"Ughh...what the hell happened? Agh... that hurts......." Joshua cringed as his head started to pound. He didn't give in the effort to recall what exactly happened either, as it seemed to be the cause of his headache.
"I need some fresh air-Ack! Gosh Damit Niles You Have A Freaking Bed!" He yelled as he tripped on Niles' sleeping body on the floor.
Niles just groaned turning to the other side.
"Mmmmm..five more minutes so keep it down.." This made Joshua roll his eyes as he stood up to carry his lazy friend on a bed and left out the dorms.
As he opened the door, he breathed in a great amount of air to exhale it in a relaxing sigh, admiring that today seemed to be a good day. The ship was quiet however, as it was still early in the morning, and so he proceeded to walk towards one of the side of the ship to admire the view. Joshua closed his eyes smiling at how the air ruffled in through his red locks of hair, when suddenly he heard a splash below. He looked down the calming blue waves, but saw nothing to his disappointment and began to walk away slowly.
"Huh..I guess it was some fish."
"Oh on, but you're close~" a voice cooed
Joshua with his wide eyes in disbelief, ran back and gripped the side of the boat leaning in as much as he could to the ocean, and there peeked a small blonde girl.
"I'm a mermaid to be exactly." The blonde said as she floated on her back exposing her body to his view of which consisted of a pink and purple scaled mermaid tail.
"What the hell!?"
"Oh hush don't be so loud you'll wake up the others. Have you never seen such a beautiful mermaid like me? The name's Clarine~" she winked. "Daughter of Court Regaly-"
And Joshua just zoned out of her ranting sweat dropping as she was miserably hitting on him. What the hell?
"Look I don't care if you're princess of the pretend palace of Atlantis, and even if you were to fetch a good price you're not worth my time to catch with that sassy attitude and flat chested body." Joshua said cutting in, making the princess grow an irk mark as she twitched her eye brow.
She punched the water with her fists and flared her arms around all offended.
"How dare you speak to a royal like that you disgusting perv! And For Your Information ATLANTIS DOES EXIST!!"
Joshua tiered of this, tched and as soon as he gave his back on her, a huge conch shell came in banging him on the head.
"HEY IM NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!"
"ACK!! WHAT THE HELL THAT HURT! WHAT DO YOU WANT ANYWAYS!!"
Clarine puffed out her cheeks crossing her arms at Joshua.
"Beware, the one you had close to you may bite you back."
"Huh?" Joshua gave in a confused look as if she had lost her marbles. "What's that suppose to mean? I thought you were a mermaid not some fortune teller."
"Shut up you jerk! Just take the advice, Dad send me on a mission to go out to see as many Captains as I could to warn them whats coming to them as my way of training to read the sphere of future sight and-"
All Joshua heard was blah, blah, blah.
"-So good day to you Mister." And with that, the mermaid merged into the sea disappearing.
That was awkward...but what worried him was the only useful thing she said in all of her ranting. What does she mean by the one I had close to me may bite me back? She didn't look like she was lying either...and he held his chin thinking of what might the mermaid be referring to.
"Hey buddy what are you thinking about?" Niles yawned as he patted Joshua out of his trail of thinking.
He couldn't exactly tell him about the awkward encounter so he skipped that. "Ahh...i-its nothing really, I was wondering on which map we should follow today."
"Really? And what have you decide on?" Niles responded leaning closer to his companion.
Damit, he's not buying it.."I haven't decided yet, I was waiting for your lazy ass to wake up." he snorted making Niles laugh.
"Haha, aren't you the joker, well then lets head over to the office and decide on a route." And pulled him over towards his office.
Still laughing, something on the side of his ship caught his attention, making Niles squint. What the..is that a conch shell?
Joshua's eye twitched in annoyance. Idiot! You forgot to throw the evidence away!! Trying to think of something up he pushed Niles down and began to run.
"Last one to arrive at the office will have to eat the rotten food!"
"HEY YOU CHEATED NO FAIR!!" Niles yelled back sprinting to get ahead.
That was close....
