It  was  a  normal  day  in  Spongy  Reef.  The  water  was  calm,  no  
preditors  were  in  site.  Ray,  Clippers,  Shell,  Dolph,  Finns,  Pus,  
and  Gills  were  all  just  lying  around,  doing  nothing.
    Ray  is sort of the leader of  the  group.  Shell  is  Ray’s  hard 
shelled  roommate.  Dolph  is  the  really  active  dolphin.  Gills  is  the  
very  shy  fish.  Finns  is  the  toughest  of  them,  who  happens  to  be  
a  shark.  Pus  is  the  very  insisting  octipus.  Clippers  is  the  cool  
crab.
    All  of  a  sudden  their  mailman,  Joey,  pulls  up  in  his  minisub.  
I  have  a  letter  for  Ray  Onidrill,  he  said.
    What  is  it?  asked  Ray.
    It  looks  like  some  kind  of  brochure  for  an  aquarium.  All  I  
can  see  are  the  words  opening  soon.
    Just  one  thing,  if  there’s  an  aquarium  opening,  then  they’re  
going  to  need  sea  creatures and...  AAAAAHHHH!!!  screamed  Ray!
Five  Minutes  Later:
    What  were  we  talkin’  about?  asked  Clippers.
    I  forgot,  replyed Dolph.

                                        THE MACHINE

    The  crew  was  sitting  back  enjoying  the  sunbeams  (as  they  were 
doing  before),  when  all  of  a  sudden,  Puffen  comes  crashing  through  
the  water.  What  the  heck,  yelled  Pus.
    It- - it’s  coming!  staggered Puffen.
    What’s coming,  asked  Ray.
    Th-th-the- - - - IT!
    THE WHAT? screamed Ray.
    The machine,  he  said, scared.
    The who?  The  what?  The where?  they  all  asked.
    A  horrible  machine  that  clears  the  sea  and  it’s coming straight 
 for  us!  he  said,  now  more  afraid  than ever.
    This  machine,  what  does  it  look  like?
    It  looks  robotic,  but  it  might  be  manned.  It  has  fans  on  it, 
 almost  like  balene.  It  also  had  robotic  arms.  And  it   had  the   
words  ‘Aquatairium’  on  it.
    Aquatairium,  Aquatairium. . . . . . I  got  it!  Gills,  go  get  me  
that  brochure  that  I  got  a  couple  of  weeks  ago.
    Here  you  go,  said Gills.
    Aquatairium;  Waters  of  the  World.  Just  as  I  thought.  This  
machine  is  from  that  new  aquarium  that  just  opened.

                                        The Plan

    There  was  a  very  slight  vibration  in  the  water.  It’s  getting  
closer,  Puffen  thought.
    Okay.  Here’s  what  we   need  to  do . . . . . . . . Puffen!  Get  
over  here!  We  need  your  help!  Ray  called  to  Puffen.
    All  right. . . . . . he  very  quietly  replied.
    Okay,  first  of  all  we  need  to  distract  whoever,  or  whatever,  
is  controlling  that  machine.  Dolph!  You’re  the  fastest.  You  can  
take  that  role.
    Yeah,  baby!  said  a   happy   Dolph.
    Next  we  need  someone  to  disable  the  arms.
    I  volunteer,  said  Pus.  Who  knows  how   many controlls  there  
are,   but   I’ve  got  the  arms  to  handle  it!
    That’s  the  spirit!  Now,  the  rest  of  us  need  to  take  care  of 
 this  sea  sweeper  for  good.
                          

                                    Chapter  Four
                                          The Battle

    The  water  was  getting  rougher.  Now  they  were  practically  
shaking.  Just  a  little  bit  longer,  Ray  had  to yell  at  the  top  
of  his  lungs.
    Then,  just  over  the  ridge  was  the  top  of  the  sea  sweeper.  It  
had  about  ten  different  mechanical  arms,  a laser  tracking  system,  a 
huge  supersonic  vacume  system,  an  electro stun  gun,  and  two  long  
balene  like  fans  that  caught  everything  that  was  missed  by  the 
other  systems.
    All  they  could  do  was  stand  there  in  awe.  Ray  was  able  to  
break  himself  away.  Dolph!  Com’on!  commanded   Ray. 
    Yeah,  right-t-t-t,  studdered   Dolph.
    Everybody!   Com’on!   Let’s  Go!
    The  sea  sweeper  suddenly  stopped.  A  laser  beam  seemed  to  come  
from  nowhere  and  moved  down  to  them.  Dolph  zipped  around  as  fast  
as  he  could.  He  was  just  about  to crack  the  lense  of  the  laser  
when  one  of  the  arms  darted  in  front  of  him.
    The  arm  grabbed  him  and  threw  him  with  tremendous  force.  He  
hit  the  bedrock  and  passed  out.  The  vacume  aimed  toward  him  and  
pulled  him  in  within  a  matter  of  seconds. This  can’t  be   good,  
noted  Ray.
    The  machine’s  eye  turned  toward  them  and  said  in  a  bubbly,  
robotic  voice, Surrender  now  or  be  taken  by  force.
    Release  Dolph!  yelled  out  Pus.
    Never,  replied  the  machine.
    I  SAID  RELEASE  HIM,!  he  screamed.
    There  is  no  use  trying  to  stop  me.
    The  electro  gun  pointed  straight  towards  the  surface,   shot  out  
a  huge  stream  of  blue  lightning  that  burst  through  the  water,  
detonated  in  the  atmosphere, which  then  created  a  huge  blackout  in  
all  surrounding  cities.
    Very  impressive  mister  laser  thing  beam-a-thingy!! yelled  Pus.
    Really  nice  comeback,  said  Shell, sarcasticly.
    I’m  out’a  here,  Gills  said  briefly.
    Wait  just  a  second,  yelled Puss, grabbing  him  with  his  suction 
cups.  If  you  run  away  that  machine  will find  you.  There’s  no  
reason  to  be   a  chicken.
    Well. . . . I  guess you’re  right.
    You  will not  escape,  said  the  robot.  The  vacume  slowly  turned 
 until it  was  on  full blast.  The  power  of  the  vacume  was  like  
being  pulled  by  a  boa  constricter.
    Shell  yelled out, The pull is  too much,  before   getting pulled  in.
    With  that  distraction  Ray  swam  into  the  control  room  of  the  
robot.  This  must  be  the  off  switch,  said  Ray.  He  flipped  the  
switch.  The  electro  gun  fired  and  detonated  right  by  everyone.
    Oops, hua, hua, how  ‘bout  this  one,  stuttered  Ray.  The  vacume  
sucked  them  all  in.  Man!  Doesn’t  this  thing  have  an  instruction  
book  or  something.  With  that  he  slammed   down  on  the  controls.  He 
 accidently  hit  the  vacume  button,  which  made  it  point  toward  Ray.  
Why!  Why!  Why!  he   screamed,   once  again  slamming  his  face  on  
the  controls.  This  turned  on  the  vacume.  This   isn’t  good,. . .  
The  vacume  sucked  him  in  like  a  girble  in   a  vent  pipe.

                                        THE  TRUTH
    When  they  woke  up  they  were  all  in  a  glass  aquairium  in  the  
back  of  some  building.Wa-wa-where  are  we?  Asked  Pus  in  a  
just-woke-up-in-the-morning  voice.
    They  were  in  some  back  room  where  they  keeped  all  their  boxs,  
brooms,  and  other  things  like  that.  Ray  could  see  through  a  little 
 crack  through  the  door.  He  saw  someone  apling  for  a  job.  He  
heared  her  say  Hi.  I  called  earlyer.  I’m  aplying  for,  
 What  the  wip  trainer,  Ray  thought  to  himself.
    I’m  aplying  for  the  job  as  the,  HORRIBLE  MONSTER!!
    AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!  Ray  screamed  as  a  monster  
ran  tward  him!  He  jumped  up,  and  found  him  self,  under  his  
covers,  with  his  alarm  clock  going  off.
