OK, let's keep going. And while I remember, "Kiss The Girl" is not mine. Thanks for reviewing, Elizabeth Life Stone, Gage the Hedgehog and Bloodylilcorpse.

The next morning, Bridgette was woken up by a knock on the door. "Miss?" A young woman with bright scarlet hair, possibly younger than Bridgette, opened the door. "I was sent up to see if you were awake."

The minute the blonde remembered where she was, and remembered the plans made the previous night. Geoff was going to show her around the town, and she couldn't wait.

This time, Bridgette wore a more casual outfit for the occasion. She found clothes that were similarly coloured to her fins and seashells – a sky blue hoodie and light blue jean shorts, perfect for the sunny weather. And for the first time (not including the previous night), she wore her hair up to keep it out of her eyes. One of the servants helped her tie her blonde locks into a ponytail.

Geoff was also dressed casually, wearing the hat he'd worn the first time she'd seen him, as well as another unbuttoned shirt and shorts.

It was the day of wonders, a day Bridgette would remember for the rest of her life. There were so many wonders. She'd never seen a car, and they didn't have shops under the sea. They passed buskers, and Bridgette wondered, had Chris known about those, would he have made her hover around and sing for money? Probably, but there was no chance of that now.

Geoff noticed the total joy and excitement in Bridgette's face, and he couldn't help smiling, too. He felt something stir when she was happy, like this. In a way, it was funny, her being so happy by things that he took for granted. In other ways, it was simply endearing, seeing how she loved everything around her.

Bridgette especially loved the flowers she saw. Sure, there were flowers in the water, but none that were so bright and beautiful, in so many different hues!

And Geoff continued making awkward compliments, and Bridgette finally picked up on what he was doing. Instantly, she began to forgive the less-than-suave approach, and a warm feeling spread through her.

In the town square, there was an old-fashioned celebration. Back, centuries ago, it would have been Mayday. Therefore, there was a celebration paying tribute to the tradition that was nearly gone.

Geoff grinned, watching them, and then held out a hand to the girl beside him. "Wanna dance, Bridge?"

Bridgette didn't know how to dance, but she watched the footwork of the women already there. Then she grinned and took his hand.

It was easier than she suspected, and it was fun, too. Geoff wasn't an especially skilled dancer, either, but the way he was obviously having fun made her smile. And the idea that it was with her, a silent girl who had less than forty-eight hours left to be human, just made her feel amazing. In fact, the world 'love' began swirling through her head. She dismissed it – after all, she'd only known Geoff for a day or so. How could she love him, after that little time?

As for Geoff...he hadn't known Bridgette for long, but he recognized something in her. She loved being there, she knew it. And he recognized a sweet, caring nature in her. She'd gone into some of the shops, but noticing something, had asked Geoff via iPad: "Are you bored with these shops? We can go somewhere else if you are." And when a girl of about six had fallen over in the street, and her mother was a few paces ahead and didn't notice for a few seconds, Bridgette had already helped the girl up and checked out if she had any cuts or grazes.

Then again, when a pair of twins passed her, and one bumped into her on purpose, Bridgette turned around to glare at the girl, but didn't start any kind of confrontation. And Geoff respected that kind of maturity.
Still, neither mermaid nor prince made a move to kiss the other.

DJ had made it to the canal, while Lindsay was watching from on land. She reported back.

"Any sign of kissing?" he asked her.

Lindsay shook her head. "Not once. They were dancing, though, with a bunch of other couples. I think he wants to kiss her."

Harold had evidently caught the chemistry between his friend and the strange girl, and saw a chance of marriage in it. This might explain why Geoff and Bridgette ended up in a riverboat at sunset. This time, DJ and Courtney swam up from the ocean to the river.

"We need to push it a little further." Courtney whispered to DJ and Lindsay.

"Oh, what about a song?" Lindsay suggested. "I'll sing!" And before the two merpeople could stop her, she started screeching something that not even they could understand.

Bridgette may not have understood Lindsay's speech, but she heard the screeching, and scowled. She had a good idea of what Lindsay was trying, but it was awful.

"Wow, I hope whatever that is is all right." Geoff remarked. "Sounds like it's in pain."

Bridgette forced her anger down and nodded somberly.

Courtney gave a sigh. "You want something done right, gotta do it yourself. Music, yes. Lindsay, HECK no!"

"So what's the plan?" DJ asked.

Courtney grinned. "I have a song I wrote a few years ago. I just need to adjust the lyrics a bit, then I'll sing it. It'll be a subconscious message that'll make Geoff want to kiss Bridgette, if he feels anything at all for her. And Bridgette will definitely take her cues from the song. We just need a little help from the others around, and the two of us will sing. Just follow my lead."

She glided through the reeds, asking the help of every creature with any sense of rhythm, melody, music, harmony...or anything. Finally, she had a lineup, and told them the simple but sweet notes they needed to play. "Okay, everyone. Ready? Percussion, begin. Strings..."

The music played by the other river residents. Then it was time for her cue. She hid behind some reeds, but made sure Geoff was close enough to hear her, although she was singing softly. "There, you see her, sitting there across the way,

She don't got a lot to say, but there's something about her.

And you don't know why, but you're dying to try, you wanna kiss the girl."

Bridgette heard Courtney's voice. The brunette mermaid winked at her and ducked out of sight, just as Geoff asked "Did you hear something?"

Bridgette shrugged and smiled, as Courtney continued to whisper-sing the words, always reminding Geoff that he wanted Bridgette, that he wanted to kiss her.

After another verse, Courtney looked at DJ. "Come on, harmonize with me now."

DJ managed to join in the tune, as Courtney positively belted out "Sha la la la la la, my oh my,

Looks like the boy too shy, ain't gonna kiss the girl

Sha la la la la la, ain't that sad

Ain't it a shame, too bad, he's gonna miss the girl."

Bridgette, encouraged, leaned forward just a tiny bit, but Geoff didn't respond. Yet. He smiled, and managed to say "You know, I really like hanging out with you, like we did today. You wanna do the same thing again tomorrow?"

Bridgette nodded, smiling.

"Sweet!"

Courtney began another verse. "Now's your moment, floating in a blue lagoon,

Boy you better do it soon, no time will be better,

She don't say a word, and she won't say a word until you kiss the girl."

Lindsay was trying to join in, and starting to ruin it. "DJ, get her to shut up!" Courtney hissed, before starting a new chorus. DJ managed to silence Lindsay just enough for Courtney to keep the song going. Bridgette leaned in once again, and this time, Geoff's blue eyes went wide in anticipation. He leaned in too, closer, closer, closer...

Courtney tried not to show her hope as her song drew to a close.

"Go on and...kiss the girl." she sang again.

But just as their lips were about to meet, their boat was overturned. Only DJ saw the cause – two mermen with malicious smirks.

Two slippery eels can cause a lot of trouble, as Noah has said. Even though they're only metaphorically eels in this story...yeah, Noah's opinion on Alejandro is the reason he and Justin play Flotsam and Jetsam...so...um...have a great day!
