(Saber's pov)
"See anything mateys?" I asked peering out a porthole in the back of the gup, "not yet" Kwazii sighed pulling his spyglass away from his eye, "whoa" the captain exclaimed as the gup-A came to a halt, forcibly throwing me into Kwazii sending us both to the floor "captain Barnacles" a voice called out, dad helped me up and we turned to see a young sperm whale "Simon?" CB asked in surprise, "you know'em?" I questioned, "yes, he helped Kwazii and the captain save me when I got stuck inside a giant clam" peso explained, "ahoy matey, what seems to be the trouble?" Dad asked, "there's a big shark swimming around, he's not moving very well, I think he might be hurt" Simon told us, "we'll keep an eye out for him" the captain informed the young but sizable creature, Simon nodded and called to his pod as he swam off
"A big shark..I wonder.." my thoughts were interrupted by a school of pink fish shouting as they swam away from a coral reef "you guys don't wanna go in there" one exclaimed stopping briefly in front of our ship before swimming off again, adding to our concerns and confusion "what in the seven seas is going on?" I pondered aloud, turning to face the boys "we're about to find out, everyone canvas the area, if there's a injured shark out there he'll need peso's help" the captain ordered, me and dad started toward the reef "you know treasure, I'm beginning to think you may be a shark magnet" Kwazii remarked with a relaxed sounding laugh, "I hope you were being sarcastic" I hissed, squinting my eyes at the ginger cat, Kwazii acts more like a kitten than I do sometimes although I suppose most cats would be terrified in this situation when compared to most things dad and I have experienced it's actually rather tame....than again most cats aren't octonauts

As I was swimming near some rocky outcroppings, I realized I couldn't see captain Barnacles anywhere or anyone else for that matter, "no..p..pr..problema, I'll r..re..retrace m..my steps" I muttered trying to keep calm, my anxiety induced suturing becoming harder to control, I swam back the way I came, I'll help any creature whose hurt or sick...but I'm still a little afraid of sharks..okay maybe a lot, as I was turning a corner I bumped into someone "watch where you're going" the stingray scolded as it poised it's tail, ready to stick it's barbed spine into me, I covered my eyes with my flippers and waited for a stinging sensation
Instead I heard a growl, this growl was familiar, so I peeked around my flippers that were now covering my little yellow beak "are you alright peso?" A mildly deep voice asked, I felt a pair of paws being placed on my shoulders "yes captain-oh no, you have a barb stuck in you" I exclaimed pointing to the captain's non bandaged left arm, "eh? Oh heh, right you are peso" the captain spoke calmly, he pulled the barb out of his arm with ease "did you not notice the stingray had stung you?" I asked curiously, "not really" he started slightly rubbing the spot on the upper part of his arm, "now I see why Ursa Orson and Oasis keep saying they want to be as tough as you one day" I remarked relaxing slightly, "why does that not surprise me" the captain chuckled, "come on, let's keep searching" he added swimming off, I was quick to follow, I'm going to stick a bit closer to the captain this time
