Notes from author

Well my first story got a few views and a few people seemed to like it alot so I decided to write another one to conclude Ben and Saoirse's adventure. Now before going on ahead remember there will be spoilers from this story, my last story and from the movie. The original movie has complete ownership oo Song of the Sea is Tomm Moore, Cartoon Saloon and any of its staff that worked on the original movie. This is only a fanfiction of what I think what happened after the main events of Song of the Sea. Also any other copyright is used in this fanfiction has 100% ownership to its manufacturer and companies. So please don't sue me. I would like to thank Tomm Moore because of his masterpiece of this movie and I hope he will write more stories like this or even make a sequel to this story which would be better. Anyway enough of me chatting about how good the movie is and getting to the story. Please enjoy.

Chapter 1:

The Trip of a lifetime

It's a long trip. Anywhere you go or anyplace you want to go is and will always be a long long trip. Why? Because the world has many places that need to be visited and admired. Think of Big Ben in London or the Great Wall of China. These places are wonderful places to be and take some time to get there. There is one place with an amazing landmark that many people have heard of or seen it on TV and at the movies. This thing is the Statue of Liberty located in the United States of America and that's where our heroes are heading for their amazing trip.

It was dark and very quiet in the cabin of the plane. Ben was asleep while his headphones were on. He had his tray table out filled with peanut shells and empty cans of Pepsi Free. He had a blanket over him and a pillow that supported his head. Granny was also asleep, she didn't snore to loud or too much but it would be nicer if she didn't snore at all. Conor on the other hand…...well….let's just say he had a little too much to drink and was currently asleep with a little bottle of scotch and a glass cup with two ice cubes in it that had been melting ever since he poured that one glass of that room temperature beverage into his glass. The only person awake was Saoirse. She had her coloring book with a glass of water. Saoirse wasn't such a big fan of flavored drinks, but her absolute favorite has to be lemonade. Unfortunately the plane did not have any on board so she had a glass of water instead. Saoirse was on a blank page and started to draw a white selkie with seals swimming in the water right by her father's lighthouse and the island of Mac Lir. She puts in red for the lighthouse and carefully colors the stripes of the lighthouse. She finishes up the touches of the lighthouse and moves on to the sky. The sky is very blue so she adds a little yellow to show the reflection of the sun that rises up in the sky. The water has many waves as the seals she made jumps in and out of the water.

After about a half an hour or coloring she finishes. It looks amazing. She closes the book and grabs half of the blanket that Ben is using and lays her head on the pillow that is connected to the seat. Falling asleep to the moon shining on her as a night light and starts to dream of her mother. Saoirse is in a room partly dark and partly blue. She looks around to see what is happening to her. She feels scared like she is having a dream that you cannot get of, she feels something will turn her to stone and take her feelings away. But she then sees a great bright light that appears to be her mother wearing the her selkie coat. Saoirse quietly says "Mum?" Her mother Bronagh smiles at Saoirse. Saoirse gasps and tries to figure out what is happening, but she can't. Bronagh walks over to Saoirse, kneels down to her height and talks to her. "My daughter, my selkie child, you will have many great adventures. Many challenges with your friends and family, but will be easy for you to solve. I gave you life. I gave you a happy voice. But what you gave me is more important than any other thing in the world is love. You will always do good. I have a task for you my daughter and that task is to keep on moving even though I may not be there most of the time. I will however be there for you, Granny, Dad, Cu and Ben in spirit." Saoirse takes a moment to think about what she will do if she ever needs her mother's help. "Mum, I brought the shell with us to our trip. I am scared that Ben or dad will be upset, could you take it from me?" Saoirse responds."I don't want it to disappear or for it to break again, like the time I dropped it. Please mum take it from me, at least as long as we are on this trip. I want to see it again when we get back." Bronagh had agreed with Saoirse's request. "Of course my child, anything for you. I just need to know where it is." Saoirse tells Bronagh that the shell is in her carry on that is right above her. Bronagh shows the carry on from her mind and locates the shell, it was under some of Saoirse's clothes. She uses a spell that will retrieve the shell. After the spell was used the shell slowly faded away and arrived in Saoirse's dreams in Bronagh's hands. Saoirse was in shock to see such abilities that her mother has. "Mum where did you learn that?" Saoirse asks. "They just come to me, maybe a gift from God or one of his angels. That's why we are here, you, me and your brother Ben. One day you will have the powers that I have. Make sure you cherish them and only use them for good my daughter. I must leave now my child, I promise to keep this shell safe and away from any harm that may come towards it. Also if you need any help from me, just sing your song and I will come to help you in anyway I can." Saoirse stands there in her dream with a look of confusion on her face. "Mum what song? Mum? Mum!" Saoirse demands as Bronagh fades away from the room "When the time comes you will know. But for now just know that I love you and your brother the most at this moment, see you later my daughter, my child, know that I love you." Bronagh disappears after those words left her mouth. The room begins to change to a white color and Saoirse hears her name being called over and over again. "Saoirse we are almost there, wake up." The voice demands. Soon Saoirse wakes up from her dream to see she is still on the plane.

She sits up rubs her eyes. "Ha ha ha, look you have a crayon stuck on your cheek." Ben says as he removes the blue crayon. Saoirse looks at Ben and smiles. "I had an awesome dream while I was sleeping." Saoirse says to Ben. "Oh really? What was it about?" Ben asks. Saoirse closes her eyes and tells Ben "It's a secret" and smiles. She opens her eyes to Ben and winks at him. Ben sits in his seat with a look of confusion of what Saoirse said. "Ok Saoirse, whatever you say little sister." Ben says. Later on they begin their descent into the Albany International Airport for their layover. The pilot, Don gets on the loudspeaker and begins to speak. "Hello everyone, this is Don your pilot for the day. Very bumpy ride we had leaving Ireland but smoothed out once we reached cruising altitude. I sure do hope that our two junior pilots got to enjoy their first flight and their first time in the United States. We are beginning our descent to the airport at this time so please turn off any electronic personal devices, seats up, seat belts on and tray tables up. Please do not forget your personal items on your way out to the front of the plane. Thank you and I will speak to you again once we have landed." Don gets off the loudspeaker and Saoirse grabs her coloring book and crayons that she brought from the pouch that was attached to the seat in front of her. Ben makes sure that his WALKMAN was turned off and winds up his headphones to put in his pocket. Conor wakes up Granny and he follows the same procedures as everyone else in the plane.

Fifteen minutes have past and the gears of the plane begin to deploy out exposing its wheels. Saoirse sees the plane's flaps expand out of the window. Saoirse pulls on Ben's shirt to get his attention. He looks over at Saoirse and she points outs to the window. Ben scoots over towards the window and says "whoa" as the plane slowly loses altitude and prepares to land on the runway. "Ben get back in your seat." Conor says. "Sorry dad, I will do that now." Ben scoots back to his seat and waits for the plane to land. He looks at Saoirse to see a bright smile on her face from the reflection of the window. Ben smiles to see that Saoirse is enjoying her time. The plane naturally lands on the runway and comes to a complete stop. It felt really weird for them to experience on what it feels like when a plane lands, but it doesn't really bother Ben and Saoirse. Granny and Conor didn't really notice anything either, like they have been on a plane before. "Hello everyone, this is Don once again. I do hope you did enjoyed your flight and that our flight attendants gave you fine and respectable services. A message to our two little one's on board. We would like you to come up to the cockpit and take a picture of your fine and exciting journey before you leave us to go explore the states. If it's ok with your father of course. So please recommend it. Ben and Saoirse sit on their knees and look back a Conor their dad for permission. Their smiles convinced Conor to give the ok. "Alright you two, let's wait for everyone to go first and we will take the picture with the pilot, is that alright with you mum?" Granny nods as she puts the magazine back into its pouch.

The back had cleared out and the family of four got up from their seats. Conor grabbed all four carry on bags and gave them to Ben, Saoirse, Granny and himself. They walked towards the front of the plane and see the pilot, Don. "Well now I see that you have made it through, so how was it? Did you like bumps we went through?" Don asks Ben and Saoirse. "It was amazing." Ben said. "Well how about you Saoirse? Did you enjoy the flight as well?" Don asks Saoirse. "I thought it was scary at first but I liked it when we took off." Saoirse responds. "Well I am glad that we got you here safely, now I got the camera all ready to go. So what I want you two to do is stand right here in the doorway with your dad and grandmother and I will be in the middle while the timer clicks. Sound good? Ok then, let's take a picture and see how it turns out.

They all got in front of the exit of the plane's door and took their places for the picture to be taken. Ben and Saoirse were in the front middle while Conor was to the right, Don in the middle and Granny to the left. On of the flight stewardess set the timer to the camera that was on the tripod to ten seconds, this gave them enough time to set what kind of emotion they want to express to the camera. Conor gave a simple, not too big of a bright smile while holding everyone's passports in his right hand and his carry on his left hand. Granny did the same smile as Conor but for the children they gave the biggest smiles that anyone could do. "Tic tic tic flash" The camera went as the light went off. It took another one as well, one for Don and one for Ben, Saoirse, Conor, Granny and most importantly Cu. They left the plane waving a goodbye to Don who got them there safely. Now starts the adventure of Ben and Saoirse on their adventure to America and what great offers it has to offer.
