The Little MerScout [Completed]

She Knows!

"Luna, Artemis!" yelled the royal herald as he swam over to the catfish.

"Luna...Artemis, I've been looking all over for you. I've got an urgent message from Queen Serenity." the herald told her.

"Queen Serenity?" Luna asked.

"She wants to see you two right away, Something about the Princess." the herald told them as he began to tug on their fins.

"She knows." gasped Artemis in shock thinking Queen Serenity knew about Princess Serenity's secret romance and grotto.

"Hey, let's see now." laughed Queen Serenity as she held the sea flower in her hand.

"Oh, who could the lucky merman be?" Queen Serenity happily asked herself as she noticed Luna and Artemis standing in the doorway of the room.

"Come in, you two." Queen Serenity told as she cleared her throat.

"We mustn't overreact. Wr must remain clam." Artemis softly told Luna and then swam over to the queen.

"Yes, Your Majesty?" asked Luna and Artemis both tried to remain calm.

"Luna Artemis, I'm concerned about Serenity. Have you noticed she been acting peculiar lately?" Queen Serenity asked the nervous catfishes.

"Oh! Uh, peculiar?" Artemis asked.

"You know Mooning about, Daydreaming, singing to herself?  You haven't noticed, hmm?" Queen Serenity asked.

"Oh, well, I..." began Artemis before she was interupted.

"Cats?" Queen Serenity asked.

"Hmm?" Both asked as the Queen motioned for them to swim closer.

"I know you've been keeping something from me." Queen Serenity told the scared catfishes.

"Keeping something?" Luna gulped.

"About My Daughter?" Queen Serenity asked causing their fins to begin to shake.

"Princess Serenity?" Artemis nervously asked.

"In love, hmm?" Queen Serenity asked as she pointed her moon stick at them causing the Luna to confess out of the blue.

"I tried to stop her, My lady! She wouldn't listen!" whimpered Luna as she clung onto Queen Serenity's arm.

"I told her to stay away from humans! They are bad! They are trouble!" confessed Luna.

"Humans? What about humans?" Queen Serenity as she got angry causing the Moon Stick with the Silver Crystal to begin to glow as she stood up from her throne.

"Humans?" Artemis chuckled nervously.

"Who said anything about humans?"

Queen Serenity grabbed the two catfishes.
