Nathan chuckled and kissed her forehead. "I love you, Sirene." He murmured quietly. He blinked when she mentioned trying to turn him into a book reader, and swam beside her. "I read books, I just don't tell you." He teased playfully.

Nathan pretended to grimace at the thought of reading more, then smirked and lightly kissed her cheek. "Alright, let's see what they have." He said as he followed her. Nathan looked over the books on the shelf carefully, as if actually looking for a specific book. He was curious if they'd actually have it here.

Nathan blinked and glanced at her when she asked, then flushed some and glanced back at the books on the shelf as he skimmed the titles, thoroughly. "It's about legends of the sea sprites. They're very different from us, and I'm interested in learning about them." He explained, hoping he didn't sound out of character.

A younger mermaid swam up, she looked to be one of the bookkeepers, or an assistant. "Legends and folktale are over there." Nathan just about spazzed since he didn't see her coming.

By the time Nathan had calmed down from being spooked, the other mermaid had disappeared elsewhere and Sirene had found the book. He glanced around briefly, before smiling at his girlfriend and got the book from her. "We'll see how fast I read it." He teased lightly. Nathan held her hand. "Let's go find my sister and pay for our books. It's getting late." Truthfully, he just wanted to go home. That other mermaid gave him the chills.

Nathan swam along with her, to find his sister.

Natalie was humming along as she swam around to look at other books. She noticed the other two and swam over to them. "A found a magazine on jewelry making~" She chirped happily.

Nathan blinked as she took the book from him, and smiled. "Thanks." He said, kissing her cheek. Natalie giggled, and nodded lightly. "Ready~" She chirped, holding her books. "But I'm buying my books." She said with a smile.

Natalie happily paid for her books and followed her friend. Nathan smirked lightly and took his book, kissing her on the cheek. "Thanks." Natalie giggled and hide her blush with her books.

The siblings nodded, and Nathan wrapped an arm around her waist. Natalie giggled once again, swimming around happily. "I think we should have a sleepover!" She chirped. It would be getting dark soon anyway, and everyone had already eaten dinner. It sounded like a pretty good idea to her.

Later that night, everyone was asleep in Sirene's bed. They had stayed up most of the night talking about building their 'dream house', and laughing of course. They were all snuggled together like siblings.

(Hey, how would you like the idea of Natalie getting caught by fishermen and Bryan saved her? Nathan and Sirene could be involved too :p )

(Yep! ~<3 idea effective immediately xD)

Natalie woke around the time dawn not the surface. She wasn't usually an early riser, but she couldn't go back to sleep, so she slowly and carefully slipped out of the bed as to not wake her friend or brother.

It was after she left the house that she realized it wasn't early at all. Just dark. She could see the darkening affects of a storm and immediately swam for the surface to watch. She did love storms, after all.
