85. Mermaids

We land on the deck and Dipak and Frode are standing at the wheel staring at us.

I give Dipak a funny look.

"We are just figuring out how this thing works sweetheart. Unless you want to row the boat when we make it?"

We all start laughing.

I grab Thora and show her all over under the deck. Then we get swords and eye patches. Tre goes to talk to Dipak and Frode. So it's just the 3 of us. Then the 3 of them seem to get done.

Thora points her sword at Frode. "TO THE PLANK." He gives her a funny look and she starts hitting him with the fake sword. "PLANK FRODE." We all start laughing.

She eventually beats Frode out on the plank. "NOW JUMP SIR."

He looks at her then me and Tye for help. "I'm not jumping off this."

Me, Tye, and Thora all point swords and say it at the same time. "WALK THE PLANK."

Tre and Dipak bust out laughing over by the wheel.

"OH FINE." He takes off his shirt and throws it on the deck.

"Wow Frode, you got a lot of muscles." I stare at him for a second.

Thora starts yelling. "DON'T YOU LOOK AT HIS MUSCLES. THAT'S MINE."

"You're right. I'm sorry." She nods and looks back at Frode who has his eyebrows up.

I wink at my boys and they both smile and nod at me.

"WALK THE PLANK FRODE."

Frode jumps in. Me and Thora laugh and jump in right behind him. Tye comes right behind us. We all start looking around under the water. I find something yellow and big on the ground. I walk over to it. It says -START HERE- It has a red arrow going off to one side.

I take off and grab Tye. He's looking at something but I drag him back to the yellow mat. Then I grab Thora and Frode just follows us.

Frode tries to sort it out but Thora just grabs him and drags him in the direction of the red arrow. Me and Tye are about half racing to get there. I try to trip him so I can get there first but instead I trip myself. He starts laughing and picks me up. I get the sand out of my boobs and he stands beside me laughing. Thora drags Frode right by us.

We catch up to Thora and Frode. Thora is standing on top of a big boulder looking around. She looks at me and does the I don't know signal. I help her down and I start looking around. She starts pushing on the boulder. Frode stands there looking at her shaking his head.

There really is nothing else here. I walk back over to Thora and we both start pushing on the boulder. Frode shakes his head looking at us all confused and Tye starts laughing.

We start moving around the boulder pushing it and once we hit a certain angle the top of it opens. It's like a chest made to look like a boulder. We both fall over top of it when it opens. The boys pick us up then look in it.

They read something on a shell and they both start looking around at the same time. I grab the shell and me and Thora both look at it.

Tye grabs me and Frode grabs Thora. They both drag us away before I can read it.

They both drag us to a huge set of rocks. They are made to look like a door way. 2 huge boulders stand to nearly the top of the water and one rock sits across the top of them. They drag us through the hole in the middle and there is another yellow pad on the ground. It has 2 red arrows pointing away from it. Going in opposite directions.

Tye grabs me around my waist and drags me in the direction of one of the arrows. Frode takes Thora the other way.

We come to a large group of fish. They are all swimming in circles. There has to be 200 fish. All swimming in 1 area. We both just stare at them for awhile. Then I see one with a big yellow pouch stuck to the side of it. I point to it and he nods.
