I was in a bad mood after Carrie left, like I always was when Carrie was gone. So, due to the bad mood, I went to find Grace.

She was waiting for me in the home theater of Carrie's mansion.

She grinned when I walked in and turned on my favorite Disney movie, at my favorite part.

"The seaweed is always greener," She started for me.

"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."

I began to smile.

"Such wonderful things surround you," Grace gestured around us.

"What more is you looking for?"

A minute later, I was singing at the top of my lungs with a grin on my face.

"Each little snail here, know how to wail here, that's why it's hotter, under the water, yeah we in luck here, down in the muck here, under the sea-a-a-a!"

"WHOO!" Grace grinned and hugged me.

"Haha... Thanks for cheering me up." I smiled at her.

"You earned it. You apologized to Carrie. And it was adorable!"

"How's he doing?"

"Ah... He's doing okay."

"Oh, no. What's he gotten himself into this time?"

"Can't say. All I know is that he might have a sharpie beard soon."

"...What?"

"Some kids are going to draw on his face." Grace shrugged.

"Oh."

"...Wanna replay Under The Sea?"

"HELL YEAH!"

She laughed and pressed the rewind button.

"The seaweed is always greener..."

A minute later...

"UNDER THE SEAAAAAAAA!"

I finished, throwing my arms in the air.

Grace was dying of laughter on the floor, and I was grinning so much my face hurt.

"Play it again!" Percy burst into the room.

"How in the heck did you get here?" I asked him, confused.

"Doesn't matter. Play it again!"

I grabbed the remote and pressed rewind.

An hour later, Percy and I were screaming the lyrics of Under The Sea as loud as we could.

Grace was still dying of laughter.

And my lungs hurt from singing so loud. I flopped into a chair and took a deep breath.

"WHOO!" Percy grinned, pumping his fist in the air.

We relaxed for a few moments and I let my head lay on the seat next to me, closing my eyes.

"I'll admit that in the past I've been a nasty..." Another song began on the TV.

"They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch..." I mumbled, smiling.

"But you'll find that now-a-days—" Grace finally caught her breath to sing along.

" — I've mended all my ways—" Percy continued.

"Repented, seen the light and made a switch. True? Yes." I sat up.

Here we go again.

Ten minutes later Virtus stormed in, eyes crazy.

"Will all of you just shut up?" He yelled. "You've been yelling for hours!"

"Nope!" Grace and I grinned at him.

"Stop singing and turn down the volume!" Virtus huffed.

"No! We're gonna sing forever!" Percy laughed.
