It was a sunny day outside as Alex and Lee walked out of the building their class was in hand-in-hand.
They were also wearing Oxford University school uniforms. Alex wore a white long-sleeve Oxford shirt, dark blue tie, red sweater vest, dark blue blazer, grey shirt, white knee-length socks, and black patent Mary Jane shoes. Lee wore the same outfit as Alex, only he wore grey trousers, short black socks, black Penny Loafers, and a silver wristwatch on his left wrist. They were both wearing Oxford blue backpacks on their backs.
"And so, concludes another great class of our first week at Oxford University," Alex announced.
"Amazing you personally know our archology professor, Ian Flemish," Lee commented.
"Me, Sammy, and Clover helped him once a few years ago," Alex said. "We searched for some magic scarabs his mentor, Professor Elliot, wanted to use for evil."
"Wow," Lee commented in both amazement and disbelief.
Alex soon noticed a bench and asked, "Say, Lee, can we sit down for a moment?"
"Sure," Lee replied.
The two spies walked up to the bench, took off their backpacks, and sat down.
"So, is there something you wanted to tell me?" Lee asked.
Alex smiled, pulled Lee in for a hug and said, "I just wanted to spend a moment of 'us' time."
Lee smiled as he returned the hug.
"Hey, Alexandra," A female voice interrupted.
Alex and Lee broke the hug and saw a woman who looked like Alex, only older and wearing an orange long-sleeve V-neck shirt, tan skirt, and orange boots.
"Mom?" Alex spoke, recognizing the woman.
Alex's Mom, Carmen, smiled, "How are you?"
"I'm doing great!" Alex said happily. "It's great to see you!"
"It's great to see you too," Carmen commented. She soon noticed what Alex was wearing. "It's great to see you in school unform again as well."
"Thanks, Mom," Alex spoke. "And thanks to a special undershirt Jerry designed, I can wear this comfortably. Also, Lee thinks I look cute wearing it."
"And you do look cute wearing it," Carmen agreed. She then looked at Alex's footwear. "Even cuter in Mary Janes."
"Thanks, Mom," Alex said in appreciation.
Carmen soon took notice of the Lee, "Oh my! Where are my manners? You must be my daughter's boyfriend."
"I am," Lee spoke. "I'm Lee."
"It's so nice to finally meet you!" Carmen commented happily.
"It's nice to finally meet you too, Mrs. Casoy," Lee commented.
"Please, call me Carmen," Carmen said.
"So, Mom, what brings you to Oxford?" Alex asked.
Carmen turned to Alex, "Your father got a job teaching Nanotech 101 at the University of Cambridge. Knowing that you, Lee, and your friends were going to be attending Oxford, I decided to stop by and make a surprise visit before I join your father in Cambridge. Your father would've come, but he's busy getting settled into his new workplace, followed by teaching a few classes."
"How did you know where Lee and I would be at this hour?" Alex asked.
"I asked Jerry for your class schedules and locations," Carmen replied. "Amazing, you and Lee have the same classes together."
"It is amazing," Lee spoke up.
"How about we all go have lunch at Winnie's Tavern?" Alex suggested.
"Aren't you two going to have lunch with your friends at the Oxford Dining Hall?" Carmen asked.
"I'll text them to let them know of the change in plans and invite them to join us," Alex replied. "You could use this opportunity to get to know, not only Lee, but his friends as well."
"That sounds like a great idea," Carmen agreed.
Unbeknownst to Alex, Lee, and Carmen, a bald man with grey eyes, top hat and black trench coat was listening nearby while pretending to read his newspaper. What was disturbing about the man was that he had a dolphin fin on his back!
Taking a peek over his newspaper, Charleston, the former headmaster of Dorsal Academy who tried to turn the school's students, including Alex, into human/dolphin hybrids, looked at his former student.
"Well, my dear Alexandra..." Charleston thought. "It seems you have a boyfriend now. No matter, you will once again be swimming with the dolphins while he and his friends will be swimming with the fishes!"
He then looked back down at his newspaper before he quietly gave an evil laugh.
To Be Continued…
A/N: Uh oh. Charleston is back! And once again has Alex in his Dolphinator's crosshair!
I have decided to add dates back to my TS stories. I'll also be adding dates to my TS stories I haven't written dates for at some point.
The title of the story is a reference to the saying: Swimming with the fishes.
