Chapter 15

"Hey buddy you ready to have some fun on a boys day?"

"Yea."

"What are we going to be doing on our boys day today?"

"We will be going to the surface and I am going to show you the ways of the town."

"I thought that the top world is dangerous?"

"It is if you don't know what you are doing."

"That's why I am taking you up there to teach you so if you ever have to come to shore you will know what to do."

"That sounds like a lot of fun."

"I can't wait to learn more about the surface world."

I grabbed fathers hand and he took us to the surface.

Our fins turned into legs.

"What are we going to be doing first?"

"Well I will show you how the road works for vehicles and people."

"Yea!"

We walked to the road.

Vehicles passed by fast and people looked both ways and crossed the road as well.

"Lilly and I almost got hit last time we were here."

"Yes vehicles are very dangerous to be around when they are moving like that."

"That is why people look both ways before crossing the street."

"Next we will be watching people talk and how they interact with each other."

"People can be nice and friendly, and some can be very rude to others let's be quiet and just watch okay?"

I watched as people talked to each other.

Father was right they can be very rude or nice to each other.

I even heard a gun go off.

"Father can we go do something else now?"

"Yes."

"So Jake do you now understand why you have to be very careful out here on the surface world?"

"Yes father I understand why we have to be careful."

"Father, why does mother hate the surface world so much?"

"You see, Jake, your mother used to love this world."

"She found a family that she could be with and they loved her but the mother of her family here turned her into a scientist lab and she was hurt in that lab."

"When she escaped she went back to her surface family and the mother was mean and wanted nothing to do with her."

"Your mother was sad that she had to leave her step brother, sister, and her step father but she knew it was best if she left."

"In the lab did you know your mother saved my life?"

"So that's why mother hates it here."

"That also means mother is your hero."

"That's so cool."

"Yes she is my hero."

"Wow."
