A wave of celebration was felt from one shore to the next as our school of fish prepared for graduation. Soon we would become the leaders who would guide newbees into being strong and fit fish worthy of their titles.
We set off to find special items to decorate our cove area when we met up with the spy fish who were very anxious to share the news of what they had discovered. The two legged beast had been spotted on the shoreline of Marble island and it seemed they were planning another disturbing adventure.
This time we were ready. We had already hatched a plan of action should they disrupt any of our graduation exercises. We followed the spy fish to the island and slowly swam around it once to decide where would be best to play out our plan if necessary. Our first look was surprising as there was a large school of those four legged blue friends of the beasts. We would need to distract these beings in order to gather more information as to what the beasts were planning.
We heard the strange beings rambling on about awards, trophies and cheering congratulations. Maybe it was their graduation day too. Maybe they were just odd looking fish and maybe the rumors were true that they were called Fishers. Earlier in the week we learned that these beast liked to be called fishers and their four legged friends were what they call pets.
We swam closer to shore to listen to their noises and try to understand just what they were up to. Two of these beings began to recite what sounded like our roll call for classes ....

Thinking that they were busy entertaining themselves we were just about to call for the sea serpents to come and help deal with the pets but the fishers called them to their sides and began to wander off with a pole in one hand and sweet tasting bait in the other. My job was to figure out where the fishers would be standing guard. As I floated around the island I found the fishers were staying a few yards away from each other ...
Then the fate of luck brought us new information ... they were looking for shoes!! Shoes???? Why do they want shoes?? Well it didn't really matter and our leader yelled out that we were NOT to toss shoes at them and to try to prevent any items from landing on shore! We gathered as a team and used our fins to block any items from reaching the fishers. And it worked, only a few scales, bits of debris and sadly some older fish had gotten to close and ended up in a pile on shore.
This went on for what seemed forever until once again the spy fish reported that the fishers had a new plan. They now were going to hold a clam bake in the building while counting the number of shoes they had caught. Now they were talking our language! A Clam Bake!! We like to dine on succulent clams and even enjoy a crab, oyster, or lobster every now and then. Was it possible that we could have more in common with the fishers and pets? Had they discovered that land and water beings could work together in harmony?
Perhaps next season would prove to be beneficial to both sides of the looking glass. It was getting late and we needed to head back to our own waters and prepare for our own celebration ... as we swam off we heard once more the sounds of one female fisher ....

As we were about to cross into our own water we heard loud booms ring out and I was sent back to see what was happening .... I found the fishers and their pets outside lining up to take pictures of their class so I decided to take a few of my own.
During the past six weeks it seemed as though we all learned something from each other and I wanted to share the memories with friends and family.
When I got back to the cove and we looked through all the developed shots taken there was one picture that our class decided to hang up as a memento since it said it all ....
Until we meet again, FINS UP!
