Here’s an idea I had for an AU I had in my mind lately. What if ‘The Master’ Flatfish saved Padak from getting caught by one of the humans in the sushi shop and they both escaped together? And I wanted to give my girl Padak a happy ending, and I been rooting for her to escape. Also, I wanted to give the flatfish a bit more character development than he had in the film.
It would take place after ‘The Master’ Flatfish got spared and put back in the tank because the customer wanted mackerel instead. Padak would had been about to be taken away to be eaten, but “The Master” decided to change for the better to save someone who had hope. He jumps out of the tank which would hit the man (the owner) in the face as a distraction and fallen over causing him to drop Padak and the net and the man falling down. She was surprised that the flatfish done that, would had given her the chance to escape from the tank.
The scene on the AU would be similar to the original ending but it had the two fish escaping to sea together. Padak this time had more determination and pushed herself even more, as they were near the edge of the dock of the restaurant. Flatfish still got stopped grabbed by the owner, but Padak was hesitant of jumping to the water because she didn’t want to leave him behind. Flatfish tried to tell Padak to go,so she successfully jumped and felt guilt of going on without him and thought he didn’t make it. It was until she found out he survived and caught up with her.
“You made it! I thought you were gone! Come on, I have so much to show you!”
(He still uses that little sword to escape the restaurant owner’s hand and cut his finger.)
There! I got that outta my chest, I hope you guys like the AU! ^^
