Chapter 6

"Louis!" Fizzy called her brother from outside of his bedroom, "Time to come out! You've been in there all morning!" Louis floated out of his room, humming, and all of his sisters took notice. They stood behind him as he fluffed his fringe in the mirror. He plucked a seaflower and inhaled it's smell deeply. As he swam out of the room, he bumped into King Triton.

"Oh!" He giggled, "Hi daddy." He placed the flower in his father's crown and swam away, singing softly.

"What's wrong with Louis?" Triton asked.

"Isn't it obvious, daddy?" Daisy shrugged, "Louis' in love."

The sea king pulled the flower out of his hair and smiled curiously.

"Okay, so far so good," Zayn paced back and forth, "I don't think the king notices anything."

Meanwhile, Louis, above the pacing Zayn, was plucking the petals of a flower.

"He loves me," He smiled at the petal before dropping it lightly. He groaned and frowned at the next petal, grumbling, "He loves me not."

His eyes widened and his smile stretched widely across his face as he plucked the last petal triumphantly and squealed, "He loves me! I knew it!" Zayn rolled his eyes, swimming up to Louis.

"Louis, will you please-"

"I gotta see him again," Louis interrupted, "Tonight. Niall knows where he lives-"

"Louis, listen!"

"I could swim under his window, then Liam will splash around to get his attention, then-"

"Down here is your home!" Zayn shouted, before swimming in front of Louis' face to stop his pacing.

"Louis, listen to me," He pleaded, "the human world- it's a mess. Life under the sea is better than anything they got up there!" Louis sat back down, frowning, and looking up dreamily at the surface. Zayn realized the only way to communicate to the young merman was through song.

"The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake,

You dream about going up there," Zayn yanked down Louis' chin so he was staring back down at him, "But that is a big mistake. Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor! Such wonderful things around you, what more are you looking for?"

"Under the sea, Under the sea,

Darling it's better, down where it's wetter, take it from me!

Up on the shore, they work all day,

Out in the sun, they slave away," Zayn dramatically mimicked a slaving human, making Louis roll his eyes.

"While we're devoting our time to floating under the sea!" Zayn noticed a lobster playing the seashell drums and joined him to play the beat.

"Down here all the fish are happy, As off through the waves they roll," They sang joyfully.

"The fish on the land ain't happy," They frowned, "They're sad cause they're in their bowl."

A fish floated by in a bubble, looking very depressed. Louis gasped, staring worriedly at the fish.

"But fish in the bowl is lucky," Zayn continued, "He's in for a worser fate. One day, when the boss gets hungry-"

"Guess who gon be on de plate?" The fish in the bubble sang.
