When we got out of the Palace, Pearl left immediately to get a shark. We needed to come up with a proper plan now. Soon a little merboy swam up to me and wrapped his arms around me.

Caleb: "Jesse!"

Jesse: "Caleb?"

I hugged him.

Jesse: "I'm so happy to see you, little buddy."

The little merboy giggled. Then I saw a mermaid swimming towards me.

Jesse: "Ivy!"

Ivy: "Jesse!"

She swam up to me and hugged me.

Ivy: "I'm so glad you're safe!"

Jesse: "Me too!"

Reuben swam up to Ivy. She petted him.

Ivy: "Tell me, is you're friend ok?"

Axel: "She's fine. She just..."

Lukas: "... looks a little different."

Ivy: "Did Saturn turn her?"

Jesse, Olivia, Axel & Lukas: "Yeah."

Ivy: "I though he might of. I just didn't feel like I should have been the one to tell you."

Olivia: "We appreciate you telling us about her anyway."

Jesse: "By the way, what did you do to Kelpie."

Ivy smiled and looked at Caleb.

Ivy: "You wanna tell her what we did to the bad fish, Caleb?"

We all smiled and looked at him.

Caleb: "Bad fishy gone bye bye."

We all laughed.

Ivy: "We got him lost in the Kelp forest outside Subtropolis. Don't worry. Even if he survives, he wouldn't dare come back."

Axel: "Kelpie lost in the Kelp. Heh. Ironic."

Lukas: "Good riddance to him."

Ivy: "What's your plan, my friends?"

Jesse: "Well..."

We told her the plan.

Jesse: "...We're going to need to divide and conquer here, people. Lukas, go to Petra and Sammy."

Lukas: "Right."

He swims off.

Jesse: "Axel, Olivia, You two come with Reuben and I."

Olivia & Axel: "Right."

Jesse: "and Ivy, Caleb. You know what to do."

Ivy: "We're on it!"

Jesse: "Ok. Break!"

And we all swam off.
