16 year old Riley was walking along the shore. It was part of her daily routine, school, walk on the beach, homework on the beach. Then eventually go home.
When she got home that night her father asked her how her day went.
"Boring" She would respond.
"Well I gotta go to work you gonna be ok by yourself?" Her father asks.

The next morning she made her way to school as usual her father still at work. She went from class to class unamused by the stuff they were trying to teach her.
This time when she went to the beach it was different. She saw a grey blur float up to the shore. So she called for help.
"Clearwater Marine Aquarium, how can I help you?" A boy asks.
"Dolphin, shore, float, beach, Silverwater" was all Riley could say.
"How's it doing" He asks.
"He or she feels very warm" Riley responds.
"Wait there we are on our way" The boy says.
When he hangs up Riley runs over to the Dolphin. She can tell it needs the water so she splashed water on the small creatures dry skin.
"Clearwater Marine Aquarium" A girl answers.
"I called about a Dolphin washing up earlier" Riley starts.
"We've sent a team out" She responds
"Mam Another one just washed up" Riley says.
Soon after the rescue workers show up.
"I'm Sawyer I spoke with you on the phone" Sawyer says introducing himself to Riley.
"Another one washed up just a few minutes ago" Riley says leading Sawyer to the other dolphin.
"Clay we have a problem, there are two dolphins" Sawyer yells.
"Your mom called they are sending out a second team from another Aquarium to take one to our Aquarium" Clay responds.
"I tried to get them cooled down" Riley says.
"Who are you" Hazel asks.
"Riley, I uh" Riley starts to say.
"She was the one who found the Dolphins" Sawyer responds.
"Ohh" Hazel responds grabbing part of the carrier.
"You can come with" Clay yells over.
"Come on" Sawyer says as he helps load one of the dolphins into the ambulance.
"Where are we going" Riley asks.

"Clear a path" Hazel yells as Clay and Phoebe walk fast towards the mini pools.
"Lower them in" Clay says as they lower the dolphins into their pools.
"Sawyer what shall we name the girls?" Clay asks.
"Riley would you like to name them?" Sawyer asks.
"Willow and Clover" Riley replies.
"Willow and Clover it is" Clay announces.

"You wanna help feed Willow?" Sawyer asks from the bottom of the pool.
"I can't" Riley responds.
"Why not" Sawyer asks.

"Sir all I'm asking is for you to let your daughters stay with the Aquarium, work with these dolphins. I can pay the fees for you to have her be homeschooled I think she's enjoy it" Clay is saying when Riley walks into her house.
"The girl can't even swim, besides I have two daughters, I also am being sent outta state for work" her father retorts.
"Oddly enough I have two Dolphins, and I would be willing to become their part time guardian" Clay responds.
"Fine" Her father replies.
"Really dad!" Riley yells.
"Yeah" Her father says.
"I need your help tonight if you don't mind" Clay asks. "You'll need a swimsuit and extra clothes, and sleeping stuff"
"Sure" Riley responds going to get her stuff.
"Can you get her outta school soon and enroll her in homeschool I can be a part time guardian whilst you are away" Clay asks her father.
"I'll do that first thing tomorrow and thank you" He replies.

"He said yes" Clay announces to Sawyer and Hazel.
"Sorry for how I acted on the beach" Hazel apologizes to Riley.
"It's cool" Riley says.
"You wanna swim with Winter?" Hazel asks.
"I didn't help with Winter. Besides I can't " Riley starts to say.
"Sawyer, Hazel we got to teach her how to swim first" Clay says.
Riley just looks down.
"Who's this" Phoebe asks entering the main room.
"This is Riley she found Willow and Clover, she's gonna work with us with them and will be working on school heres also we are also Riley and Harper." Clay replies. "We'll start the swim lessons tomorrow Sawyer, Hazel feed Winter then you guys can relax for the rest of the night.
"Wait dad is Riley spending the night here?" Hazel asks.
"Yep. Her sister will be joining us tomorrow" He replies heading to their house on the dock.
"Where can I lay my stuff out?" Riley asks.
"We can sleep downstairs in the gallery" Sawyer suggests.
"You guys can, but I'm gonna stay up here" Hazel says.
"Goodnight then" Sawyer says grabbing his sleeping bag heading down the stairs to the gallery.

Riley couldn't sleep so she grabbed her sketch book. Sketching away Sawyer notices her face the creases it make the emotions it shows.
"So you have a sister" Sawyer asks breaking the silence.
"Yeah she texted me saying our dad would drop her off in the morning" Riley responds.
"Well I'm tired so I'm gonna go to bed" Sawyer says moving to where he's set his blankets up.
"Good night" Riley says.
