Yelping with excitement, Ollie's tail comes back up and he goes bounding over to the digger. It takes him a few tries to jump high enough to get into the cab, but once he's scrambled into the passenger seat, he hangs his head out the window, his eyes just about wild with joy. "Car ride! Car ride!" he borks, absolutely oblivious to what the heck people were trying to accomplish. That whale was too big for Ollie to register it as a living thing. Clearly, it was a weird bus, or maybe part of an office block for fish.

When she thought that her plan wasn't all that bad, a new guest comes and dismantle it right away. He wasn't entirely wrong... But her ego didn't like to be picked like this. Figuring that the plan will take longer to take place, she figures that it will be better for her to save up her energy. She lets out a few incomprehensible words, and within a few seconds, the giant Alastor disappeared in a swirl of shadows and flames. She made the right decision because she was starting to feel a few drops of sweat on her forehead. Seeing that everyone was following the Handyman's orders, Selaana decided to tag along - it wouldn't hurt her. "Tell us when we need to push, sir!" She screams out to the man with a mustache, ready to call her familiar for a last time this evening.

She looks at the Handyman. "I got him" she takes the ropes, and she ties it to the animal's harness. And she slides down the ground after letting out a well delivered line. "YABBA DABBA DOO!"

The handyman steps back to admire the work that they've done. "That'll do 'er," he mutters in quiet approval, nodding to himself and furrowing his brow. "Okay, let's get that digger lined up and ready to push. Someone get that monster's head pointed in the right direction," now gesturing to the trex, "and we'll go together on 10, yeah?"

Cris gestured to Monicup to direct the digger in place so it could shove the whale ahead by its tail while the dinosaur and the others pushed. "This way!" Signaling and directing she could do without worrying of making a mess.

She goes over to the direction that Cris was directing

Dahlia takes out a flare. "Okay..."

"YAAAAAAAAY!" borks Ollie out the window as the digger moves.

She lights it, and the T.Rex eyes the flare. Letting out a roar. "Yeah..."

The Duchess gets ready to push, looking around at the flurry of activity with mild bewilderment.

"Fine by me. " She says, as she prepares herself to summon her familiar. Near the end of the countdown, the tall demon is back on the beach's sand. The demon looks confused and lost. "Yes, yes, I know: I just sent you back a few seconds ago. No time to argue, be ready to push!" She orders as the demon gets into position with her, ready to push anytime now.

Clover makes sure to get in position to help push as well, in awe at the teamwork taking place.

The T.Rex looks at the Flare, Ignoring the other people here, but then the flare goes out. "Shit.."

The handyman saunters over, finally feeling himself in his element as this fancy shindig. He puts his shoulder against the whale's back, and calls out "10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1! Go go go!" And puts all he's got into pushing on that whale, just praying his back doesn't spasm on him.

She lights another flare. And she leads the T.Rex to the Ocean

"A little more to the left - there, drive it ahead just a bit- alright, you're doing great!" Cris showed thumb up to Monicup, surveying that the digger was directed correctly for when the Handyman would give them the green light.

... Now this was going to be a story to tell. A mystery gift with an adventure tied to it, help provided for a child in distress, and now helping direct a digger to get a whale back into water. Would anyone even believe her?

At the Handyman's call, she shouted to Monicup: "Now! All ahead, full power!!"

"Come on you big Son on of A bitch!" She yells as the T.Rex Drags the Whale into the ocean.

She uses the full power to push to the whale into the ocean

As the t-rex hauls, the digger slides and the volunteers all put their whole bodies into pushing, the whale begins to shift once again, slipping closer and closer to the ocean. The waves now reach it, touching its sides, and it begins to move again as it feels the water. Just a little further, just a little further -- it's starting to get some purchase of its own now, helping the rescuers move it into the water.

Back at the top of the cliff, unseen by the rescuers, Nick's sleigh is beginning to glow with a golden light.

Clover puts all their strength into a mighty push to help the whale along.
