Dasani's Nightmare

[Dasani]

Dasani woke up in a cold sweat. The nightmare returned again last night.
"Whale dung!" she muttered to herself. "Why can't I remember?"
She rolled over in her nest and tried to go back to sleep but to no avail. She thought about what the nightmare could be. Was it about this so-called evil force Aquafin told her about? Dasani had never seen this before so how could it be true? Maybe it was just a bad fish she ate.
Yeah, that must be it! Dasani thought to herself.

[Rain]

Rain heard the newest member of Ocean Band roll over and curse to herself. What in the name of Polar Band was going on? She crept to the chicks' igloo and peered inside.
"Dasani?" she called. "Is everything okay?"
If Dasani had a nightmare, Rain needed to know about it and fast. What if it had to do with the evil force? Rain shuttered as she remembered her latest dream about the dark force. She shook her head and concenrated on the she-guin.
"Dasani?" the leader tried again.

[Dasani]

Dasani woke up to hear her leader's voice calling her. She sat up and looked around. Something flashed through her mind again before she could respond. The chick pictured a dolphin racing through the ocean. She blinked and stared at Rain. Flipper? "Who's Flipper?" she whispered to herself. Rain certainly wasn't Flipper but who could it be? The dolphin perhaps? She tried to piece the thoughts together but they kept slipping away like a slippery salmon. Maybe the dolphin named Flipper was in trouble! Was she caught in a fish net or something? Could Flipper be in a hole or maybe she was okay and just eating dinner? I have to remember, she thought. Maybe she was my friend. She laughed and shook the thought away for now. "I'm fine," she mumbled shakily to her leader.

[Rain]

Rain stumbled into the chicks' den and looked around. Dasani was in there alright and by the looks of it, she wasn't happy. "Who's Flipper?" the Ocean Band chick whispered. "I have no idea what you're talking about," Rain answered. "And there's no way you're fine." She instantly felt guilty for snapping back at Dasani but clearly the chick wasn't fine. She rolled her eyes and took a seat next to Dasani. "Listen," she said quietly. "Everything's okay and if you want to take a walk with me and talk about it, let me know." She pushed down on Dasani's nest with her flippers and stood back up. It was weird having two chicks in the chicks' den but without parents. Rain sighed and started to waddle out of the den.
