Luz had to admit, she missed the private jet, the comfort she felt while in her seat was nice. Still, having the entire family going to Japan with her, she didn't like it, because they weren't some mythical creatures like her, Amity, and Boscha. If something bad happened, she didn't know if they would be able handle themselves. She was taken out of her thoughts, when Boscha sat next to her.
"Hey, what'cha doing, Honey?" Boscha asked, leaning her head on Luz's shoulder.
"Oh, hey, Boscha, I'm just reading a little." Luz said.
Boscha took the book and looked at it.
"Oh, looking up a bit of our history, huh?" Boscha asked, smiling, "What, Amity and I aren't enough?"
"You're great for a lot of things, but this is some things I need to know first." Luz said, "I've been a mermaid for almost 18 months and I know almost nothing about my kind. For example, this thing called a Colossal."
"Oh, you've met one." Boscha said, "Colossal is a term used for those that possess a very special and very rare mutation, the closest thing on the surface is known as Gigantism, but basically on steroids. It's typically found in Whales, certain shark species, sea snakes, and... Cephalopods."
"Cephalo- Wait, that's why Odalia was so massive?!" Luz asked.
"Yep, that's why she was able to become queen without anyone questioning her." Boscha said, "It's also the reason that Emira and Erica are so small compared to her. Colossal are also the reason behind many sea monsters in the age of exploration."
"See, this is exactly what I mean, I don't know any bit of mermaid history!" Luz said, "I want to know more about this stuff."
Luz went back to looking through the book, which had different types of mermaids and their different abilities with their fish. Luz froze when she flipped to a page with a koi fish mermaid on it. Boscha noticed Luz's face and gave her a small kiss to the lips. This seemed to calm Luz down a bit.
"You miss her, don't you?" Boscha asked.
"Of course I do." Luz said, "Skara was the first person I ever loved, and now she's out there and I haven't heard from her since. I don't even know if she's alive right now... I... I'm afraid that we will arrive in Japan and I'll see her, laying on a bed of ice in a fish market, being cut open and turned into sushi."
"Luz, I've known Skara for all of three minutes, and I can already tell... she's too stubborn to get caught in a fishing net." Boscha said.
"You really think so?" Luz asked, a bit hopeful.
"Of course... she put up with you for what, eight years?" Boscha asked with a smirk, "You have to be stubborn to get you to listen."
Luz's mouth opened like a fish out of water.
"It's true." Amity said, sitting across from Luz, "You can be a bit hard headed."
"Oh, wow." Luz said, offended, "If it wasn't for the fact that I love you two, then I would be slapping you two silly."
"No you wouldn't." Boscha said, leaning against Luz.
Luz turned to her and smiled widely, having a lot of sharp anglerfish teeth in place of her usual teeth.
"Honey, I will bite you." Luz said.
"Oh, don't threaten me with a good time!" Boscha said.
Luz looked defeated.
"Why are you like this?"
"Because sharks are tough and dangerous." Boscha said with pride.
"Oh, look, an Orca." Amity said.
"WHERE!?" Boscha said in a panic.
That got Luz and Amity to laugh, while Boscha glared at them.
"I hate you." Boscha said.
"No you don't." They said.
I do say Follow, Favorite, and Review for more because I do need to see that interest in order to have motivation. Without that, I don't see reason to keep posting.
