When the storm cleared they lay them on the beach and checked to see if they were alive. Stan flew over to them, having found shelter on the same beach earlier.
"Is she dead?" Mermando asked Stan.
"Hm...hard to say...hang on." Stan put his head over Mabel's chest. "No, no, she's alive. I got a heartbeat. Let me check the other."
Stan then went over to Dipper and put his head on his chest.
"Yup, this one's alive too." Stan nodded. "Good work you two." He then smiled.
Wendy smiled...but her smile faded and she looked away when she saw Mermando smirking at her. Mermando shook his head and turned back to Mabel.
"She is so bonita..." He sighed before taking out his guitar (which he always kept on him) and playing it as he sang:
¿Qué iba a dar
Vivir donde estás?
¿Qué iba a pagar
Para estar aquí a tu lado?
¿Qué iba a hacer para verte
Sonriendo a mí?
Soos then washed up onto a rock, dazed from the storm, and saw Mermando gazing at Mabel. His jaw dropped and Stan pushed it back up with a smirk. Even though he tended to avoid humans now he had seen enough of them in the past to know that they weren't all bad.
MERMANDO:
Donde íbamos a caminar?
Donde íbamos a correr?
Si pudiéramos estar todo el día en el sol?
Sólo tú y yo
Y yo podría ser
Parte de tu mundo
Mabel started to wake up...and saw Mermando gazing at her. She couldn't help but smile. Dipper slightly woke up too and saw Wendy, who started to smile again. Suddenly they heard joyful squealing, and Mermando and Wendy disappeared into the ocean with Waddles running a few feet after them. Dipper and Mabel's parents showed up.
"Oh there you two are, we were so worried about you." Queen Pines said as she and King Pines helped their children up.
"You both really delight in trying to give us heart attacks don't you?" King Pines chuckled.
"A guy..." Mabel whispered, not hearing her parents; she got up and looked around. "Rescued me...he was singing...in Spanish...he had the most wonderful voice."
"I think you swallowed a bit too much seawater." Queen Pines said with concern.
"Did a guy save you too Dipper?" King Pines chuckled.
"No...I did hear a guy sing though." Dipper also looked around. "But he didn't save me...a lovely girl did. She didn't say anything...but she did smile...she also had beautiful eyes..."
"I think they did swallow too much seawater." King Pines nodded. "Come on you two, we'd best get you home."
Mabel and Dipper reluctantly followed their parents back to the castle, with Waddles giving up the search and following as well.
"Let's just forget the whole thing ever happened okay?" Soos suggested nervously. "The Sea King will never know. You won't tell him. I won't tell him. I will stay in one piece."
Wendy and Mermando didn't listen. They just watched Dipper and Mabel leave. Mermando sang again:
No sé cuando
I no sé cómo
Pero sé que la derecha a partir de algo ahora!
Mira y verás
Algún día voy a ser
Parte de tu mundo!
What none of them knew was that Robbie and Bud were spying on them.
"Oh no no no." Gideon laughed. "I can't stand it, it's too easy! The child is in love with a human! And not just any human, a princess! Not a bad looking princess I admit, but still a human princess! Oh daddy will love that. King Nereido's headstrong lovesick son would make a charming addition to my...little garden."
He grinned evilly at his collection of polyps, who all looked at him fearfully as he laughed.
The next day, Mermando's brothers had gotten up and were getting ready.
"Mermando, hermano, it's time to come out." Manuelo called into the hallway that lead to their bedrooms. "You've been in there all morning!"
Mermando came out humming happily. His brothers looked at him confusedly.
"What is with him lately?" Milagro asked.
Mermando quickly checked his appearance and then swam out of the room, meeting up with Nereido along the way.
"Good morning papa." He smiled as he left.
Nereido and Mermando's brothers watched Mermando leave.
"Oh he's got it bad." Mateo said.
"What?" Nereido asked. "What has she got?"
"Isn't it obvious papa?" Manuelo said. "Mermando's in love."
"Mermando? In love?" Nereido was surprised.
Outside the palace, far outside the palace, Mermando was laying on a rock picking petals off a flower. Soos was pacing underneath him.
"Okay, so far so good." Soos said, blowing petals away from him. "I don't think the king knows...but it will not be easy keeping something like this a secret for long..."
"She loves me...she loves me not...she loves me!" Mermando plucked the last petal with delight. "I knew it!"
"Mermando, stop talking crazy!" Soos scolded.
"I got to see her again..." Mermando said. "Tonight! Stan knows where she lives!"
He started to swim away and Soos grabbed his tail.
"Mermando please!" Soos pleaded/scolded. "Will you get your head out of the clouds and back in the water where it belongs?"
"I'll swim up to her castle...then Wendy will splash around to get her attention..." Mermando planned. "Hopefully it will get Dipper's attention as well, then Wendy can have a chance with him. I know she really likes him even though she denies it..."
"Down here is your and Wendy's home!" Soos snapped before swimming up to Mermando's face. "Mermando listen to me, the human world is a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there."
SOOS:
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more are you lookin' for?
Under the sea
Under the sea
Young man it's better
Down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we devotin'
Full time to floatin'
Under the sea
Other sea creatures started to join in.
SOOS AND LOBSTER:
Down here all the fish is happy
As off through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in their bowl
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
FLUKE FISH:
Guess who's gon' be on the plate?
SOOS:
Under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us
Fry us and eat us
In fricassee
We're what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We got no troubles
Life is the bubbles
Under the sea
SNAILS:
Under the sea
SOOS
Under the sea
SNAILS:
Under the sea
SOOS
Since life is sweet here
We got the beat here
Naturally
SNAILS:
Naturally
SOOS AND FISH:
Even the sturgeon an' the ray
They get the urge 'n' start to play
We got the spirit
You got to hear it
Under the sea
SOOS:
The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass
And they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul
"Yeah." The fluke agreed.
SOOS
The ray he can play
The lings on the strings
The trout rockin' out
The blackfish she sings
The smelt and the sprat
They know where it's at
An' oh that blowfish blow!
Wendy suddenly showed up and swam around all the musical and dancing fish until she came to Mermando. She whispered something to him and he smiled and swam away with her. Soos and the fish were too into the song to notice.
SOOS:
Under the sea!
FISH:
Under the sea!
SOOS:
Under the sea!
FISH:
Under the sea!
SOOS:
When the sardine
Begin the beguine
It's music to me
What do they got? A lot of sand
SOOS AND FISH:
We got a hot crustacean band!
SOOS:
Each little clam here
know how to jam here
SOOS AND FISH:
Under the sea
SOOS:
Each little slug here
Cuttin' a rug here
SOOS AND FISH:
Under the sea
SOOS:
Each little snail here
Know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter
Under the water
Ya we in luck here
Down in the muck here
SOOS AND FISH:
Under the sea!
They beamed to Mermando...who wasn't there anymore.
"Mermando?" Soos said with confusion.
Disappointed, all the fish left.
"Somebody has got to nail that boy's fins to the floor." Soos muttered.
He then heard rapid swimming. The seahorse from earlier showed up.
"Soos, I've been looking all over for you." The seahorse swam over to Soos. "I've got an urgent message from the Sea King."
"The Sea King?" Soos said.
"He wants to see you right away...something about Mermando."
"He knows!" Soos gasped to himself.
