The sun shone down on the river intensely, the water glimmering under its powerful rays. Insect flew around peacefully, frogs swam through the river, and fish played in the water happily. Far away, a couple of pink dolphins jumped up and down carelessly. One of them jumped up high and while in the air emitted a loud cry. The other dolphin imitated tem and both of them continued swimming. Suddenly, a wave began forming at the farthest end of the river. It grew and grew, and animals went into panic, all except the dolphins. Frogs jumped onto the trees, birds flew the other way, crickets chirped like crazy, and fish tried desperately to beat the wave. When it finally reached the two dolphins, they stood still and let the wave crash through their strong bodies. When it did, both of them fell into nothingness. They fell for about thirty seconds and then they reached the bottom of the river. However, this bottom of the river was not like any of the ones people usually imagine. There was a strip of seaweeds creating what looked like a street right under the two dolphins. To their sides there were tall formations of rock, with little wholes at regular intervals, through which some dolphins could be seen coming in and out. At some places, the rocks had starfish lined in symbols on top of or next to big wholes, and at these there where a lot of dolphins going in and out, some with jelly fish filled with fish. The dolphins nodded at each other, and then split, one moving straight and the other going to the left. The one with the strongest pink shade swam for about seven minutes before reaching a fork in the seaweed street, and then took the left street. At the far end there was a dead end, and some more rock with more starfish symbols on top of a big whole. The dolphin deftly maneuvered its way into the building, and kept on going onto a tree trunk desk. “Hello. I’m here to talk to the governor,” said the dolphin with a strong thick voice. “Oh yes one second please, Slate” said the dolphin behind the desk picking up a shell and putting it up to her ear. After some time of aha-ing and nodding she told him to go in. Slate swam steadily through a corridor with many doors, until he reached a big one at the far right. He banged the door with his long nose, and went inside. “Hello sir,” greeted Slate politely. “How do you do?” “Oh just fine Slate. What do you have for me?”Answered the stern dolphin. “Well sir, we found out, with Rufus, that there is a party to celebrate a big birthday tonight in the Ticuno community of Santa Rita. I was thinking about going there tonight and capture one girl, and bring her straight here. Then we can put her in the human jail.” “Slate, you are just brilliant. Do so.” With that he turned back to some large leaves filled with symbols. “Thank you sir, I will see you tonight.” Slate said, and then he left through the door and back out to the street. He made a couple of turns and then reached a small whole. When he went in he saw Rufus sitting on the couch reading some leaves. “Hey we have to go, our job is on” He said with a tug on Rufus’ fin. “Oh yeah, lets go” Rufus answered, a wide grin spreading across his face. They both moved toward a closet where they extracted two drench coats and two hats. They slipped the coats on, fixing them so the bump on their back would not be seen and then put the hat on, covering the breathing whole. Then, they walked to another closet, which they opened eagerly. Inside there was nothing, just a big empty space that continued rising. Rufus got in and began swimming up, and Slate followed suit happily. On the surface of the river, the sun was setting, a magical pink haze hung over the river. In the distance music and shouting could be heard. The two dolphins erupted into the surface disturbing the calm water, and began laughing with their high cries, following the sound. They reached a place in the land that seemed to be lit up, and then they came out of the water and expertly fixed their disguises. “Lets meet right here in thirty minutes, each with a girl,” commanded Slate, his voice impatient. “All right,” replied Rufus, the eagerness sounding in his voice too. Both walked through some trees and reached a big clearing that was lit up by torches. In the center four people were shouting happily and playing music, while around them the rest of the people danced or talked to each other. Each dolphin went its own way, and began observing every girl that passed by. After about thirty minutes, Slate went close to a girl who could not have been older than twenty, her dark skin and green eyes shining under the night and the fire. He inched his way until he was standing behind her and began pushing her away from the crowd. Startled she looked back, and saw a man with a hat, so she decided to let herself be taken away. At the other end of the party, Rufus was doing the same, the girl with the violet eyes and pale skin delighted at having a suitor. They both met newt to the river, and with a gleeful laugh looked up at their catch. The girls emitted loud cries of anguish, they had heard the story and they knew what was coming. The dolphins, ignorant to the sad mood, winked at each other, grabbed the girls and jumped back into the mighty river. The girls were gone, forever.
