*Figured that you would like a peek at someone's p.o.v. -Traveler.

(Max's P.O.V.) -Minutes later-

How did I ever got into this?! Oh, wait, Eric and Ariel asked me to. Well, they should have told me that I was the bait, chased by a hell of a giant shark; that damn golden eye, the black top scales among the dark kelp green underbelly.

Oh, well, I am actually breathing underwater, breathing underwater as a merman for gosh's sake! Great to know that I got a real fast ocean/baby blue tail flipping fast as I could! I screamed, "Anybody, help me!". I twisted around a building when I almost whipped my head around at the force of a powerful tug, hiding me against a wall, with a rather pretty mermaid signaling me to be quiet.

I heard frustrated growls, staring out at the view, hoping that the shark is not close by, and after a few moments of hearing nothing, the mermaid bravely stuck her head out, then exhaled a deep breath of relief. "That was close. You alright?".

I sighed deeply, "Yeah, thanks. You saved my life.". She smiled, "That? Nah, that was nothing!". I chuckled, "Well, neither way, I am sure glad to see a face after Eric and Ariel left me hanging!". The mermaid widened her eyes, "Wait, you're not Max, are you?".

I blinked, "I am he. Who are you?". The mermaid grinned, "One of Ariel's sisters. My name's Aquata.". I tilted my head in amazement, realizing that I am actually in front of a princess, and one of Ariel's sisters, no less! She's pretty cute in a way, having a interesting hairstyle of her brown hair, and her eyes are brown too. I glanced down at her neat seashell bra, tail, fins, and realized that her tail's baby blue, matching my fins by the exact shade!

I remembered the conversation about soulmates and the bond ritual, and I exhaled softly, bowing slightly, "Pleased to meet you, princess Aquata.". Heck, even her name is unique! Aquata shyly smiled, "Nice to meet you, Max. I never thought I'd meet a good-looking human as Eric is clearly taken by Ariel.".

I grinned softly, "Well, I feel the same as I'd never thought I would be meeting such a cute mermaid like you, yet here we are.". Aquata giggled warmly, and I actually like the sound as it reminds me of wind chimes. I then blinked, "Wait, where is the rest of the family? Eric said that he and Ariel was going to break all of you out of jail!".

Aquata gasped, "Oh, no, we must have split up from that other nasty shark! Urs set those two sharks to watch out for troublemakers which is all of us!". I nodded, pulled a determined smirk, "Then let's find them!".

Aquata blinked, grabbed my hand, "But that's dangerous with those sharks out there!". I exhaled, "I know, but I got a idea.". Aquata stared at me in bewilderment yet reluctant acceptance, "Fine, what do you got in mind?". A smile grew across from ear to ear, and I somehow had a feeling that Aquata's going to be mad-relieved after all this is over with.

How did they get into this mess? Oh, right, Flotsam and Jetsam were lured by one princess and a crazy merman who was taunting them after they had cornered 6 of the other princesses. How did they find the time to make a wicked good net out of kelp and seaweed? They are so going to be turned into shrimp if Urs finds out about this.
