Prize from the sea (dando20 and Annabella93)

Dane sighed, collapsing on the bed. "How do you keep popping in the home without warning?" Dane asked, tired of dealing with Becca's shenanigans today.
 
Becca shrugged "I used the door?" She plopped on the bed and stretched. "I do miss it here at times " she laughed. Then turned to him. "She blew you off didn't she?"
 
"I didn't hear the door open" Dane said suspiciously. "And no she didn't blow me off. We're just leaving each other alone for a bit." Dane said, turning away from Becca.
 
"Of course of course," She stretched on the bed. "I don't think she likes anyone being with you.. She likes you to herself.." She lay on her back, and pulled a pillow to her to rest her head. "She's controlling, all her kind is." She yawned, and closed her eyes briefly.
 
Dane sighed, ignoring Becca's silly words. It was then his stomach growled, making him blush. "Ummm..you want anything to eat?" Dane asked Becca. "I have some leftover chicken.." Dane said "Or what else do you want to eat?"
 
Becca licked her lips meaningfully, "hmm... I don't know..." She looked over him then smiled. Almost too triumphantly. "Anything is okay..." She stretched again on the bed.
 
Dane went downstairs to fry some chicken stir-fry for both of the girls...but he put some strong tasteless sleeping powder when sharing the meal but not for his plate, making sure they both fall in a deep sleep till morning. He wanted to teach Becca some manners and he didn't need Bella walking in on them again.

Dane got a plate of the stir-fry and gave some to Bella after she was done swimming. He then walked upstairs and gave the other plate to Becca, making sure he had the plate with no powder. "Hope you like it.." Dane said to her.
 
Belle blinked, she wasn't hungry. She sat at the edge of the pool letting her tail swing back and forth, "where are you goin?" She eyed him curiously she didn't expect him to go away when she saw the plates.


Becca sat up and grinned." You were an amazing cook," she reminded going to the table where the plates were.
 
"I need to check on how Becca is doing. Just stay hidden and I'll check on you later" Dane said to his mermaid. "I'll be sure to save your food." Dane said to Bella.

Dane set the meal for Becca and saved Bella's own share since she wasn't eating. "Well I try" Dane said blushing to Becca. He sat down eating his meal and seeing if Becca will like her meal.
 
Becca plopped down and took a bite of her chicken. Delighted in the taste that exploded in her mouth. "This is not bad," she took another bite. She gestured at the plate. "Let me guess she did not want?" The girl was angry that's a good sign.
 
"No she's not hungry. She's busy swimming, getting her laps done" Dane explained to Becca as they ate their meal.
 
"Well I tried some new peppers for the stir-fry. Never tried it before but it seems OK to me. You don't like it?" Dane said, acting like nothing was wrong.
 
"I don't hate it." She grinned taking another mouthful. "Kind of reminds me of saffron... " she licked her lips. "What's for dessert?" She yawned slightly wiping her lips with a napkin.
 
"I got some chocolate chip ice cream" Dane said smiling. He got to the fridge, glad that the powder was working. He put up small bowl and scooped the ice cream for the both of them.
 
Feeling slightly heavy, Becca frowned slightly. She had slept well the day before, why she felt this overwhelming exhaustion was beyond her. She plopped on the bed, almost too lazily, and waited for Dane.
 
"You Ok?...You feel tired" Dane asked Becca. Any minute she will be out of it and won't wake up till the next morning.
 
Becca nodded, "I did sleep well," She admitted laying back her head on the pillow. "But I guess I still am sleepy.." her eyes drooped. "I'll take a short nap.." She mumbled half asleep.
 
Dane smiled, letting Becca sleep on the couch. He saved her ice cream on the freezer and went back to the pool. "Bella..are you still going to eat your food?" Dane asked her.
 
Belle swam to the surface brushing her hair off her face. "Later," She pulled herself out the water, her tail still inside. She pushed his hair off his forehead, studying his features. "The pool water is getting uncomfortable," she admitted. "I think I need a natural source." She continued, it could possibly be the reason for her unsteady mood swings.
 
"I see...I'll be sure to work on that.but Bella...are you jealous that Becca is here?" Dane asked Bella.
 
That probably hit too close to home. "Honestly?" She eyed him, "I don't know." She admitted glancing down at her tail. "I don't like the way she treats me. Or you for that matter, I know she doesn't like me very much, and it frustrates me that she wants to stay here despite her obvious dislike for me," It made her feel alienated. "It feels like she's challenging some unknown force." She sighed. "I thought you didn't want her to stick around.." She asked curiously. "You particularly told me to stay away from her," She recalled, "you changed your mind about that?" She asked slipping into he water, and just letting her head and arms out on the side resting her chin over her hand.
 
"Well I just don't want you to have a huge fight so I thought it would be better to get you two separate. She keeps saying mean things about you but I figured there are just insults that she doesn't know what she is talking about. I think there is something about her and I need to find out so I know what to do with her. She's asleep now so I'll need to take the chance now." Dane told Belle.
 
Belle was quite confused. She shook her head to straighten her thoughts. "Look.. maybe you can take me back to the park at night, I'll go in the lake there... I'll be away from here, and it's natural running water.." She remembered there was even a river there leading away to god knows where.

"What do you mean take the chance now?" She frowned watching him.
 
Dane was a bit nervous leaving Belle alone at night but at least she'll be in her natural element. "Well I meant that I'll do some research about her...something I should have done a long time ago. And I won't have to worry about her popping in unexpectingly ."

"Dane walked to Belle, petting her. "So do you want to go to the park now?" Dane asked.
