Zen was napping peacefully on the beach when he was woken up by yelling. Drowsily, he sat up and saw a somewhat beat up Plush Dragon trying to calm what appeared to be a shark in the water. Zen walked over to this Plush Dragon to find it was Big Blue.

"Hello? Big Blue?" Zen called out.

Big Blue struggled to reply but mustered a shouted, "Hey!" The shark started to flail around more aggressively. "This shark was a hook in its fin!"

"Do you need help?" Zen asked, thinking that he may just get in the way.

"Please!"

Zen ran over to help, but ended up slipping in the process. Big Blue was attempting to hold down this shark and grab the hook at the same time. After Zen was finally able to get to Big Blue, he saw that this shark looked much larger than he initially thought. Zen wanted to be sure to avoid those jaws as he knew that with his luck... he would become this shark's lunch! He used his paws to hold this shark down after dodging a few close calls. Zen hopped on top of this shark to find that it was flailing more frantically than before. Big Blue started to grunt while grapping the shark as well.

Big Blue grunted, "Can you grab the hook from the fin? You're a bit closer than I am!"

Zen hesitated, but he did see the hook that was wedged into the shark's fin. He waited a few seconds and grabbed the hook in his jaws to yank it slightly. This caused the shark's mouth to try to aim at Zen. Despite this, he tried his best to yank the hook out. After it was out, the shark calmed down and both Plush Dragons hopped off. Big Blue and Zen watched the grateful shark swim off. Zen had the hook in his mouth and seemed in shock that he was able to do something helpful for a sea creature. He shook the excess water and gave Blue the hook.

"That was one way to wake up energized after a nap!" Zen exclaimed with a chuckle
