Alone.

[Dallas Fairchild]

Dallas sat all alone with his feet in the sparkling water of the lake. He always seemed to be alone. He sighed. In some ways he missed the little kids at the orphanage bugging him to play their stupid make believe games. But now he had no-one, so spent the day watching the giant squid swimming lazily past.

 

[Jeeyan]

Jeeyan was lurking around the lake when she noticed feet trashing about the water..Curiosity aroused,Jeeyan threaded the water to see human feet..She splashed far away and exhibited a somersault above the water to catch the human's attention..

 

[Dallas Fairchild]

As Dallas was looking across the lake he noticed a splash in the lake. Then he saw something somersault... a merperson? He carried on watching, entranced, to see if the creature would appear again.

 

[Jeeyan]

Jeeyan smiled as she noticed the boy looked in her direction..She swam back and poke her head out..She smiled and waved,beckoning him to take a dip with her..

 

[Dallas Fairchild]

Dallas smiled and waved to the creature in the lake. He noticed her beckon him into the water and shook his head a little. He wasn't sure whether he wanted to go swimming with merpeople in a lake that was home to a giant squid.

 

[Jeeyan]

Jeeyan smiled and beckoned again..She swam closer to the boy and slid underwater..

She then spoke in a melodic voice.."Let's play..Squiddy's not here..",she smiled..

She swirled around and poke back above water..

 

[Dallas Fairchild]

Dallas tilted his head to one side, thinking. He wondered whether it was wise to just jump in to the lake to play with a merperson but in the end he really didn't care. He had no friends so why not make friends with merpeople? He took of his jacket and jumped in. As he bobbed to the surface he laughed. The water was freezing but he really didn't care.

 

[Jeeyan]

Jeeyan laughed and clapped her hands as the guy jumped in..She dived under and smiled.."Im Jeeyan..Playful mermaid of the bunch..",she introduced herself..

 

[Dallas Fairchild]

"Jeeyan, that's a pretty name. I'm Dallas" He said with a smile

 

[Jeeyan]

Jeeyan swirled around Dallas and laughed crossing her arms.."Nice name..For a human..",she replied..She looked around and asked,"Why are you alone??"
