I wanted to make Bob's death become more dramatic and more cooler. Let me know if this is a cool chapter.

Chapter 4: The Last Catch

Edna walked towards Shiverpool to see her husband head out to the ocean to catch some fish. He was always swimming around the oceans of Shiverpool to find some fishes for his family. She sighed and didn't want her husband to find out that she's lurking about. Shortly after seeing that he's swimming, she turned around and returned to the igloo, hopefully to wait for him to come home.

Meanwhille, Cody has been hiding in one of the fish piles without his mother noticing and as he saw her walking back to the igloo, he snuck towards the ocean to see what his father does best, which is catching a fish.

He slid towards the icy parts of Shiverpool and headed closely towards the water, while Bob was unaware that his son was standing there, witnessing what he's attempted to do now.

Then, Bob dived headfirst out of the iceberg as he saw a fish heading this way and into the water he goes to catch a fish. He swam underwater and starts popping in and out of the water to catch the whole fish. Cody couldn't help but watch his father catch a fish.

Cody smiled at him and shouted, "Get that fish, dad!"

Soon enough, Bob heard him while he was catching the fish, hopping in and out of the water.

"What are you doing out here?"

He turned around and saw Edna standing behind him and answered, "Watching papa catching the fish."

"I thought you were outside. I just hope your father is safe."

They both saw Bob leaping up and down the water to catch the fish when suddenly, he leaps up towards the air and lands back down the water. After a few seconds, Edna was anxiously waiting to see if he made it, whereas Cody was confident that he caught it.

"Think your father's all right?"

"Uh-huh. Of course he is."

They were waiting near the ocean to see if he caught it or not, and within a few seconds....

POW!

A flipper comes out and in holds a fish. Cody gasped and felt totally amazed by his father's attempt to catch it. He shouted, "You caught it, papa! You caught it!"

Then, his head pops out and swims towards a chunk of ice and he stands there, holding the fish and showing it to Cody and Edna. He panted heavily and told Cody, "You see? Your father is the best fisher in all of Shiverpool!"

"Great work, honey. Can you swim back to shore?"

Then, he felt something underneath the ice chunk and it was a bump. Bob didn't know what it is, then Edna asked, "Are you all right?"

"Yeah. I think I'll make it back in shore in no time."

"Are you sure?"

"You're always doubting yourself. I'm pretty sure I can get back to shore. Easy peasy lemon--"

Then, a loud growl was heard from underwater and then, Edna asked, "What was that?"

Then, Bob looks down the water and finds out what it is. He looks nervous, and then he looks at them and said, "I'm pretty sure it's nothing. I'll just make it out as soon as I--"

Then, the growl grew even more louder and then, Cody asked, "What is that, papa?"

"I don't know, son. For all we know it might be a--"

Then, all of a sudden, in comes the animal that penguins fear the most of all. Then, Bob screamed out, "WHALE!!!!"

The whale tries to catch Bob, but missed because he jumped out of the ice chunk and into the water. He threw the fish to Cody and exclaimed, "Catch it, son!"

As Cody sees the fish thrown across the shore, he jumps over to catch it and holds on to it. As Bob tries to swim back to horse, the whale jumps out of nowhere in front of him and then, he leaps out of the air with his mouth open.

Cody sees this coming and ducked his head down and screamed out a ear-piercing, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" throughout the entire area of Shiverpool.

The scream echoed and for the longest time, there was silence. He opens his eyes and sees both his father and the whale gone. Edna and Glen were walking back to the ocean, shocked that there was no one in the ocean.

"Is he...." Glen began.

"I knew this would happen someday." Edna said, tearfully.

"Mama, look at the fish papa gave us!" Cody exclaimed, happily.

Edna's eyes were filled with tears and said, "I see he left this for us."

"Can we eat it now?"

She started to cry and said, "No, we can't eat it right now."

"Why? Wh-where's papa?"

Glen and Edna looked at each other and there was no way he can explain to Cody that his father is dead. She sighed and held both his shoulders and said, "Cody, your father....has gone away."

"Is he coming back?"

Edna sighed more heavily as the tears rolled down her eyes and replied, "No. He's not coming back."

It kinda hit Cody really hard to hear that his father isn't coming back. Then, his mother told him, "Go back inside."

"Yes, mama." he said sadly.

A single icy-tear rolled from his eyes as he walked back home, holding the fish behind him. It was hard for him to believe that his father is gone and that he's not coming back at all.

He looked behind and whispered, tearfully, "Cody's me, let me be me."

It was just his way of saying, 'I love you, papa. And I will never, ever forget you.'

It was sad, wasn't it? Well, I hope you like it. Also, Happy Birthday, Cody the Maverick! Stay tuned for more.
