PHIL SWAM AROUND,BORED.

He looked at the fish swimming past him,each a different color.Some had large fins,some had short tails.Phil looked a bright orange fish,and wanted to make a conversation.

"Hello!"
"Leave me alone—you freak"

Phil sighed,bubbles escaping his mouth.He gets the same response from all most every fish;leave me alone freak.

He didn't know why he was a freak—he had scales,gils,and a tail just like them.Sure,he did have weird scales and had a strange upper body,but who cares?

Apparently every fish he meets.

Phil swam away,back home.He enters his home(a little cave with shiny crystals on the roof,with a small bedroom)and starts to fix himself lunch.He would eat seaweed and other sea plants,but today he tried clam.

Now,he's not used to eating clams.Phil hates eating other life organisms,but he has to try one day.He slowly started to put the calm towards his mouth,but put it on the plate.Phil couldn't(and wouldn't)bring himself to eat it.He sighed,bubbles leaving his mouth.

He wonders what life is above the blue sea.

yall gonna need tissues soon

DAN WANDERED AROUND THE TOWN SQUARE,GIGGLING AND HICCUPING.

He had gotten drunk,and was wondering around aimlessly, as long as it was away from the crowded bar.Dan had a drunk smile on his face, and a goofy looking walk.The brit kept tripping over his own feet, giggling it off.

He stubbled across the beach, and sat on the wet sand.The waves tickled his feet, and he relaxed.Dan's legs stretched out pretty far as the giant he is.The tall brunette reached out to the water, and felt something.He grabbed it without thinking twice, and it was a beautiful shell.It was pearly blue.

Dan then heard a splash in the distance, and stood up.He looked around, a bit frightened.He walked towards the splash,as it was close to the dock that stretched out for boats.When he got there, he looked down from the end of the dock into the water.There wasn't anything he could see that was out of place - in his drunken state, anyways.

He decided to sit down,and he hung his legs off the dock.He stared at the sun setting, the sky turning into many colors - orange,pink,purple,blue,red,yellow - and so much more.Dan loved it.

Dan felt something tug at his feet, and the next thing he knew he was in the water.

...

Phil swam around, bored.He was swimming closer to the shore(but of course he had no idea).The mermaid looked up,and saw something turn into many beautiful colors - ones he had never seen before.Phil wanted to know what was changing color's he decided he should swim up.He gathered all his courage,took in a deep breathe,and swam up.

When he poked his head up,he felt as if he was choking.He swam straight down again - forgetting was it had looked like above the water.Phil was breathing heavy - his heart thumping.Why did it feel so...strange?

Those were questions he could answer later, as he saw a shadow in the water.Phil swam closer,curious.When he got closer, he saw a weird figure above the water, looking out onto the sea.He was confused - how could the mermaid up there breathe?And why does the mermaid have two tails with fins on the tips?Phil was very confused,so he decided to pull the mermaid in.Probably not the smartest thing to doubt oh well.

He pulled the mermaid in,and the mermaid has weird features about it - it had no gills, no fish fins, two tales,a very strange skin color(it was black,but pale like Phil's at the same time),and something covering his tails.

The creature opened it eyes, and closed them again.It looked like it was in pain from opening it's eyes.The hair atop his head was becoming curly.It flicked it's tails in an odd way, and it used its arms to swim up.Phil stared at the creature in awe.It was so beautiful - he had never seen anything like it.

The unfamiliar mermaid gasped for the weird water as if he needed it,and Phil swam away - a bit scared.

A feeling in his chest began to sprout, one that would he not be able to describe in words.
