All the fish swam behind the filter. Trout wasn't his normal size though. He was the size of us guppies.
"Hey! Why are you doing this?" I asked.
"Because Sadie's nephew ate me. I was so happy in the lake I lived in. He pulled me out of the lake with a hook through my mouth and killed me!" Trout answered. "I'm just trying to get back at Sadie for allowing that."
"Sadie didn't know. She was trying-"
"She was trying to help Charles get back to the world after an eternity of suffering ahead. She saved him from that. I want her to suffer as I did and how Charles should have."
"Leave us now," I said.
"Make me!"
I paused a while. We locked eyes and for a second he seemed harmless.
"I am Sunset Rose. I am the fish of Sadie Rose the Celestial Saver," I said. "You will leave my tank or I will hurt you," I said.
"Fine! This won't be the last time we meet though. I will hurt you and make your life miserable," he said.
"Not if you aren't around to."
I made eye contact and he exploded into a blast of light. He was gone for good.
"No more Trout," I said.
"Sunset?" said Jemima.
"Hey Jemmy," I said.
"I miss you. I wish you were still here," she said.
"Wait, you can't see me?" I said.
"I wish I could tell our kids the truth. I wish...I wish they'd understand," she said.
"Hey, I'm right here. No need to worry," I said.
"I can still hear your voice," she said.
Before I could say anything more, I was swept away by a swirl of black smoke.
Next thing I knew, I was back in the central part of Proud Pond.
"Hey, Sunset," said Soda. "How was your little 'adventure'?"
"Good," I said. "I saw Jemmy and killed a Celestial."
"The only animals that have ever killed a Celestial are called Sallarals," said Soda.
"Do they have any significance?" I asked.
"They are more powerful than Celestials," said Soda.
"So, if I can kill a Celestial, then what else can I do?" I asked.
"You can travel to the mortal world. You can see living animals. You aren't really there, but you can go," he said.
This meant I could go see Jemmy whenever I wanted. I could check on my kids.

After my conversation with Soda, I decided to visit Jemmy. She had had another baby!
This one's name was Bella-Bob, named by my uncle. Sadie called him Uncle Gooie.
This is the end of my story, for now...
