"Arthur! Arthur! Up here!" Arthur glanced up from his thoughts to see the young Alfred up on the top of the mast, in the crow's nest. Sighing, Arthur reached up and rubbed his temples with his fingers.

"What do ya want, Alfred?" Arthur asked, glancing back up. Alfred had a large smiled on his face, like he had just discovered something amazing. And, he might have done just that.

"Come up here! I found somethin' and I don't know what it is!"

"If ya don't know what it is, why would I want to come see it?! It's probably just somethin' stupid again!" Arthur growled in irritation. Many times had Alfred tried to show Arthur something he thought was interesting. Though... many of those times turned out to be false alarms and turned out to be something simple and dumb.

"But, this is comin' out of the water! It's all colorful!" Arthur froze for a bit only to glance out at sea. They were coming up on a couple rocks that stuck out of the water here and there, so maybe Alfred was just seeing the rocks. He couldn't spot anything that was colorful. "Come up here and look!" Sighing, Arthur stood up just to hush the boy. After a small stretch to straighten everything out, he walked over to the middle of the ship and climbed up to the top of the mast, exactly where Alfred was at. Alfred back up and let Arthur in. Once up top, Arthur took a look around. Though, even at this height, he couldn't see anything color. Just rocks and water.

"Alfred… There is nothin' there…" Arthur sighed as he turned back around, wanting to go back down to the deck of the ship.

"Wait! Look through the telescope! You can see it better!" Alfred held out the telescope with a large smile. Sighing in irritation, Arthur turned back around and snatched the telescope from the young boy's hand. Looking through the seeing glass, he adjusted it to fit his eye before looked around. And of course, he didn't see anything. No movement, no colorful colors, no nothing. Just rocks, water and sky as far as the eye can see. Just as he was about to hand the telescope back to Alfred, his eye caught something… red. The red thing flicked out of the water only to disappear back under. "Did you see it?!"

"Aye…" Arthur watched a bit to see the red thing flip back out of the water. It looked a bit like… A tail. "What in the world…?"

"I know!" Alfred smiled. "It's so cool! What is it?! Do you know what it is?!" Alfred looked back out at sea in hope, jumping a bit in excitement.

"No…" Instantly, Alfred froze and looked back at Arthur.

"No? Y-You don't know…?"

"No." Arthur moved his attention back out at sea, looking to see if he could tell, at all, what this 'tail' thing was. To his surprise, a dark blue tail and a white tail flipped out of the water as well, only to disappear just as quickly as they appeared. As interested as he was, Arthur removed the telescope from his eye and handed it back to Alfred. Alfred looked up at Arthur, blinking in wonder.

"Th-Then… W-What is it?" Alfred asked, gripping onto the looking-glass.

"It's probably just colorful fish. Nothin' to worry about, Alfred."

"Fish?" Alfred' tilted his head.

"Of course. Now, don't bother me again unless you are about to die." Slowly, Alfred nodded before looking back out, wanting to watch the 'fish' more. Arthur looked at Alfred only to lightly sigh and climb back down. He knew that they were anything but fish. The 'tails', as he believes, are too big to be that of a fish, even in the telescope. But… What was it then? Never had he seen anything like that before… Never…
