What if
There's always that question: what if. Well maybe the what if actually happened.
One: What if Cedric got the mermaid comb
Episode: The Floating Palace.
"Oona, I'm sorry."
Sofia's voice was soft as the sea monster had her new friend's magic comb on one of his tentacles.
"I just can't believe it," Oona muttered in surprise. "He has my comb. But I'm not upset with you Sofia."
"But I... If only I swam a little faster..." Sofia trailed off, back in her human form, her head hung in deplore.
"You're still working on being a mermaid. I wouldn't had expected you to just be able to swim quickly."
"I know but—"
"Oh enough of the pity party!" The sea monster groaned in annoyance, poking Sofia with one of the edges of the magic comb.
"Can you please just let her go? Please?" Sofia begged, staring at the sea monster for a moment. His hair did look familiar as a realization came to her. "Mr. Ceedric? Why?"
"Why? I'll never answer that. But I'll let the mermaid go now that I have the comb."
"Thank you."
"But on one condition," Cedric smiled at the child, wrapping her waist with one of his tentacles.
"Okay," Sofia agreed. "I'll do anything Mr. Ceedric."
Cedric narrowed his eyes at the child who stared at him in a sense of hurt and betrayal.
"Don't tell anyone about this."
"That wouldn't be fair. Oona's mom will sink my family's ship if she doesn't have Oona back!"
"Boo hoo Princess Sofia," Cedric mocked, squeezing her waist a little tighter. "I'm waiting for your decision."
"I won't say anything," Sofia wheezed, tears filling her eyes. "I promise."
Cedric unwrapped the tentacle from Sofia's waist as the young girl panted heavily before patting her forehead.
"Good girl."
