       During the swim to Tramor, Twinkle watched Frost. He looked like he was having fun. As Twinkle watched, she was convinced he got replaced or something.

                           "Um, Frost." Twinkle said, nervously.

                                  He swam to her. "Yeah."

                            "Are you ok?" Twinkle asked.

                                         "Never better." Frost replied. From the look on her face, he could tell she wasn't satisfied. "Why do you ask?"

                             Twinkle shrugged. "You're acting differently all of a sudden."

                                           "In what way?" Frost asked in curious confusion.

                               "From when you first showed up, yesterday up until a few minutes ago were very um, serious." Twinkle admitted in reply. "But now, you're not."

                                        "And that's a problem?" Frost asked in confusion. "I don't understand."

                                               Twinkle shook her head. "It's not a problem."

                                                  "Then what's wrong?" Frost asked in frustration.

                                              Twinkle a deep breath. "Look, all I wanna know is what caused the attitude change?"

                                                      Frost sighed heavily. "To be honest, the first time in what feels like forever that I can happy and have some fun."

                                                         "Ever since the loss of King Acro?" Twinkle asked, knowingly.

                                                         Frost nodded. "Yes."

                                                         "And in case you were wondering how I know, Coral told me and my sisters." Twinkle explained.

                                            "But not Maestro?" Frost asked in confusion. "He paused as he thought back earlier today. "Oh, right. He wasn't raised along side you and your sisters."

                                            "I'm guessing he told you, huh?" Twinkle asked, knowingly.

                                                         "Not just me." Frost clarified in reply. "But also Popsicle, Solar and Wave."

                                                      Twinkle sighed. "Solar."

                                                  "I assume you're with him, as it were." Frost said with a smirk.

                                                       "Yep." Twinkle confirmed. "Who do you think told him about merpeople?" She winked.

                                                       "Signs to point to, you." Frost said as he smiled at her.

                                                               Twinkle smiled back as they reached Tramor harbor. "We're here."
