In the seaside town of Sandy Summer lived many humans. They had legs, which they used to walk, run, jump, bike, drive and do many other things. One of these humans was 20 year old Bradley Keaton, a young bachelor who lived in an apartment near Sandy Summer's beach. Bradley was unemployed and lived alone. He longed for a different life than his current one. Bradley was fascinated by water and the sea, and would often go out surfing at the beach. He was currently relaxing in his home, reading a book about merpeople. He suddenly got a text from his friend, Barry.

"What's up?" Barry texted.

"Not much, I'm just reading a book." Bradley texted back.

"Cool, what's it about?" Barry texted back.

"Merpeople." Bradley texted back.

"Merpeople? Do you believe in those, Bradley?" Barry texted back.

"Maybe I do, Barry. Maybe I don't." Bradley texted back.

"Bradley, merpeople are just a myth. They don't exist." Barry texted back.

"Everyone's free to have their own beliefs, Barry. That includes me. Now, I gotta go. I'm gonna go surfing." Bradley texted back as he put his phone away and prepared to go to the beach.

Under the sea surface lived many merpeople. Mermaids and mermen. Rather than legs, they had fish like tails as their lower halves, allowing them to swim much faster than a human. They also had gills, allowing them to breathe and live underwater. One of the underwater kingdoms under the sea surface was Sublantica, which was ruled by King Neptune. He had two daughters: Luna and Winnie. For most of their life, Luna and Winnie had been told stories about humans and to never go near them. Luna, however, doesn't believe humans are all that bad, and would like to meet one of them one day.

Sublantica was very busy today, as mermaids and mermen alike were preparing for Luna's 18th birthday. King Neptune was also busy preparing for his daughter's birthday.

"Princess Winnie!" Luna and Winnie's personal assistant, Darla called as she swam into Winnie's room and saw the 15 year old shoulder length black haired princess sleeping soundly in her bed. "My lady, it's time to wake up." Darla said.

"Why, Darla?" Winnie asked as she turned to her closet, seeing her pearl tiara ready for her. Winnie gasped as she sat up, and swam over to her tiara with a speed that not even Darla knew she had. Winnie had a black shell bra and a black and white fishtail.

Once Winnie had her pearl tiara on, she swam out the door with her fin flipping behind her, as she saw the light shining everywhere.

"Wow, the ocean's quite sunny today! Perfect for Luna's birthday!" Winnie said.

Meanwhile, Luna, the birthday girl was preparing herself as well. Luna was a mermaid with long brown hair, a light green shell bra and a light green fishtail.

"Well, here goes nothing." Luna said as she put on her golden crown and swam out her room.

Winnie laughed as she swam circles round a pillar out of excitement, getting Darla to giggle at this. King Neptune was talking with some party guests. King Neptune was a merman in about his late 40s with brown hair that was starting to get gray, as well as a beard that was starting to get gray as well, along with a red fishtail. King Neptune was wearing his large crown made of gold, decorated with diamonds, rubies, sapphires and aquamarines and a red cape. Luna then swam up to the top of the staircase, and floated down to her family and all the party guests. She began greeting everyone, and got comfortable with them as the day went on.

Later that day, Luna was sitting at a table, eating a seaweed sandwich. Once she had finished eating it, she swam over to her father. "Daddy, can I go out to Crystal Caves alone, just for today, please?" She asked her father.

"Okay, because it is your 18th birthday, I will allow this. Be careful." King Neptune said to her.

"I will, daddy! Thank you!" Luna said as she swam out of the palace to head to Crystal Caves.

"Hmmm, I think I'll take advantage of this chance to check out the nearby beach." Luna said as she swam upwards to Sandy Summer's beach. She stuck her head above the water and looked around. She spotted Bradley, surfing on his surfboard. Luna smiled when she saw him.

"Boy, he's cute." Luna sighed happily. "I wonder how they ride the waves on such big sticks...Whatever, he's the one for me! But he's a human..." She said to herself. Luna continued to watch Bradley surfing throughout the day. She then saw the sun setting.

"Yikes! Look at the time! I better get going!" Luna said before looking to Bradley one more time. "Bye, my little merprince..." She said before diving under the water, going back to Sublantica. Bradley, on the other hand, had gone back to shore. He was tired from all the surfing he had done today.

"Aw, man...I'm really tired right now...I'm gonna go home now and prepare some dinner..." Bradley yawned as he packed his stuff and went home. He prepared some dinner, and began to eat it.

Meanwhile, Luna had arrived back at the palace. The party guests had gone home. Luna entered the palace, lovestruck. Neptune would notice this.

"Boy, you're really happy. What happened?" Neptune asked his daughter.

"I saw the most wonderful hu- crystal." Luna said.

Neptune raised an eyebrow. "What were you about to say?" He asked.

"I was about to say huge, but now that I remember, the crystal was actually small, hehe." Luna replied.

"Alright, dinner's about to be served. Come on down to the dining room." Neptune told Luna.

"Alright, daddy!" Luna said as she swam with her father to the dining room. Neptune, Luna and Winnie then had dinner together. Following dinner, Luna swam to her room and hugged her pillow, sighing happily. Winnie knocked on the door.

"Hey, sis, can I come in?" Winnie asked.

"Sure..." Luna said, lovestruck. Winnie then proceeded to enter the room, closing the door behind her. She then saw Luna, lovestruck.

"Hey, what's the matter, Luna?" Winnie asked her big sister.

"I saw the most wonderful human at the beach on the surface today, Winnie!" Luna said happily.

"What?! A human?! You're in love with a human?! Daddy's gonna flip if he finds out!" Winnie said to Luna.

"Relax, Winnie. Daddy will not know. Can you keep this a secret?" Luna asked her little sister.

"Of course, Luna, because I cannot imagine what daddy would say if he found out. I just hope you know what you're doing, because not all humans are nice." Winnie told Luna.

"I know what I'm doing, Winnie. I'll be fine." Luna said.

"Alright. Well, night, sis." Winnie said as she left the room.

"Night." Luna replied as she continued to hug her pillow. "Good night, my little merprince." She happily sighed and fell asleep. She then began dreaming about Bradley as a merman.

Meanwhile, on the surface, Bradley was just watching a little tv. He was zapping through the channels, but could not find any interesting shows to watch. He drank the last of his soda before turning off the tv and putting his glass in the sink.

"I'm just gonna go to bed..." Bradley said as he went into his bedroom, undressed himself and got in bed. He turned off the lights and went to sleep, dreaming about the ocean.
