-Mixed up stuff: Yet another book-

[🌊 Old Tales Of The Sea/Mixels Short story]

Note: Mareeniro is owned by Syndrome, while Dolphino is owned by me.

Mareeniro entered his hut in Pyrrat De Isle with Dolphino, he wiped off a drop of sweat with one of his green tentacles.

- "Ay.. that was quite a show we put on, Dolphi?" Mareeniro looked down at the dolphin Pyrratz Mixel beside him.

- Dolphino nodded. "Sure was, Mari! It reminds me of one the stories my pa used to tell me."

Mareeniro grew curious, he didn't know much about Dolphino's father other than the fact that he passed away and inspired her love for adventure.

- "Say, mate... Ya don't mind about tellin' me about one of these stories, do ya?"

When Mareeniro asked this, Dolphino's hook like tail started wagging and she somehow lifted up Mareeniro... Even though the latter was taller than her. She then plopped him into his hammock bed.

- "I thought you'd never ask! Sorry about that by the way." Dolphino chuckled as she sat on a little stool in the room.

Mareeniro smiled, doing a motion with one of his tentacles as if to say "don't worry about it". Dolphino would clear her throat, beginning one of the old tales her father had told her.

"One day while I was sailing the Mixel seas, I heard something below the water that caught my very eye..."

"It was the sound of singing, joyous singing, so I dived deep with my two fins to find out what it was."

"And by golly, it was an underwater tribe! They called themselves 'The Mixquatics' and they were all about peace and giving joy and warmth to any visitors that came by."

"And I bet someday Dolphi, you might meet them too..."

Once she finished, Dolphino had a tear come down her face. Mareeniro looked at her with concern.

- "Dolphi? You okay?..."

- "I'm fine, Mari-! Just got.. a little emotional there is all." Dolphino wiped away her tear, she still felt a bit emotional however.

Mareeniro got up from his hammock and pulled his dolphin friend into a hug, with all six of his green tentacle like feathers.

- "It's alright, mate... We all get emotional y'know?"

Dolphino looked up at him, and eventually hugged him back in return. She made a light hearted chuckle.

- "Heh.. yeah, we do."
