A Modern Fairy tale #Wattys2015

Mr. Mermaid

The day had been boring so i decided to visit Dylan. I let myself in and I picked up the t.v remote and turned on the t.v,i found a pretty decent show and started watching it. A few minutes later Dylan arrived from upstairs. His hair were wet and messy indicating that he had just returned from a much needed sshower. Before i even opened my mouth, he turned off the t.v.

"What the freakin hell Dylan?"

"But i want to spend some time with my best friend" he whined. ughh this idiot.

"WELL I AM IN YOUR HOUSE, WITH YOU IN THIS T.V LOUNGE SO BASICALLY I'M SPENDING TIME WITH YOU." i continued to scream at him.

"oh come on! You know what i mean!" Dylan said.

I huffed in annoyance. "fine" i snapped at him and switched of the  t.v. "now we'll do as i say" i commanded. "Get your swim suit. We are going to the beach."

 "Uhh Why dont we just uh stay here and  like crash on the couch?" He looked at me hopefully. 

"Nuh-uh. WE are going to the beach and thats final." I replied fumbling with my hair.

"I just realized uhh you are gonna miss the tv show and um you don't wanna do that" he looked at me hopefully.

"Hey whats up with you? One minute you wanna go out and the next you wanna stay? Wassup huh?huh?"  I eyed him suspiciously."There isnt anything wrong with you right?" I asked him worried.

"No  no.. its just that... oh nevermind lets just go." He said hesitantly.

i shrugged. "We have to stop at my house. I gotta get some things."

"Sure sure whatever" He muttered.

We got in the junk. Dylan was silence and i didnt wanna talk so i just turned on the radio. Luckily, some hard metal rock and roll was on. ThankGod for some noise. Despite the music being very loud, i wanted it to go on forever so therewould be no silence. I hate silence,period. I thought about Dylan not wanting to go to the beach. Hmm.. as i thought i realized that Dylan never went to the beach.He always had excuses! This was insane. Hey it could be a coincident. Yeah that must be it, i thought hopefully. But the more i thought about it the more i realized that Dylan must be a.........MERMAID. You knoww. Like Ariel. Or better yet like the one in Aquamarine. I am crazy, i thought. But what if it was true? My friend A MERMAID? It would be so..so.so EFFING AWESOME.

"Earth to Elleen. Mission to report back to earth. I repeat back to earth." Yes this was Dylan practically screaming in my ear. "Oi, cut it out" i said sharply. I realised that we had reached the beach during the time i was thinking.  i could ask him to spill thebeans. that would be-no wait what if his mer-king  or whatever had forbidden him to do so. There was only one way and i had to try it to find out the truth.

Hey! Jake was here too. What luck. Maybe he could help me. "Jake..JAKE WAIT UP" i shouted. Jake was our friend from school but we rarely met, due to our lives being so busy.  He turned around. "He lili what are you doing here?" I rolled my eyes at him "Oh we are here to kill people" I said sarcastically.

 "Hehe i would love to join you and maybe we could kill that dude there first. he keeps eyeing me"

 I wasnt listening to him. DYLAN! i had totally forgotten about him Hmmphh. "OK Dylan, lets go swim" I turned around. Dylan looked terrified only confirming my deepest fears. "Um id better not, ill uhh catch the uh.. cold. Yeah thats right i could catch the cold."

 He sounded pretty satisfied with his excuse.

 "No, we are going and thats final" 

 "no no I umm i'll just sit by the pool huh? You can go swim" He said hopefully.

 Well i atleast have to get him to go near the pool,i thought. I agreed and so we went to sit near the pool. Once near enough i purposefully,uhh ACCIDENTALLY dropped my sunscreen on the side of the pool. I convinced Dylan to go bring it for me. As he bent down i saw my opportunity and kicked him hard on his back. He fell face first into the water. Coincidentally, a huge wave came up and dragged him deep in the sea. He started dancing weirdly and started shouting. A little disappointed that he hadnt turned into a mermaid ,i still started laughing like mad. He just knew how to make me laugh. A second later Jake came back holding the towel he had gone to borrow. 

"Hey how did he get into the water?"

 I was still laughing

 "HE HAS A PHOBIA OF DEEP WATER.HE'S GONNA DROWN AARRRGGHHH WHOO DID THIS?" Hahahah-wait WHAT? PHOBIA? WATER? DEEP? Now i started to panic. Omg Dylan was drowning. Omg i was going to be a murderer!! Without thinking i flung myself into the water and went to get him.

After a  lot of huffing and puffing i got him out. He looked..well um DEAD. I started crying hysterically. Jake looked at me

 "Stop crying weirdo. He just fainted. Just give him a mouth to mouth or whatever."

 "what the hell no you give him one", i replied back horrified. Give a mouth to mouth to Dylan urrgghhh GRO-SS.

 "Hey unless you want him to die, you'd better do as i say"

"why cant YOU do it?"

"Because it will be horribally awkward. I dont wanna appear gay.. like ahh.. no thanks."

"Wow what an awesome friend you are."

"Yeah well i do not  purposely drown someone" He shot back.

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT" I screamed. Uff. I calmed down."Watch me save my best friend and not care about myself" I said curtly.

"For once" He grumbled.

I pretended not to hear him. After all a life was on stake. I bent down and placed my mouth over his. It felt firmand strong.I could feel the warmth. It felt like a thousand sparks were bursting in my mouth. the taste was just..... *sigh* GROOOOSSSSSSSS.  I closed my eyes. and took a deep breath and let it out. I kept doing this over and over again. Suddenly, Without any warning i must say, Dylan's eyes popped open and his eyes locked with mine. The only problem was our mouths were still touching.........

Ok tbh. Pretty lame chap. But it had to be something. Right?Ok so we decided on a little challenge you could say. Who ever comments one good thing and one thing that needs improvement and votes on any  chap will get a dedication on our next chap AND/OR shoutout for their book. So yayy for you guys. PEACEOUT xx
