Kiki's POV
I jumped into the ocean and made a huge splash. I've been living on a cay for over 2 weeks. My parents ended up giving me a phobia by abandoning me. They said that I had Autophobia.. What does that mean, you might ask? Well.. it's a fear of being abandoned.. I know this cause they said something like these exact words:
"She may have Autophobia and can be afraid of being abandoned but it doesn't mean we can't leave her on a cay.." or something like that. I look around the ocean and of course, the usual.. Colorful fish, Whales, Seaweed, some orange tiger shark thing swimming around, some reefs- wait.. IS THAT AN ACTUAL TIGER SHARK?! I'm not risking it! I tried swimming back up, but I can't for some reason. I start to sink and I tried swimming back up but soon, I get too tired to try. I close my eyes and all I can hear is something that sounds fast swimming towards me.
Kwasii's POV
I'm driving my Gup around the sea and I see something sinking in the distance. It's.. something black. I swim quickly but carefully towards it and I see that it's a.. malnourished and underfed creature.. Seems like a land animal underwater. "Well, I'll be a sea monkey's uncle! What may this creature be?" I quickly grab the arm and pick it up. I put it in my Gup and drive back to the Octopod.

(Still Kwasii's POV)
Tweak opens the Octohatch and I enter the octopod. I find the captain talking to Peso in HQ. "Captain! Peso! Look at this!" I got both of their attention and they inspected the little creature in my arms. "Hmm, I'll have a look. Then, I'll have Shellington figure out what species it is cause it's definitely not a sea critter." Peso decided. I carry the little creature into the Sick Bay and he inspects the little thing when we got there.
Nobody's POV
Peso was checking if the little Ferret was alive, and she was. Shellington ran into the Sick Bay with Tunip by his side. "I've figured out what the creature is!" Shellington exclaimed. "Well, What could she be?" Peso asked. "Her animal is a Ferret." "So.. like a weasel?" Kwasii asked, Confused. "Something like a weasel, yes. Ferrets are carnivores. They're also able to swim underwater but they can get exhausted easily." Shellington started explaining. "So That's why I found her underwater!" Kwasii realized. "Anyways.. Continue on, Shellington." Peso allowed Shellington to explain more about ferrets. "Well, these land animals are brilliant-minded creatures and can solve any problem fast. These little critters also don't react well with bright light. So, that's all I know so far, but I'll be sure to study more about ferrets!" Then, Shellington left the room.
