Penelope was given a letter from her mermaid pen pal and came to her father. "Daddy, can I go visit my friend Mindy?" she asked. "She sent me a letter saying she wants to meet up some time, can you turn me into a mermaid?"

"Very well, but Atticus will have to come with you." Drell said.

"Aw, come on!" Penelope pouted. "Why can't I go alone?"

"There's a cyclops in the ocean and where he is impervious to magic." Drell told her firmly.

"Oh..." Penelope said. "Um, how bad could it be?"

"Don't tempt it..." Drell warned. "Hasn't your friend Mindy warned you about him?"

"You know what, maybe it would be safe if had someone with muscles and incredible strength to come along with me." Penelope smiled nervously, now remembering what her pen pal had warned her about.

"Mm-hmm..." Drell nodded to her.

"Uh, sorry, Dad..." Penelope said then, nervous that he was probably mad at her due to her snarky behavior just then.

"Anyway, we should go get Atticus, so then you both can get to your pen pal." Drell said.

"Uh, yes, sir..." Penelope nodded. "Thank you, Daddy."

"Sure, dear." Drell smiled to her. "Go get yourself ready."

Penelope then walked off to get ready to meet her underwater pen pal.

"SKIPPY!" Drell yelled out.

Skippy was right behind him and tapped his shoulder.

"Ah, there you are," Drell said once he turned around to see Skippy. "We're going to be getting Atticus."

Skippy smirked slightly.

"What?" Drell asked him.

Skippy tilted his head and smiled cutely as he took out a lollipop and licked it.

"Okay, I love Atticus, he's a good kid, he's like the son I never had..." Drell admitted.

Skippy smirked out of victory. Drell smiled gently before pounding Skippy on the head. Skippy grunted as his hat covered his eyes and he was having a hard time getting around.

"Come here, darling, let's visit Atticus before you see Mindy." Drell told Penelope.

Penelope nodded and went over to her father and uncle.

"Let's get going then." Penelope said.

Drell nodded as Skippy struggled and they then went off to the Fudo house.

Atticus was playing video games with Cherry and Mo on the couch as it was what felt like an extremely normal day, at least, so far.

"I'm finally gonna beat you today, Cherry." Atticus said.

"Noooope..." Cherry replied as her eyes didn't leave the screen.

"Oh, really?" Atticus smirked as he started to use a combo of his own.

"That's cheating!" Cherry whined.

"No, it's not, it's called making up your own combo." Atticus smirked as he finally beat Cherry at a game.

"I hate you..." Cherry narrowed her eyes. "I hope you get crushed by marshmallows."

"Hello, Atticus!" Drell smiled as he, Penelope, and Skippy appeared in the room.

"Oh, great, it's you..." Cherry glanced at the warlock.

"Quiet in your house..." Penelope noticed.

"Darla's visiting Dusk." Atticus explained.

"That explains it." Penelope said.

"Anyway, Atticus, Penelope is going to be visiting her mermaid pen pal and is gonna need you to come with her." Drell said to Atticus.

"Penelope, your pen pal's a mermaid?" Atticus asked.

"Her name's Mindy, she's King Neptune's daughter." Penelope explained.

"How big is Neptune?" Atticus asked.

"Oh, about god size, which would be giant." Drell said.

"Bigger than you?" Cherry smirked.

"Don't start with me." Drell glared.

Cherry stuck her tongue out. Drell wanted to hurt her, but couldn't since Atticus was in the room.

"Alright," Atticus stood up. "Hey, Mo, Cherry, how'd you like to become mermaids with me this time?" he then offered. "You both can now and since this isn't a family thing, you can come too."

"Only if we're invited, sure." Mo smiled to the offer.

"Just as long as it isn't like when we became mermaids with Sabrina and almost got stuck forever." Cherry added in.

"Oh, alright." Drell pouted.

"Have you heard of her, Atticus?" Penelope asked. "Her name's Mindy."

"I think my mom mentioned her once." Atticus said.

"Do you have a picture of her on you, Penelope?" Mo prompted.

Penelope conjured up a photograph of her pen pal to show a green-skinned mermaid with a golden bracelet on her right arm, a short-sleeved pink top with a red heart on it with a darker green tail fin and short dark blue hair with round black glasses and a tiny yellow bow in her hair.

"Yeah, that's definitely the description my mom gave." Atticus said.

"So we can meet her, Daddy?" Penelope asked.

"I suppose you could spend the week under the sea..." Drell replied.

"Are you coming with us?" Cherry asked nervously.

"I think I'll pass on this one," Drell replied. "It'll help me finish up some work."

Skippy nodded in agreement.

"Looks like Atticus is gonna be surrounded by females alone." Penelope said.

"Sounds like my graduation party..." Drell shuddered slightly.

"I think I'll survive." Atticus said.

"So we can go?" Penelope asked.

"I don't see why not," Drell smiled. "Behave yourselves now, now you can spend a week under the sea. Starting... Right... NOW!" he then sent them off which transported them into the ocean as a merboy and mermaids.

"This is so exciting." Mo said before seeing how ripped Atticus looked as a merboy.

Atticus smiled to Mo before winking to her.

Mo squealed slightly and put her hand over her chest. "Oh, my..."

"Okay... Anyway, we better get to King Neptune's castle." Penelope said.

"Do you know the way?" Cherry asked.

"I'm sure we'll be able to find it, if we hurry, we can get there before nightfall when Neptune has his Royal Court." Penelope shrugged, then started swimming one way.

The others followed, then passed an estranged sign that said 'Bikini Bottom'. It took them a while but they were finally able to find King Neptune's castle. It was the middle of the day as the sun shined from the surface. Penelope knocked on the castle front door and waited for an answer.

However, a fish who walked on two fins like they were legs answered and was dressed like a squire. "Yes?"

"Um, we're here to see Princess Mindy." Penelope said.

"Princess Mindy?" the fish squire asked. "And who might you be?"

"Just tell her Penelope's here," the witchling told the fish. "She'll know what it means."

"Of course, wait right here." The fish told them.

"I knew I could handle this..." Penelope smirked. "So, uh, Atticus, how do you know Princess Mindy, is she a cousin of yours?"

"My mom told me one time that my uncle, King Triton had a brother named Neptune named after their father and then she told me since Mindy is King Neptune's daughter, that would also make us cousins." Atticus said.

"Wait, I thought Triton married your mom's sister, Athena?" Cherry scratched her head.

"Yes, he did and where my mom married my dad." Atticus said before bringing out a family tree.

"Ah, great, I just had to say something, now he's gonna lecture me..." Cherry groaned.

"You see, Uncle Triton and Uncle Neptune are brothers and since Aunt Athena got married to Uncle Triton, that makes Ariel my cousin and then there's Uncle Neptune and-Oh, I forgot my other aunt's name." Atticus groaned.

'Nice..." Cherry mumbled.

The squire fish came back. "You may enter."

"Thanks." Penelope said as she and the others then went inside the underwater castle.

"Maybe the name will come to me later on." Atticus said.

"We could always ask..." Mo merely shrugged as she was a lot more used to her tail fin now and could swim as well as the others.

Atticus smiled. "You're getting a lot better."

"I practiced sometimes when I'd take the dogs to the park and I'd go for a dip while they'd play until dinner time." Mo smiled back.

"That's a perfect way to get practice done." Atticus said.

"Yeah, I love swimming in that lake..." Mo smiled. "It's never too cold or too warm."

Atticus smiled back, feeling glad that he was able to make her into a mermaid like him and the others. Now maybe he could introduce her to the family...
