Six year old Patrick Anderson couldn't believe his eyes. Mermaids, real honest to God mermaids. He could tell because the way they moved their tails, no human wearing costumes could do that.
The mermaids were giggling and playing with each other. Patrick wasn't sure why, but he wanted to be included.
"Ex.. excuse me.." Patrick said as the beautiful mermaids turned to see Patrick. "well hello there little one." The leader said with a warm, welcoming smile. "Hi, my name is Patrick, I was wondering if I could swim with you. You all look really pretty and really nice." Patrick said innocently. "Aww, of course you can Patrick. Allow us to introduce ourselves.” The last mermaid, with platinum blonde hair and a light blue tail, like aquamarine, spoke. “I am Lorelei.”
“Polly.” The sapphire mermaid said.
“Clarissa.” Said the ruby mermaid.
“Kelly.” Added the emerald mermaid.
“Nina.” The amethyst mermaid spoke.
“Barbara.” The topaz mermaid said.
Patrick smiled as he tried to slide into the water. Lorelei smiled as she lifted him into her arms and helped him into the water. "Thank you." Patrick said as grinned. "Your welcome sweetie." Lorelei smiled, playfully booping Patrick on his nose.
