The mermaid was swiming, spinning slowly before she stoped and, bitting her lips, she looked at her mermaid scales. Something was bothering her.
Something strange had happened earlier. As she and Tony kissed, her tail had begun to sparkle like it never happenned before. She had notice it.

She had heard of this phenomenon in the stories about mermaid and their human soulmate that the old mermaids told, but she had never seen it happen to anyone in real life. The problem was that it was said that when it happened to a mermaid, her sisters would know about it and she really didn't want to be found. She was too happy here.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard footsteps coming from the hallway. For a moment she froze, wondering who it could be. But the man poked his head in the doorway and it was none other than Tony.

"Tony!" exclaimed the mermaid, relieved and happy to see him again. "What are you doing here?" She suddenly took a worried tone "Did something go wrong?"
"Oh no, no, on the contrary, everything is fine" Tony reassured her immediately, touched by the woman's sincere concern.
"Good!"
"The investors listened, I was able to talk to some of them and they seemed quite interested actually..."

"But then what are you doing here?" The woman asked as Tony placed the glasses and bottle in his hand on one of the desks.
"I thought I'd celebrate with the one who's been most supportive of me through all this" The mermaid smiled
"And since I couldn't bring you to the party..." Tony set one the glasses on a table next to her and began to pour the drinks. "..I bring the party here!"

The mermaid took the glass.
"Careful, it's strong."
And took a sip and coughed softly as she scrunched up her nose.
Tony smiled tenderly at her before adding with a wave of his hand "I wish you could have tried the canapés too, they were delicious but bringing them here would have seemed too suspicious"
"Don't worry it's perfect" she giggled
"To your first party" Tony raised his glass to her.
The mermaid imitated him.
"To my first party!"

Tony was now sorting out his hologram files in the void. It seemed magical but it was all out of Tony's mind.
Then he started humming a piece of one song he heard during the party.
"Do you sing?" Asked the mermaid as she was watching him, so handsome and dexterous in all his movements.

Tony stopped what he was doing and turned back to the mermaid.
"Sometimes and you?"
"Pretty much obliged for a mermaid." "Can I hear you?" Tony asked, raising an eyebrow. "I always wondered what mermaid's song would sound like"
Y/N nodded.

"Wait," said Tony, pointing at her before she start. Then under the mermaid's amused gaze he moved further into the room where there was an object under a sheet. He pushed it closer and removed the veil of the piece of furniture to reveal a piano.

"Wow what's that?"
"It's a piano, a musical instrument. My mother taught me to play it since I was a little boy" Tony said as he sat astride the seat.
"Please play for me"
It had been a while since Tony had the opportunity to play. And he was happy to share it with her.
He laughed and sat down properly at the keyboard. "Sing and I will follow you with the melody."
