You saw the cater bus pull and to your surprise and happiness, you saw your aunt fly out.

She flew over to you and picked you up, giving you a smile "hey there my little starfish, it's good to see you!" She cooed, giving you a hug.

You smiled and hugged back "hi aunt Blissy!"

After a short while you both broke the hug "your parents and uncle are busy, so I offered to babysit you for the rest of the day so we can have fun together!" Said Bliss, giving you a kiss on the cheek.

"Yay!" You cheered, feeling happy at that, it had been a while since you got to spend some quality time with your aunt.

"What are we gonna do?" You asked curiously, resting your head on her chest as she mad her way into Trollstopia.

"Oh you'll see my little starfish" she replied with a smile.

You huffed and gave her the puppy eyes "please tell me at least one" you begged.

Bliss looked down and into your eyes, her smile slowly faded into a nervous frown and she began sweating, unlike her older brother she could not resist your puppy eyes.

"Uhhh....well..." she began, sound nervous.

You decided to go further and pouted, making your puppy eyes a little bigger "please...."

Bliss huffed and smiled softly "oh I can't resist, alright, first, I'm gonna show you more of techno reef and some of the creatures, it'll be ones you haven't seen before and the places are new~"

You gasped excitedly "yay! Are we going now!?"

She nodded, smiling brightly "yeah! Your gonna love what there is"

She then began walking into the direction of a nearby beach, and you could badly contain your excitement. Your dad rarely let you explore the rest of the reef due to the fear that a predator might hunt you, so this experience was going to be exciting.

🌊🌊

You had both made it to the ocean and had began exploring. You saw many new creatures and places. You saw where the LED coral was grown, you saw some new neon jellyfish, you saw some neon mandarin fish, and you saw some electronic coral too, you had seen similar things in techno Lagoon. You and Iris (who was in your hair) loved what you saw, the experience was amazing.

Bliss smiled at the look of joy on your face, smiling as you took everything you were seeing in. She made sure to stay away from areas were there were predators so you wouldn't have to worry.

While you and your aunt were having fun, you couldn't help but feel like you were forgetting something...

You looked over in a familiar spot, hoping that he would stay hidden...

The baby shark slowly came out of his hiding place and looked around curiously, confused as to why you weren't here to meet him like you usually were.

He swam out and into the neon clearing, continuing to look for you, he had grown quite attached to you lately.

The young shark grew concerned when he didn't see you anywhere, he looked over at techno reef, usually he'd stay away from there due to the bright lights, but he missed you and you could be there.

Trollex was taking a swim in techno reef, doing his daily checkup on his kingdom and trolls, just then, he spotted a shark swimming towards the reef...

The king of techno instantly felt panic run through him, he turned to his techno trolls and yelled "everyone swim to safety! A shark is approaching!"

At hearing this, all the techno trolls and any other genre trolls in earshot immediately began panicking and swam to hiding spots like under rocks or small caves that a shark could not get them in.

Trollex was just about to zoom away when he noticed the shark was now two feet away from him. Staring at him curiously.

The king of techno was frozen with complete fear, looking at the shark with wide eyes full of fear.

But to his surprise, the shark hadn't attacked him yet, instead, it just looked at him, seeming calm...

The young shark couldn't help be disappointed at there being no sign of you, he did one last scan of the area to confirm that you weren't there and was left saddened.

Though, he did find the techno king's neon blue colors to be interesting so the journey here wasn't a complete waste of time.

Just as he was about to swim away, several guards and what looked to be a ninja techno troll surrounded the shark, some standing in front of the king of techno protectively.

Trollex (who had now calmed down a little) looked at the shark who was now backing away looking scared?

He had to admit, in all his years of seeing sharks that had invaded the reef, he'd never seen this reaction from one, when a shark did invade the reef, they would attack when threatened, but he had never seen one actually back away when threatened.

He felt sorry for it but at the same time it was also quite fascinating...

Just then, he saw two familiar techno trolls swimming towards him looking panicked.

You could not describe the panic you felt when you saw your beloved pet shark in danger, you were also worried on what your dad would think if he found out that you had been secretly visiting a shark behind his back.

"Wait! Don't hurt him!" You cried out loudly in alarm, wanting to get there quick, but Bliss grabbed you, holded you back.

"What are you doing?! You would get hurt!" Bliss said worriedly as she looked at the shark uneasy.

"No, he is my friend! Let me go!" You said, getting more worried as you tried to break free from her grip.

The shark, hearing you, quickly turned around to you and tried to swim towards you, but the guards kept him in one place which made him feel scared again.

"Y/n, what do you mean that he is your friend?" Trollex asked curiously while asking his guards to stand down, but still stay alert until he decided what to do with him.

You sighed, there was no point in hiding it anymore, you had to tell him, you just hoped he wouldn't be mad.

You finally broke free and swam to your dad. "I..I met with him before. maybe one or two years ago...we played together and he was harmless. I am sure he came to see me again. Right boy?" You said with a smile as you waved to the shark who nodded back, happy to see you again.

You frowned worriedly as you looked at your dad, concerned that he would be angry...

"Guys, I need to talk to my daughter alone" Trollex said, looking at his younger sister and the guards.

Although hesitant, Bliss Marina and the guards left, staying a short distance away in case anything happened.

You looked up at your father worriedly, waiting for him to say something.

"Y/n, why didn't you tell me about this before?" He asked softly, there wasn't any sign of anger in his voice.

You sighed sadly, feeling your fin ears lower a little, looking down at the ocean floor "because, I thought you'd be mad, and you wouldn't be happy that I was playing with a shark..." you responded quietly, still not looking at him.

Trollex looked at the shark behind you, studying his facial expression, said shark appeared to be calm and happy, showing no signs of aggression at all.

He looked back at you and asked "is he really harmless?"

You nodded, nervously fiddling with your fingers.

Trollex sighed. "Alright. If he did not try to eat you before, that means he will not do that this time either. However, he can't stay here. One day this shark will grow up and no longer see you as a friend. I'll let him off this time okay?"

You nodded, understanding what he is saying. "Okay."

Both of you went back and Trollex asked the guards to let the shark go, who happily went to you and nuzzled his snout against your cheek making you laugh.

Iris came out to see what was happening but when she saw the shark, she quicky went back into your hair, hoping the shark will be gone soon.

Everyone watched the shark playing carefully until said shark moved away, showing he needed to go.

"See you later big boy!" You waved as the shark turned around and swam away.

Trollex swam besides you. "Remember what we talked about. Sharks grow up faster than we do. And the fact that this one knows where we live is not good. I'll tell the ninjas and guards to handle him."

"You mean...they will kill him?" You gasped, looking up at your father in horror.

"No my baby, They will just make sure he can't find the way back to our home." Trollex soothed, calming you down.

You nodded while looking at the distance sadly. You might never be able to see him again but as your father said, this is for the best. You don't want anyone to get hurt or eaten by him when he is grown up.

That only meant that You'd just have to visit him in secret again, no one would have to know...
