   "Hey brother! I think I saw something in the water!"

   It had been hundreds of years since your kind had been seen, hundreds of years since boats stopped sinking into the depths of your home.

   Humanity was gone, the surviving creatures knew it and felt it in their very beings. Nothing even remotely human like should exist.

   So what was at the surface now?

   You were determined to find out. First, you used your tail to make a small splash. This would get the attention of whatever you had seen.

   One of them had seen you; the weird noises probably meant something significant.

   Your f/c scales flashed in the water as you spoke of your frustrations the only way you could when you lived underwater.

    "Brother look, there's light down there!"

     The strange noises were closer this time. Yet you didn't surface. Not yet.

"Well...let's see what we have here then."

Another set of noises. This one had a different pitch and tone than the other, so maybe the other odd shape had spoken.

In a flurry of bubbles, two oddly shaped...things were in the water beside you.

You thought maybe they belonged to one of the odd shapes, but couldn't figure out they were good for.

So you swam up to them and poked the odd things. What purpose would they have? Poke. Poke. Poke. Poke.

   "It's tickling me!" The slender things jerked and moved away, but you had seen the face, eyes closed in laughter, and you had seen his form, topless but with something resembling scales below his torso.

"Pretty!" You trilled, launching yourself out of the water and letting yourself fall on top of this being.

"Uh...brother...? What did I do?"

You looked at his face and frowned. Maybe he was hurt?

   "Pretty...hurt?" You asked, although from the looks on their faces, it was hard for them to understand you.

    "No...it's okay," the other being said, though the words were meaningless to you. "I think...I think this creature likes you."

     "Huh-? But I can't move!"

      No he couldn't. Your tail was curled up akin to a blanket and your top half rested under his chin.

    It felt like you were meant to be here. With...whoever this person was. It didn't matter.

    In fact, it was so comfortable that you fell asleep, still curled up in that same position.

    "Hey...good morning...um...Y/N..."

    Huh. You weren't sure when you'd fallen asleep but now you certainly weren't anywhere home.

  "Pretty? Home! Home!" You shrieked, and the person below you rolled off the bed to avoid getting hit by your tail.

    Someone was saying something, but you didn't pay attention. You were surrounded by white, not a drop of water in site where is home? Where is home? This was not what you had wanted to happen.

   "Home...pretty..."

   The all too familiar language caught you off guard. Where had they learned how to talk like you?

    "Pretty...yes home?"

   The one who'd spoken nodded. While you narrowed your eyes in suspicion, Pretty got up from where he'd fallen off the platform and wrapped his arms around your torso.

   "Pretty home! Y/N home pretty!"

   The translations would take a while to be fully functional and you would eventually have to learn the names of Pretty and Pretty.

   But for now, it was fine for you to trill in content. Things could wait.
