Bonnie was finished being checked at the repair docks and was heading to the fuel docks next. The maintenance told her that she was low and need to fill up before she did anything else. Earlier she checked in at the 'Great Ocean Tug and Salvage Company Dock.'

~Flashback~

The female tug sailed into the Big Harbor for the first time. It was much bigger than she anticipated when she saw it from a distance. "I think Prince Rupert is bigger than this." She thought. "Or maybe it's the same."

Oh, there were so many new things to see. She saw a lighthouse as she floated by and way up ahead was a huge bridge that stretched across the harbor. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the company's insignia flag fluttering above a rotating building. "Oh, that's it." She mumbled to herself and she turned in that direction. "And that must be their boss." She floated towards the company dock and tooted her whistle once. "Bonnie Tugboat, checking in for duty sir!" She announced in a polite voice.

The Dispatcher turned around to face her. "Ah yes Bonnie." He said looking her up and down, hoed and hummed a little. "Was the journey rough?" He saw little dents and scuffle marks from her trip. Bonnie's face a turned a little serious. "Yes," She said slowly.

~End of Flashback~

What she discussed with him still gave her small chills. She hoped a solution would come out of it. Especially if there were going to be more ships coming through the Arctic during the summer months. Afterwards the Dispatcher told her to go to the repair dock to be sure that everything was in working order. Fortunately, there was nothing too serious and as soon as Bonnie can get her fill of oil she would need to move a barge named Barrington to the unload pipes at the oil refinery.

"There's the fuel docks" She said to herself and made her way there quickly since she was worried about going empty and her engine quitting on her. Suddenly she heard a loud sharp whistle blast that caused the poor tug to nearly jump out of her bumpers and gasp from being startled. "What the f-"

"Identify yourself!" A voice shouted. Bonnie spun around to face a tugboat in a dark red firefighter's helmet coming at her with a very serious look on his face. She was not sure what to do at that point. Either make a like a banana and split despite a low tank or speak quickly. She chose the latter. However, she spoke so fast, he did not understand a word she said. He frowned deeply, looking her up and down. "I'm going to need you to come with me." He said and floated off. She soon followed behind him, wondering where he was taking her but was far too scared to ask.

Constance the Coast Guard ship was taking a short break at her dock from patrol when the safety tug sailed into the naval yards. She saw Foduck floating up with a tugboat in gray cloche hat with a light blue ribbon tied around it. She blew her whistle in greeting. "Hello Foduck." She said. "And who is this?" Foduck greeted her back with his whistle and went straight to business. "I found her sailing towards the fuel docks." He explained. "I believe she sneaked in the harbor without anyone noticing. I couldn't understand her so I turning her over to you."

The female tugboat was too scared to speak. Constance looked at the girl for a while and then at Foduck. Then she started laughing. The safety tug stared at Constance, confused on why she was laughing instead of cracking down on the frightened tug. The new tugboat looked a little more annoyed than confused.

The coast guard ship managed to stop and said. "I guess this is what happens when your Dispatcher doesn't tell you or the other tugboats that you'll be receiving a new tugboat from the west. I don't know what he was thinking when he wanted it to be a surprise."

Foduck was speechless; he was trying to turn in their new recruit and did not realize it. Foduck looked at her rather sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I was just doing my job as the safety tug." He said in a small voice. The new tugboat just looked at him with a raised eyebrow. She looked like she was about to say something when her engine quit on her. "Oh ho-ho no." She groaned. "I'm empty and got work I need to get done."

"I can tow you to the fuel dock." Foduck offered, and he went along side of her to button on with his towrope. It was the least he could do since he did try to turn her over to the authorities. "Thanks." She said quietly but looked rather sulky.

Constance watched the small exchange between them. "I don't believe you introduced yourself." She said. The female tug looked up at the coast guard and at Foduck. It was her turn to look sheepish. "My name is Bonnie." She said in little voice.

"Let us be the first to welcome you to our harbor."

"Yes, welcome." Foduck smiled, both blew their whistles in greeting.

Bonnie let out a shy polite smile. "Thanks." Then it faded and glanced at the safety tug. "Though you kinda scare me now."

Foduck didn't say anything. "I'll get you to the fuel dock now." He said and pulled her away from the naval yards.

There I go again, cutting it off =( . Ok I'm beginning to worry a little, is she becoming sue-ish? I hate that. I do not intend for her to fall for ANYONE, she does NOT have a tragic past like a sue. Just..no…
