(I apologise for the wait. I lost my phone and didn't have any motivation on updating anything until now. *I've also been trying to get the good ending in (Mario) The Music Box, which I still could not acomplish. My computer also got fried so until someone helps me fix it, I've lost everything in it. D:* Anyways, I hope you enjoy! *Wow, is my camera that bad? XD*)

"Alright guys, all we have to do now is find a way to keep the remaining staff busy long enough so we can get in." Goldie explained to Marlin and Spike as they swam through the see-through pipes. Goldie than stopped and pointed to the Tropical fish exhibit.
"There it is!" He said as they gazed in awe at it.
"See? I told you it wouldn't be that hard!" Goldie explained. Marlin continued gazing at the exhibit and watched as all the fish in the exhibit seemed like they were having a good day. He once again thought about the orange shell he found earlier and thought about Sebrina and the others, hoping they were all okay.
Spike took notice of this and swam up next to him.
"Marlin?...You okay?" He asked.
"...Yeah. Let's just get in." Marlin sighed.
"You seem like you're having second thoughts. You sure you're fine?" Goldie turned to look at him as well.
"I bet he's thinking about that girl again." Spike mumbled.
"You mean his wife?" Goldie asked.
"No, it was some other girl they were all with earlier. Seemed like a pretty brave lady if ya ask me." Spike explained.
As they continued talking, Marlin could hear Sebrina's voice in his head.

"You mean 'we' have to try. You can't go on cool adventures without me. After all, adventure is my middle name."

"Marlin, we did not come this far just to be eaten by a whale. We're going to find him. I don't care how long it takes, we're going to get out of here."

Marlin remembered all the times Sebrina was there when he needed her most. Sebrina and the rest of his family could be in trouble and he realized he was wasting the time trying to find his wife.
"I'm-I'm not so sure about this anymore, guys." Marlin started backing away.
"Come on, Marlin! They're leaving the exhibit! Now's our chance to go in!" Goldie smiled.
Spike heard leaking sounds, looked to his right and realized the pipe was starting to break due to all the water in the pipe.
"Uh, guys..." Spike mumbled.
"How can I know if she's in there or not? What if she's not in here and in the complete opposite side of the aquarium?" Marlin started panicking.
"Guys..." Spike continued as the cracks got bigger. Goldie just smiled.
"You'll never know until you atleast try."
"I know but-" Marlin said.
"GUYS!" Spike shouted. Suddenly, the pipe suddenly broke as water spewed out and brought Marlin, Spike and Goldie with it as they screamed. Then it became black...

Meanwhile, with Dory and the others, they were calling out for Peach, trying to search for where her voice was coming from.
"Peeeeeaach? Peach? Where in the blue ocean are you?" Gill called out as they looked around.
"Maybe she's in here?" Nemo assumed, looking in a little cave.
"Peach?" His voice echoed. Next thing he knew, a chicken fish kicked him out of the cave.
"I take that as a no." He mumbled.
"Peach? You in here?" Dory flipped open a a chest and saw a bunch of different artifacts in it, which caught her attention pretty quickly. As everyone else kept looking around, Dory started messing around with the objects that were in the chest, starting with the giant red bottle cap.
"Hey, I think I see you guys!" Peach shouted out.
"Where?" They asked.
"Oh, nope. Wait. That's just seaweed. My bad!" She apologized, making them groan in annoyance.
"Do you guys even know what's been here? I think I'm gonna get sick the longer I stay here!" Gurgle panicked.
"THAT'S because you're not looking hard enough." Bloat mumbled.
"What was that, Bloat? I'm sorry I had a little algae stuck in my NON-EXISTENT EARS!" Gurgle shouted at him.
"Guys, stop. We're getting closer now." Jake explained.
Suddenly, they immediately heard sounds of squawking coming from the surface.
"*Gasp!* Birds! Maybe they can help us!" Dory laughed as she swam up to the surface. The others followed her in interest.
Once they got to the surface, they saw that the birds weren't just squawking, they were flying in a circular motion above them.
"Uhh...are you sure these guys can help us?" Nemo asked in worry, hoping that the mysterious birds were friendly. Next thing they knew, one of the birds caught it's eye on Dory in a hungry like manner. It squawked once more, flew down and snatched Dory with it's feet!
"AAAAAAGGGHH!!" Dory screamed as she was lifted into the air.
"DORY!" Jake and Nemo shouted in worry.
"What kind of birds ARE these?! Are they infected?!" Gurgle rubbed his fins together, anxiously.
"QUICK! We've GOTTA stop them birds!" Susan commanded.
"And HOW do you suppose we do THAT?!" Gurgle asked.
Jake swam around in fear, wondering how to save his new friend. He then looked at Bloat and Gurgle and smiled. Bloat and Gurgle looked back at him in confusion.
"What's with that look?" Bloat asked cautiously.
"My nerves are shaking. Please don't look at me like that." Gurgle shuddered. Jake looked at them in determination.

"Seriously?! THIS is your plan!?" Gurgle asked as he and Bloat were wearing coral pieces on their heads.
"Just trust me! It'll be fine!... although there's a 50-50 percent chance you might die..." Jake muttered.
"Trust you? TRUST YOU?! HA! I'd like to see that with ma own eyes!" Susan laughed as Jake rolled his eyes in response.
"Just hurry up and distract it!" Nemo begged Gurgle and Bloat.
"You heard Sharkbait! Distract that bird!" Gill commanded.
"Why do WE have to do it though?!" Gurgle asked as he saw the bird circling around above them again.
"BeCAAAUSE you two are the easiest distractions here! Just...star an argument!" Gill explained to them.
"HEY! I CAN SEE THE ENTIRE OCEAN FROM UP HERE! HAHA!" Dory shouted happily.
Suddenly, they all heard the sound of more birds practically screaming "I'M HUNGRYYYYY" as they started to fly around, surrounding the bird holding Dory captive.
"Those are some hungry birds..." Susan muttered.
"Okay, uh, hate to interrupt the argument but uh... it's getting harder to breathe up here." Dory explained. The bird holding her just looked her at her stupidly before the other birds suddenly started attacking him.
"We need to do this now!" Nemo said in panic.
"Question, are these birds infected?" Gurgle asked in worry.
"NOW!" Everyone shouted at Gurgle and Bloat.
"Ohhhhhh..." Gurgle repositioned the kelp on his head and then he and Bloat swam further.
"HEYYYYYY! DOWN HERE!" Gill got the birds attention.
The birds all stared down at Bloat and Gurgle with hunger in their eyes.
"Ah, they're doing so well." Deb told her reflection from a broken piece of reflective glass in the sand as the others watched what was going on.
"Uhhh, yeah! Look at us! All alone and definitely not deseased!" Gurgle said nervously.
"Well Gurgle, it was nice knowing ya." Bloat practically gave up and just sat there.
One of the birds squawked before the rest of them started diving down towards them. Bloat and Gurgle screamed in fear.
The bird holding Dory swooped down to catch the fish but missed as it soared back up to try again. When it looked down at it's feet, it realized that it missed and it no longer had hold off Dory!
"YES! HAHAAA!" Jake shouted victoriously as he set Dory beside him.
Before the birds could swoop down again, the sound of a boat horn was heard, scaring them away.
"GO AWAY! SHOO! SHOO!" The man on the boat shooed the birds away. The birds flew away and the man groaned in annoyance.
Nemo turned around and gasped.
"*Gasp!* Guys! Look!" He pointed. Everyone turned around, smiled and cheered.
"WE MADE IT BACK! WOOHOO!" Bubbles cheered.
"Wow Jake. Looks like you're not so useless after all." Susan looked at Jake.
"We made eet back. Now what?" Jacques asked.
"We go in there, retrieve Nemo's Dad and Spike and go back home!" Gill explained, happily.
"Let's hope we're not too late!" Nemo said as everyone started swimming towards land but were stopped once they saw Peach, sitting on a rock next to the sand.
"Oh! Hey guys!" She waved.
"PEACH?!?" They shouted.
"Yeah, hi, I was kinda stuck on the sand but I managed to get out. I heard that the New Zealand National Aquarium was closed so maybe we can start there." Peach explained.
"Okay, now the question is, how do we get IN there?" Deb asked.
"Oh, well, we can use this highly useful and convenient entrance that lead to the pipes inside the aquarium!" Peach explained, pointing to the big entrance under the dock.
"Great! Let's go." Dory said, going in first. Deb grabbed Peach off the rock and followed everyone else in excitement.
"Ohhhhhh, we're almost there!" Deb cheered.
