Ch. 4: Deb (and Flo) Get's Mailed
Deb the Stripped Damselfish was admiring her reflection in the tank she was swimming in and was, strangely, talking to it.
"It's a great day, isn't it Flo?" Deb asked her reflection. Apparently, she thought that her reflection was her sister, Flo.
Two other Stripped Damselfish swam up near her.
"She's talking to her reflection again." one whispered.
"Let's just not get near her," said the other one as they both swam away, "If we tell her, she probably won't believe us."
As Deb was continuing to talk with 'Flo', a net suddenly appeared and dragged the surprised Deb out of the tank.
"Flo? Flo!" she called out, but was sent into a tank and it suddenly got dark.
"Oh no! I'm in a dark place. I lost my sister. I'm all alone! All alone!"
Deb began wailing dramatically for a few hours or so and after which, light suddenly shined on her.
"Uh!" she recoiled to sheild herself from the brightness, "Who new it took this long to get to fish heaven?"
Suddenly, she was casted up in a fish net and put into another tank of water. She swam around the area and saw the magnificent sights.
"Wow," said Deb, "Fish Heaven looks pretty amazing."
Suddenly, she bumped into some glass and looked and saw her reflection.
"Flo? Flo!"
Deb kept trying to hug her 'sister' and just then, a Pufferfish, a Yellow Tang, and a Moorish Idol came and saw the scene.
"Why is she hugging her reflection?" asked Bloat.
"And why does she name it Flo?" asked Bubbles.
"I don't know," said Gil. "Let's wait until she's done and introduce ourselves to her."
The other fish nodded and looked at Deb in patience before she turned around and saw them.
"Oh, hi." Deb said.
The three fish greeted her simultaneously.
I'm Gil."
"I'm Bloat."
"Bubbles."
"I'm Deb," said Deb before gesturing to 'Flo', "And this is my sister Flo."
The three fish looked at each other is complete puzzlement.
"Don't believe anything she says. She's nuts!"
As Deb resumed her reunion with 'Flo' Bloat said to Gil, 'Should we...?"
"No," Gil said firmly, "It would probably be best if she finds this out on her own."
