He was in a room that was not his and he was on a ship that wasn't his family's ship. When he looked around he saw three boys resting at the table, he didn't know them although two looked familiar but he could not remember how he knew them, he spotted a tiger hiding under the table. It was then he saw his childhood friend pacing the floor near the bed, worry was etched on his face.

"Stop pacing, you're going to make me sick." Sage said making his friend stop and look at him, shocked that he had spoken.

"I'm so relieved. You had me so worried." Rowen said as he helped Sage sit up.

"So I could tell. Where is my family?" Sage replied.

"They are in Tim's cabin; Tim is sleeping with the crew until we reach Port Dranzer." Rowen explained.

"Who are they?" Sage asked as the three other teens started to wake up.

"Friends. That's Ryo I saved his life about a month ago and his pet tiger, White Blaze is under the table. That's Kento, his family owned a restaurant in Port Pheados, and he saved Cye's life like I did with Ryo. Cye's family sells pottery in Port Pheados as well. Ryo and I met Cye and Kento there one day when some thugs attacked Kento's family's restaurant and the four of us went there and took care of them. They joined my crew." Rowen explained as he pointed to each one.

"So what happened?" Ryo asked Sage.

"We were on our way home to Port Dranzer when a storm came up and it was moving fast, we couldn't out run it. It tore the ship apart and through all the noise we heard a voice, two voices really, telling us to jump into the water. We did and found two mermaids, the next thing I know I'm on a piece of wood like my family. I checked them and found they were alive, but when I checked our first mate, he was dead. The two mermaids came back to check on us from time to time, one did more so than the other. She looked familiar to me, like I knew her from when I was younger or something, but I could be wrong about that." Sage explained to his childhood friend and his new friends.

"Wow, it's a good thing we were heading to Port Dranzer anyway." Ryo said.

"How did you find us?" Sage asked.

"As Ryo said we were heading home when we heard someone calling out to us, telling us to follow her, it was a female voice too, and we did. That was how we found you." Rowen said as Mike, the cook, came in with food for the five of them and a plate of meat for White Blaze.

After they ate Rowen pulled out some of his spare clothes and gave them to Sage, since his own clothes were torn. Kento, Cye, Ryo, White Blaze, and Rowen went outside to wait for Sage who came out a minute later, looking much better than when he was brought on the ship.

"Feeling better?" Tim asked as Sage joined Rowen at bow of the ship with Ryo, Cye, and Kento.

"Much." Sage replied.

Nicole woke up and the first thing she noticed was that she was on a ship that wasn't her family's ship and that every member of her family except her brother, was in the same room as her. Kaylee sat up soon after and looked around and realized the same thing as Nicole.

"Where are we, and where is Sage?" Kaylee asked her sister.

"I don't know, I remember the storm that sunk our ship, and the two mermaids that save the six of us." Nicole stated.

"I remember that too. Do you think someone found us?" Kaylee asked as she pulled he legs up to rest her chin on her knees.

"I think so." Nicole replied as the mother, father, and grandfather woke up.

"Where are we?" Grandfather Date asked they sat up.

"We think someone found us after the mermaids saved us when the storm destroyed our ship." Kaylee said.

"Where is Sage?" their mother asked.

"We don't know, he wasn't here when we woke up." Nicole replied.

"You don't think he's..." Theresa asked unable to bring herself to finish the question as the door to the room opened.

"Oh good you are awake, I brought you some food, I'm sure you noticed the clothes next to each of you. When you have eaten and changed, you may join the crew outside. The captain and the first mate wish to speak with you." The man who came in with a tray of food said as he placed the tray on the table in the room and left before they could ask him anything.

"He didn't say who the captain or the first mate are." Alan said as the five of them moved to the table sand started to eat.

"These clothes were picked with us in mind, they are in our sizes and in colors we like." Theresa said after they had eaten and started to get dressed.

"I agree, then who ever recused us must know us well enough to know what we like." Alexander said as his son agreed, before the five of them stepped out onto the deck of the ship and looked around.

"ALAN!" came a voice he knew and saw an old friend walking up to him, smiling.

"Tim!" Alan said as the two hugged each other, now they knew who had recused them.

"I'm glad to see you are okay, you had us worried." Tim said as he hugged his friend's wife, father, and two daughters.

"Where is my son?" Alan asked his friend.

"He and Rowen are at the bow of the ship, with Rowen's new friends." He said with a smile, as the Date family made their way to the front of the ship.

"Sage?" Theresa called to her son, making him, Rowen, and the three other boys turn around as Sage's face lit up when he saw who had called him.

"Mom." Sage replied before Kaylee squeaked as White Blaze appeared in between them as the five teens smiled and traded looks.

"Is that really a tiger?" Nicole asked shocked.

"Yes, his name is White Blaze. He is my pet tiger, he won't hurt you." Ryo told them, as Kaylee walked up to the tiger and started to pet him.

"He's pretty." Kaylee said before she giggled when White Blaze licked her face as her family came over to pet him as well, although Theresa walked past the tiger to her son.

"I'm glad you are okay." She said as she pulled him into a hug which he returned.

"I know mom." Sage replied before she let him go.

"So I hear, we have you to thank for finding us." Alex said as he walked away from the tiger and up to his grandson's childhood friend.

"Yes sir. We heard a female voice calling out to us and told us to follow her voice and we did. That's how we found you, besides we were heading to Port Dranzer anyway." Rowen explained as Alex nodded.

"I was surprised you were not with us when we woke up." Nicole said as she looked at her little brother.

"I was awake when they found us and helped me on board. Rowen helped me to his cabin, which is where I've been." Sage said.

"He told us what happened." Rowen said as Sage's family nodded.

"That one mermaid looked familiar somehow." Nicole said.

"I know, that's what I said." Sage agreed.

"But how can a mermaid look familiar if you have never seen her before?" Kento asked.

"Maybe she was turned into a mermaid." Kaylee pointed out.

"For some reason, when I think about that mermaid, I keep thinking about you Rowen." Said Sage as he looked at his friend, as Nicole nodded in agreement.

"Really?" Rowen asked the two surprised.

"Yeah." Sage said nodding his head.

"Do you think the mermaid was Georgy?" Nicole asked.

"Maybe." Sage said.

"It might be possible; I mean she did disappear 13 years ago." Rowen agreed.

"Who?" Cye asked.

"Rowen's twin sister, right?" Ryo replied looking at Rowen who had turned back to look at the ocean and nodded his head.

"Her name was Georgina. Back when we were 5 years old a pirate named Talpa came to Port Dranzer and tried to take us away from our father, who fought to keep us, but one of Talpa's crew grabbed her and started to head to the ship. My father lost his right leg in his fight with Talpa and they left, taking my sister with them. I haven't seen her since." Rowen explained.

"What happened to your father?" Kento asked.

"He died 6 years ago trying to find my sister." Rowen said.

"Oh." Cye and Kento said.
