Phillip B. Gottschalk

"Nemo. He is a great white shark, I've had him since he was a pup, he was so cute back then," Selena said her voice almost floating, "He is bigger now, but he is still a cuddle-bug. Maybe if I am around after the wedding we should go and see him, I do grow tired of wearing human clothes, they just feel weird on me, you know?" She asked, and began to sing, softly.

As Phillip listened to Selena talk she confirmed more that was indeed a mermaid. Perhaps the fact that she so freely would admit to having a pet shark or to being uncomfortable in human clothes meant that she knew that he was a merman as well. It didn’t bother Phillip, he was glad that he could be open with her about that as well. “I’ve never been on friendly terms with a shark before. I didn’t see many of them where I came from. But there seem to be plenty here. I would like to go see him.” Phillip replied with a big smile. “I also know how you feel about human clothing. It took a while but once I got used to them I began to love wearing them. They can accentuate one’s personality. For example, because you seem to have a very bright personality, bright colored clothes would accent your personality. Molly taught me that.” Phillip was somewhat proud to share some land based knowledge with his new young friend.

Molly Vanessa Dubois

When Mrs. Dubois asked about the grooms parents Luke hung his head “I I'm an orphan ma'am "he said his voice sounding sincere.

“Oh my heavens! I hope I didn’t upset you Sir Bachgen! My sincerest apologies!” Mrs. Dubois apologized she bowed elegantly and respectfully.

“Yevette dear…” Mr. Dubois sighed. “Well son, it seems that you’ve grown to be a fine young man and I’m sure they would be most glad to know that!” Mr. Dubois gave Luke another hug. He had no problem showing affection to others and as a king, he was admired by everyone in his kingdom. He had no problem with other nations in terms of political relations. So under his rule the island has known nothing but peace.

Molly could take hiding in the Brides room no longer. She opened the double doors and stepped out as if she weren’t breaking any of her mother’s rules. She had overheard part of her fiancée and parent’s conversation and came ready with a comment of her own. “Greetings, Sir. Bachgen. I suppose today you shall be an orphan no longer. You’ll have my family to call your own from today on right?” Molly spoke calmly as she held up her dress while approaching the group.

“Molly I told you to STAY…. In the Bride’s ROOM!! Heaven’s it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony! Oh No!!!” Mrs. Dubois was highly upset, however she had a feeling that Molly wouldn’t stay in that room even had she locked it.

“Well mother I suppose we shall have to start the ceremony now won’t we.” Molly sassed eloquently. She was tired of waiting around for her fate to be decided for her.

“Oh… darling must you upset your mother so?” Mr. Dubois said as he gave Molly a slight look of disappointment. However he was most proud of his daughter. He could see that she carried his heart and her mother's determination.

Molly gave Luke a curtsey, “Shall we be married Sir. Bachgen?” She smiled.
