The Snack Pack are in the yacht, looking for something in the lake while Rose was having her swimming lessons with a mermaid. When Rose finished her swimming lessons, Branch helped her get on the yacht. Chenille popped out of the water to get some air.
"Do you see any?" Satin asked.
"We need some unique shells to accent Rose's mermaid costume." Chenille answered. "We haven't made a summer fashion line but the swimsuit mermaid line is quite challenging."
"The tail is almost finished, it's got a very long tail like a Siamese fighting fish." Satin huffed. Chenille joined in with her breathing mask and jumped into the water with her sister.
"That looks great guys, good luck finding something!" Poppy squealed before she turned to DJ Suki. "Hey DJ, have you thought of something for the beach party performance?"
"I haven't got an inspiration for a song." DJ Suki answered.
"Hey everybody, look!" Smidge cried.
But it turned out to be a dolphin instead, which disappointed everybody.
"Oops, my bad, I thought that would be Naia." Smidge sighed.
"Don't joke about that, her story always makes me cry." DJ Suki sobbed.
"What's the talk about?" Rose asked.
"Just a part of our city's history." Poppy said.
"It's just a legend, DJ." Branch nodded.
"Still, it's so beautiful." DJ cried.
Smidge handed DJ Suki the tissues to wipe her nose.
"I guess it could've happened." Biggie added. "Anything is possible."
"Every legend starts with a grain of truth." Smidge agreed.
"Really, a witch tricked by a mermaid?" Branch rolled his eyes.
"Okay, what's this story about? I wanna hear it." Rose squealed.
"The lake were on is called Crystal Lake and it was created by a girl named Naia." DJ Suki said as she started narrating the story.
"Long, long ago, during the days of yore, there lived a beautiful maiden named Naia. She is so beautiful that anyone that many men wanted to marry her but she wouldn't choose anyone, except for a man who truly loved her. A simple lord named Sir. Shelligan. Her parents didn't approve of it and they try to force her to marry a very rich but arrogant man, whom she hated. To make matters worse, the water disappeared and no crops would grow. In the night before the wedding, Naia ran away in her wedding gown to find the witch's lair herself. She searched the mountain forest on her own until she found a great cavern, where the witch hid all the water to herself. The witch made a dam to trap all the water so that no water would be available for the village. Naia saw the underground lake and knowing what to do, she pushed the dam, breaking it in the process. When the witch saw what is happening, she tried to stop it with her dark magic but she got swept away and was never seen again."
"But what happened to Naia?" Rose asked.
"That's the part that makes me cry!" DJ sobbed again.
"According to the legend, Naia couldn't get out of the way in time. When the wedding was set, everybody was shocked to see that Naia is gone but the village spring began to flow again but it flowed faster and faster and faster until it formed a lake, which were in now." Poppy added.
"That day, Sir. Shelligan noticed something swimming in the water so he waded into the lake and swam farther and farther until he disappeared too." Biggie joined in. "Nobody knows for sure what happened to Naia and Sir. Shelligan but some believed that they are transformed into merpeople and lived forever in the lake that she helped make."
"Well, some believe that they swim up to this day but most claimed that their descendants inhabit it today, forming an underwater city underneath." Guy concluded.
"Wow, that's a beautiful story." Rose smiled.
"Hey guys, look what I found!" Satin called out as she and Chenille emerged from the water, holding something on her hands. They looked like pink polished glass, formed by the water into egg-shaped stones.
"Our designs are finally complete!" Chenille squealed.
"I'll get them." Rose volunteered as she dove back to the water.
In a moment, all the mermaid costumes are finally complete as the twins added the tear-like stones.
"There are dozens of them down there but they almost look magical." Rose squealed.
"Are these aquamarines?" Poppy asked.
"Those are bits of polished glass but they're so pretty." Branch answered.
"When they're polished by the sea, we call them ningyo no namida." Satin said.
"Mermaid tears, that's so cool!" Poppy squealed.
"Now, I got an inspiration for my new music, which is from the mermaids." DJ shouted.
As they all laughed, Rose noticed some lights flashing from the water and there, she noticed there are merpeople partying underneath.
"Well, maybe Naia's descendants are partying underneath." Rose sighed as she started believing in the story her friends told her.
