The next day she got up early, grabbed her bag she packed, and headed to the aquarium. She left a note, for her parents, saying she would be back for supper. When she arrived at the aquarium the fresh smell of lavender and salt full her lungs. Standing there waiting for her was Landen. He waved to her. She waved back to him while walking over and saying hi.

" Glad you could make it and do we have a surprise of you," Landen said smiling with his killer smile again.

" Me too and what is this surprise?" Jenessa asked giving him a silly look.

" Follow me and find out," he said turning around and walking away. Laughing, she picked up her walking pace in order to catch up to Landen. After a little silence Jenessa said,

" So you nervous for college?"

" Yeah a little bit, but I try not to think about it," Landen said half smiling

" Sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up if you were trying to forget about it," Jenessa said.

" It's okay," Landen said looking at her with a smile. It fell silent again then Landen said,

" Close your eyes."

" Why?" she asked. She hated walking with her eyes closed.

" Because its time for you to find out your surprise," he said smiling.

As she walked soon the smell of lavender and salt went away and it smelled like fish.

" Gross, I hate the smell of fish," she said laughing and coughing. She when up steps and when she reached the top Landen said,

" Okay you can open your eyes now." When Jenessa opened her eyes she saw a sign that said,

" Welcome Jenessa." Jenessa was slightly confused.

" Okay what joke are you playing on me. Just because a whale listens to me doesn't mean that I am apart of this place," Jenessa said.

" You are now," said Landen laughing.

" What do you mean by that?" Jenessa asked with a strange look.

" Until you leave for college you can work here with Agent, if you accept the job," Landen said smiling.

" Wow! That is amazing, of course I will take the job," Jenessa said smiling and jumping for joy and almost falling.

" Be carful," he said grabbing her hand so she wouldn't fall, "looks like we might have to make that a rule," he said laughing.

After they went back and signed the papers Landen said," Okay what joke are you playing on me. Just because a whale listens to me doesn't mean that I am apart of this place," Jenessa said.

" You are now," said Landen laughing.

" What do you mean by that?" Jenessa asked with a strange look.

" Until you leave for college you can work here with Agent, if you accept the job," Landen said smiling.

" Wow! That is amazing, of course I will take the job," Jenessa said smiling and jumping for joy and almost falling.

" Be carful," he said grabbing her hand so she wouldn't fall, "looks like we might have to make that a rule," he said laughing.

After they went back and signed the papers Landen said,

" You better get changed I have got a lot to teach you before your first show tomorrow."

" Tomorrow!" she said in a shocked voice, " I do have a lot to learn." So she left and went to get change. When she was done changing into her wet suit they headed out to the tanks Agent was in.

When they reached the tanks Agent was overjoyed to see Jenessa. He had missed her. He could sense that she missed him to. Jenessa jumped into the water and motion Landen to jump in to, but Landen shook his head no. He didn't trust Agent like Jenessa did. Agent sense that Landen didn't trust him, but Agent was plotting something to get him in the water.

After awhile of training they took a break. Jenessa swam over to the wall of the tanks where Landen was standing.

"  Why don't you get in the water?" she asked, " Agent will not hurt you. I think he likes you too."

" Like I said I don't trust him," he said half annoyed.

" Will you stick your feet in the water?" she asked giving him the puppy eyes

" No," he said laughing.

" Please," she begged him.

" Fine," Landen said. A smile light up Jenessa face. She turn to Agent and said laughing,

" We got him to crack."

" Sure you d-," but before he could finish Agent had knocked him into the water and started splashing him.

" Told you he liked you," she said laughing. After Agent stop splashing him, she saw that he wasn't there but then saw him staring to swim up. So she grabbed Agent's fin and they went under the water. All three of them swam around until they ran out of breath than came to the surface. When they reached the surface Jenessa asked what time it was.

" 5 o'clock," said Landen, " Why?"

" Crap, I have to go home. I told my parents I would be home for supper," said Jenessa while swimming over to the ladder.

" Oh well see you tomorrow," said Landen.

" See ya," Jenessa said smiling and giving Agent a fish.
