One and One is Two

The Mask

"Okay. Today's meeting has come to honor. Let us all say the pledge" said Bruce.

The sharks all said their pledge.

I am a shark, not a mindless eating machine

If I am to change this image, I must first change myself

Fish are friends, not food

"Except stinking dolphins!" said Anchor.

"Dolphins?! Yeah, I think they're so cute" said Chum.

"Okay. Today's meeting is step five. Bring a fish friend. Now, you all have your friends?" said Bruce.

"Got mine" said Anchor showing that his friend was a little green fish.

"How 'bout you, Chum?" said Bruce.

"Well, I seem to have misplaced my friend" said Chum showing a dead fish bone.

"It's alright, Chum. Help yourself to one of my friends" said Bruce.

"Thanks mate" said Chum.

"Pick me! Pick me!" said Charles Wallace.

"Then it'll be you, mate" said Chum.

"I'll start the speeches. Hello. My name is Bruce" said Bruce

"Hello, Bruce" said the others.

"It has been three weeks since my last fish on my honor or I may be chapped up and made in a soup" said Bruce.

"You're an inspiration to all of us" said Chum. "Amen" said Anchor.

"Who's next?" said Bruce.

"Me, Bruce! I'll do it!" Sam squealed.

"Yes. The little sheila down the front. Come on up here" said Bruce.

Sam did her own speech.

"Hi. I'm Sam"

"Hello, Sam"

"And, uh... Well, I haven't eaten a fish since I was five years old in Never Land" 

"Hey, that's incredible" said Chum.

"Good on ya, mate!" said Bruce.

"Oh. I'm glad I got that off my chest" Sam said.

"Anyone else? Hello, how 'bout you, mate? What's your problem" Bruce said to Paul.

"Me? I-i don't have a problem" Paul stuttered.

"Then go on. Just start with your name" said Bruce.

"Okay... Hello. My name is Paul. Paul McCartney" said Paul.

"Paul McCartney?! Really?!" said Anchor.

"Come on! Give us a song" said Bruce.

"I love your work" said Chum.

"Yeah, Macca. Sing the one you wrote for Meg. You could use some practice" said John.

Paul didn't like the idea but he said yes anyway.

But as he started to sing, he saw a diver's mask. The same one as the mask the diver that grabbed Meg was wearing.

"Mates. Look" said Paul swimming away.

"I knew he had a problem" said Bruce.

"It's complicated. Our best friend is lost and Paul loves her more than life itself" said Calvin.

"What happened to her?" said Anchor.

"She was taken by these divers" said George.

"Humans. Think they own everything" said Chum.

"Probably American" said Anchor.

"Guys. What's written on the strap?" said John.

"Let's ask those sharks" Sam said.

"Sam, no!" Paul shouted.

Paul tried to pull the mask back but it snapped back and hit Sam right smack on the nose.

"Oh, Sam, I'm so sorry. Are you alright? I'm so sorry" said Paul.

"It's okay. But you really clocked me there. Am I bleeding?" Sam said.

Yes, she was bleeding.

"Sam, are you okay?" said Bruce who then smelled Sam's blood and said "Oh, that's good".

"Intervention!" Anchor and Chum shouted pushing Bruce back.

The guys tried to escape but were blocked.

"He never means it, you know. He never even knew his father" said Anchor.

Bruce kept trying to grab the guys but he couldn't.

"Sorry about Bruce, mates" said Chum.

"He's really a nice guy" said Anchor.

"We need to get that mask" said Paul.

"There is a way" said Charles Wallace. 

The Warriors then launched a torpedo into Bruce's mouth and escaped.

Suddenly, the balloons at the "party" all exploded.

The guys got away just in time.

Looks like they found a way to find Meg.

Will they? 

You're probably wondering "where the heck was Meg this whole time?"

Read the next chapter to find out!

Peace and love,

Sammy
