No Longer "Interesting"

We are all eels

(Tomorrow)

"Okay everyone please wait in line for your turn at the magic mirror". Trein was put on duty this year to control the students visiting home.

Azul had been thinking about what would happen when he got home all day. He planned it in his head a hundred times, yet it never sounded right.

Azul felt a hand on his left shoulder. "We might as well go together, we all live in the Coral Sea". Floyd was the offender, with his smug grin.

"No thanks". Azul went off to the mirror, away from Floyd.

“Oh, but it would be so fun. Wouldn’t it?”. Jade appeared in front of Azul.

“Why are you two doing this? You want me to rot, but you also want my company”. Azul went around Jade and stepped up to the mirror.

"Next, Ashengrotto". Trien called as his name is next on the list.

"Yes Professor Trien". Azul went to the magic mirror with his satchel. "The Coral Sea, my mother's restaurant".

“Because we never wanted to leave your company”. Jade says quietly, he went to Floyd and got in line.

Azul got transported immediately. The others were lucky to pick up on that.

"Okay, now you all will say the Coral Sea". Riddle was leading the group, though he wasn't going. "You all have the mirror communication devices I had to haggle Professor Trien out off".

"Yes". They all said in unison.

"How did you get these from Trien?". Jamil had both his and Kalims things in hand.

"I told him our plans. Surprisingly enough, he believed me". Riddle got his suitcase and started walking towards the mirror.

"Next!". Trien came up to the group. The look he gave them showed that he knew what they were up to.

"Coral Sea". The third years (except Riddle) got transported out of the Mirror hall immediately.

Maybe they should have specified where in the Coral Sea.

"Pops gonna be on our tails this entire trip". Floyd was annoyed with the thought of getting yelled at by his dad, again.

"Coral Sea, the Black Tail". Jade and Floyd stepped up to the mirror, they carried only one satchel. It was weird as it was two of them, but you can't pack much when going in the ocean.

****************

Jade and Floyd transformed into their mer forms the moment they hit the water. It had been a while since they were in those forms, so they had to stretch and swim for a bit. They also practiced their home language for a while, to make sure they didn't seem like fools. After a while, they started to take the route back home.
