Part 4.

Marlin and his son Nemo swim to the school, along with loz and the others.

"Hmm. I wonder where we're supposed to go." Marlin said.

A big green and blue spotted fish opens her mouth, and her children swim out, "Bye, mom!" The fish children said.

"I'll pick you up after school." The mother fish said. Two fish grab a hermit crabs shell and start passing it to each other.
"Come on, you guys, stop it! Bring it back!" The hermit called out.

As soon as Marlin and nemo head over towards a group of fish consisting of a purple octopus, a seahorse and a yellow, black, blue, and purple butterfly fish.

"Excuse me. Is this where we meet his teacher?" Marlin asked the fishes.

"Hey, look who's out of the anemone." Bob grinned.

"Yes, shocking, I know." Marlin sheepishly said.

Loz smiled at the fishes. "Yeah, well, Marlin is still a fish." He joked.

Marlin glared at him as he looked back at the fishes. "Marty, right?" Bob asked.

"Marlin." Marlin corrected.

Rosalie added in. "And you are?"

"Bob."

"Ted."

"Bill." Bill introduced as he laughed. "Hey, you're a clownfish. You're funny, right?" He snickered. "Hey, tell us a joke."

"Yeah!" Bob agreed.

Ted smiled. "Yeah. Come on. Give us a funny one." He said, replying a fish.

The father of Nemo smiled sheepishly. "Well, actually, that is a common misconception. Clownfish are no funnier than any other fish." He tried to tell them.

"Yeah, They're just clownfish." Loz agreed with marlin.

Mallo snickered. "At least they look like funny." He joked as he got elbowed by Rosalie. "Ow!"

"Don't encourage them." She scolded.

The fishes didn't listen. "Aw, come on, clowny." Bob teased.

"Yeah, do something funny." Ted agreed.

Marlin sighed. "Alright, I know one joke. Um, there's a mollusk, see, and he walks up to a sea ― well, he doesn't walk up, he swims up." He tried to tell the joke.

As Marlin butchers the joke, the three fathers' eager expressions slowly deflate. Especially the Amazon Animals who looked deflate too.

"Well, actually, the mollusk isn't moving. He's in one place and then the sea cucumber ― well they... I'm mixed up. There was a mollusk and a sea cucumber, none of them were walking, so forget that I said that ―" He got cut off by Bob.

"Sheldon! Get out of Mr. Johannsen's yard, now!" Bob demanded to the baby seahorse.

Nearby, a smaller seahorse, butterfly fish and octopus named Tad, Pearl, and Sheldon are playing when a fish with eyes both on one side of his body comes up out of the sand. They hide behind him.

"Alright, you kids. Ooh, where'd you go? Ooh, where'd you go?" The grumpy sand fish grumbled while the fishes giggled around.

Loz chuckled along. "Dad, dad, can I go play? Can I?" Nemo asked his dad.

"Uh, I would prefer if you and the Irelanders go play on the spongebeds." Marlin replied as they watched fish bouncing on the spongebeds like trampolines until one fell off and started crying.
