies in the reef for the third time this week.
Also, Don Lino begins to question about Lenny for not being an aggressive shark just like the other sharks since he is so compassionate just like Sykes has been telling him during his meeting with him from before, and he proceeds to ask the seven great white shark mobsters what they really think about Lenny's behavior.
"Well, I'm really proud that you guys have managed to rob another bank in Southside Reef." said Don Lino. "During your third bank robbery this week, you guys managed to rob 30000 clams. Yesterday, you only robbed 40000 clams. And the day before yesterday, you only robbed 20000 clams. Congratulations for managing to rob a lot of money three times during this week, guys."
"Thank you, Boss." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Thanks, Boss." said great white shark mobster #2.
"Thank you very much, Boss." said great white shark mobster #3.
"You're welcome. I'm really impressed that you've managed to steal millions of clams this week from the banks of the reef, and good work." said Don Lino. "Oh, and may I ask you guys a question."
"Yeah? What is it?" asked great white shark mobster #4.
"It's about my youngest son Lenny." said Don Lino. "You see, when I had that meeting with Sykes from earlier, he thought that Lenny isn't capable of becoming the new Don of the great white shark mafia and running the reef along with his brother Frankie and his sister Teresa when I retire because he's so gentle and isn't vicious. I wanna know if Lenny is vicious enough to take over the family business and run the reef along with his siblings. Is he?"
Once Don Lino asked them about Lenny's behavior, the seven great white shark mobsters' expressions suddenly became filled with surprise and shock, and they already know all about Lenny being so good-hearted and compassionate, and isn't a vicious and bloodthirsty killer just like the other sharks at all. So, they proceed to tell Don Lino about Lenny's behavior.
"Actually, Boss, Lenny is…gentle. He's gentle." said great white shark mobster #5. "Your son Lenny is gentle and he isn't vicious at all."
"Lenny is different from the other sharks. While sharks are usually vicious, Lenny is gentle." said great white shark mobster #6.
"Is that true?" asked Don Lino in surprise.
"Yes. Your son is not like the other sharks." said great white shark mobster #7.
"Well, if Lenny is gentle and isn't vicious at all, then give me some examples." said Don Lino.
"There was a time during one of the traditional Sunday dinners of the Five Families, Lenny released the fish who were gonna be the catch of the day." explained great white shark mobster #1.
"Yeah, on that Sunday dinner, he released those fish. Oh, and he released the crabs who were gonna be the catch of the day of the Sunday dinner too." explained great white shark mobster #2.
"And besides releasing those fish and crabs for Sunday dinner, he also released the seals who were gonna be the catch of the day." explained great white shark mobster #3.
"Lenny released those fish, crabs, and seals at that traditional Sunday dinner, and that was the last Sunday." explained great white shark mobster #4.
"Did Lenny really release those fish, crabs, and seals during that traditional Sunday dinner of the Five Families?" asked Don Lino in surprise. The great white shark mobsters nodded their heads. "If Lenny did release them, then why didn't I get the chance to notice it?"
"Well, maybe he said that he was gonna put some special sauce on those fish, crabs, and seals, but he only said that so he could release them." said great white shark mobster #5.
"Lenny has been releasing catches of the day for quite some time, and he couldn't go through with eating them just like the other sharks would eat them since he has a gentle heart." said great white shark mobster #6.
"Also, Lenny is too gentle to commit any crimes just like the other sharks could commit any crimes such as robbing banks." said great white shark mobster #7.
"Boss, your son Lenny isn't like the other sharks…and he's…different." said great white shark mobster #2.
"We understand that your oldest son Frankie can be the new Don of the great white shark mafia since he's vicious enough." said the other great white shark mobster #5.
"And maybe your only daughter Teresa who looks so stunning can also be the new Don as well." said great white shark mobster #3.
"But we honestly don't think that Lenny can be the new Don due to being so different from the other sharks and isn't a killer at all." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Lenny is a gentle shark. He wouldn't eat and kill anything, and he wouldn't commit any crimes either. He's just different from the other sharks, Boss." said great white shark mobster #6.
Don Lino became filled with complete surprise and shock upon learning that his youngest son Lenny isn't being a cold-blooded killer just like the other sharks, and is a kindhearted shark who is so different. Then, Don Lino's surprised and shocked expression suddenly becomes very angry and disappointed just as he couldn't have Lenny being a kindhearted shark, and he already knows that the members of his great white shark has been telling all about Lenny's behavior lately.
So, Don Lino decides that he should have a conversation about Lenny being a kindhearted shark rather than being a cold-blooded killer, and remind him that if he's gonna succeed him as the crime boss of the great white shark mafia and run Southside Reef along with Frankie and Teresa, he needs to be an aggressive shark just like Frankie and the other sharks.
"Well, I've been hearing things about Lenny being so gentle from the members of my mob. Even Luca and Yvette told me about it as well." said Don Lino. "And Sykes told me about it during our meeting earlier. I guess the things I've been hearing about my son are absolutely right, and I'm gonna talk to him about being so gentle later on and he must be like the other sharks if he's ever gonna take over the family business and run Southside Reef with his brother Frankie and his sister Teresa. I honestly can't have one of my kids being so gentle. I just can't."
