King Alfred swam into the dining room. He was waiting for his royal adviser, Micheal, to announce the arrival of his children. Oh how he loved his children. He sat down at the head of the table and looked to Micheal with a small smile on his face. "May I present to you, Your Majesty, your children" Micheal looked to the doorway and opened the door "Your sons Oliver, Noah, and Jacob Taylor" the three boys came in and took their seats. "And your daughters Flora, Samantha, Sophia, Diana, and Kimberly." Four of the girls came in taking their seats. Micheal looked to the doorway slightly panicked, King Alfred rose from his seat and growled. "Where is Kimberly?" Micheal looked at him worriedly and held onto the wall to prevent him from fainting. "I..I don't know Your Majesty." King Alfred glared angrily, he hated it when his daughter was never here for dinner. He yelled loudly and slammed his fist into the table. The other children looked at him full of fear, he noticed this and tried to calm himself. King Alfred looked at Micheal saying "When you see her tell her to come to me immediately." Micheal nodded and swam off.
Kimberly giggled softly as she swam toward the sunken ship. "Come on Lon! There is bound to be some human treasure in here!" Lon looked at her softly, he was a bit afraid of going into the ship and frowned. "What if there are sharks or evil witches?" "There are no sharks down here silly!" She retorted "and the only evil witch is Uncle Arthur, he lives far away from here" She smiled brightly and swam into the ship, pulling Lon along with her. They looked around, beginning to pick up many things they believed were treasures. Suddenly a giant shadow appeared behind Lon that made him jump slightly. "What was that?" "What was what Lon?" Kimberly replied as she was admiring a fork. Lon turned around to see a enormous shark behind him and swam behind Kimberly in fear. "Th...that." She looked at the shark wide eyed and swam off, pulling Lon with her. "Come on we gotta get out of here!" She noticed a small porthole and swam toward it. She squeezed through and helped Lon through the porthole. After the shock and fear of the shark, the two decided to swam back to the castle. But just as they were about to reach the gate, Micheal stopped them. "Where were you, Kimberly?" He questioned "Do you have any idea how mad your father is right now?" She slapped her head softly. "Dinner! I completely forgot." She sighed and slipped into the castle, handing Lon all their treasures "Put this with the rest okay?" She told him, and he replied with a soft nod.
King Alfred was pacing up and down the hallway, waiting for Kimberly to arrive. He was fuming mad for her missing dinner but was more worried about the danger she may have gotten into. Suddenly he saw her familiar black hair in front of him. He frowned softly and captured her in a tight bear hug. "Where were you Kimberly? You missed dinner and I was so worried. You better not have been interacting with humans! You know the rules!" She looked up at him softly "Yes Father I know and I was just exploring the sea with Lon." She replied quickly and hugged him back. "You will make it to dinner tomorrow no matter what. I am having Micheal keep an eye on you." She sighed and nodded, breaking the hug to head to her room. King Alfred watched her leave and headed to his room for the night. Kimberly popped her head out of the window and looked at the spectacle happening above the surface. Lon swam to her window with a small smile. "I put the stuff in our collection an-" He followed her gaze and looked back at her. "Wanna check it out?" She looked at him happily and nodded, swimming out of her window "Yes please! I want to see it so badly!" "Then come on!" He grabbed her hand and swam up to the surface. The two of them hid on the side of the ship, till Kimberly decided to take a peak at the scene going on.
Prince Magnolia was dancing around with his shipmates happily while his dog Jackson was roaming around the ship. Kimberly smiled softly as she watched him dance around. She then forgot about everything else and focused solely on him. Suddenly Francis stopped the music and walked over to Magnolia. "Your highness, I have a special present made for you on your most important of birthdays" Francis walked over to the a cloth covered present and took off the cloth. Everyone looked wide eyed at the statue made in Magnolia's likeness. "Uh...Well thanks Francis" Magnolia replied and looked at the statue. Francis smiled proudly at the statue and took a step back, bumping into the sail of the ship. The sail hit one of the crew members on the head, dropping the firework onto the ship. Before they knew it, The ship began to sink. All the crew members began to crowd onto the life boat but they didn't get Magnolia in time, and he began to drown.
Kimberly swam over to the drowning Magnolia, and swam him to shore soon after the crew arrived. She sat on the shore, holding the passed out prince close and began to sing to him. Lon popped up next to her and looked worried. "Kimberly you can't help a human! You're dad is gonna freak!" "Lon I was going to let him die" She combed her fingers through his hair continuing her song. She looked at him lovingly. She couldn't let him die, he was the most extravagant human she had ever seen. She started to notice him regaining consciousness and kisses his head softly. Suddenly she heard a dog coming over to them, and laid the prince down. She then dove into the ocean and hide from the dog.
Magnolia sat up confused and held his head. He couldn't get the sound of the mysterious woman's song out of his head. He looked to the sky, remembering what the woman looked like. Black hair, violet eyes, and soft pink lips. He was determined to find the woman and make her his wife. He looked at his dog, Jackson and pet him softly. "Who was that, boy? Whoever she is, I can't get her out of my head."
"My My. What a mess you have gotten yourself into my little niece. But don't worry, Uncle Arthur will help you my dear."
