The poor merman curled his fin underneath him as he laid, depressed, on his bed.
"…Sora…? I'm sorry.." Donald's eyebrows drooped while he watched the floor.
There was a silence in between the two.
Sora let out a small sigh and shifted his eyes to the floor as well.
Suddenly an idea struck him.
The brunette's head shot up and he was out of the room before Donald knew what was going on.
The smaller fish swam after the prince and up to the surface.
"Sora! Sora! What are you doing?!" Donald cried out.
"Exactly what he doesn't want me to!" he yelled back.
The merman's eyes scanned the surface of the water.
He finally spotted a ship and swam as fast as ever towards it.
Donald did all he could to keep up with the amazing pace.
A good ten minutes later, the two found themselves next to the huge vessel.
Sora pulled himself up onto his elbows just at the edge of the deck.
A boy with silver hair was sitting on a very elaborate chair, and wearing even fancier clothing.
"And finally, to finish off the evening, we all have a gift for you, young prince!"
Another man with just as silver hair motioned towards something big, with a cloth draped over it.
"Oh…Yazoo…you didn't have to…I mean.. well…"
The boy scurried through his words.
"Ah..Don't worry about it." Yazoo laughed, and put one hand on the cloth.
A loud whoosh! was heard.
A large statue of the young human prince was unveiled.
"I-I don't know what to say…uuhh…" the man of honor stumbled.
"Just say thank you!" Yazoo laughed merrily once more.
"Th-thank you…" the human boy did what he was told.
Everyone on deck went back to the festivities and the human was left alone.
Sora had had his eyes glued to the other prince since he first saw him.
"Donald…look at him…!" Sora whispered to his friend.
"Sora! It's a human!" once again, too loudly had his companion spoken.
The prince heard the voice and look at the edge of the deck.
Sora splashed into the water and waited.
He wasn't sure what for, but he knew he needed to see the human again.
