Angelina Jolie x Fish Out of Water

The Nanny

It was 2016, Angelina had just gone through a divorce with her now ex-husband Brad Pitt. Seeing as she would have her children part time she began searching for a nanny to look after them while she worked.

Endless nights she put into finding just the right person but to no avail. Angelina was about done trying when she received a notification.

Immediately she looked over the candidate's information and hired him faster than you could say: pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. (Yes, that's a real word)

It was the new nanny's first day, and the nerves were definitely being felt by everyone involved. The sound of an umbrella knocking on wood filled Angelina's ears. She opened the front door, to find a 3'2 goldfish with an extremely old scuba diver's helmet on. To Angelina's dismay, she found him oddly attractive. But no, no she was his boss and thus she couldn't feel those things. So, after the feelings were pushed down and the new Nanny, Fish became acquainted with the kids, Angelina left for work.
________________________________

Fish had been the kid's manny for about 6 six months and Angelina's feelings became harder and harder to ignore.

One day after dinner while Fish was drying off the dishes the kids had cleaned, she decided to make some sort of move. Gracefully she walked up to him and for the first time ever she officially confronted her burning emotions. It wasn't long before she had confessed her love, kissed him. Fish shared his reciprocating feelings and things began to blossom.
________________________________

Two years later, the two were engaged when suddenly Fish became ill. Their lives had been perfect and now suddenly it was as if the universe was against everything about it.

They had decided to elope in case they never had the chance to call each other their spouse. If Fish was able to recover they would have a proper ceremony but for now, the show would not be able to go on.

"It's not looking good, if his condition continues to decline we will need your permission to pull the plug."

Angelina burst into tears, the love of her life was dying and once again she would be alone. Her sobs could be heard from every room of the building, as her body shook so much they feared it would bring it down.

"Dr. Tanmen, Mr. Outawata would like to see his wife?" A nurse suddenly came out of his room informing them of his request. The doctor nodded and Angelina entered, doing her best to compose herself.

"Glub glubbidy glop bloops glund. (Angie darling, I need you to do something for me.)"He spoke so weakly it was a wonder she could hear him.

"Yes, anything. What is it?" Scooting her chair forward knowing she might not be able to hear his response.

"Glondo bolp gilp, Glorp vgouln gung barlm. (I need you to promise you won't give up, On your career, your love life, the kids, anything.)"

"No, don't you talk like that! You're going to be fine, we're going to be fine." Tears were now flowing down her cheeks at super speed, She fell down onto the chair she had left.

The beeping of the machinery was the only thing even close to her sobs in volume. Her husband was gone and it felt like she was gone too, they were the two halves that perfectly make a whole, they were everything the other wasn't.

The media soon found out about the actress' loss, and they tried in every way to make a story about it. Although she didn't want to, she continued working as she knew that's what he wanted.

Angelina was starting to feel better and Vogue had asked her to do an interview on what her journey has been like.

"It's not as hard to get out of bed in the morning, I don't have to force myself to do basic things like brush my teeth. He would have hated to see me upset and not be me anymore." A soft white handkerchief held in her shaking hands as she spoke, occasionally wiping the water droplets from her eyes.

"You are an absolute inspiration, if you don't mind we though we would take a photo of you and all your glory." The interviewer questioned in the most careful way possible. Angelina agreed and they made their way to the back yard which they had said would be the perfect place.

The issue of Vogue that Angelina was in, soon found its way to the shelves. Once she was able to get ahold of her own copy, she noticed something odd in behind her.

It-it was Fish! She couldn't believe what she was seeing. Her late husband somehow photobombed the magazine cover.

"Oh Fish, you never change." She thought to herself, pulling the book into her chest.

•He came into her life as a Nanny, but somehow he ended up being her whole world.•
