by Chris F.

The second youngest is Slimy and the oldest you could guess is Slippery. It all started when Slippery and Slimy were crawling on Evolution Beach in the Gulf of Mexico desperately looking for food.

Slippery and Slimy’s shells are so beautiful that everybody looked at them when they passed by. All of a sudden Slippery decides to go into the water and find food because they didn't find anything on the beach. Slippery goes into the water and Slimy goes in next. All of a sudden Slippery gets caught in a hunter's trap. The hunter wanted the beautiful shell of Slippery. Slimy gets out of the water to get Moist. Moist was with his friend Freddy the fish. They were offshore on the mainland of Louisiana. Freddy was a Great Barracuda.

After they went to get Moist they went back to Evolution Beach. On the way they spotted mollusks, crustaceans, sponges, sea urchins and various sea plants. With a smile on their face they decided to take a bite. When they were done they went into the water to rescue Slippery.

It took them a while to find Slippery, but when they found him he was scared and uncomfortable. They used their Hawksbills and fins to get Slippery out of the cage. When Slippery got out he thanked his friend and his brothers for rescuing him.

Then he threw a huge party and invited everyone he knew. From then on Slippery only went into the water with Slimy and Moist.

When Slippery was older he and his brothers went to the arcade they saw their friend Freddy the fish trapped inside of a game, but that’s another story.
