Freshwater High

Freshwater High is a high school for fish in Bud's Pets. Many fish including Bea, Milo and Oscar attend.

Description
Freshwater High is the un-ideal school for teen fishes. The principal is Nurse Fishington, who used to be the assistant to the former principal, Stickler. It is set over at least three floors, all of which with tons of lockers. The teachers consist of a woodshop teacher, a gym teacher, a drama teacher and a multi-subject teacher. The school has a lot of clubs, a football team and a basketball team.

Season 1
When Bea got her yearbook photo taken, and she didn't like it, she ordered the yearbook editor Clamantha to not include it in the yearbook. Clamantha refused to do so, and Bea decided to get the photo back before publishing. Bea and Milo sneaked into the yearbook room, where after being told the password by Clamantha's distractor Oscar, got past the locked entrance to the room where the photos were being stored. Milo tripped over one of Clamantha's tripwires put in place to presumably deter unwanted visitors, and then became frightened. He eventually set all of the traps off, and Bea had to save Milo by swimming over to him, catching him, and swimming throughout the various traps. Because of this, the photo-storage room entrance hallway had been damaged. Bea got hold of the photo, but Milo found that there was nothing wrong with it; it was just a normal picture of Bea. After Milo's kind words, Bea hugged him and they left the yearbook room. ("Bea Stays in the Picture")

Milo attended one of the school's football team tryouts once, and became water boy, much to his disappointment. Milo quit the team, but when he realized, with help from Oscar and his pie chart, that once he quit, part of the team had gone, he rushed to Freshwater High to help his team. There was no-one there apart from the janitor, who told Milo that the team were playing against the Geckos. Milo used the help of the downwards-spraying water in his container to help him get over to the tank and help his dehydrated team. With the help from Milo, the Freshwater Fish Hooks won the game. ("Underwater Boy") The school bully, Jocktopus, held his birthday 'party' in the school's cafeteria. Students were told to bring a present or they would be beaten up. Bea, Milo and Oscar couldn't think of anything to give to Jocktopus, so they got some money. But when one student gave Jocktopus money, he became angry at receiving 'worthless paper' for his birthday. Milo, Bea and Oscar panicked, and Milo and Bea, afraid of getting beat up, pushed Oscar towards Jocktopus - he being his birthday present. Oscar helped Jocktopus with his daily bullying, and came up with the idea of printing out a picture of Jocktopus' next victim. One day, it was Milo and Bea, and Oscar pleaded with Jocktopus not to beat them up, and only stopped him from doing so at the last minute - Oscar held up a picture of Jocktopus, saying that he was his next victim, not Milo and Bea. Oscar got out of being Jocktopus' birthday present and became friends with Oscar and Bea again. ("Happy Birthfish, Jocktopus")

Bea became tired of her mother controlling everything she does, so she decided to become an adult and work for Fish Flakes Incorporated. She flew above Freshwater High once and took off some of the roof, leaving part of Mr. Baldwin's classroom exposed. ("Bea Becomes an Adult Fish")

Bea's parents signed up to become chaperones for the Student Council's school dance, much to Bea's horror. Bea came up with the idea of holding a fake dance at the retirement home so her parents couldn't embarrass her at the real school dance. Bea became tired of swimming from one place to another, and ended up being covered in mud when she took a 'jungle' path. Bea was voted Homecoming Queen, but the student council said they may have to give someone else the title, when Bea came into the hall covered in mud. Bea's parents found out about the fake dance after all the seniors at the retirement home fell asleep, and Bea apologized to them. In addition, Bea gave her title as Homecoming Queen to her parents. ("Queen Bea")

Milo was told by Mr. Baldwin once that he may need to be held back if he doesn't pass the next test. Bea and Oscar tell Milo that fish are forgotten about if they don't stay in the same grade as their friends - like Kevin, who none of them remember as he was held back - and the two help Milo study for the test. The two learn that Milo learns best when he's in danger, so Bea and Oscar teach Milo everything he needs to know for the test, during life-threatening situations. Milo only just passed the test, which meant that the three could remain friends. ("Fail Fish")

Oscar decided that he should try to get a better sense of humor when he doesn't find things funny but everyone else does. His sense of humor resulted in Oscar winning the Most Popular Student award. Unfortunately, Oscar's new sense of humor also resulted in him getting beat up by Jocktopus, when he fell down in the hall and Oscar laughed at something else; Jocktopus thinking that Oscar was laughing at him. When Oscar was getting beat up, everyone around laughed at Jocktopus, causing him to drop Oscar and swim off in tears. ("Funny Fish")

Milo and Oscar once thought that their teacher Mr. Baldwin looked and acted similar to Captain Aquarium, a character in a comic book series. Bea joined the two, as she was given a journalism assignment and needed a good scoop. After a while, and after the three and Mr. Baldwin were put into a life-threatening situation, the three discovered that Mr. Baldwin wasn't a superhero, but he went along with the story anyway to help Bea with her journalism assignment. ("Baldwin the Super Fish")

Milo found a Siamese fighting fish once, and used him to help get back at Jocktopus; he was sick of Jocktopus bullying everyone. Milo used the fish's skills to help him become sheriff of Freshwater High - which is where Milo went too far, as he was told later, by all of the fish who Milo put in separate fish bowls because they did bad things. Milo eventually understood this, and as revenge, the Freshwater High students put Milo in a fish bowl on his own. ("Milo Gets a Ninja")

Albert Glass got dropsy once and was sent to the nurse's room, where he was placed into a different tank where he could get treatment without infecting any other fish. Milo wanted the attention that Albert got, so he faked having the disease and got more attention than Albert. Albert became less unwell over the course of a few weeks, and was back to his normal self after that amount of time. Milo still wanted attention, so he continued to fake the disease. Unfortunately, if a fish is still unwell after a few weeks, they get sent to a dropsy tank where all the fish who didn't get rid of the disease go. Milo was sent there, and became horrified at the living conditions. ("Dropsy!")

Milo joined Bea in Coach Salmons' exercise class, where he found he was the weakest fish. He enlisted Jumbo Shrimp to help him become big and strong, and did so, with Jumbo introducing him to the Big Tank, where fish grow bigger than they were originally; Jumbo used this tank once, when known as 'Shrimp Shrimp' and inadvertently became bigger. Milo used this tank several times to become even bigger and stronger, but once he fell asleep and grew the size of the tank. He tried to get out of the tank, and in the process, he smashed it. He walked towards the Freshwater High tank, where Principal Stickler ordered his 'secret army' to fire at Milo - thinking the school was in danger. Once told this giant was a student, Stickler ordered his 'secret army' to stop firing. Milo told his friends about what happened and they agreed to shrink him down again, using the Shrink Tank. ("Big Fish")

Oscar once joined the goth fish at Freshwater High after a disastrous poetry reading. When Oscar realized he couldn't leave his friends, he became his normal self again. ("The Dark Side of the Fish")

The boys and the girls disagreed once on what design the Homecoming Float should be, so they each built their own: the boys building a 'Radical' float and the girls building a 'Beauty' float. Once each had been built, they uncovered them at a presentation, where the two groups started fighting, and each float became damaged. The two floats started to get closer to each other, and the fish just swam off in time to see the two floats combine and form a 'Principal Stickler'-shaped one. Stickler immediately chose this one for the Homecoming Parade. ("Fish Floaters") Oscar wanted to help the school recycle for Earth Day, but Milo couldn't be bothered. To get Milo to recycle, Oscar told him there was a "magical dude" involved in Earth Day named the Earth Troll. Milo started recycling to impress the Earth Troll - who was actually Oscar in costume. The 'Earth Troll' visited Milo every night, but Milo eventually went too far with recycling and became obsessed with doing so. Milo recycled continuously through the night at Freshwater High, where he was visited by the 'Earth Troll' and 'Mrs. Earth Troll' (Bea). The two tried to stop Milo, but their plan didn't work. When Milo was about to switch off all electricity to the tanks, Oscar and Bea couldn't take anymore and revealed themselves. Then, the real Earth Troll turned up and told Milo to recycle, but not to go crazy about it. The Earth Troll then disappeared into a recycling bin. ("Legend of the Earth Troll")

When Milo watched a horror movie on TV, he refused to go to sleep because he was afraid the brain parasites from the film would eat his brain. Milo became aware of an infected fish - Albert Glass. Albert started chasing Milo around, and Milo became frightened. He discovered that Principal Stickler knew a way of getting rid of the parasites - draining the fish tanks. Milo and Stickler did so, and the 'parasite' (actually a green milkshake) was drained from Albert's body. The tank was re-filled with water - and Milo was told he wouldn't be allowed to watch a horror movie ever again. ("Parasite Fright")

Pamela Hamster and Milo started video chatting, and in one of the chats, Pamela asked if she could visit Milo's tank. Milo told her yes, and quickly enlisted Bea and Oscar to help him transform the fish tank into a hamster tank. They did so successfully, but when Pamela wanted to be shown the neighborhood, Milo had no choice but to tell all the fish he was throwing an awesome party, tell them to go to a certain tank, while he drained all the tanks of their water to show Pamela around without his cover being blown. He showed Pamela Freshwater High as well as some other buildings. The fish that went to this 'awesome party' included Freshwater High students and faculty. When they realized the fish tanks had been smashed and drained, they stormed over to wear Milo was having a meal with Pamela to punish him. Under pressure, Milo revealed his true self. Pamela told Milo that she had something to hide - she was actually a gerbil! Pamela's agent came with a helicopter and took her away to the set of a new movie; Sterling Hamsterton, who wanted Pamela to go out with him was also on the helicopter. They went away, and Milo was instructed to repair all of the tanks. ("Pamela Hamster Returns")

Bea, Milo and Oscar's Fridge Hat business started at Freshwater, and it came under threat when Randy Pincherson sold a quite similar product, the Better Fridge Hat. These two businesses competed until Milo found out how Randy had found out about the Fridge Hat - and what the consequences of wearing it too long are. When the side-effect was discovered, the business ended and Randy got beaten up by the crowd. ("Milo's Big Idea")

Milo and Oscar became the football team and the basketball team's mascot, and attended every game. But when Milo wanted the crowd to know who he was to become famous, Oscar strictly told him not to expose themselves. Milo didn't listen to Oscar, and in that game, Milo revealed himself as the bottom half of the mascot. The crowd wanted to know who the head was; Oscar tried to escape but a child tripped Oscar up, sliding him from underneath the costume and into full view of the crowd. Oscar left immediately, with Milo. Milo and Oscar argued, and when Oscar stormed off from the school, he was caught in a net by the Geckoach, who wanted to get rid of the fish who helped the team win. Oscar was kept in a fish tank in the gecko tank, and Milo tried to rescue him. He succeeded, and brought back Oscar to Freshwater to help the struggling basketball team win the game. ("Mascotastrophe")

The morning news announcement show, hosted by Oscar, was freshened up to allow the show to become less boring. The new show also introduced Bea as Oscar's co-host. The show was freshened up once more to receive more praise; it became similar to a morning talk-show. Oscar eventually left the show because Bea was taking up all of the show with irrelevant things, while Oscar needed to read out that morning's announcements. When one of Oscar's announcements went unaired, which was that the cafeteria was closed and the students should bring their own lunches, chaos ensued around the school, with students hallucinating that other students were pieces of food. Oscar borrowed a helicopter and brought meals to the school, ending the chaos. Bea apologized to Oscar, and the show was brought back as the original morning announcement show, with some elements from the final incarnation being added. ("Good Morning, Freshwater")

Bea left her diary in class when the Brush Alarm was sounded - that indicated that Bud was coming to clean the tank. Randy picked up Bea's diary when they were let into class again, and Randy blackmailed Bea into going on a date with him. Bea told Milo and Oscar and they snooped around Randy's house, thinking it was hidden there. They found Randy's grandmother, Grammy Pincherson, who gave the two Randy's diary. After Bea refused to continue the date, Randy went off with Bea's diary, which he had brought to the date, telling Bea he was going to read her diary in front of the whole school. Randy didn't even get to read the whole first entry before Bea came along and told her audience that Randy's grandmother was going to read Randy's diary in front of them. After Grammy Pincherson read out the entry where Randy said he stole Bea's diary, he was heckled by the crowd and thrown at with tomatoes. Randy gave Bea's diary back and ripped it up, saying to never write in a diary again...because everything was online anyway. ("Diary of a Lost Fish") When Oscar was told he needed to join a school club to get into a good college, he decided to join the cheerleading club because all of them apart from Clamantha were scooped up by Bud. Oscar got the girls to join as well. Clamantha trained the cheerleaders as hard as she could so she could beat her rival Clamanda in the All-Species Cheer-Off. At the event, the Freshwater High cheerleading team were there, and so were Clamanda's. Clamanda's team won the event, but Freshwater High's won the award for Most Team Spirit, which resulted in a bigger trophy than what Clamanda's team received given to them. ("We've Got Fish Spirit")

Oscar was told he had won the Best Attendance Award one day, when Principal Stickler realized it was the NEXT day when Oscar would be given the award. Oscar tried his best to make it to school on time the next day, with Milo's soft-spoken alarm keeping him asleep and Bea trimming his hair until it was bald not helping. It looked like Oscar was going to receive the award when Jocktopus blocked the way into the tank while he tied his new shoes. Bea attempted to sweet talk Jocktopus into letting them through, but what Bea said just made him angry, resulting in them being thrown into the tank at the end of the row. Clamantha offered to drive Oscar to school, but Clamantha kept getting distracted - her looking lovingly at Oscar all the time. Oscar's attempt to control the wheel backfired when one swerve resulted in a slow-talking police officer stopping them. The four were put in jail until the trial. In the cell, Oscar realized that he only had to be in his SEAT to receive the award, which prompted Milo to demand to see a judge. The trial went over fast when the judge delivered his verdict - 'not guilty'. The three rushed to school as fast as possible, with Oscar just making it into his seat on time. Oscar received the award and remained happy for the rest of the day. ("Run, Oscar, Run")

The school's students and faculty visited PuPu Goodtimes once, where Randy and Milo had a contest to see who could throw up on a ride first, where Oscar, Jumbo and Albert tried their best to get a piece of rare merchandise and where Bea tried to ride a ride with Steve Jackson before the day was over. All seven rode the Pu Panator rollercoaster, on which Milo won his and Randy's contest, Oscar won the piece of merchandise he was after, and where Bea finally rode a ride with Steve Jackson. Before this, Mr. Baldwin was denied entry onto the rollercoaster because of the 'no pregnant seahorses' rule. ("Good Times at PuPu Goodtimes")

Oscar showed his impression of the Queen of Fish England to some of the students once, and Mr. Mussels mistook Oscar for the actual Queen of Fish England. Mr. Mussels took the 'Queen' to Fish England where Oscar, Bea and Milo had a great time. But when Oscar became angry at the two for taking advantage of his impression, he got into the wrong taxi - a one with the Queen's friends in! The taxi took Oscar to Fishminster Abbey where the Queen was set to get married to the Duke. At the wedding, Milo stood in for the Duke when the actual Duke couldn't find where the ceremony was. The two were about to get married when Mr. Mussels stormed in saying he should get married to the 'Queen'. Him and the 'Duke' took part in a Rap Battle, which Mr. Mussels won. Before the 'Queen' and Mr. Mussels could be married, the actual Queen told Oscar and Milo to go outside. Oscar and Milo, outside, apologized while in tears, when Bea told them both that they weren't apologizing to the actual Queen - it was a wax sculpture from the wax museum. While this was happening, the actual Queen was disguised as Oscar in Freshwater High. Oscar and the Queen returned to their own tanks. ("Oscar Makes an Impression")

The musical written by Mr. Mussels, Potatoes for Winter was performed there once by several of the students. Bea got the lead role and became annoyed at Jocktopus, who had stage fright. Throughout the performance, Bea attempted to get rid of Jocktopus, and when she did, Mr. Mussels told her how much he wanted that part and to impress his father. Bea went backstage to where Jocktopus was being held after he destroyed one of the sets during the performance, and Bea managed to persuade Jocktopus into performing, who, at the time, Oscar was standing in for. Jocktopus helped sing out the show, and after the show, was told by his father to 'smash some nerds'. He destroyed the set, causing everyone to flee from the school while Mr. Baldwin remained in his seat, fast asleep. ("Fish School Musical")

When her tank was being cleaned, Bea kept all her belongings in Milo and Oscar's tank. Milo wanted to try on Bea's dress for the upcoming school dance, and when Oscar tried to get it off Milo, the dress ripped. Milo and Oscar went to a store at the mall to buy the dress, but it cost $1000. The two got jobs there to buy the dress, which with their employee discount, would cost less. The two managed to raise the money, and bought the dress. The two put it in its box, and acted like nothing had happened. But when Bea returned to pick the dress up, she noticed something was different. So, the two poured out the whole story, and Bea told them the original dress was just a cheap knock-off. The three returned the dress to the shop, and Bea bought another knock-off dress for the dance. Mr. Baldwin had bought a hat from Carla's Secret that day, and gave it to Ms. Lips, but the hat fell off her head when she went inside. Clamantha wore all the dresses she also bought from Carla's Secret that day to the dance, because she couldn't decide which one to wear. ("Employee Discount")

Mr. Mussels announced that the school was to hold a talent show for all the students. Bea formed Tres Pescados, which included her, Shellsea, and Clamantha. During their dance routine, Shellsea kicked Clamantha and Shellsea wouldn't apologize. The group fell apart, despite Bea's desperate attempts to get the group back together. With the help of Milo and Oscar, she told the two how the kick happened, and changed the routine to stop it happening again. The group got back together, with the addition of Milo and Oscar, and the group won the talent show. Finberley and Koi never even got a chance to perform. ("Fish Talent Show")

Season 2
Oscar, Albert, Milo and Jumbo discovered the secret that made Steve Jackson so irresistible - his hair gel. The four managed to get hold of a tub, which fell out of Steve's backpack, and wore the gel around school, gathering the attention of girls. Unfortunately for the boys, the hair gel ran out when they had a fight over who should get the last bit of it. The gel got thrown all over the hallway, landing on unsuspecting student's (and Mr. Baldwin's) hair, making THEM irresistible. Then Steve found out and told them that it's not just hair gel that makes them cool, it's themselves. Steve offered to take them to the Hokey Poke to get them a milkshake when Mr. Baldwin came along and shew off his new hairstyle. ("Hairanoid")

At a sleepover, Koi was told that she couldn't answer some of the questions because she never did anything that the question asked her to talk about. Wanting to fit in, Koi blurted out that she did some daring, dangerous and unbelievable feat, causing all of them to gaze at Koi in awe. This spread around the school and everyone thought Koi was cool - which resulted in Koi becoming the most popular girl in school. But Piranhica doubted what Koi said about herself, so she challenged Koi to jump the cat in a roller skate - Koi succeeded, but got half of her face bitten off in the process. ("Koi Story")
