(Melody's point of view)
Today is a day of celebration, the celebration of two worlds reuniting again for the first time in twelve years. This will be the first time that people from my kingdom have been in the see in almost as long, I can't wait I will have the chance to meet all my mer family and swim freely with my mother and father.
The bright orange sun beamed down on us a stark constrast to the dark cooling waters we were swimming in but that's what I like about this world. The water is always just enough to cool you down and the sun is always enough to make you hot. The perfect mixture and for along time a thought that my mother didn't understand this but the truth is she does her only reason for trying to keep me out of the sea was for my own safety. I don't regret any of my actions though because if I hadn' done all that then no one would be able to swim freely again.
I was swimming with some new friends, just minding my own business when I suddenly bumped into someone. My intial thought was to apologise but as I turned round to see whom it was a bumped into all cohert thoughts were abruptly halted as I was greeted with the most lucious blue eyes I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.
My teenage mind made my eyes wander up and down his body only for them to settle on staring at is lips even though in the back of my mind I knew it wasn't a good idea my hormones took over and who was I stop them ? I don't know how long I was staring for before I managed to utter "err... I'm sorry" I must have looked like a right weirdo because when I finally managed to drag my eyes away from him long enough to look around I noticed all my friends were gone and just as I was about to swim off I was stopped.
"so you're the missing princess then" I knew it was statement not a question but my stupid teen mind just wouldn't enjoy it's self unless it was humilliating me/us, "Well yeah. Sort of, I guess although I'm not missing anymore" oh yeah so very illiterate and as if he didn't realise I was no longer lost, I swear I should have been blonde. A small smile played at the corner of his mouth and it was obvious he was trying not to laugh so I just rolled my eyes an muttered "go ahead"
