I came back to the beach early, so I wouldn't be late again. When I came back melody was with Lizzie. She looked scared. "Are you okay?" I asked. "I'm sorry. I'm not scared of dark mermaids, but I'm scared of werewolves. I really try not to be. Please forgive my insecurity" I wish that was the whole light mermaid community saying that. Not some bratty princess's kid. Since I loved kids and felt bad I obviously gave her a hug and said. "It's okay. Lizzie won't eat you. Maybe if you met her family you would feel better" I suggested. Melody went white. "It's okay. We only eat people when they are rude. Just don't call them dogs or mutts, and you'll be fine. We only eat the things humans eat" Lizzie said. "I think I'm ready" Melody said. "That was quick" I said. When we went to the cave Lizzie's dad -The Chief -immediately wanted to eat Melody since she was Queen Ariel's daughter. And you Sebastian was their too. He hid in his shell. "Relax Dad, she didn't get the genes of her br -mother" she explained. "Oh. Then welcome to our home!" Then he gave Melody a big hug like he did when he first met me. Without trying to eat me of course. "Uhm sir." Melody said. "Yes" "Are you the Chief of ALL of the werewolves?" "Only in this continent" he said nonchalantly. "That would make Lizzie a PRINCESS!" "We go out hunting, and only have one ball each year. We do it every year to try to make peace with humans, but it's always a trap" Lizzie's father said. "Sebastian are you hearing this! Mom is all for peace. We can tell her and -" "Melody this is only for your book report for school" "Book report!" Everyone said in unison. "I hope you guys aren't mad" Melody said in a sad way. "Of course not. I get A's on every one of them. Now you have to meet my family." I said out of excitement. "Nooooooo! My mom will kill me!" "Then my family will have to come to you" I smirked
"Have you not been listening to anything I've said? We're only teenagers. We can't get married and we can't reproduce. Unless I want to be like those girls at my school" I exclaimed. "That's never stopped me before" Dolphy mumbled."I heard that!" I yelled. "It was you're idea to get him!" "Yeah! To wait until were older. We'll get married when I'm like 20" "Ugh. Fiiiine" Dolphy sighed. Later today Dolphy tricked me and Jacob. She said "Hey Emily. You should get Jacob a promise ring." "Where am I going to get one?" "Well since I ship you guys like crazy I got you one to give to him" "How old are you?" "I believe in human years I'm twelve" "It figures" I mumbled. "Just take the ring!" "Okay, okay. Geez" So I took the ring and went to find Jacob. All that was on my mind was Jacob. I didn't even stop to think if the promise ring was actually a promise ring. Meanwhile, Dolphy found Jacob and gave him a ring too. When I finally found him I gave put the ring on his finger and he put the finger on mine and joked by saying I do. He said "May I kiss the bride" and I said "You may" then he kissed me. It was so romantic. Then Dolphy popped out of nowhere and said "So where are you guys going on your honeymoon" "Ha ha, very funny" "Well those are marriage rings and you guys did say I do" I looked at my ring. It was beautiful! It had a gold band thingy. Then it had a big diamond surrounded by tiny diamonds! "How -where -when. How could you do this? Where did you get these expensive rings and when did you get them?!" Recently the mayor found a shipwreck! The boat had a treasure chest filled with gold, jewels and rings. The mayor took everything and decided to give the rings to the octopus who sold wedding, promise, and engagement rings. I looked on the ship for extra treasures. I found an enormous diamond and those rings. I told the man that I recently bought those rings and said I was confused on what kind of rings they were. He said that they were wedding rings.
So uhm CONGRATULATIONS! "I'm sorry Jacob, but I want a divorce until we get older" "I agree" "Wait guys! What's the point! You'll have to give the rings back and then try to buy them back a couple years later" "I still can't believe I'm married. Is that even how it works? Don't we need a priest?!" "Not down here we don't" "She has a point about the divorcing thing" "Where are we going to live!" "Relax! There are some bigger anemone down there that are for bigger fish. Since you're technically a fish you'll have to live there" "What do we eat!" "Fish!" "Jacob, I'm not ready"
