When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Chapter 9: Carrying Out A Huge Scam
Back at Oscar's penthouse, everybody has already left, and Ernie and Bernie are now playing a Sharkslayer video game together on the TV, and both of them are taking turns playing as Oscar to fight off great white sharks by using the controllers of the video game console. It was Ernie's turn, but he wasn't that very good at pressing the control buttons, and Oscar ended up getting eaten by a great white shark who sadistically laughed, and Ernie got the game over, much to his disappointment as well as Bernie's disappointment.
"Oh, mon. I told you." said Bernie.
"I'm doing it." said Ernie.
"X, circle, X X, double left square, right trigger, down, square, square." said Bernie.
"Double square. Respect." said Ernie.
"Respect," said Bernie.
While the two jellyfish were taking turns playing as Oscar to fight off great white sharks in the video game and Ernie was trying to do the best he can to press the control buttons, Sykes was now having a conversation with Don Lino on his ShellPhone.
"What exactly do you mean you now work for him, huh?" asked Don Lino on the other line.
"Well, maybe I didn't make myself clear," said Sykes. "Since my services were no longer needed at your great white shark mafia and you fired me, the Sharkslayer made me his manager. So I'm now, what I like to call, untouchable. Anyway, nothing personal, fish-eat-fish world, it's a matter of life or death, blah-blah-blah-blah…long story short, you know the whole thing, you're out, Lino."
Don Lino suddenly becomes shocked. "Did you just tell me I'm out? Nobody tells me that I'm out!"
Sykes smirked. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I just did tell you that. So, I'm gonna say it again. You're out, Lino! And you're fired!"
"Oh yeah? Well, I got a message for the Sharkslayer, and told him I sent him my message since you're now working for him." said Don Lino just as he gritted his razor-sharp teeth. "You tell him that the members of my mafia are gonna pay him a little visit for taking out one of my own kids. And we're gonna see who's in…and WHO'S OUT!"
"Alright, Lino. I will tell him." said Sykes just as he kept smirking. "And I'm not intimidated by you at all." He then chuckled.
Suddenly, Oscar enters the living room of the penthouse looking very terrified. "SYKES!" Osar suddenly saw himself getting eaten by another great white shark in the video game, much to his shock. "Oh!" He then swam up to Sykes. "Hey, Sykes!"
"Hey, hey, hey." Sykes greeted. "There he is. My brother, my player, the Sharkslayer."
"Hey, Sykes." Oscar greeted. "Look, listen."
"Oh, and another thing, you're gonna have to start paying me protection money," said Sykes. "So the Sharkslayer wouldn't have to harm you and the members of your mafia."
"Sykes, look, listen, I just decided to call off the deal," said Oscar. "I just discovered that the shark I killed was Don Edward Lino's son!"
"I already know." replied Sykes. "Isn't that great news?"
"It won't be so great if he finds out about it!" said Oscar while he looked very terrified.
"What do you mean by that? I'm having a conversation with him on the phone right now." said Sykes.
Oscar became filled with complete shock. "WHAT?! WHY?!"
"Why? 'Cause we got him right where we want him, that's why!" explained Sykes. "He's now raging as we speak! You should really hear how angry he is right now! Oh, and by the way, Lino's gonna send some members of his mafia to take you out." He continued his conversation with Don Lino on his phone. "That's right, Lino. I got the Sharkslayer right here in front of me." Oscar motions him to stop having his conversation with Don Lino on his ShellPhone, but he gives him a thumbs up. "And he's gonna slay you and all the members of your mafia."
"Sykes! Shut up!" snapped Oscar. "SHUT...UP!"
"Hey, hey, hey! That's good! That's good, I like that! That's a great idea to keep Lino where we want him, kid!" said Sykes while he thought Oscar was telling Don Lino to shut up. "Shut up, Lino! Ha! SHUT UP!" Oscar groaned in annoyance just as he did a facepalm. "What? Oh, kid, he said he would like to talk to you."
"No! I'm not here!" said Oscar.
"Yeah, he's right here," said Sykes. He gives Oscar his phone. "Here you go, Oscar."
Oscar takes the phone from Sykes and answers to Don Lino on the ShellPhone gently. "Hello?"
""Shut up"?" "Shut up"?!" snapped Don Lino on the other line. "You don't tell ME "shut up", I tell YOU "shut up"!" Don Lino suddenly hears beeping on the other life. "Huh? Hello?"
"Hi. How ya doin?" Luca greeted on the other line. "Yvette and would like to have three large pizzas with everything on them. Pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, mushrooms, olives, peppers, onions…"
"LUCA!" exclaimed Don Lino.
"Oh! Hey, boss!" Luca greeted. "What are you doing working at Pizza Halibut?"
"GET OFF THE PHONE!" snapped Don Lino.
"But Yvette and I are so hungry!" whined Luca.
"What the heck are you doing, Luca?!" asked Yvette. "Gimme that! That's the wrong phone number!" Yvette snatches the telephone from Luca and pushes him away. She then answers Don Lino on the phone. "Boss, I'm so sorry about that. Luca was just being an idiot like he usually is." Yvette then hangs up.
Don Lino sighed in annoyance and continued where he left off. "My guys are coming for ya, Sharkslayer! They're gonna tear you FIN FROM FIN!" He then slams the phone down.
Oscar lets go of Sykes' phone and allows it to float in the water, and sits down on the couch in complete fear while knowing that he's going to be a dead fish since Don Lino is sending some members of his great white shark mafia to take him down. Also, Sykes was still completely unaware of Oscar being completely terrified, and he was filled with joy and excitement just as he got his phone back.
"C'mon, now who's your puff daddy, huh? Who takes good care of you? Huh? Huh?" asked Sykes. He then turns to Ernie and Bernie who are still playing the video game. "C'mon, you two. We've got work to do." He turns off the TV with the remote.
"Aww! I was winning!" said Ernie.
Sykes went to the elevator along with Ernie and Bernie, and Oscar swam right after them just as he still unsuccessfully tried to get Sykes' attention.
"Sykes, please listen to me! Look, you've got it all wrong!" said Oscar.
"Many people are gonna write songs about you, kid." said Sykes.
Then, Sykes began singing a song about Oscar being the Sharkslayer while Ernie and Bernie began singing along with him while Oscar kept trying to get Sykes' attention and was very unsuccessful doing so. The elevator closes in Oscar's face, causing Oscar to become even more terrified than before.
"Sykes! Sykes, man!" exclaimed Oscar. He began pressing the elevator button really fast. "C'mon! Open up already!"
"Maybe I can help," said Lola.
Oscar turned himself around and saw the seductive Lola who was sitting on another couch that is right behind some string decorations, much to his surprise. "Oh! Hey, Lola! What are you doing here? You just keep mysteriously appearing all of a sudden."
"Well, you told me to wait so…" said Lola. She clapped her fins which caused the lights in the penthouse to go off. "So, I've been waiting." Lola began swimming towards Oscar and went through the string decorations.
Oscar suddenly became very nervous just as the elevator opened. "Wait a minute. What is all of this? Why did you…Look. I don't have a lot of time for you to clap your fins to make the lights go off right now." The elevator closes, but Oscar quickly stops it from closing.
"What are you afraid of? I don't bite that much." said Lola just as she kept approaching Oscar.
"Afraid?" asked Oscar just as he laughed. "That's funny. I'm not afraid of anything, and it's that I need to…" He is suddenly interrupted when Lola begins massaging his shoulders and begins relaxing himself just as the elevator closes.
"Oh, baby, you are so tense," said Lola.
"Yeah, I've been very stressed out lately." said Oscar. "You know, doing my job keeps Southside Reef safe from the sharks and I'm able to do all that by myself, you know. It's just crazy."
"It's too much, and it's piling up." replied Lola.
"Yeah, you know, one thing on top of the other, all of that hard work is making me…you know…very exhausted." said Oscar.
"Let Lola help you out with your problem." said Lola. "You know what I do? I keep going. I keep working harder and harder until I raise the stakes."
"Raise the stakes?" asked Oscar. Lola nodded her head yes. "Well, what you just told me is a good idea, but I was thinking about retiring."
Upon hearing that Oscar is planning to retire as the Sharkslayer, Lola knows that if he does, then he will lose all of his money and fame, and she was planning on becoming rich and famous alongside him. In order to convince Oscar not to retire, Lola proceeds to seduce Oscar just as she roughly slammed him against the giant lava lamp and passionately rubs her fin on his cheek.
"You don't wanna do that," said Lola.
"I don't?" asked Oscar.
"You have worked so hard to live here at the top of the reef," said Lola seductively. "You don't don't wanna go back to living at the bottom of the reef. Do you?"
Oscar ends up getting manipulated by Lola just as he is being blinded by her beauty and charms to notice it. "No. No. No way. Not at all."
"Then you just show them who's boss, and those sharks will leave you alone." said Lola seductively just as she uses her soothing voice to make Oscar listen to her and do as she says.
"Yeah, you're absolutely right, Lola. Thanks for the advice." said Oscar. "I'll see ya later. Lenny. Teresa."
Oscar then leaves the penthouse while Lola smirks at him just as she was very delighted that Oscar has decided not to retire after she has managed to seduce him into changing his mind and her plan to use him will become successful.
Meanwhile, Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina are heading to the Whale Wash together to check on some Cleantastic Kelp Soap and Seabreeze Soap that was delivered there earlier since the fish employees have been running out of it lately and needed some more. Soon, they arrive there, and they quickly notice the six boxes of the soap, much to their delight. Each of them carried three of the six boxes and worked together to put them inside the storage warehouse.
Inside the storage warehouse, Lenny and Teresa are waiting for Oscar to return. Just as they are, Teresa still feels very concerned about Oscar's lie. Suddenly, Oscar's three best friends enter the storage warehouse, and they begin putting the soap on one of the shelves, and the two siblings become surprised on their arrival. They are unaware of their presence until Lenny accidentally sneezes which makes them quickly notice them, and upon seeing them in the storage room, they become filled with complete fear.
Upon seeing them become frightened by them since they are great white sharks, the two siblings manage to calm them down and convince them that they're not going to eat them since they are one of those sharks who wouldn't do anything to kill and eat anybody, and that there are most sharks in the ocean who are friendly just like they are. Oscar's three best friends stared at the two siblings in complete surprise for a moment, and then they stopped feeling very terrified and began smiling at them upon learning what they explained to them. They shook fins with them and kindly introduced each other. Soon, Oscar's three best friends begin to wonder how they ended up at the storage warehouse in the first place.
One hour passes by, and the two siblings have already explained everything to Oscar's three best friends, and they both nodded their heads yes and confirmed what they just explained to them is very true. Oscar's three best friends' expressions soon become very heartbroken and disappointed upon learning that Oscar has lied to everybody about being the Sharkslayer, especially them. The two siblings both quickly became very concerned about them while Teresa already knew that Oscar's lie would end up causing nothing but trouble.
Later on that night, Oscar arrives at a Fish King where he quickly decides to get some food and beverages for Lenny and Teresa to eat and drink. Inside, he orders seven double whoppers, seven fries, seven nuggets, seven Coral-Colas, and seven Spouts. The cashier gets what he has ordered in three Fish King bags, and he makes all of it free since he's the Sharkslayer, much to his delight. Oscar then leaves the restaurant with the three bags.
Soon, he has arrived back at the storage warehouse, and he is now preparing to give the two siblings the three bags so they wouldn't have to worry about getting hungry and thirsty. Also, he has a plan to deal with the members of the mafia so he could show them who's boss. He then slowly opened the front door of the Whale Wash storage warehouse, and he went inside and began searching for the two siblings. He began wondering where they could be in the storage warehouse right after he had left.
"Lenny? Teresa?" whispered Oscar. "Where are you two? I bought you guys something to eat and drink from Fish King." Suddenly, he notices Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina appear at the storage warehouse front door, causing him to scream in complete fear.
"Hello, Oscar!" Angie greeted.
"Angie! Nelson! Sabrina! Hey!" Oscar greeted nervously. "What…What…What are you doing here?"
"What, Oscar, did you forget something? Hmm?" asked Sabrina.
"Well…Well…Um…Uh…I…I…Well…Well…" said Oscar just as he stammered nervously and looked around.
"It looks like you did forget something." said Nelson.
"Well, maybe you forgot…" said Angie. She angrily slammed the front door shut, and hiding right behind the front door was Lenny who was drinking a Spout and Teresa who was drinking a Coca-Cola. "Your two sharks!"
"Hi." Lenny greeted.
"Uh...SHARKS!" exclaimed Oscar. He then quickly put the three big Fish King bags on a nearby crate, and he quickly grabbed Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina's fins and began pushing them all to the front door. "SWIM, GUYS! I'LL COVER YA'LL! QUICK! BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" He opens the front door and attempts to push Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina out of the Whale Wash storage warehouse. "GO ON WITHOUT ME!"
"Oh, stop it!" said Angie just as she slammed the front door again, went past Oscar along with Nelson and Sabrina, and turned on the lights in the Whale Wash storage warehouse. "Your two pet sharks here have already told us everything!"
"Dang, Lenny and Teresa!" said Oscar. "Why did you two do that?!"
Lenny shrugged. "I honestly don't know. We began liking them when we first met them."
"Thank you very much, you two. We began liking you guys too when we first met too." said Angie just as she smiled. However, Nelson, and Sabrina's smiles didn't last very long while they were very angry with Oscar. "WHAT were you thinking bringing them in here anyway?!"
"I…I…I don't know." said Oscar just as he stammered. "I just…I just…I just…I'm still working out on the kinks, you know."
""Kinks"?!" YOU LIED!" exclaimed Angie just as Lenny and Teresa both went back to their beds and continued drinking their beverages. "EVERYBODY IN THE REEF THINKS YOU HAVE ACTUALLY "SLAYED THE SHARK"!"
"YOU SAID THAT YOU'RE A HERO WHO SLAYS SHARKS, BUT IT'S NOT TRUE AT ALL!" exclaimed Sabrina. "ARE YOU SERIOUS?!"
"And who am I to tell them that they're wrong about all of this?" asked Oscar.
"YOU'VE MADE UP AN ENTIRE STORY THAT YOU ACTUALLY KILLED A SHARK!" exclaimed Nelson. "HOW COULD YOU DO IT?!"
"HOW COULD YOU LIE TO US, OSCAR?! US?!" exclaimed Angie.
"Ang, Nel, Brina, please! Don't take it personally!" said Oscar. "C'mon, I lied to everybody besides you guys, and it isn't a big deal at all!"
Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina stare at Oscar just as they are very disappointed that not only he lied to them about being a Sharkslayer, but he has lied to everybody. Also, it caused a rift in their longtime friendship with him.
"Alright, it is a big deal. Look, I'm so sorry." said Oscar. "I totally betrayed you guys. But listen, I just got one little problem I gotta take care of."
"Oh, really? What's that?" asked Angie.
"SHARKS! ARE COMING! TO GET ME!" exclaimed Oscar while he looked very terrified.
"And they should!" said Angie. "I mean, what would you expect anyway? You just take credit for killing a shark which you never actually did and then everything will be fine and dandy for the rest of your life?"
"Uh...yeah." answered Oscar. "But don't worry about it. Lenny, Teresa, and I got this, and we're gonna fix this."
"Hey, wait a minute, what's with the "we"?" asked Lenny. "My sister and I honestly don't want any part of this."
"It's too late now. They're looking for you guys too." said Oscar.
"Well, point taken. So, what's the plan?" asked Lenny.
"Actually, you can count me out," said Teresa.
"Well, then I'm okay with it." said Oscar. "Alright, Lenny, here's what we're gonna do…" Angie suddenly interrupts him.
"Oscar! Here's the plan!" said Angie. "You get out there and tell the truth." She then turned to Lenny. "And you, Lenny, go home with your sister." Nelson and Sabrina nodded their heads in agreement.
"Well, like I've been saying from before, lying would end up causing more harm than good." said Teresa. "I strongly agree with Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina, and they have a point."
"Well, at least Teresa agrees with our plan," said Nelson.
"So, what do you say?" asked Sabrina.
Upon hearing Angie, Nelson, Sabrina, and Teresa's suggestions that Oscar should just tell the truth and Lenny should just go home along with Teresa, Oscar and Lenny became filled with surprise and they begin thinking it over just as they stared at each other for a moment, and then they quickly laughed at their suggestions and doesn't agree on them at all just as they continue with Oscar's plan.
"Alright, Lenny, Here's what we're gonna do." said Oscar. He swims up to a nearby bucket of red paint that is on another crate and picks up a paintbrush. "We're gonna paint you up all bloody. Then, you're gonna swim out pretending and meet the sharks before they get here. And you're gonna stay "STOP! DON'T GO ANY FURTHER!" He threw the paintbrush and got on Lenny's chest. "THE SHARKSLAYER'S CRAZY, MAN! HE BEAT ME SENSELESS! HE'S A STONE-COLD KILLER, man!"
Soon, Oscar began to like his plan more and more by the minute just as he got off of Lenny's chest, and Lenny got up from his bed and swam to a window just as he began thinking of something for Oscar's plan. Also, Angie, Nelson, Sabrina, and Teresa were very unimpressed by his plan just as they were very annoyed just as Teresa was very still concerned about how his lie would end up causing more harm than good.
"Oh, you also can tell them I'm huge and that I'm handsome." said Oscar. "You know, you can throw those in. Oh, and you can tell them I'm buff."
Angie glared at Oscar. "Oh, you are going way too far, Oscar."
Teresa sighed. "This is just gonna end up in a…" She suddenly got interrupted by Lenny.
"Actually, you guys, Oscar hasn't gone far enough." replied Lenny just as he stared out of the window.
"Exactly!" said Oscar. He quickly realized what Lenny just said. "Wait a minute. What?"
"Yeah, Lenny, what are you talking about?" asked Teresa.
"Oscar needs to slay a shark and I need to disappear." explained Lenny. "I'm fully willing to be part of his plan so I can make that kind of thing happen."
"But Lenny, I don't think you should." said Teresa in shock. "And I also don't think it's such a…" She attempts to explain, but Lenny interrupts her.
"Alright, Oscar, here's what we're gonna do tomorrow," said Lenny.
Oscar begins listening to what he and Lenny are gonna do during their plan just as he became filled with excitement, and Teresa was still concerned about how much harm Oscar's lie would cause just as she gulped nervously and couldn't believe Lenny would take part of his plan.
The next day, Katie Current is making a report at one of the neighborhoods on the Sea 9 news broadcast, and she looked very terrified,
"This is Katie Current." Katie Current announced to the viewers. "Today, we've received unconfirmed reports from Thomas and Rachael about a…"
Katie Current suddenly gets interrupted by a large crowd of panicking citizens of the reef who swam right past her, causing her trip over the fish cameraman just as she struggled to stay afloat. They were swimming throughout the streets trying to escape, and right behind them, it was Lenny who was pretending to terrorize everybody which is part of Oscar's plan from yesterday. While he did so, he hummed the theme of Jaws, but it was very off-key, and they quickly swam inside of their homes. Also, he chases some of them throughout the streets as well, and he continues humming the Jaws theme until he gets finished. Suddenly, Katie Current suddenly looked up, and her terrified expression soon became filled with excitement
"Look, everybody, it's the Sharkslayer!" Katie Current announced.
On one of the buildings, Oscar stood on top of it bravely and heroically while he was wearing a long, flowing cape and had his back turned. He then turned himself around and acted bravely and heroically. Suddenly, the cape he was wearing stopped flowing and covered him. He gets the cape off of him and throws it away while he laughs sheepishly.
Then, Oscar jumps off of the building and begins swimming towards Lenny just as he holds out his fist. Lenny suddenly noticed Oscar swimming right towards him just as he began growling. Suddenly, Oscar punched Lenny in the eye, causing him to be sent crashing into a nearby billboard that says Jaws while Oscar swam up to the billboard that had just been crashed, and Katie Current looked very impressed by what just happened.
"Holy mackerel!" said Katie Current. "Did we get that on the camera?"
At the Whale Wash, Angie and Sabrina were at the receptionist office doing some paperwork together, and Nelson swam by the receptionist office while he was carrying a box of dental floss that has been already delivered since he and his co-workers has already ran out of dental floss in the dental section and needed more. While they did their hard work, Pontrelli, who was right at the counter of the receptionist office, is watching Oscar on the TV that is located in the receptionist office, and he quickly gets their attention.
"Hey, Ang, Nel, and Brina! Look, Oscar's on the TV!" said Pontrelli.
Oscar's three best friends quickly saw him on the TV just as Angie and Sabrina turned themselves around and Nelson arrived at the receptionist office and put the box of dental floss on the counter, and they noticed Oscar showing off on TV and acting very selfish just as his lie was going into his head, and they became very annoyed while they are very disappointed in him. Soon, many employees gather at the receptionist office to see Oscar on TV just as they were all filled with excitement.
At the storage warehouse, Teresa is using an old TV show found from one of the boxes to watch Oscar carrying out his plan along with Lenny, and she had the old TV on a crate and she was sitting on another crate as well. She was very unimpressed by the whole thing since Oscar was only just pretending to be the Sharkslayer, and she knows that it would end up having serious consequences and she still couldn't believe that Lenny was willing to take part of Oscar's plan while she is still very concerned about Oscar's lie.
Back at one of the neighborhoods, Lenny was hiding right behind one of the buildings and held his eye in pain right after Oscar punched it. Oscar swims right up to him while Katie Current is watching them from a distance and doesn't know what's going on between them.
"Do you hear the crowd, Lenny?" asked Oscar. "They are going crazy over all of this, man!"
"Ow! My eye hurts! It hurts so bad!" exclaimed Lenny in pain. "Oscar! You got me right in the eye! Did it become red?"
Oscar swam up to Lenny's eye that he had punched him in, and looked at it for a moment. Then, he quickly noticed Lenny's eye is alright while Katie Current kept watching them from the distance while she still doesn't know what's going on between them since she's in the distance.
"From our vantage point, it seems the Sharkslayer is using some hypnosis on that great white." Katie Current announced.
"No, man. It's alright." replied Oscar.
"Oh, thank goodness." said Lenny just as he rubbed his eye in pain.
"As I was saying, everybody is cheering for us. They love us very much!" said Oscar.
"Well, they love you very much since you're the hero, but they hate me since I'm the villain." replied Lenny. "Can we switch sides? I can be the good guy while you can be the bad guy. I can be the Fishslayer. They'll never see it coming."
"Come on, man." said Oscar. "Look, if you continue to pull this off with me, you'll never have to go home again. You could start a new life here in the reef along with your sister. Now gimme a growl."
"Okay." said Lenny. He purrs for a moment, and then he clears his throat and roars loudly in Oscar's face while everybody else from their own homes notices him. "How was that?"
"That was... pretty good!" said Oscar. "C'mon, let's go!"
Oscar swam away from Lenny really fast, and Lenny roared and began chasing him throughout the street while Katie Current continued watching the whole thing from a distance. While they did so, they both unknowingly passed Katie Current who suddenly looked very surprised.
Back at the Whale Wash, while everybody kept watching the pretend fight of Oscar and Lenny on TV at the receptionist office, Oscar's three best friends didn't watch the pretend fight since they know that Oscar is carrying out a huge scam, and Sykes was having a conversation with somebody on his ShellPhone and promoting Oscar as the Sharkslayer.
"Is that all you're offering? You really want him to appear on your talk show for that?" asked Sykes. "Do you understand how huge my client is? Turn on your TV right now!"
Back at one of the neighborhoods, Oscar kept swimming away from Lenny, and Lenny kept roaring and chasing Oscar throughout the street. Soon, Lenny got closer to Oscar and began snapping his jaws at him. Suddenly, Lenny catches Oscar in his mouth without even noticing what he has done. Back at the Whale Wash, everybody became filled with complete shock that Lenny has got Oscar in his mouth, and Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina became filled with complete shock as well.
"Turn off your TV! Turn off your TV! You don't need to see this at all!" exclaimed Sykes on his phone.
Back at the Whale Wash storage warehouse, Teresa kept watching the pretend fight of Oscar and Lenny on the old TV, and she suddenly became filled with complete shock when she saw Lenny got Oscar in his mouth just as she covered her mouth.
Back at one of the neighborhoods, Lenny began looking for Oscar all over the place just as he arrived at Pelagic Square. He also didn't even notice a large crowd of citizens quietly following him and were watching him, but when he turned himself around, they hid themselves. Suddenly, Lenny heard Oscar's voice inside his mouth, causing him to stop looking for him around Pelagic Square and quickly realize where he was actually at.
"Whatever you do, don't swallow." said Oscar from inside Lenny's mouth.
"Oscar? Is that you?" asked Lenny.
"OF COURSE IT'S ME! Why did you do that?!" asked Oscar.
"I'm sorry." apologized Lenny.
"No, no, no! You say "sorry" when you accidentally pour some popcorn all over somebody at a movie theater!" said Oscar. "You say "sorry" when you say, "Hey, when's the new baby coming?" Then it just turns out the person's just pregnant with the baby! This is as far away from sorry as you can possibly get, Lenny!"
"Oscar? I think I'm gonna puke since meat makes me sick and...and…" said Lenny.
"What? No, no, no, no." said Oscar. "Just open up your mouth, nice and easy."
Lenny slowly opens his mouth. While he does so, Oscar pretends to free himself from his jaws by using his strength. The six Shorties and the large crowd of citizens watched in amazement, and a large camera crew of fish recorded Oscar pretending to free himself from Lenny's jaws. Soon, Oscar managed to free himself while he was only pretending, and the six Shorties and the large crowd of citizens began cheering for him while the camera crew recorded him.
"ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?! YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! YOU HAD ME AT HELLO!" exclaimed Oscar.
Back at the Whale Wash, Oscar's three best friends still looked very unimpressed by the pretend fight on the TV while everybody kept cheering for Oscar and Sykes was still having a conversation with somebody on his phone just as he looked very excited.
"Turn your TV back on!" exclaimed Sykes. "What are you doing turning your TV off? Turn it back on!"
Back at the Whale Wash storage warehouse, Teresa continues to watch the pretend fight on the old TV, and she still looks very unimpressed. Also, Teresa still looked very concerned about Oscar's lie since she is completely aware that his Sharkslayer scam would end up causing problems.
Back at Pelagic Square, Oscar then swims out of Lenny's mouth, and jumps on his dorsal fin and begins riding on it while the three Shorties and the large crowd of citizens keep cheering for Oscar. He then jumped off of it and gave Lenny ten punches in his stomach, gave him eight kicks in his face, gave him six uppercuts, gave him four headbutts, gave him two elbow strikes, and gave him a tackle. Everybody kept cheering for him, and Oscar was really enjoying it so much and the pretend fight between him and Lenny was one of the greatest moments of his life.
Meanwhile, Luca and six members of the great white shark mafia arrive at Southside Reef, and they have been already sent by Don Lino to search for the Sharkslayer and take him down. At the same time, Oscar began rolling Lenny around on his tail-fins just like a barrel which caused Lenny to feel nauseous. Luca and the six mobsters float at the edge of the reef.
"Southside Reef is a huge place, and it's just as huge as any other reef in the Atlantic Ocean!" said Luca. "How are we supposed to find the Sharkslayer?"
In the distance, Lenny was screaming just as he had been thrown by Oscar, and Luca and the six mobsters quickly noticed him which caused them to become greatly surprised. Also, they quickly notice where the Sharkslayer is at. They soon arrive at Pelagic Square where they notice Lenny landing on a nearby bridge, and they also quickly notice Oscar flexing his muscles and showing off. He suddenly noticed them, and Luca looked very surprised upon seeing him if he really did throw Lenny and made him land on the bridge. He quickly realized that it was time for the big finish of his plan, and he swam right towards Lenny on the bridge and he pulled on his tail-fin just as Lenny pretended to be in pain.
"Alright, Lenny, this is it." said Oscar. "It's time for the big finish. Just like we've been practicing on."
"You mean the flying fish?" asked Lenny.
"Yes, the flying fish. Here we go." said Oscar.
Then, Oscar swam underneath Lenny on the bridge and attempted to lift him, but he was unable to do so due to his weight.
"Um, Lenny? A little help here, buddy?" asked Oscar.
"Oh, sorry about that." said Lenny. He moved his tail-fin to help Oscar to lift him up.
Oscar begins spinning him around while Luca and the six mobsters watch the whole thing in complete surprise, and then stops spinning around and lets him go just as he grabbed him on his tail-fin again. He began spinning him around again, and then he let him go again and sent him crashing into the jumbotron. Lenny screamed and then fell right into the dark caverns of the reef just as he faked his death while Oscar watched from one of the big screens in amazement.
"Curse you, Sharkslayer!" exclaimed Lenny.
Soon, Lenny stopped right in the middle of the dark cavers just as he kept screaming until he made a fake crashing noise while he smiled. Back above, Oscar sighed and faced Luca and the six members of the mafia while sparks flew from the jumbotron after he sent Lenny crashing into it.
"Yeah!" said Oscar. "And you tell boss Don Lame-o that I never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever want to see another shark bothering Southside Reef again! EVER!"
Luca and the six members of the mafia then swim away in complete fear and begin heading back to the RMS Titanic while Luca inks himself. Oscar begins to celebrate his victory of managing to win the pretend fight between him and Lenny which is part of his Sharkslayer scam while everybody continues to cheer for him.
"Remember this name, y'all!" said Oscar. "OSCAR THE SHARKSLAYER!"
Back at the Whale Wash, Sykes and everybody else kept cheering for Oscar just as they began dancing while his three best friends weren't very proud of his victory at all.
Sykes joyfully spins Angie around on her wheelchair. "Ha! You guys see that?"
Back at the storage warehouse, Teresa has already witnessed Oscar has managed to defeat Lenny during the pretend fight, and she was glad that she decided not to take part of his plan since nothing good would come from it, and she was also very shocked that Lenny has faked his death so he wouldn't have to return home while she was still concerned about Oscar's lie.
Back at the dark caverns of the reef, while the large crowd kept cheering for Oscar, Lenny smiled just as he was able to succeed in being defeated by Oscar and faking his own death, and he realizes that his work in Oscar's plan is now finished and swims right towards to an entrance of the sewers just as he plans on starting his new life in the reef along with Teresa.
Back above, just as the large crowd and Katie Current kept cheering for Oscar, Lola suddenly appeared and she was very proud of Oscar for managing to defeat Lenny. Also, Lola sees this as a perfect opportunity to show off her relationship status with Oscar to everybody which is part of her plan. Just as Oscar was showing off, she slowly sneaks up on him, and she suddenly grabbed him by his fin just as she spun him around and pinned him under her in order to prevent him from moving away. Oscar suddenly became filled with shock and was about to say something, but he suddenly got interrupted when Lola forcefully kissed him. Even though Oscar was very surprised and shocked at first, he honestly enjoys the forceful kiss Lola suddenly gave him and he doesn't even attempt to move away at all.
Back at the Whale Wash, Sykes's joyful expression suddenly becomes filled with complete shock when he sees Lola forcing Oscar to kiss her on the news. Angie, Nelson, and Sabrina become surprised upon seeing him suddenly become filled with shock, and they quickly notice Lola forcefully kissing Oscar on the news which made them become filled with shock as well.
"Seems the Sharkslayer not only conquered a few sharks today, but maybe a few hearts?" Katie Current announced to the viewers. "Has Southside Reef's most eligible bachelor been snapped up? He has got himself a very beautiful girlfriend, and he and her make a good romantic couple already. I'm Katie Current, here live on Sea 9, watching the Sharkslayer making out."
Upon seeing Lola forcing Oscar to kiss her on the news, Oscar's three best friends became very furious since they are completely aware that she only did that so she could make herself look good since she is only in a relationship with him for his money and fame rather than love. They have been very suspicious about Oscar dating Lola all of a sudden since he has only met her and they quickly realize that they were absolutely right. Also, Angie was very heartbroken and depressed since she has always been in love with him just as she shed a single tear from her eye and quickly wiped it away.
They then leave the receptionist office just as Nelson picks up the box of dental floss from the counter so he could put them at the dental section just like he was planning on doing before he arrived at the receptionist office. Sykes looked very surprised, and then he began to feel very bad for them since he knew that they have always been best friends with Oscar for a very long time. At the dental section, Angie and Sabrina work together to put the dental floss in one of the closets, and while they do so, Angie begins shedding tears just as Nelson and Sabrina felt really bad for her. Right after Lola forced Oscar to kiss her on the news, it caused the rift in their longtime friendship with Oscar to escalate.
Back at the Whale Wash storage warehouse, Teresa has already witnessed Oscar sharing that forceful kiss with Lola, and her expression suddenly became very shocked since she knows it was nothing but a publicity stunt for Lola to show off as the Sharkslayer's girlfriend, and having had enough, she turns off the old TV. She became even more concerned about his lie just as she knows that the stunt he pulled off with Lenny didn't made things better, it only made things worse, and she began to feel very depressed of how much harm his lie caused while she was very disappointed in him as well as Lenny for deciding to go along with it.
