How the Change has Timed

The Meeting

The Next Day

"Scott, you have a meeting with Lizzie today." Lumi said.

"Is she coming here?"

"No, you have to go to her."

"Ughhhhhhhhh."

Scott slowly got up and got dressed.

He flew towards the Ocean Empire. He had a meeting with Lizzie and her family.

When he landed, he saw Lizzie standing on a lily pad that had a shack on it. It was a shack that was made out of dark oak wood and slime.

"What's this?" Scott asked Lizzie.

"It's an embassy my brother made, he's the Cod Father, well going to be, and he built this in my empire to show people our alliance." Lizzie said, laughing at Scott's confused face, "My brother's coming for the meeting too, he's just late... as always." This time it was Scott's turn to laugh.

"Hey! That's rude!" Jimmy said, emerging from the water.

"Sorry bro, but I had to introduce you somehow." Lizzie shrugged.

Scott noticed that Jimmy wasn't wearing his cod head but didn't think much of it.

"We've already met." Scott said, blushing.

"Oh! Well, anyway, come up here Jimmy. We wanted to meet you Scott to see if we could be an alliance."

Scott looked surprised and said, "What about the Friendship Agreement?"

"What's the Friendship Agreement?" Jimmy asked.

"Well, since I'm in an alliance with fWhip, and the cod and salmon war is going on, I don't think I can be in an alliance with you guys, hang out with you, or even end up marrying any of you because of the agreement. I think I could make it so we could hang out, but I would have to talk with fWhip and see where the war is at. He's very picky about who his friends hang out with, and this war has been the only thing he talks about."

Scott looked up and saw that Jimmy looked heartbroken, but he didn't know why.

"Oh... I'm sorry for bringing you out here then." Lizzie said.

"It's okay, I'm glad we cleared that up. Bye!" Scott said, while getting up for flying.

But just as he stretched his wings out, he heard Jimmy yelp.

"What! What's wrong!"

"You-you- you have horns?!"

Scott looked into the water and said, "Haven't they been there?"

Jimmy and Lizzie shook their heads.

"They just popped up when you spread out your wings." Lizzie said.

Scott started freaking out, "Oh no, no, no, no, no."

"Is that a bad thing?" Jimmy asked.

"Lizzie, can I borrow your owl?"

Lizzie nodded and ran up to her palace to grab her owl, quill, and parchment. That left Jimmy and Scott, once again, alone.

"I'm sorry we can't be in an alliance." Scott said.

"No, it's alright. I didn't think about the war." Jimmy chuckled lightly.

Scott looked up at Jimmy who looked like they were about to cry.

"Are you alright, you don't look okay." Scott said.

"I'm- I'm alright. I just... I can't live my dream, if that makes sense."
