My name is Tiki. I am a sea nymph and one of the thêm devious ones at that. I’m always playing pranks on the surface dwellers with the help of my dad. He is a very powerful Ocean master. One day, he assigned me a new task: play with the tim, trái tim of the one named Wally West to get him distracted from his work as Kid Flash. I agreed readily to the task. I was put through a minor shaping shifting spell so I could change my dark blue skin to that of a tan human. I swam to the surface wearing a one piece swim suit. My naturally Cyan blue hair was now blonde with a blue streak and I had hình xăm going over my blue eyes. I swam silently to the bờ biển, bãi biển where I found my target: the ginger known as Wally West. I started to swim faster to the shore, not making a single splash. When the water got too shallow, I pretended to be unconscious and I let the waves push me onto the beach. I mentally called Wally over to me. He looked down on my limp body.
“Woah! Dude, there’s an unconscious babe on the beach. That’s new” he said. I ‘spluttered’ up water and ‘weakly’ opened my eyes.
“W-who are you?” I asked weakly
“The name’s Wally West. Who are you?” he asked, pulling me from the water.
“I’m Tiki” I đã đưa ý kiến quietly
“That’s a pretty name. Where do bạn live? I could arrange a ride trang chủ for you” he said. I live in…Canada. Yeah, Canada, that’ll work” I murmured
“Okay, I might not be able to get bạn trang chủ after all” he said, helping me up.
“How’d bạn get here if bạn live in Canada?” he asked
“I was…uh on a cruise when I fell overboard. I must’ve hit my head on something and I drifted here” I lied
“Oh. Do bạn have any Những người bạn hoặc family here in Happy Harbor?” he asked
“No, but I’m sure I’ll be out of here in no thêm than a week. See, I’m very resourceful” I smiled
“Well, for now I could ask if bạn could stay with me. It’ll be like a long sleepover until bạn find a way home. If bạn want to, that is” he smiled
“Um, okay” I nodded. I followed him into town where he accessed a pay phone. He put four quarters in and dialed a number. I waited outside the booth as he talked to the person on the other end of the line. He turned around, still on the phone and gave me a big thumbs up. I smiled and watched as he hung up and walked out.
“We are a go for the sleepover. My Uncle is going to be here in a minute. For now, let’s find bạn some cloths” he said, glancing at my swim suit. He was quiet for a bit, then a group of people came walking down the street. They all looked friendly. Then I recognized one as the Atlantien Kalder’ahm. I was glad I used a shape shifting spell, hoặc he would no doubtedly recognize me. The girl with blonde hair looked at me coolly.
“So, this is your new girlfriend?” she asked
“I just met her. How could she be my girlfriend already?” he asked
“Because bạn invited her to your house for a sleepover, and bạn tend to be quick with a lot of things” the one in the shades grinned
“Well, I’m not his girlfriend” I said
“You seem familiar. Do I know you?” Kalder asked
“No. Do I know you?” I asked
“No. Well, I don’t think bạn do” he shrugged
“By the way, my name is Tiki Waters” I added, making up a last name.
“That’s a unique name” the girl with brown hair said
“Thanks. I think” I added
“Well, Wally called and đã đưa ý kiến bạn needed clothes, so we brought some” the brunette said, holding out an overskirt.
“That was very kind of you” I said, slipping it on over my swim suit.
“Good. It fits” she smiled “I’m Megan, bởi the way” I shook her hand.
“I’m Kalder. It is good to meet you” he said. I shook his outstretched hand. It was cool to the touch. I looked down and noticed his fingers were webbed.
“Your fingers!” I gasped. He quickly drew back his hand.
“It is a skin condition” he đã đưa ý kiến quickly. I looked at him skeptically.
“You look very familiar” I said. I looked him from bottom to top, my gaze resting on his eyes. Realization dawned on me.
“You’re Aqualad” I đã đưa ý kiến in a hushed voice.
“What would make bạn think such an odd thought?” he asked
“Webbed hands, pants that are far back, a high collared áo khoác in summer; But what gave it away were your eyes: both bạn and Aqualad and silver irises” I said. I then carefully inspected the rest of the people.
“Robin, Super Boy, Artemis Kid Flash and Miss Martian. You’re them, aren’t you?” I asked. They pulled me to a dark, abandoned alley.
“We are. But bạn must not tell anyone” Kalder murmured
“I know, I know. You’re heroes. Wouldn’t want villains tracking you” I shrugged
“Okay, now that we have that settled, why don’t we go to the cave?” Kalder suggested
“What’s the cave?” I asked, following them to the bờ biển, bãi biển where I washed up. We walked to the mountain and went inside a disguised door.
“This, is the cave” Robin said, gesturing to the cave we entered. I followed them to a dorm area.
“Hey, why don’t bạn stay here instead of going to Wally’s house?” Megan suggested
“Good idea” I agreed. ‘Then I can be closer to trang chủ that way’ I thought. After two days, Wally and I had gotten really close. Another ngày passed and we started to date. On the fourth day, this is what happened: I was walking along the water line, starring at my home, the water, when someone covered my eyes.
“Guess who” đã đưa ý kiến a familiar voice.
“Wally” I smiled. He took his hands off and I turned around. He was smiling and holding something behind his back.
“What’s behind your back?” I asked
“A present for you” he đã đưa ý kiến “Close your eyes” I closed my eyes tightly. He put something around my neck.
“You can open them now” he said. I opened my eyes and looked at the water. In my reflection, I saw a chuỗi hạt, chuỗi hạt cườm made from deku seeds.
“I made it myself” Wally đã đưa ý kiến proudly. My throat swelled. That night, it happened. My dad reclaimed me. The shape shifting spell wore off. My skin started turning blue, along with my hair. I slipped on my áo khoác and ran to the beach. Before I entered the water, a familiar voice stopped me.
“Were bạn even going to say good bye?” he asked. I stayed very still.
“Wally, I must go” I said
“Why?” he demanded. I turned, letting him get a good look at me.
“My father has reclaimed me. I must return” I đã đưa ý kiến quietly
“Was it all an act? Was everything just one big lie strung together bởi your big daddy?” he asked bitterly
“No. It wasn’t supposed to happen this way. It wasn’t supposed to happen to me” I murmured
“What wasn’t?” he asked
“I wasn’t supposed to fall for you. I was just supposed to come, play with your feelings and go. Nothing deeper” I whispered
“You came just to play with my heart? Why? Because bạn don’t have one of your own?” he snarled
“Wally, please” I pleaded, tears in my eyes.
“No. It hurts too much to tình yêu you” he said, turning away from me. I ran into the water and chim bồ câu, bồ câu down into its dark depths. If bạn could cry underwater, I sure was. I went to my father.
“Good, you’re back. I take it bạn succeeded in your mission?” he asked
“Yes” I đã đưa ý kiến quietly
“You do not seem happy? Why is that?” he asked
“I broke his heart, Father” I whispered
“So, bạn succeeded in your job” he shrugged
“At what price?! bạn didn’t even bother to ask how I broke his heart! Do bạn know how I did? He loved me, and I lied to him and deceived him” I yelled
“So? That happened with the others, too” he dismissed
“Yes, I succeeded, but at the price of my heart. My tim, trái tim has been broken in two, leaving him. So, I hope you’re proud” I snarled, tears streaking my face. I ran to my room and cried myself to sleep. I woke in the morning to sunlight. That was odd. I didn’t usually get sun in my room until mid-day. I looked around and realized I was on the bờ biển, bãi biển where I met him. His name was too painful to say. I looked down and realized I had tan skin and blonde hair with a streak of blue in it. I was in a human morph! I got up and walked around. I sat back on the sand and waited. If I knew one thing about him is that he would be out any moment now. I heard someone yell.
‘Knew it’ I thought to myself as Wally ran over to me.
“Tiki? Is that you?” he asked. I turned around.
“Wally, listen-mmph!” he pressed his lips hard to mine, cutting me off. When he broke, tears were in both of our eyes.
“No, bạn listen. I was a huge jerk last night. I shouldn’t have let bạn go. When bạn left, it felt like a piece of me was being ripped out. I didn’t like that feeling” he said
“Wally, I can’t disagree that bạn were being a jerk, but so was I. I shouldn’t have agreed to come just to play with your heart. But then again, I’m glad I did, hoặc else I never would’ve met you, and I never would’ve felt what it’s like to love” I whispered
“Well, when bạn put it that way, I’m kind of glad bạn agreed” he smiled
“So am I, Wally, so am I” I smiled, leaning into his embrace.
“So, what are bạn anyway?” he asked
“Oh, just a mischievous sea nymph in tình yêu with a mortal” I said
“A sea nymph, eh? Does that mean bạn really weren’t half drowned when I found you?” he grinned
“Nah. I was just seeing if bạn would give me mouth to mouth” I smirked
“Well, bạn don’t need to drown for me to give bạn mouth to mouth” he said, leaning in.
“I’m sorry, but EW!” đã đưa ý kiến a new voice. Wally and I spun around to find Robin standing there. I rolled my eyes, smiling slightly.
“Robin, bạn have probably the worst timing in the history of worst timing’s” Wally groaned.
“Go ahead, kiss, make out, do whatever bạn desire, just don’t say anything that mushy ever again around me!” Robin gagged. Wally turned back to me and leaned in. It was like a happy ending in one of those fairy tale phim chiếu rạp where the prince kisses the damsel bởi the sea. Except in this case, the super fast hero kisses the human looking sea nymph bởi the sea. A perfect ending. Until Robin yelled get a room and ran off cackling while we chased after him trying to strangle him.

The End
