Flashback

"Mom, Dad, I saw mermaid! She talked to me, she was so pretty but she said not to tell anyone but she said I can tell you guys!!!" The little boy jumped

"Oh really? What's her name? " his Mom said

"Umm, I think it was Coralia Floria Jewel, her name was long but I decided to call her Lia" The boy giggled

"Hmm, what a pretty name, what was she like?" The Dad replied to his son as he joined them

"Well she had this really gold and then kinda pink in the bottom , like , like an Ombre kind!" The boy pointed his finger on the air

"Was she nice , is she adorable?"his mom cuddled her son

"Well she's pretty nice, and what's adorable? People keep saying I'm adorable" he crossed his hands and looked above

"It's an another word for cute" her mom smiled

"Ohh, I guess she is then, OH! And she had this really awesome tortoise eyes" he waved his little hands

His mom looked confused then she realizes what her son said, "It's turquoise honey, I already told you that" she furrowed her brows and pouted

"Yes, I did say turquoise" he smirked

"Ok that's enough for today you must eat ! Don't forget your milk" she instructed

"Mom I think one of my teeth hurts "
He mumbled

"Then the tooth fairy might be waiting"
She smiled

"Ok" the little boy said as he counted some coins

Nathan's P.O.V

"We're here" mom and dad said in chorus

"Ok" I sighed

My eyes widened as I saw the beach, "Wow", I looked at mom and dad , and they just nodded and said "Go, just remember to stop for lunch ok, " the both said in chorus

I was about to head at my room to change, "Oh, and don't drown! " she suddenly added. I grinned at her and said " Well, of course I'm gonna drown, I'm just a champion after all" hehehehe I put on an evil face and a smirk. "Hmm, just be careful okay, even professionals drown sometimes" she said with a worried look and then she smiled softly, " Ok, mom thanks" I said as I walked towards my room.

I finished changing and I started to run , and then I slowed down, I felt everything is nostalgic "Hmmm, this feels familiar"I squinted my eyes

"Whatever" I shake it off , Hmm maybe I want to be a singer? That's a taylor swift line

As I was swimming for about 10 minutes or so, I felt like somebody was staring at me , I checked if there was , Nah maybe I'm just being paranoid"

I headed where our place was , I was hungry
While we were eating, "Dad this beach seems familiar"
"We went here before" he drank his juice
Then I saw my mom smiling widely
"This is the place where you met a mermaid, hahaha back when you were so little , you even said you had a promise with her" she laughed
"......"
I looked at her with a weirded-out face, when she stopped laughing I started to speak "I don't even remember anything 10 years ago"

"Well, that was 11 years ago, when you we're like 5?" Mom said while eating her homemade salad. Then Dad suddenly laughed

Me and my mom had "?" Face as we tried to get some spoons and forks
