CHAPTER 5

Something Out There

“Nice view?” Renata looked at Livingston. “You really don’t think this is weird? We were making a pretend submarine. How can a refrigerator box travel underwater?”

“How do I know? It’s not like this has ever happened to me before, either. But I say we should just go with it.”

“But this isn’t logical,” Renata protested. “It doesn’t make sense.”

“Who cares if it’s logical? It’s fun! Look outside, Wolfie. It’s amazing.”

Renata leaned toward the porthole and together they gazed out. “Hey,” she said, “a clown fish!”

She and Livingston watched as the orange- and white-striped fish darted back and forth. “It’s so beautiful,” said Renata. “They live among poisonous sea anemones. The poison doesn’t affect them. Isn’t that cool?”

“This is such a special moment,” Livingston said. “I feel a song coming on.”

“Please don’t, Fly.”

But he was already strumming his guitar.

I think the ocean is really swell

Even if no one can hear you yell.

This is the place where lobsters dwell,

And what they’re thinking,

I sure can’t tell…

“Uh, that’s great, Fly, really,” Renata said. “But maybe you should go easy on our oxygen supply.”

“True. How about we have a snack? Ocean travel makes me hungry.” He picked up the lunch box and opened it. “Cookie?”

“No thanks.”

Livingston took a bite. “Are you sure?” he mumbled. “It’s good.”

“All right, then. Pass me one.”

Livingston took out the other cookie and held it like a Frisbee. He threw it toward her and she just managed to catch it. Renata took a bite. Livingston was right, exploring the ocean did make a person hungry. Just then something bonked her on the head.
