A Fin-tastic Finish - Davy Ocean
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad! Get your fin-pit OUT OF MY FACE!!!!!!!
I’m trying to see past my dad’s stinky fin-pit down into the Olimpet Stadium, where the final race of the Underwater Olimpets is about to take place. And where Turbo Tex, the fastest shark in the ocean, is about to try to win his fifth gold medal of the games!
I squeeze my hammer head under Dad’s pit so I can look down into the massive whalebone-and-coral arena.
All of Shark Point is here. The arena is filled with color and noise. Some of the sharkletes are limbering up by the track but one is missing. Yes! I haven’t missed Tex’s entrance.
Harry!
Dad squirms as I push past him. Y-y-your dorsal is tickling me!
Dad—Hugo Hammer, or Mayor Hugo Hammer, as he’s known to the rest of Shark Point—starts giggling and twisting. He bumps into my mom and the huge box of Weedpops she’s bought for me goes flying up above our heads. Me, Ralph (my pilot-fish pal), and Joe (my jellyfish friend) watch, openmouthed, as it gets caught in the currents caused by the crowd and floats away.
I was really looking forward to picking those out from between your teeth!
Ralph whines. (Ralph’s a pilot fish, which means he eats his food from out of sharks’ mouths. My mouth in particular.)
I shush Ralph with my fin and try to spot my new hero.
I still like my old hero, Gregor the Gnasher, but he’s retired from wrestling and making films and gone to work as an ambassador for the UN (the Underwater Nations). So he’s hardly on jelly-fishion anymore—only the news. And who watches the news?
But since the Olimpets started and tiger shark Turbo Tex came along, I haven’t really cared. Tex is great because . . .
1. Tiger sharks are fast and totally scary. Their stripes make them super camouflaged in the water, so they’re the best hunters.
2. Turbo Tex is the fastest, scariest, and strongest of the group. The best sharklete in the whole ocean. Scarier than a mom who’s just found out you’ve shoved everything under your bed instead of cleaning ‘properly.’ Yes. THAT scary.
3. Tex does the TIGER TURBO (more on this in a minute and you’ll see exactly how cool it is).
4. He’s so fast he’s already won the 100 and 800 fathoms in these Olimpet Games. Probably because he doesn’t have a goofy hammery head to slow him down like me.
Basically, Turbo Tex is so cool you could use him to make icebergs.
The crowd goes wild as the announcer clears his throat loudly and starts speaking.
And now, in lane six, the winner of gold medals in the 100 and 800 fathoms, the gold medalist and new world-record holder in the long dive and triple pike, it’s the one, the only, the very stripy Turbo Tex!
I stretch my hammer head as far as it will go to see Tex coming down the tunnel onto the swimming track. He’s being pulled on a huge clamshell by three dolphin girls. He waves to the crowd, then, with a wink, he swims off the shell. He’s going to throw his signature move—THE TIGER TURBO! (See number 4 in my list.)
BOOOOM! Tex disappears in an explosion of bubbles as he begins to barrel roll like an out-of-control washing machine. He spins on the spot with precision power as a white whirlpool of water builds around him, then—wowsers! The bubbles from the whirlpool come together to form a giant T. Tex stops dead in front of it
