Hello, and welcome back to the Little Mer-Pup! Now, I'm sorry for not updating. I have no excuse this time, I just apologize. Anyway, let's check up on Skye!

"Skye!" Zuma shouted, swimming up after her. Skye didn't notice. She popped up at the surface of the water and gasped at what she saw.

"A ship! With Land-Pups! C'mon, Rocky! Let's go see!"

"Ooh, we're not supposed to be doing this!" Rocky thought, slowly swimming along.

"Isn't is beautiful?" Skye asked, interrupting Rocky's thoughts.

"Yeah, really beautiful. Now maybe we should go home before we get in trouble."

"Go home? We haven't even seen the Land-Pups yet!"

"Skye…"

"You guppy-puppy! Let's go!"

Before Rocky could say anything else, Skye swam up to the ship. Onboard, it looked like a party was going on.

"I've never seen Land-Pups in person before." Skye whispered. Meanwhile, the Land-Pups prepared to uncover something.

"Are you ready, Prince Chase?" a Bulldog asked him.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" the prince, who was a German Shepard, said.

"Okay!" He then pulled a tarp off a large object, revealing that is was a statue of Chase. "Happy birthday!"

"It's beautiful! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, Prince. Although, I was intending for it to be a wedding gift."

"Hey, give it time! When I meet that perfect pup, she'll hit me like lightning!"

At the word "Lightning", the wind picked up, and a roar of thunder was heard. The entire crew winced, as they knew what that meant.

A hurricane blew in out of nowhere. The ship was thrown onto its side, knocking Skye back into the water. She surfaced again just in time to see lightning strike the ship, setting it ablaze. Rocky and Skye could only watch in horror as the crew scrambled to the lifeboats. The ship tipped to the side again, this time crashing into some rocks, and the statue of Chase fell overboard. Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse, there came a massive explosion, knocking Chase himself overboard too. Skye gasped at the sight of this.

"No!"

With that, Skye quickly dove under the water. She looked around for a second, then spotted Prince Chase. She swam over like a torpedo and grabbed him. By this point, Zuma had arrived.

"Skye, what are you…" he started to ask, then froze when he saw Chase. He and Rocky watched as Skye brought Chase to the shore, then swam over. Skye was staring at the unconscious, but alive prince with a dreamy expression.

"Prince Chase…"

Zuma's jaw dropped when he realized what had happened: Skye had fallen in love. Not just with anybody, but with a Land-Pup. What would Triton say? Zuma was nearing a panic attack when Chase opened his eyes. The Mer-Pups quickly dove back underwater before he could see them. Once they were gone, that same bulldog ran up.

"Chase! You're alive!"

"Yes, I'm fine. This girl… she saved me! I didn't see her face, but I will find her, and I'll marry her!"

Meanwhile, Skye was sitting on a nearby rock. As the waves crashed behind her, she sighed.

"Oh, Chase, I promise, I'll someday be part of your world!"

One more chapter finished! Will Skye get the guy? Hey, that rhymes! Anyway, stay tuned!
