A bonito fish fell into the water. Mere moments later, Flipper snapped it up.
Quickly, Flipper circled around for another attack. He did not have to wait long, as another fish hit the water, this time one called an amberjack. On instinct, Flipper charged, taking a moment to strike the fish with his long nose before quickly biting it in half. The half he didn't eat was quickly devoured by his sister. Satisfied for the moment, Flipper broke off while the rest of his pod moved to take his place at the feeding site.
The new seas Flipper had arrived in were strange ones - for starters, they were far warmer than he was used to. More importantly, his pod never had to worry about running out of food - the hairless two legged land creatures always fed them, even though there was plenty for them to catch in their new home. Offer still, though, was their company. When Flipper had been prowling the edge of their new home, he'd been surprised to see something big and scaly swimming below him. His first thought was that it was a snake, based on smell. But snakes didn't have flippers! Or tail flukes. Or really big teeth. Also, it was a lot warmer than the snakes. Finally, the snake was big enough that it had been able to stun Flipper when it charge him, though since it didn't try to eat him, Flipper assumed the big snake thing was not hungry.
Still somewhat confused by what he had seen, Flipper had surfaced near the shoreline, trying to examine the new land he had arrived at. That was where he saw the second strange thing - something was eating a shark. Oddly, though, it stood on two legs, had tiny forelimbs, and a mix of scales and feathers on its body. Briefly, it had stared at him, before continuing to eat the shark. Though Flipper had betrayed no emotion to the carnivore, just seeing it made him worried - it seemed there were now creatures on the land that could be dangerous to him.
Still, Flipper liked his new home. Food was common, competition was rare, and the weather was normally nice. To think they had arrived here on the brink of starvation, seven to beach themselves in search of food because bad weather had forced them out of their normal hunting grounds and depleted their normal harvest. All that was in the past now.
At peace, Flipper retreated back beneath the waves, and began to search for crabs. The spiny things were so much fun to play with!
