Paul McCartney & The Mermaid

Chapter 8 - Time's Up

A little while later, the sun was about to set. Madison knew that this was her last chance for Paul to kiss her. The two stand outside on the beach. "Madison?" Paul said. "Yes, Paul?" Answered Madison. "For two days, I've been trying and wanting to kiss you. I just can't hold it back anymore! Can I please kiss you?" Asked Paul. "Of course you can. I really wanna kiss you too." Madison said. She wraps her arms around Paul's neck while he puts his hands on her waist. The two start to lean in to kiss.

"Not so fast!" An angry voice said interrupting their moment. Both Paul and Madison let out a gasp and see the chief blue meanie. "What do you want?" Madison angrily asked. "Do you see what I see?" Asked the chief blue meanie. He points to the setting sun. All of a sudden, Madison turns back into a mermaid and slides down from Paul's grasp. His eyes grow wide when he sees her tail. "You're... a mermaid?!" He asked in shock. Madison hangs her head low. "Yes. I'm so sorry, Paul." She said sadly. "You're too late!" The chief blue meanie shouted.

He rushes towards Madison and grabs her, dragging her back into the ocean. "PAUL!!!!!!" She yelled. "MADISON!!!!!!" Screamed Paul. He tries to run after her, but, she's already back in the water. Paul blankly stares into space and his breathing speeds up. He falls to his knees, buries his face into his hands, and bursts into tears.

Under The Water

The chief blue meanie holds Madison by her arm as he drags her back to his lair. "You tricked me! How could you?!" Madison asked angrily. "Silence, whippersnapper!" Yelled the chief. Suddenly, Rachel appears infront of them. "Let go of my sister!" She yelled. "Not a chance! She's mine now! We made a deal!" The chief said. He shows Rachel the scroll Madison signed. "Madison, is this true?" Asked Rachel. "It's true! I'm sorry, Rachel! I didn't mean to!" Madison said. Rachel clenches her fist and punches the chief in his face.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Getting a little feisty, are we?" He said. "Give her to me, right now!" Rachel hollered. "You can have her back, on one condition." Said the chief. "Ugh, fine! What's your condition?" Scoffed Rachel. "You take your sister's place." The chief said. Rachel looks back at Madison, who has a look of desperation on her face. "I guess I have no other choice." Said Rachel. She takes the scroll from the chief while he hands her a pen. She signs her name in Madison's place. "It's done then!" Said the chief blue meanie.

He releases Madison from his grasp and she embraces her sister. "I thought I lost you, Madi!" Rachel said. "I'm fine now." Said Madison. Their embrace gets interrupted when the chief blue meanie grabs Rachel by her arm. "No!" Madison yelled. "I'm sorry, but, we had a deal!" Said the chief. "I don't care! It's over!" Said Madison angrily. The chief refused to release Rachel. So, Madison pushes him with powerful force. Before he comes back, Madison grabs Rachel and they swim away as fast as they can.
