All right. Let's see what happens. Thanks for reviewing, SilverWriter0927 (it's not over!), Heather, Bloodylilcorpse, and Gage the Hedgehog.

Geoff went back to the beach the next day, as promised. And just as Courtney had said, Bridgette was there.

"I wasn't sure you'd want to see me." she admitted."After you saved us and put yourself in danger. And after I wasn't completely honest with you about-"

"I didn't care." Geoff cut her off. "I get why you didn't tell me who you really were. I wouldn't have believed mermaids existed until I saw it for myself." He paused. "So what happened that night of the hurricane?"

"I'd seen the coloured lights..." Bridgette frowned. "What were those again? We don't have them underwater."

"Fireworks."

"Right." the blonde mermaid nodded. "Fireworks. So I went up to the ship and I saw you and a bunch of others. And then...I saw the damage during the hurricane.I saw when you got Harold to safety and then fell off the rigging, and I didn't think. So I got you out of the water and back to shore. But I left when you came to because I wasn't supposed to let humans see me."

Geoff smiled back at her. "I'm glad I saw you." he admitted. "Because...well...there's something there I feel with you and me. If you were there, you probably heard Harold getting on my case about not being married. I know we haven't known each other for long, but..."

Bridgette shook her head sadly. "I want to say yes, but I can't, Geoff. You're human. I'm a mermaid. I can't live above land, you can't live in the sea. You don't have gills. I do."

Unknown to the couple, Chris and Courtney were nearby. Chris sighed at his youngest. "Typical. I should have stopped giving Blaineley children after Sierra. Why can't Bridgette start listening to me about humans?"

"I promised Geoff that he could see her." Courtney reminded Chris. "You know, at some point, you're going to have to let Bridgette be free. She's sixteen, after all."

Chris looked carefully at his wife. He caught what she meant. "No way, Courtney. You don't honestly think I should..."

"Look at them." Courtney insisted. "They're clearly soulmates. I haven't seen that much compatibility in any couple in our kingdom. I haven't felt it. Nor has anyone else I know. But these two...I have a feeling each other is the only thing that'll make them truly happy."

Chris sighed. "I'm probably going to regret this, but..." He dipped his trident in the water, aiming it at Bridgette. As she felt her fins tingle, she froze.

"Bridge?" Geoff said. "Are you okay?"

There was no pain this time. Just tingles as her tail broke apart and became skin coloured. And as a bonus, the former mermaid was wearing a dress the colour of sea foam. And she was out of the sea, on the beach. She glanced back, and saw Chris, still looking annoyed. Courtney, on the other hand, grinned at her.

"Is that offer still open?" Bridgette asked teasingly.

"Do you have another answer?" Geoff asked in the same tone.

The blondes didn't waste another word. They finally shared the one kiss they had always planned on. A kiss that truly sealed it – they may not have known each other for long, but they were in love.

The wedding was six months later. The two wanted to make sure they were making the right decision, but after half a year passed and they had both been happy, they decided to tie the knot. After all, only after marriage would Geoff be eligible for the crown.

Most of the merpeople came to the ship-venued wedding, going to the surface for the first time. Even Lindsay fluttered down and watched, although she and Bridgette couldn't talk any more.

Bridgette promised she'd go to the beach frequently, so she wouldn't lose touch with her family, or DJ. By that time, most of her sisters' had their romantic future sealed too.

Even after Blaineley was gone, Alejandro still had his heart set on one of her daughters. He pursued Heather, playing every strategy in the book, and eventually, she agreed to date him for a little while. It was early days, but it seemed to be going all right.

Dakota had met a nice guy underwater, and they were currently hanging out together frequently. She insisted they weren't together...yet.

Eva wasn't interested in boys. She mostly hung out with Izzy and a guy friend of hers, but had no interest in dating.

Gwen was still single. She'd sworn off men and wanted to take a break. Justin had expressed some interest in her, but she had guessed – correctly – that he just wanted to get a connection to power and told him to get lost. Justin was mostly seen alone, although, like Alejandro, he re-integrated himself into the kingdom.

Izzy had a boyfriend, but it was nothing serious yet, even though he clearly worshipped the current she swam on. She mostly spent her time with Eva and her other friend – a group she'd named after her favourite alias for herself – Team E-Scope.

Sierra was still pursuing her long-time crush. He was still trying to avoid her.

But no one in the world was happier than Bridgette. She hadn't lost her connection to the world of the ocean, but she was part of the humans' world. And as she and Geoff kissed at their wedding, a rainbow appeared across the sky, courtesy of a certain trident. And Bridgette felt like the luckiest girl in the world, above the waves, and under the sea.
