**Inside Color**

You’d be surprised at what you could find under the water along an Ocean Shore. From giant squids to small plankton..

“No please! Just leave me alone!” Squealed a small plankton.

“I’ve hoped you’ve realized that you cant escape.” Said a mean sponge named Spongeicus. He attempted to eat the small plankton, but he got away as far as he could. Just not far enough. The large sponge managed to leave a large cut on his arm. The small plankton felt the pain but ran away as fast as he could anyway.



A very lonely Tortis was swimming through algae calmly. As usual, the Tortis would talk to the algae, Algae would talk back, not really caring if Tortis was there or not.

Around lunch time, Seagull was searching for food along the shore line. When Seagull saw something squirm, she dove down. The closer she got, she started to notice it was a worm. Once Sally had caught the worm in her beak, she heard the worm squeal.

“You aren’t going to want to do this!” It said “It’ll hurt!” Sure, Sally thought.

“Thanks again!”Algae said. “No problem! Actually I should be thanking you!” Coral said.

“Well, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have shelter!” Algae exclaimed.

“Yes but you give me food!” Coral replied.

As plankton ran from yet another fight with Spongecus, his thoughts ran with him. He got so distracted, he didn’t realize there was a Tortis in front of him.

“Ouch!” Tortis whined.

“Sorry!” Plankton said. “I was running away from a sponge.”

“Its okay, I guess.” Tortis whimpered.

“Is everything okay?” Plankton asked.

“No, I don’t really have any friends.” Tortis replied.

“Well I heard there’s some sort of color party today, maybe you’d want to come?” Plankton exclaimed.

“Okay.” Tortis replied.

“ Do you mind if we come?” Coral and Algae asked. Plankton hadn’t realized they were there, but said they could come anyway.

The four friends arrived at the party, people were already dancing. They noticed all the colorful people there. Coral, with his rainbow joined the party along with his best friend Algae who had bright lime green. Suddenly, Plankton noticed that Tortis felt left out and Plankton realized he did too. They both decided to leave, and walked away from the party.

As the two were walking along a road, they came across an old crab.

”Why suck the glum faces?” The old crab questioned. They told him of about the party, and how they lacked color, and always felt left out. ”I see, now. How ‘bout I give you some boots that are full of color!” He exclaimed.

“YES!” They both yelled. The old crab then gave them the boots.Once they had the boots on, the old crab told them that they cannot stop moving or else. They were to excited they almost didn’t hear him at all.

Once they arrived back at the party, they danced and soon became tired. They sat and soon rainbow fish came near them from the pond. They were angry because they could tell that the boots they were wearing, were made of their own families scales. They tore the boots off. They became embarrassed and left. They walked to the shoreline. They saw Seagull and listened to what she was saying. She explained that the worm she ate wouldn’t allow her to eat and she was starving. They told her to drink water to drown the worm and she did. They became friends, the three of them, and to protect each other form their bullies.
