-A bit of the scene: Billie is sitting in a chair in a black room. the room is pretty dark besides the one little light bulb over his head setting just a little light upon him. There is a door but its locked from the outside. 

    Alright boys and girls, let’s get this started! Hi my Name is Billie Joe Armstrong. Yes the Billie fuckin Joe. The most awesomest rock star there is! And let’s not forget sexy, very sexy. Anyway I’m about to tell you all about how I ended up in this dark locked room. AHHHH someone kidnapped you?! No, I’m just trapped behind four black walls that is located in a small section of my mind. How did I get here you ask? Well to be honest I have no fucking idea! I don’t even know what the fuck I’m suppose to be doing! All I know is I was resting and then all of a sudden I’m in this dream state or some shit walking down a hall and then I was shoved into this fucking room! Goddammit! I’m sorry it’s not your fault. I blame Neferapophis, pronounced Neh-fur-Ay-poe-fis. Billie what the…? Who or what the hell is this fucking Nerferapophis?Well you probably won’t believe me but it’s a mermaid. WHAT?! YES! A fucking MERMAID! I know. I didn’t think they were real either. I know I know, but just sit and listen to my story and maybe we can figure out together how I ended up in this dark hell. I have to go way back and I mean waaayyyy back, and you better pay attention because I’m only gonna tell it once! Start asking me to repeat something and I will fucking come to your house and rape your ass! Just kidding. I bet you would like that though, ya freak. Haha, gotta love the fans.

    It all started when I was five years old. I had been singing a little with some of my mom’s friends. (cute right.) Anyway, I had made my own little record and I was so happy and proud of myself. (I was fucking five! I was awesome!) I was out playing in the backyard. Now where I use to live there was a small section of yard in the back where I could play then there were woods. In the woods there was a lake but I was never a loud to go in unless I was with a parent. This was very rare though. Back to me playing. I was messing in my sand box with my little truck doing kid stuff ya know, when all of a sudden I heard an echo of soft woos being sung. The wind carried them out of the woods. Alright now that I think about it any other five year old would have been scared shitless. A noise coming from the woods, yeah but not me I was curious about what in the world was making the beautiful sounds. So I started walking. Now if I could go back at this point I probably would stop myself and bust my ass for not listening but I can’t. My father was at work and my mother was in the house busy with my sister. I walked peaking by each tree searching. The woos echoed through the trees, it sounded like two or three girls singing. Then I heard a beautiful voice singing, “Come little children, I’ll take thee away into a land of enchantment.” I was already intrigued I wanted to find this group of girls. “Come little children, the times come to play, here in my garden of shadows.” Play heck yea! I continued walking as the singing grew louder. I finally approached the lake. I was stunned. There was only one girl. She was sitting on a rock in the lake, her back faced me as I walked to the edge of the small wood deck. Can’t really call it a pier because it was small like really small. Hell the lake was lucky to be five foot deep its self. It was more like a pond but slightly bigger. Back to the girl. She had long purple wavy hair. She wore a flowered head band. From what I could see the bottoms of her bathing suit was a sparkling pink color. She continued singing as she rubbed her finger tips over the water. I just sat there mesmerized. “…rest now my children, for soon we’ll away into the calm and the quiet.” I caught a glimpse of the side of her face. She looked beautiful. She finished singing then turned and looked at me. I didn’t know what to do, she just smiled. I smiled back and she dove in the water. I was speechless to see she had a tail instead of legs. Ok that part I’ll repeat; I was speechless to see she had a TAIL INSTEAD OF LEGS! I looked over in the water to find her when I saw bubbles rising up bellow me. She emerged out of the water and I fell back startled (she scared the shit out of me) as she crossed her arms resting on the deck. She was smiling. I pulled myself up to my knees and crawled closer. She had dark violet eyes. Her hair was a darker purple from where it was wet but her red flowers stayed intact.

“Wow, are you a mermaid?” Ok that was a stupid fucking question on my part but hey I was five, there are no stupid questions when you’re five.

“Yes I am.” She giggled. It was cute when I was little.

“Your singing was beautiful. What’s your name?” I didn’t lie. It’s still beautiful today, but I’ve learned a few things when it comes to her singing. It tends to leave you in a bit of a tight situation.

“Why thank you. Neferapophis, but that’s a mouth full you can call me Jamila.” It was a mouth full and at the time I didn’t know who on earth would name someone such a strange god awful name. That’s another story which I will tell later. It’ll come together.

“What are you doing here?”

“Well I came to find someone like you.” She gave me a smile. Now kids when something like this happens DON’T stick around! STRANGER DANGER! Scream and run. Any-who.

“Me?”

“Yes, I want to give you a wish if you’ll have it.” She had me at wish. I nodded my head in excitement. “Just one catch.” There’s always a catch. “I can’t grant your wish right away. I will when you get older. That way I can work on it.”

“Kinda like how Santa has his elves working on toys all year long to be sure they’re right for Christmas?” Yes I compared a mermaid to Santa. I was five!

“Exactly, only it takes a bit more time.” See she gets it.

“How much more time?”

“Years.” Dammit! I should have left then. “So you have to be sure the wish is big and special.” She smiled.

“Ok.” I was so hypnotized by her eyes and smile.

“So what will you wish for?” I sat and thought about it.

“Uh… I want to be a famous singer one day. I want everyone cheering for me chanting my name.” I stood up and started cheering. She laughed.

“Alright, I’ll never forget it.” She eased down and to the water and floated backwards.

“When will you be back? Will I see you tomorrow?” she came back to the deck lifting herself out of the water. Her tail was all pink and sparkly. There was two lines that went up each side of her belly button forming what looked like a bathing suit top covering her breasts. Which were nice by the way. It didn’t wrap around her neck or her back just stopped at her chest.

“I’ll be back in a few years. Don’t worry I’ll find you, and bring you your wish if it hadn’t changed.” She rubbed her nose on mine. I giggled and blushed and she fell back into the water. I quickly bent over the deck looking into the water.

“Wait you don’t even know my name!” her face eased out of the water and we were face to face.

“Sure I do Billie Joe.” That should have been a sign right there! That’s nuts what the hell was wrong with me! I didn’t even tell her my name. Some witch craft going there. She kissed my cheek and disappeared into the water.

   I heard my mother calling and I went back home. I didn’t tell anyone because I wanted to keep it a secret. If you ever come across something like that DO tell someone before you end up like me. the next day I snuck back down to the lake in hopes of seeing my new friend, but no. the lake was dried up and would continue to be for several years. Ok every now and then it would have water, but nothing over two feet deep. That didn’t matter because I moved anyway.

-I set this rated r because of language and some content in future ch's ;)
