Shaded eyes lazily scan the surface of the water.

Your name is Dave and your bro has dragged you along with him on another stupid vacation and onto a stupid boat.

For the past two years he's been dragging you to some island every chance he gets. You're pretty sure it's just so he can ogle this one islander. In fact you are on his boat right now. You don't have anything against him and you want your bro to be happy but jegus are you tired of being dragged places by them. At first it was kinda cute, even though you will never say that out loud but it gets old watching them make out every five minutes.

So here you are, in your trunks, on a boat, bored to death and most likely getting a sunburn despite five layers of spf 5000.

Anyways just when you were primed to get some major daydreaming on you think you see something stick out of the water. At first you think it's a fish, but then you see an arm and for a moment you convince yourself it's part of the previously mentioned daydreaming. But when you see how frantically it's waving around you decide someone probably needs help. You just jump in. The water is colder then you expect but you swim as fast as you can to whoever it was you saw. You get there just in time to see the aforementioned appendage relax and start sinking and dive down and grab at what would appear to be a girl and swim back to the surface. The water is murky so you can see much of her but you suddenly notice much to your embarrassment that

A: she is not wearing a shirt and
B: your hands are dangerously close to her tits

But you realize this isn't nearly as important as getting her onto the boat and by now your brother and jake both know what's going on and are trying to help you back onto the boat.

After a good five minutes of struggling you and the girl, who seemed to have shit tons of hair, where on the boat. It's only then that you notice that she seamed to be trapped in a net, one of her arms tangled in it and some of the ropes were wrapped around her so tightly that she had started to bleed. Her fish like tail was... FISH TAIL!!?

Franticly you look around at your brother and jake. Your bro looks a little freaked out but jake jumps right in and helps you cut the net away and patch her up. She had hurt one of her arms and her tail had been bent in a fairly unnatural way... at least you thought so but you couldn't really be sure. Hell you don't know the first things about merpeople, or was that not what they would call themselves, fish people? Aquatic Americans? Were they even American? Did they have nationalities and stuff like that?

As your mind wandered in the fucking forest that was your thoughts, you completely forgot about what was going on "is she breathing?" You heard your bro ask for what sounded like the second time. You suddenly start wondering if she can breath lean your head in real close to her to see if you could hear a heart beat or anything when side my her eyes snap open. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" She yelps trying swim away from you a bit, ending up really just hurting herself by smacking her tail on the boat. Her eyes were bright green, unnaturally so, they were the most breathtaking sight you think you had ever seen. You could have stated into them all day, and you might have had she not been having a little freak out. "Excuse me, miss, you need to calm down, you hurt yourself in a fishing net" jake explained to her while signaling for you brother to head back to shore

She seemed to calm down a bit and scan her to make sure she wasn't bleeding again only to see well... Boobs, tits, hooters, breasts, and you just can't look away. She doesn't really seem to notice because she was looking around at everything, taking it all in

"So... You guys aren't going to eat me or anything right, because I'm pretty sure mermaid meat is kind of tough and stringy"
