Swix ran into Jawan. "Wow, That was a long run," he said to Alumina. He was exhausted from the run to jawan from Idalani Falls. "I wonder where we can get some fish to eat," he inquired, looking around," All of these restaurants look fancy and really really expensive." He smiled and hoped they would find something to eat without making their owners broke.

[Matt]

Alumina galloped after Swix, catching her breath when they skidded to a stop. Looking around, she noticed a small sushi bar, tucked in behind a large food court. "Le's go there!," she barked happily. Setting off at a trot, her tails swished peacefully behind her. Being the one time she had actually been with a guy she didn't think of as a brother-relation, it was... fun. She was finally having fun.

Swix smiled."Okay," he said. Swix caught up to Allumina and padded next to her. The odor of fish from the sushi shop drifted down to him, the smells almost made him drool.

[Matt]

Alumina smiled back. She ran alongside a huge peer, until she noticed something in the water. Stooping low, she peered off the edge. Suddenly, a large spurt of water hit her in the face. A small giggled from below the surface bounced up, and then a small shadow appeared. Pawing at it, Alumina tried to get it up so she could see it.



A small Bandol was struggling in her grasp. He squeaked a small, but playful, "Let me gooo~", and the lucain dropped him. After shaking herself off, she peered down at him. "Who are you?" The little Bandol peered up at the large canine, and whimpered lightly. "I am Andy, sweet as candy~" He let a small smile go, then grinned. Squeaking, he splashed under the water, leaving Alumina soaking wet. "Swix! Come here! I just saw a happy Bandol!"

[16] ((Didn't know if you would mind another pet~ ;D))

[Froma75689]

Swix raced over. "A happy Bandol?" He asked,"I didn't think there were any happy ones." He stared at the water to try to see the mysterious creature.

[Matt]

"Yah, I know! He said his name was Andy..." She peered into the water curiously, to be met by another face-full of water. Andy giggled, and dived back under so quickly Alumina couldn't catch him. He appeared a few feet away, and squeaked a happy, "Play~?" Alumina giggled, and licked Swix's ear lightly. "Come on!" She ran back, and then jumped into the water. Her tails moved like paddles, making her swim more efficiently.

[17] [2]

[Froma75689]

Swix growled at the Bandol before coiling his powerful hind leg muscles and leaping into the water. Swix's legs paddled him forward and his two tails gave him an extra boost.

[Matt]

Alumina smirked. "What, 'you afraid of getting wet?" She winked at Swix slyly, then dived deep into the water. She could see Andy swimming ahead, singing lightly. It was apparently "Under the sea," which was playing on the surface. Alumina raised an eyebrow, and swam towards it. She tried to send a question through brain-waves, as she did with her beta fish, Lucy, at home. Are you able to coppy what you see and hear? Andy nodded silently, still humming the light-hearted tune. Alumina smiled, adventure sparkling in her eyes. She swam back up to the surface and called to Swix. "Come here, you gotta see this!"

[18] [3]

[Froma75689]

Swix dived after her while he kept watch for the Bandol. Suddenly, he saw the Bandol, Andy, swimming near Alumina. He watched as she then headed to the surface before surfacing himself. His lungs were flooded with fresh air after the burning sensation from the lack of air. "Coming!" He responded to her call. He swam forward, curious to what she had found out about this odd creature.

[Matt]

She swam to Swix on the surface, and gasped for breath. Then, she spoke in excited gasdps." Andy.. can... copy... what he... sees and hears!" She smiled, then dove back under with another breath.  Andy swam up to her, grinning wildly. He dashed off into a large underwater tunnel, and Alumina motioned Swix to follow her in.

[19] [4]

[Froma75689]

Swix followed. I wonder if we will still be able to get sushi from that restaurant Swix thought to himself. His lungs had begun to burn for air, and hoped he would find air soon.

[Matt]

Alumina wasn't thinkiing about food at all. Her mind was set on following Andy, to wherever he was going. Maybe he'll lead us to treasure! No, her mind was playing games, not thinking of the world above. Finally, andy surfaced for air. Alumina followed, and she tugged Swix up as well. "You ok?" She asked, gasping with every breath.

[20] [5]

[Froma75689]

"Yeah, just a little water in my ears," he said as he tilted his head to let water come out. "I wonder where Andy is taking us?" he wondered outloud. He stared at the cave around him, and pondered if they would ever see dry land again.

[Matt]

"I dunnno, actually." She smiled wryly, took another gulp of air, and dived down deeper after Andy. Her tails wagged heavily, propelling her after the little singing Bandol.

Andy swam happily through the deep blue waters, skimming seaweed and sea-boulders. Finally, after swimming for what seemed to be at least 10 minutes, they came to a large opening.

Alumina gasped inwardly. The cave had... teeth! It looked like a large mouth! She was getting low on air, so she propelled inside the cave. She swam up to the top, where an air bubble waited. She gasped for breath, then called out. "SWIX?!"

[21] [6]

[Froma75689]

Swix looked at the water around him before taking a gulp of air and diving, his long wet fur flowing around him as he looked around for danger. Seeing Alumina, he paddled forward. He swam past many fish and sea organisms before he caught upto her. He watched as she swam through the openingof pointed rocks before following unsurely. This cave looks like it could eat us. He thought to himself. His lungsbegan to burn as he headed towards a miniscule air bubble at the surface. He heard Alumina call his name and he responded with "Alumina?!"
