Simon the Seagull and Sillee, his friend the pink shark with purple braces, were looking for Ollie the Octopus on the shore. "There he is!" shouts Simon. Out of the sand comes Ollie, waving and then falling onto the ground, his ten tentacles of skates rocking him from one step to the other. He falls headfirst, landing on his face and stomach, giving out a large burp. "Welcome, my friends," says Ollie. "Come ashore and to my birthday party. There will be magic. Everyone is coming." "Here we come," says Simon and Sillee together.
In a poignant moment of farewell, Simon reflects on the loss of his childhood sanctuary, the Dolphin Play Time Stadium, now silent and empty. With his long wings, he embarks on a quest to reunite with his magical friends and discover a new place to belong. This journey captures themes of nostalgia, friendship, and the search for a sense of home in a changing world.
