"This can't be true!" denied Skye. "My dad is not a merman!"

Skye's grandmother shook her head. "Well, I'll have to tell you the story." she said. "When your father rescued your mother after her ship was sunk, Sora went to the sea warlock Ansem to turn himself into a human, but he had to trade in his voice for legs."

"Wait, my mom told me this story, but she must have changed a lot of names." said Skye, remembering his mother's story.

"Kairi may have." said the queen. "You know how your father defeated Ansem, right?"

Skye nodded.

"You must be tired." said the queen. "Your uncle will take you to your father's room to sleep for tonight. Tomorrow, we''l talk some more."

Skye tried to swim, but he couldn't figure out how to use his tail.

"Uh, how do I swim, your majesty?" asked Skye.

"Please, Skye, I'm your grandmother, call me grandma." said the queen with a smile. "In order to swim, try flicking your tail."

Skye flicked his tail and ended up floating across the room at high speed. He then flicked his tail lightly and moved at a slower speed. This was going to take some getting used to. His grandmother and uncle smiled and then Ethan went to take Skye to his father's room.

While they were heading there, they talked a little.

"So you've been a human all your life until now," said Ethan. "I've only been a human a couple times to visit my brother, but I'm much more happier in the sea."

The red crab swam alongside them.

"Uh, what's the deal with the crab?" asked Skye.

"I'm not just a crab!" said the crab in the Jamaican accent.

Skye jumped in surprise. "Whoa! A talking crab!"

Ethan laughed. "This is Sebastion." he said. "My mom has relied on Sebastion for years."

"Your father was much trouble!" said Sebastion to Skye. "I tried to keep a good eye on him, but he just kept getting away and doing mischievious things!"

Ethan swam over to a hole in a wall and pointed to it. Skye swam over to it.

"This was my brother's room." said Ethan. "It's been left like this since he became a human."

He and Sebastion both said good night and swam away. Skye swam inside the hole and found a huge room loaded with treasures everywhere. There were books, lamps, music boxes,silverware, toys, you name it. There were a lot of things from the human world lining the walls and on tables. The only other thing that was in the room was a gigantic clam which Sora had once slept in, but he prefered the floor because the clam was annoying to sleep in. Skye swam over to it and lied down in it. The meat was soft and squishy but he found it comfy. He fell asleep on it in no time.

Skye awoke the next morning with stick legs walking all over him.

"Skye, you better get your tail up!" said Sebastion.

Skye opened his eyes and found the crab standing on his bare chest. He brushed Sebastion off and sat up. Skye rubbed his eyes and yawned.

"Your mother wants you to go to the dining quarters." said Sebastion.

Skye followed Sebastion to the dining quarters and found his grandmother sitting on a clam, eating a breakfast of seaweed. There was also a plate of seaweed in front of an empty clam chair.

"Sit down, Skye." said the queen. "Eat some seaweed. I know it's not what you're used to eating."

Skye sat down in the clam chair. He wished he had some fish, but he knew merpeople wouldn't eat their own kind. No wonder why his father never ate seafood.

"You grew up to be a handsome man." said the queen. "You look just like Sora. He and your mother raised a wonderful child."

Skye tried some of the seaweed. It wasn't so bad. So, he kept eating. As he ate, the thought. He wasn't a child anymore or a man yet. Oh well.

Meanwhile, back on the surface, Sora went to Skye's room to wake him up. Kairi had just finished cooking breakfast and wanted Skye to come down to eat. Sora opened the door and saw that Skye's bed was left untouched. There was a note on it, though.

Dear Mom and Dad, it said. I'm going to spend the next few nights over with Nicky and Rebecca, so don't go looking for me. Love you both, Skye.

Sora took the note with him and went to the kitchen.

"Kairi, Skye left a note saying that he'll be over at Nicky and Rebecca for a few days." said Sora, making a grim face.

"What's the matter, Sora?" asked Kairi.

"I think something's up." said Sora. "I better go over to Riku's to check on things..."

"Sora, I think you should lay off Skye." said Kairi. "Relax and stop being so worried. Besides, I think we can have some time to go somewhere romantic."

Sora smiled a little. "Maybe." he said. "Then let's go to the carnival. I heard they're in town."

"That's the man I married!" Kairi said happily...

Sora smiled...
