Lexi 10
Lexi's POV
"Lexi, Wake Up Already!" Zak shouted at me. I groaned and swatted him away, turning over. I heard him whisper something to Fisk. I decided to ignore it and try to sleep. Surprisingly Zak just stood there until Fisk returned. I heard something being handed to one another, and decided to be cautious. Suddenly then a loud horn noise exploded right in my ear, and I swear I jumped ten feet out of bed and yelped. I landed with a thud on my pillow and looked at Zak who was cracking up and rolling in laughter on the floor with Fisk.
"Not funny," I growled at them. Fisk was laughing so hard now; he whipped a tear from his eye.
"How is that even that funny?" I yelled. They stopped, looked at my expression of anger at the whole situation and then they burst out in laughter all over again.
"Oh, that's it." I said deciding to join in. They sprung up and started jokingly taunting me. Then they ran. I ran after them laughing as well. They slid down the stairway railing and I slid after them, and turned into a bird.
"Hey no fair that's cheating!" Zak cackled.
"Fine." I turned back into Lexi and leaped to catch back up. My hair was straight now and at not quite even lengths, but not with layers. I had flat ironed it last night after the brawl. We ran into the main room and they dove behind a table.
"I see you!"
They pounced out of they're hiding spot and I was at the opposite end of the table.
"Going to work in your pajamas kids?"
I looked down. I was wearing pajamas with purple waves, alligators and lotus flowers.
Then I looked at Zak's plain orange, yellow, and white P.J.'s.
"Go change into something that can get wet."
I ran back to my room and dug out a T-shirt and some worn jeans. The T-shirt had a picture of a dragon in pop art. One quarter was purple and blue, another was green and yellow, the third was orange and red and the last quadrant was pink and gold.
I walked to the door and Zak appeared he handed me a suit.
"Are you crazy?"
"What?"
"I can just transform into a dolphin or something. You don't need one either."
"What if I change back?"
"I'm more powerful now, just don't think about your human form."
"Okay."
"Zak! Lexi! We'll be waiting in the Saturdays Sub!"
"Sure!"
"Let's go."
We ran downstairs and out the door. What underwater cryptid are we going after?"
"I think they said something about the kraken last night."
"How'd you know?"
"I was going to secretly watch weird world on my dad's new laptop." Long pause no answer.
"What? It has high definition." I nodded my head to the people behind him.
"Mom and Dad are standing right behind me aren't they?"
"You said it not me."
Zak turned around.
"Hi mom. Hi dad."
"Zak! How many times do we have to tell you not to watch that man's show?" Doc said.
"You should no better! I mean we finally got you to stop watching it but when Doyle told us he's dead you started watching the show again, your mom almost lost her eyes when we went to Ahuizotl's town!"
"Sorry…." Zak looked sheepish.
"I mean what do you want to watch that show for, you've done everything to see it. What's up? Is there something you'd like to tell us? Is it like a dare, or deal or something?"
Zak tensed up when his dad said the word deal. I thought at first Doc noticed it and if he did he shrugged it off.
"We'll talk later. Right now the Kumari's serpent is being attacked, and is becoming sicker and sicker with each attack from the kraken."
"Wait why aren't you too in your suits?" Drew asked.
"I can turn into water animals too don't forget."
"And she can turn me temporarily into one whenever."
"And good clothes won't get wet either! Yay!" I said trying to lighten up the mood.
"Wonderful."
"Get in."
"I'll swim."
"You're going to get tired."
"I- I know."
Zak's eyes started to glow and he looked at me.
"She's scared of submarines," He said officially. I glared at him. He was not on my good list. At least not right now.
I growled at him and leaped into the air changing instantly into a dolphin. I started to get a head start while the rest got in.
I swam at a slow speed waiting for them to get ahead so I would know where I was going. They slowly picked up speed and I followed flopping my tail up and down doing tricks in the water for them. Fisk would clap occasionally. It's official. I am the show off type.
The submarine rose to the surface and I followed it. When I reached the surface I did an impressive flip and tail walk.
"Do want to change Zak now?" Doc asked.
"Sure…" I swam up to Zak and pulled him into the water. I dragged him, and he used his power to see which animal I was thinking about. Then he transformed into a bottlenose dolphin.
Let go of me! He said to me through a series of high-pitched squeaks.
I'm giving you more power, you'll stay dolphin longer.
Oh. I held his arm/ flipper for a minute or so before we popped up.
"Well, I can tell who's who," Drew said.
I looked down. I was the most crystal blue colored dolphin I've ever seen. Then I looked at Zak. He was more a silver color.
"Great now. It's time to get a move on."
I dove back beneath the surface and swam on. Zak swam beside me and started to talk to me in dolphin.
Race ya!
Hey! Wait! No! That's not fair! I don't know where it is!
Heh, You'll figure it out.
I sped ahead of him letting him get ahead slightly and then when the kingdom was in sight zipped right past him.
First one three times around is the winner.
I'll go for that, I squeaked back at him.
On three…
One
Two three! I said as hastily as I could.
I flipped through the water with ease, but Zak flopped clumsily after me.
Wait! This isn't fair you've been a dolphin longer and more times than I have! He squealed with false anger.
Actually this is my second time being a dolphin, first time being an actual dolphin. The first time I was a Mahi Mahi.
I swam faster.
Then how do you adjust so quickly?
You'll get used to it.
