Delenn goes on a diving mission. However, Lennier doesn't know what's going to happen.

Today Lennier was going to show the Minbari martial arts society's leader's cousin round the station. She was here on a duty to learn about B5 and study the assignment of peace it would hopefully solve. She was about the same age as Lennier, and was small and girly, but knew her mission. Lennier was excited to see her.

The girl walked through the security barrier with the guards finding out who she was, and then she walked over. She did the Minbari bow.

"Tirina," said Lennier, "It is an honour to meet you."

"Well!" Tirina claimed, "It appears this station isn't what I thought. I was imagining it hustling with people but I can see it isn't."

Lennier smiled as if nothing was wrong.

"I will show you to your room," he said.

Meanwhile Delenn was also meeting up with someone. His name was Tirlon and he was a giant turtle that could talk. He had been on B5 for six months and wanted to discuss making his home bigger.

Tirlon lived in a big tank. There was no way he could get about, only breathing water, and wanted to make his tank bigger. Delenn knew that this would mean taking money from Babylon 5's budget. The Captain was up to his ears in paperwork. Ambassador Delenn had decided that she might be able to set up something using Minbari technology and was now on a scuba diving mission. She had pulled on diving gear and was now trying to get the B5 gas mask to fit over her skull.

Delenn dived into the tank and sank to the bottom. All around her were little fishes. They nibbled at her toes, safely hidden away in flippers. Tirlon appeared.

"Good morning, Minbari Ambassador…erm, what's your name?"

"My name is Delenn."

"Yes…Delenn. You here to get this sorted out?"

"Oh yes! I am most looking forward to it. It has been some time since I have been in such a place. I once went underwater with my friend Kiriana on Minbar. I was twelve. She and I both loved the beautiful scenery. We were under the sea and fishes swum around my head. But then we had to go up for air. My father was very cross when I coughed water all over him. Yes! And then-"

Tirlon wondered if he could run…I mean swim…and hide and see if…what was her name… Delenn could find him. Then suddenly the ambassador was caught by the sight of a beautiful fish.

"What is this?" she wondered.

"Oh…that's a future fish." Tirlon said, "They say that a certain species can sometimes be pulled 5 hours in the future if they feel it."

Delenn tested the fish. Then, to her fright, she was transported 5 hours in the future. She was looking at herself.

Delenn was sat in the hairdressers, wearing a dressing gown, with Lennier and the girl who was on duty from the Minbari martial art society.

"Lennier," she said.

"Yes, Ambassador Delenn." Lennier acted just like Lennier.

"You were a hero!" grinned Delenn. Then suddenly the girl leaned over and kissed Lennier.

Delenn then suddenly came back to reality. She was so shocked she fainted.

30 minutes later, Lennier was showing Tirina around B5.

"And this is your quarters," he concluded.

"Well!" said Tirina, "That was exciting!"

Lennier remembered Delenn.

"Tirina," he said, "Ambassador Delenn has been gone for a while. She said she would meet me at quarter to 9. I would like to leave."

"I'll go with you," Tirina grinned.

They arrived at the water chamber. They were sat for five minutes waiting.

"Tirina," said Lennier, "The ambassador might be in some sort of trouble. I will look down a periscope to see what has happened." Lennier walked towards the periscope.

"What's down there?" wondered his accomplice.

Lennier said, "I can see nothing but fish."

The periscope looked and saw Delenn lying down on a rock.

Lennier ran and pulled a B5 gas mask off the wall.

"Tirina," he said, "The ambassador appears to be asleep."

"You're going to rescue her!" Tirina was shocked and pleased.

Lennier put on the mask, making sure the strap was fitting snugly over his cranium.

"I will do my best to retrieve her," he answered. And then he dived in.

Under the waves it was warm and dark. Lennier spotted the ambassador on the rock, breathing slightly. Lennier swam over and started pulling her.

"Do you know why she's starting to stop breathing?" questioned Tirlon. Lennier put his hand on Delenn's oxygen tank.

"Her oxygen is leaking," he said, "I need you to help me get her to the surface. Why did you leave her on that rock?"

"I didn't know what was wrong with her!" Tirlon professed.

Lennier swam to the top of the water, pulling off Delenn's gas mask. She started to breathe and Lennier took off his gas mask.

Before long Delenn was back to normal.

Dr Franklin gave her a check-up.

"It appears you were rescued just in time," he said, "What you suffered from was shock. Maybe you saw something down there that stirred a forgotten memory."

"I do not think that is so." Delenn was planning a trip to the hairdressers. "If you do not mind, I've got somewhere else to go."

30 minutes later Delenn was sat in the hairdressers, her hair in buns.

Lennier stepped in with the girl who was from the martial arts society.

"Lennier," Delenn found herself saying.

"Yes, Ambassador Delenn." Lennier acted just like Lennier.

"You were a hero!" grinned Delenn. Then suddenly the girl leaned over and kissed Lennier, who was a bit shocked but managed to stay strong. Delenn could only laugh at the way the situation played itself. Lennier was smiling just as before. The girl smiled.

"Well!" she said, "That was exciting!"
