Chapter 2: It's Illegal to Kidnap, Denny
As suspiscious as two young men carrying a small, makeshift wooden pool to the beach was, no one asked. It was Denny, after all. People always thought he was a crazy guy.
When they rolled the pool into the house, Denny immedietly cleared room, and then managed to get Mark to help him fill it with water. When asked by the suspiscious farmer, the fisherman simply said, "I want some fish in my house! You know, like pets". Mark didn't really have time for this, so after they filled the pool, he said his goodbye and left to go back to his farm.
Kuu was perched on the rim of the pool the whole time, he himself a little weirded out by his master. I mean, first there was a fish woman, and now there was a big bowl in their house? It was too much for a bird like Kuu. Denny was already out the door though, not wanting to waste any time. He first payed off Charlie and Eliza, telling them to go have some icecream. That would keep them preoccupied, he thought, and he set off to the boulder. There was indeed a lot of seaweed, and he was in such a hurry, that it only took a few minutes to clean it all off. Once that was done, he went to go bring a fishing net and he set it on top of the big rock. It fit perfectly. He put the seaweed back on, so she wouldn't notice the net, and then he added the last of his mermaid trap: the gifts.
Now, he had to play the waiting game.
For what seemed like ages, but was only maybe an hour, Denny hid behind some of the smaller rocks, ready to pull the net to close it. Yet. . . Nothing happened. She wasn't showing up, and the sun would go down soon! "Ugh!" He whispered, but he bit his tongue the second a large waved crashed over the rocks. He was strong though, and he kept his stance even after the water pulled on him. He wiped his eyes, and looked up.
. . .There she was! There. She. Was! Sitting on the boulder in all her astounding glory, the meraid from yesterday sat there, a confused look on her face as she examined, and even put on the gifts Denny had left. She was just so incredible, that Denny couldn't help but gasp. Mistake. She whipped her head to his direction, and once she realized what was going on, it looked as if she was going to dive. Denny was more than ready, being an expert at fishing, and he pulled the net with great force, sealing it around her as she tried to jump. He wasn't sure what happened to make her faint, whether she hit the rock or something, because a great wave crashed onto the shore. Denny stood his ground, pulling on the net for dear life so his catch wouldn't get away.
Pulling on the net with dear life was mistake number two, because the mermaid crashed into him after the wave drew back. Denny landed on his behind wih a soft thud, and for a moment, the only thing to be heard was his panting and the ocean. He looked down at his lap, and nearly choked in surprise as he got up quickly and carried the full net back into his house, Kuu not far behind. . . He did it! He. . . He caught a mermaid!
Well, that was odd xD I'm getting warmed up is all, so please, review? Until next chapter~
