JESSE'S POV

We snuck back through the passage ways and we found one that lead to the throne room and it was right behind Saturn's throne. We were going to steal the trident. Saturn was on his throne and the trident was just there. We only needed to reach out and grab it. But if we just took it, he would notice. That's where Ivy and Caleb come in. They swam into the throne room.

Ivy: "Your majesty."

Saturn: "What is it, Ivy?"

Ivy: "Uhh... what does a dolphin say when he's confused?"

Saturn: "What are you talking about?"

Ivy: "He says 'Can you please be more Pacific?'"

Caleb burst into giggles. It was hard not to smile myself.

Saturn: "I really don't have time for your silly jokes today, Ivy."

Ivy: "Where does seaweed look for a job?"

Saturn: "*sigh* Fine, I'll play your game. Where?"

Ivy: "At the Kelp wanted section."

Saturn: "Oh, for the love of Poseidon!"

Ivy: "What did the wise papa fish tell his son?"

Saturn: "What?!"

Ivy: "Keep your friends close and you're anemones closer."

Saturn: "Ugh!"

While he was distracted, I quickly grabbed the trident. I signalled to Ivy that we got it and we went back through the passage ways and out of the palace.

Saturn: "That will do, Ivy!"

Ivy: "Wait one more, one more! Have you heard about the restaurant that caters exclusively to dolphins?... It only has one customer but at least it serves a porpoise."

Saturn: "Out!"

Ivy and Caleb both swam out giggling.

Saturn: "Dolphins and Porpoises aren't even the same thing."

We all met outside.

Ivy: "You got it?"

Jesse: "Sure did We got the bait."

Reuben puffed his chest out in pride. I smiled.

Ivy: "Perfect. Now, to get Saturn above the Cloud."

Jesse: "Axel, Olivia, are you sure you can do this?"

Olivia: "Positive!"

Axel: "We got this!"

I hugged them and gave them the trident.

Jesse: "I believe in both of you. Go. Be safe."

They swam back to the palace, only this time, getting Saturn's attention was the goal.

Jesse: "Ivy, Caleb. You two can come with us."

Ivy: "Right."

I wonder how Pearl is going with that shark.
