I jumped back startled. Obviously. But the seaweed and the fish boy sill had a hold on me. So I punched him like any reasonable person would. If you have ever tried to punch someone under water you will know what I mean when I tell you it does not work out. He grabbed my hands for me to stop and it was like the water didn't affect him. I decided I would give this freak a chance since it had been a solid five minutes since I had gone under and I wasn't dead. Then he SPOKE. I'm not kidding. If you think this is a joke leave now. Alright back to my story. So he said "how do you feel?" So I didn't say anything because I didn't figure I could talk underwater. I just shrugged my shoulders as to say "I've had worse days" and he said "you know you can talk right? I'm touching you so you can talk and breath, not to be creepy."
So I tried out the whole talking underwater thing. " uh okay well thanks for not letting me die I guess but why is the seaweed attaching me"
He looked super surprised and then the seaweed all came off of my feet.
"Oh no! I'm sorry. I can control things like that and well I lost control..."
"that's not cool." I snapped "why did you lose control? You can't just go around trying to catch people with seaweed!"
He looked pissed. "YEAH well why are you stealing all this stuff from the ocean?" He said
"Stealing??!? I am cleaning it up from all the dirt bags on land that throw crap down here. It pollutes the ocean and makes life difficult for sea creatures!" I snapped. Now he was pissing me off
"Yeah well I like to collect that stuff you call 'crap'!" He was getting sassy now.
"God you sound like the little mermaid" I rolled my eyes.
"I am one of the biggest merMANs!" He looked offended.
"Oh my god never mind"
"Fine then come with me!" Then he started to drag me away against my protests. Mermen are strong apparently because I didn't stand a chance, and this merman obviously didn't know manners. So we went deeper into the ocean.
