Miranda swam through the aqua waves and finally broke through the surface to enjoy celebrations that now, after twelve years the sea and the land was reunited once again thanks to Princess Melody. Miranda joined her adopted mother whom she calls Aunt Attina near a cove with some of Attina's real children all around her age and their friends.

"See I told you I am part human because my uncle is human, my aunt is human and my cousin is human!" 10-year-old Coral bragged to some of her friends.

"Quit being stupid Corrie, Aunt Ariel wasn't born human, she was made one so you aren't human." Coral's 15-year-old sister, Angeline said.

"Angie, don't be mean to your sister! Oh look Miranda is here, why don't you two go talk to Melody?" Attina suggested.

"Whatever," Angeline whispered.

"Okay," Miranda said. Miranda always felt that Angeline was a little hostile to her because sometimes Angeline thought that Attina cared more about her than Angeline so to make Angeline happy she had to do whatever she said.

"Where is super, duper 'I screwed up but some how saved the ocean' girl?" Angeline scowled.

"Talking with a penguin." Miranda said.

"Don't be dumb like Cora- and Ohmigosh she found a penguin! Where has that confused desperate wanna be teen been?" Angeline said. Angeline had been a bit jealous of Melody's attention. Usually on this day Miranda and Angeline would have a joint birthday party since Miranda's birthday was two days ago and Angeline's was yesterday so there was no need for extra cake. But right now they had to celebrate the glory of Melody reuniting the sea.

"Hello Melody, I'm your cousin, Angeline and this is your adopted cousin Miranda." Angeline spoke briskly.

"Hi Angeline, Hi Miranda." Melody said kindly.

"So like swell you reunited everyone. And sorry I gotta go 'cause it's John Stare at six o'clock." Angeline puffed up her blonde hair and took off for her crush.

"Miranda, how are you my adopted cousin, 'cause you like a cross of my mom and dad. To tell you the truth Angeline looks to be the adopted one." Melody giggled.

"Really? Angeline and your mom have the same eye color though," Miranda suggested? "But how do I look like a cross of your mom and dad?"

"Well, you have my mom's rare red hair and my dad's grayish bluish eyes." Melody said.

"Okay, kindda creepy. But I have no idea how I am related to this family. So yeah." Miranda said.

"Alright then, you are so lucky to live in Atlantica with cousins that like you and just the magic of the sea." Melody mused.

"Wha- have you met Angeline and 'magic of the sea' nothing magic about swimming around looking at random slabs of colored coral. You are lucky I mean just from the outside your castle looks to joint still and solid and beautiful and you sky changes color. You don't know what it is like to have blue all around you 365 days of the year, princess. I get's depressing."

"Call me Melody, please? And so what, I like all the colors of the sea and blue. Better than rows and rows of white homes." Melody begged.

"Sure, why not. Kay so Melody how old are you." Miranda asked lazily.

"Turn twelve two days ago."

"Ohmigosh same!"

"April 15th?"

"Yeah"

"Wow, we are like twins or the princess and the pauper."

"Well I guess we know who the princess is."

"Oh well, wow I cannot believe we have so many similarities yet so many differences!"

"Sure."

"You have to meet my mom; wow I cannot wait to tell her about you!"

"Wha- Kay!"

"Mom, this Miranda, Aunt Attina's adopted child right? Yeah, Mom me and Miranda have so much in common, we have the same birthday, we both look like a cross of you and dad but she likes this human world. Mom, what's wrong."

"Nothing Melody dear. Nice to meet you Miranda, I'll be right back." With that Ariel took off to search for her husband.

*******This might sound weird but I was bored okay, when I wrote this. Teachers don't give HW now, they wait until winter break! So this HW less chick just wrote a chapter of a story that she did out of boredness. Should I continue, 'cause I think I got a good idea going on idk. And yeooo Mr. C went with us on a class trip to Whistler yesterday and slipped down like half a hill and I, Ashlyn the Awesome got it on tape and begging him to get it on FB.
