Chapter 4

"Well hello there!" A strange voice greets Wendy. She looks up and sees a strange blonde man looking at her biting his lip. This leaves Wendy completely terrified. "What's your name, beautiful?" The man asks her.

Wendy tries to back away from him.

"Don't leave! I want to help you. What's your name? Where are your clothes?"

Wendy looks at him, but says nothing...

The guy licks his lips and smiles. "Actually I don't mind you being naked." He stares her up and down. A dark haired guy, that's not Stan, comes over to them.

"Kenny! Leave the girl alone." The dark haired man ordered.

"What? I just wanted to get to know her better." Kenny touches Wendy's hair which makes her feel a little uneasy. The dark haired man kneels down in front of Wendy.

"Miss, are you lost? There shouldn't be any other guests at this resort without me knowing about it. I know you're not an employee here, so who are you?" Wendy stares at the man.

"You're not going to get a peep out of this one."

"I asked you a question!" Craig begins to get frustrated, but Wendy still doesn't answer.

"Maybe she's deaf or doesn't speak English." Kenny suggests.

"DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH?" Craig yells. Wendy backs away.

"Craig, back off!" Wendy looks and sees Stan walking over with a red haired guy. Wendy's eyes light up. "Dude, you can be such an asshole!" Stan pushes Craig out of the way and kneels down next to Wendy. "I'm sorry about my friends, sometimes they act like they don't have any home training."

Wendy looks at Stan and smiles. It's almost as if you can see the hearts in her eyes.

Stan raises his eyebrow. "Have we met before?"

Wendy smiles and nods.

"We have?" Stan's eyes light up as Wendy nods again. She takes Stan's hand. "I knew it! I knew you existed! What's your name?"

Wendy tried to say her name, but she's unable to speak. Stan frowns. "You can't speak?"

Wendy shakes her head and Stan looks disappointed. "Oh...I'm terribly sorry. I thought you were someone else." Wendy looks down.

Kyle rolls his eyes. "Dude, don't start with that mermaid shit again!"

"I'm not! I believe you guys. Maybe she wasn't a mermaid, but she was definitely real." Wendy perks back up knowing that Stan has been looking for her as well.

"Oh boy! Well who the hell is this?"

"I don't know. She can't talk." Stan looks at Wendy. "Do you need help?" Wendy nods. "Come with us. I'll take you to the resort. You can get cleaned up and some clothes."

Wendy stands up, but nearly falls over before Stan catches her. "Careful. Here put your arm around me." Wendy smiles and puts her arm around Stan and he escorts her to the resort.

"There's something off about that girl." Kyle says as he watches them walk away.

Kenny nods in agreement. "Yeah, it's weird that she doesn't talk. But damn, she's hot!"

"You didn't notice that she has an odor?" Craig asks.

Kyle raises his eyebrow. "What kind of odor?"

"I don't know, she smells kind of...fishy."

"Well she was in the water." Kenny shrugs.

"We all were at some point in time today, but none of us smelled liked fish."

"I didn't smell anything. Maybe you're smelling the ocean water. Let's go see what Stan and the mute are up to. I wouldn't mind getting to know her."

"She doesn't talk."

"Hey, what I want doesn't require talking!" Kenny grins.

"Gross dude!" Kyle exclaims.

"What? A guy has needs, you know!"

"Let's just go!" Craig announces. "I need to keep my eye on Stan. I don't trust that girl for some reason." The three of them head back to the resort.

At the resort, Stan got Wendy her own room. She took a shower for the first time, but the only problem is she still didn't have clothes to wear. She puts the towel around her and knocks on Stan's door. He opens it and blushes when he sees Wendy in her towel. "You don't have anything to wear, do you?" Wendy lowers her head and shakes it no. Stan smiles. "No problem." He holds up a purple sundress and sandals. "I bought this in the gift shop. I think it should fit. You can go in my bathroom and change. Wendy heads into the bathroom.

About 30 minutes later, Wendy comes out with the dress and the sandals are on her hand. "You look nice." Wendy blushes and Stan starts laughing. "But you know the sandals go on your feet…" Wendy looks away from Stan. "Let me help you." He takes the sandals off her hands and puts them on her feet.

"That's better. Do you want to get something to eat? There's plenty of restaurants here." Wendy smiles and nods.

"Are you in the mood for seafood?" She nods.

"Great! I have a place in mind, you'll love it! We can eat out on the beach. It has a really nice ambiance." He holds the door open for Wendy and she walks out and he follows behind her.

Once they arrive at the restaurant, Stan asks the hostess for a table for two outdoors. She gets two menus and takes them outside. "Here you go. Right by the beach like you requested."

"Thank you." Stan pulls out Wendy's chair. She stares at him confused. "It's okay, you can sit down." She hesitates before sitting then Stan pushes her chair closer to the table.

"I'll be back, I need to run to the bathroom." Stan announces as Wendy nods. While he's gone, Wendy begins to look over the menu. The only problem is, she can't read it…

"Wendy!" She hears someone call out. She looks and sees Bebe waving to her. She quickly rushes over to her.

Bebe's jaw drops. "Oh my God, it really is true! You're a human!"

Wendy smiles and spins around in her dress. Then she frowns. "What's wrong?" Wendy taps her mouth and shakes her head.

"You can't talk?" She shakes her head.

Bebe sighs. "Oh man. Why would you get mixed up with the sea king? You know he can be trouble."

Wendy begins pointing at Stan who's now making his way back to the table.

"Oh is that the human?" Wendy nods. Bebe tries to get a better look. "He's handsome. I'll go, but I'll be back to check on you." She quickly swims off and Wendy goes back to the table.

"We're you talking to someone?" Stan asks her. Wendy shakes her head. "Okay. Did you have a chance to look over the menu?" Wendy nods. "Do you know what you want?" She shakes her head. "That's okay, take your time. I'll ask our waiter what the specials are. Maybe that will help you make a decision." Stan takes Wendy's hand and she blushes. Stan looks at Wendy and smiles.
