Ok....what should we try now.......Best tank pics?????....
Maybe........
A game called Build a story.
The way build a story works is that a person in any particular order adds 10 words to a continuing story. How it ends up is how it ends up. So if you were writing a 10 word part and someone else plunked in their 10 words the story just has to deal with it. As the story goes along each person adding the words has to try to bring it either back or swing it out further into no man's land.
At the end of the tale, which can be determined by time, we all agree upon who had the best moments in the tale and who either swung it out into no where or brought it back the best. No more or less than 10 words. It can be fish related or just about anything.
I like that idea Frank, sounds like fun. Who would start it? I think it should be fish related.
Barb
Aha....fish flights of fancy. ;D
LOL.....this could get very interesting.....HMmmmm...gotta use 10 words?....only?

The fish in that tank are all very aggressive species. ;D

A fish, that he is, all stout, and very territorial....
He went swimming to the sand bar to meet dames.
Found himself a place to blow bubbles from both ends.
The stink emptied the place in about ten seconds flat.
But wait...do we hear the ''tick, tick, tick'' again?
He's the first one back, still looking for some dames,
Under his gruff demeanor, he was just a kind soul.
The kind of sole you didn't want to bring home.

Yes, he was well known for 'floundering' around the town.
And he'd perch upon his favorite bench observing the crowds.
His real name was Theosopolosous, he was known as 'Ralph'
One day Ralph decided to swim to a new location.
Quote from: Barb on June 27, 2013, 07:45:33 AM
One day Ralph decided to swim to a new location.
And he decided, what better place than Mugwump's Fish World.
Where He clicked upon a thread and himself mentioned.....AHEM!!!!!! ;D

Where He clicked upon a thread and himself mentioned.....AHEM!!!!!! ;D
He thought, what a really great place this must be..... ;D
He decided other places were kind of "crappie" , comparatively speaking.
He soon found a lovely lady fish to hang with.
As the days got longer, they would hang out longer.
Her name was Lola Lamprologus, a very comely maiden fish.
And a lovely lady she was perfect fins and shape
Josh
, not to mention her long and flowing eyelash fins...Wow!
No way Ralph was going to let her get away...
But alas, she ran off with a sturgeon from Kalamazoo!
Dennis
Determined to win her back, Ralph headed to Kalamazoo where...
... he thought it would be best to join medical school.
Dennis
Where Elvis Fishley was doing well in a local hotel.
Ralph's guitar playing skills got him in a band there...
And he soon found out she knew the band members.
And she fell particularly hard for a handsome banded pipefish.
one night being very drunk Ralph decide to call Lola.

Dennis
back further than that, Dennis...."Damn Yankees"...Gwen Verdon 'What ever Lola wants' (Lola gets)
Upon further review, Lola was a female impersonator male fish.
So Ralph, unknowingly, approaches the area know as 'The Darkside'....
and meets lionfish named Lola from the movie Shark Tale
said on Seinfeld," Not that theres anything wrong with that."
So off they went to have some dinner, alone, together...
Ralph had quickly forgot about his loneliness, and smiled broadly....
To fit in, Ralph wore his finest checkered speedo briefs
Lola wore nothing but a smile and a feathered hat
Ralph has taken up photography, reflecting on his Lola's beauty
He shot a pic reflecting in the tank glass together.... :o
Lola revealed that her, ahem, his name was really Raynaldo.
That should be neutral enough, no?
Raynaldo Redfish, one of the famous Redfish brothers from Vegas.
Ralph, Reynaldo and the Vegas Bros. planned a diamond heist.
During the diamond heist the Vegas Bros. Double crossed Ralph!
Reynaldo was really a woman playing a man playing woman.
Now "her" sister is arriving from Africa with big news.
Ralph has the diamonds and they are all after him.
The sister and Ralph hop a flight to Malawi, Africa.
Not an easy feat...hopping with fins is not easy!
Arriving in Africa, they rented a car, off to Malawi..
Lola's Mom, Clownfish, Dad, Wrasse, both change sexes at maturity.
In Africa Victoria went for a swim in Lake Malawi.
Then to Lake Tanganyika where rumor said diamonds are hidden.
Deep into the lake only a fish could find them.
So they took the plunge, then dove in the lake...
A huge eel was waiting, opened his toothy mouth wide...
and grabbed both fish, swallowing quickly, then swam deeply, fast.
Ralph remembered that he had his Swiss army knife with...
So he quickly cut a hole through the eels side.....
Upon escaping, they swim towards a tiny cove near by....
It was a paradise, just the place to call home....
But another fish was already there, and he wasn't welcoming.
Ralph attacked from the flank, surprising the brute, he left....
...the poor fellow, a bleeding mass by the rocky shoreline.
After a quiet restful night in their new cove, they....
Were suddenly awaken by the Vegas Bros. They've been followed!
But they morphed again, now the Vegas sisters, cha cha.
And now good old Ralph had a harem around him..
Every one of the girls wanted him for her own.
And each lady loved diamonds, but only one knew secrets.
The diamond tetras held the key to the underwater treasure.
Victoria's secrets, where you can get a coupon, free bloomies
Ralph decided that if this was to be their home...
They decided to stay, Ralph commenced to improve their surroundings
First up was a new canopy bed, room for all...
Only problem was, canopy bed was a giant snail shell
and the local folks liked to eat freshly caught snails.
So Ralph decided to move the bed to safer confines...
Deep beneath the kelp beds, they were safe from predators..
And they stationed an urchin on top of the canopy.
Unfortunately Ralph forgot that urchins poop, oooopsie poopsies dodgies poopsie.
But no worries, the poopsie slid harmlessly off the canopy
Doorbell rings, it's a girl scout selling cookies, Samoans please.
Seeing her there, Ralph asks her to join his harem ;D
Happily the new harem member shares her cookies with everyone.. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
unfortunately, Ralph had a allergic reaction too the Samoan cookies.
The girl scout ran away screaming all the way home.
Ralph, gasping noticeably, ate some kelp to stop the reaction...
After almost dying from anaphylactic shock, The harem ran off
with a frontosa named blue, they took the diamond too.
Ralph was back to square one thinking about Lola again.
Guitar in hand, Ralph headed for Memphis, to play blues..
Ralph arrived in Memphis exhausted after the long swim home.
He met an old friend, 'Big Blues' Tuna, a legend..
'Big Blues' offered a place to crash, and a gig...
There he played a new hipster version of tiny bubbles.
Just play'n the Blues again, helped make his troubles ease...
In the audience was Lola, more beautiful than last time.
Being a ghost, Lola was a vision of the 'blues'
Ralph immediately broke out his version of "Back Door Man"
And in from the back door came his older brother.
He has just returned from a trip to Tiajuana, Mexico.
"Hola mi hermano", he said when he was near Ralph.
Ralph, surprised to see his brother, said "Back atcha bro"
Si, Me bother he has had de leche de torro?
"Yes, bull's milk Ralph, makes a fish want to fight!"
In a rage, he searched for a Siamese fighting fish.
Momentarily he thought his shoe lace might be untied, duuuohhhh.
It was, he took it off then lassoed the Siamese...
and the two of them flew through the water together.
When Suddenly...and then....and then...and then..and then.....????
when suddenly, the Siamese pulled a knife and stabbed Ralph!
AHhhhh, screamed Ralph as he swam towards the nearby hospital....
The wounds where deep, Ralph was fighting for his life.
When his brother quickly arrived for a life saving transfusion
Ralph and his brother vowed revenge on the fighting fish.
Back to Memphis to locate the vile, sneaky little vermin...
lucky for Ralph, male Siamese fighting fish don't get along.
It wasn't that hard for Ralph to find the vermin.
He was in Chinatown employed by the evil Dr. Wang.
The evil Dr. Wang was a huge red belly piranha.
He controlled a huge underwater underground organization of convict cichlids,
and sergeant majors, his bodyguards. The piranha corporals controlled the....
....area where red devils and green terrors gangs were incarcerated.
Poor Ralph was in over his head, tough guys everywhere!
But alas! The kind hearted lionfish came to Ralph's rescue.
Ralph and "Lion" hatched a plan, they would head toward...
...the Vallisneria beds in the shallows and wait for them...
...with octopus friend who would squirt ink in their eyes.
and their new stingray friend with a sharp, barbed spine.
Ralph enlisted the services of Agent Wooo, the dogfaced puffer.
And woo's brother Woo FuuGuu, the fugu puffer Mr. Toxic.
At the convent they enlisted Nun Fu Yu, his sister.
It was an admirable group that set out for revenge
free sushi and any plum sake they could get near.
A royal piscine battle was about to take place here...
"Word" got out and a crowd was gathering to watch.
Their main concern was who would be served as sushi.
Most likely the one which had the most Hot Sake!!!!!
Not known by them is that Ralph's a Jedi Knight
Successful Jedi knights will follow the rules of the Force....
Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try
The trap set, now to wait for the perfect time..
And all must learn Star Wars lingo to join fight.
So as the announcer says "Let's get ready to Rumbleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
But first, A sponsor message from "Loosener's Castor oil flakes"
Oh, it ain't no use If you ain't got the boost The boost you get from Loostners (Loo-ooo-oosnters)
We will now return to our regularly scheduled program folks.
Ralph says to fight without hate to avoid the Darkside.
Ralph can feel the power of the Darkside calling him.
Ralph has hate for the fighting fish that stabbed him.
It sounds like trouble is brewing with the fish gang.
A calm fish is needed to settle things down now.
The Art of War...all warfare is based on deception.
Ralph needs a clear head to proceed with the battle.
Ralph was meditating before battle, when he had an epiphany...
Just as they are about to rumble the Sharks arrive.
They are all wearing white Keds and black bow ties.
30 of them pile out of the old Edsel Ranger.
They look like the Chippendales of butt kicking, laughs Ralph.
There's one big guy who looks to be in charge.
He has teeth like an alligator, scales like a dinosaur.
Ralph wonders how they will perform wearing Pink Jimmy Choo's.
No worries, they decided on Ninja outfits for the battle
Warrior outfits will be custom made to fit over fins.
Unbeknownst to the warriorrs, a storm was brewing, much rain...
In Memphis, the mighty Mississippi River was flooding, fish were...
..everywhere, but just the Friar Wump appeared with Maid Martha...
The good friar had an ark equipped to save them ....
They all boarded the ark and sailed away from danger.
Just as Ralph was thinking that his troubles were over.
The Friar Wump caught Ralph and Maid Martha spawning together.
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.....oh brother.......... 8)
As the ark floated downriver, the fish gang got friendly.
Fighting thoughts gone, they planned their next watery adventure together.
The happy fish made plans to visit a water park .
They chose one where they could make a big splash.
They all were now forever known as the 'pod' squad.
Ark and Pod Squad came ashore at the Big Easy.
Started looking for a place to have their fun begin.
New Orleans should offer plenty of fishy delights to discover.
Live blues and jazz, the French Quarter and Bourbon Street....
Beignets, espresso, bbq crawfish, oysters on the half shell...delightful!
And a whole lotta backyard ponds for them to find.
The Pod squad found a big pond to call home.
They befriended Arnie The alligator, who helped protect the pond.
but alas there was no one else to play with.
Quote from: P4Angels on July 04, 2013, 02:56:13 PM
but alas there was no one to play with.
Ah Ah Aron.....10 words. no more. no less.....ok
Just As Ralph was settling into his new quiet life...
...there was a huge splash in the pond and there...
A mermaid named Esmerelda, a sight to behold, absolutely gorgeous...
Reminded me of one of Jon's angelfish i once saw.
Ralph gingerly swam over to Esmerelda confirming she wasn't Lola.
He fell heads over heels for her, she was stunning.
He thought to himself, "What a fantastic pair of flippers"
Lovely Esmerelda had an idea for the new fish gang.
Esmeralda was a singer...she needed them as her band.
She was sure they'd cooperate when she flashed her flippers.
Quote from: PaulineMi on July 05, 2013, 11:18:18 AM
She was sure they'd cooperate when she flashed her flippers.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL....They flippers each had tattoo that said. 'welcome home boys'
She performed in a large pond in the French Quarter.
She was VERY well known there, with many aquatic admirers.
Suddenly there was a loud boom and dark smoke everywhere,
Someone had eaten a habanero burrito earlier in the day.
This is dangerous underwater especially in a candle lit club.
the club had imploded and it pined Ralph under rubble.
Ralph could see around and found Esmerelda, she wasn't moving.
Ralph woke up from what was just a bad dream.
The band played on while Esmeralda sang "Oh Happy Day"
In the pond audience was a long haired white cat.
The cat was hungry and loved to eat fresh fish.
However, the group was safe as she only liked sardines... ;D
Poor Ralph was eating sardines for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
So, the white cat sat upon a rock and waited.
As Ralph walked past the white cat pounced on him.
In the cat's mouth Ralph struggled to breathe and live.
The cat headed for the woods nearby with her meal.
Out of nowhere, an eagle swooped down at the cat
Ralph remembering that he's a Jedi Knight used the force.
Esmeralda rushed to help Ralph get back to the water.
When safely back in the pond, they saw something different.
It was Esmeralda's twin sister whose name is Miranda Sue.
Now poor Ralph was really confused, who should he romance??
Ralph being the stud he is decided to romance both.
Each gal slapped his face in their own turn, hard.
Such a pig said Esmerelda, you're an animal and heathen.
Miranda Sue then quickly, loudly piped in, "Or a plumber!"
Realizing that he couldn't be a plumber, they loved him..... ;D
Overhearing a wise crack plumber almost pulled the pond plug.
Ralph and the girls talked him out of doing it.
Now it's time for some fishy fun in the pond.
Ralph and his two girlfriends wondered what they should do.
They decided to go to the 'weed beds' annual picnic..
There they happened to meet world famous chef Allen Repashy.
Dennis
Allen had chosen the picnic to showcase some new delights.
Dennis
All fish lined up to taste all the new dishes.
One in particular looked and smelled like something very strange.
Oh my!!!!! It was Lola, what was left of her.
Ralph screamed loudly while looking for Chef Repashy, for revenge.
After looking ever more closely, they found it wasn't Lola..
Soon they were happily partying, getting high on kelp wine
And stuffing themselves with saut?ed frog legs and steamed crawfish.
Dewey the Frog rolled his wheel chair to the buffet.
Dude, where's my legs? He said. Dude, legs....where....Dude?
One of Dewey's friends came over. Dude....where's your legs?
And then......and then....and then and then and theeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.................................nn..................n.......................................n..........................n...............n.........nn.......................
You are one group of cold blooded fish he said.
Dennis
and then he moved on to the caviar, and wine...
Papa Sturgeon arrived angry that caviar was on the menu.
But he ate it anyway, he was a caviar lover.... ;D
Ralph ate so much he started to feel like he...
Badly needed to do some extra swimming about the pond.
A little boy, a net, and a bucket appeared pondside.
Ralph was caught, and ended up in a fish tank.
At first Ralph thought this would be a bad thing.
Then he saw the tanks were all in a row
He had seen the cabin before, by the pond's edge
The window next to the last tank by the wall.....
...was open...could he, should he fare try to escape....?
Mustering up all his courage and strength, he set out....
jumping from one tank to the next, and next and.....??
...with a mighty surge, leap out of the last tank....
..and out the window....splash....he made it !!..the pond!!!!!!
Gasping and tired from his endeavor, he dove deep down...
He was free....and then spotted his friends welcoming him.....
Just as he swam up a Ugandan shrimp trawler gottem....
It was a mirage, no shrimp trawlers in this POND.... ;D
He quickly calmed down from the pts from the fishroom...
Ralph's fishy friends were amazed at his escape from captivity.
At the bottom of the pond lurked a huge turtle...
The turtle's name was 'Mort'...a good friend to all
Mort was a snapping turtle and had lots of stories.
He told of the pirates and swashbucklers of olden days...
Since he was very old, he remembered traveling all over.
He was even in Gal?pagos when that chap Darwin visited.
Dennis
He remembered meeting the giant tortoises that lived on Galapagos.
Suddenly Turtleman Grabbed him and hoisted him from the water..
He held him up hootin and hollerin. Woooot woooot. TURTLEMAN!!!!!!
But after the fun was over, they went to party..... ;D
Turtleman will always puts the turtles back in the pond
Mort, back in the pond, saw Ralph swim by and...
told him, "My life has gotten boring and needs activity".
"Wanna help me find something wild and exciting to do?"
Quote from: Barb on July 11, 2013, 06:13:57 PM
told him, "My life has gotten boring and needs activity".
Do you mind if I party with one of your mermaids??
Mort gave Ralph a little blue pill and stepped away.
He then gave Ralph a Red Bull and Monster drink.
Mort began to count backwards, ten, nine, eight, and then....
A peculiar look came to Ralph's face, his lips blued.
A small puff of steam came from atop his head.
Papa Sturgeon was soon to find all fish like caviar!
Dennis
Ralph had a bone caught in his throat, and choked..
Esmerelda, thinking quickly, gave Ralph the 'hind-fin' maneuver clearing it...
Relieved, he paused over the buffet to get something else
The fresh oysters on the half shell looked particularly appealing.
Lo and behold Ralph found a pearl in his oyster.
The pearl was a large one, and Esmeralda wanted it.
She grabbed it with her flipper and swam off quickly.
Now the true character of each of the fish emerges.
Ralph, being a kind and generous soul, said "Goodbye Esmeralda ".
So, now Ralph has lost his pearl and his girl.
Heartbroken Ralph retired to his kelp bed, sad and lonely.
As he lingered in the kelp, there appeared something lovely...
She was orange, had pretty fins, and beautiful green eyes.
Ralph introduced himself, Her name was Zoe. She was beautiful.
Ralph and Zoe played in the kelp bed all day.
Ralph was thinking he finally found his one true love.
Then who would appear but none other than lovely Lola.
Ralph is back to square one, with two girlfriends again.
fortunately, Lola's a ghost...a free spirit to his soul...
Lola recommends that Ralph stick with beautiful Zoe. She's special.
Zoe is a stunner........ beautiful shape, flowing fins, pearly scales
Ralph is in awe of his beautiful angel. She's perfect.
There will be no babies though, Ralph's an aggressive cichlid,
and beautiful Zoe is a fancy goldfish from someone's aquarium!
Nature works in strange ways. Ralph and Zoe did spawn.
They had some of the ugliest fry one could imagine.
Ah, but like swans, they will up to be beautiful
All was bliss until Ralph discovered Zoe was a Kardashian!
But it didn't matter really to Ralph, she was his....
...even if she really did come from a Kardashian aquarium.
She was a little 'wide in the beam' ya know? ;D
He didn't even mind about her lurid Internet sex tapes...
But it was very difficult to avoid the annoying papparazzi.
Paparazzi was bad, Ralph decide they need to get away.
He moved everyone to the Amazon River basin where they
ended up in a small tributary of the mighty Amazon.
Ralph, Zoe and their friends, were hungry after the trip.
A huge Red Tailed Catfish saw them, opened his mouth...
and spit out a big worm from a nearby hook.....
He said...you all look hungry, have a little snack...
A large pink Gorilla ran into the water splashing about.
Turned out to be a 'flashback' to the nightclub mascot...... :o
It must have been a 'magic' worm...they all had visions...
Of a white rabbit just like in Alice in Wonderland.....
After their worm feast, and visions, they swam towards shore...
where a local fisherman in a dugout boat watched them.
And having his camera, he decided to film them all...
A world famous movie maker watched the fisherman with interest.
The movie maker watched the fisherman, the fisherman watched fish.
The fish watched a worm dangling on a sharp hook.
An Anaconda came into view, grabbed the fisherman and submerged.
Movie maker had his camera running, all fish were terrified.
The big snake was scared by the camera and ran....
what's the prize for this one? and how does somebody win?

Here's the premise David......it's an interesting process, it's for the (6) Pinoy
or (4) of the Tony Tan discus from AngelfishUSA......next month(August) we'll have the auction for the forum....
The winner be voted on in a poll.....
Relieved, Ralph, Zoe and the others all swam away downstream.
The director, world famous, Stephen Spillway, followed them all too...
Spillway was planning a new ocean adventure called Starfish Wars.
He wondered about a starfish- looking creature in the Amazon.
He really preferred the Amazon river to the ocean anyway.
The evil Dr. Wang saw a preview for Starfish Wars.
He found Ralph! there's some busyness to take care of
Dr. Wang knew Ralph when the original Starfish Wars occurred.
(This is so awesome, you guys! :D )
He sent his assistant to go "take care" of Ralph.
The assistant used to be Ralph's friend, but went to
the dark side. He was a Siamese fighter named Chewbetta. ;D
The whole group of fish and director headed for Hollywood.
Off they went, new careers, new hopes, and new friends
And who did they meet when they got there? Noneother...
...than the guys from the Animal Planet television show "Tanked".
They hoped they didn't get put in a tank under....
...a skateboard ramp! That is just too scarey for them. :o
The director, securing his new found stars, hustled the away..
He had other plans, a 'Star Wars' flick with fish...
Ralph hoped to be picked to play Hans Solo's part.
And Zoe wanted to be Princess Lea in the movie.
Chewbetta was cast as himself. Now he needs an R2D2.
R2D2 was cast as their old friend, the snapping turtle.
Anaconda was flown in from the Amazon as Darth Vader.
The evil Dr. Wang was asked to be the emperor.
He agreed that way he could get close to Ralph!
Dr. Wang approached Ralph, he stabbed Ralph with a knife!
Luckily Ralph ended up with only a cut caudal fin.
Zoe was traumatized, She didn't know about there evil past!
The director started making his movie plans with the actors.
Someone asked where the movie would take place, it was...
going to be filmed at beautiful, cold, Lake Tahoe, California!
They were going to swim under famous the Fanny Bridge.
But, plans changed and they were scooped up and put...
...into a big planted pool at a Las Vegas casino!
Looking around, Ralph noticed that he was in Reno Nevada..
could he get word out to the director for help??
Then he heard the band...could it be...could it????
**** note, we'll wrap this up by Friday(26th),,,start thinking of voting criteria****
The band was the Great Underwater Fancy Finned Flute Group.
Zoe, with fanciest of fins was asked to join in.
Ralph hoped the band would choose him to join them.
The band did ask Ralph to join, there going touring.
..to Lake Tahoe...Ralph did manage to become a 'roadie'
Then he started drawing up their escape plans....stay tuned
Ralph had a massive heart attack whale planning the escape.
A life time of adventure was starting to catch up.
Zoe knew just what to do and saved Ralph's life .
Cichlid and goldfish now had to change their plans again.
They needed to find a "fish retirement home" of sorts.
So off they went, despite nuts trying to kill them :D
The rough seas parted like a bad greasy comb over.
And there appeared the gorgeous Blue Water Aquatic Retirement Center.
There, a crowd of retired fish greeted Ralph and Zoe.
Ralph stepped forward with a magic pill of youthful dexterity.
One by one the old fish took the magic pill
Before their very eyes a transformation began to take place
The affects of time and gravity were reversed almost instantly.
Droopy things firmed up and sagging things tightened back taught..
Renewed and invigorated the fish kicked the doors down fast.
They hopped a flight to Dubaii to gamble with Kings
Ralph proclaimed loudly: better to burn out than fade away!!!!!
Security found only ashes in the rooms in the morning
The maid, while cleaning up the ashes...spilled some water
POOPH.....they all arose as if nothing happened at all ????
Except for Reynaldo who was trapped in the vacuum cleaner.
He inhaled a toe nail clipping, died a horrible death

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
and just why does everyone want our demise, thought Ralph
Ralph wanted to play the flute at the retirement home.
The flute created bubbles reminding Ralph and Zoe of champagne .
One of Ralph and Zoe's fry appeared, six months old.
He was an odd looking fish but they loved him.
The little family swam away toward a different exciting life.
the little guy blew a few bubbles from port side.
Everyone giggled and then the family shared a group fin-hug.
While they drifted downstream, something appeared off in the distance.
It came down from the clouds, close to the water.
As it hovered over the water, a tube was lowered.
Ralph, Zoe and fry were sucked up into the tube.
The silver object, with fish now inside it, flew away.
They were released from the tube greeted by beautiful angelfish.
They looked around and saw the most lovely pearly gates.
Ralph approach Saint Puffer fish. Saint Puffer knew Ralph's life.
All was good between them, this was to be home...
Ralph and Zoe looked around and said "This is heavenly ".
And so, our little fish family are now happily living...
...far away with millions of other fish as new friends.
The End ?

Ok folks, we can do what Frank suggested:
