TM 321: Cool
Feb. 5th, 2010 01:03 pmDarren Lewis and Eddie Duran were skipping school on a particularly sunny Friday, as high school seniors - and teenagers in general - were wont to do this close to the end of the year. They were at the beach, surfing, swimming, checking out the many, many beautiful bikini-clad women that had appeared to sunbathe, swim, or surf. It was a good day, really. Eddie had even gotten the number of a particularly sexy cougar who he'd promised to look up after he turned eighteen next week. Make things nice and legal. As the noon sun blistered in the air, Eddie and Darren kicked back on their beach towels, feasting on hot dogs and lukewarm soda, watching the waves lap gently at the ocean. They were eating as fast as they could - the waves were great, and they didn't want to wait an hour before heading back into the water.
Suddenly, they noticed the waves becoming stronger, pushing out farther, and some of the water looked...solid, almost.
What they saw next made them ridiculously happy.
Emerging from the roaring waves was a curvaceous figure swathed in emerald green, a mane of vibrant copper-red hair being swept up by the salty breeze. In her right hand she clutched a glinting, preternaturally glowing trident, the gold of which matched the gold of the tiara she wore on her head. She was a sea nymph, an ocean goddess, and oh, here she was, she was looking right at them and okay this was Darren's chance to get one up on Eddie and...
They were drooling.
"Cooool." Darren whispered, scrambling up to his feet.
From where she rose from the waters, Mera smiled a beautiful smile at the boys. She could see what they were thinking all over their face. She really was going to need to find a more private place to rise from, she thought to herself, so that this didn't happen each time she came up to the surface world. She flicked her wrist in the boys' direction as she walked on the sand. A surging column of hard water rose out of the ocean behind her and splashed the two adolescents.
"No," Mera said, mostly to herself, still smiling. "That was cool."
