29. Fred

Ophelia was a good kid. Well she tried to be at least. John B was currently stealing scuba gear while she sat on the boat for look out.
"Found em chief" John B walked out holding scuba tanks.
"Great job captain" Ophelia smiled. John B started loading the tanks into the small boat. Ophelia turned her head to the sound of footsteps.

"Are you staking us?" Sarah came out of nowhere. She was staring directly at John B.
"Yeah. Why don't you just tell your daddy I blew the bilge on Druthers?" He rolled his eyes.
"Everything's good to go. Just toppin' of these tanks" he started walking away to the boat. While Ophelia was sitting there talking to the fish that were under water.

"I'm gonna call you bob. Oh and you jerry" she smiled at the fish
"Oh you're pretty" Ophelia gasped at an orange and blue fish. She tried to grab it. Which was the most stupidest idea. She leaned forward....A bit too much.

There was a loud shriek and a big splash.
"Ophelia? What the hell?" John B was walking towards the boat when he saw his sister fall into the water. She submerged and gasped for air.
"Oh my God, Ophelia" Sarah walked over with her mouth wide opened.

"What the hell were you doing?" John B asked his sister Ophelia got back on the boat and crossed her arms in frustration.

"Well, Jonny. I was trying to catch Fred" she smiled.
"Who the fuck is Fred" he asked confused as hell.
"The fish" she pointed to the fish That was staring right at her. John B sighed at her antics.
"Why we're you trying to catch Fred?" He raised his eyebrows.
"He was pretty" Ophelia shrugged.

"Dear god" John B sighed. She turned her head to where Sarah was standing.
"Oh, hi Sarah" Ophelia waved at her.
"Hi lia" she smiled.
"Ok dear sister we got to go" he spoke with an accent and patted her head.
"Sister?" Sarah looked at both John b and Ophelia.

"Yeah. Twins actually. Found out a few days ago" John B shrugged.
"Woah" Sarah gasped.
"Ok,we're leaving now" he stood up and grabbed Ophelia gently. She waved at Sarah.

"Wait, John B" Ophelia stopped him.
"What?" He asked.
"I can't leave Fred" she pointed into the water.
"Lia.i don't give two fucks about Fred". John B be closed his eyes.
"Hey! That's not nice. He could here you" she pouted.
"I don't care. We have to go now" he told her sternly.
"Can I please get it" she begged.
"No" he went to the steering wheel of the boat.

"John B please" she began fake crying to get him to say yes. John B stared at her for a bit.
"It's a literal fish- you know what fine. Fine go get it" he sighed
"YAY!" Ophelia yelled and dived into the water. She came back with 'Fred' the fish.

" Lia it's gonna die" John B smacked his forehead.
"No it won't" she smiled. She grabbed her bag and pulled out a huge clear plastic bowl thing. She Put some water in it and popped Fred in. She smiled widely at her newly found friend.

Meanwhile John B grabbed Ophelia's bag and looked into it.
"Where the hell did you get that" he pointed to the fish tank.
"Oh, this?, I found it on the beach so I took it" she shrugged. John B shook his head with a smile. They soon began driving back to the rest of the group.
