Coming back to the hotel was quick as we left, and I was feeling a little nauseous after zipping out to ocean and back to land. I groaned weakly as my arms drooped over Sirena's shoulders as we were directly under the docks to the hotel as our heads were above the surface.
"Are you holding up okay?" Nixie asked me with sympathy and a little concern. I nod as I "peel" myself off of Sirena. "Just a little dizzy and nauseous," I said as Sirena held me in her arms.
"I guess he's not used to speed swimming yet," Sirena gently said as she looks at me. "Speed swimming?" I asked with interest. Lyla smiles with a nod, "all mer-folk have this ability, and it allows us to swim faster to places we want to go."
"How fast?" I asked in curiosity.
"600 kilometers per hour," Nixie said. Quickly I convert it into miles in my head. "So that's 372 Miles per hour, impressive" I said with a smile.
Then we heard footsteps on the docks above us. "Is that my little brother I hear?" I voice asked in a joking/teasing matter. I scoffed in amusement. "Little?!" I asked as I looked up at the docks. "I'm older than you! Have you forgotten your serial number DLN-008?"
"But you are the shortest Robot Master, DLN-005," Elec Man points out.
"I'd like to see you say that to my face!" I said jokingly, and then I saw Elec looking under the docks. "Make me!" he jokes back. I felt a sudden burst of wind pass from under us and heard it come through the wooden docks. Elec Man stopped looking under the docks, but I heard him yell in surprise before hearing a splash a few feet away from my right. I turned and looked to see Elec breaking the water surface.
"Brother!" he yelled in a little anger in disbelief.
"It was me," I heard Sirena said with a playful tone in her voice. Elec and I looked at her and she was smiling as she put her arm back in the water. "Next time you should be careful what you say around your brother when he learns how to control his new powers."
Elec chuckles in amusement as he swims over to us. "I know my own brother would never harm me, right Ice?" Elec says as he now looks at me. "I know I wouldn't. But I suggest you keep one eye open when you're recharging, brother," I said teasingly.
Elec rolls his eyes. "Anyways, Dr. Light is planning on taking us to a water park later today. He takes it that you can't go because of…" then gestures to my mer-bot form. "I know and I'll be fine. We might have some fun on our own," I smile. "Alright," Elec says and he climbs out of the water using the dock. I smile as I looked at the girls, "so where do I start?"
Sirena gently takes my hand, "let's do this in the Moon Pool so no one can see us. Then you can start." So we went under the water again and I watched the girls on when they started to swim. They had their arms out in a V shape with hands stacked on top of each other. I copied and started to follow them, relaxing my body as it moved up and down gently like the waves. I caught up to them and Sirena smiles with pride. I guess learning how to swim is lesson number one. I thought to myself as I smiled back at her.

I want to apologize for my readers out there for my long term absence of making Fanfiction. When Christmas break was finally over, I was planning on making more stories, I know this doesn't excuse anything but I still got caught up with time at work and at home. Since I'm the only one in the family who has a part time job, when I'm home alone, I'm stuck taking care of the dog, doing dishes, my own laundry and taking out the trash. And when I scheduled to have a few days off, despite doing stuff at home, I got lazy again. But from now on, I promise I'll say something when I get busy with work on my DeviantART channel so you viewers can know. Right now, I'm having writer's block for Chapter Two of The Mecha Merman, and for those who gave me Cuphead requests, I'll try to get around them. But for now, I decided to temporarily stop making Cuphead fics and request stories because I want to start making Mega Man fics and request stories.
So if any of you want me to make a Mega Man requested fanfiction, just reply in my PM. I'll get around to it when I can, okay? And please, nothing weird okay? Okay.
