After an exhausting day at the Aquarium with Upward Bound, I plopped on my bed and fell asleep as soon as my eyelids folded up. I woke up with a sudden jolt. I was feeling really wet and I felt like I was floating in water. I closed my eyes quickly because I thought I was hallucinating when I saw double vision. I could see under the water as well as on top. When I focused on top of the water, I saw many faces and they looked very familiar, they were human faces. When I looked beneath the water I saw lots of fish swimming around me. I suddenly wondered why I was in the water and at that time I suddenly felt my fins. I moved them and I felt my whole body move. I noticed my breathing. I was amazed that I was able to breathe oxygen by taking in the water with my mouth opened. I tried swimming around a bit. I might as well do something while the "thought of being a fish" was slowly sinking into my head. "I am dreaming...I am dreaming," I tried to say with my jaw. All that came out were bubbles and a jaw bobbing up and down. I was getting the hang of swimming when I felt a sharp pain on my tail. I tried to turn my head to check for damage, but ended up looking like a dog trying to chase his tail. I felt another sharp pain, this time it felt more like a bite. That was the last straw. It was bad enough trying to adapt to being a fish, but getting picked on by other fish was just not fair. Every fish around me looked alike, but I didn't care. I swam to a fish and bit him as hard as I could. He got confused and started biting someone and there goes the domino effect. We all began biting each other and created quite a scene for all the audience at the aquarium. I heard lots oohs & ahhs and I was pretty proud of the fact that we were able to impress them. We were all out of energy. We toned down a bit and I concentrated on my vision. When I looked through my bottom eyes, I saw many fish bodies swimming around. I used these eyes to guide me when I swim. With my top eyes, I saw that the tank that us four-eyed fish were placed in was not very colorful. It looked like a rectangular tank with a blue background. It was an exhausting day with the fight and all. After we ate our little spots of food, I started to fall asleep. I noticed that my eyelids didn't close, but I was still able to sleep. Good, that will freak out some of the kids here, I thought. I woke up with a yawn and noticed my eyelids. Where am I now? I am dry and then I felt my arms and legs. I don't care about where I had been, all I care about is where I am now. What a dream! Or was it?
