Hi! So, I told myself I wouldn't write a Dan and Phil fanfic...but here it is:)

Hope you enjoy the first chapter!

The strong currents of the deep blue ocean pushed through the rough waters as I continued to pump my tail in order to accelerate further as far as my fins could carry me.

"Don't let the Princess escape! We must bring her back to the kingdom for the sake of the king!" The distant voices of the Royal guards yelled out from behind as they chased after me. I closed my eyes and swam further into the vast ocean knowing I couldn't let them catch me for I refuse to carry on with tradition and be wed to some merman prince without my consent.

In my kingdom, royal families must be forced into arranged marriages with neighboring royal merfolk by the King's choice, in this case my father who is the Ruler of the Atlantic sea and King of Thalassa Kingdom, King Nereus. It was he, who forced upon this tradition to give my hand and be wedded to Prince Calder once I had turned the rightful age of twenty three. In response, I was purely against it for how could I go through an important part of my life marrying someone who I do not love and will never love for the sake of tradition? I will never learn to understand the concept. As a result, I had broken the sacred rule of tradition and escaped from the royal marital ceremony held within my father's kingdom and swam away from my ill-faded fate in order to live a life in my control and possibly find the one person I can truly fall in love with. Even if the love I find is a human living on the surface world.

I opened my eyes once again, turning my attention to look behind my shoulder where the guards were gaining an advantage as they were closing in by changing their mermen appearances into one of the top apex predators of the sea, sharks and leading ahead of them is the King's Royal commander, Tiburon in the form of a Great White. This shapeshifting magic is common with our kind and it is a choice whether to use it or not as this is how we disguise ourselves from the humans who enter our world. The Royal guards were easily gaining the upper fin as my strength began to falter. I needed to reach the surface world it was the only way to lose them.

"Princess, give up! You won't be to out swim us and escape! Surrender now!" The Tiburon yelled out as I could feel them closing in but I wasn't going to give up.

"No! Leave me alone!" I brought out my left hand from behind producing a wave of deep sea currents aimed at them in order to distract them but they dodged it in time proving ineffective.

"Don't use your powers against us, we don't want to hurt you, please understand!" The commander spoke out again as they continued to pursue me while I felt the last of my strength dwindling down. I closed my eyes once more hoping to use the last of my energy to out swim them and be freed from the sea as a familiar cry echoed in my ears.

"Fritz!" My voice spoke out in excitement and also relief as I turned my head again and caught the sight of my loyal companion in the entire sea, a bull Orca tread through the guards disrupting their formation as he bolted towards me and instantly I encircled my arms around his tall dorsal fin.

The currents of the ranging ocean flowed through my long wavy brown hair and violet hue tail as the guards were out matched by the speed of the Killer Whale and Fritz and I escaped with their images fading from my sight.

"Thank you so much for saving me, Fritz. If it wasn't for you, I would have been caught by now and forced into marrying Prince Calder." I spoke to him as I rested my fatigue body on his back while he communicated with me through dolphin dialect.

"I had to help you, Serena. You deserve to be happy in your life even it means for you to live on the surface world." Fritz let out as I smiled at him feeling happy to have a friend like him and I promised I'll see him again one day. All of a sudden, the deep ocean currents had grown stronger and unruly caused by the heavy storm raging above the shore. "Hang on, Serena!" Fritz shouted for me to listen as I tried to do what he asked but I wasn't strong enough and suddenly felt myself being swept away from my best friend. "Serena!" I heard him calling out to me as he desperately tried to swim after me but the currents were too strong and slowly slipped into unconsciousness while being pulled through the sea.

End P.O.V

The violent storm subsided throughout that night as the next morning, the ocean was calm once again as the waves gently lapped over sandy shores before retreating back to the sea and the sun radiating through the warm England coast. Summer weather took place once again as British internet personalities and best friends, Phil Lester and Dan Howell were enjoying their visit here in Brighton, East Sussex about an hour away from their flat in London.

Both men were on the beach to soak up the last minutes of nice weather before their upcoming schedules planning out their summer which included their radio show on BBC, Youtube conventions Vidcon, Playlist Live and London's own Summer in the City. Today, they were heading back to London after spending a few days with some of their friends who lived in this beautiful city. While the two of them walked down the warm sandy shores, something caught their eyes a few feet away into a small embankment behind several small sea rocks where a woman rested on her stomach in the dry sand wrapped in a dried up bed of kelp and appeared to be unconscious on the sand.

Phil's P.O.V:

"Phil! It's a girl washed up on the shores, we need to help her!" Dan's panicked voice filled my ears as my blue eyes were mainly focused on the girl lying on the sand several feet from us while my stomach instantly dropped.

Without hesitation, the both of us quickly rushed towards her hoping she was still alive even though none of us knew who she is. Once we reached her, I quickly kneeled down to her side as Dan rested his knees next to me while I began searching for a pulse by placing my fingers over her wrist and felt relieved to feel a faint heartbeat.

"She's alive but I don't think it's a good idea to just leave her here. She must have been caught in a shipwrecked and is probably alone. I'll feel bad leaving her here, Dan." I told him implying that we should take her to our flat as I didn't make contact with Dan because I was studying the girl who washed up from the ocean. The summer sun dried up her ocean soaked hair showing her shiny golden brown hues reaching past her shoulders in loose waves and long enough to cover her bare breasts.

'Get a hold of yourself, Phil…you only met this girl and now you're thinking about her topless body covered in hair and dried seaweed, don't be a pervert…'

The voice in my head lectured me while my eyes lingered to study her peach colored soft skin as her lips were a shade of coral and I wonder how they will feel against mine.

'Oh, god…I'm going mental. I shouldn't be thinking about kissing a poor girl I hardly know!' I screamed internally to myself as I felt drawn by her natural beauty.

"Hey…are you alright?" I spoke to her softly and gently shook her shoulder in order to wake her up and luckily she began to stir while her eyes began to open up showing the most gorgeous chocolate eyes I've ever seen.

"Miss, are you okay?" I asked her again as she looked at Dan and I before hearing her speak.

"I…I don't know…What happened? Where am I?" Her voice was soft and I noticed that she wasn't from here by her accent, it sounded slightly American.

"You're in Brighton, just an hour away from London, England. Phil and I found you here on the shore alone and we figured you must have been washed ashore considering the state you're in…" Dan let out as her eyes focused and blinked in response before her attention was drawn at her seaweed wrapped body noticing her visible legs.

"I finally made it to the surface…" She spoke out before closing her eyes and passing out suddenly as she must've been exhausted.

"Dan, we're taking her home with us. She doesn't have anywhere to go and we can't leave her like this…"I told him while he didn't disagree with my suggestion and knew exactly what I was thinking.

"Let's take her home…" He let out in response as I began to detangle her from the seaweed.

"Help me with this, Dan." I let out and he began to help me remove the dried up kelp realizing she was completely nude underneath as my heart pounded at the sight while Dan's face became fully red. "Dan hand me your over shirt so I can cover her." He hesitated for a few seconds before removing his white button short sleeve shirt with the moths on it and giving it to me. I used the shirt to carefully dress her in order to cover her chest and then grabbed my beach towel and wrapped it around the rest of her body as I easily lifted her up in my arms.

End P.O.V
