When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Chapter 5: Oscar The Sharkslayer
Later on that day at the RMS Titanic, Luca and Yvette has already arrived back there, and they are now informing Don Lino about how the sea otter owner has failed to pay him protection money and how they end up wrecking up her bodega along with the five great white shark mobsters from earlier since she's one of his many victims who has to pay him protection money so their businesses won't get wrecked by them in the living room. Don Lino sat on a chair, and Luca and Yvette sat on the couch during the conversation.
Also, besides having a conversation about how the sea otter owner has failed to pay what she owes Don Lino and her bodega end up getting wrecked by Luca, Yvette, and the five great white shark mobsters from earlier, they have a conversation about how Frankie will tutor Lenny on how to become a cold-blooded killer with Teresa's help and how Teresa will begin encouraging Lenny to become a cold-blooded killer just like Frankie.
"So, you guys really did wreck up her bodega since she has failed to pay what she owes me?" asked Don Lino.
"Yeah." said Luca.
"We sure did." said Yvette.
"And she has been using the protection money for herself and family, and completely forgotten to pay me the protection money like she was supposed to?" asked Don Lino.
"She sure did." said Luca.
"Yes." said Yvette.
"Good work, guys. You guys had to wreck up her bodega since she has failed to pay me protection money like my other victims who pay protection money." said Don Lino. "If those victims fail to pay what they owe me, then the members of my mafia will wreck up their businesses. Also, if those victims were using the protection money for something else such as for themselves and their own families, then they don't get any other chances because they only get one chance and that's it."
"Mmm-hmm." said Luca.
"Absolutely." said Yvette.
"So, about my youngest son Lenny, he's gonna learn how to be a shark today." said Don Lino.
"Really?" asked Luca.
"He is?" asked Yvette.
"Yeah, really. He is gonna learn how to be a shark when my oldest son Frankie tutors him, and my only daughter Teresa is gonna help him out." said Don Lino. "Also, Teresa is gonna stop encouraging Lenny to be different from the other sharks."
"She is?" asked Luca.
"Really?" asked Yvette.
"Yes, really. She is gonna stop encouraging Lenny to be so different like she always has been." said Don Lino. "Whether they like it or not, Lenny is gonna learn how to be a killer and Teresa is gonna encourage him to be a killer, and those two are gonna do exactly what I say because I'm their father and I'm the Don."
"Well, that's a good idea, boss. Your oldest son Frankie should tutor Lenny on how to become a killer." said Luca.
"And with your only daughter Teresa's help. Also, it's a good idea that Teresa should stop encouraging Lenny to be so different like she always did." said Yvette.
"Thank you so much for agreeing with me, Luca and Yvette." said Don Lino. "I honestly think it's a good idea if my youngest son and my only daughter would go through with doing those things today, and they will go through with doing those things because they must do exactly what I tell them to do."
"Yeah, you're right, Lenny and Teresa are gonna do what you say." said Luca.
"You are their father and you're the crime boss of the great whites, they must do what you tell them to do, boss." said Yvette.
"I just had a conversation with Lenny about his behavior and how I've been hearing things about his behavior from the members of my mafia last night." said Don Lino. "Including you two. It's true, Lenny is a gentle and kindhearted shark and wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anything. I've been telling him a thousand times that it's a tradition for sharks to be killers, and our family has been following the tradition for many years."
"Well, while the members of the great white shark mafia would go through with that kind of crime, your youngest son Lenny wouldn't." said Luca. "Besides that he wouldn't kill and eat anything which is part of the tradition of the sharks, Lenny would never commit the crime of wrecking up somebody's business if they fail to pay what they owe you so we wouldn't have to wreck up their businesses as well as committing other crimes such as robbing banks."
"Lenny wouldn't do anything to wreck up somebody's business if they fail to pay what they owe you, boss." said Yvette. "Your youngest son is way too kind to commit any crimes in Southside Reef such as wrecking up somebody's business if they fail to pay you protection money and robbing banks, and he would never do those kinds of things 'cause he isn't anything like the members of the mafia besides killing and eating anything which part of the sharks' tradition."
"That's right, Lenny is way too kind to follow the tradition the sharks have been following for so long, and he wouldn't commit any crimes either." said Don Lino. "If my son is gonna become the new crime boss of the great whites along with his brother and sister, then he must learn how to become a shark and learn how to follow the sharks' tradition when Frankie tutors him with Teresa's help today. He's gonna learn how to become a killer whenever he likes it or not and Teresa is gonna encourage him to become a killer whenever she likes it or not."
"Yeah, but what if your youngest son and your only daughter don't go through with those things like you ordered them to go through?" asked Luca.
"What if your two kids don't go through with those things today like you told them to?" asked Yvette.
"My two kids are gonna go through with those things, and they will because they're gonna do exactly what I say." said Don Lino. "Lenny is my son and Teresa is my daughter, and I decide what's best for them. Lenny is gonna learn how to be a shark when Frankie tutors him today with Teresa's help, and Teresa is gonna encourage Lenny to become a killer. Both of them are gonna go through with those things whenever they like it or not, and they're gonna do exactly what I tell them to do because I'm their father and I'm the crime boss of the great white shark mafia."
"Okay. If you say so, boss." said Luca.
"Alright. If you say so." said Yvette.
"Frankie is getting ready to tutor Lenny with Teresa's help, and he's about to take him out to the reef to show him on how to hunt on what the sharks would usually hunt." said Don Lino. "Fish, crabs, seals, and anything else. My oldest son is preparing to tutoring my youngest son with my only daughter's help, and my youngest son and my only daughter are gonna go through doing those things because that's an order."
"That's right." said Luca.
"Of course." said Yvette.
"Luca, Yvette, the conversation is now over. I wish to be alone right now." said Don Lino.
"Alright, boss." said Luca.
"Okay." said Yvette.
Luca and Yvette then both get up from the couch and they both leave the living room. Once Luca and Yvette has left the living room, Don Lino is left alone in the living room just as he still sat on the chair, and he continues to plan to have Frankie to tutor Lenny on how to be a killer and continues to plan to have Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer as well as he continues to expect Lenny and Teresa to go through what he wants them to do since he has to do what he tells them to do and he decides what's best for them.
However, while he continues to plan on having Frankie to tutor Lenny on how to become a shark and continues to plan to have Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer as well as continues to expect Lenny and Teresa to go through with those things, he begins to feel depressed and regretful about how he has been behaving towards Lenny and Teresa lately and how he has been too hard on them.
Then, Don Lino gets up from the chair and swims towards to one of the walls in the living room that is full of photo frames, and the photo frames shows him, his wife Mildred, his three children Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa when they used to be young shark pups, and his parents Leonardo and Shelly being very happy together.
He begins staring at the photo frames of him and his family being very happy together on the wall in complete depression and regret. Suddenly, Don Lino begins shedding tears just as he was very depressed and regretful for behaving towards Lenny and Teresa and for being too hard on them lately, and he quickly wiped away his tears from his eyes.
Even though he wants what's best for them, and expects Lenny to learn how to be a shark when Frankie tutors him with Teresa's help and expects Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer, Don Lino really felt depressed and regretful about how he was behaving towards them and how he has been too hard on them, and he has always loved Lenny and Teresa very much.
Meanwhile, at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean, Oscar is now tied up to a rock and he's now being tortured by Ernie and Bernie for what happened back at the seahorse race while he kept screaming and struggling just as he is now bound and gagged. Also, Ernie and Bernie sang the song Three Little Birds by Bob Marley while they torture Oscar by using their electric stingers.
"This is how you sing the hit song Three Little Birds from the 80s, Oscar." said Ernie.
"Yeah. It's the correct way to sing the song." said Bernie.
"Sykes, he said he likes you, mon. He said he was gonna take it easy on you and won't be hard on you at all." said Ernie just as he zapped Oscar's cheeks.
"But Sykes is not here. He isn't around right now, mon." said Bernie.
"So True." said Ernie.
"Ernie, can I ask you something? Let me ask you a question." said Bernie.
"Yeah, mon? Go on. You can ask me anything." said Ernie.
"Why do our electric stingers sting other people, but they have no effect on me or you?" asked Bernie while he zapped Oscar's head. He was about to zapp Oscar again, but he accidentally zapped Ernie on the chest which caused him to scream and fall on the ground. "Ernie! I didn't mean it, Ernie. I didn't mean it, mon. Ernie. It was just an accident. I didn't mean it." Bernie swims up to Ernie to see if he's okay, but Ernie begins laughing, meaning that he wasn' harmed at all while Bernie became relieved. "Ernie, you made a joke. You were only joking. Good one, mon. Good joke. Respect."
"Respect. Bloodfire, and that joke I just pulled was so funny." said Ernie.
"Yeah, it sure was, mon. It sure was." said Bernie.
Oscar stared at Ernie and Bernie and frowned while knowing that they won't go easy on him at all and how he's in big trouble, and he frowned while he was being tortured by Ernie and Bernie as well as still being bound and gagged in the seaweed and tied up to the rock.
At the same time, Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa leave the RMS Titanic, and Frankie is now getting ready to tutor Lenny on how to become a killer and how to follow the sharks' traditions to become killers with Teresa's help and he also expects Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer so he could make Don Lino happy.
While Frankie is getting ready to tutor Lenny on how to become a killer with Teresa's help, Lenny honestly still doesn't want to go through with learning how to become a shark since he rather be himself, and Teresa honestly still doesn't want to go through with start encouraging Lenny to become a killer since she has already accept Lenny for who he is.
Both Lenny and Teresa honestly still doesn't want to go through with Don Lino wants them to go through with, and even though their relationship has been strained with him due to Lenny being so different and Teresa always encouraging him to be different from the other sharks, they've always love him very much and they were very close to him during their childhood before their relationship with him became strained.
"Frankie, why can't Pop just listen to me for once? Why wouldn't he just listen to me?" asked Lenny.
"Yeah, and why wouldn't he just listen to me too? Why can't Daddy listen to me for once too, huh?" asked Teresa.
"You know I can't do this kind of thing. It's so ridiculous." said Lenny.
"He really doesn't have to do this, Frankie. I know I don't have to do this either." said Teresa.
"If Pop is gonna be happy, then Lenny has gotta kill something and you must encourage him to kill something." said Frankie.
"Yeah, but he still doesn't have to do this and I don't have to do this either. Frankie, Lenny's right, this is so ridiculous. It really is." said Teresa.
"Oh, yes he does. He does have to do this, and you have to do this too, Sis." said Frankie. "Besides, Lenny's gotta change and he needs to make Pop happy. Also, you need to encourage Lenny to change somehow and you need to make Pop happy."
"How about I can find a very old sick fish and just wait for the perfect time?" asked Lenny. "Or I can find a very old sick crab or a very old sick seal and just wait for the perfect time? Can I do that? Please? Please? Please?"
Frankie groaned in annoyance. "Things are getting around what you just did at the restaurant last evening, and you know exactly how a fish, a crab, and a seal love to talk. This, that, the other, and then boom. Forget about it, you're dead. And your reputation is down in the abyss with the bottom feeders."
"Okay, I actually can't understand Mr. Wiseguy most of the time, so you'll have to be more specific about this whole tutoring." said Lenny.
"Oh, you want me to be specific about tutoring. I'll be specific about tutoring. Try to be a shark for once in your life!" said Frankie just as he smacked Lenny in his head.
Teresa groaned in annoyance. "Frankie, will you please stop hitting Lenny?! Cut it out! Stop it! If you don't stop hitting him, then I'm gonna beat you senseless!"
Frankie laughed mockingly. "My little sister's gonna beat me senseless if I don't stop hitting Lenny. Well, I would like to see you try, Teresa."
"I am gonna beat you senseless if you don't knock it off." said Teresa. "Besides, he still doesn't have to learn how to be a shark to make Daddy happy, and I still don't have to encourage him to be a shark to make Daddy happy either."
"For the last time, Teresa. He does have to learn how to be a shark and you have to encourage him to be a shark." said Frankie. "All of this is for making Pop happy if it happens successfully."
Lenny whimpered. "Oh, what am I gonna do?"
Frankie sighed. "Lenny, forget about it, okay? We'll just do a couple of practice runs, I'll just tutor you with Teresa's help, Pop will be happy, you're a shark, and life will go on and things will turn out so well. Capiche?"
Lenny nodded. "Okay. Okay. Capiche."
Teresa groaned in annoyance. "Alright. Capiche."
Frankie suddenly covered Lenny and Teresa's mouths. "Wait, wait, wait. Wait a minute. Hold on. Bingo." He, Lenny, and Teresa quickly notice Oscar still getting tortured by Ernie and Bernie from the distance. "You see that? Right over there is TV dinner. That could be the first main course during the tutoring." He, Lenny, and Teresa hide right behind a mound of sand. "Don't get any easier than this at all."
Lenny began concentrating. "Alright. C'mon. Lenny, you can do this. Lenny, you can do this. Lenny, you can do this. Frankie, I can do this. What if I can't do this?"
"Then don't bother coming back home if you screw this up." said Frankie.
"Good point. Alright, I won't screw this up. I won't." said Lenny just as began swimming towards Oscar.
"Hey, why did you have to tell him that? Why did you tell him not to bother coming back home if he screws this up?" asked Teresa in shock. Frankie just shrugged his shoulders.
Back with Oscar, he is still being tortured by Ernie and Bernie who are still using their electric stingers to torture him with while he's still being being bound and gagged in the seaweed and tied up to the rock.
"Hit him in the tail again. I like the funny face when he gets hit in the tail." said Bernie.
"Okay. I'll hit him in the tail again." said Ernie. He zaps Oscar in the tail again, causing him to make a funny face. "I like it when he makes a funny face when I hit him in the tail too, it's so funny."
"Yeah, it is so funny, mon." said Bernie. Suddenly, he saw Lenny coming right towards them. "Ernie! Ernie, look right over there!"
Ernie quickly saw Lenny coming right towards them as well. "Oh, no, mon! Oh, no!"
"Blow out!" said Ernie and Bernie.
Ernie and Bernie both leave, and they also both leave the bound and gagged Oscar behind in the wastelands. Once Ernie and Bernie had left him behind in the wastelands, Oscar began struggling to get out of the seaweed that he had been tied up in. He keeps struggling and manages to get one of his fins out of the seaweed, and he removes the other seawood off of his mouth.
"Um…Guys? Guys? Guys, please don't leave me alone in the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean!" Oscar called out. "C'mon, you can leave me out here all by myself! There could be sharks out here hunting for their prey!"
Suddenly, Oscar felt a peculiar breath right behind him, causing to become filled with fear. He slowly turned himself around, and saw Lenny was about to eat him. Oscar began screaming in fear once Lenny was about to eat him and moved around like crazy just as he struggled to get out of the seaweed, but he was unable to get out the seaweed and kept moving around like crazy while he attempted to escape.
Lenny closed his mouth and became concerned. "Oh, no! Wait! Wait a minute! Please, calm down! Just calm down! I'm sorry! No! No! I'm not gonna…"
"Lenny!" Frankie called out.
"What?" asked Lenny.
"Like this. Snap your jaws like this." said Frankie. He showed Lenny to snap his jaws like a shark while Teresa shook her head in annoyance.
"Oh, no!" said Lenny. He took a deep breath and licked Oscar, but he became filled with disgust and revulsion just as he made a face.
Oscar groaned. "Oh, just get it over with! Just do it already!" He held up his free fin. "Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Do me a favor! Don't chew me! Please, don't chew me! I'm not made for that, and I might get you sick. I might make you throw up if you try to chew me. So, please don't chew me."
Lenny stared at Oscar for a moment, and he doubted that he could lick him again without trying to vomit. So, couldn't go through with eating Oscar since he has a kind heart and wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anything, and decides to help free Oscar and save him.
"Look, I'm not gonna eat you and I'm not gonna lick you again. I promise." said Lenny.
"Oh, c'mon! Don't do this! Don't do the whole head trip with me!" exclaimed Oscar.
"Just be quiet." said Lenny through his gritted teeth. "Listen to me, alright. Don't move until I tell you to." Lenny suddenly opened his mouth, showing his razor-sharp teeth.
"Back it up! Back it up! Back it up!" Oscar yelled out just as he closed his eyes..
Lenny made a huge lunge toward Oscar. But instead of eating him alive, Lenny bit through the seaweed that tied Oscar to the rock. Oscar slowly opened his eyes, and he saw Lenny pretending to eat him and thrashed around to make clouds of sand, much to his surprise.
While Lenny was pretending to eat Oscar, Frankie and Teresa watched the whole thing from behind the mound of sand, and Frankie became delighted just as he thought that he was finally learned how to be a shark and Teresa became filled with surprise just as she thought Lenny has decided if he was going to through with learning how to be a shark.
"That's it, Lenny! You're doing a good job!" cheered Frankie. "There you go, buddy! Wave those fins, brother! Dig in! Enjoy the first main course of the tutoring! You're getting the hang of it already, and your first attempt at killing and eating something such as a fish is going so well already! Dig it and enjoy the first main course!"
"Wait a minute! Is he really eating that little fish, Frankie?" asked Teresa.
"Well, of course he is. He's doing it, Sis. He's learning how to be a shark already." said Frankie. "Pop is gonna be so happy when he learns that Lenny is learning how to be a shark and when he hears that his first main course was a success."
Frankie and Teresa both kept watching Lenny pretending to eat Oscar just as Frankie continued to think that he was eating Oscar for real just as he was very delighted and Teresa continued to think he was eating Oscar for real as well just as she was filled with surprise.
Suddenly, Teresa's surprised expression quickly became complete shock just as she couldn't believe that Lenny would go through with learning how to become a killer even though he doesn't want to go through with it while she also doesn't want to go through with starting to encourage him to become a killer. She begins to question if Lenny would actually go through with learning how to become a killer or still doesn't want to go through it.
"Lenny, are you really eating that fish? Are you really gonna go through with learning how to be a shark? Are you?" Teresa thought to herself.
Back with Lenny, he continued to pretend to eat Oscar while he pretended to growl and pretended to thrash himself around to make clouds of sand. Also, Oscar is still very confused about what Lenny is trying to do.
"Look, I'm just pretending to do this so you'll have a chance to get away. I'm just trying to help you out, little fish." said Lenny.
"Huh?" asked Oscar.
"When you turn around, you take off and swim as fast as you can." said Lenny. He turns himself around while the clouds of sand begin to disappear. "Mmm. Mmm. This fish tastes just like lasagna. Mmm. Mmm." He pretended to eat Oscar.
"Oh, no! Seriously? Seriously?" asked Frankie in annoyance just as he did a facepalm.
Suddenly, the clouds of sand disappear, and Lenny turns himself around and sees Oscar is still there, much to his confusion. Frankie and Teresa both notice Oscar is still there as well and they both learn that Lenny hasn't eaten them at all, much to Frankie's disappointment and Teresa's amazement.
Once she and Frankie both notice that Lenny didn't eat Oscar at all, Teresa became greatly relieved just as she knows that Lenny still doesn't want to go through with eating and killing Oscar since he's one of those sharks who are good-natured and compassionate while she's one of those sharks as well, and she knows that she still doesn't want to go through start encouraging Lenny to become a killer since she has always loved Lenny just the way he is.
Also, Teresa is very glad that Lenny didn't eat Oscar at all and she quickly realized that he was only pretending to eat Oscar so he could save him. While Teresa was very happy to see that Lenny was actually trying to save Oscar and knew that he still didn't want to go through with learning how to become a killer, Frankie wasn't very happy at all just as he saw Lenny didn't eat Oscar at all and he was only pretending to eat Oscar so he could save him, and Frankie became very angry and fed up at Lenny's friendly and kindhearted nature.
"What did I tell you? Did you listen to what I just said to you?" asked Lenny.
"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't get what you were trying to tell me! You want me to go now!" said Oscar.
"What the heck are you doing? Just go! Save yourself already!" exclaimed Lenny.
"That's it, Lenny!" growled Frankie. "I've had enough of you being so reluctant to learn how to be a killer, and I've had enough of you being so reluctant to kill and eat anything! I've had enough of all of it! If you want something done right, do it yourself! I'm gonna eat that fish myself since you're so reluctant to do so!"
Then, Frankie begins swimming towards Oscar to eat him himself since Lenny wouldn't go through with eating him, causing Lenny and Teresa to become filled with complete shock as well as Oscar.
"What?! Frankie, are you crazy?! Don't do this! Wait a minute! Stop! Please, don't do this, Frankie!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Oh, no!" exclaimed Oscar.
"Hurry swim! Swim away as fast as you can, little fish!" exclaimed Lenny. "No, Frankie, wait a minute! Wait! Wait! Don't do this! Please!"
Oscar kept hopping around really fast just as Frankie began chasing him, and Frankie ignored Lenny and Teresa's pleas not to kill and eat Oscar. Frankie got closer to Oscar and was about to catch him in his razor-sharp teeth so he could eat him, but suddenly, a large anchor appeared from out of nowhere and crushed Frankie. Frankie's jaws slammed shut right, and he hit on the ground with a thud.
Ernie and Bernie kept swimming away until they heard a loud crashing sound in the distance of the wastelands, and they turned themselves around and saw a large cloud of sand, causing them to become filled with surprise.
Back with Oscar, he is now out of the seaweed that he has been tied up in and he is now crouching himself down on the ground in complete fear while he checked to see that Frankie was still chasing him, but he quickly noticed that he had stopped chasing him. Lenny and Teresa slowly swam up to Frankie just as the sand began clearing up, and they became filled with complete shock upon seeing him that he got crushed by the anchor after the sand had cleared up.
"Oh…my…gosh." said Teresa in shock.
Lenny gasped in shock. "Frankie!"
Lenny uses his razor-sharp teeth to cut through the chain of the anchor, and he removed the anchor off of Frankie and tossed the anchor aside while Oscar was still crouching down on the ground in fear.
Frankie has been injured after getting crushed by the anchor, and Lenny then begins cradling the injured Frankie in his fins along with Teresa who also begins cradling the injured Frankie in her fins.
"Lenny…Teresa…" said Frankie weakly just as he coughed. "Lenny, Teresa, is that you? Are you two there?"
"We're here, Frankie." said Lenny.
"Frankie, we're right here. We're right here with you." Teresa.
"Are you okay?" asked Lenny.
"Please be okay. Please be okay. Please be okay." said Teresa.
"Come closer, you two…" said Frankie weakly.
"Yes, what is it?" asked Lenny.
"What is it, Frankie?" asked Teresa.
"I don't feel okay at all…I'm so cold…I feel so cold…" said Frankie weakly.
"That's just because we're cold-blooded since we're sharks." said Lenny. "Frankie slaps him. "OW!"
"Hey!" exclaimed Teresa.
"Moron…" said Frankie just as he coughed. He then succumbs to his injuries after getting crushed by the anchor and he dies.
"No! No, no, no! Frankie…" said Teresa just as she began shedding tears.
"Frankie, no. No, no, no." said Lenny just as he began shedding tears. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He begins crying and begins to mourn the loss of Frankie.
"I…I…I can't believe it! I just can't! Frankie has died! He died! Our brother is dead!" said Teresa. She begins crying and begins to mourn the loss of Frankie. "WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!"
"Frankie is dead! He's now dead! Our brother has died! I can't believe it either!" said Lenny just as he continued to cry.
"Frankie, we love you. We always loved you." said Teresa just as she continued to cry.
"Yes, we've always loved you, Frankie." said Lenny.
Lenny and Teresa continued crying and mourned over the loss of Frankie. Then, they stared at each other just as they began expressing how much they will miss Frankie after he got killed by the anchor. Also, besides expressing how much they will miss Frankie, they also begin to express their love for Frankie and how much they both have always loved him, and they both begin remembering the good times they had with him during their childhood.
Lenny's Flashback
A long time ago at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean, young Lenny is being bullied by a group of three anglerfish children who have taken his stuffed octopus with a hat and mockingly tossing it around to each other in one of the hills of sands that is located in the wastelands.
Young Lenny attempts to get his stuffed octopus back from the three anglerfish bullies, but she's unable to get it back since they kept tossing it to each other before he could have the chance to get it back.
"Hey! Gimme back my octopus, guys! Give it back to me! Give it! Give it!" exclaimed young Lenny.
"Sorry, but if you want your dumb octopus back, you gotta catch it first!" said anglerfish bully #1.
"But your making it difficult for me to catch it, and my octopus not dumb! He's something very special!" exclaimed young Lenny.
"Yeah, your octopus is very special. It's very special at being so dumb!" said anglerfish bully #2.
"It's not a waste and it's not dumb either! My octopus is very special, and it has been a gift from my Pop for my birthday!" exclaimed young Lenny.
"Well, if your octopus was a gift from your father, then it's still dumb and we don't care what you say about it!" said anglerfish bully #3.
"Well, I don't care what you say either!" exclaimed young Lenny. "My octopus is very special and it's not dumb at all! My Pop gave it to me as a gift for my birthday, and I love my octopus so much! So gimme my octopus back right now! Give it back!"
"If you want it back, you gotta catch it first!" said anglerfish bully #3.
"Catch it if you want it back!" said anglerfish bully #2.
"You must catch it if you want it back so badly!" said anglerfish bully #3.
"Knock it off, you guys! Gimme back my octopus!" exclaimed young Lenny.
Young Lenny continued to get his stuffed octopus back from the three anglerfish bullies, but he's still unable to do so since they kept tossing it before he could have the chance to get it back.
While young Lenny is being bullied by the three anglerfish bullies and is still trying to get his stuffed octopus, young Frankie suddenly appeared and he glared at the three anglerfish bullies for bullying young Lenny. So, he decides to help young Lenny out with getting his stuffed octopus from the three anglerfish bullies.
The three anglerfish continued to bully young Lenny and tossed his stuffed octopus around to each other while they continued to mock him until young Frankie swam up to them to stop them from bullying young Lenny and tossing his stuffed octopus around to mock him, and he loudly whistles on his fin to get their attention as well as getting young Lenny's attention.
"Hey!" exclaimed young Frankie.
"What?" asked the three anglerfish bullies.
"Huh?" asked young Lenny.
"You guys leave my little brother alone!" exclaimed young Frankie.
"Oh, yeah? Then who's gonna make us?" asked anglerfish bully #1.
"I am." said young Frankie just as he cracked his fins.
Then, young Frankie begins beating up the three anglerfish bullies to defend young Lenny from them, and young Lenny watches him beat up the three anglerfish bullies in amazement. Young Frankie punches anglerfish bully #1, young Frankie whacks anglerfish bully #2 with his tail-fin, and young Frankie tackles anglerfish bully #3 with his head.
Young Frankie continues to beat up three anglerfish bullies to defend young Lenny from them, and while he does so, he manages to get young Lenny's stuffed octopus from them. Soon, young Frankie gets finished with beating up the three anglerfish bullies, and he manages to scare them off and they swim away in complete fear while screaming like girls.
"That guy is crazy!" exclaimed anglerfish bully #1 in fear.
"Let's get out of here!" exclaimed anglerfish bully #2 in fear.
"C'mon! Before we're dead meat! Let's go!" exclaimed anglerfish bully #3 in fear.
Once the three anglerfish bullies leave in fear after young Frankie manages to scare them off by beating them up so he could defend young Lenny, young Lenny shows his gratitude to young Frankie for defending him from the three anglerfish bullies and getting his stuffed octopus back from them.
"Yeah, you better swim, you three jerks!" exclaimed young Frankie. He cleared his throat and turned to young Lenny. "I think this belongs to you, little brother." He gives the stuffed octopus back to young Lenny.
"Wow, thank you, Frankie. Thank you very much. I appreciate that you got my octopus back from those three brutes. Thank you." said young Lenny just as he smiled.
"Oh, your welcome, Lenny. I had to get your octopus back from those guys 'cause I already know it means a lot to you." said young Frankie just as he smiled. "That octopus was a gift from Pop for your birthday, and I wouldn't let those guys toss it around to bully you like that."
"I wouldn't let those guys toss my octopus around to bully me too, and it's true that my octopus really means a lot to me since Pop gave it to me as a birthday gift." said young Lenny. "Also, I appreciate that you kicked those guys' butts and taught them a harsh lesson for me. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Nobody messes with my little brother and gets away with it, and I would be there when you need me to help you out." said young Frankie.
"I already know that. Frankie, you're the best brother I could ever ask for." said young Lenny.
"Thank you for saying that to me. And you're the best brother I could ever ask for too, Lenny." said young Frankie.
"Thank you for saying that to me too. I love you, Frankie." said young Lenny.
"I love you too, Lenny." said young Frankie.
Then, young Lenny and young Frankie warmly embraced each other just as they express their sibling love for each other, and young Lenny continued to show his gratitude to young Frankie for defending him from the three anglerfish bullies and getting his stuffed octopus back from him while young Frankie was glad to be there when young Lenny needed his help.
Teresa's Flashback
Another long time ago at the RMS Titanic, young Teresa is swimming around the hallways of the RMS Titanic putting up many decorations on the walls for the upcoming traditional event that is known as the Feast Of San Gennaro which has been celebrated by the Five Families every year, and she is also carrying a big box full of the many decorations while she put the many decorations on the walls of the hallways as well.
Also, some members of the great white shark mafia are putting up many decorations on the walls of the hallways of the RMS Titanic for the upcoming Feast Of San Gennaro and carrying big boxes full of the many decorations while they put the seashell decorations on the walls of the hallways along with young Teresa.
Just as young Teresa is putting up the many decorations on the walls of the hallways of the RMS Titanic along with some of the members of the great white shark mafia for the upcoming traditional festival of the Feast Of San Gennaro, she doesn't look where she's going, and she accidentally bumps into a nearby table and she accidentally drops the box full of the many decorations on the floor, causing most of the decorations from the move to fall on the floor.
Once she has accidentally dropped the box full of the many decorations on the floor which caused most of the decorations from the box to fall on the floor, young Teresa became very frustrated, and she proceeds to collect most of the decorations that fell on the floor and put them back in the box so she could continue with putting them on the walls of the hallways for the upcoming festival of the Feast Of San Gennaro.
Young Teresa groaned in annoyance. "Oh, great! This is just great! I've been putting up a lot of decorations on the walls for the Feast Of San Gennaro traditional festival, and I've dropped them on the floor. By accident. Oh, it's gonna take me a while to get all of these decorations back in the box, and it's a lot of hard work to put up all of these decorations on the walls since the Feast Of San Gennaro is one of the most important events that everybody celebrates every year." She groaned in annoyance again.
While young Teresa is now collecting most of the decorations from the box that fell on the floor and put them back in the box so she could continue with putting them on the walls of the hallways for the upcoming Feast Of San Gennaro, young Frankie was swimming throughout the hallway while he was heading to one of the bathrooms of the RMS Titanic so he could start cleaning it up with a cleaning brush and a cleaning spray which is part of his chores, and he suddenly saw young Teresa collecting most of the decorations off of the floor and putting them back in the box.
Also, he noticed that young Teresa looked very frustrated while she's putting most of the decorations back in the box, and he decided to help her out by putting most of the decorations that had fallen on the floor back in the box just as he put down the cleaning brush and the cleaning spray on the floor.
"Hey, Sis." young Frankie greeted.
Young Teresa quickly noticed young Frankie. "Oh, salutations, Frankie."
"It looks like you're getting all of those decorations back in that box, and it looks like you need some help." said young Frankie.
"Yes. Yes, I am putting all of these decorations back in that box, and I do need some help." said young Teresa. "These decorations are for the Feast Of San Gennaro festival, and Daddy and Mom asked me to put up all of these on the walls along with the other kids. But I end up dropping these on the floor by accident, and now I have to put them back in the box. I really need some help getting these back in the box, and it's gonna take me a while to do this if I don't get any help."
"Well, I can help." said young Frankie.
"Really?" asked young Teresa.
"Yeah. I can help you out with getting those decorations back in the box since it's gonna take you a while to put all of those back without getting any help at all." said young Frankie. "Besides, I would like to help you out, and I'll do anything to help anybody out. Including my little siblings."
"Well, okay. You can help me out, Frankie. I appreciate your help and I really need some help putting these decorations back in the box." said young Teresa. "Also, I already know that you would do anything to help anybody else, including me and Lenny."
"Okay. Now let's get all of these decorations back in the box." said young Frankie.
"Right." said young Teresa.
Young Frankie begins to help young Teresa to collect most of the decorations that fell on the floor, and young Teresa smiled at young Frankie for helping her out since she needed it while young Frankie smiled at her.
Soon, they both get finished with collecting most of the decorations that fell on the floor and put them back in the box, and young Teresa showed her gratitude to young Frankie for helping her out with collecting most of the decorations and putting them back in the box since she needed some help to do so.
"Thank you for helping me out, Frankie." said young Teresa just as she smiled.
"You're welcome, Sis." said young Frankie as he smiled.
"So, I should really continue with putting these decorations on the walls since Daddy and Mom asked me to along with the members of the mafia." said young Teresa.
"And I should really get to the bathroom since Pop and Mom asked me to clean it." said young Frankie. "I'm doing my chores right now, and if I don't do my chores, then I'm gonna get in big trouble. So, I really need to do my chores and I can't goof off from my chores. Besides, I would never goof off from my chores and I would always do my chores."
"Okay. I'll see ya later, and good luck doing your chores." said young Teresa. "Also, I already know that you would do your chores like you're supposed to rather than goofing off from them."
"Thanks. Bye, Sis. I'll see ya later too." said young Frankie.
"You're welcome. Bye." said young Teresa.
"Bye." said young Frankie.
Then, young Teresa gives young Frankie a kiss on the cheek just as she continued showing her gratitude to young Frankie for helping her out with collecting most of the decorations that fell on the floor and put them back in the box, and young Frankie nuzzled her head just as he was glad to help her out when she needed it.
Young Teresa and young Frankie waved bye to each other, and young Teresa continued putting up the many decorations on the walls for the upcoming festival of the Feast Of San Gennaro while young Frankie picked up the cleaning brush and the cleaning spray from the floor and continued heading to one of the bathrooms of the RMS Titanic so he could start cleaning it with the cleaning brush and the cleaning spray which is part of his chores.
End Flashbacks
Lenny and Teresa get finished with remembering the good times they had with Frankie during their childhood, and they continue staring at each other just as they continue expressing how much they will miss Frankie after he got killed by the anchor and continue expressing their love for Frankie and how much they both have always loved him.
Also, Lenny and Teresa both continued crying and continued mourning the loss of Frankie, and then they warmly embraced each other and nuzzled each other's heads. Soon, Lenny begins to think that Frankie's death is completely his fault, and he begins to feel guilty and blames himself for it even though he wasn't really responsible for it.
"We're gonna miss you so much." said Teresa.
"You will be missed." said Lenny. "Oh, Teresa, this is all my fault!"
"Wait? What did you just say?" asked Teresa.
"Frankie getting killed by the anchor is all my fault! I'm responsible for it!" said Lenny. "It's all my fault that he's dead, and I'm the one to blame! I'm so sorry, Frankie!" He continues crying.
Teresa gasped in shock just as she continued to cry. "What?! Lenny, don't say that! Don't blame yourself for Frankie's death! You weren't responsible for it and this is not really your fault!"
Lenny didn't listen to Teresa just as he still felt guilty for Frankie's death. "It is really my fault, Teresa, and I'm really responsible for what just happened to Frankie. If I saved Frankie from getting crushed by the anchor when I had the chance, then he would still be alive. I wasn't able to save him from getting crushed by the anchor, and now he's dead because of me."
"Frankie being dead isn't because of you, and when he got crushed by the anchor, it was just an accident." said Teresa just as she begins comforting Lenny. "He was just accidentally crushed by the anchor, and the anchor just came out of nowhere, that's all. His death was just an accident, and you weren't really responsible for it. Please, Lenny, don't blame yourself for what just happened."
"I am responsible for what just happened, and it is all my fault that Frankie got crushed by the anchor." said Lenny. "His death is all my fault, and I'm the one to blame."
"You're not the one to blame, and you're not really responsible for what just happened." said Teresa. "Also, you would never be responsible for something like this and you would never do such a thing. None of this is really your fault and you would never do anything that is so terrible. Not ever! You really need to understand that you weren't responsible for Frankie's death and you would never do that. Not ever."
"Teresa, it is my fault and I am responsible for Frankie's death. I'm the one to blame and it's all my fault that Frankie is now dead." said Lenny.
"But…But…But, Lenny, it's not really your fault and you're not the one to blame." said Teresa. "You weren't really responsible for Frankie getting crushed by the anchor, and you would never do that to Frankie."
Lenny still doesn't listen to Teresa just as he continues blaming himself for Frankie's death. "Oh, how am I ever gonna explain this to Pop? What's he gonna say when I tell him that Frankie died after he got crushed by the anchor and it was my fault that he died? Also, how am I ever gonna explain this to Mom when she gets home from the hospital when she recovers from leukemia? What will she say when I tell her that Frankie got killed by the anchor and it was all my fault? What will Pop and Mom say about this when I tell them? Oh, no!"
Lenny then swims away just as he continues to cry and continues to blame himself for Frankie's death even though it wasn't completely his fault. Teresa gasps in surprise upon seeing Lenny swim away, and she begins to go after Lenny just as she continues to cry and still attempts to comfort him and get him to understand that he wasn't really responsible for Frankie's death. Also, Teresa unknowingly passes Oscar, who yelped in fear just as he got pushed by a cloud of sand due to Teresa passing him and causing him to land right in front of the dead Frankie.
"Lenny, wait! Wait! Please don't blame yourself for Frankie's death! It wasn't really your fault!" exclaimed Teresa in the distance. "You weren't really responsible for what just happened, and you would never be responsible for something so terrible and you would never do that! Don't blame yourself for Frankie's death and it wasn't really your fault! Lenny, wait! Lenny! Lenny!"
Once Oscar has landed right in front of the dead Frankie, he suddenly raises his fins up in complete fear. Then, he notices that the dead Frakie is right behind him and begins doing martial arts moves like crazy as well as making martial arts sound effects just as he thinks Frankie is still alive.
"Watch it! Back up! I'm crazy! I'll be tripping!" Oscar yelled out. "You honestly think you're gonna make a meal out of me, huh?! Well, I would like to see you try! I won't become a shark's meal today! It's not gonna happen! No way!"
Bernie and Ernie soon come back and see the dead Frankie, causing them to become greatly amazed. Oscar continues to make martial arts moves and martial arts sound effects until he accidentally kicks Ernie in the eye.
"Ow! What the…?" asked Ernie in pain just as he held his eye.
Oscar quickly notices Ernie and Bernie have already turned, and he screams in fear while Ernie and Bernie screamed in fear too. Oscar screams in fear again, and Ernie and Bernie screamed in fear again while they hold onto each other. Oscar hides behind the dead Frankie while Bernie and Ernie are still amazed upon seeing the dead Frankie.
"Don't hurt us, mon! We're sorry! It was all Ernie's idea! It was all his plan to do something like this!" said Bernie.
Ernie nodded his head in agreement, but he stared at Bernie angrily. Oscar then stared at Ernie and Bernie in fear from right behind the dead Frankie, and Ernie and Bernie are still amazed upon seeing the dead Frankie. Ernie and Bernie kept staring at Oscar and the dead Frankie, and they began to think that Oscar was the one who killed Frankie just as they began to show Oscar some respect since they are still amazed.
"Uh…Oscar? Oscar?" asked Ernie.
"Did you…Did you…Did you…" said Bernie.
"Did I do what? What did I do, guys?" asked Oscar.
"Did you kill that shark?" asked Bernie.
"Huh?" asked Oscar.
"Did you kill that shark?" asked Bernie.
"Yeah, did you really kill that shark, Oscar? Did you?" asked Ernie.
Oscar stares at the dead Frankie and stares at Ernie and Bernie for a moment, and then he quickly realizes that Ernie and Bernie think that he has actually killed Frankie which isn't true at all. Oscar was about to tell Ernie and Bernie the truth that he didn't really kill Frankie, but he stopped himself when he noticed that Ernie and Bernie were staring at him with respect.
Upon seeing Ernie and Bernie staring at him with respect, Oscar quickly realizes that he can finally get the respect that he has yearned for since he hasn't been getting that much respect from others lately and he realized that he wanted to keep that respect if he doesn't tell the truth. So, he stared at the dead Frankie again, and he quickly got an idea.
"Well, since you asked me that question, the answer is…yes." said Oscar just as got on top of the dead Frankie's dorsal fin. "Yes, I did kill this shark. I really did kill this shark, and that's how it is."
"Well, if you really did kill that shark, then what happened?" asked Bernie.
"You guys wanna know what happened when I killed this shark, do ya?" asked Oscar.
"Yeah, we do." said Ernie.
"Yeah, we do wanna happen when you kill that shark, and you're standing on top of that shark right now." said Bernie.
"Go on, mon. Tell us what happened when you killed that shark." said Ernie.
"Alright. I'll tell you what happened when I killed this shark. I'll tell you guys right now." said Oscar just as he began thinking of something really fast.
The next day, at the Whale Wash, Oscar was telling his bogus story about killing a shark for the twentieth time. A large crowd of the Whale Wash employees has gathered and listened to Oscar's bogus story.
Angie was sitting on the steps of the office, Nelson was at Oscar's left side, and Sabrina was at Oscar's right side, and they were listening to his bogus story as well and they were very proud of him.
Oscar was having the time of his life when he kept telling his bogus story about killing a shark to the employees of the Whale Wash as well as his three best friends, and they were all very impressed upon hearing his bogus story about killing a shark.
"Hey, Oscar, about the shark you just killed, how big was he?" asked a fish employee.
"Well, the shark was about 75 to 100 feet long. The shark that I killed was huge. I mean, really huge." said Oscar.
"The shark was huge just like the Megalodon?" asked a crab employee.
"You know, the biggest shark that ever lived and has gone extinct for millions of years?" asked a flounder employee.
"Yeah, it sure was. It was huge just like the extinct Megalodon." said Oscar.
"Well, what just happened next when you encountered the shark?" asked a sea otter employee.
"What happened next, Oscar?" asked an electric eel employee.
"He was swimming right towards me, and he attacked me and attempted to make me the main course." said Oscar.
"Really?" asked another fish employee.
"You got attacked by the shark and you almost became the main course?" asked another crab employee.
"Oscar, did that really happen?" asked a sea turtle employee.
"Yeah, it did really happen. The shark attempted to make a meal out of me when I got attacked by him, and his teeth were like razors." said Oscar.
"Razors! Ha! The shark's teeth must've been like razor-sharp teeth." said Angie.
"Of course they were." said Oscar. "And I was all like, "you're gonna come up at me like that and make a meal out of me? You're gonna come up at the Big O like that and make a meal out of me? Uh-uh. I don't think so. So, I almost became that shark's main course, but I managed to fight back before I could become his main course. That's exactly what happened when I encountered that shark, and I've managed to fight him off. All by myself."
"It's really amazing to hear that you actually fought off a shark, Oscar." said Pontrelli.
"Yeah, Oscar, it's so awesome that you've actually fought a shark." said Knuckles.
"Mmm-hmm, it's absolutely wonderful." said Dwight.
"It's so fantastic." said Vivian.
"Wow! You've managed to fight off a shark all by yourself before you became his main course, and nobody has ever done that before." said Angie. "Oscar, it's very amazing for somebody to fight off a shark since nobody was unable to fight off a shark, and you were able to fight off a shark. You are really amazing, Oscar, and it was really amazing that you've managed to fight off a shark all by yourself."
"Thank you for telling those things to me, Ang." said Oscar.
"You're welcome, Oscar." said Angie.
"This is so awesome." said Nelson. "Nobody wasn't able to take on a shark since they were too afraid, but somebody was able to take on a shark and that somebody is you, Oscar. You were able to take on a shark, and you are so awesome. You really are. It's very awesome to hear that you've managed to take on a shark since nobody would be able to take on a shark."
"Thanks, Nel." said Oscar.
"You're welcome, Oscar." said Nelson.
"Oh, and by the way, I guess you gave that shark you encountered a good butt-kicking." said Sabrina just as she did some martial arts moves. "Since you were able to take on the shark, you must've kicked that shark's butt real good. Nobody would ever dare to kick a shark's butt, and you would dare to kick a shark's butt since we're able to. Also, that shark must've begged for mercy when you kicked his butt too."
"Yeah, I sure did. I kicked that shark's butt real good." said Oscar just as he did some martial arts movies. "I gave that shark a good butt-kicking when I encountered him, and he was really begging for mercy."
"Oh, that's really awesome to hear that you kicked that shark's butt and made him beg for mercy." said Sabrina. "And you are really awesome to kick that shark's butt when you encounter him. You are so awesome."
"Thank you very much, Brina." said Oscar.
"You're welcome, Oscar." said Sabrina.
"Hey, do the muscle thing! Do the muscle thing! Everybody loves it when you show off your muscles!" said Angie.
"Yeah, flex your muscles!" said Nelson.
"Show them your muscles!" said Sabrina.
"Oh, right!" said Oscar just as he nodded. He turned back to the crowd and began flexing his muscles. "So, I told that shark during that fight I had with him, I said "You see this guy…" He flexed his left muscle. ""Well, this muscle has a brother, and he lives right over here and he's another muscle!"" He flexed his right muscle. ""And I think it's time for the muscles to have a little…"" Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina joined in with him. ""Family reunion!""
The large crowd began cheering for Oscar, and Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina cheered for Oscar as well and they were very proud of him. Angie got up from the steps and swam around Oscar, Nelson clapped his fins for Oscar, and Sabrina gave Oscar a thumbs up.
Ernie and Bernie were both talking to a fish cameraman about what just happened while Katie Current attempted to get past them so she could have an interview with Oscar about killing a shark, and she was very impressed by Oscar's bogus story as well.
"That's exactly what happened, mon." said Ernie.
"Excuse me? Can I get through?" asked Katie Current.
"We were right there when it happened." said Bernie.
"Pardon me? Please, can I get through? Please?" asked Katie Current.
"Yeah, we were right there." said Ernie.
"MOVE IT! LET ME THROUGH!" exclaimed Katie Current. She gets through Ernie and Bernie and she swims up to Oscar along with the fish cameraman.
"Oh, sorry about that, mon!" said Bernie just as he and Bernie held onto each other in fear. "Katie Current seems so nice on the news."
"Yeah, mon, I agree on that." said Ernie.
"Hello, Oscar. I'm Katie Current, keeping it current." Katie Current greeted while she pushed Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina away. Angie accidentally bumped into the fish cameraman and smiled awkwardly, and Nelson and Sabrina both smiled awkwardly when Angie accidentally bumped into the fish cameraman. "As the first fish in history to ever take on a shark and win, and managed to fight off a shark since nobody would ever fight off a shark, does this mean that you're now gonna defend Southside Reef from the sharks? You know, are you now the defender of Southside Reef, new sheriff in town, the big Kahuna?"
"Katie, I guess I am the defender of Southside Reef now since I was able to fight off a shark, and I'm gonna keep it real." said Oscar just as he took Katie Current's microphone. "Also, is it okay I can just call you Katie? Are you alright with that?"
"Of course. You can call me Katie." said Katie Current.
"Any shark that tries to attack Southside Reef is going down!" said Oscar on the jumbotron of Pelagic Square. "I will take down any shark that tries to mess around in this reef! I will be there right on time when there is another shark attack! And this reef will no longer have to live in fear of sharks! Southside Reef, I'm your new defender!"
Everybody in Southside Reef cheered for Oscar for becoming the new hero of the reef since they are very delighted to think that he will now defend the reef from the great white shark mafia just as they all saw him on the jumbotron at Pelagic Square. They have always hoped that there will be a hero who can help them out with being terrorized by the great white shark mafia so they wouldn't have to live in fear of the great white shark mafia anymore.
Also, Oscar was enjoying the cheering and the admiration that he has been getting from everybody for taking credit for killing a shark which he never actually did, and his lifelong dream has finally come true. He finally became a somebody and he finally got respect from the others by falsely claiming that he really killed a shark. He was going all the way to the top, and he was already rising to fame.
While everybody in the reef cheered for Oscar for becoming the new hero of the reef, Lola was leaving a local shopping mall along with the rich fish who had bought her many expensive gifts just as she continued having a relationship with him since she is only interested in his money and fame. Lola and the rich fish were about to head to a luxurious restaurant for their date, but Lola suddenly noticed Oscar on the jumbotron.
Once she noticed Oscar on the jumbotron, Lola quickly realizes that he is being cheered by everybody in the reef and becoming famous, she then changes his mind about him and becomes interested in him again since he was rising to fame, and decides to break up with the rich fish so she could start a relationship with Oscar and sees that having a relationship with him could be a perfect opportunity for her since she's only interested in those who are rich and famous.
"I get poetic, and during hurricane storms, I get very poetic. Even the typhoon storms and the cyclone storms, I get very poetic." said Oscar on the jumbotron.
"Oscar? Hmmm. Oscar." whispered Lola. She then thought to herself. "That fish who I lost interest in after I found out he wasn't rich and famous has become rich and famous, and I guess that he is one of those who I'm really interested in. That nobody has become a somebody, and somebodies are rich and nobodies are poor. Since he has become somebody, he could actually be a perfect use for me and my main goal will be a success like it always has by starting to date somebody who has money and fame. Oscar will be mine and he'll be perfect for me to use." The rich fish suddenly taps on Lola's shoulder, causing her to come out of her thoughts. "What is it?"
"Well, are we gonna go to the restaurant or not? I've already made reservations, and he should get there soon before somebody else takes our table." said the rich fish.
"Actually, I realize that this relationship isn't gonna work out." said Lola.
"What?" asked the rich fish.
"You heard me. I'm breaking up with you, and we're now over." said Lola.
The rich fish gasped in shock. "But why?"
""Cause I realized that I'm into somebody else, and I realize that I should date him instead." said Lola. "Also, he might be much richer than you are. So, I'm ending our relationship since I realized I want to have a relationship with somebody else who has much more money than you have."
"So, you're just gonna break up with me for somebody else who has much more money than me?" asked the rich fish.
"Yeah. So, I'll be leaving now and I'll be taking these gifts you bought me." said Lola. She grabs the gifts from the rich fish and begins leaving. "But don't worry, you'll eventually find somebody else."
"But…But…But…But, I thought you wanted…But…" said the rich fish just as he tried to say something, but Lola interrupted him.
"Bye." said Lola just as she left with the gifts. "Good luck finding somebody else while I go meet somebody else that I've become interested in somebody else who might be much more richer than you are, and there's plenty of fish in the sea."
The rich fish watched Lola leave and became filled with disappointment. "But I thought you wanted me to be your…" He sighed.
Back at the Whale Wash, the large crowd and Katie Current kept cheering for Oscar as well as Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina, and the large crowd and Katie Current kept asking Oscar some questions about his bogus story of killing a shark. Suddenly, Sykes appeared right in front of Oscar.
"Okay, okay, okay! Get out of here, you barracudas!" said Sykes. "Any more questions for this fish will be answered by me. I'll be answering the questions for this fish."
"And you are? Who are you supposed to be, sir?" asked Katie Current.
"I'm his manager. My name is Sykes. With a "Y"." said Sykes.
"And I'm the crazy crustacean Crazy Joe, and I'm Oscar's financial advisor." said Crazy Joe. Everybody stared at Crazy Joe in surprise. "Um…you guys wanna see my puppets?" He gets his puppets out of his shell. "Hello there. Hey, everybody."
"Could you excuse us for a moment, please? Sykes and I need to have a little conversation." said Oscar. He and Sykes turn themselves around from the large crowd and Katie Current. "My manager? You are my manager? Why?"
"Kid, you're becoming a celebrity already and you're already becoming very popular." explained Sykes just as he put his fin around Oscar. "So, since you're becoming a celebrity and becoming very popular, I decided to become your manager. Together, we'll work together and make a fortune. Just let me handle it."
"But what about the 5 G's I owe you? What about the 5000 clams I was supposed to pay you back?" asked Oscar.
"Forget about the 5 G's that you owe me, and that's no longer important. From now on, we're partners." said Sykes.
Oscar slipped out of Sykes' fin. "So, if you're now my manager and now we're gonna be partners, what are we exactly talking about here, huh?"
"I'm thinking that we should do a 90 to 10 split on the clams." said Sykes.
"That's a pretty generous split about the fortune we'll be making together." said Oscar.
"You take the 10 clams and I'll take the 90 clams." said Sykes.
Oscar shook head. "Well, I don't think so."
"Talk to me about this." said Sykes.
"You get 15 clams." said Oscar.
"70 clams." said Sykes.
"20 clams." said Oscar.
"75 clams." said Sykes.
"Sykes, you're going the wrong way about this." said Oscar just as he held up his fin.
"50 clams." said Oscar and Sykes.
"Are you happy?" asked Sykes.
"No. Are you happy?" asked Oscar.
"Deal." said Oscar and Sykes.
Oscar and Sykes shook each other's fins and did a finshake, and they both turned back to the large crowd and Katie Current.
"My manager and I are now prepared to answer some more questions if you have any." said Oscar.
"Oscar, since you have become Southside Reef's new hero, are you still gonna continue to work at the Whale Wash?" asked Katie Current.
"Please, I barely work at this kind of business right now." said Oscar. The large crowd laughed.
"Hah! Keep it up, kid, you're doing a really good job. You're really slaying the crowd." said Sykes.
"No. He's actually slaying sharks." replied Katie Current.
"Hey, hey, hey! That's good! That's good, I like that! Oscar the Sharkslayer. That's a really good title for Southside Reef's new hero." said Sykes.
"Wow! A sharkslayer! That's so awesome!" said the three Shorties.
"You heard it here first, citizens of Southside Reef." Katie Current announced to the viewers while Oscar flexed his muscles and did some poses on the jumbotron of Pelagic Square. "From now on, if the sharks would try to dare to terrorize Southside Reef just like they did many times in the past, Oscar the Sharkslayer will defend us from them since he is now the defender of this reef. It will be any sharks' funeral if they would dare to mess with the Sharkslayer, and this reef wouldn't have to deal with shark attacks any longer and wouldn't have to live in fear of the sharks since Oscar the Sharkslayer has become the reef's new hero."
Everybody in Southside Reef continued to cheer for Oscar for becoming the new hero of Southside Reef.
