With a Flick of my Tail

confusion

*Recap*

"Now? Wow, someone's demanding. Who is he - King of the Seas?", I said with sarcasm.

"Well, yes, actually."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Are you sure?", I asked Zane for the thousandth time. I am standing on top of a pier.

"Yes! I'm positive! Now will you just come on!", Zane asked me.

"I don't know...."

"Just come on!!!", Zane and Kai practically yelled at me.

"Come on Sera, just get in. Besides, Zane said we are wanted there now.", Emerald told me.

"Urghh... fine!", I yelled at them.

"Thank you! Now hurry up and lets go." Zane said. Emerald, Zane, and Kai were already in the water waiting for me. I stepped back a few feet and stopped. I took a quick look around. The sky was clear and blue. The trees were blowing in the wind. My mom was watching me a few feet away. She waved to me and I waved back. I started running. When I got to the end of the pier, I jumped and landed with a splash in the water. I could feel my legs fuse together. I looked down and saw my blue tail fliping back and forth in the water. "Well, I think we are all ready to go now.", he said looking at me. My mom walked over to the end of the pier and kneeled over.

"Be safe, honey. A- and don't talk to any strangers.", my mom said.

"Yes, mom. I'll be fine. Besides, I've got to watch them."

"Wait. Did you just say you have to watch US?!?", Kai asked me.

"Yes. Of course I did. Chicken Zane will have to cross the road at some point and we don't want him to get run over now do we?", I joked.

"Hey!?!", Zane pouted. "I am not a chicken. What did I say about these feelings of steel?"

"Oh. I'm sorry. What did you say? I didn't hear you over all the pouting you were doing 'Mr. Feelings of Steel'."

"Ooooooooohhhh!!!! You're going to get it."

"Wait. The Chicken Zane is actually threatening me?" I gasped. " I thought you were too scared to." He growled to himself and went under.

"Ok, go have fun.", my mom told me. "Oh and don't torment him too much."

"Ok. Don't worry. I won't. Bye!"

"Bye" We dove under and swam about fifty feet out.

"Alright, guys, follow us. We know the way!", Zane said. We swam for a while, passing coral and rocks along the way. The silence was killing me, so I started singing,"Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming swimming swimming! What do we do? We swim swim swim!"

"Seriously, Sera?", Kai tells me.

"Yep! Hey, Em, I think they want an encore."

"And a one! A two! A one, two, three, four!", Emerald shouted.

"Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming! Just keep swimming swimming swimming! What do we do? We swim swim swim!", we both sang.

"Urggh! Enough!", someone shouted from behind a rock. "Who is making all that noise?"

"Oh! Prince Andre, we didn't know you were over here", Zane said. He was a merman with a bright blue tail with the same rainbow shine as mine.

"Wait a second. Are they-?"

"Yes. We were just taking them to your father."

"Excellent. I think I'll tag along with the lot of you."

He swam up to us and said,"Hello, you must be Seraphina and Emerald. My name is Andre. I am your brother.", he said with a huge grin.
