Chapter 5: Follow Us:
Utako's POV:
I was still trying to find Lemuria, but... I was lost. I then heard something.
"So, your mom says those lights we see at night are balls of gas," asks a merboy.
"She should know," says a mermaid.
"Excuse me," I said, "can you two help me?"
"What's up," asks the merboy.
"I need to get to Lemuria," I said, "there's something I need to get and if I don't, I'll turn back into a human."
"Sure, we can help, I'm Nerine and this is Taron."
"Follow us," says Taron. We then all got in the water.
. . .
Taron: Road trippin' with my two favorite allies
Fully loaded we got snacks and supplies
It's time to leave this town, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost anywhere in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Nerine: Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Taron: Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Nerine: So much as come before those battles lost and won
This life is shining more forever in the sun
Now let us check our heads and let us check the surf
Staying high and dry's more trouble than it's worth in the sun
Taron: Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Nerine: In Big Sur we take some time to linger on
We three hunky-dory's got our snake finger on
Now let us drink the stars, it's time to steal away
Let's go get lost right here in the USA
Let's go get lost, let's go get lost
Taron: Blue, you sit so pretty west of the one
Sparkles light with yellow icing, just a mirror for the sun
Nerine: Just a mirror for the sun
Just a mirror for the sun
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
These smiling eyes are just a mirror for
Utako/Taron/Nerine: Your smiling eyes are just a mirror for!
Pearl's POV:
I was so worried about Utako, but then I got distracted when I saw an old friend. "Slippery." I then hugged him but turns out it wasn't Slippery.
"Daddy!" He then swims away.
"What's going on here?"
"Sorry, I..."
"Pearl?"
"Slippery?"
"Pearl!"
"Slippery!" We then hugged. "You've grown."
"Yep, and I got some kids," says Slippery. I then saw all his kids.
"No kidding," I said.
Utako's POV:
We arrived at the palace. We were swimming.
"So, why are we here," asks Taron.
"You'll see," I said, "I just need you two to cause a distraction."
Pearl's POV:
When we were worried, a young merman and a young dolphinfolk girl were doing a weird dance.
"It's just Squid's son and Raine's daughter," says my Father, "don't worry about them."
Utako's POV:
I then took the trident and swam out.
Pearl's POV:
After that was done, we then saw the trident was missing.
"But only a member of your bloodline can remove it," says Porcus.
I then found Utako's locket. "Utako," I said, "but how could she come down here?"
"Tiburón," says my Father, "DOUBLE THE SEARCH PARTY! FIND HER! FIND HER! FIND HER!"
Utako's POV:
We then arrived at the surface, and I showed my new friends what we took.
"Wait, is that King Pacific's trident," asks Taron.
"He took it from Tiburón," I said.
"That's not the story we heard," says Nerine.
Then something knocked them out.
"There's no time," says Pyris, "come with me!" I then followed him.
