Yuu sighs to themselves, "Finally. Back at the dorm." They said, kicking their shoes off, taking their pants off, and climbing into their bed. They couldn't get comfortable for long, because there was soon a knock at the door.
Grimm was sound asleep so they had to get out of bed, put pants on, and go open the door.

"Shrimpy!~" A familiar voice says. "Floyd? It's 10:00, what are you doing out here?" You asked him and he leans against the doorframe. "Aww, I can visit you?" He asks and you smile to yourself. "You can visit me, Floyd. But it's way too late at night." You explain but Floyd doesn't seem to care too much.

"Bring some extra clothes and come to the Mirror Chamber. We're going swimming!" He happily explains and leaves without another word. "Floyd! Wait! And he's gone." You mumble to yourself, walking back into Ramshackle. "Swimming at this time of night?" You mutter to yourself and you grab some extra clothes and a towel. You looked back at Grimm before shutting the door and walking to the Mirror Chamber.

*Outside the Mirror Chamber*

You walk to the Mirror Chamber, still wondering why Floyd invited you to swim at this time of night. "Shrimpy! You're here!" You heard Floyd's voice say. You look up and notice that it's not just Floyd, but Jade is here also.

"Well well. I didn't expect for Yuu to actually come." Jade commented as he pulled out a potion. "What are you holding, Jade?" You asked and he chuckled to himself. "Floyd told you, no? We're going swimming. Specifically in the Coral Sea. You will need the water-breathing potion to join us." Jade explains, giving you the potion.

"We will be in the Sea." Jade says, entering the Mirror Chamber, Floyd follows behind him, "Later Shrimpy!~" He says, leaving you in the hallways. You sigh to yourself wondering why you decided to come with them. A few minutes pass by and you enter the Mirror Chamber, with your extra clothes on and the towel near the clothes.

"Mirror of Darkness, take me to the Coral Sea." You said, staring at the mirror. You pull out the potion and drink it. "Ugh... Doesn't taste any better than last time." You mumbled to yourself. The pitch black mirror swirls around as the location reveals itself as you step in the mirror.

*Coral Sea*

It's so dark, you can barely see or move around without trying to bump into something. "Jade? Floyd?" You yelled but heard nothing but the sound of the water as you moved around.

A few seconds pass and you suddenly see two bright lights coming towards you. You start to panic as they get closer and closer, that is until you see their faces. "Jade! Floyd!" You said as they stopped in front of you. "Aww little Shrimpy. Did we scare ya?" Floyd asks as his brother, who's holding a sea-light, shines it on some coral. "Yeah. A little bit." You said. "But what are those lights?"

"They're sea-lights." Jade said and Floyd laughed, "They're like flashlights but underwater. Isn't that awesome?" Floyd exclaimed and swam around you. "It is cool, but why are we here?" You asked. "Well, Floyd and I have noticed how tired you've been this last week. So we decided to invite you here to swim with us." Jade explained, handing you the bright sea-light.

"I have an idea, Shrimpy! Let's play a keep-away game!" Floyd exclaims, picking out some seaweed. "You two try to grab the seaweed from me, I try to avoid you two." He happily says. "Yeah, but I'm not a fast swimmer like you two." You said and Jade smiled, "Of course. So that is why we will let you team up with one of us. Who do you choose? The one who will be chased or the one that will be chasing?" Jade asks.

Who will you go with?

                      

                             Jade?      Or        Floyd?
