Last time...
"I think it meant that I was supposed to be with the merman on the card. I have been having mental debates about which merman I should be with, I think that's why I fainted earlier today. The merman on the card and the merman I think and feel in my heart I should be with is..." Roxy started to say and we all leaned in to make sure we didn't miss the name.

I held my breath along with the other girls while we waited for Roxy to tell us who was on the card she picked up. "Andy." she finally said and we all gasped. "Are you sure you mean Andy?" I asked Roxy and she nodded. "But what about Aaron?" Musa asked and all of us nodded. "I know what you're all thinking and I think that I'm meant to be with Andy. I think I have always felt like something was missing and I still love Aaron, but I don't think that I am suppose to be with him for the rest of my life."I explained and we looked at each other with worry in our eyes. "But what about Aaron? How will you tell Aaron and Andy?" Layla asked the unspoken question we all had. "Truthfully, I really don't know the answer to either questions." I replied sadly. "We understand, I still have to figure out how I'm going to tell Blake that I've chosen Riven over him." Musa said and everyone looked at her with their mouths hanging open. "Are you serious Muse?" I asked her and she nodded. "I think we all have to talk to the original mermen." I suggested and everyone nodded sadly, but they knew what I said was true. "I think we need a group hug first." Flora said with a sad smile and we all agreed and formed a group hug. "No matter what happens, we will always have each other." Stella said and I couldn't have agreed more with her.

After the girls left we went back to class and explained to the teacher what happened and she said that she hoped that Roxy would feel better soon. Although it was a little bit annoying to have to explain the same thing over and over again it was nice to see that the teachers really did care about their students and they all told us to tell Roxy that they hoped she would get better soon. It seemed like it was an extremely short day and I had to admit that school for the day was over. I really loved learning and everything they taught in school were things that I had never heard of. "What if there is something seriously wrong with Roxy?' I heard Aaron ask us for the hundredth time that day. "Then the kings and queens will deal with it. I don't think anything is wrong though." Sam reassured his friend. "Also it's not like she is alone, the other mermaids are with her." I pointed out which seemed to help Aaron calm down a little bit. After collecting our things we quickly swam to the castle. "This way." Jake said and led us up a stairway to a large room and through huge doors where we found the girls sitting together. "Hi girls!" I called and they all looked up at us, even though they were smiling I could tell something was wrong. "Timmy!" Tecna called happily to me and she almost tackled me when she gave me a hug. "Ops sorry, I forgot you're still getting use to having a tail." she said with a cute blush. "It's okay...you're right though I still haven't figured out the whole tail thing." i said with a laugh and she joined in. I felt like my heart was going to burst from the love and happiness I felt coming off of Tecna. "Is everything okay?" I asked quietly and leading her away from everyone. She shook her head sadly, "I'll explain later, but for now I'm happy to be with you." she said smiling, though I still saw sadness in her eyes. "Okay..." I replied though I was still unsure of what to make of the situation.

I sighed when I saw Riven and Blake who were still ignoring each other. "I'm going to have to tell them soon." I thought with a heavy heart. "You can do it Muse I know it will be hard, but you'll feel much better after you talk to them." Bloom said quietly as she sat next to me. I nodded and pushed myself off of Roxy's bed. "Blake? Can I please talk to you alone?" I asked Blake who looked surprised that I was talking to him. "Um sure." He said and I motioned for him to fallow me out of the room. I sat down in a chair and he sat on a chair that faced mine, "are you okay? What did you want to talk to me about?" he asked me and it made my heart hurt even more when I heard the worry in his voice. "Blake, there are two things I want to start off saying. One is that I have been giving this a lot of thought and second I want you to know that I still love you." I started to say and he motioned for me to continue and I took a deep breath. "The thing is that I haven't been feeling the same connection between us that I felt when we first started dating." I said slowly. "So what are you saying Musa?" he asked and I think that we both knew what I was going to say. "I think it's time for us to see other merpeople and I really love Riven and I want to be with him." I finally managed to get out. "Is…is that how you really feel?" Blake asked me and I winced when I heard his voice crack with emotion. "Yes that's how I really feel." I told him. We both sat in a silence for a moment before he pulled me into a tight hug. "Then I would be the biggest jerk in the whole ocean if I kept you away from Riven." Blake said after we pulled away. I smiled at him and I knew in his own way he was telling me that it was okay that I chose Riven over him. "Friends?" he asked holding out his hand. "Best friends." I replied pulling his hand close to me so I could give him another hug. "Riven is a lucky merman." Blake said and I nodded. "Thank you for everything Blake." I said and I meant it with all my heart. "No, I'm the one who should be thanking you for everything, princess." Blake replied. We both hugged one last time before we rejoined the others and I saw Bloom look at me and I nodded and she gave me a thumbs up sign which I returned. "Now it's time to tell Riven." I thought to myself. "Riven can we talk?" I ask him quietly and he nodded and fallowed me into the same room where I had been with Blake a few minutes ago.
