Characters:
Me—Mira the Moon Jellyfish
Best Friend—Finny the Clownfish
(Scene: Deep under the turquoise waves near a vibrant coral reef)
Mira: (floating slowly) Where have you been? I’ve been floating around all morning, and you’re nowhere near our reef!
Finny: (popping out of a coral cave) I’m sorry, Mira! I got caught up playing hide-and-seek with a group of baby turtles. They’re surprisingly fast for their age.
Mira: (twirling a little) Typical Finny. Always off on some underwater adventure, always too busy! What if I had been stung by a sea urchin or chased by a shark?
Finny: (grinning) Then you’d have zapped them with your stingers and floated away like the majestic queen you are!
Mira: (pretending to blush) Oh, stop it. But seriously, I missed our morning glow-float.
Finny: I missed it too. Remember when we used to do it every sunrise—just you and me lighting up the reef like two underwater stars?
Mira: Those were peaceful times. Lately, everyone’s in such a rush. Even the waves feel faster.
Finny: That’s the thing, Mira. The ocean has been changing. I overheard a pod of dolphins talking about the surface world—pollution, plastic tides… it’s so scary.
Mira: (sighing) I know. Even the currents feel sick. I got tangled in a ribbon of garbage yesterday. That took me hours to wiggle out.
Finny: (swimming closer) I don’t like seeing you hurt, Mira. I wish I could protect you better.
Mira: You always protect me, Finny. Even if you’re half my size.
Finny: (grinning) True! I may be small, but I’m brave. And incredibly charming.
Mira: (giggling) And humble, clearly.
Finny: But jokes aside, Mira… Do you think we’ll always have this? Our reef and our friendship?
Mira: Hmm… The ocean may stretch far and wide, and change may ripple through it, but you and I? We’re like the tide and the moon—meant to move together.
Finny: (smiling softly) That was poetic. You should start your own jellyfish journal.
Mira: Maybe I will. “Jellies and Journeys: A Memoir.”
Finny: I’d write the foreword! “This jellyfish changed my life. She glows brighter than any other coral cave.”
Mira: (gently) Finny… Thank you for always being you.
Finny: Always, Mira. Through every current, every storm, and every floating plastic bottle, I’ll be here.
(A pause as both float side by side, watching a shoal of silverfish shimmer past.)
Mira: What if we gathered the other sea creatures and formed a reef-cleaning crew? We could call it… The Aqua Alliance!
Finny: Yes! We’d hold underwater meetings, create coral-safe campaigns, and maybe even get the dolphins to endorse us.
Mira: We’d need the octopuses too. Their multitasking is legendary.
Finny: And the whales could spread the word through their songs!
Mira: Look at us, we, the dreamers of the deep.
Finny: No, doers of the deep. We are The Best friends, defenders of the sea.
Mira: I like the sound of that.
(The sun above ripples through the water, casting golden light as the two friends swim off together, their laughter blending with the rhythm of the waves.)
Moral:
Even in the depths of the sea, true friendship shines the brightest. Together, we can heal oceans—one ripple at a time!!
