The Ocean's Heart

Chapter 12

In the ocean, Panchito was awestruck by his new tail.

"Aye caramba! I am a merman" he said to himself.

Panchito swam around. 

There was a whole other world under the sea.

Panchito eventually found Arista.

"Arista! It's me! Panchito" he said.

"Panchito? Where have you been?" said Arista.

"I have been rehearsing the daylight out of our songs with my amigos" said Panchito.

"Huge concert coming up?" said Arista.

"Concert? If you want a concert, you should have been at our show last week. This time, we are to be entering in a singing competition" said Panchito.

"Oh! Against who?" said Arista.

"Marilyn Manson"

"Marilyn Manson?"

"Si"

"Panchito, Marilyn Manson is gothic and plays punk rock" said Arista.

"How do you know?" said Panchito.

"I sing myself and my sisters and I are very knowledgable about music" said Arista.

"Fantastico." said Panchito.

"But if you want to beat Marilyn Manson, you have to be there" said Arista.

"I know, but I cannot. I am a merman now" said Panchito.

"And I am so glad." said Arista.

"Me too. I do not ever want to lose you" said Panchito.

Arista smiled.

"How did you become a merman anyway?" said Arista.

"Well, it was not easy. A magician said he would do it. I did not want to agree" said Panchito.

"But why?" said Arista.

"Because I did not want to leave my amigos. They are counting on me to win the singing competition" said Panchito.

"Then why did you do it?" said Arista.

"Because I love you. I saw you in front of the sunset and it was so beautiful" said Panchito.

"Oh..." Arista giggled.
