Sorry guys, I kind of forgot again! But that's not to say I didn't see the reviews! Thank you very much for those, they're the only reason I'm still writing this story. So hopefully you'll keep on reading :)

Chapter 3: What now, fisherman?
It had been odd, the few minutes after capturing the mermaid. First of all, she wasn't exactly easy to get into the mini pool. And would she be able to breathe under water? Denny freaked out at the thought of her drowning so he sacrificed a pillow of his so she could rest her head at the edge.
Then of course, was the fact that she absolutely no clothes on to hide the part of her that was human. The fisherman didn't xactly know what to do about that, so he tried to ignore that and instead tried speaking to her.
"Um. . . Hey. . . Mermaid? Are you okay? I uh. . . Uh. . ." What am I supposed to say? 'Hey! I'm Denny and I kidnapped you and put you in a pool i my house! What's your name? Denny sighed at his own thoughts, and thankfully the mermaid seemed to be peacefully unconscious so he plopped himself down by the makeshift pool to think of something to say when she woke up. "What can I say, Kuu? Do ya know?" He looked at his bird friend and only recieved a blank squawk in return. "Yeah, I dunno either. . ."
He went on in a deep thinking spree for about an hour. During that time, he hadn't noticed the awakening mermaid next to his side, despite Kuu's warning noises. The mermaid was silent when she stretched, rubbing at the back of her head. She was only unconscious because she had hit her head on the rock when the young fisherman showed up. . .
The fisherman! She looked around frantically for a few moments, taking in her new surroundings. Ignoring the pillow slipping into the water, she looked over the edge of what looked to her like a large wooden bowl, and locked her sight onto her captive. She blinked once, twice, completely amused by the turn of events she was having. The young man didn't even notice he was uner her gaze, even when the small black bird by his side was making noise.
"Hey, Kuu, what are you doing. . .?" Denny looked over at him, confused. Suddenly he squawed and fluttered away, and Denny was confused until he looked up behind him. Casting a large shadow, was the mermaid's tail, up in the air.
Denny could only blink once before the tail came down with a large thunk, knocking him unconscious.
And that's anther chapter! Sorry if it's bland, but I wanted to get into the groove of writing again before I get into more eventful chapters. The real meeting will take place next chapter, so until then, read and review! :L
