Recap

"What's it like there? Are the people nice? Where do you live? How's the weather? Do -", she bombarded us.

"Woah. Woah. Calm down there, sister. One question at a time. And to answer those in order, pretty, near the Beach, some, nice and warm, most of the time.", I told her.

"Oh. Thanks."

"Yep. No problem."

"Well, we should probably get back on our tour.", Tavien told her.

"Oh! Would you like to join us, Claudia?", I asked her.

"Would I? Yes! Thank you."

------------------------

We swam away from Claidia's house at a good strolling speed. We passed merpeople of all ages and sizes. Several merchildren were playing in some nearby seaweed beds. We passed a coral building with some music playing inside. We swam up to the window and peeked inside. Several older mermaids, one merman, and a younger merman were inside. "All right, everyone, gather.", the younger merman said. It looked as if they are taking an aerobics class, like normal old people would do in a pool aerobics class. "First, we're going to stretch. Just follow what I do. All right, were gonna stretch and twist and bend and twist and bend and stretch and twist and twist again and stretch and bend and twist and spin!" They all took a breather. "One more time. Bend and stretch and twist and bend and stretch and twist...."

By this time, we were all snickering at them. "All right, guys, let's move on. Enough laughing at these old ladies.", Tavien said.

"Awww... why? It's just getting good.", Dana and I whined.

"Because, we shouldn't be spying on old ladies. It's not nice, even though it is funny....." We all started laughing again because of the memory. "Come on. Let's go. We have lots more to see."

"All right, come on guys.", I said. We started swimming down the road again.

We swam a little ways down the road some more and passed bakeries, clothing stores, markets, smithies, and many other stores. Alyssa took over as tour guide at this point. "All right, guys, this is the shopping area. Becca, Dana, Emerald, and Seraphina, i think it's time for some quality girl shopping time! Claudia, would you like to come with us?", Alyssa said.

"No thanks, Alyssa. I'll stay with Tavien.", she replied.

"You sure?"

"Ya, i'll be fine."

"Are you positive? Because, I think the boys are going to go play some seaball. I don't know if you want to sit around to watch them."

"No, really, Alyssa, i'll be fine. I'll cheer them on.", she grinned.

"Ok.... if you say so. Have fun."

"Ok, bye!", Claudia said as she and the boys turned around and swam toward the seaball stadium.

With the boys and Claudia swimming away, grinning widely from ear to ear she turned to the girls and said,"Now, which store shall we go in first."

All right, i've decided that i'm going to do at least one upload a week. I'm sure a few of you are happy about that. :) That's the only way for me to upload frequently and not leave you guys hanging. I really hope you are enjoying this story, and I think I might publish the next books in the series. ;) I'm really excited! XD My goal is to become a famous author. Again, I would like to thank ALL of you for reading. I now have at least 1,110 reads, 78 votes, and 63 comments! I REALLY appreciate it. I never thought it would be liked this much. I thought it would be written off as another mermaid story. Well, thanks for not giving up on it! :)
