Chapter 8: An Unexpected Meeting

---

During the night, in the field of kelp, Lenny and Teresa are both still staying there since they are unable to go back to the RMS Titanic since their loving relationship with Don Lino has become strained even more than ever due to keep questioning Lenny for being different from the other sharks and keep questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side and encourage him to be different from the other sharks.

Even though their loving relationship with Don Lino has become even more strained right after what he just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral, Lenny and Teresa still love him very much no matter what, and Lenny still isn't sure that Don Lino would ever accept him for who he is while Teresa still suggests that he should give him a little more time to think it over and would eventually understand that he is already perfect just the way he is.

Also, the two siblings are still very frightened upon learning about the Sharkslayer, and they are doing the best they can to remain in the field of kelp so the Sharkslayer won't be able to find them and slay them just as they are now both checking outside of the field of kelp to see that if the Sharkslayer is anywhere around.

"Do you see him, Sis?" asked Lenny.

"No, I don't see him anywhere. Do you see him, Brother?" asked Teresa.

"Nuh-uh. I don't see him anywhere either." said Lenny.

"Well, he could be anywhere around here." said Teresa.

"Yeah, the Sharkslayer must be looking for sharks to slay, and he must be around here somewhere." said Lenny.

"We can't end up getting slayed by the Sharkslayer, and we must hide from him no matter what." said Teresa.

"All we have to do is be lucky, and hope that we won't end up getting slayed by the Sharkslayer." said Lenny.

"That's right." said Teresa.

"Also…we still can't go back home. Because of…you know what Pop said about us." said Lenny.

"I know. We still can't go back home, and that's 'cause of what Daddy said those things about us." said Teresa. "Oh, and Lenny, here's something else."

"What is it?" asked Lenny.

"Well, honestly, I never wanna leave home in the first place." said Teresa.

"I already know that." said Lenny. "You would never wanna leave home, but you have to 'cause you wouldn't let me leave home all by myself."

"Mmm-hmm. That's true. I wouldn't let you leave home all by yourself, and that's 'cause I'm on your side and I accept you for who you are." said Teresa.

"And I'm glad that you've decided to come along with me since you're on my side and you already accept me for who I am." said Lenny. "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."And I'm glad that I've decided to come along with you since I'm on your side and I accept you for who you are." said Teresa. "Also, our mother has already accepted you for who you are as well."

"Yeah, she does." said Lenny. "Our mom already accepted me for who I am too, and I'm glad that she already accepts me for who I am just like you already accept me for who I am."

"I'm glad that she already accepted you for who you are just like I already accepted you for who you are as well." said Teresa.

"Sis, I still can't believe that Pop would say those things about us." said Lenny.

"Me too, Brother. I still can't believe that Daddy would say those things about us too." said Teresa.

"He always wanted you to become a killer just like Frankie." said Lenny.

"And he always wanted me to start encouraging you to become a killer just like Frankie." said Teresa.

"But I can't become a killer just like he always wanted me to 'cause I'm just who I am." said Lenny.

"And I've always loved you just the way you are, and I would never start encouraging you to become a killer 'cause I'm on your side." said Teresa.

"I still wish that Pop would just understand that I'm my own person, but I guess he will never understand that." said Lenny.

"Yes, he will, Lenny. Daddy will eventually understand that you are your own person." said Teresa. "Just give him a little more time to think it over, and he'll eventually understand sooner or later."

"But what if he won't understand sooner or later, Teresa?" asked Lenny. "What if Pop would never understand that I'm my own person?"

"He will understand that you are your own person, and all you have to do is give him a little more time to understand that." said Teresa.

"Well, I'm still not sure if he will." said Lenny.

"Well, I'm sure he will. Lenny, please don't give up. Don't give up on giving him a little time to think it over." said Teresa. "Daddy will understand that you are just who you are, and just give him a little time to understand that you are just who you are."

Suddenly, Lenny and Teresa both heard some rustling noises from some of the kelp elsewhere in the field and they also heard somebody humming from some of the kelp as well, causing them to become very surprised and begin to wonder who caused the rustling noises from some of the kelp and who was humming from some of the kelp.

Then, the two siblings quickly begin to think that the rustling noises and the humming must have come from the Sharkslayer which caused them to become even more frightened, and they also begin to think that the Sharkslayer will be able to find them somehow and slay them since he is the hero of Southside Reef who slays sharks.

"Um…who made those kelp rustle all of a sudden?" asked Lenny.

"And who was humming?" asked Teresa.

"Maybe it could be the Sharkslayer." said Lenny.

"Oh, no. If it really is Sharkslayer, then he could find us and slay us for sure." said Teresa.

"Yeah, he's gonna slay us for sure if he finds us here." said Lenny.

"But what if it's somebody else? You know, it could be somebody else rather than the Sharkslayer." said Teresa.

"Hey, you're right. It could be somebody else rather than the Sharkslayer. It might be somebody else." said Lenny.

"Then, let's go check it out to see who it is already." said Teresa. "Let's go see if it's really the Sharkslayer or some kind of stranger. Let's go check it out, Lenny."

"Yeah, let's go see if it's really the Sharkslayer or some kind of stranger. Let's check it out right now." said Lenny.

"Let's split up. While we go check it out to see if it's really the Sharkslayer or a stranger, we should split up." said Teresa.

"That's a good idea. Let's split up while we check it out to see if it's really the Sharkslayer or a stranger. Let's do it." said Lenny.

"I'll go that way." said Teresa.

"And I'll go the other way." said Lenny.

Lenny and Teresa both nodded their heads in agreement, and then split up from each other began searching around the field of kelp for the person who made the rustling noises and the humming, and Lenny went to the left and went to a different part in the field of kelp and Teresa went to the right and went to a different part in the field of kelp.

The two siblings hope that the one who made the rustling noises and the humming is a stranger rather than the Sharkslayer because they think if the rustling noises and the humming really came from the Sharkslayer, then he would find them and slay them while they were still very frightened.

Lenny checked through most of the kelp in the different part of the field of kelp to find the person who made the rustling noises and the humming while he hopes that it could be a stranger rather than the Sharkslayer since they think that if rustling noises and the humming was really made by the Sharkslayer, then he and Teresa would get slayed by him.

Teresa checked through most of the kelp in the different part of the field of kelp to find the person who made the rustling noises and the humming while she hopes that it could be a stranger rather than the Sharkslayer since they think that if rustling noises and the humming was really made by the Sharkslayer, then she and Lenny would get slayed by him.

Lenny and Teresa kept looking through most of the kelp in the different parents of the field of kelp, and they haven't found the Sharkslayer or the person who would be a stranger yet while they are relieved that they haven't found the Sharkslayer at all yet and still hope that it could be a stranger rather than him.

Soon, just as Lenny and Teresa kept looking through most of the kelp together in the field to find the person who could be a stranger rather than the Sharkslayer, Lenny suddenly notices a mysterious figure in the field of kelp in the distance which causes him to become filled with surprise while Teresa kept looking through most of the kelp in the field, and he begins to assume that it must be the Sharkslayer or the stranger he and Teresa thinks it could be either one.

Lenny began starring at the mysterious figure to see if it's really the Sharkslayer or the stranger while he thinks that he'll get quickly found and slayed by the Sharkslayer right away if the mysterious figure is him rather than a stranger, and then he quickly notices that the mysterious figure turns out to be Oscar who is also in the field of kelp and looking through most of the kelp in the distance.

Once he noticed that the mysterious figure is Oscar and that he is also in the field of kelp while he looked through most of the kelp in the distance, Lenny is relieved to him just as he thought that the mysterious figure would be the Sharkslayer or the stranger he and his sister thought it would be, and he also remembered he first saw Oscar in the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean when he attempted to save him and he couldn't go through with eating him since he is a gentle and compassionate shark who wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anything.

Besides remembering first seeing Oscar in the wastelands when he attempted to save him and couldn't go through with eating him since he's a friendly and kindhearted shark, he also remembers how he attempted to save Oscar rather than killing and eating him since he was unable to do so is when Frankie passed away right after he got cursed by the anchor, and he still feels very guilty for Frankie's death and thinks it was all his fault even though it wasn't really his fault. Lenny continued to stare at Oscar after he found out that he was the mysterious figure and began to wonder what he is doing in the field of kelp since he is looking through most of the kelp in the distance.

So, Lenny began swimming towards Oscar to see what he was doing in the field of kelp since is looking through the kelp in the distance, and he also decides to help him out since he thinks that the Sharkslayer must be around somewhere in the field of kelp while he is completely unaware that Oscar and the Sharkslayer are the same person right after Oscar took credit for Frankie's death and told everybody his great white lie which he and Teresa are completely unaware of.

Meanwhile, Oscar kept looking through most of the kelp in the field, and the reason why he kept looking through most of the kelp in the field is because he's pretending to look for the some of the members of the great white shark mafia in the field of kelp who has been seen approaching Southside Reef, and he is unable to find the some of the members of the great white shark mafia in field of kelp, much to his relief.

"Well, it looks like there are no sharks around here." said Oscar. "The Sharkslayer declares this to be a shark-free zone. Patrol's over. Now it's time to go back to the penthouse and…"

Suddenly, Oscar's relief didn't last that long when two shadows appeared from under him, causing him to become filled with surprise. He quickly looks up and sees two members of the great white shark mafia swimming above the field of kelp, and he becomes very frightened and quickly hides behind some of the kelp in the field.

While Oscar hides behind some of the kelp in the field in fear, he checks on the two members of the great white shark mobsters and hopes that they wouldn't have a chance to find him, and he already knows that he's just a coward who is afraid of sharks and couldn't even fight off them while everybody thinks he's a brave hero and expects him to fight them off since he's the Sharkslayer.

The two members of the great white shark mafia swims over the field of kelp without even noticing Oscar is now hiding in the field of help, and they are looking for Lenny and Teresa so they could bring them back to the RMS Titanic since the other members of the great white shark mafia are still looking for them everywhere. Also, they are both completely unaware that Lenny and Teresa are in the field of kelp right after they have left the RMS Titanic and arrived at Southside Reef the other night without being noticed by anybody.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #1 called out.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #2 called out.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #1 called out.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #2 called out.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #1 called out.

"Lenny! Teresa!" great white shark mobster #2 called out.

"Where the heck is the boss' son and daughter at?" asked great white shark mobster #1.

"Yeah, where those two could be at?" asked great white shark mobster #2.

"LENNY! TERESA! LENNY! TERESA! LENNY! TERESA!" great white shark mobster #1. Great white shark mobster #2 quickly smacks him in the head. "Ow! Hey, what was that for?!" Great white shark mobster #2 quickly smacks him in the head again. "Ow!"

Great white shark mobster #2 shushes great white shark mobster #1. "Be quiet. What are you doing? Remember that there's a Sharkslayer around here, and he's Southside Reef's hero who slays sharks. You wanna get yourself slayed by him? You wanna be next?"

"No. No, I don't wanna get slayed by the Sharkslayer. Not at all." said great white shark mobster #1.

"Then be quiet while he continues to look for the boss' son and daughter." said great white shark mobster #2.

"Oh, yeah." said great white shark mobster #1. He began whispering. "Lenny! Teresa! Lenny! Teresa! Lenny! Teresa!"

Great white shark mobster #2 groaned in annoyance, and he and great white shark mobster #1 swims over the field of kelp and continues to search for Lenny and Teresa while they are both completely unaware that they are in the field of kelp.

Once the two members of the great white shark mafia swam over the field of kelp and leaves, Oscar checks from some of the kelp and quickly notices the two members of the great white shark mafia have already left, causing him to become greatly relieved again.

"Oh, that was close. Thank goodness." said Oscar.

"Yeah, super close. And I strongly agree with you, little fish." said Lenny. Oscar suddenly, becomes filled with surprise, and slowly looks up and notices Lenny is now right behind him. "Please. Whatever you do, don't panic. It's gonna be alright." Oscar nervously smiles for a moment and then he screams loudly in fear, but Lenny quickly covers his mouth and grabs him in his other fin. Lenny carries Oscar and takes him to another part in the field of kelp while he shushes him. "Quiet. It's okay. It's okay. It's just me. We're safe."

Oscar gets Lenny's fin off of his mouth while he was now in his grasp. "Oh, no. Not you again. You're that same shark from before."

"Yeah, I'm the same shark from before. And you're that same fish from before too." said Lenny.

"Yes, I am the same fish from before. Now let go of me." said Oscar just as he attempts to get out of Lenny's grasp.

Lenny suddenly yelps in fear while he holds onto Oscar. "Oh, my gosh! What was that?!"

"Hey! Yo! What is with you, man?" asked Oscar just as he got out of Lenny's grasp.

Lenny shushed Oscar. "Be quiet. He could be anywhere around here."

Oscar suddenly gasped in fear. "Who? Who could be anywhere around here, man? Who could it be?"

Lenny shushed Oscar again just as he covered his mouth again and grabbed him again. "The hero of Southside Reef who slays sharks. He is known as the Sharkslayer."

Oscar scoffed just as he got out of Lenny's grasp again. "Man, you must be tripping. There's no Sharkslayer around here."

Lenny chucked. "Yes, there is. He is around here somewhere."

Oscar imitated Lenny's chuckle. "No, there is not. He isn't around here somewhere. Trust me on this one."

"Get a hold of yourself, man! This is a serious situation, and this is no time to act crazy!" exclaimed Lenny.

"Hey, you're the one who's acting crazy, crazy!" exclaimed Oscar. "Besides, you're always sneaking up on me and stuff. You're gonna give me a heart attack. What's wrong with you anyway?"

"Oh, you're absolutely right. I'm the one who's acting crazy. I'm so sorry about that." apologized Lenny. "I haven't been myself since the…the…the…" He suddenly began shedding tears. "Please, Lenny, don't cry. Please, don't cry. Oh, no…Oh, no…Oh, no…"

Lenny turns away from Oscar and heads to a large sea sponge that is located in the middle of the field of kelp where he lays down on it and begins crying just as he is still very depressed about Frankie's death, and he still blames himself for his death even though he wasn't really responsible for it and he will never forget what just happened to Frankie on that very day at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean.

Upon seeing Lenny began crying on the large sea sponge, Oscar quickly becomes greatly concerned about him and wonders what is wrong with him, and then he quickly notices some rustling from some of the kelp in the field which caused to become filled with surprise and wonder who made those rustling in some of the kelp in the field.

Suddenly, Teresa appeared from out of some of the kelp in the field, and she was the one who made those rusting from some of the kelp in the field. Oscar quickly notices Teresa once she appears from out of some of the kelp in the field and becomes even more surprised just as he begins wondering who she is. Also, Oscar notices how very beautiful and stunning Teresa is, and he is greatly amazed that she's the most glamorous shark that he has ever seen.

Teresa continued searching for the Sharkslayer or the stranger in the field of kelp just as she didn't even notice Oscar once she appeared out from some of the kelp in the field and was completely unaware that Oscar and the Sharkslayer are the same person just like Lenny is completely unaware of it.

Just as she continues searching for the Sharkslayer or the stranger in the field of kelp, she suddenly notices Lenny crying on the large sea sponge, causing her to become greatly concerned about him. She quickly swims up to him and begins comforting him to see what's wrong with him.

"Hey, Lenny, what's the matter? Are you alright?" asked Teresa.

"No, Teresa. I'm not alright. Not at all." said Lenny.

"Why?" asked Teresa.

"Because…you know…when Frankie passed away." said Lenny. "It's all my fault that Frankie passed away, and I'm to blame."

"Lenny, it wasn't really your fault that Frankie passed away, and you're not to blame." said Teresa.

"But I really am responsible for his death." said Lenny.

"No, you're not. Please stop blaming yourself for his death, it wasn't really your fault." said Teresa.

Lenny continues to blame himself for Frankie's death even though he wasn't responsible for it, and Teresa continues to comfort Lenny and try to convince him that he wasn't really responsible for Frankie's death. Oscar watched Lenny continue to cry and Teresa continued comforting him just as he became even more concerned, and then he decides to comfort Lenny and swims up right in front of him as well as Teresa, and he attempts to calm him down.

Once Oscar swam right up in front of the two siblings, Teresa quickly notices Oscar while she continued to convince Lenny that Frankie's death wasn't really his fault and continued to comfort him, and becomes filled with surprise since she also remembered she first saw him at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean just like Lenny did.

Also, Teresa begins to think that he might needs some help since she thinks that the Sharkslayer must be around somewhere in the field of kelp while she is completely unaware that Oscar and the Sharkslayer are the same person right after Oscar took credit for Frankie's death and told everybody his great white lie which she and Lenny are completely unaware of.

"Hey, hey, hey, it's not all that. Just relax. Please calm down. Don't cry, man." said Oscar.

"Wait a minute, you're that fish from before." said Teresa.

"Yeah, I sure am. I'm the fish from before." said Oscar.

"Did you see the Sharkslayer around here?" asked Teresa.

"Huh?" asked Oscar.

"You know, the Sharkslayer. Have you seen him?" asked Teresa.

"No, I haven't seen the Sharkslayer around here. And he isn't around here either." said Oscar.

"Well, maybe he is around here somewhere. The Sharkslayer might be here somewhere." said Teresa.

"No, he isn't. The Sharkslayer isn't here somewhere, trust me on this one." said Oscar.

"Also, do you need any help, little fish?" asked Teresa.

"What?" asked Oscar.

"Do you need some help since the Sharkslayer could be anywhere?" asked Teresa.

"Thank you, but no thank you. I don't need any help at all." said Oscar.

"Really? You don't need any help?" asked Teresa.

"Yeah." said Oscar.

"Okay." said Teresa.

"Also, I already told you that the Sharkslayer isn't anywhere around here." said Oscar.

"Oh, it's all my fault. It's all my fault that our brother has died, and I'm really responsible for it." said Lenny just as he continued to cry. "It's all my fault. Kinda…not really…but still. Our brother…"

"Lenny, for the last time. It wasn't really your fault that our brother had died, and you weren't really responsible for it." said Teresa just as she continued to comfort Lenny. "You would never be responsible for something like that, and it wasn't really your fault."

"She's absolutely right, it isn't really your fault that he died, and you couldn't be responsible for it." said Oscar. "Don't blame yourself for his death, and it wasn't really your fault, man. You just need to calm down, and things are gonna work out for you and that amazingly beautiful shark. Everything's gonna be alright."

"You really think so, little fish?" asked Lenny.

"Yeah. For sure, man." said Oscar. "So, look, um…I'm just gonna leave…and you and the pretty lady should just go home, okay?"

"Okay." said Lenny.

"Alright. If you say so, little fish." said Teresa.

"Good luck, you two. Bye." said Oscar.

Oscar then begins leaving the field of kelp while Lenny's very depressed expression suddenly become very surprised and Teresa became very surprised as well, and Lenny quickly remembers that he and Teresa is still unable to go back to the RMS Titanic since their loving relationship with Don Lino has become strained even more than ever after what he just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral and Teresa quickly remembers the same thing.

However, Teresa wishes that he and Lenny could return home, but she is unable to do so since she's so unwilling to allow Lenny to leave home by himself and she already accepts him for who he is, and she is still accompanying him after he has decided to leave the RMS Titanic.

So, since Lenny and Teresa are unable to return back to the RMS Titanic since their loving relationship with Don Lino has become even more strained after what he just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral, they decide that Oscar should help them out with finding a place to stay, and they begin following Oscar just as Lenny got up from the large sea sponge and wiped away his tears. Just as Oscar continues to leave the field of kelp, Lenny quickly grabs him again while Teresa follows Lenny, and he attempts to get out his grasp again.

"Wait!" said Lenny.

"What, man? What is it now?" asked Oscar.

"Um…you didn't tell us your name. What's your name, little fish?" said Lenny.

"My name is Oscar." Oscar introduced himself.

"My name is Lenny." Lenny introduced himself. "Hi, it's very nice to meet you, Oscar."

"Hi, Lenny." Oscar greeted. "It's very nice to meet you too." He then turns to Teresa. "And who's the cutie? What's her name?"

"My name is Teresa, and I'm Lenny's sister." Teresa introduced herself. "Salutations, and it's really nice to meet you."

"It's really nice to meet you too, and my name is Oscar." Oscar introduced himself. "Wow, you are so stunning, ma'am."

Teresa giggled. "Oh, thank you for saying that to me. I already know that I'm so stunning."

"You're welcome." said Oscar.

"Where do you live?" asked Lenny.

"Huh?" asked Oscar.

"Where is your home? Where do you exactly live, Oscar?" asked Lenny.

"Lenny, where do I exactly come from, I come from Southside Reef." said Oscar. "That is my home, and it's far from other reefs in this ocean such as Northside Reef, Eastside Reef, Westside Reef, and Central Reef. Also, since I come from Southside Reef, it's a place where little fish just like me don't like to get grabbed by big sharks just like you, okay?" He continues to get out of Lenny's grasp again.

"Oh, sorry about that, Oscar." apologized Lenny.

"Now, go home! And that goes for your sister too!" said Oscar.

"Well, I would like to go home, but I can't." said Teresa.

"Why not?" asked Oscar.

"'Cause I'm accompanying Lenny." explained Teresa. "He already decided to leave home and he doesn't want to go back, so I decided to leave home along with him since I wouldn't let him leave home by himself. Lenny and I can't go back home, and I wish I could go back, but I can't 'cause I've decided to go along with him since he has already decided to leave him and doesn't want to go back."

"What she just said is true. We can't go back home, and I don't wanna go back home and she's accompanying me." said Lenny. "There is no home for us anymore. Don't you understand that?"

Oscar manages to get out of Lenny's grasp again, and then he leaves the field of kelp while he swims away from Lenny as well as Teresa. The two siblings also leave the field of kelp and begin following Oscar around right after they have decided that Oscar should help them out with finding a place to stay since they are both unable to return the RMS Titanic right after what Don Lino just said about during the reception of Frankie's funeral.

"You're too big to be grabbing on me like this, and I'm too little to be grabbed!" said Oscar.

Lenny swam right up in front of Oscar along with Teresa. "Please, Oscar, take us home with you. We really need a place to stay since we can't go back to our home, and we began thinking that you can help us with finding a place to stay."

"Yeah, it would be very kind of you to help us out with finding a place to stay since we can't go back to our home. Please, we really need your help, Oscar." said Teresa.

Oscar shushes Lenny and Teresa just as he continues to swim away from them. "What?! I'm so sorry, but I can't help you two out and I really can't take you too with me. Sorry."

"But c'mon. I'm sure you can help us out, and it would be really kind of you if you did." said Lenny just as he quickly grabbed on Oscar's tail-fin and Oscar quickly broke free from his fin. "Look, you wouldn't even notice that we're there. We'll be like the invisible sharks." Lenny covered his eyes for a moment, and then he took his fins off of his eyes and stared at Oscar.

"Are you CRAZY?!" asked Oscar.

"PLEASE, MY SISTER AND I ARE BEGGING YOU! PLEASE, DON'T LEAVE US OUT HERE ALL ALONE!" begged Lenny just as he began shedding tears. "WE NEED A PLACE TO STAY, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP! SO, PLEASE! SO, PLEASE! SO, PLEASE!" He began crying very loudly.

"Please, Oscar, we really need a place to stay, and we really need your help." said Teresa. "Look, since we've left home and couldn't go back, we have nowhere else to go. So please, help us out with finding a place to stay. Please."

Oscar looks around for a minute, and wonders why he is with Lenny and Teresa anyway. He then stared at Lenny who is crying very loudly and Teresa who gives him a pleading expression, and Lenny and Teresa still suggests that he should help them out with finding them a place to stay since they are unable to go back to the RMS Titanic since their loving relationship with Don Lino has become even more strained.

Just as Lenny continued to cry and Teresa continued to stare at Oscar with a pleading expression, Oscar becomes very awkward, and gently rubbed Lenny on his head to calm him down just as Lenny stopped crying and wiped away his tears from his eyes, and he gently rubbed Teresa on her cheek to help her calm down as well just as Teresa stopped staring at him with a pleading expression. Also, Oscar shushes Lenny and Teresa in annoyance.

"Will you both please be quiet?! Just be quiet!" said Oscar.

"Hey, did you hear that?" asked Lenny.

"No! I didn't hear anything, and you guys didn't hear anything either!" Oscar yelled out.

"Hey, hey, hey, Oscar, calm down. Just calm down." said Teresa.

"No, you guys need to calm down 'cause there could be somebody out here besides us and we could get caught so easily if you don't shut your mouths!" Oscar yelled. "Just be quiet before somebody hears y'all!"

"Yo! This is the po-po! Put your fins on the wall where I could see them!" said a peculiar voice.

Oscar suddenly became filled with shock. "Oh, no! It's the cops! The cops are here, and we just got caught!" Quick, hide you two."

Oscar quickly pushed both Lenny and Teresa to a nearby wall to hide them from the police, and he quickly went right behind the wall along with Lenny and Teresa to hide from the police as well. Also, Lenny and Teresa begin to question if it's really the police.

"Hey, Oscar, is it really the cops?" asked Lenny.

"Yeah, is it really the cops?" asked Teresa.

Oscar shushed Lenny and Teresa. "Look, I'm gonna go check it out if it's really police, and you two stay where you are right now and just be quiet. Can you two do that?" Lenny and Teresa both nodded. "Alright. I'm gonna be right back, and just be right here and just be quiet."

Oscar then went around the wall to see the police while Lenny and Teresa kept hiding right behind the wall, and he checked around the corner of the wall and quickly discovered that it wasn't really the police but it was actually the three Shorties who were spray painting on the wall with their spray paint bottles.

The three Shorties quickly noticed Oscar right around the corner of the wall, and they quickly smiled at him just as they warmly greeted them while Oscar quickly smiled at them just as he warmly greeted them.

"Gotcha!" said the three Shorties.

"Oh, it's just you guys. Hey, Shorties." Oscar greeted.

"Hey, Oscar." the three shorties greeted.

"What are you guys doing here in the middle of the night?" asked Oscar just as he swam up to the three shorties.

"Check out our new artwork, homie." said Shorty #1.

"Yeah, check it out." said Shorty #2 and Shorty #3.

"Whoomp, there it is." said the three Shorties.

The three Shorties show Oscar their graffiti artwork on the wall which is a muscular version of himself wearing a cap sideways, a chain with a circle-shaped medallion, a belt, wielding a sword, riding on a great white shark with a chain in his mouth, and has the logo that is called Sharkslayer. Oscar becomes very amazed upon seeing the graffiti artwork of himself that was made by the three Shorties while Lenny and Teresa continued hiding right behind the wall without making a sound.

"How do you like the artwork? What do you think?" said Shorty #1.

"Whoa! It is very impressive. It's so awesome. You kids have some great skills in graffiti artwork." said Oscar.

"Yeah, it's one of best graffiti artwork we ever made. It's wild style." said Shorty #1.

"For sure." said Shorty #2.

"Mmm-hmm." said Shorty #3.

"Hey, wait a minute! What did I tell you kids? Have you kids forgotten what I told you from before?" asked Oscar. "You kids shouldn't be doing graffiti since it's vandalism which is against the law. And besides, it's not safe to swim around the streets during the nighttime since sharks could be committing crimes, causing trouble, and could kill and eat anybody like you three kids."

"Oh, yes it is. It's now safe to swim around the streets during nighttime, and that's 'cause you're the Sharkslayer." said Shorty #1.

"Yeah, you are the Sharkslayer, bro. The sharks isn't able to do those things any longer since you're Southside Reef's new hero." said Shorty #2.

"Everybody doesn't have to live in fear of the sharks any longer 'cause you're the reef's new hero known as the Sharkslayer, and you really slay sharks, bro." said Shorty #3.

Lenny and Teresa listened to Oscar's conversation with the three Shorties while they continue to hide right behind the wall, and upon hearing that the three Shorties said that Oscar was the Sharkslayer, Lenny and Teresa eventually learn that Oscar and the Sharkslayer are the same person and they are very surprised to learn about it while they have been completely unaware of it, even when they first meet Oscar.

"What did those kids say? Oscar is the Sharkslayer?" asked Lenny.

"Wait a minute. Is Oscar really the Sharkslayer?" asked Teresa.

"Huh? What was that?" asked Shorty #1.

Oscar began pretending to cough in order to cover up Lenny and Teresa. "Sometimes I would be coughing for nothing 'cause I have some allergies." He continued to pretend to cough for a moment and then stopped. "Look, I need you three kids to get off of these streets. Seriously, I need y'all off of these streets. It's time for y'all to go home now."

"Aw, c'mon, Oscar." said Shorty #1. "Can we stay here for a little longer? Please?"

"I'm sorry, but it's time for you kids to go home. And it's getting late too." said Oscar. "Also, I know each of your parents, and I'll be telling them that you're doing bad stuff such as vandalism."

"Well...alright then." said Shorty #1.

"Okay." said Shorty #2.

"Okay." said Shorty #3.

Shorty #1 then quickly smiles. "Hey, I know, let's go to Fish King and have some burgers, fries, and shakes, y'all."

"Yeah, let's do that." said Shorty #2 just as he smiled.

"Let's go to Fish King then." said Shorty #3 just as she smiled.

"Bye, Oscar. See ya later, doo." said Shorty #1.

"Bye." said Shorty #2.

"Bye." said Shorty #3.

The three Shorties then leave and begin heading to Fish King while Oscar watches them leave and waved bye to them. Once the three Shorties leave and head to Fish King, Oscar quickly went back to Lenny and Teresa right behind the wall who were very surprised upon learning that he and the Sharkslayer are the same person.

"Yo, Lenny, Teresa, did you two see what just happened there?" asked Oscar.

"Yeah, we did." said Lenny.

"We did see what just happened." said Teresa.

"Those kids think that you're really Southside Reef's hero known as the Sharkslayer!" said Lenny. "As if!" He began laughing.

Oscar frowned. "I don't appreciate your funky tone, actually. Thanks for the compliment about what you just saw." He turned and began swimming away.

Lenny followed Oscar along with Teresa. "No! Wait up! Please, don't go! Hey, I'm sorry about what I just said about you. Seriously, I am. I really don't want you to be mad at me…and I certainly don't want you to…" he laughed. "...slay me and my sister since we're sharks." He continued to laugh.

"You're having a good time about this, are you? You're enjoying yourself, man? Having so much fun already?" asked Oscar.

Lenny tried to stop laughing. "No, it's just that…it's just…well, it's just that you're a little fish."

"Yeah, I am a little fish. So what?" asked Oscar.

"So, you slaying a shark couldn't have happened." said Lenny just as he continued to try to stop laughing.

"Hey! It could happen." said Oscar.

"Well, I guess it couldn't." said Lenny. He still continued to try to stop laughing, but he laughed anyway.

"You know, I think Lenny has a point that you slaying a shark couldn't have happened at all, and I strongly agree with him." said Teresa.

"You do? Do you agree with your brother, Teresa?" asked Oscar.

"Mmm-hmm. So, you're really the Sharkslayer just like you just said you are? Are you?" asked Teresa.

"Well, for your information, sweetheart, it already happened when I slayed a shark, and it was in the wastelands of this ocean." said Oscar. "I am the Sharkslayer, the hero of Southside Reef who slays sharks. Oscar the Sharkslayer. That's what the good people of this reef are saying about me."

"Are you sure about that, hero?" asked Teresa. "You didn't attempt to slay me or Lenny when we first met you, and it looks like you don't even slay sharks at all since you're a little fish."

Lenny stared at Oscar. "Wait a minute. You couldn't be possible for what just happened in the wastelands. You mean you..."

"Yeah. It was me." said Oscar.

"Especially when the anchor…" said Lenny. He then gasped in complete shock. "Oh, you're a liar! And you lied all about killing our brother Frankie, and he was actually killed by the anchor. You made the whole thing up, and you took credit for killing our brother to make yourself look good."

"Oh, my gosh! You…You…You lied about killing a shark." said Teresa just as she became filled with shock. "You made up a whole story about killing our brother Frankie, and it was actually the anchor that killed him. You are a liar, and you made yourself look good by taking credit for killing our brother which you never did."

"Hey, wait a minute, I didn't lie, alright? I didn't lie about killing your brother Frankie, and didn't make up the whole story." said Oscar. Lenny and Teresa both stared at Oscar. "Alright, I lied about killing your brother, and I made the whole thing up. But it was a little lie. C'mon, who's gonna be hurt by my lie anyway? What harm could my lie do anyway?"

Upon learning that Oscar took credit for killing Frankie and thinks that his lie won't cause any harm at all since it's only a little lie, Teresa suddenly becomes very concerned about Oscar's great white lie since she is completely aware that nothing good would come from lying, and that his great white lie would have serious consequences and end up cause nothing but trouble for himself and the ones he cares about.

"Actually…your lie can do those kinds of things, Oscar." said Teresa.

"Huh? What did you just say, Teresa?" asked Oscar.

"Your lie could actually hurt somebody, and it could end up causing more harm than good." explained Teresa. "Also, even though you told a little lie, that little lie can turn into a big lie sooner or later. I mean, a really big lie."

"So?" asked Oscar.

"So, your lie could get bigger and bigger, and not only could it end up causing more harm than good, it could end up causing problems for yourself." explained Teresa.

"Huh?" asked Oscar.

"Lying can cause problems for yourself, and it also causes problems for somebody else such as the ones you care about so much." explained Teresa. "Since you took credit for killing your brother to make yourself look good and lied all about it, it's gonna have consequences, and lying has consequences. Also, lying isn't such a good idea and you shouldn't have taken credit for something you didn't do 'cause it's wrong. Very wrong."

"Well, what you just told me about how lying can cause more harm than good is very true, but like I just said from before, it's just a little lie." said Oscar. "I only told a little lie, and since I told a little lie, it won't hurt anybody and wouldn't cause any harm, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Yes, there is. There is something to worry about your little lie 'cause it's gonna become a big lie sooner or later." explained Teresa. "Your lie is gonna cause more harm than good, and it's gonna cause problems for yourself and the ones that you care about so much. Oscar, you gotta understand that your lie isn't a good thing."

Even though Oscar agrees with Teresa that nothing good would come from his great white lie and that it could cause nothing but trouble for himself and the ones that he cares about after he took credit for killing Frankie which he never did, Oscar doesn't listen to her at all and still insists that his great white lie won't cause any harm at all since he only told a little lie even though Teresa is absolutely right that it could become a big lie by the minute.

"Like I already just said, it's just a little lie, and it won't hurt anybody and couldn't cause any harm. It's alright." said Oscar.

"What? But…But…But…But, Oscar, it isn't really…" said Teresa just as she tried to explain, but Oscar suddenly interrupted her.

"Anyway, I'm not explaining myself to you two, and this conversation is now over." said Oscar. "You know what? You two are on your own. I'll be leaving now." He began swimming away from Lenny and Teresa.

"Hey, wait, you still can't just leave us out here all by ourselves." said Teresa. "We still need a place to stay, and we still can't go back to our home."

"Yeah, we still can't go back to our home and we still have nowhere else to go." said Lenny. "Please don't leave us out here all by ourselves, and please help us with finding a place to stay, Oscar."

"I'm sorry, but it's your own problem, not mine." said Oscar. "You guys can help yourselves with finding a place to stay, and you guys are on your own and I'm leaving. Bye."

Oscar continues to swim away while Lenny and Teresa watch him in disappointment, and the two siblings still suggest that Oscar should help them out with finding a place to stay since they are both unable to return the RMS Titanic right after their loving relationship with Don Lino has become even more strained than ever right after what he just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral.

However, the two siblings' disappointed expressions suddenly fade away just as they begin smiling at each other, and they both suddenly get an idea to convince Oscar to help them out with finding a place to stay since they're unable to go back to the RMS Titanic after what Don Lino said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral, and they know the idea would easily work just as they nodded their heads and began following Oscar again.

"Alright, man, we'll go back home. No problem at all." said Lenny. "And if God forbids…somebody should…oh, we don't know…find out the truth about the Sharkslayer on our way back home. We think we should tell somebody the truth that you never actually killed a shark like you just said."

"While we're going back home, somebody really should learn the truth about the Sharkslayer has never really slayed a shark, and it was all made up." said Teresa.

"You two wouldn't." said Oscar.

"Oh, we would." said Lenny.

"We would tell somebody the truth on our way back home." said Teresa.

Oscar stared at Lenny and Teresa who began smirking at him, and he quickly realized that Lenny and Teresa would tell somebody the truth that he lied about killing a shark. Also, he is afraid that if the two siblings told somebody the truth that he took credit for killing a shark which he never did, he will become a laughingstock to everybody in Southside Reef and become a nobody again.

So, in order to prevent Lenny and Teresa from telling somebody the truth that he lied about killing a shark so he wouldn't become a laughingstock and become a nobody again, Oscar finally decides to help them out with a place to stay just as he smiled at them.

"Oh, come here." said Oscar just as Lenny and Teresa smiled back at him. He gently rubbed Lenny's snout while he chuckled. "Of course you two can come with me. I'll help you two find a place to stay since you're unable to go back to your home." He turned to Teresa and gently rubbed her cheek. "And you guys don't have to worry about being left out here all alone. I just changed my mind, and I'm gonna help you guys find a place to stay."

"Yay!" cheered Lenny.

"Hooray!" cheered Teresa.

"Thanks, Oscar." said Lenny.

"Thank you, Oscar." said Teresa.

"You're welcome, you two. Now let's go find you guys a place to stay. Also, you two are sharks and I'm a Sharkslayer." said Oscar. He went to a nearby entrance of the sewers of Southside Reef along with Lenny and Teresa, and he opened the lid of the entrance with Lenny's help. "So, we can't be seen together, and you guys can't be seen by anybody either. You understand that, dog and pretty lady?"

"Yes, understand. We understand very much." said Lenny.

"Mmm-hmm, we understand, Oscar." said Teresa.

"Hey, I like being called a dog, and it's a really good name and it suits most people pretty well." said Lenny. "Dig. Dog. Dog dig. Dig dog. Dog dig. Dig dog. Dog dig. Dig dog. Yo, diggy dog."

"Just stop fooling around and just c'mon." said Oscar.

"Lenny, this isn't the perfect time to be foolish. Let's go." said Teresa.

"Oh, right." said Lenny.

Oscar went into the sewer along with Lenny and Teresa while he is now helping with them finding them a place to stay in Southside Reef after he has finally decided to do so, and Lenny closes the entrance of the sewer.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa began traveling in the sewer together, and Oscar hopes that he is able to find Lenny and Teresa a place to stay without being noticed by anybody and attempts to do the best that he can to make sure that nobody won't have the chance to notice Lenny and Teresa and that nobody won't see him with them since she's the Sharkslayer.

Also, besides being very delighted that Oscar has finally decided to help them out with finding a place to stay since they are unable to go back to the RMS Titanic after what Don Lino just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral as much as Lenny is, Teresa is very concerned about how Oscar's great white would end up causing nothing but trouble and for the ones he cares about since she is fully aware that lying has serious consequences and that nothing good would come of it.

Meanwhile, at the RMS Titanic during nighttime, Luca and Yvette are having a conversation with five members of the great white shark mafia about how Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found yet and still expect them to keep searching for them in one of the hallways.

They still hope that they will be found somehow, and they also begin to hope that Lenny and Teresa wouldn't be found and slayed by the Sharkslayer since they both still haven't been found yet, and they still wonder where they could be at now while they are completely unaware that they are now at Southside Reef.

Also, Luca and Yvette are now being greatly concerned about Don Lino since he is still very devastated over the loss of Frankie and still has been very depressed that Lenny and Teresa are both still missing and still hasn't been found yet by the members of the great white shark mafia.

"So, you guys still haven't found the boss' youngest son and only daughter yet?" said Luca.

"Yes." said great white shark mobster #1.

"We haven't found Lenny and Teresa yet." said great white shark mobster #2.

"Did you guys search everywhere for those two?" asked Yvette.

"Yes." said great white shark mobster #3.

"We've searched everywhere for Lenny and Teresa." said great white shark mobster #4.

"But we still couldn't find them anywhere." said great white shark mobster #5.

"Well, keep looking harder for those two." said Luca.

"Yeah, keep looking harder for the boss' youngest son and only daughter." said Yvette.

"Don't worry, we will." said great white shark mobster #1.

"We will eventually find Lenny and Teresa." said great white shark mobster #2.

"We're still doing the best we can to find those two." said great white shark mobster #3.

"Oh, where could Lenny and Teresa be?" asked Luca.

"It has been weeks already, and they still haven't been found safe and sound." said Yvette.

"Well, wherever Lenny and Teresa are at, let's still have hope that they could be eventually found." said Luca.

"Yeah, we must still have hope that the boss' youngest son and only daughter could be found somehow." said Yvette.

"Mmm-hmm." said great white shark mobster #1.

"Absolutely." said great white shark mobster #2 and great white shark mobster #3.

"Uh-huh." said said great white shark mobster #4 and great white shark mobster #5.

"Oh, and I hope that Lenny and Teresa wouldn't end up getting slayed by the Sharkslayer just like their older brother already got slayed by him." said Luca.

"Me too. I hope that Lenny and Teresa won't get slayed by the Sharkslayer just like Frankie already did too." said Yvette.

"Me too." said great white shark mobster #1.

"Same." said great white shark mobster #2 and great white shark mobster #3.

"Same here." said said great white shark mobster #4 and great white shark mobster #5.

"Also, since Yvette and I now know that Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found yet, the boss isn't gonna be so happy to hear about it." said Luca.

"That's true, he isn't gonna be so happy to hear that Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found yet." said Yvette.

"Well, he should be informed that his youngest son and only daughter still haven't been found yet." said Luca.

"And we should also inform him that we're still doing the best we can to find those two." said Yvette.

"Yeah, that's right, he needs to be informed about those things. Oh, and by the way, he hasn't been himself lately." said great white shark mobster #4.

"He has been very depressed about what just happened weeks ago, and he's still very depressed about it." said great white shark mobster #5.

"He's very depressed about losing his oldest son Frankie after he got killed." said great white shark mobster #2.

"And he's very depressed that Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found yet." said great white shark mobster #1.

"We really feel bad for the boss since his family has been falling apart after what just happened weeks ago." said great white shark mobster #3.

"Everybody in the great white shark mafia really feels bad for him so much since he lost Frankie, and Lenny and Teresa are still missing." said Luca.

"Also, we really feel bad for him so much since he lost his oldest son and his other two kids are still missing as much as everybody else does too." said Yvette.

"Yeah. So, we're gonna go see the boss now and tell him that his other two kids still haven't been found safe and sound yet." said Luca.

"And we're also gonna tell him that we're still doing the best that we can to find his other two kids." said Yvette.

"Alright, you two do that." said great white shark mobster #1.

"We'll keep looking for Lenny and Teresa." said great white shark mobster #5.

"We're gonna keep doing the best we can to find those two." said great white shark mobster #4.

"Oh, and we still hope that those two are alright." said great white shark mobster #3.

"And we still need to have hope that those two could be found safe and sound, and that they will be okay." said great white shark mobster #2.

"Yeah." said Luca.

"Mmm-hmm." said Yvette.

Then, Luca and Yvette begin heading to the office of the RMS Titanic where Don Lino is at, and inform him that Lenny and Teresa hasn't been found yet and the members of the great white shark mafia are still continuing to search for them while the five members of the great white shark mafia continue to search for Lenny and Teresa along with the rest of the members of the great white shark mafia just as they begin to swim throughout the hallway.

While they are now heading to the indoor garden to see Don Lino and inform him that Lenny and Teresa are still missing and the members of the great white shark mafia are still searching for them, Luca and Yvette are still concerned about Don Lino for being very devastated over Frankie's death and being very depressed over Lenny and Teresa still being missing, and they know that he will become even more depressed than ever.

Also, they are still very devastated over Frankie's death and are very depressed over Lenny and Teresa still being missing as much as Don Lino and the members of the great white shark mafia does while they still have hope that they could be eventually found and are alright as much as Don Lino and the members of the great white shark mafia does, and they strongly agree with Don Lino's plan to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie and will help him get his revenge on him along with everybody else while it actually turns out that he was killed by the anchor which they, Don Lino, and the members of the great white shark mafia are completely unaware of.

At the office of the RMS Titanic, Don Lino is sitting at his desk and staring at the photo frame of him, his wife Mildred, his father Leonardo, his mother Shelly, and his three children Lenny, Frankie, and Teresa when they used to be young shark pups just as he was shedding tears.

Right after his oldest child passed away and his other two younger children had gone missing weeks ago as well as his family began to fall apart because of it, Don Lino was still very devastated over the loss of Frankie and was still very depressed that Lenny and Teresa are still missing.

He still couldn't believe that Frankie got killed by the Sharkslayer while he was completely unaware that Frankie was actually killed by the anchor, and he still couldn't believe that Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found by the members of his great white shark mafia yet. He still hopes that they would be eventually found somehow and still hopes that they wouldn't get slayed by the Sharkslayer just like Frankie already got slayed by him.

Also, since Frankie has already been slayed by the Sharkslayer while he actually passed away after the anchor crushed him, Don Lino still vows to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie just as he continued to shed tears and stared at the photo frame of him and his family being together.

Then, Don Lino picks up the photo frame of him and his family from his desk and began to warmly embrace it just as he loved his family very much, and already misses his three children very much after his oldest child died and his other two children went missing weeks ago and still hopes that Mildred would somehow successfully recover from leukemia in the hospital just as he also misses her as well since she has been diagnosed with leukemia and must be treated for it in the hospital.

Besides missing his three children after Frankie has died and Lenny and Teresa hasn't still been founded by the members of his great white shark mafia, he is still very regretful for being so hard on Lenny and Teresa lately since he kept questioning Lenny for being different from the other sharks and kept questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side and encouraging him to be different from the other sharks.

Even though he wants what's best for Lenny and Teresa, and expects Lenny to become a cold-blooded killer just like Frankie and expects Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer, Don Lino has always loved them very much and cares for them, and he feels regret for how he has been behaving towards them lately and was being too hard on them.

Don Lino continues to warmly embrace the photo frame of him and his family and continues to shed tears just as he misses his three children very much as well as he misses Mildred very much.

He still hopes that Lenny and Teresa would eventually be found by the members of his great white shark mafia and still hopes that Mildred would be able to recover from leukemia, and he still vowed to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie no matter what while he was still completely unaware that he was actually killed by the anchor.

Don Lino then stopped warmly embracing the photo frame of him and his family together and put it back on his desk, and he stopped shedding tears and wiped away his tears from his eyes. He continued to feel very devastated over the loss of Frankie and continued to feel very depressed that Lenny and Teresa are still missing, and he quickly notices Luca and Yvette enter his office and sit at the two chairs that are right in front his desk. Luca and Yvette warmly greet Don Lino once they have entered his office, and Don Lino warmly greeted Luca and Yvette back while he was still very depressed.

"Hey, boss." Luca greeted.

"Hello, boss." Yvette greeted.

"Oh, hello, Luca and Yvette." Don Lino greeted.

"There is something you need to tell you, and it's very important." said Luca.

"It's about Lenny and Teresa." said Yvette.

"Well, what is it? What do you wanna tell me about my youngest son and my only daughter?" asked Don Lino.

"Those two still haven't been found yet." said Luca.

"Huh? What did you just say." asked Don Lino.

"Your youngest son and only daughter still haven't been found yet." said Yvette.

"Lenny and Teresa still haven't been found yet?" asked Don Lino. Luca and Yvette both nodded their heads yes. "Where those two could be?"

"We don't know." said Luca.

"We have no idea where those two are." said Yvette.

"Also, we've already been informed by some of the members of the mafia that they're still doing the best they can to find Lenny and Teresa." said Luca.

"Really?" asked Don Lino.

"Mmm-hmm. The members of the mafia are still doing the best they can to find them." Yvette.

"Then wherever my other two kids are, I hope they're alright and I hope that they'll be eventually found by my mafia sooner or later." said Don Lino.

"We hope that they'll be okay and will eventually be found safe and sound too." said Luca.

"Yeah, we hope that Lenny and Teresa will be alright and will be eventually found safe and sound too." said Yvette.

"All we have to do is have my mafia keep looking for my other two kids, and still have hope that they'll be okay and will be eventually found safe and sound." said Don Lino.

"Mmm-hmm." said Luca.

"That's right." said Yvette.

"Also…I still want my revenge." said Don Lino. "I wanna have revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing my oldest son Frankie, and nobody gets away with harming my own kids and getting away with it. Nobody."

"Boss, we already know that you still want revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing your oldest kid and making him pay for what he did." said Luca.

"And we already know that you would never let anybody get away with harming your own kids such as the Sharkslayer." said Yvette.

"Oh, and since you still want your revenge on the Sharkslayer, we're gonna help you out get your revenge on him and make him pay." said Luca.

"That's right. We're gonna help you out with teaching the Sharkslayer that nobody harms your own kids and get away with it." said Yvette.

"Oh, and have you decided how you're gonna get revenge on the Sharkslayer yet?" asked Luca.

"Yeah, have you thought of any plan to get revenge on the Sharkslayer and make him pay for what he did yet, boss?" asked Yvette.

"Actually, I did. I've already come up with a plan to get my revenge on him and make him pay for what he did." said Don Lino.

"What is it?" asked Luca.

"It's sending some of the members of my mafia to find the Sharkslayer and take him out." replied Don Lino. "I'm gonna send some of the members of my mafia to find the Sharkslayer in Southside Reef and attempt to take him out, and you're gonna lead them, Luca. That's the plan to get my revenge on him for killing my oldest kid and make him pay."

"You know, that's a great idea to get revenge on the Sharkslayer and make him pay for what he did. I like that idea." said Yvette.

"Yeah, it is a great idea to get revenge on the Sharkslayer, boss. And I like that idea too." said Luca. "Also, I'll be very honored to lead those members of the mafia to find him and take him out."

"Oh, and we agree with you to get revenge on him since he has killed your own son, and we wouldn't let anybody get away with harming your own kids either." said Yvette.

"That's true, we would never let anybody get away with harming your own kids too, and we agree with you to get revenge on him since he has killed your own son." said Luca.

"I already know that you guys agree with me on my revenge 'cause you're so loyal to me and would agree with me sometimes." replied Don Lino.

"Yeah." said Luca.

"Of course." said Yvette.

"But first, I still need you two to me Sykes so I could ask him what he knows about the Sharkslayer and I could know more about him." said Don Lino. "I still remember that I planned for you two to get me Sykes so I could have a conversation with him and learn more about the Sharkslayer. Did you two get me Sykes yet? Did you?"

"Um…Well…We were gonna get Sykes…but…but…" said Luca just as he tried to explain.

"But what?" asked Don Lino.

"But…But we forgot about getting you Sykes." said Luca.

"What?" asked Don Lino.

"Boss, we forgot about getting you Sykes so you could ask him some answers about the Sharkslayer and learn more about him." said Yvette.

"Yeah, that's right, we forgot all about getting you Sykes so you could have a conversation with him and learn more about the Sharkslayer." said Luca.

"You two forgot to get me Sykes?" asked Don Lino. Luca and Yvette both nodded their heads. "But how could you two forget all about it?"

"'Cause we've been so focused on searching for Lenny and Teresa." explained Luca.

"Yeah, that's right, how did we forget all about it is that we've been very busy with searching for your youngest son and only daughter." said Yvette.

"Sorry, boss." said Luca.

"Sorry about that." said Yvette.

"Oh, you two don't have to apologize to me for forgetting all about it." said Don Lino.

"Wait a minute. Really?" asked Luca.

"We really don't have to apologize?" asked Yvette.

"No, you don't." replied Don Lino. "It's alright that you forgot about getting me Sykes so I could ask some answers about the Sharkslayer and learn more about him. It's okay that you forgot all about it, Luca and Yvette. It's okay."

"Really?" asked Luca.

"It's alright?" asked Yvette.

"Yes." said Don Lino. "Being busy with searching for my youngest son and my only daughter is very important as much as it's very important planning to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing my oldest son and making him pay for what he did. So, since you two forgot all about getting me Sykes so I could have a conversation with him and learn more about the Sharkslayer, I'm gonna phone call Sykes and ask him some questions about the Sharkslayer so I could learn more about him."

"You're gonna call Sykes?" asked Luca.

"You're gonna phone call him?" asked Yvette.

"Yes. I'm gonna call Sykes right now." said Don Lino.

"Well, that's a good idea. You should call Sykes." said Luca.

"Yeah, that is a good idea and you should call him, boss." said Yvette.

"So, Luca, and Yvette, the conversation is now over." said Don Lino. "You two can leave my office now, and I'm gonna begin calling Sykes on my phone now."

"Alright, boss. If you say so." said Luca.

"Okay." said Yvette.

"Bye, Luca and Yvette." said Don Lino.

"Bye." said Luca.

"Bye." said Yvette.

Then, Luca and Yvette get up from the two chairs that are right in front of Don Lino's desk, and they both waved bye to Don Lino and leaves his office while Don Lino waved by to them and is now preparing to call Sykes on his phone so he could begin asking him questions about the Sharkslayer since he could know much about him already so he could learn more about him and get revenge on him for killing Frankie while it he was still completely unaware that he was actually killed by the anchor.

But before he could call Sykes and begin asking him questions about the Sharkslayer so he could learn more about him and to get revenge on him for killing Frankie, Don Lino still feels very very devastated over the loss of Frankie and was still very depressed that Lenny and Teresa are still missing.

Also, Don Lino is very regretful for being so hard on Lenny and Teresa lately since he kept questioning Lenny for being different from the other sharks and kept questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side and encouraging him to be different from the other sharks, and even though he wants what's best for them and expects Lenny to become a cold-blooded killer just like Frankie and expects Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to become a killer, Don Lino has always loved them very much and cares for them, and he feels regret for how he has been behaving towards them lately and was being too hard on them.

Then, he looks at the photo frame of him and his family together on his desk again just as he as he loved his family very much, and already misses his three children very much after his oldest child died and his other two children went missing weeks ago and still hopes that Mildred would somehow successfully recover from leukemia in the hospital just as he also misses her as well, and he sheds a single tear from his eye and quickly wipes it away.

Soon, Don Lino's very depressed expression became very angry just as he still vows to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie no matter what while he is completely unaware that he was actually killed by the anchor, and he proceeds to call Sykes so he could ask him questions about the Sharkslayer so he could learn more about him. He picks up his telephone, dials Sykes' phone number, and waits for Sykes to answer him on the phone.

Back at Southside Reef, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa continue to travel throughout the sewers together until they find another lid that is located above the road. Oscar slowly cracked the lid open and checked to see if there's anybody on the road. He looks left and right on the road, and quickly discovers that there's nobody there, much to his relief.

Also, he notices a storage warehouse that is right across the street from the Whale Wash in the very distance, and it's known as the Whale Wash storage warehouse where all of the cleaning supplies for cleaning the sperm whale customers that are used by the many employees of the Whale Wash were stored in.

Once Oscar notices the Whale Wash storage warehouse in the very distance, he decides it should be the perfect place for Lenny and Teresa to stay at since most of the locations in Southside Reef are too small for their size and they're unable to fit inside them due to being big sea creatures.

He proceeds to help Lenny and Teresa to stay at the Whale Wash storage warehouse without being noticed by anybody, and he still hopes that nobody wouldn't get the chance to notice Lenny and Teresa at all.

"Alright, Lenny and Teresa. There's no sign of anybody else, and the coast is clear." whispered Oscar. "Follow my every move, don't let anybody see you or let anybody see you with me, and don't make a sound. Got it?"

"Yes, Oscar. We got it." whispered Teresa. "All we have to do is follow your every move, don't let anybody see us or let anybody see us with you, and don't make a sound."

"Mmm, we got it, Oscar." whispered Lenny. "Follow your every move, don't let anybody see us or let anybody see us with you, and don't make a sound. We absolutely got it, man."

"That's great. Now let's go to the place where you'll be staying, you two." whispered Oscar.

"Okay." whispered Teresa.

"Alright." whispered Lenny. He suddenly heard his own echo in the sewer, much to his own delight. "Ooh, an echo. Hey, I love echoes and they're so awesome. Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo! Echo!" He heard some more echoes in the sewer. "Now batting for the sharks of Southside Reef during the 70s and…" Oscar suddenly hits Lenny. "OW! Hey, what was that for?"

"I already told you two, don't make a sound!" whispered Oscar.

"That's right, Lenny, neither of us can't make a sound while Oscar is helping us out with finding a place to stay." whispered Teresa. "So, we must be quiet, or somebody is gonna see us or see us with Oscar. Remember, don't make a sound."

"Yeah, but it's not okay to hit!" whispered Lenny.

Then, Oscar quickly gets out of the sewer, and he first signals Teresa to get out of the sewer. Teresa attempts to go through the exit of the sewer, but she ends up getting stuck due to being a big shark. Oscar helps her out and grabs her two fins to pull her out of the exit of the sewer, and he quickly manages to pull her out.

After helping Teresa and pulling her out of the exit of the sewer, he signals Lenny to get out the sewer next. Lenny attempts to go through the exit of the sewer, but he ends up getting stuck due to being a big shark. Oscar helps him out and grabs his two fins to pull him out of the exit of the sewer.

However, just as Oscar was helping Lenny to get him out the exit of the sewer by pulling him out, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa suddenly heard the sound of dolphin police sirens in the distance, meaning that they're on a routine patrol during the night, causing them to become greatly surprised and they quickly realize that they'll might get caught by the dolphin police if they're not that careful.

Oscar quickly grabbed Lenny's neck and quickly managed to pull him out of the exit of the sewer, and Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa quickly went around the corner of an alley where they hid themselves from the dolphin police.

Oscar checked around the corner, and he saw a dolphin police swam by and doing the routine patrol. He, Lenny, and Teresa wait for the dolphin police to leave for a moment, and then the dolphin police leave and continue with the routine patrol.

Once the dolphin police has left and continue with the routine patrol, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa leaves the alley, and Oscar signals Lenny and Teresa to keep following his every move and don't make a sound at all while he is helping them out with stay at the Whale Wash storage warehouse without being noticed by anybody. Lenny and Teresa agree to continue to follow Oscar's every move and don't make a sound at all just as they both nod their heads.

Suddenly, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa heard some more sounds of dolphin police sirens in the distance, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa try to do the best they can without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa begin traveling throughout the streets during the night without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody, and Oscar begin hiding various places while Lenny and Teresa both begin hiding in the other alleys since they are big sea creatures in the in the street from the dolphin police while Oscar plans to take Lenny and Teresa to the Whale Wash storage warehouse for them to stay at since it's one of the most places in Southside Reef to fit big sea creatures at just like them.

First, Oscar swims up to a dumpster and hides inside of it while Lenny and Teresa both swim up to another alley that is located right beside the dumpster. Oscar slowly opened the lid of the dumpster to check on some dolphin police doing routine patrols while Lenny and Teresa both did the same thing and checked around the corner of the other alley.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa saw three dolphin police swam by and doing the routine patrol, and they waited for the three dolphin police to leave for a moment, and then the three dolphin police left and continued with the routine patrol.

Once the three dolphin police has left and continue with the routine patrol, Oscar gets out of the dumpster and Lenny and Teresa leaves the other alley, and they continue traveling throughout the streets without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody.

Next, Oscar swims up to a lamp post and hides behind it while Lenny and Teresa both swim up to another alley that is located right beside the lamp post. Oscar slowly checked right behind the lamp post to check on some dolphin police doing routine patrols while Lenny and Teresa both did the same thing and checked around the corner of the other alley.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa saw five dolphin police swam by and doing the routine patrol, and they waited for the five dolphin police to leave for a moment, and then the five dolphin police left and continued with the routine patrol.

Once the five dolphin police has left and continue with the routine patrol, Oscar moves from the lamp post and Lenny and Teresa leaves the other alley, and they continue traveling throughout the streets without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody.

Next, Oscar swims up to a few boxes and hides behind them while Lenny and Teresa both swim up to another alley that is located right beside the lamp post. Oscar slowly checked right behind the few boxes to check on some dolphin police doing routine patrols while Lenny and Teresa both did the same thing and checked around the corner of the other alley.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa saw two dolphin police swam by and doing the routine patrol, and they waited for the two dolphin police to leave for a moment, and then the two dolphin police left and continued with the routine patrol.

Once the two dolphin police has left and continue with the routine patrol, Oscar moves from the few boxes and Lenny and Teresa leaves the other alley, and they continue traveling throughout the streets without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody.

Then, Oscar swims up to three mailboxes and hides inside of one of them while Lenny and Teresa both swim up to another alley that is located right beside the three mailboxes. Oscar slowly opened the lid of one of the three mailboxes to check on some dolphin police doing routine patrols while Lenny and Teresa both did the same thing and checked around the corner of the other alley.

Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa saw four dolphin police swam by and doing the routine patrol, and they waited for the four dolphin police to leave for a moment, and then the four dolphin police left and continued with the routine patrol.

Once the four dolphin police has left and continue with the routine patrol, Oscar gets out of the dumpster and Lenny and Teresa leaves the other alley, and they continue traveling throughout the streets without getting caught by the dolphin police since they are on routine patrol during the night as well as try to do the best they can without being noticed by anybody.

Soon, Oscar, Lenny, and Teresa have managed to avoid getting caught by the police dolphins since they didn't notice them at all while they were doing routine patrol during the night, and they have also managed to avoid getting noticed by anybody since Oscar did a really good job hiding in various places at the streets while Lenny and Teresa did a really good job hiding in the alleys at the streets, and they also did a really good job in hiding from the dolphin police as well.

They continued traveling throughout the streets together, and then they managed to reach the Whale Wash storage warehouse and they still haven't been noticed by the dolphin police or anybody, much to their delight.

Oscar signals Lenny and Teresa to keep following his every move and don't make a sound at all again while they are going to the Whale Wash storage warehouse, and the two siblings still agree to do so.

Oscar swam across the street, and went to the Whale Wash storage warehouse where he pressed the button and opened the sliding door so Lenny and Teresa could be able to get inside since they are too big to go through the door which is the entrance.

Once he opens the sliding door for Lenny and Teresa, Oscar points at Teresa and signals her to come to the Whale Wash storage warehouse without making a sound at all and shushes her to be quiet, and she nodded their heads in agreement.

Teresa swam across the street and went to the Whale Wash storage warehouse without making a sound at all and being quiet, and she swam right in front of the slide door and prepared to go inside the storage warehouse.

Oscar then points at Lenny and signals him to come to the Whale Wash storage warehouse without making a sound at all and shushes him to be quiet, and he winks at him. Lenny swam across the street and went to the Whale Wash storage warehouse without making a sound at all and being quiet.

However, Lenny suddenly trips on the steps of an apartment building on his tail-fin, causing him to roll out across the street and crash into various objects on the street such as a street light that fell, a five boxes that also fell, two garbage cans that also fell and spill garbage, three mailboxes that end up getting crushed and mail went all over the place, four crates that also end up getting crushed, and ends up crashing into a dumpster that is right next to the Whale Wash storage warehouse.

Just as Lenny keeps crashing into various objects, he ends up making a lot of noise in the process, and Oscar becomes very annoyed by Lenny while Teresa becomes filled with surprise and shock.

"Ow, my dorsal fin! Ow, my head! Ow, my tail-fin! Ow, my fin!" exclaimed Lenny in pain.

"Get your tail-fin in this warehouse with your sister immediately!" said Oscar in annoyance.

"Oh, my gosh! Lenny, are you alright?" asked Teresa.

"Yeah, Sis. I think so." answered Lenny. "Also, do you think anybody heard those noises at all?" He accidentally smashed his head on the bottom of the sliding door. "Ow, ow, ow! My head! Again! Ow!"

Lenny and Teresa both went through the sliding door and went inside the Whale Wash storage warehouse together while Lenny rubbed his head in pain and Teresa comforted him, and Oscar was greatly annoyed by Lenny and he was about to go inside the storage warehouse until Crazy Joe comes out of the dumpster that Lenny accidentally crashed into, and Crazy Joe looked very surprised and confused right after Lenny has accidentally crashed into the dumpster.

"Who was that? Huh? Hey! Who's out there? Who made all of that loud noise?" asked Crazy Joe.

"Yo! Crazy Joe!" Oscar greeted.

"Hey, Oscar." Crazy Joe greeted. "I thought I heard something out there, and it turns out you were fighting off some sharks to keep Southside Reef safe since you're the hero who slays sharks known as the Sharkslayer. Did you get those sharks?"

"Oh…you have no idea, Joe. I did slay those sharks, and I've won the fight." said Oscar.

"That's great news." said Crazy Joe. "Well, I gotta go now. One of my favorite shows is on."

Crazy Joe went inside his shell and began watching the comedy TV show known as The Benny Hill Show and the theme song of the TV show known as Yakety Sax was playing while Crazy Joe was laughing like crazy and enjoyed the TV show since it's one of it's favorite TV shows.

Oscar heard Crazy Joe enjoying The Benny Hill Show and thought to himself. "I guess Crazy Joe must've fixed that old TV in his shell all by himself. No wonder he calls himself crazy."

Then, Oscar went inside the Whale Wash storage warehouse and closed the sliding door. Inside the storage warehouse, Oscar is greatly relieved that he, Lenny, and Teresa have managed to make it to the storage warehouse without being noticed by the dolphin police and anybody, and hopes that they still won't get caught together at all.

"Alright, you two. We're safe. For now." said Oscar. "So, this is the place you two are gonna stay at. It's the storage warehouse of the Whale Wash. What do you think?"

Lenny and Teresa looked around the inside of the Whale Wash storage warehouse, and they were greatly amazed by it and saw the many cleaning supplies that were used by the many employees of the Whale Wash. Lenny saw some cleaning brushes in the big boxes and saw some bottles of cleaning soap on some of the shelves, and Teresa saw some sponges in the small boxes and saw some bottles of wax on some of the shelves.

"Whoa. This place is fantastic." said Lenny.

"Yeah, it's absolutely wonderful." said Teresa.

"So, this is the place we're gonna be staying at?" asked Lenny.

"Yeah, you two are gonna be staying here at this storage warehouse." said Oscar. "And I had to choose this place for you two to stay at since you can fit in here, and there are most other places in Southside Reef where they are able to fit big sharks just like you two, but you two can easily get noticed at one of those places and can get easily caught. So, you two are gonna be staying here."

"Well, what you just explained to us does make a lot of sense, Oscar." said Teresa. "It's very true that there are most other places in Southside Reef where it can fit big sharks just like us, but we'll get easily noticed and can get easily caught if we stayed at one of those places that can fit us."

"Also, this is the perfect place for us so we won't get noticed and get caught by anybody at all, and I'm starting to love this place already." said Lenny.

"I agree that this is the perfect place for us so we won't get noticed and get caught, and I'm starting to love this place already too." said Teresa.

"Thanks for helping us with finding a place to stay, Oscar." said Lenny.

"Thank you very much for helping us out with finding us a place to stay." said Teresa.

"You're welcome." said Oscar.

Lenny and Teresa keep looking around the inside of the Whale Wash storage warehouse and are greatly amazed by it, and then they both find two rows of eight crates which they quickly decide to use as their own beds and four rolls of bubble wrap on the ground which they quickly decide to use as their own pillows while they are both at staying at the Whale Wash storage warehouse together.

"Hey, Sis, look. We can use those crates and bubble wrap to sleep on." said Lenny.

"That's a good idea. Let's sleep on those crates and bubble wrap, Brother." said Teresa.

Lenny went to the first row of eight crates and laid himself down on them. He twisted himself and turned himself on the crates to make himself comfortable, and he grabbed two of the four rolls of the bubble wrap off of the ground and put them under his head like pillows.

Teresa went to the second row of eight crates and laid himself down on them. She twisted herself and turned himself on the crates to make herself comfortable, and she grabbed the other two of the four rolls of the bubble wrap off of the ground and put them under her head like pillows.

"Oh, this feels so cozy." said Lenny.

"Mmm-hmm, and it's really so nice." said Teresa.

"Snuggly wuggly." said Lenny. He suddenly saw Oscar swimming past him and Teresa, and he smiled at him and quickly grabbed him in his fins again. "Oh, I love you, man. I love you so much."

"Lenny! Hey, hold up! Hold up! Hold up!" exclaimed Oscar.

"Hey, Lenny, what are you doing?" asked Teresa just as she became surprised.

Lenny then gives Oscar the noogie which caused him to laugh so hard. "Since you were kind to us and helped us out with finding a place to stay, I would like to be your new best friend."

Teresa giggled. "Lenny, cut that out! Knock it off! Also, I would like to be your new best friend too since helped us out with finding a place to stay which was a kind thing to do for somebody, Oscar."

"Your sister is right, Lenny! STOP IT!" exclaimed Oscar just as he got out of Lenny's grasp again. "Okay, you two wanna become my new best friends since I did an act of kindness by helping you guys find a place to stay. Alright, I'm okay with it. You guys can become my best friends, and I'll become your best friends too."

"Really?" asked Lenny and Teresa.

"Really." said Oscar.

"Hooray!" cheered Lenny.

"Yay!" cheered Teresa.

"But if we're all gonna be best friends, then we need to lay down some rules." said Oscar. "Rule number one: no snuggly…whatever that just was. Rule number two: no giving me the noogie."

"You got it. Any more rules you need to add? Anything else?" asked Lenny.

"Are there any more rules we need to follow?" asked Teresa.

"Yeah. Rule number three, and this is the most important rule." said Oscar just as he turned on a flashlight that is on one of the crates. "In the event that, possibly, you know, you get hungry…you know, I've known some of the guys who have been working at the Whale Wash for a very long time, and it would be terrible if you guys try to…it would end up in a mess and…"

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna eat anybody, even the ones who work at the Whale Wash." replied Lenny just as he suddenly became upset. "In case you haven't noticed, I'm different from the other sharks, and I wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody. Let's leave it at that, okay?"

"That's true, my brother wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody, even the ones who work at the Whale Wash." said Teresa just as she sat up on her bed. "And it's also very true that he's different from the other sharks."

"Really?" asked Oscar.

"Yes, really." said Teresa.

"Well, if it's very true that Lenny is different from the other sharks, and that he wouldn't kill and eat anybody, then tell me why you're different." said Oscar.

"If I told you why I'm different from the other sharks, you'll laugh at me." said Lenny just as he turned away.

"Lenny, I'm gonna laugh if you tell me." replied Oscar.

"Well, that's what you say." said Lenny. "And then what happens later, you laugh anyway after I told you."

"Look, I promise I won't laugh if you tell me why you're different from the other sharks." said Oscar. "I promise and I give you my word."

"I think you should tell Oscar why you are so different from the other sharks, Lenny. And he promises not to laugh." said Teresa. "You should tell him why you're different from the other sharks, and he should know. Also, I already know why you're different and I didn't laugh at all when you told me."

Lenny sighed and sat up on his bed. "Okay, I will tell you why I'm different from the other sharks. I'm….I'm…I'm…I'm a vegetarian." He laid back down on his bed and hid his face under his pillow so he wouldn't have to see Oscar laughing at him. He quickly checked right under his pillow to see Oscar was laughing at him already, but he wasn't at all.

Oscar tried not to laugh just like he promised Lenny that he wouldn't. "Wait a minute. Hold up." He took a deep breath and still tried not to laugh. "So, that's it. Is that all you wanna tell me why you're different from the other sharks? That's it?"

"What do you mean that's it?" asked Lenny just as he sat back up on his bed. "You're the first fish I ever told about why I'm different from the other sharks. Oh, I'm so tired of keeping it all a secret, and the only one who knows about me being a vegetarian is my sister because she already accepts me for who I am and she has always accepted me for who I am."

"Is that true?" asked Oscar.

"Yes. It's true. It's very true, Oscar. Lenny is a vegetarian, and I've always known that he was a vegetarian and I was the only one who knew all about it." explained Teresa. "That's because I've already accepted him for who he is and I've always accepted him for who he is. Also…and I wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody either."

"Really? You wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody either, just like your brother?" asked Oscar. Teresa nodded her head yes. "Well, if you wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody either, then you must be a vegetarian too. Are you a vegetarian?"

"What? No. No, Oscar, I'm not a vegetarian just like Lenny." said Teresa.

"Well, if you're not a vegetarian, then how come you wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody just like Lenny?" asked Oscar.

"'Cause I do. Even though Lenny is a vegetarian, that doesn't mean I'm a vegetarian too." said Teresa. "I do eat meat, but it isn't fish or any other sea creature at all, and since Lenny is a vegetarian besides that he wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody, he gets sick from eating meat."

"Really? Lenny gets sick from eating meat since he's a vegetarian besides that he wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anything?" asked Oscar.

"Yeah, he does. Vegetarians get sick from eating meat, and they only eat fruits, vegetables, and anything else that isn't meat." explained Teresa.

"That's right, eating meat makes me wanna throw up and I wouldn't eat meat because of it besides that I wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody." explained Lenny. "I only eat fruits, vegetables, and anything else that isn't meat, and that's what vegetarians only eat. Oh, and by the way, there's something you need to know since you now know that my sister and I wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody either."

"Well, what is it? What do you wanna tell me?" asked Oscar.

"Well, even though there are most sharks in the ocean who are vicious and aggressive, there are most sharks who are compassionate and friendly." said Lenny. "Just like me and Teresa. We're one of those kinds of sharks who are gentle and kindhearted."

"Hey, that's true, we are those kinds of sharks who are compassionate and friendly." said Teresa. "Even though there are most sharks who are savage and bloodthirsty, there are most of them who are gentle and kindhearted, and we're one of them."

"So, what you just explained to me about the fact that there are most sharks in the ocean who are compassionate and friendly does make a lot of sense, and I already believe it's true." said Oscar. "I already believe that most sharks are gentle and kindhearted, and that you two are just like those kinds of sharks. Thank you for telling me."

"You're welcome. Also, you're the first fish we ever told about why there are most sharks in the ocean who are compassionate and friendly just like me and Lenny." said Teresa.

"Oh, and we'll give you an example of how there are most sharks in the ocean who are gentle and kindhearted just like me and Teresa." said Lenny.

"You guys are gonna give me an example of how there are most sharks in the ocean who are gentle and kindhearted just like you two?" asked Oscar. "You're really gonna do that?"

"Yes. We're gonna give you an example of how there are most sharks in the ocean who are gentle and kindhearted just like us. We'll do it right now."

"There was this time in the wastelands when we used to be kids." said Lenny.

Flashback

A long time ago, young Lenny and young Teresa are at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean playing a game of tag together, and both of them are taking turns at being it during the game and have lots of fun together.

Young Teresa chases young Lenny around the place for a moment again and manages to tag him again, meaning that he's now it again. Once young Teresa tags young Lenny again and makes him it again, young Lenny begins to chase her around the place again since he's now it again.

Just as young Lenny and young Teresa are playing tag together and having lots of fun together in the wastelands, they both quickly notice a young seal crying in the distance which causes them to stop playing tag together, and they both quickly decide to see why the young seal is crying and they both swim up to him.

"Um…what's the matter, man?" asked young Lenny.

"Are you alright? What's wrong?" asked young Teresa.

The young seal quickly heard young Lenny and young Teresa, and he quickly noticed them just as he was still crying. However, once he noticed young Lenny and young Teresa, he suddenly became very frightened since they are both great white sharks and he knows that great white sharks eat seals just like him, and he began screaming in fear.

Upon seeing the young seal begin screaming once he has noticed them, young Lenny and young Teresa attempt to help him calm down by assuring him that they wouldn't eat him since they're one of those sharks who wouldn't do anything to eat anybody.

"Please! Please, don't eat me! I'm too young to be eaten!" said the young seal. "You two are sharks, and sharks eat seals which are me! You guys are gonna eat me, and I can't be eaten 'cause I'm still a little kid! Please, don't eat me! Please, please, please!" He continues to scream in fear.

"Hey, hey, hey! Hold on! We're not gonna eat you, man." said young Lenny.

"Yeah, we're not gonna eat you, and we're not one of those sharks who would eat seals." said young Teresa.

"That's right, we wouldn't eat seals, and we wouldn't eat anybody else either." said young Lenny.

Upon hearing what young Lenny and young Teresa just informed him that they wouldn't eat him at all since they're one of those sharks who wouldn't do anything to eat anybody, the young seal suddenly stopped screaming and fear and calmed himself down, and he suddenly became surprised about what young Lenny and young Teresa just said to him.

"Wait a minute. You guys…you guys aren't gonna eat me?" asked the young seal. Young Lenny and young Teresa shook their heads. "Are you sure about that?" Young Lenny and young Teresa nodded their heads. "Well, if sharks would eat seals or anybody else, then why wouldn't you guys eat seals or anybody else even though you're sharks?"

"'Cause we're one of those sharks who wouldn't eat seals and anybody else." explained young Teresa. "Even though we are sharks, that doesn't mean we're just like those sharks who would eat seals and anybody else. We wouldn't do anything to eat anybody."

"Really?" asked the young seal.

"Yes, really. We're one of those sharks we wouldn't eat seals and anybody else." explained young Lenny. "Also, even though there are sharks who would eat anybody, we're not one of those sharks and we're one of those sharks who wouldn't eat anybody. What we're saying is very true."

Soon, the young seal stops feeling very frightened, and quickly smiles at young Lenny and young Teresa upon learning that they're one of those sharks who wouldn't do anything to eat anybody while they quickly smile back at him.

"Well…I'm starting to feel very happy to learn that you two wouldn't eat me since you're one of those sharks who wouldn't eat seals and anybody else." said the young seal. "Also, I'm really sorry that I got scared of you guys and thought you were gonna eat me 'cause you're sharks. Sorry."

"That's okay. We didn't mean to scare you too, and we're sorry that we scared you 'cause we're sharks." apologized young Teresa.

"It's alright." said the young seal.

"So…why were you crying?" asked young Lenny.

"Huh?" asked the young seal.

"What was the matter? Why were you crying?" asked young Lenny.

"Yeah, why were you crying? Are you alright?" asked young Teresa.

"No. I'm not alright. I'm not alright at all. And the reason why I was crying is because…because…because I'm lost." replied the young seal.

"You're lost?" asked young Teresa.

"Mmm-hmm. You see, I decided to go on an adventure and I end up getting lost here in these wastelands." explained the young seal. "My parents told me I'm allowed to go out on adventures, but they told me I'm not allowed to have adventures around here since it's very dangerous, and I somehow ended up here anyway. I'm trying to find my way back home, but I don't know the way back home. I'm lost, and I need to find my way home."

"Well, where do you live?" asked young Lenny.

"I live at Southside Reef." said the young seal.

"We know the way to Southside Reef, and we can help you find your way back home." said young Lenny.

"You guys help me find my way back home?" asked the young seal.

"Yes, we can. We've been going on a lot of adventures before, and we saw how to get to Southside Reef." said young Teresa. "Where are we at right now, Southside Reef isn't that far from here, and all you have to do is go that way and you'll be back home in no time at all."

"Are you sure?" asked the young seal.

"Mmm-hmm. Just go that way and you'll be back home." said young Lenny. "Southside Reef isn't that far from where we are at, and you'll be able to return back to your home. We promise you'll return to your home soon by going that way, and it's the right way."

"That's right, it is the right way to return to your home, and you'll be home soon if you go that way." said young Teresa. "We promise you'll be able to return back to your home by going that way. We promise."

"Well…alright." said the young seal. "I'll go that way since it's the right way to Southside Reef so I'll be able to go back home in no time at all, and I believe you guys that you're sure about it's the right way to Southside Reef and I'll return back home soon by going that way. Thank you very much for showing me how to get back to Southside Reef so I can go back home soon, guys. Thank you."

"You're welcome." said young Lenny and young Teresa.

"See ya, you two. Bye." said the young seal.

"See ya, man." said young Lenny.

"Bye." said young Teresa.

The young seal showed his gratitude to young Lenny and young Teresa for helping him find his way home and telling him it's the right way to go to Southside Reef just as he kept smiling at them while they kept smiling back at them.

Then, the young seal shook young Lenny's fin and shook young Teresa's fin just as he showed his gratitude to them for helping him out. He waved bye to young Lenny and young Teresa, and he began leaving the wastelands and began heading back to Southside Reef so he could go back home while they watched him leave and waved bye back to him.

End Flashback

"So, we helped a seal to find his way home when he got lost in the wastelands of the ocean during our childhood." said Teresa.

"And we told him the right way to go home and he believed us it was the right way. Also, he was very thankful for helping him out with finding his way home." said Lenny.

"Wow. That…That was really kind of you to help that seal when you two used to be little pups." said Oscar. "You know, I've always heard of sharks eating seals since they're part of their menu, but I never heard of sharks helping a seal find their own way home. You guys are really those kinds of sharks who wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody, and you two are so amazing for doing that act of kindness when you used to be kids. You really are."

"Oh, thank you for telling us that, Oscar." said Lenny.

"Thank you very much, Oscar." said Teresa.

"Also, I wish…I wish…I wish our own dad would understand." said Lenny. "I wish our dad would understand that I'm just…myself. I wish he would understand that I'm my own person. But he always expects me to be a cold-blooded killer just like our brother Frankie, and I guess he would never understand that I'm just the way I am."

"Yes, he will, Lenny. Our father will eventually understand that you're just the way you are." said Teresa. "He will eventually understand that you're just yourself and can't expect you to be a cold-blooded killer just like our brother Frankie 'cause you are your own person. Just give him a little time to understand, alright?"

"Hey, hey, hey. What are you two talking about?" asked Oscar.

"Well, we're talking about how our father has always wanted Lenny to be a killer just like Frankie and how he wouldn't understand that he is just his own person." said Teresa.

"You guys are saying that your dad has always expected Lenny to be a killer just like your brother and how he wouldn't understand that he is just who he is?" asked Oscar.

"Yeah, we sure are." said Teresa. "Also, I've been telling Lenny that he should just give our father a little time to think it over and he'll eventually understand that he is just himself."

"But what if he doesn't understand, Teresa?" asked Lenny.

"He will understand. Just give a little time to think it over." said Teresa.

"Oh, I guess our dad is never gonna accept me for who I am since he always wanted me to be a killer just like Frankie, and I guess he'll never understand." said Lenny. He then laid back down on his bed. "What's wrong with me?"

"Lenny, there is nothing wrong with you." said Teresa. "You're perfect just the way you are, and even though our father has always wanted you to be a killer just like Frankie, he will eventually understand that you are your own person. All you have to do is give him a little time to think it over and he'll eventually understand that you are perfect just the way you are. Also, you can't give up on giving him a little time to understand that you're just yourself."

"What Teresa just said is very true, Lenny. There's nothing wrong with you, man." said Oscar just as he sat on the crates with the flashlight. "You are your own person, and I honestly think it is a good idea to give your dad to understand that you're perfect just the way you are and can't expect you to be a cold-blooded killer just like your brother Frankie 'cause you're just yourself. I agree with her that you should give your dad a little time to think it over and understand that you are your own person and that you can't give up on that so easily."

"But…But…But I'm still not sure if he will ever understand that I'm perfect just the way I am." said Lenny. "Maybe he will never accept me for who I am and understand that I'm just myself. I'm still not sure if he will ever understand that I'm my own person. I'm still not sure about that."

"Well, I'm sure about that. I'm sure that he will accept you for who you are, Lenny." said Teresa. "You need to give him a little time to think it over and he'll eventually understand that you are just yourself and can't expect you to be a killer just like Frankie. You can't give up on giving him a little time to think it over and understand that you are perfect just the way you are. You just can't give up."

"That's right, Lenny." said Oscar. "You can't give up on giving your dad a little time to think it over and understand that you are just yourself. I agree with your sister very much, and you can't give up. Also, since I now know that there are most sharks in the ocean who are friendly and gentle just like you and Teresa, I think all sharks in the ocean should be just like you and your sister."

"Gee, that's sweet of you to say. Thank you for saying that sweet thing to me, Oscar." said Lenny.

"That was really kind of you to say that." said Teresa.

"Also, Lenny, stop blaming yourself for what just happened in the wastelands." said Oscar. "What just happened weeks ago wasn't really your fault, and you weren't responsible for it. Just like Teresa has been saying, you're not to blame for your brother's death and his death was just an accident. Don't blame yourself for his death, and it wasn't really your fault. You weren't really responsible for his death, and you shouldn't blame yourself for it, man."

"Really? I shouldn't blame myself for Frankie's death?" asked Lenny.

"Yes, Lenny. You shouldn't blame yourself for Frankie's death, and it wasn't really your fault." said Teresa. "Like I've been saying, you weren't really responsible for his death. He was killed by the anchor, and when he got killed by the anchor, you were not to blame for it. His death was just an accident, and you need to stop blaming yourself for what just happened in the wastelands weeks ago. Lenny, you would never do something like that to anybody 'cause you're a good person, and you have always loved Frankie very much and I have always loved him very much too. So, Frankie's death wasn't really your fault and you weren't responsible for it, and I know I wasn't responsible for it either. You've always loved Frankie very much, and you're a good person and you would never be responsible for anybody's death. Not ever."

Upon hearing what Oscar and Teresa just explained to him about that he shouldn't keep blaming himself for what just happened weeks ago and that he should stop blaming himself for what just happened, Lenny begins to think it over for a moment, and then he finally understands that Frankie's death wasn't really his fault and he wasn't really responsible for it since he is a good person and would never do such a thing to anybody, even the ones he has always loved very much.

"You're…You're…You're absolutely right." said Lenny. "I should stop blaming myself for what just happened weeks ago, and it wasn't really my fault when Frankie got killed by the anchor. I wasn't really responsible for his death, and I would never do something like that to anybody 'cause I'm a good person. I've always loved Frankie so much, and his death wasn't really my fault. I would never be responsible for anybody's death, and I shouldn't be blaming myself for what just happened weeks ago. Frankie's death wasn't really my fault."

"I'm so happy to hear that you finally understand you weren't responsible for Frankie's death since you would never do that." said Teresa just as she smiled at Lenny. "It's a good thing that you now understand that his death wasn't really your fault. You have always loved Frankie very much just like I have always loved him very much, and you're a good person who would never do something like that to anybody. I'm so glad that you finally understand that Frankie's death wasn't really your fault, Lenny."

"I'm so glad that I finally understand I wasn't really responsible for Frankie's death too." said Lenny.

"Yeah, and I'm so glad that he finally understands that Frankie's death wasn't really his fault too." said Oscar. "Oh, and by the way, if Lenny wanna blame anybody for Frankie's death, he could blame me. I'm fully willing to take the blame for his death and I'm okay with being to blame for his death because I lied about being the Sharkslayer. Also, 'cause if I hadn't been out there in the wastelands in the first place, none of this would have ever happened." He gets up from the crate and begins swimming away.

Upon hearing that Oscar is willing to take the blame for Frankie's death right after he told his great white lie, Teresa suddenly becomes even more concerned about his great white lie since she is completely aware that lying would end up causing more harm than good and would have serious consequences, and Teresa is strongly against the idea of Oscar taking credit for Frankie's death which he had never did in the first place since nothing good would come of it and cause nothing but trouble.

"Wait a minute. Oscar, are you sure you really wanna take the blame for Frankie's death and be okay with being to blame for his death?" asked Teresa. "I honestly think it isn't a good idea for you to do that kind of thing 'cause your little lie could end up getting bigger and bigger sooner or later, and it's gonna cause problems. Also, if Daddy finds out that you killed our brother which is not true at all, he's gonna try to eat you alive."

"Yeah, that's very true, Oscar." said Lenny. "Gee, if Pop knew that you killed our brother which is actually a lie, he's gonna try to kill you for sure."

Oscar suddenly stopped swimming away and looked very surprised just as he turned back to Lenny and Teresa. "Huh? "Eat me alive"?" "Kill me"?"" He chuckled. "Who is your dad anyway? Is he the godfather of the great white shark mafia or something?"

"Yeah." said Lenny.

"What do you mean "yeah"?" asked Oscar just as he still chuckled.

"Yeah, he is. He is our father, Oscar." said Lenny.

"Oscar, our father is Don Edward Lino." explained Teresa. "He's the one who runs Southside Reef for many years, he's the crime boss of the great white shark mafia, and he's one of the most feared crime bosses in the Atlantic Ocean. If he found out that you were the one who was responsible for our brother Frankie's death which you weren't really responsible for, then he will try to take you out."

Upon hearing what Lenny and Teresa both just informed him, Oscar suddenly became filled with complete fear to learn that they are Don Lino's children just as he gulped, and the dead shark he falsely claimed that he killed in order to become rich and famous so he could become a somebody and get respect from others which is Frankie is actually one of Don Lino's children.

Oscar thought to himself. "The godfather of the great white shark mafia?! The crime boss of the great white shark mafia?! Lenny and Teresa's dad is…Don Edward Lino?! The shark who is responsible for killing many fish and other sea creatures more than any other shark in the entire Atlantic Ocean?!"

"Hey, buddy, are you alright? What's wrong?" said Lenny just as he became concerned about Oscar.

"Yeah, what's the matter? Are you alright?" asked Teresa.

"No, I'm not alright! Not at all!" Oscar thought to himself. "I'm responsible for killing Don Lino's son! I'm responsible for killing one of his children! If he finds out, I'm gonna be a dead fish for sure!"

Then, Oscar quickly swims out of the Whale Wash storage warehouse just as he is now filled with complete fear upon learning that Lenny and Teresa are Don Lino's children and that Frankie is one of his children since he is Lenny and Teresa's brother, and he realized that since he has took credit for Frankie's death which he never did in the first place, then Don Lino would attempt to kill him for killing one of his children.

Once Oscar has left the Whale Wash storage warehouse in complete fear, Lenny and Teresa have both watched him leave just as they are both concerned for him. Also, Lenny looked very confused about why Oscar suddenly became very terrified just as he was still concerned about him and Teresa was still concerned about Oscar while she was also still concerned about how his great white lie will end up causing more harm than good and will have serious consequences since lying is very wrong.

"Teresa, what was wrong with Oscar? Why did he look like that?" asked Lenny.

"I think I already know the answer to that question, Lenny." said Teresa.
