'ello. Okay. So the boat they are in is a yacht.

Part I

A Danish boy stood on deck breathing in the breeze. Yes, this had to be one of the best way to spend a day. He turned to face the other two Nordic boys. What a perfect day for a boat ride! Don't you think so guys?"

"Yeah," the blonde hair replies while flipping a page in the book, "now let me read."

"Ice?"

"Uh-huh. Sure." The younger teen leans on the rail and looks out at the horizon. "Just perfect."

"Come on guys. Smell the ocean and soak in the sunlight."

No one replies. Not even the puffin on Iceland's shoulder. About five minutes later, Denmark breaks the silence. "Nor, what are you reading?"

"About an idiot who drags everyone to a boat ride."

Iceland adds more to the sentence, "And that idiot ruins the fun because he can't stay silent for more than five minutes."

"No way! You read the book too, Ice?"

"Ugh." Iceland rolls his eyes and leans on the rails again. Didn't Denmark had any idea they made it up? And- Iceland's thoughts are interrupted.

"Denmark..." Norway is up from his seat facing Denmark who has Norway's book in hand.

Denmark notices that Iceland is watching. "Ice! Catch!"

"Ah!" Iceland barely catches the book. "You almost hit Mr Puffin!"

"He's perfe-" Denmark ducks from Iceland's throw.

Norway catches the book. "Enough."

Giggles are heard. All three turn and see mermaids on the rocks. Denmark immediately greets them and Iceland is too surprised to say anything.

"Hello." The first mermaid respond while brushing her hair.

The second mermaid stares at them intently. "That game looked fun. Perhaps I will be able to join someday."

The third mermaid has a conversation with Denmark for a few minutes, then warns them of a storm approaching and that they should leave soon. Denmark thanks them for the warning. She leaps back into the ocean along with the other mermaid.

Only one mermaid is left and she stares directly at Iceland. "Please be careful." And she dives into the ocean.

Iceland blushes slightly and Denmark pats him hard in the back. The puffin is almost knocked over in the process and shouts in protest, "Watch it punk!"

Norway looks across. They're too far and the mainland can't be spotted. They'll never reach on time.

Iceland has noticed too. "Aren't we too far?"

"I'll try to get to land as fast as possible." Denmark reassures them.

The clouds have worsen and the waves are unfriendly. What's worse is that they haven't advanced enough for land is still to far away. Soon they are caught in a storm. Denmark tries his best to steer the boat to one of the small islands he saw halfway to the coast. The boat struggles to stay afloat as the waves keep hitting it.

Norway grabs on to Iceland to make sure he doesn't falls, and Iceland hugs Mr Puffin for protection. But their grip is broken when the yacht is hit hard on the side. Iceland is sliding across and is about to fall off the boat when Norway grabs him and drags him back to safety.

"Puffin overboard!" Iceland and Norway turn and see the puffin in the ocean waving both it's wings up, struggling to stay above the surface.

"Mr Puffin!" Iceland is about ready to plunge after him when he is stopped by Norway.

"Iceland!"

"Let me go!"

"No!"

"He might drown!"

"I'm sorry. We can't do anything right now..." Iceland is on the verge of tears and Norway comforts him.

"Don't worry Ice! We'll go and search for him as soon as the storm is over." Denmark gives a small smile for hope. "But for the moment- hold on tight!"

Okay. Hope that wasn't too confusing. Ahh, I'm not familiar about boats and sailing,etc.

What I do now is that the yacht they have in this story is a day sailing yacht, which doesn't has a cabin.

Here's a link to a website .

(to give an idea how the yacht in the story looks like).
