Josh swam up, tail swishingfrom side to side. He stopped when he ended in front of a large coral. He stood before a crevice in the rock sat and called, "Blub! Blub, blub blubbb, blubbbbbbs." He watched in silence as his friend, Hana swam out, yawning.
"Burble blub blubbb?" She asked inquired, annoyance in her voice.
He looked over his shoulder and used one of his fins to indicate a location, "Blub Blurble! Bluh blub blubba bluh honk bluhs blurble, blubs, sburble, bluhs, blub blubbies! Bluh blub." He looked at her gaping mouth and felt a sense of dread at the horrible news he had to share.
She started to swim forward, but called back, "Bluh blubba blub, blubbbs!"
He swam quickly, catching up with her through sheer force of will. They swam in silence both hoping the situation hadn't escalated too much since Josh had left.
They heard aggressive slapping, and saw it. Jish was slapping Sam, Simon, Steven, Sebastian, and Sawyer like they owed him money. They probably did, but nonetheless. To make matters worse, Jish was smoking and breathing into nearby children. This was very much not going swimmingly.
Hana swam forward and rammed into Jish, sending him floating away. "Blub bluh blubba?"
"I'm Harry Styles." They coughed bubbles.
"Bluh blub blubbs." Hana responded sadly.
"Styles."
"Bluh, blurb blub." After speaking, Josh swam over to Sam, Simon, Steven, Sebastian, and Sawyer, helping them to be on the proper side. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Jish stole algae from a guppy.
"Blub bluh blurb bluh, bluh blurble honk." Hana looked taken aback by Jish's cruel words.
"Honk blub!" She cried out.
"Hink blub, bluh!" He glared at her, "Blurble, blubba blub blubba bluh?" Hana made a disgusted face.
"Bluh! Blub bluh honk bluh blubba blub bluh?!" She looked both devastated and pissed simultaneously.
"Bubber, bluh blubba blub bluh blub bubba bluh blurble."
"Honk bluh!" Jish stayed put, "BLUH BLUB BLUH! BLUB BLUBBA BLUH HONK!"
He swam out of there quickly. Josh laid a comforting fin on her fin. She smiled like a fish.
It would all be okay in the end. Maybe Jish was destined to be like this. It was a shame. All that wasted potential.
He shook his head and smiled fishily back at her.
