The best of both worlds

Oh. My. Gosh.

I'm going home. I'm going home. I'm going home!!!

Without the guidance of the now-arrested Samuel Prince, the Poseidonian Army crumbled. We won the war!

We're going home!

And I have even better news: Mom and Dad were found. They were stocking the Rock with food and water supplies when the mines were dropped. They were not located because the Rock caved in and it took them a day to dig their way out.

I'm happy to be going home, but I'll miss the Cordova's. I'll miss the Geneva's. I'll miss my little routine here. There must be a way that I can have the best of both worlds.

I feel that half of me, the mermaid part, belongs back in Paradise Cove. But the other part, the human part, belongs right here in Stratford with all the people that I love. I know that if I go home, I'll miss the human part of myself. But if I stay, I'll miss the mermaid part. I'll never be content. I'll never be happy wherever I am.

I know that there are many unhappy memories in this house. But it all ended well. It's not like back at home it's all fun and games either. I have some very unfortunate memories there, too. If only there was a way I could go home, but still stay here.

Wait! I have an idea!

What if I spent a period of time on land and a period of time in the water?

That way, I can have the best of both worlds.

I'm gonna go ask Steven.

He called Mom and she said yes! I don't believe this! I'm going to be spending two weeks on land and two weeks in the water from now on.

Angel, Nemmy, Finn, and Ray will be coming with me. It will be perfect.
