Hi, guys! Sorry for the long hiatus, right now I´m working in the forth chapter of "Wonders of the sea" but I´m also working in "Sweet seventeen" from Heaven is a place on earth. Anyway, here´s the new chapter and I hope you enjoy it
PS: I´m alive…but I was busy :P
Synopsis: Rachel (Lea Michele) feels happy now that she has Lizzie (Dove Cameron) with her and as Finn (Cory Monteith) learns more about the human world and is happy with the love of his life, a person (Becca Tobin) who haunts him every day comes to visit them, as well Sarah (Sabrina Carpenter) and Marley (Melissa Benoist) try everything to stop it as does Melody (Raffey Cassidy)
"I´m so glad that you and Quinn finally made up" Lizzie commented when Rachel and she took a walk in the park after school.
"Well, actually all of you helped me" Rachel pointed as the two girls sat on the bench. "You wrote that beautiful song, counseled me and…"
"That´s my job, Rach, I´m your conscience" Lizzie said sweetly. "I have to guide you to the right way"
"Maybe we´re not so different" Rachel commented. "You´re like the other part of me"
"Maybe because I was always inside of you and now…I´m physically next to you" Lizzie said with a smile and then pointed at her. "So you don´t get rid of me so easily"
"You can count on it" Rachel replied as both laughed.
[Scene changes on the streets, Rachel and Lizzie are walking happily as the people who are passing by stare at them with curiosity]
[Rachel and Lizzie]
The other side,
The other side,
The other side of me
[Rachel]
By day I play the part in every way
all simple, sweet, calm and collected
Pretend to my friends I'm a chameleon
You make a girl feel disconnected
[Lizzie]
Feel like a star, a superhero
sometimes it's hard to separate
(Got too much on my plate)
[Rachel]
If you could see,
The other side of me.
I'm just like anybody else can't you tell
[Lizzie (Rachel)]
I hold the key (the key), to both realities
the girl that I want you to know if only I could show.
[Rachel and Lizzie starts dancing happily as lot of young girls join the choreography]
[Rachel and Lizzie]
The other side, the other side I want you to see
the other side, the other side, the other side of me
[Lizzie]
Inside I try to make the pieces fit right
A jigsaw puzzle everywhere
Cause I flip this script so many times I forget
Who's on stage, who's in the mirror
[Rachel]
Back in the spotlight, the crowd is calling
the paparazzi and the fame
(It can drive a girl insane)
[scene changes to a concert, Rachel and Lizzie are holding microphones and stand on a big stage, in front of them there´s a crowd cheering and some dancers are dancing in the background]
[Lizzie]
If you could see,
The other side of me.
I'm just like anybody else can't you tell
[Rachel]
I hold the key, to both realities
the girl that I want you to know if only I could show.
[Rachel and Lizzie]
The other side, the other side I want you to see
the other side, the other side, the other side of me
[Lizzie]
Down inside I'm not that different
like everyone I have a dream
[Rachel]
Don't want to hide, just want to fit in
sometimes it's harder than it seems
[Lizzie]
If you could see,
The other side of me.
I'm just like anybody else can't you tell
[Rachel (Lizzie)]
I hold the key (the key), to both realities
the girl that I want you to know if only I could show (yeah)
[Rachel and Lizzie]
The other side, the other side
I want you to see (yeah!)
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
[Back to the present, Rachel and Lizzie are happily dancing around the park]
The other side, the other side
I want you to see
The other side, the other side
The other side of me
[Finish the performance, Rachel and Lizzie share a hug as the people applaud at them]
That night, Rachel was walking under the moonlight when she saw that certain gorgeous young man was staring at her all the time, she nervously ran a lack of her hair behind her ear and bites her low lip.
"Don´t do that" Finn said swimming to her and splashing in the process, the moonlight made spark his turquoise scales and his blue tail. "I can´t see your beauty if you hide from me"
"You´re perfect, Finn" Rachel responded by sitting on the edge of the pool and putting her tiny feet in the water. "I still don´t understand why someone like you wants to be with someone like me"
"Stop" Finn replied looking at her. "You´re perfect in my eyes, Rachel. I love you with all my being and…you are magical, instead I…I´m half fish" he remarked this looking down at his tail and then at her. "I wish I could be like you"
"You have legs when you out of the water, love" Rachel said softly putting her hand on his cheek. "Of course, unless that you go to the sea witch and give your voice in change to stay with me in land forever"
"Ariel did that and she eventually got married with the prince Eric" Finn confessed. "My grandpa Triton told me everything when I was a kid"
"Wait…the story of the Little Mermaid is real?" Rachel raised an eyebrow and Finn nodded. "All this time I thought it was a myth"
"Actually, Ariel is my aunt but her and my uncle Eric died long time ago, Melody is my cousin" Finn said sadly. "Sometimes I keep in touch with her"
"Oh my God" Rachel covers her mouth with her hand and then looked at him sadly. "I´m so sorry"
"It´s okay, babe" Finn said. "It was long time ago"
"Can I ask, how is that you and Melody talk if your aunt and uncle died?"
"Well…" Finn started taking a deep breath. "Ariel and Eric took a romantic boat ride but they didn´t notice that a storm was coming and…drowned. Melody was babysit by Flounder and Sebastian that night and days later…she found out about her parents, my grandfather Triton took her to Atlantic and she lives with him since, even she has legs her entire life, she has the ability to breathe under water"
"How long is she now?" Rachel discretely asked.
"Twelve" Finn sadly responded. "She had four when the accident happened"
"I would like to meet her" Rachel said jumping into the water and Finn immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, she looks down and he lifts her chin to force her to look at him.
"Hey, don´t be sad, Rach" Finn said sweetly. "I promise you will meet her soon, now please can we…how are you saying when you kiss with tongue during a long time which is awesome?"
"Making out" Rachel giggled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "And yes we can"
"I´m so in love with you" Finn said giving her open-mouthed kisses on her lips as she deepened the kiss.
Both started making out in the water, Finn smirked against her lips and she strokes his tail.
"Where did you come from?" she asked as they parted their lips and look at each other lovingly. "You´re magical"
"From Coventry" Finn said giving her his adorable half smile. "But I want to be part of your world" Rachel simply smiles at him and he pecked her lips once more. "You okay, baby?"
"Yes I am, I´m perfectly fine, Finn" Rachel said and then looked at him tenderly. "Actually, how I wish that you can sing to me"
"I already did, Rach" Finn chuckled and kisses her hand.
"Yeah and your duet with your sister was really epic" Rachel nodded and then her face turned serious. "But I´d love my own personal concert"
"Your wish is my command, baby girl" Finn lovingly said and kisses her lips once more.
[Finn looked at her and when he opened his mouth, a sexy and beautiful baritone voice came out from it, Rachel looked at him speechless that this handsome half fish boy really could sing, she previously had heard him with Marley and it was amazing, but this was magical]
[Finn]
Tonight it's very clear
'Cause we're both lying here
There's so many things I wanna say
I will always love you
I would never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget
Say things I might regret
It breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't wanna lose you
I could never make it alone
[Rachel feel tears in her eyes to see that her man serenades in that way, he kept singing to her as he strokes her hair]
I am a man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall
You help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero
You've been dreaming of
We'll live forever
Knowing together that we did it all
For the glory of love
[Finn takes Rachel´s hands in his and stares at her lovingly, his tail resting in the water]
It's like a knight in shining armor
From a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
Take you to my castle far away
I am the man who will fight for your honor
I'll be the hero that your dreaming of
We're gonna live for ever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever
Knowing together
That we did it all for the glory of love
We did it all for love
"That was beautiful" Rachel said once the water prince finished singing. "there´s no doubt you have the most beautiful voice of the ocean and that´s coming from me"
"Ursula said the same about my aunt Ariel and stole her voice in exchange for legs" Finn replied sarcastically but Rachel just stared at him. "That was scientific facts...well...I have no idea what it means to be a scientific to be honest"
"Scientist is a person who creates and experiments...they can achieve great discoveries" Rachel explained. "Even they are given an award for their work"
"Like the guy who invented the bulb light and got the Nobel Prize for it?" Finn asked raising an eyebrow as he made little waves in the water.
"Yeah, that was Thomas Alva Edison" Rachel added. "And how do you know about him?"
"We know almost everything about the human world" Finn said with a smirk. "My uncle Eric and my aunt Ariel visited the museum and they saw the statue of Thomas Edison...then...Melody told me"
"Oh; that sounds interesting" Rachel smiled as she got up from the pool. "Well...I have to go now...I need to sleep"
"I´m going to miss you, my love" Finn said sadly as he brushed her cheek with his thumb.
"See you in the morning, my aquatic prince" Rachel leaned and kissed his lips passionately, Finn smiling against her lips. A minute later, they broke the kiss.
Meanwhile, in the underwater world; Kitty was swimming when she saw Sebastian returned from babysitting Melody, so the mermaid took advantage and swam towards him, grabbing him by the shell and the crab began to complain of pain.
"Ow, ow, ow; that hurts" Sebastian complained. "Let go off me...this is no way to treat a counselor of the king of the seven seas"
"Counselor´s king my butt" Kitty said. "Now, spit it out, crab...where is my fiancé?"
"I don´t know what are you talking about?" Sebastian confessed.
"Don´t play dumb, Sebastian" Kitty responded. "Finn Hudson, my fiancé; Melody´s cousin and Marley´s twin brother. If you don´t tell me where is he...I will go on search for him on my own"
"I won´t fail into your trap" Sebastian refuted. "I´ll be a crab but I have brain and I won´t let me manipulate by a dangerous mermaid like you. And so I have understood...you don´t even love Finn; then why are you so obsessed with that boy if there´s so many mermen in this wide ocean"
"Because our parents arranged the marriage, dunce" Kitty replied rolling her eyes. "I just want to get my fiancé to negotiate and break out of this mess"
"Well...you´re not going to like this but...apparently your precious fiancé cheated on you with a human" Sebastian said as he wiped his tongs on the corals.
"What?!" Kitty said shocked. "You´re kidding, right? Merpeople and humans can´t date"
"Melody´s parents did" Sebastian responded. "Ariel was my friend, you know?"
"Don´t make me lose patience, seafood" Kitty replied ominously as the poor crab gulped. "Where is that knucklehead so I can kick his merman´s ass for cheating on me and getting away with it"
"Fine, I will tell you" Sebastian replied shaking. "With the condition that I won´t became shark food…I´m too young to die"
"Just…tell me" Kitty said grabbing him. "You have ten seconds of your life is over…ten…nine…eight…"
"He fled from home five days ago...and appeared in the pool of Rachel Berry, both fell in love at first sight" Sebastian informed. "The two of them have been inseparable ever since and Finn doesn´t want to come back...he wants to turn into human to be with her"
"Mmm, exactly like Ariel did for getting prince Eric´s attention" Kitty said to herself and then looked at the crab. "Thanks, buddy. I knew you´d be really useful"
"I didn´t do it for you, I did it for Finn" Sebastian confessed. "He deserves someone better than you...and if he wants to be with that human girl...then it´s fine by me"
"That´s what you think?" Kitty asked. "Well...we´ll see about that" she dropped Sebastian on the rock and swam away as she splashed water in the process with her fin.
"What a witch" Sebastian said upset. "Just wait for Carole to find out that her future daughter in law is a monster" he responded getting up as he walked through the sand.
"Sebastian" Flounder, the young fish who was also babysitting Melody, swam towards him. "Are you okay? You look upset"
"Ugh, don´t remind me" Sebastian replied as he stared at the little fish. "I just met with that hateful mermaid with golden hair and sarcasm of a clownfish"
"Kitty?" Flounder asked as Sebastian nodded. "Oh no, this is terrible"
"That´s not the worst" Sebastian lamented. "She threatened me to tell her where was Finn or otherwise she would take me to the sharks to devour me alive"
"How could you?" the boy argued. "You betrayed our friend; I never thought that a crab like you have fallen so slow. If Ariel would still alive…"
"What would you do in my place, young man?" Sebastian argued. "Kitty is scary when she threats…I…I don´t want to be at the base of the food chain"
"I´d rather be eaten by a shark to be a snitch" Flounder replied upset.
"You´re right" Sebastian said sadly. "We have to do something…to warn Finn that Kitty goes on his search"
"We have to separate" the little fish said as he moved his fins in the water. "I will tell the queen that her kids went to visit Melody and…you´re going to warn Finn about Kitty"
"I think you should go with Finn" Sebastian suggested. "I´ll go with the queen, she´s going to believe me because…no offense but…you´re just a kid"
"Fine, then I will go with Finn" Flounder replied rolling his eyes and starting to swim. "Good luck"
"You too" Sebastian shake his tong with Flounder´s fin before go in separate ways.
Both sea animals were separated in different ways; Sebastian was looking for the queen, who was distraught because she never heard of them again for five days. Mainly Finn, because he was going to contract nuptials with Kitty and the preparations for the wedding were priority and Marley because she was so innocent and young to be alone in the world.
"Your majesty" Sebastian replied politely making a timid bow. The queen had tired eyes for the long wait. "you wanted to see me?"
"Oh dear Sebastian; what I´m going to do?" Carole lamented. "My two children haven´t returned home; I´ve searched the whole ocean and...I´m scared that the Sea Witch has kidnapped them"
"Don´t worry, your excellence" Sebastian said trying to calm the queen. "Finn and Marley are completely safe...they are right now in Atlantic visiting Melody"
"But I don´t understand" Carole replied confused. "I thought you and little Flounder were babysitting her"
"To be honest, my lady; Melody doesn´t need a baby sitter...she is almost a teenager" Sebastian said. "I´m sure the girl can take care of herself"
"I know" Carole sighed sadly. "I just need to know that my kids are fine...I haven´t eaten or slept for thinking that something terrible could happen to them"
"It´s okay, your highness; the prince and princess couldn´t have gone away" Sebastian said gulping. "They are inseparable and...Atlantic is not far from Coventry. We just have to swim through that...scary pit from there" he said pointing. "And then...it´s swimming through the reef. Plus, they know that they are not allowed to go to the Australian current alone"
"You know the twins very well, don´t you?" Carole asked sadly and the crab nodded. "This is so hard for me, Sebastian...I can´t plan a wedding if my son is not here and...Kitty surely must worried about him and she´s on his search"
"Trust me, my lady; she did and threatened me to be food for sharks" Sebastian muttered under his breath but not enough for the queen to hear.
"What? Did you say something, dear?" Carole asked to see the crab got really nervous.
"I...I said nothing, your majesty" Sebastian replied nervously. "I just forgot what I was going to say...well...I retire" he said with another bow. "if I have news about the twins, I will let you know"
"What I´m going to tell Kitty´s parents?" Carole said as she put her hands on her head. "It was supposed that our children were going to get married"
"I´m afraid you have to postpone the wedding, my queen" the crab replied wisely. "Just until things return to normal"
"I guess you´re right" Carole replied sadly. "Thank you, Sebastian"
"No problem" he responded as he swam away of the castle. "I lied for you but I won´t do it again, children" he said firmly as if he was talking to Finn and Marley.
"Um...Sebastian, with who are you talking to" a sweet young female voice spoke behind him.
"holy oceans, Melody" Sebastian said as he recognized the voice and then turned to see the beautiful young girl with skin as white as now, eyes as blue as the ocean and hair as black as night. "Haven´t I told you that you can´t be alone in the sea?"
"I´m almost a teenager, remember?" Melody replied as she and Sebastian swam to the surface. "Besides, I heard everything you said to Aunt Carole about me"
"How much you heard?" Sebastian asked.
"The necessary" the young girl replied with a smirk. "By the way...have you seen Finn and Marley? I haven´t seen them for five days"
"You see, kid...your cousin fled the ocean after he found out that he was forced to marry Kitty and...On his journey he met a beautiful human girl and...Fell in love with her" Sebastian said. "The rest is history...and as for Marley; well...she was in search of her brother"
"Ugh, that Kitty girl gives me salmonella" Melody flinched. "Why Finn would marry someone like her?"
"That´s why the poor boy ran away" Sebastian replied. "I just hope he doesn´t do the same craziness that your mother did"
"The difference is that my mom was fooled by Ursula to give her legs so she could be with my dad forever" Melody said and then sighed sadly. "I still miss them"
"They are watching over you, kiddo" Sebastian said putting a tong on the young girl´s shoulder. "Don´t be sad"
"We should look for Finn and Marley" Melody responded changing the subject. "my aunt is really worried about them"
"Yeah, let´s go" Sebastian said before stopping. "But wait a minute, what is the king Triton going to think if he finds his precious granddaughter left the castle without permission"
"My grandpa knows that you and Flounder babysit me; so he won´t have trouble knowing that I´m with you" the girl replied calmly. "Let´s go"
"I just hope that humans don´t think you´re crazy for talking to a crab" Sebastian muttered as Melody was out of the water and walk on the sand, taking the crab in her hands like a treasure; her long black hair and her dress moved gently in the sea breeze while her bare feet left footprints in the sand.
"Shh, don´t talk to me and no one has to know that my nanny is a crab" Melody whispered as she left the beach.
on the other hand, Finn took advantage that no one see him so he could out of the water and be with his beautiful human girl; he covered his nakedness with a towel wrapped around his waist and barefoot walked out the back door without anyone noticing; he climbed the stairs, quietly entered Rachel´s room; who slept peacefully, the boy got up on her bed and wrapped his arms around her waist as he pulled her closer to his chest and fell asleep, Rachel was so sleep that she didn´t noticed that her boyfriend was sleeping next to her.
However, Marley; after having been in the library researching about humans' life, now she was swimming in the pool where her brother had previously been...her tail and fin forming waves in the water. In the distance, she saw the cute little fish swam towards her and a big smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Flounder!" Marley exclaimed happily as she hugged him. "Hi, my little friend; I missed you so much"
"I missed you too, Marley" Flounder said as he hugged the little mermaid again. "And your brother; where have you been, guys? The queen is really worried about you? Sebastian went to see her"
"Well...actually I went to look for Finn after he ran away from home" Marley explained as she sat on the pool´s step, her tail resting on the water. "Did you know that my brother and Kitty are going to get married?"
"I knew that" Flounder replied sadly. "That´s why I came to warn Finn about his fiancée...do you know where is he now?"
"He is now sleeping with Rachel" Marley replied sheepishly and the little fish turned to see his mermaid friend with confusion. "No...They´re only sleeping, is not what you think"
"The fact that I´m a kid doesn´t mean I don´t understand where the babies come from" Flounder replied as Marley shook her head, so the little fish decided to change the subject for not doing it more awkward. "It´s really important that Finn knows Kitty is haunting him"
"This is much worse than I thought" Marley said sadly. "Our mom is sad because Finn and I fled from home...and now Kitty" she turned to see Flounder. "this is horrible"
"We have to warn him, Marley" Flounder said. "Before she finds him first"
"You´re right, little buddy" Marley said with a sigh. "but now it´s too late; tomorrow...Rachel´s friends, my brother, Rachel and I want to go to the beach to spend the day so...we need reinforcements to avoid that Kitty finds my brother"
"Well..." Flounder muttered. "Sebastian was looking for..."
"Melody?" Flounder and Marley exclaimed as they saw that the girl was walking towards them with the crab in her hand.
"What are you doing here?" all they asked at unison.
"We came to warn Finn about Kitty" Melody finally said. "And I see you found Marley, Flounder"
"Yes, she´s been here all the time" Flounder replied. "She was easy to find"
"Where is Finn?" Sebastian asked. "we have to warn him about his psychopath fiancée?"
"He is with his human girlfriend now" Flounder replied. "I don´t think he wakes up to come and talk to us"
"This is bad luck" Melody lamented.
"Not if we do something about it" Sebastian said as Flounder, Marley and Melody listened attentively. "Tomorrow when all of us go to the beach...we set up a master plan to ger rid of that witch with mermaid costume"
"I just hope it´s not too late" Flounder replied sighing.
"Don´t worry, guys; everything´s going to be okay" Marley calmed her two friends and cousin. "Trust me"
Once they agreed; Marley, Sebastian, Flounder and Melody went to sleep. The next afternoon, Rachel, Finn, Sarah, Lizzie and Marley walked on the beach as they set the picnic for they could eat.
"You know? I had a very strange dream" Rachel said once all sat on the sand. "I dreamed that a certain boy got into my bed and hugged me, I felt it so real that I didn´t want to wake up"
"Then you didn´t want to know it was me?" Finn asked innocently as he wrapped his arms around her waist and tickled her at the same time.
"Obviously I knew it was you, babe" Rachel cooed as she leaned and kissed her handsome boyfriend, Finn smirked and deepened the kiss with his tongue.
"Um...hello..." Sarah said snapping her fingers in front of them. "There´s children here" she pointed at herself. "Could you guys be more discreet and get a room? Public displays of affection are not really wanted at this moment"
"Sarah, they are in love" Lizzie explained softly at the young teen that simply rolled her eyes.
""Posts" Melody muttered as she, Flounder and Sebastian hid behind a rock. Flounder being a fish, he had to be in the water all the time.
"This beach is nice" Marley commented as their friends watched the ocean.
"I know" Finn said as he kept watching the ocean. "And to think that we call the sea "home"
"You want to go back to the underwater world?" Rachel asked turning to see her boyfriend. "I thought you were happy here"
"I´m happy, Rach" Finn said sighing. "It´s just...I wish my mom doesn´t force me to marry; that´s all"
"Well...here you are not forced to marriage" Sarah explained to Finn. "You choose who to marry...in this case, you choose as your wife the girl you are in love"
"Rachel" Finn muttered to himself but Marley of course, used the telepathy to read her brother´s mind.
"Of course it´s her" Marley responded looking at him. "She is your soulmate...we just need to convince mom to change the laws and you can marry her"
"Well, well, well" a female and familiar voice said, interrupting the peaceful time. "Look what we have here?"
"Kitty?" Finn and Marley asked at the same time and shocked.
"Oh hell no" Sarah said upset. "What is she doing here?"
"Kitty" Finn said walking up to her. "How did you find me?"
"Hello, future husband" Kitty sardonically said. "I have my sources" she added smoothing her long blond hair. "what hurts me the most is that you cheat on my with a silly human girl when we´re a weeks from the wedding...and you still have the nerve to run away from your home and cause a heart attack to your poor mother"
"I told you to leave me alone, Kitty" Finn replied angrily. "I never cheated on you, okay? I found the love of my life and yes, she´s a human, but she´s much more beautiful, pure and smarter than you. I don´t even want to marry you so...I ask you kindly to get the hell out of my life"
"Oh snap" Sarah muttered as she and Lizzie high-fived.
"You heard him, cold hearted, snake" Lizzie said staring at the other blonde. "Walk away"
"Oh, I see...did you prefer human friends and betray one of yours" Kitty replied upset. "How can you be so hypocrite?"
"Just leave, Kitty" Marley said standing in front of her brother. "We don´t care what you think"
"Stay out of this, honey boo boo" Kitty said looking at Marley. "You´re too fat to be a mermaid...you should be a whale instead the queen´s daughter"
"Hey!" Finn yelled at his fiancée. "How did you just called my sister?"
"I´m just being honest" Kitty defended.
"no, you are being a bitch" Rachel said furiously as she threw sand at her. "now leave my boyfriend and my friends alone"
"and who the hell are...oh I know you" Kitty said turning to Rachel. "home wrecker"
"it´s now or never" Flounder said to Sebastian and Melody.
"you are so ugly" Kitty continued staring at Rachel. "I don´t understand how my "future husband" wants someone like you"
"you take that back!" Lizzie yelled as she slapped Kitty across the face; the rest of them stay shocked at the scene. "if you mess with Finn and Rachel; you mess with me"
"and me" Marley said walking up to her. "and by the way...I´m skinny; not like you that you are blind and you can´t see" she smirked.
"and me" Sarah said as she walked towards them.
"and me" Melody came from her hiding, Finn smiling at his little cousin.
"And me" Sebastian said walking towards her and pinching her hard on the leg.
"oW!" Kitty yelled in pain. "you evil crab; you will be sorry"
"and me" Flounder finished as she splashed big water to Kitty wetting her legs and appearing her tail, from the color of the dawn.
"and me; you should be sent to the circus freak" Quinn said walking towards them as she pushed Kitty in the water. "And let me tell you something, bitch. if you ever insult my cousin again, I´m going to kick your fish´s ass and sent you to Switzerland with no return ticket"
"preach" Sarah smirked at Quinn walked towards the blonde mermaid
"leave my cousin and friends alone and get the hell out of here" Quinn threatened her. "I have pepper spray in my purse and I´m not afraid of using it"
"all of you will be sorry" Kitty said furiously as she "she plunged into the water and splashed everyone with her fin; Finn and Marley stepped back so the water drops didn´t touch their legs and this become tail again.
"how did you know that my boyfriend and his sister were sea creatures?" Rachel asked when her cousin came to the rescue.
"because I met a handsome merman in the pool last night who is your property" Quinn said at her cousin with a smirk. "by the way, the stories about mermaids and fairies fascinates me; so somehow I had to find out about the secret"
-FLASHBACK-
Finn is swimming in the pool when Quinn sees his tail and tries to dive into the water really scared.
"no; please don´t be scared" Quinn said sweetly. "I know what you are and I´m not going to hurt you"
"I´m sorry" Finn apologized. "it´s just...I don´t on trust in humans very well...I just trust Rachel, Sarah and Lizzie"
"I´m sorry that I tried to attack you with the baseball bat" Quinn said shyly. "if you had told me the truth that you were a merman from the beginning I wouldn´t have taken other measures"
"it´s okay; normally people like you are scared of people like me" Finn responded as Quinn laughed.
"I just wanted to say that...I´m glad you make my cousin really happy. you are such a good guy, Finn. and...you have my blessing on marrying her" Quinn said softly.
"are you serious?" Finn asked as Quinn nodded.
"of course" Quinn smiled as she sighed. "plus...I´m in love with someone else and I´m scared of telling him. he is the most amazing guy in the planet. his name is Noah Puckerman"
"oh...the guy with the mohawk in glee club?" Finn asked as Quinn blushed to thinking about Puck.
"is that a bad thing?" Quinn asked.
"not at all" Finn said. "you should be honest with him and tell him how you feel. that´s exactly what I did with Rachel; I wish my mom could change the laws and don´t force me to marry Kitty Wilde. I can´t stand her; she´s spoiled and mean"
"I used to be like her" Quinn responded sadly. "I dated a sweet guy...Sam; but I was mean and the head cheerleader...I bullied everyone...even my cousin. I slept with Puck and had a baby girl Beth which we gave up for adoption. I made Sam believe that the baby girl was his, but it was impossible because we never had sex"
"what made you become into a better person?" Finn asked with curiously.
"feeling completely alone during the pregnancy...just my cousin was there for me and...Puck" Quinn responded. "I wish I could go back in time and fix the mess I made; now Sam is dating Mercedes and we´re just good friends. But the fate always told me that Puck is the one"
"that´s exactly how I feel about Rachel" Finn said thinking of the love of his life. "I would quit my life in the ocean just to be with her"
-END OF THE FLASHBACK-
"What an interesting conversation you had with Quinn" Rachel said as she wrapped her arms around Finn´s neck and tiptoed to kiss him.
"you´re the only girl for me, Rach" Finn said lovingly. "I don´t love Kitty or any mermaid or girl…I just want you"
"we just need to get rid of Kitty so you guys can live happily ever after" Melody said as they laughed.
"oh, look; they are not the little mermaid´s friends?" Sarah asked as she stared at Flounder and Sebastian.
"everything is true" Marley explained. "Melody is the daughter of Ariel and Eric; the little mermaid is not a legend"
"thank you for helping us" Rachel said as she walked towards the two sea animals. "we wouldn´t have done without you"
"any Finn and Marley´s friends are our friends" Flounder said sweetly as he moved his fin in the water. "Ariel would be really proud of you"
"and sorry for telling Kitty where you were, Finn" Sebastian apologized. "she threatened me to turn me into the shark´s lunch"
"I understand why you did, pal" Finn said at the crab. "you were really brave for standing up against hers"
"one thing is for certain" Lizzie said as everyone turned to see her. "Kitty is a big trouble"
"while you stay away from her, then everything will be okay" Quinn said. "she knows that if she messes with my cousin and her boyfriend; I will pepper spray her" everyone shared a group hug; even the animals to make their friendship more stronger and stand against Kitty.
That night, Finn and Rachel were on her bed cuddling after an intense make-out session; their lips were swollen and there were hickeys everwhere.
"wow, I don´t know which was more intense" Rachel thought. "that your crazy ex made a whole scene at the beach or…that we just made out?"
"both" Finn said stroking her hair. "I really meant what I said on the beach, Rachel. You´re the only girl for me and I´m in love with you. I wish I could convince my mom and…"
"it´s okay, Finn" Rachel said taking his hand. "eventually things get more clearer" he and Rachel hugged tightly, enjoying the feeling of being together.
" please stay with me" Finn said staring at her big brown eyes.
"what are you saying?" Rachel asked confused as Finn, got up from the bed and pulled out a velvet box from his pocket.
"Rachel Berry…." Finn said getting on one knee beside Rachel´s bed and showing her a beautiful diamond ring. "will you marry me?"
