Episode 3- Power

It was the day after the incident at the pier, and Kako and Arthur were both excused from school, so they both were at his house to work things out and understand what happened. "So you're an... Atlantean? I thought that was just a myth?" Arthur was shaking his head in unsurely, "Apparently, it's not. This golden pendant is a contact, or a link between me and my mother. My biological mother."

His father walked in saying, "I was given Arthur from an unknown person. He seemed to be soaking in salt water. All I was given was a note to take care of you and that pendant. I should've told you about it and I'm really-"

"I know Dad." Kako was rubbing her head, saying, "So you contacted the fish. Atlantis...wow. That ceratinly explains the whole swimming ordeal." Arthur and his father looked at each other and Tom said ,"Kako, this is a huge secret. No one can know." Kako nodded and said, "Of course! You have my word. I don't want everyone finding out all of this." Tom smiled and said "That's good. I don't want people snooping around my son." Arthur nodded and smiled at his accepting father and girlfriend.

Arthur and Kako decided to finally volunteer together at the SSMRRC (see chapter 2). They saw Dr. Rose there, watching a whale from through the tank. "What brings you two here? Don't you have school." "We're excused for today since we were involved in the fire that burned the old pier yesterday." Dr. Rose was surpised, saying ,"Oh my. Well, as long as you're alright. Here, check this out." They all went back to the tank nd saw the whale. "This isthe Killer Whale you guys saw at teh demonstration a few days ago. Her name is Moira, and she was discovered caught in a chemical spill near Port-Gotham. We've been keeping her here for about a year. She seems to enjoy it here. Mybe she's just too sheltered to go back into the ocean."

All the while Arthur was staring into the eyes of the large Moira, feeling what she felt. Arthur said, "She's afraid. She doesn't want to be hurt again by another spill." Dr. Rose was shocked at his empathy. Kako quickly tried to cover, saying, "Ummm, that MUSt be it, eh doctor?" They both nodded.

After an entire day of quality time, working with the animals and each other, Art and Kako walked out together laughing, her on his arm, saying, "And when the seastar wouldn't get off your hand! Ha ha!" He laughed and said, "That's not as bad as your shirt getting all-" They bumped into another girl. She was beautiful with blonde hair. Arthur stared in shock, and Kako said, "Sorry." Arthur stayed in shock and said, "a...a...ALEX!"

She rolled her eyes and said, "Oohhh, so you still remember me? That's good." Kako looked confused and asid, "You know her?" She said, "I only went to elementary school with y'all!" Alex hugged Arthur and he said, "Oh my gosh! It's so good to see- when did you- you looks so- oh my gosh!" Alex smiled and laughed saying "You're still such a dork." James ran up to them, huffing and puffing, saying, "I gasp tried to gasp stop her. gsp She can RUN! gasp" Alex rolled her eyes and said, "So is he!"

Alex stuck out her hand at Kako. "You're Kako, aren't you? The names Alex. You popular socialites don't remember us fifth grade dorks." Aelx, James and Art all went together to the local hangout to catch up, yelling and askign questions. Kako was left behind. Alex said, "Hey Kay! You comin?" She nodded and ran to her. As Kako, James and Art were leaving, Alex saw that aman was hding in the trees. She looked closer to see him walk away. She eerily went to catch up with her old buddies.
