The Little Mermaid

Alex x Jenny

Chapter 4: A Girl with an Impossible Dream

Now, this story all begins with a girl who lives under the sea...

A young girl about the age of sixteen swam acrossed the ocean floor humming softly as she was looking for treasure. This treasure wasn't like the ordinary treasure that most people search for. The saying goes one man's trash is a mermaid's treasure. I know that the saying doesn't actually go like that, but it's true in this story. This girl had a voice that was as "sweet as angels sighing, warm as summer sky & that sound it haunts my dreams & spins me 'round until it seems I'm flying..." That's the best that I can describe it, but enough from me you've got an adventure to take...

"Wow! Look, Conan! Isn't it beautiful?" A young girl with dark hair & blue eyes asked her cousin.

"It's kinda creepy, Jen. I say we go back?" Conan suggested.

"Oh, stop being a fuddy duddy." Jenny said as she grabbed his hand & began swimming towards a old sunken ship. Conan pulled his hand from her grasp.

"Okay. If you don't wanna go inside you can stay out here & watch for sharks." Jenny teased as she swam inside.

"Yeah! I'll stay out here an... wait... SHARKS?! Jenny!" Conan complained as he swam inside as well.

"Wow! this is neat!" Jenny said picking up a few things.

Conan crossed his arms, 'I can't quite figure out how she managed to suck me into these schemes where we're bound to get caught by Harley or someone else from the castle...' he thought then gasped, "Jenny! Shark!" He exclaimed. Jenny looked out the window & sure enough there was a shark swimming towards the window at fast pace.

"Come on, Conan!" Jenny ordered as she began swimming out. Conan quickly followed they waited outside the ship until they heard a loud crashing noise then swam away as fast as they could.

"That was close." Conan sighed.

"Come on, we gotta meet my friend on the surface!" Jenny said with a giddy tone in her voice. Conan sighed & followed.

"Hey! Mermaid ahead!" A man shouted with a telescope backwards while he was sitting on a rock, "Hey come closer, kiddo!" He exclaimed not realizing the two were right in front of him then he put the telescope down, "Woah, fast swim." He said.

"Ben we've got some things for you to explain." Jenny replied pouring the human objects, or her treasures.

"Alright, let's see what you got." Ben said as he started looking at the few things she had. "Alright, this right here is a thing humans use to fix hair.1 And this is a very delicate decoration, people hang this on their ceilings & it looks very beautiful when the sun hits it.2" Ben answered as he handed Jenny object 2 she let the sun hit it & the ray of light hit Ben's fin & he screamed & jumped back in the water Conan & Jenny laughed. "It's not funny." Ben muttered.

"It kinda is actually." Conan chuckled.

"Well thanks for the help Ben! See ya later!" Jenny exclaimed as she grabbed her new treasures & swam off with Conan not too far behind.

Jenny came to her secret place where she knew she could be alone & sighed as she placed her new treasures down. "Are you okay, Jen?" A girl asked.

"Oh, hey Kylie." Jenny sighed again.

"Seriously, Jen. What's wrong?" Kylie asked.

"I just don't see things the way he does. I just don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things, could be bad. Look at this stuff, isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything? Look at this trove, treasures untold. How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you'd think... Sure, she's got everything. I've got gadgets and gizmo's a plenty. I've got whozits and whatzits galore. You want thingamabobs? I've got 20. But who cares? No big deal I want more, I wanna be where the people are, I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancing. Walking around on those... What do you call 'em?" Jenny asked grabbing her fin, "Oh, feet." She giggled, "Flipping your fins you don't get to far. Legs are required for jumping, dancing, strolling along down a... What's that again?" Jenny asked as she stopped for a moment, "Street. Up where they walk, up where they run,up where they stay all day in the sun. Wandering free. Wish I could be part of that world. What would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?" She sang as she laid on the ocean floor, "Bet'cha on land, they understand. Bet they don't reprimand their daughters. Bright young women, sick of swimming. Ready to stand and ready to know what the people know. Ask 'em my questions and get some answers. What's a fire and why does it... What's the word?" Jenny asked as she touched a picture of a lit candle, "Burn. When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above? Out of the sea. Wish I could be part of that world." Jenny sang sadly as she sank down gracefully back down on the ocean floor & sighed.

Kylie was speechless at her cousin's dream, 'Who would want to be around humans all the time?' She wondered.
