The Rare Journey

another story out of the vault--just for you! from 2005. i seriously dont know why i wrote this one. haaha but here it is:

The Rare Journey.

One normal day at the academy where I was learning to be a scuba-diver, I would put my knowledge to the test! That day was Wednesday; I was just getting out of class when I heard a girl shout out “Maria!”

It was my friend Callie. When she finally caught up with me she said “So did you see old Professor Morgan’s bulletin board?”

“No”

“Well, you, Sam, and I are going on a once-in –a –lifetime journey to pirate Longnails underwater grotto to look for rare species of fish! We’ll actually get to use our knowledge!”

“Really! That’s so cool. When is it?”

“Two weeks from now. I talked to him after class and he said it will probably be a week long.”

. . . . .

“Is everyone ready?” Professor Morgan said as they were getting on the ship.

As we were speeding along we noted all kinds of marine animals that swam along with the boat that were longing to play. “Now I can see why so many people are drawn to the seashore, it’s so beautiful! I can see right through the aqua-marine colored water with the foaming suds from the crashing waves to the ocean floor’s beauty!” I said.

“You’re right Maria, but it’s even more ravishing down in that floor of wonders!” Professor Morgan said with wonder in his eyes.

Splash! When we got in the water we headed out in search for Pirate Longnails underwater cavern. When we got there we swam around for about twenty minutes when Sam shouted out I found a Betta White! We recorded it and it wasn’t long until we found a Pink Dart goby.

After finding other rare species of fish we swam back up to where the boat was waiting for us. On the boat we put more air in our scuba tanks, ate lunch, and then got ready to dive again.

After we got back to the grotto we found other kinds and noted them down on our waterproof clipboards a Spikefin goby, a small school of Trimma, some Pearl Dace, a Quillback, a few Unicorn Crestfish, several Ribbon fish, and other rare fish.

Later after that week, and we were back we were asked so many questions about our rare journey to Longnails cave. We gladly answered these, but we knew that the important thing was that we got out there in the middle of the Indian Ocean and went in search of the famous Longnails cavern to look for some of the most endangered fish in the world and get to study them. That’s what will always stick with us NOT the popularity or fame.

That was our rare journey into the ocean!

THE END!!
