Later the crew set sail and they noticed how anxious Clay was getting since Poppy told them about what happened to her and Viva
Clay: I hope Viva is going to be okay 😓
Floyd: Clay are you alright
Clay: I don't know Floyd
Poppy: how do you know my sister
Clay: Branch Floyd this is something I should have told you two a long time ago
Branch: what is it Clay
Clay: I was friends with a mermaid
Prism: really my mom told me stories about mermaids when I was a kid 🤩
Clay: yes a long time ago when Branch was born I was just playing by the ocean when I met a girl who was around my age
Clay (age 6): hey are you new here I'm Clay 😄
Viva (age 6): I'm Viva and I lived in these waters for my whole life
Clay (age 6): how 🤨
Viva (age 6): because I'm a mermaid silly *shows her tail* 🤭
Clay (age 6): cool 🤩
Lapis: Clay I made lunch
Clay (age 6): that's my mom I gotta go
Viva (age 6): ok see you later 👋 *swims away*
Clay (age 6): see you later 👋
Clay: after that we started regularly talking to each other at that beach almost every afternoon and even though Viva later told me that she wasn't supposed to be talking to me she thought I was worth getting into trouble and I told her a lot about life on land
Poppy: so that's how she knows what the sun was
Clay: then when we were teenagers she decided to hang out with me on land since she was able to have legs when she was dry and I would show her around and later on I started to want to be more than friends with her
Branch: you had a crush on her
Clay: I was head over heels for her but then one day after John Dory and Bruce left
Viva (age 16): I really enjoyed the day Clay 😊
Clay (age 16): yeah me too 😊
Viva (age 16): I have to tell you something
Clay (age 16): what is it Veevs *secretly hoping that Viva was in love with him too*
Viva (age 16): my dad is trying to introduce me to some mermen and he is starting to get hard on me for my regular visits here so this is my last visit 😔
Clay (age 16): what 😨
Viva (age 16): just know that my time with you was the best times in my life and I'm going to miss you
Clay (age 16): *trying to hold back tears* I'm going to miss you too and I want to have this *gives Viva a anklet*
Viva (age 16): what is this
Clay (age 16): something to remember me by
Clay: then Viva left and I never saw her again and I went on to become a pirate and I guess Viva has found a merman who makes her happy
Poppy: actually she hasn't and I never knew why until now I think she likes you even after all this time
Clay: *blushing* she does
Poppy: I think so she had said that she likes someone but she never told me and dad who it was and as kids Viva always expressed a desire to live on land even when dad got upset about it
Clay: but Viva told me how stubborn he is
Poppy: maybe when save Viva I can try and convince dad to let Viva be with you
Clay: you would actually do that
Poppy: it's the least I can do since you are helping me
Clay: thanks Poppy
Branch: how come you never told me or Floyd
Clay: I had no idea how you guys would react if I told you that I fell in love with a mermaid
Floyd: Clay we are your brothers and we want you to be with the person who makes you happy
Branch: and we wouldn't judge
Clay: thanks guys
Then everyone hugged Clay reassuring him that they are going to save Viva
