Chapter 4: Rescue

Hazel

"We were, uh… shopping?" Hazel tells her father. "Shopping?" Hazel's father says, like it's not an excuse. Hazel bit her lip and said, "Well, you know, for Winter and Hope." Her father hadn't seen the pile of, toys yet, so he didn't exactly know the real reason they were being "defensive". "Where are the toys, anyway?" He asked. Sawyer and Hazel scoot out of the way, and her father had quickly realized they were being "defensive". "We, uh, kind of… brought a lot." Sawyer mumbles to her father, while trying to be, happy. Hazel bit her lip again, and says, "Why don't we show Winter and Hope there new toys?" Hazel's father let's her go anyway, and walks back to his office. Sawyer helps pick up all the toys, and starts replacing old toys with the new ones. Winter does the tweety bird at Sawyer, and he doesn't look at her, so Winter splashes Sawyer. Winter shrieks, and Sawyer turns around to say, "Hey!" Winter sinks underwater, thinking Sawyer can't splash her back underwater. Hazel walks around to the other edge of the pool, and Hope follows her. Hope tweets, and Winter shrieks back. Sawyer sits by the edge by the pool, and dries off with a towel he found in his backpack. Hazel sits directly on the other side of the pool across from Sawyer, and plays with Hope and the new toys.

Phoebe comes running past the turtle tank and stops when she sees Hazel and Sawyer playing around with the dolphins at the tank. Hazel spots her, and can tell something is wrong. "What's wrong?" Hazel yells, seeing Phoebe at the other side of the dolphin tank. "There's a beached dolphin. And-"before Phoebe could finish her sentence by Hazel and Sawyer which say at the same time, "Can we come?" Phoebe nods, and Hazel and Sawyer run as quickly as they can.

Sawyer The truck always is bumpy going somewhere, but Sawyer didn't mind. All he could he could keep his mind on, was the beached dolphin. Was it a male, or female? All the questions he didn't know, made him want to know more. The truck came to a halt, and then Sawyer could hear Hazel's Father yelling, "Hurry!" The truck's back door opens, and Phoebe heads out first, with all the volunteers following her, including Sawyer. Sawyer spots the beached dolphin, shrieking of fear, and a tiny crowd had formed along the shore, probably wondering what is happening. Hazel carries the stretcher alongside her father, and smiles at Sawyer. Sawyer returned the smile. Phoebe was calming down the beached dolphin, and told everyone it was a male dolphin, a little older than Winter, actually. Sawyer did notice a sunburn and some cuts that are bleeding, but they don't look bad. Phoebe and Clay were the only ones waist deep in water, and Sawyer had realized why. The sand was kind of like mud, it sort of sunk you into the water. Some of the volunteers had a hard time pushing the dolphin calmly onto the stretcher, but Hazel filmed it all. Sawyer had helped carry the 800 pound dolphin, and for sure, it wasn't easy. Hazel went waist deep into the water trying to get to her father, and almost drops the camera. It's almost a dangerous beach, he thought. Hazel almost screams from almost dropping the camera, but Sawyer catches the camera. "Thanks, Sawyer." Hazel awkwardly tells Sawyer. Sawyer smiles and says, "It's okay." Sawyer continues to help carry the dolphin, all the way to the truck. Hazel's father helped Phoebe and Hazel to get out of the "sinking sand", and follows everyone into the truck. Sawyer climbs into the back of the truck, and sits next down to the dolphin. Kat helps pet the dolphin, calming it down more. More and more dolphins.

Everyone that helped the beached dolphin, also helped moving the (identified) male dolphin into the gated area from Winter and Hope's tank. Winter and Hope were playing around, trying to push each other off their new mats, even if Hazel and Sawyer had brought two. Winter had suspected there was something going on at the gated area of their tank, and Hope shrieked. Winter goes to the edge of the gate, and swims around it. Phoebe talks to Winter and says, "Winter, not now." Winter tweets, and swims back to push Hope off the mat since she hogged it anyway. Finally, they had put the male dolphin into the gated area, and Sawyer sat down against the pillar. Hazel, on the other hand, was thinking of a name for the male dolphin, and still alongside her father. "Aiden! I was thinking the aid in Aiden could be related!" Hazel yells, almost making her father deaf. "Okay. Aiden it is." Her father says, and everyone cheers. Sawyer smiles and whispers to himself, "Hazel always thinks of good names for dolphin, doesn't she?" Sawyer hadn't seen Kyle standing next to him, but Kyle smirked. He had always known they had liked each other.

Sawyer had climbed down to the platform of the pool, and Phoebe was alongside him. They were going to introduce Winter and Hope to Aiden. He had spotted sunscreen on Aiden, and some of his cuts were healing. Winter and Hope were at the other platform, there attention to Rebecca and Kat. Phoebe ungated Aiden's area, and called him over to the platform. Hazel's father Clay, and Hazel were watching from above, and Sawyer looked at them both. Maybe Winter and Aiden could get along, I'm just not sure about Hope. Winter had been called to the center of the pool, and Hope next. They were both confused, until Aiden approached them. Winter didn't do anything, but swam alongside Aiden. Hope didn't like Aiden, so she swam back to the platform where Rebecca and Kat were. Sawyer was a little disappointed that Hope didn't like Aiden, but he was just glad she didn't react as bad as she did the first time Hope had met Winter. Winter and Aiden were getting along, at least. Phoebe called Aiden back into the gated tank, and closed the gate. Winter was left alone at the center of the pool, till she was called back by Rebecca and Kat.

Sawyer biked all the way home, and he couldn't stop biking until he accidently crashes a little into the tree near his garage. He opens the door to his home swiftly, and yells at the door to his mom's room, "Back Mom! I don't need any dinner!" Although Sawyer had loved food, he didn't want any right now, he really badly wanted to learn more about male dolphins, but the SEA semester had only taught him a little about the difference between male and female dolphins. He wanted to make sure he could have taken care of Aiden more properly, the next day at CMA, he thought. What stinks is, school starts next week.

Heyyy! I hope that is enough for today! So what do you think of the new beached dolphin? Feel free what you want to add or change and don't forget to review! See you in the next chapter! (Sorry it took so long to post this!)
