With the last bit of Gideon gone, everything started to calm down. The clouds started to leave the sky and the waves pretty much disappeared.
His death also meant the reverse of his spells, including all the poor polyps. They turned back into merpeople and joyfully swam away from Gideon's cave. Nereido was the last polyp to turn back into a merperson.
Soos and Dan, realizing that Gideon's death meant some changes, had swum back to Nereido and were overjoyed to find him in his true form.
Mermando and Wendy had also arrived and apologized to their parents for causing all this trouble. They were forgiven, Dan was instead proud of Wendy's bravery and loyalty and Nereido knew that he was really the one who started the whole thing with his temper.
"You and Wendy were right all along...I should've listened." He admitted. "So, I'm guessing those two humans were the ones who killed Gideon?"
Wendy and Mermando nodded.
"Then maybe humans aren't all bad after all." Nereido smiled.
Mermando and Wendy smiled as well.
The next day, at sunrise, Mermando and Wendy found Dipper and Mabel resting on the beach. They watched them from a nearby rock as Nereido, Soos, and Dan watched from further off.
"He really does love her...doesn't he Soos?" Nereido realized.
"Yes your majesty." Soos nodded.
"And my daughter loves her brother?" Dan guessed.
"That she does."
"Then maybe she should be with him..." Dan considered.
"Really?" Nereido was a little surprised.
"Well, it's like I always say your majesty: children have to be free to lead their own lives." Soos said wisely.
"Really?" Nereido said skeptically. "You always say that?"
"Uh..." Soos said awkwardly.
Nereido then sighed.
"Then I guess there's just one problem left." He said.
"What's that you majesty?" Soos asked.
"How much I'm going to miss him."
"I will miss Wendy too...but I do want her to be happy." Dan nodded. "And that lad is much better for her than Robbie ever was...go ahead Nereido, it's okay."
Nereido smiled and aimed his trident at the water towards Mermando and Soos. A gentle glow left the trident and Reached Mermando and Wendy. Noticing the glow, they looked down with confusion and then looked to their fathers. Mermando and Wendy beamed as their fathers smiled at them. The glow then spread to Dipper and healed his wound.
Around that moment, Dipper and Mabel woke up. Dipper was at first stunned that his wound was gone, but then figured that someone used the trident to heal him out of gratitude.
"Dipper look!" Mabel gasped.
Dipper did and saw Mermando and Wendy come out of the water...as humans. Wendy was wearing a simple sparkly green dress and Mermando was wearing a sparkly light blue shirt and dark blue pants. Dipper and Mabel beamed and ran to them. Dipper picked up Wendy and swung her around and Mermando did the same thing with Mabel. The two couples then kissed.
Later that day, Mabel and Mermando were married...and so were Dipper and Wendy. Waddles couldn't control his happiness, he had to lick all four of them out of joy.
Every single last guest, from the ship to the ocean, from Dipper and Mabel's parents to Mermando's brothers, cheered for both of the married couples. Susan was so happy that she sobbed into Chris's chest...much to his discomfort.
Stan was there too, and Mermando and Wendy took turns hugging him. Even Dipper and Mabel hugged him. Waddles sniffed Stan and gave him a light lick. Stan was a little grossed out, but then chuckled and ruffled Waddles's head.
Soos was on the ship as well, and was hugging the cake figures of the married couples in his claws out of joy. Nereido decided to let him stay with Mermando and Wendy, and took on Dan as his new advisor. Luckily there were other conductors in the ocean, so Nereido planned to hire the best one he could fine...even if he or she could never replace Soos.
Suddenly, Soos glanced up and to his left. Oh no, McGucket again, and with a sharp knife too! Soos scrambled out of the way, causing McGucket to slice the cake instead. Soos then zigged-zagged all over the deck of the ship as McGucket tossed the knife at him, missed, and then picked it up and chased him with it. Soos stopped upon seeing some rope, and when he looked up he got an idea.
"Aha!" McGucket said, thinking he had Soos trapped.
Not, Soos grinned and cut the rope, causing a beam to swing down and hit McGucket in the face. McGucket chuckled crazily as he fell down unconscious.
"Yes!" Soos laughed triumphantly.
Pretty much everyone applauded, not having liked McGucket all that much anyway. Besides, Soos is a friend of Mermando and Wendy's so...
"You know, I think I really like that crab." Chris grinned.
"Thank you, thank you." Soos bowed.
Mermando and Wendy then went to the side of the ship and Nereido used the ocean to boost him and Dan up. Parent and child hugged each other goodbye.
"I love you papa." Mermando said.
"Love ya dad." Wendy said.
Dipper and Mabel then showed up. Dipper bowed and Mabel curtsied to Nereido, who bowed back. Dipper and Dan then shook hands and Mabel and Dan nodded to each other.
Ahora podemos caminar
Ahora podemos ejecutar
Ahora podemos estar todo el día bajo el sol
Sólo tú y yo
Entonces yo puedo ser,
Parte de tu mundo!
Nereido then used his trident to create a rainbow over the wedding ship. Mabel and Mermando - and Dipper and Wendy - kissed, knowing that they would never lose each other again.
