Chapter Two: Making a deal

*Back in Atlantia*

"Father! Father!" a young mermaid making her way through other kinds of fishes and other mermaids and

mermans to get to their castle to look for her father.

The king overlooked upon his magestic kingdom from his balcony. Dolphins are playing with the youngsters

near the castle. He looked below and saw his yonger daughter calling for him and she seemed so excited.

"I'm up here, Sophia!" the king shouted, waving his staff made of gold and very powerful.

Sophia stopped swimming and looked up, "Ah, father!". She quickly swam up and hugged her father.

The king was shocked a bit, "Why so excited and happy?".

Sophia broke the hug and looked at her father with happiness playing in her eyes. "I...I have found my

dream boy!".

"Really?! Thank God! Now, what's his name? Where does he live? When did you know his the one? Is he an

old friend?", her father asked nonstop questions.

"Dad, slow down. First of all, his name is Irvine and i don't know where he lives. I knew that he is the one

when I first saw him", Sophia said happily.

"So, when are you going to introduce him to me?", the King asked also a bit excited.

Sophia lowered her head, "I can't I haven't met him yet. And it's because his not a merman, his is a human".

"What?!! A human?! Why the hell did you fall inlove with a human?!! What did I tell you about humans?!!"

the King said, in anger.

"Yes, father. But, we don't know if is like the other humans we have encountered. Give him a chance,

please" Sophia pleaded.

The King looked at his kingdom, he couldn't risk of a human knowing that mermans and mermaids exsist

just like before, but its his daughter. He's going to block her happiness. He looked back at his daughter.

He sighed, "Ok, but you have to listen to what I'm going to say".

Sophia looked at his father, smiling widely. "Really father?!".

"Yes yes. I will not risk you showing to him in your true form. But, I will give you feet but when it gets wet

even just a little it will turn back to your tail, so avoid getting wet, understand?! And I'm giving this amulet

to you so that you and I can talk and it has magic powers but not to strong. You must promise me not to tell

him what you really are not until you know that he really loves you not because your pretty. But he will

still love you no matter what you will become, ok?", the King said hugging his daughter.

"Yes father. I promise. Don't worry I'll keep in touch", Sophia said forming tears in her eyes.

"Now, don't cry on me or else I'll change my mind!" the King said. "Now, let's go near the shore there I will

transform your tail into feet", the King said and turned around ", Guard! Prepare my cairrage!".

The guard came in and saluted and run off.

"Father, thank you" Sophia said as she looked up to the surface. "I will miss Atlantia" she added.

The King looked away hating the thought that his daughter will be far from him. Sophia noticed her father

looking away. She hugged him tightly and the cairrage arrived.

"Father, please do this with positive thoughts", Sophia said as she swam in the cairrage using her red tail.

The King followed in and althrough the journey to the seashore they kept quiet. Sophia swam outside the

cairrage and swam up to the shore. She smiled seeing the sunset and she diverted her view to the group

of people gather around a campfire. There were two people fighting over some marshmallows and the

girl with blonde hair drinking her hot chocolate as she layed her back on the that dinosaur shaped metal.

She frowned he isn't there, she looked at their zoids and there she saw him with the guy who's hair is tied.

She swam back to her father far behind the boulders.

"Are you ready, Sophia?", the King asked shakily.

"Yes, father. I'm ready" she answered back.

"Ok...but, when I turn your tail into feet you will be unconscious. And never ever loose the necklace!" he

reminded her, pointing his staff to Sophia.

She nodded and close her eyes. The staff started glowing and hit Sophia, suddenly her red tail slowly

became feet and she became unconscious and collapsed on the shore with her long blonde hair covering

her upper body and some seaweeds covering her bottom. The King turned around and prayed that Sophia

will be ok.

"So, Irvine did you find any "enemy" around here?" Van asked, sarcastically whille siping his hot chocolate.

Irvine gazed at the sky and shooked his head. "NO, but I know there's something out there and later I'm

going to look to check."

"Oh come one Irvine! Let's just have fun! We're on vacation! Remember?!" Van said in frustration, standing

up with his hot chocolate in his hand.

Irvine stood up and place his hand behind his head and walked off to his Lightning Saix. "I'll have fun, after

I find something".

Van smiled and walked over the group, "Hey Thomas stop stealing Moonbay's marshmallows".

Moonbay faced Thomas and held her fist in front of Thomas' face," So, your the one who's benn stealing my

marshmallows!! Your going to pay for this Thomas!".

Thomas quickly stood up and ran around the zoids with Moonbay running close behind him. "Thanks alot

Van!!!".

"No problem!!" Van shouted back and sat beside Fiona. Van stared at the fire and yawned.

Fiona faced Van, "Are you getting sleepy Van?".

"Oh, alittle I guess I got tired of swimming, that's all" Van replied and yawned again.

Fiona giggled, "Then why don't you lay your head on my lap? I won't mind".

"Are you sure, Fi?".

Fiona nodded and Van layed his head on Fiona's lap and it didn't took long Van fell asleep. Fiona ran her

hand through Van's hair and kissed his forehead.
