Prologue
"Ah! Mason!" I squeal as he throws cake at me.
Mason laughs at the cake in my hair and swims over to the cupcakes where Flip is. He whispers something into his ear and Flip, being the sneaky dolphin he is, nods his head and looks at me mischievously. They both grab the platter of cupcakes my mother made and smashes them onto my head. I try to swim away, but I'm too late. Next thing I know, I'm covered head-to-toe in cupcakes, the frosting stuck in my golden locks and sticking to my scales.
"I'm going to get you for that!" I yell at them before I give me best warrior scream and grab the seaweed punch, splashing it onto Mason and Flip.
Flip lets out his high-pitched squeak and Mason screams like a little girl yelling "I'm melting! I'm melting!"
I start laughing at my work but before I could bask in my glory, Mason swims in front of me in an instant and tackles me to the ground. We start rolling around in the sand and Mason pins himself on top of me and starts his revenge by tickling me. Me, being the very ticklish person I am, starts laughing, begging him to stop. Flip, after getting the punch out of his eyes finally, swims over and uses his fins to tickle me. Since Flip has fins that are slippery, they tickle much more and soon my laughing turns into gasps of air from laughing so hard.
"Alright! That's enough! Let your sister go!" My father yells as he enters the kitchen.
Flip gets off and so does my brother while I lay on the ground still trying to catch my breath.
"Apologize to your sister and then join us outside with the rest of the family."
"What! She started it!" Mason yelled pointing an accusing finger at me. Flip chirps in agreement.
"No, I didn't!" I yell from the floor.
I stand up and brush the sand off that stuck to my scales and begin to work on getting the frosting out of my hair.
"Yes, you did! Don't you see the punch all over me?!" Mason yelled, still sticking to his defense.
I put on my puppy eyes and swam up in front of my dad.
My tail is also smaller and not as powerful or strong as my brothers, which is why they are much more avid swimmers than I. While all of them are around 6'2 when in human form, im only around 5'1.
Aiden is the oldest, he's 25. Lucas is 23, Levi is 22, Tyler is 21, and Mason is 20, while I just recently turned 18.
I shake my head, discarding my thoughts before I swim down and join my brothers. I slip in between the coral farther down while Aiden, being the tagged one, is distracted from chasing Levi. Aiden chases Levi down farther by another section of coral into the deeper depths until I cant see them anymore. Come to think of it, I can't see any of my brothers since they all swam down there and haven't come back up yet. I emerge from my hiding place before swimming over to where my brothers went. I hide behind a piece of red coral higher up and wait for them to come out.
A few minutes pass and I see nothing, and I begin to wonder if they went down somewhere else. I come out of my hiding place into the open. I look down and focus my attention on any little movement that happens within my eyesight. I hear movement from behind me, and as I turn around, I realize my mistake of coming out into the open. I get suddenly pushed into the sand with all my brother's dog-piling on top of me.
"Oh, my Neptune! What have you been eating Lucas?!?" I yell since Lucas was the one directly on top of me, crushing me.
"Well, earlier I had some chips, a little seaweed wrap, oh and some popcorn-"
"Get your fat tail off of me!" I interrupt and try to shove him off to no avail since my other four brothers were on top laughing.
