Chapter 2: Mermaid?

I woke up by hearing people whisper around me, and I slowly opened my eyes. What I saw made me freeze. These weren't people, they were mermaids and mermen. Like those in one piece. A mermaid with black hair and freckles "walked" to me and asked if I was okay.

Okay? OKAY!? What the hell did she mean by OKAY!? NO, I was not OKAY! My back hurt, I was surrounded by weird creatures, I had no idea where I was, I had a FIN instead of legs and she asked me if I was OKAY!? I understood that she only meant good but still… I was not okay. But because I was shy I didn't dare to say that and only said a quiet "yes, thank you. Um… Could you tell me where I am?"

The mermaid looked surprised and then said. "You're outside the mermaid café. You just fell down from the sky and have been lying here unconscious for about ten minutes. Are you okay?" She asked again.

"Y… Yeah… WAIT, WHAT!? MERMAID CAFÉ?"
The mermaid twitched.

"Yes. Is there some kind of problem?"

"A problem? Well Maybe… If I'm outside a mermaid café surrounded by mermaids and mermen… Wouldn't that mean that I… I… I'M AT MERMAID ISLAND!? But that's impossible! NO! I must be dreaming!"

The mermaid backed off a bit and looked worried. "A… Anyway, Madam Shirley wanted to see you…"

"Madame Shirley? Now I have to go too someone who doesn't exist, on an Island that doesn't exist, in a world that doesn't exist!?"
The mermaid looked at a group of mermaids behind her with a look that screamed after help.

"What should I do?" She asked them.

"Dunno, Just bring her inside the café." Said a mermaid with long, blue, wavy hair.
The first mermaid nodded and started to pull my arm, trying to get me to move.
I unwillingly sat up and she gave me a pink coral of some sort. I remembered it from the anime and pressed the top of it. As I thought, a bubble appeared and I sat down on it.

"Now come." She said and started to walk towards the café. I followed.

I know I said that this chapter would be longer than the first one but i'm out of imagination and it was a good ending for a chapter so...

I'm going to say that the mermaids are walking when they glide forward on their bubbles, just so you know.
