Dream's POV
Being 16 years old, you don't really understand many things nor do you understand your scientist father. He's always secretive about the things in his lab and he wouldn't let me go in to see anything. But today, I finally convinced him to let me see what he does in his lab! I'm really excited because I've always been so curious about what my dad does and what is in his lab.

We were now in front of the big door that leads us into his lab.

"Dream, remember, do not touch anything and be careful." My dad said while getting his key card out to unlock the door.

"I know I know. I'm not that dumb." I took a small deep breath, feeling kinda nervous now.

"Ok. Are you ready? In 3... 2... 1"

The door opens and I saw a huge lab, "Woah..."

My dad leads us inside and I start to walk around looking at everything while being careful. I then walked to the center of the lab and I saw a big gigantic circular tank that looked like it would fit a huge sea animal. I didn't see anything in there though besides all the coral decorations and other stuff. I walked up closer to the glass and I put my hand on the glass. I closed my eyes for a second.

When I opened my eyes again, I was met by another face on the other side of the glass tank.

"AHHH!" I jumped back and tripped on my heel and fell down to the floor on my butt. I don't think my dad heard me though since he's on the other side of the lab and also on the second floor of the lab.

I looked up and I saw a mermaid?! It was a boy and he looked like he was my age. He was looking at me with some concern and confusion on his face. I took time to analyze what he looked like.

He has fair pale skin that seemed to have some blue scales here and there on his skin, his figure is small, his ears are kinda pointy and it also had blue at the pointy part of his ears, he has dark brown hair, his eyes are honey like with specks of blue, and his tail. His tail was a beautiful royal blue that seemed to really shine in the water and its connected to his body with a gradient look. I would be lying if I said he isn't the most beautiful person I've ever met but how did my dad have this beauty here?

I finally got up from the floor and I walked back up to the glass so I'm standing back in front of the mermaid. He didn't seem like he was scared of me. I put my hand on the glass, just really admiring him and being fascinated. I saw him lift his hand up and put his hand on the glass too so that our hands were aligned. We looked at each other in the eyes.

"I don't know if you can hear me or understand what I'm saying but you're really pretty." I smiled softly and I saw him smile too which means that he can hear and understand me.

I then heard footsteps behind me but I couldn't look away from what was in front of me. It seems like the mermaid heard the footsteps too and saw who was behind me and backed up away from the glass a little bit which made me frown a little bit. I turned around and it was my dad.

"It seems like you have found George." My dad says as he came to stand beside me and looking at the mermaid.

"George? That's his name?" I turned back around and it seems like George has settled down on a big slanted rock now just laying there.

"Me and a few of the other scientists saved him from these bad people that wanted his tail. George doesn't really have anyone else to go to and he mindlessly swims in the ocean and gets caught sometimes. I decided to take him in so he could be safer here, I had his consent of course before bringing him here. This was around a year ago and he's also 16 like you." My dad explained to me, "I think he has taken a liking to you since he would be scared when there's new people that come."

"Will you ever let him go free again?" I asked turning my head to look at my dad.

"Well that is for George to decide. I'm happy to keep him here safe for as long as he would like but I know at some point he would want to be free again in the ocean." My dad turned to me and smiled a little bit, "I said that this would be the only time you'll get to be here but I think you should come here more often to keep George company."

We looked over back to George and he was swimming around excitedly and then he got a bit closer to the glass and looked at me with a facial expression that was like he was also asking me to come more often to keep him company. I smiled and agreed to come more often.

"I can take you to the top surface of the tank at some point so you can see him more up close and maybe talk to him." My dad said after a moment of quietness.

"I would love that." I saw George smiled more and I couldn't help but to smile even more too.
