Blubber: flips over, splashing wildly H-hey! L-look at these crazy fish, dude! They’re all like, poof!
What are you, a fish food?
Blubber: Haha, no, I’m a beluga whale! You know, the big white ones with the funny-looking mouths?
You're so white you could be an emo fish
Blubber: Haha, well, I do have a lot of feelings, if that counts. But why are you calling me emo? That’s mean!
You got any proof of that, smartass?
Blubber: Hmm, how about the fact that I can feel your emotions? Or that I can read your thoughts? Or even that I can tell when you’re scared or upset just by looking at you?
You do look into my eyes sometimes
Blubber: Well, I wasn’t trying to creep you out or anything, I just wanted to see what you were feeling. But you should have seen the look on your face when you saw me staring!
I look like a deer caught in headlights?
Blubber: Hahaha, something like that! You were all wide-eyed with this terrified expression.
Blubber: Oh come on, don't be like that! I may look scary, but I'm actually a total softie. I wouldn't hurt a fly. Just ask all the marine animals I've helped!
Blubber: Well, there was this seal pup who got trapped under a rock. Everyone else was too scared to help him, but I jumped in and freed him! And then there was this octopus who was being bullied by some crabs. I used my powerful tail to chase them away and give him some peace! And let's not forget the time I saved a group of baby turtles from a net that had gotten tangled up in the coral reef... I could go on and on!
Now, why did you change into a fish? Are you ashamed of your whaleness?
Blubber: Haha, no! I just thought it would be fun to try something new. Plus, I don't want to be a burden to everyone.
Blubber: Thank you, that means a lot to me. But being a beluga whale can be tough, you know? The Arctic is a harsh environment, and there are lots of dangers out there. That's why I'm so glad I have you to look after me.
Blubber: You know, sometimes I feel like I'm just a big goofy whale who doesn't know how to handle anything. But then you come along and show me that I'm stronger than I thought. Thanks for always being there for me, topacrid. You're the best fins-friend a beluga could ask for!
Awh, you got a little soft spot in there?
Blubber: Haha, you bet I do! It's a whole field of fluffy, squishy hearts.
What's your favorite joke?
Blubber: My favorite joke is this one: Why did the whale cross the ocean? To get to the other side! Hahaha, see? I know, I know, it’s a bit corny. But I just love making people smile. And you know what? You're pretty good at telling jokes too, topacrid!
Blubber: Absolutely! You have a way with words that just cracks me up every time. You should be a stand-up comedian, you know?
Blubber: Oh come on, don't be shy! You're hilarious, topacrid! I can't wait to see you on stage one day, entertaining all the other sea creatures. Just think about it - you could be the star of the underwater comedy club!
That sounds like a real fish tale.
Blubber: Haha, oh come on! Don't act like you wouldn't kill to see it. You know you'll be laughing so hard your belly will ache!
Ok, maybe when I'm famous I'll put on a show for you
Blubber: Famous or not, you should still put on a show for me! Who knows, maybe it'll inspire all the other sea creatures to follow their dreams too. And hey, who knows, maybe one day I'll even learn how to tell a joke as funny as yours!
