Madison held onto Mr. Ray as she was looking around. So much wonder and the beauty of the ocean as the fishes were swimming around. She missed seeing those since she was in Ariel's world. There were a lot especially the music and dance, but in this world, they don't play music or dance. But at least they could sing.

"Oh, let's name the species, the species, the species. Let's name the species that live in the sea." Mr. Ray singed as kept on going with his students. "There's porifera, coelenterata, hydrozoa, scyphozoa, anthozoa, ctenophora, bryozoas, three! Gastropoda, arthropoda, echinoderma, and some fish like you and me. Come on, sing with me."

Madison looked to see where Nemo is as he was close to her. He was amazed by the beauty of the sea to where he was at. He looked down to see the fishes and strange marine creatures that are swimming to different directions. He has never seen anything like it. Madison smiled to see that he was enjoying himself. Even her until suddenly, Ray stopped at a location.

"Okay, the Drop Off. All right, kids, feel free to explore but stay close." Mr. Ray spoke as he let his students and Madison to swim off of him, but then the ray gasped as if he spotted something. "Stromalitic cyanobacteria! Gather."

The students and Madison gathered as they were close to the teacher.

"An entire ecosystem contained in one infinitesimal speck. There are as many protein pairs contained in this…"

"Come on, let's go." Tad's voice whispered as he was speaking to his friends.

Madison was listening to Mr. Ray for a few seconds until she heard Tad whispering. She turned to see Tad, Sheldon, and Pearl were swimming away through the seaweed and saw Nemo following. She started to feel a little panic inside of her and quickly followed them

"Hey guys, wait up!"

She heard Nemo's voice up close and then spotted all four at the edge of the reef. They were staring at the open sea and it's causing her to worry.

"Cool!" Tad spoke as he looked at the view, but as all four got close to the edge to look down, Tad quickly pulled Pearl back. "Save your life!"

Pearl let out a scream as Tad scared her and the ink came out of her, causing the octopus to blush in embarrassment.

"Aww, you guys made me ink!" she said, and her friends laughed.

"There you kids are!" Madison spoke as she swim towards them. "Come along, we better get back to the group before somethings-"

"What's that?" Nemo questioned as he spotted something.

"...happens."

Madison, Nemo and the kids turned to the open water to see far away shadow floating above. To Madison she recognized what that was, the boat.

"I know what that is." Tad spoke as he looked at the boat. "Sandy Plankton saw one. He called; he said it was called a "butt"."

"Wow, that's a pretty big butt." said Pearl as she was in awe.

"Or maybe we should call it a boat. And now I think we should go back and-Sheldon!" Madison exclaimed.

She saw the little seahorse swimming to the open sea but not too far from edge.

"Oh, look at me, I'm gonna go touch the butt!" he said until he sneezed, causing him to go farther.

The children laughed except Madison.

"Sheldon, you come back here right now!" she said but Sheldon wasn't listening as he looked at his friends.

"Oh yeah, let's see you get closer."

"Okay." Pearl spoke as she swims off from the edge and went further than Sheldon. "Beat that."

"Pearl! Sheldon! Come back over here!" Madison spoke with a stern voice until she saw Tad swims farther than Sheldon and Pearl, "Tad, not you too!"

"Come on Miss Madison, nothing bad is happening." said Sheldon.

"Come on Nemo, how far can you go?" Tad asked.

Madison looked at the little clownfish as he was behind her. He was staring at the open sea, but Madison felt concern.

"Nemo, don't do this. Please. Just swim back a little." she said softly to him.

"Maybe you're right Maddie. Besides, my dad says it's not safe."

"Nemo, no!" a voice cried out in panic.

Madison and Nemo both turned to see Marlin as he was hiding behind the seaweed and quickly swam up to the little clownfish.

"Dad?"

"Marlin?" Madison question as the dad quickly dragged Nemo away from the edge.

"You were about to swim into open water!" Marlin spoke with a stern and worrried tone as he looked at his son.

"No, I wasn't go out."

"It was a good thing I was here. If I hadn't showed up, I don't know."

"But Dad no." Nemo tried to explain until his friends swim to him and looked at Marlin.

"Sir, he wasn't gonna go." said Pearl.

"Yeah, he was too afraid." said Tad as it was a lie.

"No, I wasn't!" Nemo replied as he looked at him.

"This does not concern you, kids! And you're lucky I don't tell your parents you were out there!" said Marlin as he looked at the kids.

"Marlin, let me explain. I-" Madison was about to speak until she stopped as Marlin turned to face her.

"And as for you Madison! You were supposed to keep a close eye on him, not let him go out and about!"

"Whoa hey I was! I was trying to get everyone back before something bad happens! Nemo was just in a peer pressure situation!" Madison replied as she felt offended, but Marlin ignored her as he was back to facing Nemo.

"You know you can't swim well!" he said to him.

"I can swim fine, Dad. Okay?" Nemo argued.

"No, it's not okay. You shouldn't be anywhere near here!"

Madison swam in her place. She turned to see Mr. Ray and the class were hiding, watching and listening to this argument. Those poor kids shouldn't be listening to this as she turned back to see Marlin and Nemo still arguing.

"Okay, I was right. You know what? You'll start school in a year or two." said Marlin as he took Nemo's fin and starts to swim away.

"No, dad!" Nemo shouted as he jerks away from his dad's grasp, "Just because you're scared of the ocean-"

"Clearly, you're not ready. And you're not coming back until you are! You think you can do these things, but you just can't Nemo!"

The little clownfish angrily looked down and not facing his dad as he said those three words.

"...I hate you."

Marlin was shocked and visibly hurt of what his son said. Madison couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Marlin. She reached out wanting to say something, but didn't know what the words were to say until she heard Mr. Ray sang out.

"There's nothing to see. Gather uh, over there." said Mr. Ray as he gathered his students to one side and swam to Marlin. "Excuse me, is there anything I can do? I am a scientist, sir. Is there any problem?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt things. He isn't a good swimmer, and I just think it's a little too soon for him to be out here unsupervised."

"Well, I can assure you, he's quite safe with me." said Mr. Ray.

As Marlin and Mr. Ray spoke, Nemo frowned at his father, he turned to see where the 'butt' was before turning back. Madison watched the two and then looked to see where Nemo was, but to her surprise, he was gone. Madison looked around to find him, but as she looked up at the open sea, she couldn't believe what she saw as she swam close to Marlin.

"Look I'm sure he is-"

"Uh Marlin..." Madison tried to speak.

"Not now." the clownfish interrupt her and continued talking to Mr. Ray. "You have a large class, and he can get lost from sight if you're not looking. I'm not saying you're not looking."

"But Marlin..."

"Oh my gosh! Nemo's swimming out to sea!" a fish name Kathy cried out.

Madison, Mr. Ray, and the fishes looked up to see that Nemo was swimming out the open sea. He was very far from the edge and caused Marlin to panic.

"Nemo! What do you think you're doing?" Marlin shouted.

"I'll go get him." said Madison.

She began to swim out as she hears Marlin continues to yell.

"You're gonna get stuck out there or Madison or I will have to get you before another fish does!"

"Nemo, wait!" Madison hollered for him as she looked to see Nemo stopped as he was looking at the chain and then swimming up towards the boat.

"Get back here! I said get back here, now! Stop!" Marlin yelled.

Nemo stopped as he turned around to see his dad upset. He was still frowning and glared at him until Madison got to him.

"Okay Nemo, you've proved your point!" she spoke as she was worried, "You swam out far enough, we have to go back now!"

"You take one more move mister…" said Marlin until both he and Madison saw Nemo raised his fin up, getting ready to touch the boat.

"Nemo, no!" Madison spoke in a soft tone and then looked back at Marlin.

"Don't you dare! If you put one fin on that boat! Are you listening to me? Don't touch the boat-"

And with one tap of his fin, Nemo touched the boat.

"Nemo!" Marlin yelled in disbelief.

"He touched the 'butt'!" Tad whispered to his friends as he was amazed.

Madison sighs and looked at him. "Come on, Nemo." she said to him and the two slowly swim back to the edge.

"You just paddle your little tail back here, Nemo! That's right! You are in big trouble, young man! Do you hear me? Big..."

Just as Nemo and Madison swam back, they didn't know that a diver appeared behind the two. Seeing the diver, Marlin began to be in fright.

"Big..."

Pearl screamed at the sight and many other fish screamed. Nemo making the mistake turning to see the diver and screamed.

"Nemo!" Madison exclaimed.

"Daddy, help me!" Nemo cried out as he looked scare and tried to swim away, but the diver's hands were getting closer to him.

"I'm coming Nemo!"

Before Marlin could swim out and save his son, another diver appeared, blocking Marlin in his path. Seeing how huge the diver was Marlin began to back away in fright.

"Get under me kids!" Mr. Ray quickly gathered the kids and swam away to hide from the divers.

"Get back! Get back you!" Madison growled as she swatted her tail at the diver's hands.

Madison tried to protected Nemo with all her might but being so small the diver thought she was a rare fish. The diver moved his hand, swatting Madison away.

"Maddie!" Nemo shouted and tried to swim to her but the diver brought out a net. "Oh, no, no! Dad!"

Nemo was soon caught in the net and began to be taking away

"Daddy!" Nemo cried out to him.

Marlin stared at the other diver as he swam back. The human brought out an underwater camera and took a picture of him. With one big flash, it was too bright for the clownfish that caused to lose his focus on seeing things. Madison shook her head after being swatted and looked to see that the other diver was swimming away and Marlin having trouble swimming.

"Nemo! Nemo! Nemo, no!" Marlin shouted as he got his focus back and began to swim out. "Nemo! Nemo, Nemo! No!"

"Marlin! No stop" Madison shouted as she swam up to him.

Madison and Marlin got to the boat, but the divers have already got out of the water and onto the boat.

"No!"

"Marlin, watch out for the-"

Both screamed as they were pushed back by the force propeller of the motor. There were so many bubbles, but they already clear out. The two looked to see the boat was moving.

"Come on!" Madison shouted as she starts swimming and Marlin followed.

"Nemo! Nemo!" they shouted.

On the boat, one of the divers placed Nemo in a cooler of water. And when they hit a wave on the boat make the diver jerk back a bit.

"Hold on!" the other diver spoke to him.

The diver held onto the boat, but not realizing he dropped his mask in the ocean.

Back with Madison and Marlin, both were swimming as fast as they could both panting along the way. Following the trail of bubbles. But all of a sudden, the tail starting to fade and they're losing the boat.

"Oh no. No, it's gone! No, no it can't be gone! No! No! Nemo!" Marlin panicked and went up to the surface to call to his son as Madison looked around area and calls out as well.

"Nemo! Nemo? Nemo! No!"

"Nemo!" Madison hollered.

The clownfish goes back under the sea to take a breath and goes back to look up at the surface.

"Nemo! Nemo! No! No, please, no!"

"We need to keep finding him, Marlin." said Madison.

Both swam back under the sea and looked to see fishes as they were swimming by.

"Has anybody seen a boat? Please! A white boat!" Marlin shouted for help as he looked at the fishes.

"Please help us, a little fish has been kidnapped- I mean fishnapped!" said Madison.

"They took my son!" Marlin cried out until a large fish pushed him out of the way. "My son! Help me, please!"

"Please someone! Anyone!"

"Look out!" a voice cried out.

The looked up to see a blue tang swimming towards them. They both exclaimed and screamed until they crashed. Marlin fell onto the ocean sand and Madison rubbed her head as the Blue Tang doing the same.

"Oh, oh sorry! I didn't see you. Sir, Mam are you two, okay?" the Blue Tang asked in concern.

"I'm alright." Madison answered as she kept rubbing her head.

"No, he's gone." Marlin muttered as he was about to cry.

"There, there, it's alright. It'll be okay." the Blue Tang spoke as he was trying to comfort him.

"No, no, they took him away! I have to find the boat!" Marlin was already up and quickly starting swimming until the blue fish spoke.

"A boat? Hey, I've seen a boat!"

"Really?" Madison asked.

"You have?" Marlin questioned.

"It passed by not too long ago."

"A white one?" Marlin asked.

"Where did it go?" Madison asked.

The Blue Tanged smiled as she wasn't paying attention to the questions.

"Hi. I'm Dory." she raised her fin as she was waiting for a fin shake.

"The Boat!" Madison spoke.

"Where?! Which way?!" Marlin shout with the questions which the fish snapped back to what they were talking about.

"It went, this way! And it went this way! Follow me!" Dory answered as she pointed and quickly swam to the direction.

"Thank you! Thank you, so much!" Marlin smiled as he and Madison followed her.

"No problem." Dory replied as the three all swam to the direction.
