The Golden Tail at Hampton Bays

Back at the rock castle, the mermaids are thrilled to see that everyone is okay, with just some bumps and bruises. Lola is upset and angry about what Donnie did but is happy he and Aqua are safe. They all call the mermen, Tyler, Emma, and Calem heroes for saving the oceans again. 


        “That was close, and it’s scary to think about what could have happened,” Acrilla says. “I’m glad you’re all okay, but don’t ever sneak out like that again,” she says to Donnie. “And as for you three, we need to get you home.” 


        “I want to say goodbye to everyone, and then go home,” Emma says. Aqua and Donnie hug her, Tyler, and Calem.


        “We’ll miss you guys,” Aqua says. She and Emma emotionally hug each other. Tyler and Calem fist pump with Donnie.


        “You guys and your world are so cool, and wish I could see more of it,” Donnie says. 


Noah swims up, nudges them, and then presses his nose in Tyler and Calem’s faces. He then presses a kiss on Emma’s face causing her to blush.
