Character history[]
When Tubarina, Ester and Polvina were playing with a zebra shark named Squirt, they accidentally hit Bonnie while she was working in her garden. They return to her cottage the next day to check up on Bonnie, inadvertently discovering the mess in her home. Tubarina states to Polvina and Ester that Bonnie can't keep living by herself because she can't look after herself, which they disagree.
The day after, Bonnie became lost while going on a walk and was found by Ester and Polvina, who were on their way to visit her. After taking her home, they find Tubarina there with the Shark King and Squirt inspecting the damage. After looking inside her house, the Shark King offers to show Bonnie a nicer home, thinking that Bonnie can't look after herself anymore. However, Bonnie does not want to move out of her home, so Ester and Polvina help clean Bonnie's house. This initially causes conflict with Tubarina, but after Squirt decides to help, Tubarina joins in as well.
The Shark King returns to visit Bonnie again, but he still does not allow her to live alone because he states that she needs "a little help" every day. When Squirt suggests that he look after Bonnie, she agrees and the Shark King allows Bonnie to stay in her home with him.
