Turquoise swam out the gates of the large underwater kingdom where she and her friends, Waves and Red, called home. They were on their way as many others were, to a huge gathering in the ocean celebrating the Great Ocean Mother herself. Well, more specifically a gift from their goddess. Every three years or so, a gigantic clam shell in the middle of the Hivan Ocean would open, revealing the gorgeous mother-of-pearl that lay nestled inside. The clam shell itself was located in a majestic underwater cove surrounded on one side by colorful pink, blue and yellow coral reefs. And it was there the trio, amongst other aquatic peoples, were traveling there to partake of this grand festival. Of course not everyone would be there, but it would still be a large turnout regardless.
It would take Turquoise and her buddies some time to arrive there as they had to travel all the way from the Tuor Ocean, and then eventually cross over into the Hivan Ocean. It was going to be a long journey, several miles away from home in fact, but Turquoise was greatly looking forward to it. There would be much feasting and dancing, music and fun to be had. The mermaid hadn't gotten to go the last time and she was glad to be able to get that chance this time around.
Red sped up ahead in full play mode, his little fishy body wiggling as he did so. "Hey, wait up for us!" Turquoise called out to him, both her and Waves the dolphin were swimming as fast as they could to catch up.
Red giggled and only swam faster. "Catch me if you can!" he chortled, the other two were now several feet behind him.
"Red, you little goof..." Turquoise shook her head in amusement, but continued her 'chase', as did Waves.
Waves in turn, let out her own teasing jibe. "Oh, don't you worry Pudgy, we definitely will!"
"Hey! I told you not to call me that, Waves! No fair!"
"Pudgy!'
"Squeaky!"
"Shark Bait!"
"Chatter Box!"
While her friends had their playful banter between them, Turquoise was soon met up with a merman from her home. He swam up to her and gave her a wink as well as a slap on her upper tail! "Hey beautiful." he greeted her, looking her up and down. "Wanna join me for some
real fun?"
"Get lost Baeron." Turquoise snapped at him, annoyed. "Go bother Anatasia for the ocean's sake! I'm sure she'd love to keep you more than busy."
"Nah, she's too clingy. And not my type." Baeron commented. "But you-"
"Am not interested. Now go away or I'll sic Red on you!"
"Aww, come on baby."
"I mean it!"
Finally the merman relented and left her alone, much to Turquoise's relief. The guy was much too slimy for her tastes. Plus he was also too pale for her liking. But the former was more than enough of a turn-off.
Another person nearby who had witnessed the whole exchange, an octopus man simply commented as a joke, "Trouble in paradise?" Before swimming off, laughing.
Turquoise scowled. "Oh shut up." she muttered.
After swimming for a good stretch, they were almost there. The teal-haired mermaid couldn't be more glad. Baeron had attempted to 'woo' her at least twice more on the way there, and finally she slapped him across the face. He finally took the hint and stopped pestering her. For now anyway.
"We're nearly there!" Waves exclaimed excitedly. "Wheeeeeee!"
"About time." Turquoise swam even faster now, ever anxious to arrive. The celebration would start any time now and she didn't want to miss the opening event.
