One morning as I was sitting on my rock combing my long silky hair, I heard a crack, sort of like a rock being kicked or thrown. I looked around but saw nothing, so I assumed it was just the ocean or a bird or something. After a couple minutes I heard it again. I turned around and behind a rock, a couple rocks to the right of where I was laying, sat a boy two-leg throwing rocks into the ocean angrily. I peered behind the rock just enough to make out his facial details. He had black hair and brown eyes, just like me. He looked upset, angry mostly. I wanted to ask if he was okay​, but I was a little scared to speak to a two-leg. He stayed for a while. Eventually he drifted off to sleep on the rocks, just as I do. With him asleep I was able to get a closer look at him. He was tall, which was surprising because he didn't have a tail, but I realized he also looked a lot like me. I looked at his hands, they looked actually like mine just rougher. I got as close as possible to him as I brushed is soft hair out of his face. He had the same face as me too! I sat down close to his left leg and just sat and stared, he was beautiful. After a while he started to wipe his eyes as if he were awaking. I started to panic! I quickly jumped into the ocean and swam to the side. Luckily he walked off not knowing what had happened.
