Disclaimer: I don't own the 2004 animated film Shark Tale and all rights goes to DreamWorks Animation SKG. Shark Tale has always been one of my favorite animated films to watch ever since childhood and I still enjoy watching the movie so much, and since I love Shark Tale so much, I decided to do a whole twenty four-part miniseries version of the movie that serves as a whole retelling of the movie which is known as When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie that has brand new scenes, brand new characters, brand new locations, different dialogue. I hope you enjoy the retelling of the movie Shark Tale and if you do, you can review and favor/follow if you want to :)
When A Little Fish Tells A Great White Lie
Episode 7: Family Estrangement
Chapter 4: Life Is So Hard
Soon, right after observing the photos of himself with his family during all of the good times they had together throughout the years and feeding the crumbled up Southside Reef Times newspaper that showed the citizens of the reef cheering for the Sharkslayer becoming the successor to the Shark Hunters as the new hero of the reef from now on to his pet piranhas, Don Lino leaves his office and began heading right towards the main meeting room where the members of the Five Families of the Atlantic Ocean would have meetings together whenever they needed to and the latest meeting of the Five Families is gonna consist of himself, the other crime bosses, and his two henchmen Luca and Yvette and it's gonna be all about trying to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for supposedly killing Frankie from days ago.
Also, just as Don Lino was swimming right towards his office to begin the whole meeting with the other crime bosses of the Five Families and his two minions Luca and Yvette all about the Sharkslayer and how the whole revenge plan against him will be carried out after he supposedly killed Frankie which made him the new hero of Southside Reef after the legendary Shark Hunters from years ago, Mildred is her and Don Lino's bedroom just as she witnessed a photo frame that showed herself along with Don Lino, their three children Frankie, Lenny, and Teresa, and Don Lino's parents Leonardo and Shelly are being together for one of her and Don Lino's wedding anniversaries on her and Don Lino's bed from one of the tables right next to it, and she was very depressed by how much things have been turning out lately, even after Frankie's death and Lenny and Teresa went missing.
"Edward, you've always been the love of my life and I've always been the love of your life, even ever since we first met each other." said Mildred. "We've always had a very loving marriage with each other and we both made three children that we worked together to raise them and show them great love and care, but things hasn't been going so well ever since you began insisting that Lenny should be more like Frankie and that Teresa should encourage Lenny to be like Frankie, and that kind of thing isn't fair at all 'cause Lenny is just himself no matter what. Look, I love you so much and I've always had and you've always loved me too, but you really need to understand that Lenny is his own person and there's nothing wrong with it. I honestly can't believe you would say those things about our own son and daughter during the funeral reception of our oldest son, and…and I wish that things will improve sooner or later."
Mildred continued sitting on her and Don Lino's bed in their own bedroom all by herself and continue observing the photo frame from one of the two tables that is right next to their bed that shows herself along with Don Lino, their three children Frankie, Lenny, and Teresa when they used to be young shark pups, and Don Lino's parents Leonardo and Shelly are spending their time together on one of their wedding anniversaries from years ago, and she couldn't believe that Don Lino still disapproved of Lenny being so different from the other sharks and that Teresa is always taking Lenny's side which she strongly disapproved of since she always supported Lenny's decision to be different as much as Teresa and anybody else would. She suddenly began shedding tears over how things have been turning out lately and wishes that things will be alright just as she began warmly embracing the photo.
Meanwhile, at the meeting room which is usually used for the Five Families that consisted the great white shark mafia, the leopard shark mafia, the hammerhead shark mafia, the killer whale mafia, and the swordfish mafia whenever they need to have some meetings that are very important, Don Lino, Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks as well as Don Lino's two henchmen Luca and Yvette have gathered at the table of the meeting room where they all have the meeting all about planning to get revenge on the Sharkslayer for supposedly killing Frankie in order to avenge him, and Don Lino explains to the others of how the revenge plan against the Sharkslayer is sending his elite assassins to track him down and deal with him somehow, much to the approval of the others while they have ideas of their own to deal with the Sharkslayer and Don Lino still insists of using the assassination plot.
Also, during the whole meeting to take down the Sharkslayer and have Frankie's death avenged, the chefs of the great white shark mafia as well as the servants of the great white shark mafia which are the sawshark butlers and the nurse shark maids suddenly arrive at the meeting room where they serve each of them some tea, some cannoli, some zeppole, and some sfogliatelle by having each of them carried on the metal carts that are usually used for anything important for the Five Families, especially any event that are celebrated by the Five Families which are the traditional Sunday dinners. Don Lino and the others showed their own gratitude towards them for serving them for the meeting while they leave the scene and the whole meeting begins.
"Thank you very much, you guys." said Don Lino.
"Thanks for the tea," said Don Veltroni.
"Thanks for the cannoli," said Don Feinberg.
"Thank you for the zeppole," said Don Salvatore.
"Thank you for the sfogliatelle." said Don Hicks.
"And we've always enjoyed your cooking so much." said Don Lino.
"You're welcome," said a great white shark chef.
"No problem." said a sawshark butler.
"Our problem." said a nurse shark maid.
"You guys can leave us now and we're in the middle of a meeting," said Don Lino.
"Okay." said the great white shark chef.
"Alright." said the sawshark butler.
"Sure thing." said the nurse shark maid.
"So, do you all know why we are all gathered right here in the meeting room, everybody." said Don Lino just as the great white shark chefs, the sawshark butlers, and the nurse shark maids leave the meeting room together. "We're all gathered here this evening to have some kind of plan to have somebody from the Southside Reef to be assassinated by my mafia, and that somebody who will be assassinated is none other than the Sharkslayer."
"Yes, and the Boss has been planning on having the Sharkslayer assassinated after you guys informed him about him," said Luca.
"We both think it's such a good idea for the Boss to have the Sharkslayer assassinated and he just came up with the idea already," said Yvette.
"Edward, speaking of assassination, you must be intending on sending some of the best assassins of your own mafia," said Don Veltroni.
"Well, of course I am, and not only they're the best, they're highly elite and they've always been ever since the Five Families was first founded by one of my ancestors." said Don Lino.
"Just like your two henchmen, Luca and Yvette, we strongly agree that you should do that kind of idea for the whole plan." said Don Feinberg.
"We really support your plan very much, and it can get any job for the crime families finished at any time at all when in need." said Don Salvatore.
"The Sharkslayer will be assassinated by the highly elite assassins of your mafia for sure, and if they need some help for the job, we'll send our own elite assassins as well." said Don Hicks.
"Thank you very much, you guys, and that's what best friends do for each other all the time. They help each other out, even the ones of the Five Families." said Don Lino.
"However, while we all agree on the idea, we had some ideas of our own once you confirmed to us that you're gonna use your assassins against the Sharkslayer." said Don Hicks.
"I insist that we would have the Sharkslayer captured and be severely tortured along with the other citizens of the reef that have been captured and tortured before." said Don Veltroni.
"I suggest that the Sharkslayer would be placed at the pearl mining in the wastelands as enslavement along with the other enslaved citizens," said Don Salvatore.
"I insist that he should be put up for auction so he could be sold for a lot of money just like any citizen has been put captive and put up into auction." said Don Feinberg.
"And I suggest that he should be made the next catch of the day for the traditional Sunday dinner along with the citizens who were made the next catch of the day," said Don Hicks.
"We have so many ideas on how to make the Sharkslayer pay for what he just did, but neither of us can decide on what we can do," said Don Salvatore.
"There has to be any idea that we would choose so we could carry out together and use the idea against the Sharkslayer somehow." said Don Veltroni.
"Those are such good ideas for getting revenge on the Sharkslayer, everybody, but how about we just stick to the assassination plot," said Don Lino.
"Are you sure you really wanna do it? There can be any kind of other idea that we could do together rather than having the Sharkslayer assassinated." said Don Hicks.
"Yes, and besides, I've already made that kind of decision anyway from earlier. So, we're doing the assassination plot and that's final." said Don Lino.
"If that's what you're gonna do, then you can count us in the whole assassination plot as well and you're the one who called it first." said Don Feinberg.
"Thanks, and by the way, we all must be prepared to confront the Sharkslayer once we all manage to find him somehow." said Don Lino. "He's responsible for killing my oldest kid Frankie and he was gonna be the next Don of the the mafia along with his two younger siblings Lenny and Teresa, but all of that suddenly got ruined when the Sharkslayer showed up and managed to kill Frankie by using a grenade when he got into a fight with him in the wastelands. Killing Frankie has made him the new hero of Southside Reef and the successor of the Shark Hunters, and there's no way the Five Families are gonna be intimidated by our brand new enemy just like we weren't intimidated by the Shark Hunters so easily."
"For sure, and if we're gonna track the Sharkslayer down and get revenge on him, then we really need some more information about him." said Don Feinberg.
"Yes, and all we know about him so far is that he's actually capable of killing a shark, even after the Shark Hunters used to be around many years ago," said Don Veltroni.
"None of us learn more about him so far besides what he's capable of, and what else we know about him so far is that he lives in Southside Reef." said Don Salvatore.
"And besides, since all of us must be ready to get more information about him sooner or later, we must be prepared if he will make his next strike," said Don Hicks.
"Don't worry, he won't be able to slay anymore sharks if my elite assassins manage to find him and assassinate him for sure." said Don Lino. "I've already lost my oldest son already and I am not ready to lose any more members of the Five Families 'cause I've always been very close to each of ya besides of being so close to each of the members of my own crime family. Once we manage to find the Sharkslayer somehow, we will have revenge on him for killing Frankie and at least his death shall be avenged, and revenge is absolutely one of the ways of the Five Families ever since it has been first founded by one of my ancestors."
"So true, and the leopard shark mafia and the hammerhead shark mafia have always believed the true meaning of vengeance," said Luca.
"Also, the killer whale mafia and the swordfish mafia have always held the tradition of always believing in vindictive plots as well." said Yvette.
"And most of all, the great white shark mafia have their own beliefs of getting revenge and the whole Five Families wouldn't stop at nothing to get revenge no matter what." said Don Lino.
"So be prepared for the whole vindictive plot against the Sharkslayer for taking out Frankie from days ago and nobody gets away with messing with the crime family." said Yvette.
"The Sharkslayer is so gonna have a taste of vengeance for what he just did to Frankie very soon and nobody is able to escape vengeance of the Five Families." said Luca.
"Right now, it's time to put the whole revenge plan against the Sharkslayer into motion, everybody." said Don Lino. "I'll proceed to send my elite assassins of the Lino crime family to search for the Sharkslayer and have him taken out for killing Frankie while the search for Lenny and Teresa is still on, and before the whole assassassination plot could be carried out, I'll have a meeting with Sykes in order to gather more information about him so I could be able to take him down so easily. The Sharkslayer shall pay for taking Frankie's life and he shall also pay if he dares to take the life of anybody else in the criminal underworld next, and I promise you all that revenge shall come very soon."
Then, amazed by Don Lino's own desire to have revenge on the Sharkslayer for supposedly killing Frankie and will also desire to have revenge on him if he somehow manages to kill anybody else who are members of the Five Families and plans on sending the most elite assassins of the great white shark mafia to put his own plan to get revenge on to be set in motion by searching for him anywhere in the Southside Reef right after he has a meeting with Sykes to get more information about him while the mafia continues to search for Lenny and Teresa, Luca clapped his tentacles in approval and Yvette clapped her fins in approval while the other crime bosses Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks clapped their own fins in approval as well
Upon witnessing his two henchmen Luca and Yvette as well as the other crime bosses of the Five Families Don Veltroni, Don Feinberg, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks show great approval of his own plan for revenge against the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie, Don Lino suddenly smiled just as he began showing approval for himself for deciding to come up with the whole vindictive plot against the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie by sending the most skilled assassins to deal with him once he has a meeting with Sykes in order to gather some more information about him while the search for Lenny and Teresa shall continue, and then Don Lino, his two henchmen, and the other crime bosses of the Five Families did a toast with each other by using their teacups filled with tea from the teapot that has been delivered to them by the great white shark chefs, the sawshark butlers, and the nurse shark maids from earlier along with the other desserts that they've ordered for the whole meeting and then they began drinking up their tea together as well as have some of the desserts together.
Just as Don Lino, his two henchmen Luca and Yvette, and the other crime bosses of the Five Families Don Feinberg, Don Veltroni, Don Salvatore, and Don Hicks began having their tea and desserts together during the whole meeting about getting revenge on the Sharkslayer for killing Frankie, the whole meeting about the whole vindictive plot against the Sharkslayer has ended very soon and Don Lino continued to have hope that he will somehow manage to get revenge on the Sharkslayer in order to have Frankie's death avenged once he manages to gather some more information about the Sharkslayer when he will have a meeting with Sykes while he also hopes that Lenny and Teresa would be found safe and sound somehow just as he began missing them so much as much as he misses Frankie so much after his tragic death as much as everybody else does.
Meanwhile, on the next day, elsewhere at the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean, Don Lino's two younger children Lenny and Teresa are at one of the vast beautiful flower fields where they are staring at the surface of the Atlantic Ocean together, and just as they are, they are completely depressed by what their father Don Lino said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral which is Don Lino always questioning Lenny for being so different from the other sharks and always questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side, and they both wish that Don Lino would just accept Lenny for who he is rather than forcing him to be just like Frankie which he could never be anyway due to just being his own person which is a good thing and Teresa honestly never wanted to leave home in the first place, but she had no choice at all due to being unable to allow Lenny leave home all by himself, especially of how things have turned out lately.
Also, while Lenny and Teresa were in a state of depression within one of the flower fields within the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean over how much Don Lino has always expected Lenny to be just like Frankie and has always expected Teresa to start encouraging Lenny to be just like Frankie, unbeknownst to the two siblings, they are being watched over by the mysterious figures in the distance of the wastelands and the mysterious figures turns out to be something familiar such as two great white sharks and a group of shrimp, and upon noticing how depressed Lenny and Teresa are right now, they began swimming right towards them to comfort them since it turns out that they have known them for so long.
"Lenny, it has been days since we both left our home together," said Teresa.
"Yes, and you're the one who's accompanying me on leaving home," said Lenny.
"I know you're deeply upset by how things have been turning out," said Teresa.
"And I know how you're deeply upset by it as much as I am." said Lenny.
"You know I would never leave home anyway," said Teresa.
"That's 'cause you've always loved our family so much." said Lenny.
"True, and you've always loved your family so much too." said Teresa.
"We've always loved our family, but things haven't been going so well lately." said Lenny.
"True, and it's all 'cause of Daddy always expecting you to be just like Frankie," said Teresa.
"And it's all 'cause of Pop always expecting you to encourage me to be just like Frankie," said Lenny.
"Oh, he is just being downright stubborn and we've always attempted to get him to understand," said Teresa.
"But he never listens to us anyway and he still insists on what he has always insisted on doing when we got older together," said Lenny.
"Ugh, it's nothing but a total outrage for him to force us into doing these things for the sake of himself and the whole family," said Teresa.
"That's right, and I wish that he would just understand that I am just my own person rather than forcing me to be something I couldn't." said Lenny.
"Me too. You can't be a killer and you will never be a killer just you are just yourself and that's it." said Teresa.
"I already know that. Teresa, I'm just who I am and I've always loved being who I am." said Lenny.
"I've always loved you for who you are too, including our mother and anybody else who is part of our own family which is our own grandparents." said Teresa.
"I know. If Pop can't accept me for who I am, then maybe it's for the best then I don't return home at all." said Lenny.
"Are you sure you still don't wanna go back home? Even after what we've been through together all 'cause of Daddy?" asked Teresa.
Lenny nodded. "So, 'cause of all of that Pop expects me to be a killer and expects you to start encouraging me to be a killer, then there's no way I'm going back home 'cause I can't be in a place where I'm always questioned for who I am and it's downright unfair."
"I strongly understand that you're unable to stay in a place where you're being forced to be something you can't, and you're right, it is not fair at all." said Teresa.
"Also, Teresa, do you still think it's a good idea to give Pop a little time to understand that I'm just my own person?" asked Lenny.
"Yes, and even though what we just heard during Frankie's funeral reception, it's still such a good idea to give Daddy a little time that you are perfect just the way you are." said Teresa.
"Alright, I'll give him some more time to understand that I'm just myself like you and our Mom kept insisting on it," said Lenny.
"Look, I know things have been very hard lately, but you just gotta give him a little time to understand, and if you really don't wanna go home, I understand that very well." said Teresa.
"Thanks, and it's true that things have been so hard. But while I've decided to swim away from home due to what we've been through, you've decided to come along with me." said Lenny.
"Look, you're my brother and I would accompany you anytime, and I would never let you leave all by yourself, especially in this kind of situation." said Teresa.
"I am so lucky to have you my sister and that's what siblings do for each other all the time 'cause that's what good siblings are all about." said Lenny.
"We're both so lucky to be siblings to each other, and we've always been so close to each other along with Frankie ever since we used to be little kids." said Teresa.
"Just like we've been so close to Pop along with Frankie ever since we used to be young," said Lenny.
"Oh, I wish things could've been just like before, way back in our childhood together." said Teresa.
"I wish for the same thing as well, and hopefully…he will come to understand that I am my own person no matter what." said Lenny.
"Me too. You know, life isn't that easy, Lenny, especially that you're being so different from the rest of our family." said Teresa.
"True, and we've both been completely aware that there's nothing wrong with being so different 'cause everybody's different," said Lenny.
"What you just said is absolutely correct. Nobody's the same. Look, I hope that things are gonna be alright sooner or later, especially on this point." said Teresa.
"Yeah, and this whole situation gotta improve somehow 'cause we just can't be what Pop has always expected us to do and I'm just myself." said Lenny.
The two Lino siblings Lenny and Teresa continue to sat right at the vast flower field within the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean together in complete depression over what just happened lately which is their own father Don Lino always questioning Lenny for who he is and always questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side no matter what which causes their relationship with him to become very strained and the rift escalated after what he said about them during Frankie's funeral reception, and because of it, Lenny had decided to leave home and possibly never return while Teresa was so willing to accompany him on swimming away from home since she has always loved him for who he is and that he has always supported his own decision to be so different from the other sharks which he had showed great appreciation for.
Lenny and Teresa were so glad to be siblings to each other and had a very close relationship with each other ever since they used to be young shark pups while they even had a close relationship with Frankie during childhood as well, and they even remember they used to have a very close relationship with Don Lino ever since childhood, but that was way before he began questioning Lenny for his own gentle and friendly nature and questioning Teresa for always taking Lenny's side, and they both wish that things will turn out to be alright sooner or later if Don Lino gets the chance to understand that Lenny is just his own person if he's given a little more time to do so as long as Lenny gives him the chance to do so under Teresa's own insistence since it's the kind of advice he has always been receiving from her besides Mildred.
Just as Lenny and Teresa continued to be in a state of depression together over their strained relationship with Don Lino and the rift in their relationship with him has escalated after what he just said about them during the reception of Frankie's funeral which has resulted in them leaving home together, and continued to have hope that Don Lino would just have a little time to come to understand that Lenny is perfect just the way he is, they are soon greeted by the two mysterious figures that turns out to be great white sharks after all and the other mysterious figures turns out to be a group of shrimp after all, and once they are greeted by the two great white sharks and the group of shrimp, they both suddenly remember that they are Crystal and Ulrich who have been their best friends since childhood and the shrimp has adopted them after their parents have tragically died sometime and they both proceed to tell them everything and are delighted to see them again while they both comfort them at the same time.
"Hello, Lenny," Crystal greeted.
"Hi, Teresa," Ulrich greeted.
"Uh…who are you guys?" asked Lenny in surprise.
"Yeah, who are you supposed to be?" asked Teresa in surprise.
"Don't you two remember us?" asked Ulrich.
"Have any idea who we really are?" asked Crystal.
"Uh-uh." said Teresa.
"Nope." said Lenny.
"I'm Crystal," said Crystal.
"And I'm Ulrich," said Ulrich.
"We're both brother and sister like you are." said Crystal and Ulrich.
"I'm Crystal's little brother," said Ulrich.
"I'm Ulrich's big sister," said Crystal.
"We've been your best friends since childhood," said Crystal and Ulrich.
"Also, we're Crystal and Ulrich's adoptive family." said shrimp #1.
"That's right, we're the ones who raised them." said shrimp #2.
"Even after their own parents have passed away years ago." said shrimp #3.
"Wait a minute? You really are Crystal?" asked Lenny.
"Mmm-hmm." said Crystal.
"You really are Ulrich?" asked Teresa.
"Yes," said Ulrich.
"And those shrimp are your adoptive family?" asked Lenny.
"That's right." said Crystal.
"Well, it's very nice to meet you again, Crystal and Ulrich." said Teresa.
"It's very nice to meet you again, Lenny and Teresa," said Ulrich.
"You know, we haven't seen each other in a very long time," said Lenny.
"True, and the last time we saw each other was over a year ago," said Crystal.
"It has been many years since we've been best friends with each other," said Teresa.
"Mmm-hmm, and we had such good memories together." said Ulrich.
"We've always shared good memories on the day we first met," said Crystal.
"For sure, and that's what best friends do for each other all the time." said Lenny.
"So, how have you guys been?" asked Teresa.
"Oh, we've been doing very well lately," said Ulrich.
"We've been taking good care of each other," said Crystal.
"Also, we just took some more shrimp into our family," said Ulrich.
"And we've done a good job keeping our family safe as well." said Crystal.
"That's very amazing to hear about you too and thanks for telling us." said Teresa.
"Great job on taking good care of each other and being safe lately." said Lenny.
"How have you guys been doing lately?" asked Ulrich.
"We honestly haven't been doing so well like you guys did," said Teresa.
"Really? Why haven't you been doing so well?" asked Crystal.
"Well, it's a long story. We mean a really long story." said Lenny.
"You can tell us how it turned out, you two." said Ulrich.
"Okay, we'll explain everything right now," said Teresa.
"Just explain everything and we'll understand," said Crystal.
"Don't worry, we will, and we already know that," said Lenny.
"You see, the whole reason why we're having such a hard time right now is all 'cause of our own experience with our father Don Edward Lino lately," said Teresa.
"Don Edward Lino is the current leader of the great white shark mafia, and he has always expected me to be a killer just like our older brother Frankie," said Lenny.
"Also, he has always expected me to encourage Lenny to be a killer just like Frankie," said Teresa.
"Our own dad was just being downright stubborn for forcing us to do it." said Lenny.
"That kind of thing he's doing right now is also downright unfair." said Teresa.
"Pop really needs to understand that I'm just my own person," said Lenny.
"We've been trying to get him to see that, but he wouldn't listen at all." said Teresa.
"Life is so hard for somebody who is so different," said Lenny.
"That's right, everybody is so different from each other," said Teresa.
"We've always wished that Pop would come to see that I'm just myself," said Lenny.
"True, and we've always been wishing for Daddy to do that ever since we got older," said Teresa.
"Honestly, we've always been very close to our dad ever since childhood," said Lenny.
"But right now, our close relationship with our father hasn't been the best lately," said Teresa.
"Also, all 'cause of that, I've decided to leave home and probably can't go back at all." said Lenny.
"When Lenny decided to swim away from home, I decided to accompany him 'cause I wouldn't let him leave by himself," said Teresa.
"It's all 'cause we're brother and sister and we've always stuck together no matter what." said Lenny.
"Also, the whole reason why Lenny decided to leave our home is 'cause our father kept questioning him for who he really is." said Teresa.
"And he kept questioning Teresa for always taking my side. I wish that our dad would understand…and we don't know if we could ever return home." said Lenny.
Suddenly, once they have explained everything of what they have been through together with their father Don Edward Lino of the great white shark mafia to the the two mysterious great white shark figures which turns out to be Crystal and Ulrich who have been their best friends since childhood as well as the group of mysterious shrimp figures which turns out to be the adoptive family of Crystal and Ulrich right after their own parents have tragically passed away sometime, Lenny and Teresa continued to feel very depressed by how things have been turning out lately which is Don Lino always expecting Lenny to be a killer like their older brother Frankie and always expecting Teresa to encourage Lenny to be a killer which have resulted in them leaving their own home in the first place.
Upon seeing how very depressed Lenny and Teresa are over their own estranged relationship with their father Don Lino which is him always insisting on Lenny to be just like Frankie and always insisting on Teresa to encourage Lenny to be just like Frankie that eventually lead them from swimming away from their own home, both their childhood best friends Crystal and Ulrich as well as their adoptive shrimp family began to feel very bad for them, and since they have just left their own home due to their estrangement with their father Don Lino, they quickly decide to allow them to stay at the place they are living at together within the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean until they could have finally decided to go back to their home and they allow them to stay at their own home with them along with their adoptive family of shrimp as long as they needed to until they continue their own journey together.
"Thank you very much for telling us everything, you two." said Crystal.
"We appreciate you two for telling us what we needed to know," said Ulrich.
"Since you two have been going through that kind of thing lately, how about you can stay with us at our home for a while." said Crystal.
"Yeah, you two can stay with us at our family's home for as long as you want to until you can get back up on your own fins," said Ulrich.
"There's enough room for everybody, including our own guests who get to stay with us if they need to." said Crystal.
"So you can be our brand new guests and even the members of our own family is gonna allow you to stay with us," said Ulrich.
"Really?" asked Lenny in surprise.
"We can?" asked Teresa in surprise.
"Yes, and it's for as long as you need to." said Crystal.
"Especially of what you've been through together." said shrimp #3.
"Our home can be your home for a while." said shrimp #2.
"And we're so willing to welcome anybody as well." said shrimp #1.
"Well, alright then. We'll stay with you guys." said Teresa.
"We're gonna stay at your home until we can continue on." said Lenny.
"You two are gonna love our home so much." said Ulrich.
"And you'll make yourselves at home in no time at all." said Crystal.
"Oh, we will, and we promise that very well," said Lenny.
"And we already know that we'll feel at home too," said Teresa.
Both the two Lino siblings Lenny and Teresa has agreed on staying with Crystal and Ulrich along with their adoptive shrimp family at their home for a while until they could continue on their journey together right after they have swim away from their own home of the RMS Titanic due to the estranged relationship that they have their own father Don Edward Lino of the great white shark mafia which he always expecting Lenny to be like Frankie and always expecting Teresa to encourage Lenny to be like Frankie, and they smile at them just as they showed their gratitude for allowing them to stay at their home for a while Crystal and Ulrich as well as their own adoptive shrimp family smile back at them just as they all became very delighted that they accepted their own offer to stay with them at their own home for a while, especially that Crystal and Ulrich has been best friends with Lenny and Teresa ever since childhood.
Also, while Lenny and Teresa has accepted the offer to stay with Crystal and Ulrich along with their adoptive family of shrimp at their home after they have swam away from their own home of the RMS Titanic due to having a very strained relationship with their father Don Lino, they are very delighted to reunite with Crystal and Ulrich after just a year ago while Crystal and Ulrich are delighted to reunite with them even after just a year has passed, and Lenny and Crystal warmly embraced each other and Teresa and Ulrich warmly embraced each other just as they expressed their close friendship with each other while Crystal and Ulrich's adoptive family of shrimp watches the whole thing in complete delight.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Lenny and Teresa as well as their childhood best friends Crystal and Ulrich as well as Crystal and Ulrich's adoptive shrimp family, elsewhere within the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean at one of the locations within the area which is at one of the abysses of the area, a group of members of the great white shark mafia are searching for Lenny and Teresa under their own father Don Lino's orders right after they went missing all of a sudden and right after their older brother Frankie has been killed, and while they do so, they hope that they manage to somehow find Lenny and Teresa and bring them home safe and sound, and once they manage to search for Lenny and Teresa under Don Lino's orders, then the assassination plot against the Sharkslayer who is supposedly responsible for killing Frankie shall be carried out so the Sharkslayer will be assassinated as revenge by Don Lino for having Frankie killed in the first place.
"Is there any sign of Lenny?" asked great white shark mobster #1.
"Nope." said great white shark mobster #2.
"Is there any sign of Teresa?" asked great white shark mobster #1.
"No way." said great white shark mobster #3.
"Where those two could be anyway?" asked great white shark mobster #1.
"None of us don't know for sure." said great white shark mobster # 4.
"But they gotta be around here somewhere." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Yeah, we must find those two no matter what." said great white shark mobster #5.
"Don Edward Lino is counting on us to find them." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Especially they are his own son and daughter." said great white shark mobster #7.
"You know, it doesn't make any sense for them to vanish all of a sudden." said great white shark mobster #1.
"That's so true, and they both disappeared after the death of their brother Frankie." said great white shark mobster #2.
"Those two gotta be found sooner or later." said great white shark mobster #3.
"Or else Don Lino is gonna flip for sure." said great white shark mobster #4.
"He really misses his two kids so much." said great white shark mobster #5.
"So much as he misses his oldest kid so much." said great white shark mobster #6.
"We all miss those three so much after what happened." said great white shark mobster #7.
"We all must work together to keep searching for Lenny and Teresa." said great white shark mobster #1.
"Also, after we manage to search for Lenny and Teresa, we all know what's gonna happen." said great white shark mobster #2.
"That's right, and that's when Lino is gonna send some assassins on the one who killed Frankie." said great white shark mobster #3.
"The one who killed Frankie is the Sharkslayer and Lino won't stop at nothing to get revenge on him." said great white shark mobster #4.
"The Sharkslayer is gonna pay for taking out Frankie in the first place that made him the successor of the legendary Shark Hunters." said said great white shark mobster #5.
"So let's continue to get to work everybody." said said great white shark mobster #6.
"And let's be prepared for what's gonna happen next when the job is done." said said great white shark mobster #7.
"Right. Let's do it together." said great white shark mobster #1.
The group of the members of the great white shark mafia continues to search for both Don Lino's youngest son Lenny and Don Lino's only daughter under their own boss Don Lino's own orders within one of the abysses of the wastelands of the Atlantic Ocean just as they hope that they will be manage to search for them and return them back home while they are completely unaware of where they are actually at on that point, and just as they continue searching for Lenny and Teresa under Don Lino's orders, they really miss them so much as much as they really miss Frankie so much as much as Don Lino and everybody else in the whole great white shark mafia does, and they even prepare for the whole assassination against the Sharkslayer for supposedly being responsible for Frankie's death that has been planned out by Don Lino so he could get revenge on him no matter what, especially that revenge has always been one of the traditions of the Five Families ever since it has been first founded many years ago.
