The Pirate and The Merhog

The Lost Prince Is Found

Charles woke up and got ready to get the workers started on building his and Jules' new homes. He made his way to his brother's room knocked on the door. A moment later Jules and Aleena came out ready to go. But Charles saw a particular afterglow radiating on Aleena's demeanor. "Is something wrong, Charles?" Aleena asked Charles. "Nothing's wrong at all. You just look happier than usual. I don't know what Jules did, but it surely got the job done judging from that satisfied look on your face." Aleena's turned dark red as she covered her face in embarrassment from Charles teasing her and Jules.

"I'm probably going to go to Atlantica with Aleena and I watch this concert she was telling me about last night." Jules told Charles. "Well then, stay safe and make sure you're not seen. We don't want another close call like before. Will Arthur be joining you?" Charles asked the couple. "He said yesterday that he'll meet up with us to serve as our escort." said Aleena. 'Isabella is in for some disappointments.' Jules said to himself in telepathy. 'That can't be good but Arthur also has to keep his identity a secret too.' Aleena said to Jules in telepathy. 'Hopefully, Isabella doesn't take it too hard.' Jules said to Aleena in telepathy.

Meanwhile...

Isabella was nicely dressed in one of her more feminine outfits with her hair neatly brushed. She was on her way to find and apologize to Arthur about her behavior yesterday. She soon found him outside his motel. 'I just hope he forgives me for being rude to him yesterday.' Isabella said to herself. Arthur was about to make his way to the ocean shore he heard Isabella calling out to him. He turned and was surprised to see how she came dressed and dolled up. He wasn't aware of the blush on his face. "Isabella, what are you doing here?" Arthur asked the female mongoose.

Isabella made her way over to him. "I'll explain to you why I'm still here and I also want to say I'm sorry for my behavior towards you yesterday..." Isabella told Arthur. "It's alright. I didn't take it personal." Arthur said to Isabella. "No, Arthur, it wasn't alright. I was rude, presumptuous and insulted you when I didn't get my way. I'm sorry for all of that." Isabella said to Arthur. "I accept your apology my lady. You don't need to worry about any of that anymore." Arthur told Isabella. "Are you sure?" asked Isabella. "I'm sure. Trust me." Isabella sighed in relief on hearing that. "Why are you dressed? Are you on your way to meet with someone now?" Arthur asked the female mongoose. "I was planning on meeting up with you." Isabella told Arthur.

The eels were hearing the conversation between Arthur and Isabella. "You know what to do, my lady." said the 1st eel. "Arthur won't see this coming when he's forced back into a Mermongoose." Stella said as she chuckled evilly. "Arthur!" Arthur and Isabella looked to see Jules and Aleena waving at them and signaling them to hurry over to them. The pair hurried and made their way to the couple among the mixed crowd. The eels lost sight of them, leaving Stella unable to properly lock on to attack Arthur.

"Wait until those two and the princess return back to Atlantica for now and than continue spying on them." Stella told her eels. "Yes ma'am!" said the 1st eel. "We can't do anything further here." said the 2nd eel. "I know. Let's return back to the ocean and wait there for them." The two eels left the lake area to journey back to the beach. "I'm glad that Arthur forgave you after what happened yesterday." said Jules. "I was worried for a moment that he would still be mad but everything worked out at the end." said Isabella.

"Aleena and I were looking to have some breakfast before heading to take care of some important business. We wanted to know if you and Arthur wanted to join us." Jules told Isabella. "You know of some good places around here to at eat?" asked Arthur. "We might wanna avoid the restaurants that have seafood." said Aleena. "Why not?" asked Isabella. "She doesn't eat seafood and I'm guessing that Arthur doesn't either." Jules told Isabella. "In my case, I don't enjoy it at all. Let's leave it at that." said Arthur. "I know of non-seafood restaurants not far from here. Come!" Jules led the way with Aleena, Arthur and Isabella following his lead. Isabella noticed that Aleena was looking a bit sad. "Are you alright?" Isabella asked Aleena. "I miss my father and my older sisters...it's hard being away from home for so long..." said Aleena. "I'm sure you'll be able to see them again." said Isabella.
