Last time on the Little Mermaid...
Sora worrying over his friends safety throws him overboard. As he himself was about to join, the ship still had the powder used for the fireworks…the ship blew up and sank.
Leaving the prince to fall into the sea, away from his sea crew and partner. And Nixie watched it all. She only had one thought after seeing the prince crash into the water unconscious…'I must save him!'
Present
The waves thrashed, dragging the princess away from the drowning boy. She fights the tide ignoring her friends shrieks.
The flames from the boat combine with chaotic sea. For a moment she loses sight of him, quickly. Battling the storm she grabs him, swimming to the closest piece of land possible
It feels like forever till they arrive. The prince constantly awakening only to have darkness take over once more. He remembers a flash of hair and a beautiful voice desperately demanding. "Hold on!"
He wants to stay awake, hearing the heartbreaking pleas. But is unable to keep his eyes open. Nixie seeing his wounds rushes to the sand and lays him on his back. Dewgong followed behind. Hoping her friend is alright.
The boys breathing is light, as if asleep but his wound on his side is irritated due to the seawater. Ripping off one of her scales the princess takes that and a piece of cloth that her pokemon had found.
Making a bandage…hoping he would heal with the magical properties of her mystical scales. She catches her breath…exhausted, resting her body near his…"What you did was so dangerous Nixie…"
A flipper raised in the air. "But it was selfless, brave and awesome!" High fin or high five? It mattered not. Both were happy that the handsome boy was safe. The sun broke through the night sky. "Oh look how it shines…"
It was amazing, for she had seen the sun under the sea, englow all. But seeing it first hand as it engulfs her with warmth…absolutely breathtaking. This is what she craved, adventures with memories like this.
Soon enough the prince's groans of pain alerted the mermaid, she was hoping to stay by his side to make sure he was ok…however it was not meant to be. A bell starts ringing.
The bell belonged to a church nearby the sandy shore. A group of woman came out, ready to begin their chores. Only to see three things, a tail, the splash of the sea and a wounded man. "Oh dear, what has happened?" One specific mortal, a young girl named Alice, rushed to his aid.
In terms of looks she was the exact opposite of the mermaid princess, her hair was black, not blonde, her eyes not a sea blue, but a deep forest green. She finds the patched wound, 'He was lucky…' She thought.
When he was first struck by the explosion his wound was puckered with sea water, though it had stopped bleeding, it was swollen and the gash was rather large. A few moments with the mermaids scale made a quick change of that.
The woman looks to the sea, noticing that the bandage was dry and most recent…'Could it be?' He opens his eyes mistaking this girl as his rescuer. "You…" He falls unconscious once more. "Oh no bring our Chansey at once! He needs help!"
Chansey the egg pokemon, A very kind pokemon, with it's remarkable intellect and desire to help it is greatly popular as a nurses aid.
Behind a set of rocks the sea child watches on, relieved that these people were willing to help him. 'He's safe.' She wouldn't dare reveal herself now…not in front of all those people. She and her companion head back to the sea.
It didn't take long for things to speed up. "There she is! We have found the princess." The guards took her separating her from her friend. "Nixie!" They try to reach each other but it was no use.
Soon enough she stood before her grandmother, father, and sisters whom had heard of her disappearance rushed back to help search for her. She saw looks of anger, worry, and relief.
"You have disobeyed our laws Nixie. We told you, you were not ready to go to the surface…because of your reckless desire you placed the whole palace into a panic." Certain sisters got into arguments over such.
She had expected as such, but what she id not expect was her grandmother to approach her, petting her hair. "Dear child I heard the sounds of the sea, is it true that you saved a humans life?"
She nods, not denying it, which brought the next question from the wise woman. "Would you do it again if given the chance?" She was honest. "Yes…if someone is hurt I would help them, it matters not if they're human, mermaid or pokemon."
Smiling the elder lady once more swims to her seat. "I think we have been underestimating her dear son, her heart is true and her mind is mature even if her body is not…I see no reason why she should be punished."
The sea king looks at his mother in horror. "What are you saying mother? She disobeyed us, put herself in great danger she-" A wrinkled hand is raised. "Yes but in doing so she saved a life whom would've drowned otherwise."
There is silence, any and all protest were stopped. The youngest princess dares not hope. But she meets the twinkling eyes. "It may be a bit early but I believe she is ready to go out on her own adventures."
Trusting his mother's instincts and admiring his daughter(despite his distaste of her other actions.) he agrees, and overjoyed Nixie dances around hugging and kissing her family.
After that everyone within the region started to prepare for her ceremony. It is an age ritual, there would be a performance by the sisters, there would be a feast, but more importantly.
Nixie would receive the flower hairpiece, a family heirloom and a sign that she is ready to start out on her own adventures. Dewgong her partner would accompany her on her travels, she would sea the under and upper worlds…(hehe pun) Her time has come.

Author Notes: So what'd you guys think? Good? Strange? Feedback would be wonderful.
(So long as it could help me, giving me reviews or messages of the story saying "it sucks" saddens me( and I have gotten it for other stories) and if that's how you feel don't read it.)
