The very next morning, Garret awoke to the rays of the sun shining down on his face and the sound of growling. He sleepily opened his eyes and sat up looking around wondering what the sound was or where it was coming from. He looked beside him to find that Sebastian who was sleeping next to him was also awake. He then looked ahead and saw what was making the noise.

Ariel along with Flounder was still trying her best to teach Spot how to be fierce like the killer whale he was. She was doing a demonstration of being fierce by making a face and growling like some kind of creature to try and get Spot to understand.

"You see Spot? Just like that," said Ariel. "Now you try."

Spot looked at Ariel curiously still not understanding what she was trying to teach him. Ariel sighed as she sank to her fins having to have lost all hope for Spot. Garret and Sebastian looked at each other and then swam over to Ariel and Flounder.

"Still not understanding huh?" asked Garret.

Ariel shook her head sadly. "He's never gonna get it, is he?"

"He loves you Ariel," said Sebastian. "He's got dat part down just fine."

"But he shouldn't. He needs to be wild. He can't live in the sea if he isn't wild," lamented Ariel hanging her head. "You were right, Sebastian. I should have never, never have taken him home."

"Ariel, come on. You don't mean that," said Garret disapprovingly.

"Yes I do," said Ariel.

Garret could see how sad Ariel was and felt sorry for her. He wanted to help her teach Spot, but if she couldn't teach him, there was a high possibility that he couldn't either. The best thing he could think of to do at the moment was to try and ease Ariel's sadness. He then sat next to her.

"Look Ariel, you did a good thing by bringing Spot to Atlantica," he said. "In fact, if it wasn't for you, Spot would have been a goner a long time ago."

"Really?" asked Ariel.

"Of course," said Garret. "Sure it was a bit crazy and we were all against it, but your heart was in the right place. Spot was all alone when we found him and scared stiff of everything, but you showed him kindness and love and in return taught Spot how to be kind back. I'd say that's a feat in of itself."

"That's right," said Flounder. "I personally thought Spot was going to eat us, but now he's the best baby brother I've ever had."

"And I hate ta admit it," added Sebastian. "But even I've grown fond of da boy. He may be a killer whale, but he's a good kid. Although I wish he'd stop launching me."

"You see? Even Crabby agrees," said Garret. "We will find a solution for this. We will make Spot understand what it means to be wild. Heck, he probably already knows how to be wild. He just hasn't realized it yet. Not to mention its only been one day. You brought Spot into our lives and treated him like one of the family. And as a family, we can't quit on him. You are his mother after all."

Ariel looked at Garret, Flounder, and Sebastian and then at Spot who smiled at Ariel giving her a loving nuzzle. She then smiled.

"Thanks you guys," she said. "You're right. We can't give up. We'll keep on trying until we make Spot-"

Suddenly, a school of fish shot right past them like a storm of arrows kicking up bubbles and dust.

"What the heck was that about?" asked Garret.

"I don't know," said Flounder.

Ariel then looked to the distance towards the darker waters where the fish came from. Garret then came up next to her.

"Ariel? What is it?" asked Garret. "Is something wrong?"

Ariel didn't answer. She continued to stare in the distance as if she was waiting to confirm something. Garret then looked too. When he did, he saw three strange and large creatures coming toward them. At first, Garret couldn't make out what they were and then... his eyes widened in horror, his face turned white as a sheet, he couldn't speak or breathe, and his heart practically stopped beating in his chest.

As much as he wished they weren't, there was no denying what creatures were coming. He had seen these creatures many times back at home whether be from a book or a TV, but he hoped that he would never run into this animal in real life.

The creatures soon could be seen. They all were big, had dark grey skin with white bellies, had red piercing eyes with yellow scleras, had curved fins and most of all, white razor sharp teeth.

As soon as Garret could see them clearly, his screamed at the top of his lungs.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKS!"

"Swim you for it guys!" yelled Ariel

"De reef! Make for de reef!" cried Sebastian as he was immediately scooped up by Ariel who took off swimming as fast as her fins could carry her.

Everyone immediately scattered in different directions. Garret went one way, Ariel carrying Sebastian went another way, Spot swam in another direction, and Flounder another way. The sharks also split up as well; one going after Garret, another after Flounder, and the third after Ariel and Sebastian.


Flounder swam as fast as his little fins could carry him in another part of the area, but the shark was hot on his heels snapping his jaws trying to take a bite out of his tail. Flounder screamed in terror as he dodged one snap after another. The shark grew closer and closer and was about to eat Flounder with a single chomp, but luckily a ledge was there causing Flounder to swim up making the shark hit the rock. The shark may be known one of the top predators for its teeth, but not even its teeth could chomp through rock.

The shark was temporarily stunned making Flounder seize his chance. He swam deeper and deeper into the trench trying to get further and further away from the shark.

Then there was trouble.

In his haste of getting away, Flounder accidentally swam into a bush of seaweed and ended up getting tangled into its leaves.

To make things worse, the shark was starting to regain his composure and soon enough, it would see him and go for the kill.

"ARIEL!"


Garret was swimming as fast as his fins could pump as another shark chased him. He was scared... no he was terrified of what was chasing him. He kept on swimming desperately trying to get get away. The shark snapped his jaws trying to get a bite out of Garret's tail.

Garret was terrified and desperately willed his fins to make him go as fast as he wanted to go, but his speed was no match for the shark's. If he didn't do something quick, he would get caught and would be mincemeat.

He swam around randomly hoping to get the shark off of his tail, but the shark stayed on him.

Garret zig-zagged, swerved, and desperately tried to shake the shark off, but the shark was able to stay on him.

Soon Garret came to the rock formation with a hole where he and the others first found Spot. This gave Garret an idea. It was a long shot, but he didn't care as long as he could do something to slow the shark down. He swam through the hole which was big enough for him, but not for the shark. The shark tried to swim through the hole, but due to his large size, it ended up getting stuck. It thrashed about struggling to get free.

Garret then took off swimming glad that he is idea worked, but was desperate to get as far away as possible. Then he heard a voice in the distance.

"ARIEL!"

Garret immediately knew who that was. "That's gotta be Flounder!" he thought.

He was about to swim away, but then he hesitated. Was this really the best idea? I mean he was going up against three sharks and he was feeling terrified for going up against them. On the other hand, Flounder was in danger and someone needed to help him. Then Garret noticed that the shark was gradually starting to break free from the rock which mean that had to get out of there before it got free and resumed chasing him. Garret then swam away following the sound of Flounder's scream.


Meanwhile, Spot was still swimming away fearful that the sharks were chasing him. When he knew that the sharks weren't chasing him anyone, he let out a shaky breath feeling relieved that he got away. Then heard a scream that echoed throughout the area.

"ARIEL!"

This made Spot stop swimming and look back. He knew exactly who made that scream. It was his little brother Flounder! His relief then turned into worry and guilt. He was still scared because of those terrifying sharks and didn't know what to do, but at the same time, he felt guilty for being such a coward. He knew that his brother was in danger and needed help.

Spot took a deep breath and plucked up courage and then swam swiftly back to where Ariel and the rest of his family were hoping that they would be alright.


Ariel was swimming as fast as she could trying to shake off the second shark while carrying Sebastian in her arm. Then she suddenly heard Flounder scream.

"ARIEL!"

"Oh no! Flounder!" she cried as she immediately changed direction heading straight to where she heard his voice which was coming for the lower levels of the reef. She then saw Flounder who was tangled in the seaweed and the shark that was closing in on him. Ariel immediately swam down desperately trying to get to Flounder before the shark went for the kill. But as fast as she was, there was no way she would make it in time.

Then suddenly from out of nowhere and another direction, someone swam towards Flounder and scooped him out of the bush from harm's way just in time with the shark still after him. It was Garret! Not only that, but as he swam by, the shark that was chasing him collided with the shark that was targeting Flounder stunning them both. The third shark which was still chasing Ariel and Sebastian still pursued them snapping his jaws trying to bite his prey.

At the same time, Spot had arrived on the scene and what he saw made his eyes go wide. He could see the other two sharks who had recovered from the collision resume chasing his family while the first was hot on Ariel and Garret's fins. When he saw the shark snapping at their fins with its sharp teeth and heard Flounder crying in terror, something snapped inside of him.

Then for the first time ever, Spot became an angry and raging killer whale. He growled barring his teeth as he immediately swam after them on a mission to save his family. There was no way those mean old sharks were going to make a meal out of his family! Not if he had anything to say about it!

Ariel and the others soon came to a large structure which had the appearance of a gigantic shell.

"Head for the shell!" cried Ariel.

Garret and Flounder did so. But as they reached the entrance to the shell, they looked inside. The inside was filled with various different holes and walls and it seemed to be narrow, but the structure itself looked like it wouldn't be enough hold back the sharks. It didn't appear to be the best place to hide from the sharks, but it was the only option they had.

The four of them immediately swam into the shell. The sharks continued at their current speed smashing through right through the shell's walls causing the entrance of the shell to collapse.

Not far away, Spot was right behind them, but he immediately stopped when he got to the entrance which was now filled with jagged broken pieces of the shell blocking his way.

Spot knew that it was too dangerous to swim through. He had to find another way to get inside. Spot looked around trying to see of there were any openings. Then he saw it. All the way on the other side and topside of the shell, there was a small hole. Spot also knew that was where Ariel and the others would end up. Knowing just what to do, Spot then shot towards the top of the shell as fast as tail could pump, determined to save his family.

Ariel and company swam deeper and deeper into the shell. They soon came to a wall with a narrow hole. It was a bit small, but it was enough for Ariel and the others to swim through.

Flounder swam through first, then Sebastian, and then Garret. Ariel was just about to, but then she suddenly realized something.

"Wait a second!" she cried. "Where's Spot?!"

"I don't know, but you better get over here quick!" yelled Garret. "Otherwise-"

He was then interrupted with a mighty crash and a smash. The four of them looked back and gasped in horror for the three sharks were smashing right though the walls of the shell getting closer and closer to them. Ariel immediately swam through, but her hips were so wide, that she got a little stuck in the hole. Seeing that Ariel was in trouble, Garret immediately grabbed a hold of Ariel's hands and pulled her through just as the sharks came chopping getting stuck in the holes due to their large size. For the moment, the four were safe, but the wall wouldn't hold much longer.

Then they saw an opening that led outside, but to their horror, the holes were too narrow to any of them to fit through. It was then that Ariel and the others realized that they were trapped. Everyone was now fearful having to have no where else to go.

Garret desperately tried to think of a way out of this situation, but he was too scared and panicky to think of anything. He wanted out of this horrible situation. He wanted out of this hell. Most of all, he didn't want to die. Not like this.

Then the sharks finally broke through and Garret shut his eyes waiting for the end and Ariel instinctively shielded Garret, Flounder, and Sebastian by putting her body between them and the sharks.

Just when they thought that all would be lost, there was a ferocious growl and something burst through the opening making the sharks immediately stop. Ariel and Garret looked and could not believe their eyes for Spot had burst through coming to their rescue.

Spot growled fiercely at the sharks and tackled straight into them using his superior strength to break through the wall of the shell, forcing them outside.

Garret's jaw dropped with surprise as did Ariel and the others and they looked through the hole in amazement.

The sharks were temporarily stunned from Spot's assault, but they managed to regain their composure. And they were not happy having to have been rudely interrupted by this perpetrator.

One of the sharks snapped its jaws and made a beeline right for Spot wanting to make him pay, but Spot growled not backing down. With a mighty swing of his tail, Spot smacked the shark right in the snout stunning him and gave him another smack sending him flying.

The second then came at Spot hoping to catch him off guard with a sneak attack, but Spot seeing it coming used his tail again smacking the shark and making it all turned around. Feeling confused and a bit frightened, the brute desperately tried to swim away, but Spot immediately clamped onto its tail using his teeth as he spun him around and around eventually letting go and sending that shark flying too.

The last shark wanting to avenge his comrades came right at Spot with its teeth barred, but Spot gave it a wicked headbutt upwards sending the beast flying up. When it came back down and was close enough, Spot landed the final blow by giving the last shark one more mighty whip of his tail sending it flying as well.

All three of the sharks flew in the water until all three slammed right into a cliff. Feeling battered, dazed, and beaten up, the three shark fell until they landed into an old wooden boat. Being unable to take their weight, the boat skidded down the cliff and disappeared into the abyss below never to be seen again.

After a few seconds of realizing what had just happened, Ariel and the others cheered.

"He did it! He did it! He saved us!" cheered Ariel.

"Dat's my nephew man!" whooped Sebastian.

"Little Spot! My baby brother!" said Flounder proudly.

Garret was still shaking from fright, but that fearful shaking changed into shaking with excitement. "Ha ha! Way to go, Spot! I knew you had it in you!" he yelled happily.

Spot then swam over to his family feeling very proud of himself as Ariel wrapped her arms around his nose and Garret gave him a pat on his head.

"Thank you so much, Spot," said Ariel. "You saved all of our lives. My father would have to let you stay now."

Then they all heard a strange sound. The sound of wailing just like his. Spot upon hearing that sound, turned around wondering what that sound was as did Ariel and company.

"What is it, Spot?" asked Ariel.

"I think... that's Spot's family, Ariel," said Garret.

Sure enough, a great distance away from them, a large pod of whales was breaching in the distance. Upon seeing them, Spot's face brightened with joy and he immediately swam towards his pod.

Garret looked at Ariel expecting her to stop him from leaving, but she didn't. She watched sadly as Spot swam further and further away.

"You're not going to stop him?" he asked.

"No. He's... going home," said Ariel trying her best not to be sad. "It's right for him to go."

"I suppose so," said Garret as he looked back at Spot swimming with his pod also feeling a little sad. "I guess that we should get home too."

"Yeah, but I'm gonna miss de little nipper," mused Sebastian.

The four then started to swim back to Atlantica feeling sad that Spot was now gone, but then there was a loud familiar wail. The four looked back to see that Spot was coming towards them.

Ariel's face immediately brightened and she swam to Spot meeting him halfway.

"Oh Spot, you came back! You came back!" said Ariel joyfully thinking that Spot wanted to stay with her.

But Garret knew that wasn't the reason Spot came back to her. He could tell from the sad smile on Spot's face and Ariel could see this too.

"Ariel... I think Spot came here to say goodbye," he said slowly.

"Is that it, Spot?" asked Ariel.

Spot gave a sad squeal and nodded his head. Ariel felt sad once again, but she knew that this was for the best.

"I understand, Spot," she said petting his nose. "You're a real whale now, but... you're not my whale anymore. Go home Spot. I'll miss you."

"Goodbye Spot. You were a good baby brother," sniffed Flounder who was trying his best not to cry.

"It was fun while it lasted," said Garret hugging Spot's nose. "And we may have had a short time together, but you'll always be a good friend to us, Spot."

"Well Spot, you take care man," said Sebastian surprisingly chipper. "It's been a pleasure knowing you. Well... most of de time anyway. Don't forget to write!"

Spot then looked at Sebastian and then before Sebastian had a chance to react, he was bouncing on top of his nose like he was a ball.

Sebastian was frantic knowing what was coming next. "No! Spot! Stop! Don't do it!" he shrieked.

But it was too late. Spot had bounced Sebastian onto his tail and flung him sending him rocketing upwards. Sebastian was launched so high that he practically shot out of the water past the surface. As Sebastian came back down, Ariel managed to catch him in her hands.

Then with a wave of his flipper and a goodbye grunt, Spot then swam back with his pod having to have finally been reunited with his family. Ariel and the others waved goodbye until Spot and his pod were out of sight.

"Well, there he goes..." said Garret smiling sadly. "It's amazing how they grow up so fast huh?"

"Yeah. Well... at least now Spot's back with his family and he'll be able to fend for himself," said Ariel. "Well then, what do you say we get back home and tell Daddy about what happened?"

"I agree," said Sebastian. "He'll be pleased ta hear about dis man."

And with that, Ariel and the others swam back to Atlantica eager to tell King Triton the good news.


Soon they all returned to Atlantica safe and sound. Ariel and the others swam towards the palace hoping to speak to King Triton about Spot. Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian were eager, but Garret on the other hand felt exhausted, so much in fact that he was a little behind with Ariel and the others.

"What's wrong Garret?" asked Flounder. "You feeling sick or something?"

"Not really," panted Garret. "I'm just a little tired that's all. With all the surprises we just experienced, I guess all that adrenaline wore me out."

"I don't blame you man," said Sebastian. "Anyone would feel rather exhausted after narrowly escaping from a shark attack."

"Do you want to go take a rest in your room?" asked Ariel.

"That would be nice," said Garret. "Sorry about this guys, but you go tell King Triton about Spot without me. Honestly, I had enough thrills for one day."

"Alright then," said Ariel. "Make sure you rest up then, Garret. We'll see you in a bit."

Then Ariel, Sebastian, and Flounder swam to the throne room while Garret headed to his room. Needless to say, him feeling tired was an understatement. He looked at his hands and saw that they were still shaking slightly. He could still remember those sharks and how terrifying they looked. If Spot hadn't shown up when he did, he and the others would have surely been in trouble.

"Spot may have been able to save us, but still... I shudder to think what would have happened if he didn't show," he said to himself. "One thing's for sure, I never wanna see another shark in my life."

He then thought about Spot and how happy he was having to be reunited with his family. It made him happy for him, but at the same time, made him slightly jealous.

"I wish I could see my family right now," he thought to himself. "I really miss my family too."

Garret then began thinking about his mom, his dad, and even his little sister Lucy. He really missed them quite a lot and longed to see them again.

"Mom... Dad... Lucy..." he thought to himself. "I really miss you guys... I'd give anything to see you all again... but... I don't know how to."

Soon enough, Garret came to the door of his room. He was just about to open the door and go inside when he heard a strange sound. It was the sound of strange singing. At first, he didn't know what they sound was, but then his eyes widened.

"Wait a second," he said. "I know that sound! That's the singing I heard before I came into this world!"

He immediately darted down the halls of the palace trying to find where the singing was coming from. But as he swam searching for the source of the singing, he could hear the singing grow fainter and fainter meaning that he was getting further away. Garret looked around trying to find out where else it was coming from. Then he looked up and swam up the ceiling. He could hear the singing coming from above him.

"It sounds like it's coming from the upper levels," he thought.

He then swam outside of the palace and headed upwards towards to the top of the palace. As he swam, the singing grew louder and louder meaning he was growing closer and closer.

He soon reached where the singing was coming from. The Royal Treasury. Garret then went inside and the singing was now very loud meaning that it was coming from somewhere in the treasury. He looked around searching through all the king's treasures hoping to find the source. But he didn't see anything special or out of the ordinary. Not only that, but the singing had stopped.

"Oh no! I can't hear it anymore," said Garret. "Now what'll I do?"

He looked around the treasury trying to find anything strange or something that could give him a clue, but sadly he couldn't find anything. He felt a little disappointed.

"Darn it. I lost the voice," he said. "And here I was hoping I'd find a way to get home. But... I guess I must have been hearing things."

Garret sadly began to swim out of the treasury. As he did and without knowing, he swam right past a mirror which looked a little similar to the one at his house. It was gold and had a teal gem on top.

Then suddenly, the teal gem on the mirror began to glow causing Garret to stop and look back while shielding his eyes.

"What the heck?!" cried Garret.

Then suddenly, a huge torrent of bubbles erupted from the mirror and shot straight at Garret. Garret was about to swim away, but the torrent of bubbles immediately surrounded him making a ring. The bubbles swirled around and around encasing Garret in a dome of bubbles. Garret then felt something like a magnetic pull draw him towards the mirror.

"Oh no! Not again!" yelled Garret.

Then bubbles suddenly made Garret shoot forward heading right towards the mirror. Garret flinched thinking that he would crash into it, but instead, he was sucked right into the mirror vanishing from existence.
