It was a beautiful day out in Miami, Florida. Pop sensation Austin Moon was taking a breather from his world tour that had just ended. His best friends Dez and Trish were at their homes, resting for school to kick back up in August, while he, himself, was laying on the cool sand relaxing peacefully. It was the beginning of June, because school had let out on the 28th of May 2014. Austin's junior year was finally over, and he was now a senior in high school, as well as for Trish and…hard to believe this…Dez.

As Austin relaxed, he started to drift off into a deep sleep when a voice from out of the blue rose through the air. This made Austin's eyes shoot back open, and made him sit up straight and look out at sea with a look of pure shock written all over his face.

The seven colored wind blows, across the long plateau, at the peek, a nostalgic song was playin'.

And before the dawn, I could hear a melody, and I knew; that this song, would only bring joy and love.

The voice was singing in pure beauty, and somehow, Austin couldn't help but be mesmerized by it. It was so graceful and pure, and it had something that not even Trish possessed when she'd sing. It sounded like it had a mythical sound to it.

Look to the east, what do you see, little birds flyin' far away.

They, are flyin' off to a place, full of love, it's like a treasure.

The seven seas have always been my paradise,

A place where all my love in my heart's realized,

Even after a night in the storm,

The joy in my heart can always be reborn!

Listen to the melody of seven lands,

It will always be here 'til the very end,

Even if no one remembers this,

I won't forget,

The legend of the sea.

Austin stood up and looked out at sea and passed the horizon. "Who is that? Where is that voice coming from?" He asked himself.

"When all the clouds clear, rainbows will appear, then at night, all the stars will sparkle like pearls." The voice of the girl singing continued for her father, the king of the sea, King Lester Triton. He carried his golden yellow triton everywhere he went, for it possessed the power of the sea. If it got into the wrong hands, well then it would bye-bye to his kingdom, Atlantis.

"Like the changin' sky, I'll be changin' too, but I know, that the sea; will always help me be strong. My time to grow up, has finally come, I will live my life happily. From, the southern skies, I hear, whistling, I will fight on…" The girl continued to sing, with beauty and grace. Her father couldn't have been more proud of his little girl, and he loved how much her voice had improved over the years. She was sounding like her mother when she'd sing now.

"I'll set out on an adventure 'cross the world, I'll go on a life journey and embrace my pearl, night seems like it's a fantasy; falling stars will make my wish come true!" The girl twirled around with the help of her fin, considering that she was a mermaid princess. "A very special prayer brings tears to my eyes, without the loving sea there's no way I'd survive, the light in our hearts will illuminate, a future that we cannot wait to see!" The mermaid princess was just about done with her song. "Listen to the melody of seven lands, it will always be here 'til the very end, even if no one remembers this, I won't forget, the legend of the sea." Once the mermaid princess was done, she opened her eyes, revealing them to be a captivating sea blue, and bowed to her father.

"Thank you Allison. You may go now, and I don't ever want to hear that you went up to the surface again...is that clear!" King Lester said. Allison then swam off, with tears tempting her eyes.

"I'm telling you guys! Someone is out there!" Austin said to his friends when they arrived at the beach.

"Maybe it was a mermaid!" Dez said, sounding excited.

"There are no such things as mermaids, Bozo!" Trish said, hitting Dez on the arm. "Maybe you were just hearing things, Austin."

"I know what I heard, Trish." Austin said, standing his ground. He looked out to the distance and sighed. "And I'm going to find her."
