I picked up the bottle. It had a note in it. So I read it. It said:

Meet me on the 3rd October -Ed

I stared at the message blankly. Then I blinked a few times. Have I read this right? He couldn't possibly mean me, could he? It might not even be the same Ed. No, what were the chances of that? No, he had to mean me, it had to be the same Ed. So for the next six weeks that was the only thing that kept me going.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today was the day. I was going to meet Ed. But where? He probably ment the bank. Yes, I would go to the bank. There was no time, so I got up early and swam to the bank. I waited there all day. Nothing. But I wasn't about to give up. It was getting on for midnight and I was about to give up, when at 11:59 Someone came. It was Ed. "Ed!" I called gleefully.

"Thank goodness Marine I didn't know you would know anything, How long have you been here?" He asked

"All day," I replied. I sighed and looked into the water. "Ed I can't keep doing this."

Ed frowned "Doing what?"

"On and off seeing eachother, Ed, that note was the one thing that kept me going these past weeks. The thing is you're leaving again. If we keep seeing eachother like this its going to hurt me. I'd rather us not meet again." I begun to swim away when Ed jumped into the water after me.

"Marine listen! I'm sorry! I didn't think about you! I'm really sorry! I picked this day because...well because...today was the day me and Al burnt our house down." I gasped and looked at him. I knew all about Eds past. Then there was a thunder clap.

The sea started going in tsunami sized waves. It was hard to fight it even with a big, heave tail. I looked for Ed. The waves had swept him away. "ED!" I called out. I swam off to find him. It was chaos. One minute our hands were clasped and the next he was on the other side of the ocean. A waved pushed me against a rock an my back started bleeding. All of a sudden Ed came flying towards me. His body pressed against mine and...so did has lips. When the waves dragged Ed back I didn't care about the kiss...I just wanted Ed save. But then there was this awful pain in my back and then everything went black.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up on the shore and tried to move my tail. It didn't work. Two things moved instead. Oh god my tail hasn't split in two has it...SHIT??!! I HAD LEGS! I quickly got up and looked at my body. "Ed! Ed! I have legs! I'm human again!" I called. He didn't answer. Then I realised that he must be out there. I don't know how I knew how to do it, but I ran up to the rock and slammed my hand against it. Suddenly I got my tail back and went to find Ed.

I found Ed. He was lying in the water, not to far from shore. For some reason the water around him was red. I smiled and tried to wake Ed. "Ed. Ed!" After a while he woke up with a moan. I carried on smiling until he sat up fully and I noticed that his cheek was heavily bleeding. "I did that to you," I sniffed, putting my head down as I recalled me whacking him with my tail to prise him off me, so I could get us both to safety. I began to cry. "Ed I'm sorry." Ed stayed silent. "I didn't mean it...I'm sorry...I just...I'm sorry...It was an accident...kind of...I'm sorry I'm so sorry please forgive me I'm so-"

I was interuppted by Eds hand. It was on my shoulder. I looked at him. "Don't worry, I know you didn't mean it, apology accepted, I forgive you." He smiled. I smiled.

"Oh yeah! Ed look!" I ran up to the rock and pressed my hand against it again. I got my legs back. "Ed you broke the curse!"

"Me?" Ed had a confused look on his face.

"Yeah I'm pretty sure!" I outstretched my hand. Ed took it.

"Thank you," he said.

"No, thank you," I said kissing him on the cheek. We walked up the beach hand in hand.
