Chapter 13 - The New Jellyfish
"Bubbles"
The Journey of Bubbles
Since the jellyfish, "Bubbles", was meant for Melvin, Ellie had so many different thoughts running through her head on why someone would send such a small jellyfish. Ellie wanted to know more about this jellyfish. Where did the jellyfish come from? Did the jellyfish have special skills? Could the jellyfish shape shift? Ellie also worried that something might be wrong with the jellyfish, or happen to it, or die of hunger. Melvin would be the only person that could help the jellyfish or have the technology to do research on it.
Melvin's lab was a short distance from Ellie's house. She carefully wrapped up the box with the small jellyfish inside so it would not get injured. Once Ellie arrived at the lab, Melvin was glad to see her but did not know what she had inside the box. Ellie explained to Melvin that a friend had sent the box to him and she did not know why. Melvin took a look at the tiny jellyfish. Ellie told him that she named him "Bubbles" because he was so tiny.
Melvin knew the jellyfish was important. He thought to himself that this could be the jellyfish that had the special serum inside of it that would allow Melvin to stay young. He knew that he needed to do many tests on the jellyfish to find the perfect antidote. The jellyfish had been under a lot of stress with being moved around so much in such a short time. Melvin knew Bubbles needed rest before any testing could begin.
Ellie was very curious about this jellyfish. Melvin told her that this jellyfish might be the one he has been hoping to find. She wanted to help Melvin in anyway that she could. She was thinking to herself that she needed to stay calm.
