Smg4 sneaked his head out of the room, perking up as he quickly hid when he heard the night guard cough. Smg4 grumbled to himself slightly before he moved out of his room, quiet as a mouse as he hurriedly climbed up the staircase, before he unlatched the tank lid. Smg3 was probably asleep, maybe because it was 1AM.. A hour after he promised to come.

"Smg3? You there bud?" Smg4 called out softly out into the tank. 

Immediately, the water started shaking, as 3's purple tail flicked in and out of the coral cave, and 3's tired eyes peeked out of the sand bed. Smg4 beckoned 3 up, and 3 looked around for anything, before he swam up swiftly, his head merging from the water.

"Thought you weren't going to come. Impressive, Prince." Smg3 smirked, as he put his chin on his palm, his purple tail swishing in the clear water.

"Sorry- There was this guard stalking around my room so i had to wait, and honestly, they took really long." Smg4 sighed as he glanced at the door again, to check.

Smg4 put his arms under 3's shoulders, as he hauled 3 up. He was surprisingly light. Smg3 used his tail to lever himself up, as he pushed himself up, as 4 held him up bridal style. Smg3 grunted at the close contact, but he didnt say anything. Smg3 blushed slightly as 4 carried him over to the balcony, the moon shining down at them, as 4 stuck out his tongue, digging out a flashlight from his pocket. Smg3 could feel his tail drying quicker than usual, and the unfamiliar feeling of legs was growing on him. Smg4 had turned around, looking down at the ground from the balcony, and 3 stumbled as the human legs grew onto his body.

"Shit." Smg3 muttered, falling.

Suddenly, someone caught him, as 3 slipped on the floor, flailing as his new temporarily legs shuffled. 

Smg3 blushed as 4 gave a sigh of relief, as he helped 3 up and standing

Smg3 blushed as 4 gave a sigh of relief, as he helped 3 up and standing. It took some wobbles before he regained his balance, holding onto the handrail of the balcony side.

"Did you say it took 5 minutes for you to- You know what, dont answer that. We need to go." Smg4 had swerved around, he had heard something in the distance, and he helped 3 stand up straight.

Smg4, without warning, lifted 3 up onto his back, as he threw his leg over the balcony, clinging onto the roofside before he jumped down to land on it, holding onto 3 tightly, as he ran. Smg3 held hard onto 4's back, as his hands wrapped onto 4's shoulders. Smg4 was sprinting now, as he ran with the night, the moonlight shining onto his face. Smg3 suddenly almost fell off 4's back, but 4 caught 3 just in time, as he bent down like a dancing pose to reach for 3's hand and pull him up. Smg3 blushed and so did 4, before 3 caught his balance, and 4 pulled him to continue running. It felt, almost natural. Smg3 got the hang of it soon enough, and a smile was growing on his face. Smg4 grinned as he yanked 3's two hands, jumping from a short distance roof to roof. Smg3 laughed softly as 4 put him back onto the rooftop, as they both ran hand in hand, in perfect sync. Smg4 seemed happy, the now visible eye-bags under his eyes were gone, as his eyes sang with his beautiful lapis lazuli eyes. Smg3's own wine red eyes flashed in the night, as the glorious but unusual shades glimmered. Smg3 was in pace with 4, as they slowly reached the sight of the familiar blue sea, as they came to a halt. Suddenly, a yell came from the ground.

"PRINCE! WHAT ARE YOU DOING OUT?! IS THAT THE SIREN?!" A villager called out, as Smg4 winced.

They weren't supposed to get caught. Smg3 hesitated, before he saw a water puddle from the last night rain. 

"Cover your ears, Prince." Smg3 whispered, as he dabbed a finger into the puddle, as talons formed at the tips of his wet hands.

"You are NOT attacking him!" Smg4 protested quietly.

"Relax. Just a little trick i learnt." Smg3 grinned as he used the water to drip around his throat and face, as he felt his vocal cords changing. "Now cover your ears, idiot!" 

Smg4 clasped his hands around his ears quickly, as 3 stood up, little wobbly as the villager backed up, afraid of what 3 would do. Smg3 started doing the all too familiar siren song that all sirens had, his eyes flashing as he made eye contact with the villager, the pitches from his throat perfect, and beautiful. Smg4 knew better than to give in to the song, having to heard tales about them. The song did its work, as the villager's eyes flashed the same wine red, and 3 continued to sing softly, as the villager, under 3's hypnotism, went away. Smg3 finished just as the water dried up, his special features disappearing. Smg3 nodded at 4 to remove his hands, as he smirked.

"Woah. That- That was amazing..." Smg4 breathed out, his hands moving closer to 3, as if he was in a trance.

"Slow down cowboy! This is a effect from the song." Smg3 sighed as he pushed 4 away, pulling 4's hands over to pull him.

"Hu- Sorry...I cant control it- It feels natural." Smg4 murmured, following 3, as he beckoned 3 to follow him down the rooftop.

Smg3 smirked before he jumped down, stumbling a little. Smg4 had this creased face, worry all over. Smg3 was in the lead, breathing in the salty air. Smg4 laughed and cracked a few jokes with 3, as they chattered. As they walked, the few strikes of morning sun rose, and they reached the sea. Smg3 smiled softly as he saw the sea, staring into the horizon. 

"Thank you, 4..." Smg3 breathed out, smiling. 

"Maybe- Can you do me a favour?" Smg4 asked, sounding small.

"What is it?" 

"Can i- Can i come with you?"
