The Pirate and The Mermaid

3: A Pirate

it was so hard having to choose a picture of him as a pirate.

Luna's POV:

This guy's heavy, how much does he have on him? Once I got to the surface, I found what looks like parts of the ship. Maybe it's destroyed? No way, this wasn't that strong of a hurricane. Alright then, I guess I'm heading to land.

By the time we got to land the sun was coming up. As tired as I am—and I have to get home in ten minutes—I can't just leave him here unconscious, what if he never wakes up. "Come on man wake up, as handsome as you are, I need to go home. And let me tell you it is a long swim." At this point I don't know if he's still unconscious, or dying. "Oh well, a mermaids got to do what a mermaids got to do." Our songs lead humans to their death, but our kiss on the other hand—depending on the situation—can bring them back to life. His lips feel soft, but they still taste like that liquid they call rum. "Come on handsome, you got lucky today, now wake up."

Arthur's POV:

Bloody hell, what a hurricane that was. "Wake up." Oh god, with all that rum now I'm hearing things. As I was coming too I saw the silhouette of something—no, someone—beautiful, long hair, green eyes. "Yo Arthur where you at?" Yup, I'm still alive, and now I'm going to have an even bigger headache thanks to Alfred.

Luna's POV:

Oh great, I thought they were dead, "I gotta go." I splashed water on his face to make sure he was up. He got up slowly, but I went down fast.

🧜🏻‍♀️time skip🧜🏻‍♀️

Alright, I'm back home—good thing I left the window unlocked—in my room exhausted. Time for a nice—
"There you are," Aqua said. "You are sooo lucky we didn't tell mom, or anyone in that matter," Lagoona said. "We brought pillows together to make it look like you were under the blanket asleep." "Where were you?" and now my nice long nap is ruined. "Look, me and mom had a big talk in her chambers about my birthday. And then—"
"Oh, we figured out what you were talking about," Lagoona said. When did this girl—who likes having fun—start sounding bossy. I'm the oldest, but I'm too tired to be bossy right now. "We found it under your pillow, Luna." Behind her hands, was the necklace.
"Ok here's the deal. Bring me breakfast, then take a seat and be quiet. And when I'm done with the talking and the food, I'm going to sleep till dinner."

"Okay, so mom gave you the most precious thing in the ocean. And you have to pick one of the princes to marry," Aqua said. "And with all this info, you went above water to think, and literally get fresh air," Lagoona said. "Yup," "and then you saw a pirate ship in the distance and—"
"Uh, I never said it was a pirate ship." "Oh trust me, Luna, that was a pirate ship," Aqua said. "You said someone yelled 'captain overboard,' then it's a pirate ship." "Now hang on, Aqua, if the ship has a flag with a skull and two bones that make an x, then it's a pirate ship," Lagoona said. If they keep talking about pirates, I might actually dream of one. "Where did you leave him anyway?" Aqua asked. "I don't know, some place southwest or west the humans call the Caribbean." "Oh my god, how did you—"
"You know, I'll go back tomorrow and tell you if it is or isn't a pirate ship. Now if you'll excuse me, the future queen, needs beauty sleep."
"Now wait, Luna—"
"Oh, and tell no one, about this. Not even Rey." I was so asleep that I felt I would never wake up.
