One memorable day there was a 10-year-old girl, who lived in the Bahamas, named Jamie Lee. One day after getting in a dispute with her mom, about Jamie not completing her chores and not cleaning her room. Jamie went down to a lagoon and sat down to write in her private journal. After Jamie was finished writing she stood up and started to walk back when she promptly fell in the sparkling water and Jamie can’t swim, therefore, she began to asphyxiate and great white sharks started to swarm her, suddenly Jamie felt a hand caress her arm it was difficult to see but Jamie made out that two mermaids saved her life. When she got back to the shore Jamie observed them and was in awe.  She asked them for their names, and the girl said “my name is Adella” and the boy said, “my name is Josh”. She expressed her thanks and showed gratitude for them saving her life. 

Jamie went down to the lagoon over the next 9 years to visit Josh and Adella. They all became best friends, and over the nine years, Jamie started to secretly fall in love with Josh, Adella's boyfriend. As the sun began to set Adella found Jamie kissing Josh, and Adella was infuriated. Adella and Jamie started fighting in the lagoon, and minutes later Adella pulled Jamie in the water and hauls her to the bottom of the ocean. As Jamie starts to lose consciousness Jamie abruptly caressed a hand, it was an unusual feeling, when she turned to see who it was she saw that it was a merman. When the man brought Jamie to the shore Josh yelled at him. Come to find out that the merman was Josh’s brother, and his name was Jackson. While Jackson was making sure Jamie was okay, Adella and Josh talked and Jamie apologized to Adella. They made a pact to never let anything come between them again. Over the next couple of weeks, Jamie started to fall madly in love with Jackson. Over the next few weeks, Jackson brought Jamie into the water to teach her to swim. Finally, when Jamie could hold her breath for a long period of time and successfully learn to swim Jackson took Jamie to the bottom of the sea to see the coral reef and the ocean sea life. Jamie and Jackson are at the bottom of the ocean as Jackson leans in to kiss, Jamie starts to turn into a mermaid. 

When Jamie stopped coming home Julie Lee (Jamie’s mom) went down to the shore where Jamie usually spent her time. Julie then saw her beloved daughter, and saw that her daughter was a mermaid, although she was genuinely shocked, Julie accepted that her daughter was a mermaid and she was proud to have her daughter back in her life. After a while, Jamie, Jackson, Adella, and Josh sought out their differences and became friends again. After a couple of years, both of the couples got married and had two children (twins) a boy and a girl named John and Amy in which they maintained an excellent family and they all lived happily ever after.
