Summary/ Tooth only wanted to catch some trout for lunch; instead, she got a merman instead. (Pre-rainbow snowcone?) AU.

A normal day, to Tooth, was going out to the docks and fishing with her sisters was just relaxing, chattering and laughing about the stupidest things, catching trout, and soaking in the sun. That day she went alone, since her sisters had started school again she would just have to go fishing alone. She expected it to be quiet, with only the sound of the boats and rushing waves.

She was wrong, really wrong.

After she had sat down at the edge of the dock and thrown her line in, a bubbling came from underneath the dock. Tooth's eyes widened and dropped her stuff. She held onto the edge and looked under the dock.

"What the-"

"Crap."

She was going mad.

"YOU'RE A MERMAID!" She screamed. She didn't realize she leaned too far, and then fell in. She quickly pushed herself back to the top and coughed a bit. She wiped the salt water out of her eyes and the white-haired boy came back in full vision again.

"Y-you can see me?" He stuttered. Tooth furrowed her eyebrows.

"Well, yeah! B-But…you're not supposed to exist!" Tooth yelled. He hushed her, bringing his finger to his lip quickly before dropping it in the water again. Tooth pressed her lips in a tight line. She glanced back at the boats, then at the men and women who were examining her spot curiously. She quickly moved under the dock so they wouldn't see her.

"Well…I do exist. Actually, I'm not the only one. There is thousands more merpeople out in the ocean." He smiled. Tooth shook her head, a small frustrated whine coming from her throat.

"I don't understand." Tooth said lowly. He rolled his eyes and flicked his light blue tail.

"I'm a merman, and they are other with fins." He sounded annoyed. Tooth scowled.

"Sorry Mister, it's not every day you see a guy with gills." Tooth gave a little shrug. He gave a glare before shaking his head.

"What's your name?" Tooth asked, changing the subject.

"Jack. Jack Frost…and yours?" Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Tooth." She answered.

"Tooth as in…actual teeth?" He leaned against some rocks the dock was built into.

"Oh no I'm named after a candy bar-yes like actual teeth!" Tooth exclaimed. Jack pulled back and frowned. Tooth pursued her lips again, her eyes softening. She didn't mean to yell at him, she just got tired with people questioning her name. She hung her head a bit.

"Sorry." Tooth apologized nervously.

"I-It's fine." Jack nodded. Tooth stayed silent for a moment before lifting her head again.

"Why are you here and what was that bubbling?" Tooth questioned. Jack smiled and his eyes brightened.

"I've always wanted legs, like you and the people on the docks! I was trying out this potion a witch doctor gave to me…it didn't work…I knew I should've listened to Bunny before going to him." Jack started speaking to himself mostly. Tooth made a face, raising an eyebrow. She pulled back and laughed under her breath.

"Witch doctor? Bunny…? I am going mad." Tooth shook her head.

"Hey, you're talking to a merman-"

"This is exactly it! I'm talking to the Little Mermaid while everybody else is having lunch!" Tooth exclaimed. Jack laughed and shook his head.

"What?"

"Why is it so hard for people to believe in 'impossible' beings?" Jack asked.

"Well it's just…we live in a world where fairytales like, y'know, mermaids and witch doctors aren't real. And if people say they've seen something like that or are a magical being of some sort they're put down as crazy." Tooth shrugged.

"That still doesn't explain much." Jack placed his chin on his hand.

"That's the best I've got." Tooth placed a lose piece of hair behind her ear. Jack eyed her colorful hair and furrowed his eyebrows.

"What?" Tooth asked.

"Nothing…" Jack shook his head. "Anyways, what I mean is why are people put down for believing? Are people's mind trained not to be imaginative?"

Tooth's eyes widened. She opened her mouth but closed it; she couldn't find the right words.

"N-No. It's just that-um…" Tooth looked down at the water at her reflection and her eyes brightened. 'Baby Tooth!' She thought. She swam over to the rocks he was sitting at and sat down.

"Generally, it's okay to say if you say you've seen a mermaid-or merman, because you're young and you believe in the fairytales you're given. But at one point we're told to grow up, forget about the fables and characters we love so much. We refuse at one point but then everybody around us, everybody we grew up with is starting to leave them behind. So we follow, and forget about the fairytales. And when they're brought up again, they're called silly, ridiculous! And the process repeats." Tooth crossed her arms. Jack tilted his head, frowning deeply.

"It sounds like you're talking about how my people's lifestyle works." Jack mimicked Tooth's stance.

"What do you mean?"

"It's the same exact thing! When you're little you hear stories of talking animals and people on land, or witches, wizards, time travelers, pirates-everything! Then when you get older they tell you they are dangerous, the only people you can trust is the mermaids and mermen you live with. It's all everybody has ever known for hundreds of years." Jack rolled his eyes, flicking his tail. Tooth huffed.

"That's not fair I mean-"

"I'm talking to you aren't I? A human, a land dweller?" Jack smiled. Tooth blushed a bit and shook her head.

"You have a friend, Bunny, right?" Tooth asked.

"Well, frienemy." Jack said.

"Nonetheless! Yes there can be dangerous, evil people but they are only looking at the dark side of humans and…magical people or-whatever!" Tooth exclaimed.

"Tooth?" A small voice called out. Tooth nearly hit her head on the dock when she jumped.

"Who's that?" Jack whispered.

"It's my sister!" Tooth exclaimed lowly.

Baby Tooth looked at her sister's things curiously before crossing her arms. Her sister never left her fishing supplies behind at the dock unless there was an emergency, and nothing was wrong at home or at her friends…so something bad must've happened to Tooth. Baby Tooth gasped.

"Oh no!" Baby Tooth yelled. Tooth's grew as wide as the moon. Jack glanced up and back at Tooth before quickly pushing her out from underneath the docks.

"U-um, Baby Tooth I'm over here!" Tooth yelled. Baby Tooth smiled but then furrowed her eyebrows. She looked over the dock and shook her head.

"Why are you in the water Tooth?" Baby Tooth asked. Tooth laughed nervously.

"I…fell in." Tooth shrugged. Baby Tooth laughed.

"How did you do that?" Baby Tooth asked.

"I don't know, it was an accident." Tooth shrugged. One of the women who worked at the boats spotted Tooth and Baby Tooth and immediately came running over. She glanced at Baby Tooth before getting on her knees and reaching a hand out for Tooth.

"What are you doing in the water, Thia? You're not even wearing your suit!" She exclaimed then helped pull Tooth out of the water. Her husband came running over with a towel for Tooth. While everybody fussed over her, Jack started swimming away. Tooth glanced behind her shoulder to see Jack smiling brightly at her; and then he mouthed the words 'See you again soon'.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed (?) honestly the whole thing is just for crap n' giggles. I had a lot of fun writing it! And sorry if I made the characters (a bit) OOC (especially with Tooth, I gave her the sassy mouth).

Thanks for reading!
