AAOOOSC! Wheatie Bits!

E. 6. "A Fanciful Day at the Beach" (8/10)

In the ocean, Brett and Jake are swimming with haste with Jake leading his partner. Water is splashing and spraying everywhere as the ocean laps around them.

"They're over here!" Jake hollers, heading toward the horizon.

Brett persistently follows him, keeping a keen eye ahead for any sight of one of the three. Instead, he spots an odd, glowing dip in the ocean.

His eyes widen at the sight. "WHOA! STOP!" He halts his swimming, quickly transferring to treading water.

Jake also stops and treads water, peering ahead.

A few yards away from them is the same mysterious whirlpool with its turquoise glow as it sucks in the surrounding waters;

Jake's eyes light up at the magical sight. "Ooo!"

"That might explain a few things!" Brett hollers over the howling of the vortex. He gazes at the whirlpool's surrounds. "Where would it take them to?"

Jake begins paddling toward it. "Well, there's one way to find out!"

Brett reverts his gaze back at his drifting friend; his eyes immediately widen. "No! Don't go!"

Jake peers behind his shoulder, spotting him with a worried expression. "I don't wanna go, but it's pulling me in! It's pulling you in as well!"

Brett hastily peers down at himself. Sure enough, he senses himself being sucked toward the vortex as the waters around him pull away toward its direction.

"What?" His eyes fly open as he begins to fling his arms through the water. "No, no, no, no, no, no, no—"

Then the whirlpool yanks the two in, spinning them through its water-made, glowing sides, around its empty space.

"WAAAHHH!!!"

They fall through its bottom, vanishing from sight.
