"their are other special guests I'm waiting for". "personal or professional?" Jane asked. "my brother and his daughter are coming and hopefully for a very long time" Jessica answered.
this reminded Molly about Angela a bit as she was only being accompanied by her father and that her aunt was a permanent resident at the resort, this was soon confirmed when Angela and her blond-haired physical fit father suddenly emerged from the tunnel "ah, speak of the devils" Jessica remarked. "Really Sis? in front of young children?" Angela's father complained at the sight of his sister being topless. "this was why I was pleading for centaurs among the choices, least I could still wear ny shirt" Angela returned while floating beside her father in embarrassment". "Hay it's not all back and it turned out it was my choice Angela" Molly assured. "thanks Molly" Angela accepted. "you three were on the bus, Angela got to talking with your daughter" Angela's father then realized. "here for her birthday...and this is the result" Carl assured mr Matthews. "now then Ryan if your done complaining about pointless things that matter not underwater you mind me escorting you all to the merfolk habitat?" Jessica then inquired in distaste. "LEAD ON" Molly joyfully yelled.
before long Jessica had escorted the two families to this bright underwater cove where various merfolk of various ages were swimming about either in races or gliding about like one normally walks, seated as a quire practicing their singing or in some areas playing various sports, both water themed or adapted for underwater. "who knew there was so many things to do as merfolk?" Jane remarked in wonder. "before joining in I'd advise seeing your sleeping areas first" Jessica responded "thankfully they are close by to each other".
after swimming up to this section of caves within the cove that had numbers above the openings "Scotts your in cave 27. Ryan, you and Angela are in cave 21" Jessica instructed. "we're sleeping in caves?" Carl questioned. "think of them like hotel rooms like other holidays" Jessica suggested. "well Carl for all we know their are beds inside" Jane followed as the Scotts swam into cave 27. "I'll be out here for awhile in case there are any new questions" Jessica meanwhile assured.
the cave was rather well setup if one overlooked all the chairs and tables were made of rocks (at least cushioned to avoid hard seating in the former), their were a few mirrors, vanity tables, basic hair care equipment. the only issues were the seemingly lacks of beds and two giant clamshells, one so big both Carl and Jane could fit in no problem while the other was more limited to someone Molly's size. "excuse me a moment" Jane requested before swimming back outside then dragging Jessica into the cave with her. "their a problem?" Jessica asked. "I should think so... WE HAVE NO BEDS" Carl answered. "So? mermaids don't always use beds in stories" Molly countered. "anyone here claustrophobic?" Jessica then asked. "no..." Carl admitted. "them the clamshells are alright then" Jessica responded. "wait? you mean- we're expected- we're sleeping inside those?" Jane mumbled. "COOL" Molly cried in joy. "they open a lot easier then you think" Jessica then assured as she demonstrated by opening the bigger clamshell with little effort "as a couple you two parents will share this one". "which makes this one mine" Molly called as she opened the smaller one.
"...sorry about dragging you inside?" Carl apologised after taking in the explanation. "it's OK, it happens" Jessica assured. "but we broke-" Jane started. "were you planning on eating me? we only respond to rule one when attacks result in serious injuries or worse, alongside those who think it's OK to eat guests of staff who go about as their chosen form's natural pray" Jessica interrupted.
later on as it was getting dark above the water after eating and partaking in some of the activities "*yawn* night mum, night dad" Molly called in exhaustion as she opened her clamshell, got in while getting into a slight curled position, then closed her clamshell backup. "have to admit now the inside of those clamshells do look inviting" Jane admitted. "I'm more relieved Molly made it through the activities unscathed" Carl returned "least she made a new friend today". "Though Angela dose seem to be more of a tomboy then Molly in a number of ways" Jane stated in slight distaste. "Molly is Molly dear, and these days you can't but accept more girls are getting into sports and adventures" Carl returned kindly.
"so... you ready for bed then?" Carl then asked. "might as well... we have a long week ahead of us" Jane agreed:
