Chapter 12

"Tyson, why are we in the middle of the ocean?" Mariah asked

"Because I want to see a mermaid." was Tyson's answer

"Well, I would like to see one too." Hilary said

"What? Your not going to tell me that this is stupid and they don't exist?"

"No, after all the other mythical animals we've seen, I'd like to see if mermaids exist."

"Hey, look!" Mariah said, "Theres something on that rock!" They all looked at a rock, about 50 feet infront of the boat, and there was what looked like a woman sitting there playing with her hair. She had longsea greenhair, that went down to her mid-tail. She had a starfish as a decoration, and her eyes wereocean blue.

"Wow..." Tyson, Max, Kenny, Ray, and even Kai said. Hilary and Mariah glared ath them. The lady on the rock saw the boat, and dove into the water. "Awe..." The boys sadly said.

"Hmph!" the girls were angry. Suddenly the woman showed up at the side of their boat. She looked at them all, her eyes stopped at Ray.

"Well hello." She said, her voice was bubbly, "Aren't you the looker?"

"Mah-me?" Ray asked, she giggled, and tossed him her starfish. He caught it, and it pricked his hand.

"Ow." He said, and looked to see a small trickle of blood coming from where one of the points stabbed him.

"Whats the big idea?" Mariah screamed at the mermaid. "Thats my boyfriend!"

"I am?" Ray asked, seeming shocked, then he fell and landed on his butt. He looked at where his feet were and was shocked to see a black merperson tail. "What happened to me?"

"I have made it so you and I will be together, always." Said the mermaid

"But but I...I don't..."

"My name is Aquaria. And you will be my husband." Mariah pulled Aquaria up by her hair, hissing.

"You better turn him back, NOW!" Mariah said, very angrily. Aquaria slapped Mariah with her tail, fell back into the water, and swam away.

"I'll be back, my love." She shouted to Ray.

"Now what am I going to do?" Ray asked no one in particullar.

"Hey, Ray, how are you going to use the bathroom like that?" Tyson asked, Ray's eye widened

"I-I don't know..." He said, he dragged himself over to the edge and shouted, "COME BACK! PLEASE! CHANGE ME BACK!"

"Lets find her, she can't have gotten far." Mariah said

"Right." kenny said, and drove the boat in the same direction the mermaid swam.

-1 hour later-

They were still looking. No sign of her could be seen anywhere. They were also running low on fuel. They had to go back to land.

"We're low on gas." Kenny said, "We have to go back."

"Good." Tyson said, "Ray is starting to smell like rotten fish."

"Why don't you try being stuck like this and see how you smell!" Ray snapped

"I was just saying." Tyson said

"Well maybe you should just be quiet!" Ray said, angrily

"Fine!"

"Fine!" Both boys were now angry at eachother.

"Hey, come on guys," Max said, "We're all friends here."

"Not anymore." Tyson said

"Tyson!" Hilary said, "Why don't you put yourself in Ray's shoes."

"Ray doesn't have shoes." Tyson said, "And he didn't need to snap at me like that!"

"Well you didn't need to make that comment about me smelling like fish!"

"Well its true!" Tyson said

"You don't think I know that! I'm half fish now!" Ray said

"So, your half human, half cat, and half fish?" Tyson asked

"Tyson, thats not possible." Hilary said

"Tyson, how would you feel if you were suddenly turned into a mermaid?" Kenny asked

"I am NOT a merMAID!"

"Merman, I'm sorry." Kenny said, as he pulled up to a dock, "Ray, you might want to go into the water now." Ray nodded and jumped in, followed by Mariah.

"What are you doing?" Ray asked

"I'm not going to leave you alone, like this." She mentioned to his new tail. Ray blushed.

"We'll be back after we get some more gas." Kenny said

"I have plenty of gas." Tyson said

"Eew! Not that kind of gas, Tyson!" Hilary said, and they left.

-10 minutes later-

"Ray, its the mermaid!" Mariah said, pointed Aquaria swimming a few feet underwater, "Lets get her!" Mariah pulled out scuba gear, and followed Ray underwater after Aquaria.

They followed her down, until Aquaria turned to face them. She looked angry to see Mariah. She had hatred written all over her face. She smiled when she saw Ray breathing the water.

"I see you figured out how to breath underwater." Aquaria said

"Eh, I'm just breathing like I normally do." Ray said

"You better change him back!" Mariah said(she has a scuba mask that lets her talk)

"Or what?" Aquaria asked

"Or this!" Mariah punched Aquaria.

"Why you!" Aquaria slapped her tail into Mariah's side.

"Grr!" Mariah scratched Aquaria's cheek.

Aquaria slapped Mariah with her hand, then back handed her. Mariah kicked Aquaria with all the force she could underwater. Aquaria went to punch Mariah, but Mariah cought her arm, and slamed her elbow into Aquaria's elbow. Aquaria screamed in pain, and Mariah grabbed her hair, and through her onto the land. Mariah climed the ladder to the dock, and looked down at Aquaria.
"Change him back, if you want to keep your freedom." Mariah said

"Fine, all he has to do is kiss me." Aquaria said

"Not on your life." Mariah said

"Then enjoy life with a merman."

"Fine, Ray, Ray?" Mariah called out

"I'm still in the water" Ray called back. Mariah kicked Aquaria into the water. Aquaria glared at Mariah, then kissed Ray.

"Hey, I'm still a merman!" Ray said

"I know." Aquaria said, then poked him with her starfish. Ray turned back to normal.

"Yes!" Ray said, happily, then Mariah helped him climb onthe dock, and fell on his face. "I think I forgot how to walk."

"No, love, it will take time to get you land legs back to full strength. Bye." Aquaria swam off. Just as the others came back.

"Ray, your normal." Max said

"Yeah, thanks to Mariah." Ray said

"Well, lets go to the next place on the list!" Tyson said, happily.

"Hey, Tyson. I'm sorry I snapped at you. But I was kinda upset." Ray said

"Heh, I shouldn't have said you stunk." Tyson said, "Now! To the bus!"

End Chapter. Thank again to Tigercubsis for her ideas.
