“I’m looking for Harry Styles.”

“Well aren’t we all.”

“Huh?”

“He is a fine piece of ass isn’t he?”

I was appalled. How did she know my Harry? And why did she say that aboat him?!

“Come on let’s go to my apartment and get you settled in.”

I nodded my head. I hoped she would help me find Harry. I was dying to sea him again. I had a small dream of him teaching me all aboat human life like I taught him aboat mermaid living. I imagined us running along the beach with our toes in the sand and falling. I was excited to fall because there is gravity here. In the ocean if you tripped you just kind of floated for a little while.

“Waverly come on, I don’t live that far from here.”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We walked along a long bridge like thing that had many people on it. My eyes were wide like a blowfish while looking at all the different assortments of stands while people yelling at you to buy somefin. I clung onto Bridget’s arm like a scared little merfish.

There were all kinds of different looking humans too. I couldn’t help but stare at them. Some were very attracting to the eye and others……Not so much.

“Waverly stop staring.”

“I can’t. Humans are so interesting.”

“Humans are assholes.”

“Are we almost there?” I dodged a very large man wearing a red top while eating something pointy with a dripping scoop on top.

“Almost.”

I clung onto her arm for sear life. I still wasn’t used to traveling with legs so I would stumble and trip. I forgot to put one leg in front of another and ended up falling into a woman walking very fast while talking to a rectangular device.
“Watch where you’re going!”

All I could do was stare as she hurriedly walked away. Well that woman was rude. Bridget tugged me along.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

We entered into a large building. I wasn’t quite sure how they made the sand look that way. It was pretty cool.

“We have to go in the elevator to get to my floor.”

“What’s an elevator?”

“This thing.”

The doors magically opened. An amazed gasp left my mouth. How did the doors disappear like that? I quickly tried to my new legs to get a better look. I stroked my fingers along the place where they faded into. I stuck my finger in the slot.

“Don’t do that Waverly.”

“Where did the doors go?”

“I don’t even know. Nobody asks come on I want to eat some chicken.”

I stepped into a small box like room. Bridget pressed a button labeled 6. The doors suddenly reappeared. “Woah,” my eyes were wide. I tried sticking my head in between them before Bridget caught them.

“no.”

I put my hand by my side and almost had a heart attack when it felt like we were moving.

“WHAT THE DEEP SEA IS HAPPENING?!”

Bridget let out a deep breath, “We are moving.”

“How?!”

“I’m not an elevator mechanic.”

I was completely amazed. There was a dinging sound and the doors disappeared again. I stood there and Bridget motioned for me to follow her.

We walked down a long hall with furry flooring. We suddenly stopped in front of a door while Bridget dug in her bag for what she called ‘keys.’ I wandered if this door would disappear as well.

She swung the door open and kicked the things she had on her feet off. “This is my home and I guess yours too while you’re here. Do whatever you’d like but don’t touch my posters of cardboard cutouts.”

I looked around the room from the doorway. I nearly fainted when I saw pictures of Harry all over the walls. My Harry. For the millionth time that day my eyes bulged out.

I walked further in and Bridget slammed the door behind me. There was a full size cutout of Harry with legs. He looked so different when he didn’t have a tail.

“This is the Harry I’m looking for.”

“Same.”

“Will you help me find him?”

“I’m working on that myself. Wait how do you know Harry?”

“He was a merman for a while.”

“What? They said you were different. But I wasn’t expecting this.”

I brought a finger and caressed a picture of Harry staring off into the distance. I looked at the other posters. The four other men in the photos looked familiar. I just couldn’t place my fin on how I knew them.

“WAIT!” Bridget screeched while grabbing a rectangular device of the counter.

She scrolled her thumbs across the device. “HARRY STYLES WENT MISSING FOR A MONTH AROUND THE COAST OF BRIGHTON THEN REAPPEARED A MONTH AFTER ON THE BEACH I PICKE D YOU UP FROM!” Her eyes were huge behind the glass frames she had in front of them.

“WAVERLY TELL ME EVERYTHING.”

We sat on the couch and she sat upright staring at me. I went on to tell her everything. She sat there with her mouth wide open. “Waverly you are living my dream.”

“Will you help me find him.”

“Did you guys have sex?”

“BRIDGET!”

“Did you?”

“Yes.”

“OH MY GOD. I WORSHIP THE SEA YOU SWIM IN!!!! How was he?”

“Surprisingly good for a first timer.”

She nodded her head and looked off into the distance at a poster of Harry. I slapped her arm, “Stop thinking aboat him. He’s mine.”

“Not for long.”

“BRIDGYEET!”

She just smirked.

“Will you kelp me find him?” I eagerly asked.

“Yes. I think I know how to.”
