Back in the ocean, we started searching through marine trash and Fly spoke out loud:
-Now...all we need is an octopus and we'll be human again, although I will miss being a fish!-
-Fly…-Chuck said while Fly searched among the objects.
-The truth is that it has its advantages!-
-Fly!-
-Look what I found!-He said, taking out a small puppet.
-FLY!-Chuck answered angrily-
-Neat huh?-
-Fly, listen to me, if we find an octopus and I said IF. How are we gonna get to spray ink? An octopus is 30 times bigger than us! And it only sprays ink when it scares!-
-Hey look, there's a mirror!-Fly said, grabbing a broken mirror and ignoring his cousin.
-Fly! Didn't you hear what I said?! -He asked nervously.
-Look what we've found!-Stella called us, showing us and Sasha a figurine of a small horse.
Steven turned and with shining eyes quickly went to see it. Chuck started to sound desperate.
-Are you two out of your minds?! It'll be sunset in half an hour, do you hear me A HALF HOUR?!-He shook Fly before finishing-We'll never take another breath of fresh air, FISH FOR LIFE!-
Celia and I looked at him worried, especially she, she tried to approach him to calm him down but backed down when Chuck's expression changed when he saw a small clock:
-Oh look what i've found, a waterproof watch!-
-Chuck…-Fly said.
-Look, I can use it as a belt!-He said while putting it on.
-Chuck listen to me!-
-Then i'll know exactly how much time i have left before i'm doomed!-
-CHUCK!-Fly shouted-Listen, I got a plan, we'll scare an octopus with the mirror just like the professor did-He said showing him the mirror.
-Oh yeah, is that all…-Chuck said sarcastically-First we have to find one, then we to get out in the open, then we have to…-
-You're always talking about what won't work!-Fly yelled at him and then pushed him-Why is everything you say so negative?-
-Well, unlike you, I use logic. You think we just can swim up to a huge octopus?-
I didn't want to intervene, but my instinct forced me to do so. I approached to separate them:
-Stop fighting, it's not worth it! You have to focus on the mission before time runs out-
-Are you guys fighting or just disgusting?-Stella asked.
-It's okay Stella, Chuck's making sure he doesn't miss an opportunity to moan-Fly pushed me away with a light push-And now, I'm going to find an octopus, adios!
I felt a slight tremor, I looked to the sides as Fly retracted, I swam away only for seconds later a giant tentacle grabbed me without being able to escape, it turns out that we had an octopus right under our noses without realizing it!
-Look into the mirror!-Fly said, raising the mirror.
-Help!-Stella shouted from below.
Other tentacles grabbed Chuck and Celia. While Fly was still trying to get the octopus to look at the mirror, the octopus grabbed Fly with another tentacle causing the mirror to break.
While this was happening, Stella (who was not grabbed by a tentacle) gave a loud scream. The octopus abruptly let go of us and threw a large stream of ink, the four of us coughed and Fly said:
-It swam away...It got scared by our screams! We have the last ingredient for our potion! We are saved!-
While Fly took some of the ink for the antidote, the rest of us looked a little scared.
-Fly...? Look...that's what scared the octopus...-Chuck said, pointing out what had really scared the octopus.
Joe, the shark and his entire army had surrounded us with no possibility of escape.
-Well, well, well...-Joe muttered-Just in time...for happy hour!-
Fly looked at the rest with fear, the crabs soon prevented us from escaping.
