"Mum!" I yell from the kitchen, "There's no prawns! What am I going to snack on?"
"Call the cafe and place an order, Poseidon needs treats too, for now, eat some crawfish!" my mum, Rita, yells back at me from down the hall.
"Okay!" I yell back as I grab my phone and dial the cafés number.
"Hello?" David answers.
"Hi David, it's Melody, I need to place an order for prawns and tuna," I say to him.
"Sure, how much?" he asks.
"Umm... Wait a second," I pull the phone away, "Mum, how much do you want?" I ask her when she walks in.
"However much prawns you want, and at least two pounds of tuna, it will last us for a while," she says opening the fridge and grabbing the last of the tuna.
"Okay, David?" I ask putting the phone back to my ear.
"Ya?" he replies.
"I need two pounds of prawns and two pounds of tuna, three lobsters, four crabs, and a pound of crawfish," I say writing down what I said on a note pad.
"Okay, that'll be... $150.75," he says.
"The usual!" I say, "Mum said she'll pay you when you deliver it."
"That's fine, I'll see about when it can be delivered," he says.
"Okay, see ya around David," I say.
"See ya Melody," he replies before hanging up.
"Order placed?" Mum asks after putting Poseidon's bowl on the floor.
"Yeah, two pounds of prawns, two pounds of tuna, three lobsters, four crabs, and a pound of crawfish," I say jumping up onto the counter.
"What did I say about being on the counter?" she says warningly.
"Sorry mum," I say sliding down.
"Okay, I have to go run some erons, so if you go out, be careful, and don't stay out too late," she says grabbing her purse.
"I always am, plus I might just go for a swim!" I say yelling toward the door.
"Fine by me, love you sweetheart!" she says before opening the door.
"Love you too mum!" I say before heading down the hall to the bookshelves. I pull on the mermaid myths one, and the hidden door to the grotto opens.
I head down the stairs. I toss my phone on the seat, and head toward the moon pool. I jump in, and once my tail forms, I speed off.
