"Hurry up, Sammy!" I yelled, "I can't keep this bubble up forever!" I brushed my sandy-black hair out of my face as Emily swam into the bubble and turned back to human form. "Luke, your dad's out there. He almost recognized me. We need to hurry and finish before he finds the bubble." She blurted out. Sammy's twin, Jason, lit up his hand to fuse Festus's panel back on, "Come on, Em, he won't be here that soon. I programmed a message to call his phone if he comes too close to the bubble. He'll rush back to the surface if he hears about a sea serpent attacking innocent mortal ships." Jason sighed, "I couldn't get a real one from Eurytion in time. That would've been epic." "You got issues" My older sister Selena sighed as she closed her laptop. "Mom says you are worse than your dad ever was." Sammy slid into the pilot's niche as he admitted, "Well, our dad was a little busy doing stuff like saving the world, so he wasn't able to do anything of this magnitude. Now, are we going to dive-bomb Brooklyn or not?" All five of us climbed onto Festus's back as I started lifting the bubble. As we rose, I felt arms wrap around my waist, disrupting my focus. I looked back and saw Emily blush and start to stutter an apology as she withdrew her arms, but I grabbed her hands, and smiled at her. I knew this stunt would impress her. even if we got in trouble, it'd be worth it. For her, I would get into any amount of trouble. As we broke out the water, I yelled, "First stop Brooklyn. Let's make those Red Sox pay!"
